Narrator on tv: the galaxies of the universe extend beyond our imaginations.

For centuries man has been fascinated with the stars,

Gleaning meaning from their movement and formation...

Of course, today, man is consumed by the question:

Is there life on any other planet?

Sharon: connor, you gotta come check out this documentary.

Connor: hey!

Sharon: I think blinding your opponent is cheating.

He can still see the board!

Uh... Not exactly.

Sharon: believe me alyson he can't see anything

Without his glasses on.

Alyson: I just wanted to clean them.

Sharon: connor, you have to check out this documentary.

It's all about ufo sightings.

Remember when we were so into that?

Yeah, a million light years ago.

Uh, alyson, I think we're even now.

Your move.

Brock: will someone put the game on?

No one wants to watch this boring space-nerd thing.

I do!

Brock: excellent! Thanks sophie!

Sophie: no problem.

See?

No.

What do you mean no?

She definitely has a thing for me.

Why else would she help me out?

Because she's a polite, decent person

And the remote was two inches from her fingertips.

Nah, I'm just a chick magnet.

Girls are always helping me out like that.

So, if I wasn't your latest and only girlfriend to date-

Hotties would be swarming all over you?

Well, if you put it that way, most likely, yes.

You have to admit maria, I am a man of many talents.

Right.

Hey, where you going?

Given all your experience with girls,

You should know.

Have you ever met anyone as conceited as brock?

In his opinion every girl out there

Is dying to go out with him.

Just because he's so amazing.

You know he's just trying to make you jealous

So you'll appreciate him more.

I know.

But he still deserves to be brought down a notch or two.

Is that even possible?

Oh, sophie, can I talk to you for a minute?

Sure.

Watch what I can get

For the price of three babysitting gigs.

Brock: can't you see that was a fumble?

I could ref this game better then you.

Sophie: hey cutie.

You talking to me?

Sophie: here. I thought you looked a little thirsty.

Uh, thanks.

I noticed you really like smoothies.

Love 'em.

Me too!

Maybe you can help me out with a big science experiment

I'm doing for school.

Okay. Sure.

Uh, what's it have to do with smoothies?

Oh, it's an experiment on volume

And the human capacity to retain liquids

Of different consistencies.

Right now I'm researching medium thickness.

Sounds very interesting.

Sophie: so, would you be willing to drink

Seventeen smoothies in a row?

Brock: (coughing) excuse me?

Sophie: my boyfriend did sixteen

But I bet a tough guy like you could handle at least one more.

Maria: you should do it brock.

I should?

What's with you?

Nothing.

Remember you're a man of many talents.

Okay. Why not?

I'm just watching the game here.

Great. This should be enough to cover it.

Best money I ever spent.

Brock: can I have seventeen banana smoothies please?

I'm super thirsty.

About to be super-sick.

(Burp)

Alden: go man, you can do it!

(Cheering)

There you go, sophie.

No problemo.

(Burp) excuse me.

I beat your boyfriend's record...

Sophie: let me just check my notes on him again.

Brock: I drank 17...

(Brocks stomach rumbling) 17 for sure.

Uh no. I made a mistake.

He actually drank 26 in a row.

Maria: let him out! Clear the way!

(Laughing)

Sharon: I don't think you have to worry about brock

Acting like such a hot shot anymore.

I couldn't believe it.

Connor and alyson missed maria's entire practical joke.

They were in their own little world.

Alden: I had to tell him! It was too good not to.

Brock: you got me wong!

But you just wait!

The brockmeister won't let you get away with this one!

(Laughter)

Sharon: the thing was -

Everybody seemed to be in their own little world suddenly.

But where did that leave me?

What world did I belong in?

Sharon: so, after seeing that space documentary

I called the astronomy hotline

And this teenage guy answered.

He was so interesting.

I think he was from ecuador.

Anyway I sort of suggested we start emailing each other.

Do you think that was too forward?

I don't want to look desperate or anything.

