00:00But before I could say anything, we were in a car off to the airport.
00:03I was furious. I wasn't going, no matter what.
00:06They were being ridiculous, but who could play at that game?
00:08We were already on the plane, and I knew I had to act fast.
00:11Oh no, there's a bomb on the plane! It's in their bags!
00:14Isabella, what are you doing?
00:16Hi, I'm Isabella, and I'm like Indiana. No, Isabella Jones.
00:20I've lived in almost 60 different countries, and my story is truly insane.
00:24But before I begin, please like and subscribe.
00:27I've got a weird family. We moved around a lot.
00:29And I mean a lot a lot.
00:31When I was four, my parents adopted my brother Patrick.
00:34It was so cool, but he was weird, just like Mom and Dad.
00:37Sometimes I thought he might be a robot because whenever I hugged him too tight,
00:41he'd make a beeping sound.
00:42I told you, he's weird.
00:43Even though my family seemed to get more and more strange every time we moved,
00:47Patrick loved moving around.
00:49Dad always said it was for his job, but I never saw him go to work.
00:53Whenever I asked, he'd just make some annoying excuse to leave.
00:56Sorry, I, uh, really have to fart. It's gonna be a bad one.
00:59Ew, Dad, gross.
01:00As if that wasn't strange enough, they changed their personalities with each new move.
01:05Everyone needs a fresh start every now and then.
01:07You know now and then doesn't mean every next week or month, right?
01:11Isabella, stop talking back to your mother and start pogo sticking with us.
01:14This is my favorite family personality yet.
01:16My mom homeschooled us, and it was great.
01:18But I kept dreaming of going to a real school and making friends.
01:22But anytime someone found out just how weird my parents were...
01:26Girls, come on in. Grab a candle.
01:28We're having a seance.
01:29Or when we encountered minor setbacks...
01:32Ugh, this guy messed up my grocery cart.
01:34We were pretty much guaranteed to move the next day.
01:36By the time I turned 13, watching MSA videos became my favorite pastime.
01:40I saw these characters my age going to high school.
01:43I felt like I was missing out on the most important part of being a teenager,
01:46socialization.
01:48I wanted to go to the mall for hours and blab on and on to my BFF about how cute Johnny was
01:53from the science labs.
01:54On my 15th birthday, I realized my window to lead a normal teenage high school life was closing.
02:00So I decided to convince my parents to settle down.
02:02I watched a lot of Shark Tank to prepare for my parental pitch.
02:06Then I sat my parents down.
02:08Hello, sharks.
02:09Uh, I mean, mom and dad.
02:10You know when you go on a roller coaster, but there are so many quick moves that
02:14you feel like you're gonna throw up?
02:16Well, that's kind of like my life right now.
02:19What if we just stayed put for a while?
02:21Maybe just while I finish high school?
02:23This was doing nothing.
02:24I had to bring in the big guns.
02:25My brother.
02:26Come on, Patrick.
02:27Help me out here.
02:28What do I get in return?
02:29Ugh, so annoying.
02:31Fine, anything.
02:32I want you to dress up as a gorilla and run through the mall screaming,
02:35I'm a stinky sister.
02:36Really, Patrick?
02:37You're 13.
02:38Surely you're a little more mature than that, right?
02:40But I was desperate.
02:41She's right.
02:42And I want to stay here too.
02:43We had no idea us always moving around affected you kids this much.
02:47All right, we'll stay.
02:48Are you sure?
02:49We've had no run-ins for years.
02:51Let's give it a shot.
02:52For the kids.
02:53I had no idea what they were talking about.
02:55It was pretty suspicious.
02:56But I let that thought go.
02:57Soon, Patrick and I enrolled in public school.
03:00Normalcy, here I come.
03:02On the first day of school, I was so excited.
03:04I went to wake Patrick up so we could go to school together.
03:07But he just went back to sleep.
03:09So I got there.
03:10And sure enough, it was locked.
03:12I guess 4 a.m. was a little too early, huh?
03:14But I was already dressed.
03:16And there was no way I was turning back.
03:17Luckily, I found an open window.
03:19And by that, I mean it was open after I broke it.
03:22I found my classroom and picked a desk right up front.
03:25So the teacher would know I was super serious.
