By the time Mirabel and Flint have got close to Sardine Circle, the center of town, the food storm had started.
Two people stand on the dock as a giant watermelon smashed into the cannery, sending goop, huge seeds, and broken pieces of the ChewAndSwallow sign and building flying all over town.
A dozen enormous chocolate donuts roll down the street, chasing some people as Joe said, "I had a weird dream like this once!"
"There's a macaroni on my head!" A man with a giant macaroni over his head yelled as he blindly ran around, trying get it off, and slammed into a telephone pole, knocking him down.
Kids and a teacher run out of the school as an enormous pancake covered the school, knocking a flagpole down, along with butter and syrup landing on top of the pancake.
"No school!" The kids cheer.
A cherry breaks a shop window and a man steals a TV as a TV with legs breaks another window and steals a man.
Amid the chaos and panic: SCREECH! Mirabel and Flint roll up as Flint steps out of the car, and faces the crowd and Sam as she was still mad at him.
"Everyone!" Flint called out.
The crowd stopped panicking as a giant pretzel smashed through a billboard.
"I want to apologize," Flint said as a giant bagel fell on top of a man through the hole.
Flint got off the car and said, "Especially to you, Sam."
Sam glared at Flint as a giant piece of candy corn rocketed down into a building.
"But I have a plan," Flint announced as a giant sushi roll smashed into a building, a giant hot dog fell onto a roof, a giant olive smashed a sign. "But I have a plan, this flash drive contains a kill code, I will fly up into that food storm, plug it into the machine, and shut it down forever, while you guys evacuate the island using-"
Flint was cut off as Mayor Shelbourne said, "This is all his fault! Get him!"
The crowd ran to Flint in anger as Mirabel opened a door for him.
Flint jumped back into his car as Mirabel closed the door and Steve locked it.
As the crowd rocked the car back and forth, Earl entered as he said, "Hey!"
Everyone stopped rioting and turned to Earl.
"This mess we're in, it's all our faults," Earl said and flipped onto the hood of the car. "Me, I didn't even protect my own son. Look, I'm as mad at Flint as you are. In fact, when he gets out of that car, I'm gonna slap him in the face! I know Flint Lockwood made the food, but it was made to order, and now it's time for us to pay the bill."
The crowd clapped and cheered at Earl's speech as Brent got up from under a piece of pizza on a bench and saluted as shrimps rocket into a building as a spoon sigh read "Spoons" fell off it.
Mirabel and Flint walk out of the car as Steve licked the windshield and a strawberry crashed into another billboard.
"Thank you, Earl," Flint thanked, holding his hand out, but Earl slapped him. "Ow!"
Flint rubbed his cheek while Earl placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Sorry," Earl apologized.
"It's okay," Flint reassured.
"Let's go build some boats!" Earl declared as he flipped off the car before running off.
A few people cheer as they all follow him.
"I'm gonna go build a boat!" Joe yelled, following after Earl.
Mirabel slowly nodded, watching them leave with a determined look.
Just as the crowd started to disappear, Mirabel turned to Flint and said, "Guess I'm coming with you."
Flint nodded and heard Sam's voice say, "I'm coming too."
Sam climbed onto the hood and held up her radar as she said, "You're gonna need someone to navigate you through the storm."
"And a mechanic to repair the car when we're in the air if it gets damaged," Mirabel added, pulling out a wrench. "I borrowed this from your lab by the way."
Just then, a giant tomato between the three of them. Once it was gone, Sam turned her gaze to Flint and said, "We can't let you do this alone, I can't let you do this alone."
"Oh, Sam, I'm so sorry-" Flint said as he goes in for a kiss, but gets denied again.
"Are you kidding?" Sam asked.
"Well, I just thought that-"
"Alright, love birds. Now's not the time," Mirabel chuckled, shaking her head, but then, she muttered to herself a moment later. "Even though I want it to happen."
"Mirabel, stop it!" Sam reprimanded, turning on her mom skills, her face flushing red.
"You're gonna need a co-pilot."
Mirabel, Flint, and Sam look over to see Manny climbing onto the hood of the car to join us.
Mirabel and Flint stare at Manny in confusion while Sam looked surprised.
"You're a pilot too?" Sam asked.
"Yes, I am also a particle physicist," Manny added.
Mirabel held her hands up in confusion and questioned, "Am I missing something?"
Flint nodded in agreement with Mirabel's question, but he also seemed impressed by Manny's skills, crossing his arms.
"Really?" Sam asked in disbelief.
"No, that was a joke, I am also a comedian," Manny jokingly deadpanned, causing Mirabel, Flint, and Sam to laugh.
Steve jumped onto Flint's shoulder and laughed too.
"Let's do this thing!" Flint grinned.
"I'm coming too!"
Mirabel, Flint, Sam, Steve, and Manny pause, looking over to see Brent dashing over to them, without most of his clothes and just in a diaper.