Connor: sharon, I can't really talk now.

I've got a fencing practice with alyson.

Fencing?

Yeah. We found out we both always wanted to learn it.

The school has a club.

Mr. Ecuador told me that in a few nights

We'll be able to see mercury, venus, mars, jupiter and saturn

All at once.

Oh yeah?

By the way, could you put the sprinkler on in my back yard?

Uh, sure.

Alyson: connor! You're late!

We're learning our first offensive move!

Oh, hi sharon.

Hi...

So you guys are doing the musketeer thing, huh.

Connor: I'll be one minute!

Alden: ahhhh!

Marlo? I know you did this!

Where are you?

Sharon: I don't get it.

I mean, I like alyson and everything,

But he spends every single minute with her.

Maria: so, shouldn't you be happy that connor's happy?

Anyone home?!

I am happy for him.

It's just... I don't know.

She can't be everything for him, can she?

Hey...

What's going on?

Somebody's robbed your bedroom!

My new runners!

That's all you're worried about?

That brat!

I can't believe this!

My sister must have let him in!

Where'd he put everything?

Brock's voice: hi maria!

I thought you could use some help

Tidying up that mess in your room.

By the way, the view from your roof top patio is awesome.

Maria: the roof?!

He said he'd get you back!

Maria: I can't believe this!

Sharon: it wasn't fair.

All my friends were having such a good time.

What was I doing for fun?

Calling the astronomy hotline.

Maria: and then what was supposed to happen?

Sharon: I was going to pull it back like this...

And she'd look ridiculous as she tried to grab for it.

Ahhh!

Hmmm.

Watch this...

Alden: hello?

(Sharon fakes english accent) is this mr. Alden jones?

Yes.

Well today is your lucky day...

You have just won

An all-expenses paid trip to britain!

You can pick up your ticket at...

(Interrupting) sharon?

What are you doing? (Laugh)

Admit it! You are terrible at this!

Sharon: it was true!

Could there be a bigger loser out there?

I'm allergic to grass.

I think you look cute.

Connor: and I sort of have a thing about bugs.

Thank you connor, thank you!

Alyson: what are we all supposed to be watching?

Cause I'd really like to get changed.

Sharon: you'll see.

This is going to crack you up!

(Connor screams)

Get it away from me!

(Laughter)

Alyson: connor! Are you okay? What happened?

There's a k*ller bug in the shower!

Alden, go in there and check it out.

I think I might have even stepped on it!

Alden: is this it?

(Scream)

(Laughing)

Sharon: that was a good one, huh connor?

Thanks for helping me out, there.

I'm going to get changed.

I thought you were his friend.

I am! It was just a joke!

Right.

I've known connor my whole life, alyson.

He can take a joke.

Sharon: I can't believe he went so nuts over it.

Maria: every time I think of the expression on his face,

I crack up!

(Laughter)

Hey connor! Come over here!

We want your play by play account.

What did you think when you first saw the thing?

Connor: sharon, can I speak with you for a moment?

Sharon: sure.

I've never been so humiliated in all my life.

What are you talking about?

Everyone's been pranking on everyone else.

You can do one on me now.

I wouldn't lower myself to your level.

Connor!

I can't believe you.

Don't you think you're over-reacting?

No!

It's not like I meant to hurt your feelings or anything.

Oh yeah?

So what do you call it when your supposed best friend

Makes you look like a complete idiot?

Brock: better watch out spitz!

Mackenzie looks like he means business.

Yeah, where can I hide out?

I'd let you stay with me

But half my room is still on the roof!

(Laughter)

Sharon: the truth was I'd never seen connor so mad at me

In my whole life.

Had I really gone too far?

Adam: you and connor aren't going to play phone tag

With aliens again, are you?

What do you mean, tag?

We never even made contact!

I can't believe we thought this thing would actually work.

It's half made out of toilet paper rolls!

What about when you both thought you might be aliens

But didn't know it?