03:27I could rest my head for a few minutes, right?
03:29But I fell asleep and woke up to this annoying girl poking me on the head.
03:33Hey, you're in my seat.
03:34No, this is my seat.
03:36I got here extra early.
03:37They're assigned.
03:38Is this your first day on planet Earth?
03:39Or what, weirdo?
03:41How dare she call me that?
03:42Doesn't she know?
03:43This is me being normal.
03:45I am not a weirdo.
03:47Yes, you are.
03:48What are you even wearing?
03:49You look like a troll booger.
03:50My mom made this for me.
03:52She took it way too far.
03:54She chucked my stuff around like a rag doll, then attacked me.
03:57I was so angry that I grabbed her hair.
03:59But it came off.
04:00She was wearing a wig.
04:02Everyone started laughing at her.
04:04Ugh, I'm gonna end you.
04:06I got a bit scared and did what smart people do in that situation.
04:10I bolted.
04:10But she started chasing me down the hall.
04:12Please move.
04:13Sorry.
04:14Coming through.
04:15I turned down the hallway and hit a dead end.
04:17Oh, no.
04:18My high school experience was about to come crashing down before I even had my first class.
04:22Just then, a strong hand grabbed me.
04:24Quickly, in here.
04:25And I was pulled into a janitor's closet with the most handsome kid I'd ever seen.
04:29He placed a tattooed hand on my shoulder.
04:32It was so cool.
04:32But I didn't even know high school kids could get tattoos.
04:35I guess he saw me staring.
04:36Like what you see?
04:37My dad gave me permission and we got matching ones.
04:40Anyway, are you okay?
04:41I felt like my face had frozen solid.
04:43My drool was now an icicle hanging from my lower lip.
04:46I just saw you take on Kelsey.
04:47That was brave.
04:48She's a total brat.
04:49We'll be safe here.
04:50I'm Daniel.
04:51I'm, uh, Isabella.
04:52It's my first date.
04:53I mean, day.
04:54It's really scary for a first day.
04:56Here's my number if you want a friend or...
04:58Was this what it felt like to fall deeply and madly in love with a boy
05:01after knowing him for less than five minutes?
05:03He leaned toward me.
05:04He didn't pull away.
05:05I was just about to close my eyes.
05:07But then, Patrick opened the closet door.
05:09Hey, this isn't algebra.
05:11Gross.
05:12My sister got a boyfriend in gross cooties.
05:15Patrick, stop embarrassing me.
05:17You have nothing to be embarrassed about.
05:18Hey, Patrick.
05:19Want to go play catch in the quad?
05:20Sure.
05:21I've always wanted to pass a ball around with a bro.
05:23Aww.
05:24Isn't it so sweet when a guy is nice to your siblings?
05:27That's my number one green flag.
05:28What are your green flags?
05:30Comment down below while I get back to the story.
05:32Daniel walked me to my classes the rest of the day to protect me from Kelsey.
05:36He was so perfect.
05:37From his completely poreless face to his luscious locks of hair that he just loved to play with.
05:42Even if they looked like a mop.
05:43But when he brushed it back, he looked regal.
05:46The next day, Daniel and I took things up a notch.
05:48Hey, I was wondering.
05:49Would you and Patrick like to come over for dinner tonight?
05:52What?
05:52Patrick too?
05:53Oh, yeah.
05:53I mean, you and your family.
05:55You want to meet my family?
05:57Why?
05:57I like you.
05:58Isn't that what people do?
05:59Yeah, but it seems kind of fast.
06:01We haven't even had dinner yet.
06:03Just the two of us.
06:04So is that a no?
06:05But just then, I was called into the principal's office.
06:07What am I gonna do?
06:08I have to leave.
06:09But I wanted to take that next step with Daniel.
06:11But also, my parents are so weird.
06:13Uh, quick is?
06:15It's a yes.
06:15See you tonight at 7.
06:16Text me your address.
06:17I ran down to Principal Weatherbottom's office.
06:20But when I entered, I saw that Mom was already there.
06:22I heard that you ripped a girl's wig off yesterday.
06:24Isabella?
06:25Is this true?
06:26I, uh...
06:27That is unacceptable.
06:29You're suspended.
06:29What?
06:30Hold up.
06:30At least let her explain.