"Brent, uh. That's okay," Flint politely declined, hoping to get Brent to stay here.
Brent did not listen, getting on the hood as he explained, "No, it's not okay. I've been coasting on my fame since I was a baby, but it was all just an illusion."
He placed a hand on Mirabel's shoulder, causing her to uncontrollably glance toward Flint, silently asking for help.
"Maybe up there, I'll find out who I really am," Brent finished, taking his hand back and looking up to the sky.
"Ah, the car's pretty full, so…." Flint trailed off, nervously laughing, but he looked down with confliction written on his face.
Mirabel leaned over to Flint and whispered, "You're gonna regret it, aren't you?"
Flint nodded, slightly shrugging and answered, "Probably."
Turned out, Brent was definitely joining them. Flint drove the Flying Car 2 to the docks and they were getting ready to take flight. Flint sat in the driver's seat, Sam was in the passenger seat, Manny was in between the two, and both Brent and Steve were in the back.
Where was Mirabel? Well…
Since Flint's seat was a little bigger than Sam's (Along an extra seatbelt for some reason, part of Mirabel believes that Flint planned this), along with the fact that Flint and Sam do not want her sitting next to Brent, Mirabel sat beside him.
Mirabel felt tense at first, but Sam grabbed one of her hands, giving her a reassuring smile, which caused her to relax and give her a small grin back.
"Yeah! Brent!" Brent cheered, causing the car to shake.
While Mirabel was happy that Brent was coming along, she knew that was going to get slightly annoyed by him sooner rather than later. It seemed like Sam was already there with how annoyed she looked, but she could not tell with Manny, he was a mystery.
Flint, on the other hand, looked completely done already. Mirabel internally laughed about the situation, but she hid that with a small smile.
"Okay," Flint said as he determinedly with a new resolve, starting the car.
The car rolled down the dock, but after a few moments, they were up in the air. A flock of ratbirds flew past the window, sending Flint a small nod, which he returned with a thumbs up.
"Okay, that was weird, what does he have planned?" Mirabel thought to herself.
They leave ChewAndSwallow behind and head up into the storm, but the car started shaking thanks to to the G-Force outside.
Sam tightly held onto her radar, making sure it did not fall to the ground. Brent held himself up by holding onto the walls. Steve held onto the ladder while Mirabel had one hand on the seat and the other on Sam's shoulder.
What got Mirabel rolling was that Manny was reading a magazine, not affected by the shaking.
"Steve," Steve's voice vibrated.
Suddenly, they fly through a green type of fog.
"Pea-soup fog!" Sam called.
"Manny, hit the wipers," Flint stated.
But after a few seconds, the car was hit by a donut as Mirabel, Flint, and Sam cry out in shock while Manny went to get the wipers going.
Mirabel, Sam, and Flint yelp in shock as Mirabel saw Manny go to activate the wipes while an alarm started beeping, but it stopped after a few seconds.
"Flint, Mirabel, there's massive gastro-precipitation accumulated around the machine," Sam informed, showing them the radar. Flint and Mirabel look over to take a look while Brent leaned over the back seat to look.
The window wipers activated as Sam talked. Brent and Mirabel keep staring at the radar while Flint looked forward, causing his eyes to widen at what he saw.
"It's almost as if it's-"
"Inside a…giant meatball," Flint spoke up, cutting Sam off.
"What makes you say…" Mirabel trailed off, looking straight ahead as well and her eyes widen.
Sam looked up from her radar and her eyes widen as well, Brent's jaw dropped, Steve grabbed Mirabel's face in fear, and Manny looked up in shock.
"Dios mio," Mirabel slowly said in shock.
"Water goes in the top, a food hurricane comes out the bottom," Sam muttered.
"Glad I'm wearing a diaper," Brent muttered out loud.
Food was flowing out of certain holes of the meatball the closer they get, but as they get closer, they all gravitate toward each other in fear, they get so close that each cheek of Flint and Sam's faces were touching each side.
This caused Flint and Sam to exchange a small glance, a blush coming to both of their cheeks.
They drive past the bottom of the meatball, which was sending a bunch of food out. Flint nervously looked toward it, before they fly past.
Suddenly, Sam adjusted to the side mirror outside of the car.
"Anyone order pizza?" Sam asked just as the mirror was taken out by a pizza slice.
"Hold on!" Flint yelled, trying to maneuver the slices.
"The pizza's chasing us?!" Brent exclaimed, scared and confused.
"Sentient food? That's impossible!" Flint stated in disbelief.
"Unless its molecular structure's mutated into superfood!" Mirabel realized, causing Brent to look at her in confusion.
"That's been genetically engineered to protect the FLDSMDFR!" Flint and Sam say in unison.
"Um, guys?" Mirabel nervously called out.
Flint and Sam's faces fall as Flint asked, "What?"
