(Vulture) Behold my newest creation, Dodo!

Vulture World!

Amazing, boss!

Wowee, incredible, terrific!

Um, what is it?

A theme park.

Designed by me, built by me,

dedicated to me.

It looks really, really small.

Is it just for little junior cadets?

Dodo, you dodo!

This is just a scale model.

The real one will be on the dwarf planet Pluto.

No one cares about Pluto.

It's been demoted.

It's not even a planet anymore.

But I am going to bring it back!

I shall warm it up!

Make it look wonderful!

And when I'm done,

millions of rockets

will flock there every year

to visit my magnificent theme park!

Theme park? I love theme parks!

Will it have rides?

Of course, it will have rides.

And fuel stands.

A thousand flavors of fuel!

Vulture World TV shows.

Vulture World souvenirs!

Soft, snuggly, stuffed Mr. Vultures?

Yes, soft, snuggly,

stuffed Mr.--

what am I saying?!

Since the teachers are away on retreat,

I thought I'd give the cadets something to do.

Whoa, check it out.

I have a mission for you.

Only the strongest and fastest need apply.

Strongest? That would be me.

Fastest? That would be me.

Ahem, I think he meant me.

No, he meant me.

Me. Me.

Me. Me.

Actually, this is about me.

We are going to terraform Pluto

to prepare it for my new theme park.

Vulture World!

Whoa, a theme park? Cool!

Um, what does "terraform" mean?

(AVA) Terraforming.

To transform another planet

in order to make it more like Earth

using things like heat,

water, oxygen, and dirt.

I've read all about that.

Taking Pluto, which is just a ball of ice,

and turning it into a mini-Earth.

That would be so awesome!

Hmm, we've never terraformed anything before.

You gotta be careful when you mess around

with another planet.

Which is why I expect you to be careful.

Careful to make Pluto the perfect location

for Vulture World!

So, do I have any volunteers?

Well, if you guys are going, I'd better come along.

To keep you out of trouble.

Wish I could go, too.

But before the teachers went away,

they put me in charge of monitoring communications.

Too bad, Crow, we'll miss you.

Well, don't forget to keep me posted.

I wanna hear all about everything you do.

You got it!

Booster rockets!

(all) Engaged!

Wings! (all) Back!

Space visors? (all) Down!

Blast-off!

This is gonna be great.

I love roller coasters.

I can't believe you guys.

This is Vulture building it, remember?

Oh, come on, Robin.

Even Vulture can have a good idea sometimes.

Yeah, I can't wait to play "Whack-an-Asteroid."

And I wanna taste every one of those

thousand flavors of fuel.

(sighing) Okay.

I got to admit,

I really like theme park rides, too.

Maybe it'll be a good idea after all.

Huh, okay,

time to terraform.

So, what do we do first?

We need to smooth out the planet's surface

around here, then we can start

adding oxygen and dirt,

so we can pave over to create the theme park site.

Okay-- oh, boy.

It's chilly out here.

That's 'cause we're really far from the sun.

(AVA) Robin is correct.

Pluto is approximately

. billion miles from the sun.

Oh, no wonder it's so cold.

Too cold for a theme park.

Let's deploy our artificial suns.

They'll generate heat and light, just like the real sun.

That'll help. Yeah.

And let's release the oxygen, too.

Without an atmosphere, the heat won't stay on Pluto.

That's much better.

Okay, now it's time to start spreading some dirt.

Wait! (all) Huh?

Why? What you looking at, Robin?

The spectrometer says...

HO, two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

But HO is water.

Water? That puddle wasn't there before.

There weren't three new suns in the sky before, either.

They've started melting Pluto's ice.

But the ice on Pluto isn't water ice.

Isn't it made of other stuff?

Frozen nitrogen, methane, carbon monoxide?

Eagle, the spectrometer analyzes all sorts of objects

and tells us exactly

what they're made of, remember?

HO.

Two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

(all) Water.

You know what this means, right?

Rule number one.

The most important rule of space exploration,

first, do no harm.

