HELEN:
Knock it off.

Stopessi with the TV

Today's words have to do

with things at a
mystio and peculiar.

Listen for them all,

and we'll see you
at the end of the show.

TD:
Hey!

Where'd that bird go?

Hey! Da dog.

I did a whole pack of dogs.

And an ostrich a a crab...

(sighs)

It's official.

Now what do we do?

I don't know.

We ate all the s'mores.

If we play Go Fish

I'gointo be seasick.

Skits has already
gone to sleep.

But m not tired yet.

I know!

We can make up
science fiction stories!

Great.

"I had this hypothesis,

"and my experiment
pred I wasorre.

The end."

Yawn.

Well, it might
help make us sleepy.

No, science fiction
stories aren't
about science.

I mean, they are, sort of.

But mostly they're made-up
stories that take place

in space or the future.

A lot of times they have aliens
or space ships.

Aliens?

We might give
ourselves nightmares.

Cool!
Cool!

We'll see who can tell the
best science fiction story.

I've got one.

Martha? You do?

Yeah, it's a mystery

full of really strange
and mysterious things.

Great.

I'getting in
my sleing ba

just in case
it getscary.

Okay.

My story starts with TD.

Lemonade!
Geyouremonade!

VOICE:
I'll take one.

Whoa.

(glugging)

AhWow!

Soun great!

You aren't from

Uh... no.

We're here to data

Data is information,

(camera icks)

Hey, these are
Martin and Sylvia.

t Venus.

Okay if they look around?

They're gathering data.

Something weird
is going on here.

There's sothing peculiar
about those two aliens.

I get the feeling they aren't
just gathering data.

think they're moving in!

(all gasp)

What did I tell you?

Look, they're already
planting a garden!

Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt
to ask what they're doing.

u go ahead.

They're your friends, TD.

I'm not going to do it.

Maha, you go.

(sighs)

Why is it always
up to the dog?

, hi, um...

we wante ask you, .

You aren't, by any chance,
invading our planet, are you?

Holy hamburgers!
(whirring)

Okay, listen.

Let's discuss this,
shall we?

(Skits barking)

Skits!

Now the tables have turned.

The hunted becomes the hunter.

I'm warning u:
this dog is mean.

Skits is meaand he's...

Uh... okay,

he's just putting onn act now

to fool you-- ha-ha!--

but you watch.

He's going to...

(barking)

He's going to dig bone...

(hesity): to givyou.

Grt.

, well, you
mit as wel

turn us into alien
or wtever.

Sorrabout th, guys

(aliens screaming)

Huh. What was that about?

ALIEN:
We've concluded

that we can't inv*de,
your highness.

Those Earth people
are scary.

We just witnessed the meanest
thing we've ever seen.

You would nevebe safe
there, your highness.

We must leave!
Quickly!

TD:
Now that was science fiction!

I give ifour stars.

That wasn't too scary.

Okay, who's next?

I have a story.

Martha's alien plant
gave me the idea.

The story starts
with TD in space.

I'm in space!

(stomach grumbles)
HELEN:
Suddenly he gets hungry.

's when he spots..

A farmer's market on the moon.

At the moon farmer's market,

there are these really
delicious grapes.

Wow!

That's amazing!

Do you have some seeds
so I could grow my own?

(Helen's voice):
Take all the grapes
you like

HELEN:
...said e space farmer.

But not the seeds.

If you plant moon grape seeds
on Earth,

something unpredictable
might happen.

Unpredictable?

If I drop this banana peel,

you know what's
going to happen.

It falls.

That's predictable.

But...

These moon seeds a
and peculiar.

They are different
from normal seeds.

If you try to plant them
on Earth,

no onean guess
whight happen.

It's unpredictable.

(spits)

(thinking):
These grapes are so delicious!

HELEN:
...thought TD.

TD:
What could it hurt if I just
took one seed?

HELEN:
d that's just what he did.

Bye!

Whoa!

Well, that was predictable.

HELEN:
As soon as he got home,

TD planted the mysterious seed
in his backyard.

The farmer said what would
happen was unpredictable.