06:32Don't need to.
06:33I know a rotten family when I see one.
06:35Excuse me?
06:36I am super gluing my butt to the seat until you take that back.
06:39But before I could even stop her, Mom had whipped out the glue gun.
06:43Ugh, I forgot my mom's new personality.
06:45Is intense arts and crafts lady.
06:48Mom, stop.
06:49I needed her to stop making things more difficult for me.
06:52So I pulled her out of the room as fast as I could.
06:54You're not helping at all.
06:55Let's just go home.
06:56Actually, first, let's get this chair off of you.
06:59But it was really stuck to her.
07:01Patrick and I ended up attaching wheels to the bottom and riding that home instead of Mom's car.
07:05And then we all spent the rest of the afternoon detaching it from her butt.
07:09Great.
07:09Now I don't even have time to make dinner.
07:11And that's when I remembered.
07:12You know, my new friend Daniel actually invited us all over for dinner tonight.
07:16But you're probably busy crafting a spaceship or whatever your thing is this week.
07:20Did someone say free dinner?
07:22Did I forget to mention to you guys that my dad's new personality is a professional cheapskate?
07:27Our family went to Daniel's a little later.
07:29As he opened the door, dread washed over me because Daniel's mom was the principal.
07:34Welcome you.
07:35Mom threw the flower she bought right in her face and stormed off.
07:39I'm sorry, Daniel and Principal Weatherbutt, I mean Bottom.
07:42But I think dinner may have to wait.
07:44We ran after my mom until we got home.
07:46Mom, calm down.
07:48You're being ridiculous.
07:49That's it, Isabella.
07:50We must leave.
07:51What?
07:51This wasn't fair.
07:52I had fought so hard just to stay at a place longer than two weeks.
07:56This time was supposed to be different.
07:58We need to be careful of people who call us rotten.
08:00I'm sorry.
08:01But one day you'll understand.
08:02We're moving and that's that.
08:04But before I could say anything, we were in a car off to the airport.
08:07I was furious.
08:08I wasn't going no matter what.
08:10They were being ridiculous.
08:11But who could play at that game?
08:12We were already on the plane and I knew I had to act fast.
08:15Oh no, there's a bomb on the plane.
08:17It's in their bags.
08:18Isabella, what are you doing?
08:20This is serious.
08:21But I didn't care.
08:22I left the three of them there and ran off the plane.
08:24I knew mom and dad would be fine after the police found out the truth.
08:27I got back home and called Daniel to apologize about dinner.
08:30But he wouldn't answer.
08:31Was he also mad at me?
08:33And what's worse, when my parents or Patrick didn't come back after 24 hours,
08:36I started to feel really, really guilty.
08:39Were they okay?
08:40Tears welled up in my eyes.
08:41What if my family never came back?
08:43What if they were locked away forever and it was all my fault?
08:46I was so worried.
08:47So I called Daniel again, but he didn't answer.
08:50I texted him my address and asked him to come over.
08:52Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door.
08:54Hello?
08:55I opened the door and two giant men tackled me to the ground.
08:58Gotcha!
08:58Let go of me!
08:59Yes, boss.
09:00We've got her too.
09:01Hi-ya!
09:03Mom!
09:03Dad!
09:04They burst in through the door and kicked the two burly men straight in the face,
09:08knocking them out instantly and tying them up.
09:10What? How?
09:11We took self-defense classes.
09:12Remember all those Jackie Chan movies I used to watch?
09:15Yeah, how could I forget?
09:16I wore pillows for shoes all that week,
09:18and she kept breaking vases when she was practicing her karate moves.
09:21Are you okay?
09:22Mom, Dad, I'm so sorry about the plane.
09:24And who are these guys?
09:26We should have been honest with you.
09:27Honest? About what?
09:28And that's when my mom told me everything.
09:31When you were little, Dad and I were key witnesses to a trial
09:34that led to the arrest of a notorious biotech engineer known as The Dragon.
09:38He was doing unethical experiments on babies and children.
09:41The FBI found him with a child,
09:43and since no one claimed the child after the trial, we decided to adopt him.
09:46Patrick!
09:47Yes, but since then, some men have been chasing us,
09:50so we moved and changed personalities to help keep us safe.
09:53We never told you to protect you.