(sighing) If there's any chance

of life developing on a planet,

we have to leave it alone.

But Pluto isn't a planet, not anymore.

it was too small, so it was demoted, remember?

Now it's just a dwarf planet.

I don't think that matters.

We're talking about water.

Which means we're talking about potential new life.

And that means wings off.

Hold it... yeah, we found a little water.

But maybe it's the only water on all of Pluto.

In fact, maybe one of us

accidentally brought it from Earth.

Well, I did wash up a few weeks ago.

You see? Maybe Hawk brought it.

I mean, what would water be doing all the way out here?

Ava, could Pluto have water?

Affirmative-- previous observations

confirm that there may be water ice on Pluto.

It must have melted

when you set up the artificial suns.

So, now what? We leave.

I think we should ask Headmaster Crane what to do.

After all, we only found a little puddle.

Pluto to Earth, Pluto to Earth.

Come in, Stardust Bay.

Earth to Pluto.

Hey, guys, how're you doing?

Uh, not so well.

We found water.

Just a teensy-weensy bit of water.

Are you sure?

Because, if there's water--

There's water, we've confirmed it.

Uh-oh, rule number one, huh?

That's right. It's just a little puddle.

So, we wanted to talk to Headmaster Crane about it.

Gee, he and the other teachers

aren't back from the retreat yet.

I think you'd better come back and wait for them to--

Talk to whom? Who is that?

It's Pluto, sir, but--

Hello out there on Pluto!

How's everything going?

Sir, I just advised them

to come home and talk to Headmaster Crane.

No need, they can talk to me.

I'm the chairman of the schoolboard.

So, how are things coming along?

Do you know rule number one?

Of course-- so?

It turns out there's water on Pluto,

which means there's a possibility of life,

which means we can't continue to terraform.

What?!

You're going to squash

my beautiful theme park

because of a little water?

You know the rule, Mr. Vulture.

I've already had a logo designed.

Engineers are working on all the rides,

and now a little water

is going to make my dream impossible?

Maybe you can build the theme park somewhere else.

There is nowhere else.

I've applied for building permits

everywhere else,

and I was turned down.

This was my last chance in the solar system

to build Vulture World!

(sobbing)

It's okay, boss, we'll think of something.

It's all right, it'll be okay.

Too bad about the theme park.

Yeah, we'll leave our supplies here

just in case we come back sometime, over and out.

(sobbing) Don't feel bad, boss.

You know, this reminds me of our first trip to Mars,

when we were in kindergarten, remember?

There was evidence of water,

and you were so careful,

'cause you wanted life to develop on Mars

so you could build a special playground

just for little Martians.

I was only a child.

But Headmaster Emu was so proud of you

for not messing around on Mars.

He gave you a gold star.

My... only gold star.

(sobbing)

You know...

Headmaster Emu said something else

that I've never forgotten.

Oh, what, like,

stop being mean to all the other kids?

Not that!

He also said,

if you have a dream rapacious,

don't give up!

And I am not giving up on this dream.

Some rules are meant to be broken!

Come, Dodo, we have some terraforming to do!

Uh-oh...

Dodo, turn those suns back on.

And be careful with that model.

Aye-aye, boss.

My beautiful Vulture World.

I can see you now.

(rumbling)

Oh, Dodo? Yes, boss?

We're supposed to be terraforming Pluto,

not me!

Uh, right, I'll just dust you off.

Oh, what's this?

What's what?

Well, boss, you--

you kind of sprouted.

What in blazing blue comets

are you talking about?

Right up there, on your head.

What is that?

D'ah! A flower? Get it off me!

Warning, the flower is a life form.

According to rule number one,

if there's any chance of life developing on a planet,

you must leave it alone.

What are you talking about?

It's growing on me.

This does not matter.

The flower is growing on you,

and you are both on Pluto.

We are not permitted to harm it.

So, you must allow it to grow.

Aah!

So, I'm afraid you cadets will have to do

without your theme park.

That's okay, we understand.

I'm not sure Vulture does, though.

I still think you look beautiful, boss.