"Unpredictable" means u don't
know what ll happen.

You can't even make
a good guess.

Itld be bad or good.

But it might even be great!

(crickets chirping)

HELEN:
That night, TD went to sleep.

Then somhing peculiar
hpened.

TD thoug he heard sothing.

But the moon vine
was very tricky.

The mysterious vine
snooped around.

The vine was having
a good time until...

TD:
Hey!

Ever tnk of asking?

HEN:
TDasn't at upset, thgh.

In fact, it gave him
an idea.

TD got the vine to do
all his chores for him.

TD:
When you'rdoneusting,

make suryou do
my math homework.

HELEN:
Everytng w goi gre.

But the was e thin
Thadn'tredicted.

And don'forget
to c therass.

And trim the hedges.

Anwhile you're at it,
pullhe wds.

An.. Wt?

Hey!

HELEN:
The vine told TD...

(Helen's voice):
You can't eat
plants like that!

Yohaveo be nice
plas.

Yohaveo give them
sunshine and water, too.

Oh.

But. I didn'water you.

Uh-oh!

HELEN:
And wi tt,
the vine withered.

I gus it pays
to be lazy...

(laughs)

Sometimes.

Whoa. I was really worried
about for a secon

I've beewoied about
u nger thathat.

Well, worry no more.

I have a science
fiction story.

Great!

It starts with Martha.

TD
One day Martha was
sitting in her yard,

when she got an invitation.

We're going to visit

our new neighbors,
the Fenes.

They just moved in
down the block.

Wee going to stop by
and say hi

me with .

TD:
All the way there, Martha kept
saying to herself.

"Feline."

Hmm, I feel like I have heard
that name before.

But where?

TD:
The Felines seemed
nice enough.

(TD's ice):
It so nice to mt yo

We just love Wagstaff Cit...

(chirping)

TD:
But there was something
peculiar about them.

Um, you were saying?

Wha...? Oh!

Just that we
love it here.

Would you care to
join us for lunch?

And how!

(laughs, then clears her throat)

Speaking for the group, that is.

Mmm. Smells delicious.

What is it?

It's an old family recipe.

It's called mouse soup.

(whimpers)

... m.

I'll go get more spoons.

Hmm...

TD
There was definitely
something mysterious

about the Feline family.

(chirping)
(meows)

(hissing)

We have to get out of here!

Why?

I just remembered
what "feline" means!

It means...

Yes?

TD:
...said Mrs. Feline.

BOTH:
What does "feline" mean?

A feline is a... a...

Cat!

TD:
Mart was right

The Felines were actually cat
people from another planet!

Meow.
Meow.

Aw... cute.

Cute?!

They're cats!

Run!

all right.

(yelling)

(panting)

Cats!
I should have known it!

TD:
The Felines were catching up.

Martha had to think fast.

MARTHA:
This way!

The lake?

Cats hate water.

Quick. Dive in.

Drat.

(meows

TD:
They all made it home,

safe and sound.

That was a close one!

I'll say.

If those cat people
had caught us,

they'd probably turn us
into cats, too!

I hope you two are hungry
after all that.

Oh, m starving.

What have you got?

Some delicious...

Mouse soup!

(both scream)

Meow!

TRUMAN:
That's the end?

You're ending it
with them being cats?

Yeah, scary,
right?

But that couldn't
really happen,
could it?

Maybe.

Don't frighten her.

It's just science fiction,
Martha.

The fiction part means
it's made up.

ALICE:
What's that?

HELENSomething's climbing
on the tent!

(everyone screams)

Aw, I hate
to-be-continueds.

Things that are unforeseen

are things that you didn't know
would happen.

(yelling):
Pelican!

See?

I bet you didn't know I was
going to say "pelin."

It was totally unforeseen.

Something else that was
unforeseen was

yesterday's pop quiz.

One thing was
foreseeable, though.

D groans

That was foreseeable.

If something is foreseeable,

that means you know what is
going to happen.

And what happened next should
have been totally
foreseeable.