09:54The less you know, the better.
09:56My heart was filled with shame that I judged them so harshly.
09:59Wait, where's Patrick?
10:00You mean he's not with you?
10:02No, he ran after you off the plane.
10:03We thought he had come home.
10:05We rushed to the police station to report the incident,
10:07but when we got there, we were surprised to hear that a detective was already on the case.
10:11Apparently, someone had witnessed him being kidnapped.
10:13They even showed us the CCTV footage of Patrick being chased and taken by someone in a van.
10:18There was something familiar about the guy driving, but I couldn't place it.
10:22I felt like this was all my fault, but surely there was something I could do to fix this.
10:26I could put Patrick's face on a milk carton, but that would take weeks of coordination.
10:29Maybe I should just tattoo a picture of Patrick to my face as punishment.
10:32Wait a second.
10:33That's it!
10:34That guy in the van!
10:35He had the same tattoo on his hand as...
10:37Daniel?
10:38No.
10:38Daniel was too nice to have anything to do with this,
10:40and anyone could have a weird tattoo on their hand.
10:42But it was about Patrick.
10:44I had to tell the cops.
10:45So, they said they'd meet us at Daniel's,
10:47but when we got there, the police were sure taking their sweet time.
10:50I can't wait any longer.
10:52My baby may be in there!
10:53Mom!
10:54Wait!
10:54I ran after her to stop her,
10:56but before I could, she burst through the surprisingly unlocked front door.
10:59Inside, Daniel and the principal, along with masked muscular men, stood next to Patrick.
11:04Mom!
11:05Look at the goon!
11:06Daniel!
11:06Let him go!
11:07This is for putting my dad in jail.
11:09Am I hearing this correctly?
11:10Daniel's dad is the dragon?
11:13And for escaping my men when I sent them after you.
11:15We had it all mapped out.
11:17School was the start, then dinner.
11:19But your mom had to ruin it all the time.
11:21So, we came up with a new plan.
11:22And that's how we got Patrick.
11:24And that's how those two goons were at your house.
11:26You?
11:27I trusted you!
11:28You're gonna pay for this!
11:29And you, Miss Weatherbutt!
11:31You're a horrible principal!
11:33I'm not the principal, you idiot!
11:35And this isn't really Daniel.
11:36We kidnapped them, then used their faces by making realistic masks of them to steal their identities.
11:42How is that even possible?
11:44See?
11:44My dad was a genius.
11:46He even made this voice-changing device.
11:47If he hadn't been put away, imagine what he could have done for the world.
11:51No wonder people at school didn't suspect anything.
11:53Mom tackled her mortal enemy, and I reached out and ripped off Faye Daniel's mask.
11:58Yuck!
11:58Such a sinister face underneath it!
12:01He went for me, but I used my mad bite skills to good use.
12:04And just then, the police barged into the room and tackled them all to the floor.
12:08Behind them, Dad entered triumphantly.
12:11Cops got here just in time.
12:12Glad my girls held them off.
12:14The fake criminals were taken away in handcuffs.
12:16It turned out that Dragon's wife and son had been tracking us all these years through Patrick,
12:21as Dragon microchipped him before getting caught.
12:24But we moved so much that as soon as they were there, we were gone.
12:27Until this time.
12:28Relieved, we ran over to Patrick.
12:30Whoa, that was intense.
12:32But you know, you could have just breathed on him.
12:34One whiff of your morning breath, and they'd surrender immediately.
12:38Ugh, still annoying as ever.
12:39Well, that beeping noise now makes sense.
12:42I pulled my family in for the biggest bear hug ever.
12:44I'm so sorry for everything I put you through.
12:47I want to stay in one place, but only if that means we can all be together.
12:50That's what matters most.
12:52You know, Isabella, now that those two are locked away, I guess we don't have to hide anymore.
12:56That's right.
12:57We can stay here as long as we want.
12:59Staycation.
13:00Seriously?
13:01OMG, thank you, thank you, thank you.
13:02I'll never call you weird ever again.
13:04Wait, you were calling us weird?
13:06Kidding.
13:07We love you.
13:08And that's the story of how everything got back to normal.
13:10Well, at least after Patrick got his microchip surgically removed.
13:14Then everything was finally normal.