Mirabel pointed to some pizza charging toward the car as Steve said, "Pizza!"
Flint, Sam, and Brent scream in response as Steve kept yelling, "Pizza!"
As the pizza hit the car, causing it to spin around, the USB flash drive came out of Flint's pocket.
Mirabel made a couple of noises while he tried to catch it, which he managed to do.
"That was close. I mean, can you imagine if we lost this kill code?" Flint smugly commented, but his face fell when he spotted Mirabel's blank stare. "What?"
"I'm pretty sure you jinked-"
Mirabel did not even get to finish her sentence when a piece of bread came crashing in through the window, shattering the glass, which also resulted in the USB being sucked out.
"Woah!" Flint yelped, looking back at the window, but when he looked back, his face dropped when he realized the USB was gone.
Flint stared at his hand in shock while Mirabel face-palmed, shaking her head. Sam and Brent stare at his hand in shock while Manny seemed emotionless.
"Uh-oh," Brent muttered.
"Don't worry, I got an idea," Flint quickly reassured, getting his phone out and dialing someone while trying to keep driving.
"Tim's Tackle Shop," Mirabel barely heard Tim say from the other side of the line.
"Dad, you're okay, great. Um, I need a favour. The fate of the world depends on it!" Flint pleaded.
"Um…um…all right," Tim accepted before he hung up.
Suddenly, a giant pizza slammed into the car, causing the car to spin out of control and rapidly head toward the meatball below.
This caused Flint to start screaming, trying to get control back. Brent hit the roof and floor over and over again. Manny looked up at Flint and asked, "Want me to drive?"
"Yeah, okay," Flint replied.
Flint and Sam climb over the seat into the back so Manny could get into the driver's seat. The ground got close enough that they think they are going to make it.
"Oh!" Brent exclaimed, all of them closing their eyes.
During that, Mirabel tightly hugged Sam and she did the same thing back, not knowing or not if this was their last moment together as Flint joined the hug.
But instead of hitting the ground, Mirabel could feel that the car was expertly being flown around.
Opening their eyes, they fly around different food and the pizza crashed into them since Manny maneuvered them. They fly through a bagel and the pizza slices catch fire when they hit.
Once they were sure they were out of danger, Flint, Sam, and Mirabel exchange a look, slowly letting go of each other.
"Wow, you girls are a lot better than me," Flint complimented.
"Thanks, I guess," Mirabel replied.
Just then, they get over the top of the meatball where the clouds were getting sucked in.
"Okay, here's the plan: Sam, Mirabel, and I will enter the meateroid through the intake here, which should lead us straight to the FLDSMDFR," Flint said as he showed where he, Sam, and Mirabel go on Sam's radar.
"Manny, you and Steve will stay on the plane."
Manny nodded at the plan just as Steve was about to spray the Spray-On Shoes into his mouth, but Mirabel took the can from him.
"Steve, don't spray that into your mouth," Mirabel stated, handing the can to Flint as Steve whined in disappointment.
"Once my dad emails me the kill code, we'll destroy the machine and rendezvous here at the western blowhole in-" Flint paused, turning to Sam. "How long until the world's destroyed?"
"About twenty to forty minutes," Sam answered.
"Just before then," Flint stated as he, Sam, and Mirabel look ahead with a determined look.
Brent wrapped an arm around Mirabel and Sam's shoulders and asked, "What about me, Brent? What do I do?"
Flint slightly narrowed his eyes, turning to look at Brent just as he let go of Sam and Mirabel's shoulders.
"Uh, you can be…the president of the back seat," Flint stated with a smile.
Brent's smile faded, looking down in disappointment as he muttered, "Oh."
Flint shrugged at them before pointing to the hatch above them.
"Deploy hatch. Car upside down, go!" Flint called, the car turning upside down.
Mirabel, Flint, and Sam land next to the hatch, staring at what was down below them.
"Ladies first?" Flint asked Sam and Mirabel.
Mirabel and Sam stare at Flint with narrowed eyes.
"No? Alright," Flint said.
With a deep breath, Flint dropped through the hatch and Mirabel and Sam follow behind him.
As they fall, Sam grabbed Flint's hand and interlocked her fingers with his, causing him to squeeze her hand back.
Sam grabbed Flint's lab coat with her free hand and said, "As long as we stay on course, it should be a straight shot to the-"
"Incoming Brent!" Mirabel exclaimed, cutting Sam off.
Brent slammed into them, which sent the four of them into a hole in the wall.
They scream as they fall down, darkness slowly consuming their surroundings.
Flint landed on the ground first, Sam landed on top of him, Mirabel landed on top of her, and Brent landed on top of them.
"We're a team!" Brent cheered, which caused Mirabel, Flint, and Sam to glare at him in the dark.
Looks like "The pizza is chasing us?!" just became my favorite line.