Now I hope you understand
the difference

between things
that are foreseeable

and things that are unforeseen.

(knock at door)

Beuse I'll be doing mework
for thforeeab fute.

HELEN:
You saw something
climbing the tent?

What is it?

There it is!

That's what
you saw?

HELEN:
One puny ant?

She didn't sayhe saw
mething enormous.

It'smazi
w ants

walk up things
without lling off.

d you ever wonder
what life would be like

if you were an ant?

Nope.
Uh, no.

Every day!

But e I'm
e only one.

t gives me
an idea for a story.

It's called "The Adventures
of Ant Alice and Ant Hel."

And it starts one day
in this very yard.

ALICE:
Alice and Helen were doing
a school report about ants,

using a flashlight
and a magnifying glass--

that's a special glass
that magnifies things.

"Magnify" means
to make things bigger.

When you look throh
a magn glass,

things are magnified
so easier to see.

Hewhich could
to anyone, trust me--

and dropped her dad's
flashlight.

When she put it back together,
she did something wrong.

(switch clicks on and off)

(high-pitched aming)

Aryou okay?
What happened?

(high-pitched):
I'm puny!

You turned the flashlight
into a shrinking ray!

How did I do that?

(screaming)

You shrunk us both
to puny ant size.

See?

What can we do?

We neeto talk to acienti.

A scientist?

y woulwe nd
a scientist?

Because scientists are
people who study science.

That mea thefigu out
hothin happen.

Mayba scientist could fire
th out

ALICE:
The ant-sized mini girls could
walk up things,

just like ants.

They wento Helen's dog,
Martha, for help.

Martha!
We need your help!

(gasps)

IC
ProfessoScntist!

We need help!

Who's there?

Where are you?

I'm on
the phone.

Well, I didn't hear
the phone ring.

It didn't ring.

I didn't call you
on the phone,

I'm standing
on thehone.

Look in your
magnifying glass.

You girls have miniaturized.

Yes, we have
miniature eyes.

We have miniature ears
and noses, too.

He didn't say "miniature eyes,"
he said "miniaturized."

PRESSOR:
Yes, miniaturized.

To miniaturize sometng
is to make it mh smler.

Can you revers
the miaturization

so they're big again?

Let me think.

Hm.. nope.

ALICE:
Thshrunken mini girl

had toarry on eir norm
lives, but wasn't sy.

Hele eat all your soup

It's goofor you.

But this is like eating
a swimming pl

full of giant vegetables.

ALICE:
Yeahoray!

I never ew shrinking
could be so much fun.

ALICE:
Theyere unbeatable
at hide-and-seek.

ve up.

You win again.

(girls giggling)

ALICE:
Nobody had more fun kite flying

than these shrunken
mi-girls did.

And they lived
happily ever after.

That's the end?

They stay miniaturized forever?

Well, sure.

TRUMAN:
That's not the end.

Here's what happens next.

You were drawing instead
of paying attention to me?

The minis were outside
when it started to snow.

ALICE:
Enormous snowflakes! Run!

(loud thuds, girls yelling)

Girls, stand still.

ALICE:
Stand still and be crushed
by a giant snowNo thank you!

BOTH:
ShWhoa! Ah!.

The baby's sleeping!

TRUMAN:
The scientist d invented
a reverse rink ray.

I it The Huge Maker.

TRAN:
Normal sizedgain, they
invited the scientist in

for thank yocookie.

They didn't know that part
of The Huge Maker ray

had also shined on an ordinary
ant, making it enormous.

Well, it was kid-sized, but
that's enormous for an ant.

Truman, the brilliant,
brave boy next door,

watrying tt his ple out
of a tree en...

Thank you,
giant ant.

No problem, buy.

That's a puny tree
to an enormous ant like me.

TRUMAN:
Truman asked the huge ant
to retrieve

some oer hd-to-rch items.

Noally, Truman
didn't like bugs--

they were small and crawly--

but having a friend who was
a huge ant was nice.

And the huge ant liked having
someone as hugely cool

asruman for hifriend.

Trum discovered that besides
being good climbers,

ants could lift many times
their own weight.

