**Lif (episode)**

## Lif

**Lif** is the second episode of Season 2 of the series "Metal Family"

## Plot

Dee tries to ask out his crush but his plans are unintentionally ruined by Heavy.

## Summary

The episode starts with Dee rehearsing what he will say to the girl he has a crush on and checks on the school's cameras, with one of his classmates reporting everything that is going on inside (due to being blackmailed by Dee) as Dee hides behind the bushes in front of the building, waiting for Lif to come out while his reluctant helper waits by the door. After awhile, Lif comes out last but when she realizes she forgot her scrapbook she angrily walks back inside to retrieve it from her teacher.

After recovering her book and insulting the teacher, Lif walks out and Dee's classmate, as part of his plan, runs out and slaps Lif’s books as he runs pasts her with Dee walking "casually" by the other side of the street. Lif flips off the boy and curses at him before she picks up her stuff with Dee ready to help her and speak to her for the first time but as he is about to grab her scrapbook, Heavy suddently appears and gives it back to her while agreeing that the boy who "bullied" her is a jerk and they tries to encourage Dee to go with him and beat him up, unaware that it was part of Dee's plan all along, much to Dee's chagrin. Dee asks his brother about why isn't he at detention and Heavy claims that he was set up so he sneaked out (which was apparently also part of Dee's operative to get him out of the way so he could speak to Lif alone) and offers to tell him everything on the way home as he happily walks away with Dee reluctantly following his brother until Lif recognizes Dee's voice since he sent her a voicemail, Dee quickly becomes nervious and checks his list of things he was going to say to her and when she shows him his username he panicks and shows her the list, which she thankfully doesn't read but just tells him to say yes. Lif then says they should all go home and amusedly asks him if he knows were she lives, to which Dee cries "YES" but takes it back and tries to play cool but Heavy sees through Dee's façade and realizes that he is being shy because of her despite Dee telling him to shut up. Lif tells the brothers were she lives and Lif and Heavy formally introduce themselves and since the have to walk the same path to go home the three walk together, with Dee glaring at Heavy the whole time.

As they walk home, Heavy tells Lif about their life and joking about the corpses in the graveyard turning into zombies coming out to attack people. Lif has a good time, happily following along with Heavy's make believe story about him and Dee fighting off zombies but Dee keeps quiet, cursing at Heavy quietly. Once they reach Lif’s house she thanks them for scorting her home tells them she had a good time but notices Dee being angry and asks what's wrong and Heavy mistakely deduces that he is angry that they will be home late for escorting her but Dee denies it and when Heavy asks if she ruined his plans Dee finally loses his patience and chokes Heavy until an uncomfortable Lif says she is going home so Dee regains his composture and tries to ask Lif out to a concert. Lif is very happy and looks like she is about to say yes when Heavy innocently asks how is she going to accompany them when Dee only bought two tickets and the episode ends just as Dee loses his temper again and is ready to yell at Heavy.