That was connor's idea.

And probably true.

Where-have-you-taken- the-real-sharon?

Ewww... Breath check!

(Adam laughs)

Sharon: from where I was sitting now--

I really did feel like connor and I were aliens.

To each other.

Hey, connor. How you doing?

Listen, I'm really sorry about the c*ck thing.

Can we move on?

I don't really have the energy

To talk about this right now sharon.

Uh, those are baby wipes connor.

I'm avoiding showers for a while.

You never know what you might find there.

Sharon: it was obvious connor wasn't going to let me off the hook

That easily.

I didn't want to admit it,

But maybe the only way to get to him now

Would be through alyson.

You know, alyson,

I just want us all to be friends.

I mean, connor and I have been hanging out since forever.

Alyson: I know about all your bonding times together.

Connor talks about them all the time.

Really?

Um hm.

I even know about that time you wet your sleeping bag

On some camp out in connor's backyard...

You know about that?

How do you know about that?

Connor told me.

He did not!

He gave me a solemn oath he'd never breathe a word.

Sharon, I know this is hard for you to accept

But I'm connor's girlfriend.

He tells me everything.

Here is that cd alyson borrowed the other day.

What are you now, her errand boy?

And here's anything else I've borrowed of yours.

Wait a minute.

Aren't you even going to apologize

For what you did to me?

You swore you'd never tell a soul

About what happened at that camp out.

Huh, what are you talking about?

The accident.

That? How juvenile can you get?

Nobody cares that you wet your sleeping bag seven years ago.

So why'd you tell alyson then, if she wouldn't care?

It was just a good story.

Yeah. And the bug thing was just a good prank!

How can you even compare the two?!

I was naked out there, sharon.

In front of everybody.

Okay, that part was bad.

But I couldn't control your towel falling off, could i?

Don't you get it?

It's not just the prank that's making me mad.

It's why you did it in the first place.

What are you talking about?

We've gone over this.

No we haven't!

Not really.

The bottom line is you can't handle me having a girlfriend.

Isn't that true?

Oh please, I couldn't care less if you have girlfriend.

But does that mean you have to ignore me?

I haven't been ignoring you.

Right.

Just admit it, connor.

Now you have alyson you don't need me as a friend anymore.

Not the way you need me as one. No.

Maybe not.

(Bell rings)

Alyson: why won't you tell me what's wrong?

I'd totally understand.

Connor: it's nothing.

I'm just thinking about what's going to happen tonight.

Saturn, mars, venus, mercury and jupiter

Will all be visible to the naked eye.

This sort of thing only happens like once ever fifty years.

Cool.

I brought out my old telescope

So we can get a better look at the planets up close.

Uh huh.

Did you hear what teversham said as practice today

About maybe enrolling in ballet lessons

So we can fence more gracefully?

Don't you think that's a great idea?

No!

Sharon: this is the astronomy hotline, right?

No, I don't remember his name.

But I think he said he was originally from ecuador.

Oh, okay, thanks.

I better I go.

I want to catch them when they first appear.

Sharon: I guess not everything was meant to last forever.

I mean, look at the universe--

Everything was always shifting and re-arranging,

Appearing and disappearing.

Why should my friendship with connor be any different?

(Gasp)

Ahhhh!

Aliens!

Who's out there?

Connor: don't worry. I come in peace.

(Laughing) did you ever get me!

How did you get that thing to work?

I'm a space nerd and a science nerd remember?

I rigged a bunch of light activated magnets

To the edge of the roof

And when I shone my flashlight on them

They magnetized the prongs on the fork,

Which then in turn...

Stop. Remember? I'm not a science nerd.

Did you really think there were aliens out there?

Why not? Anything's possible.

You're right. It is.

Look, there's the dragon and the great bear.

And cassiopeia.

And the little dipper.

Of course.

And look--just above orion, the twins...

Can you see them?

Where?

See?

Holding hands.