So a huge ant could lift
even huger things.

Hey, look at this huge toy
I found in the street!

You want to play with it?

No, huge ant, it's not
right to take things

that an't yos.

OhI didn't know.

I was living in a hole in
the ground until this morning.

(kids cheering)

TRUMAN:
The huge ant became
everyone's friend.

MARTHA:
This is the most fun I've
ever had with only one ant!

And he's my size, so he
can wear my old clothes!

A little to the left.

Perfect!

Put it down there.

Thanks.

I always wanted a bigger yard.

TRUM:
But whether tiny or enormous,
an ant was still an ant.

Where did all
thsugar go?

Uhh...

(clears throat,
whistles unassumingly)

TRUMAN:
He missed havingnt friends,

so he borrowed
thecientist's ray.

Hell
It's cled The ge Maker.

And they lived happily
ever after.

MARTHA
That's the end

Enormous ants everywhere?

They're happy ants.

Oh, that can't be
the last story.

Doesn't anyone have a story
that won't make me feel weird?

DAD:
I do.

Yodo?

Yup, andore s'mores.

Thisimwithout chocate,
so Martha n have some.

Forget the food, tell the ory!

(gasps)
I never thought I'd say that.

Okay. It's about us, camping.

A dad, a dog, and some kids
were camping in a tent.

The dog needed to go outside.

I need to go outside.

I'll be right back.

(gasps, stammers)

I thought you were
going in the house.

The house
isn't there!

What?!

(gasping)

HELEN:
The Earth-- it's been
miniaturized.

It's like a mini-Earth.

TRUMAN:
The Earth isn't shrinking.

We're floating away from it.

(screaming)

Pull your heads in.

There's no air in space.

It's improbable, but we're
floating away from Earth.

Improbable?

"Improbable" means

it seems like it couldn't
happen.

Like me getting my
homework in on time?

Exactly.

Or an ant the size
of a person.

Or a tent flying
into space.

It's my fault.

I didn't hammer the stakes
into the ground all the way.

The directions say, "If you
don't hammer your stakes in,

there's a chance your
tent will fly away."

Let me see.

Improbable.
Unpredictable.
Unforeseeable.

Yeah, but
here we are.

Oh! Oh!

ALL:
What?

The tent is also waterproof!

It's if you're someplace wet?

Well, there's water on Mars,
you know!

MARTHA:
How can we ever get home?

None of us knows anything
about space science.

There's an address on here
if you have complaints.

ALICE:
Great.

What's our return address,
Pup Tent, Outer Space?

DAD:
Don't worry, kids.

I didn't want to tell you this,
but I am...

(grunts)

Crash Action, Space Ranger!

You know, like the TV show?

Those old DVDs I have?

Oh, sure.

That explains why
we're in black and white.

And like I always say,
it's time for...

Crash Action!

You mean you have superpowers
and can fly us home?

Well, no.

Crash Action just knows
a lot about space.

(kids groan)

Like knowledge ever
solved anything.

Don't worry,
I have an idea.

Here.

We have to act fast
before we're too far away

to return.

That's your plan?
Drinking soda?

. Shakup your bottles.

Now stick the bottles out
and aim a little up.

Open your bottles on three.

One... two... three!

(soda fizzing)

TRUMAN:
Aha, I see!

Thforce ofhearbon dioxid
gas escapi from the bubbles

in the soda isropellinus
like a rocket eine.

HELEN:
That's it, the bottles
are empty.

(yelling)

We're entering
the Earth's atmosphere

d gravity will take us
from here!

But how do we stop?

I have a plan.

I tied a the sleing bags
into a lasso.

ALL:
Whoa!

HELEN:
You're our hero!

Look!

HELEN:
Someone else forgot to properly
stake their tent.

Let this be a lesson
to all of you--

always read anfollow
directions.

Don't let something completely
improbable happen to you.

And we lived happily ever after,
because here we are!

(groans)

What's wrong,
Mart?

That was a happy ending.

I'm never gointo be able
to sleep.

Because
of the stories?

Nobecause I at
