"Welcome, adventurers." "Welcome, one and all." "For those of you just joining us, I'm Pat Numbar." "Proud creator and benefactor of the 2054 search for the Extreme Teen Supreme." "After two days of fun-filled warm-up festivities here on Earth, we'll be rocketing off to the main event..." "On the moon!" "To me it is so believable-minor that something this gigantous could happen without Zenon." "Hello, Margie, isn't it crushing?" "Yeah." "Of course it is, Cassi." "Especially if by crushing you mean fully fabulo." "Margie!" "We love Zenon, remember?" "I know." "But I can't pretend to be pancaked about finally getting a chance to compete without her for once." "She wins everything." "Yeah, well, if she does it's because she way deserves it." "Hmm." "Zenon..." "Is it called parallel parking or parallel smashing?" "If you don't get this right, I can't pass you." "But if I don't get my pod license" "I can't join the contest." "Well, it's not my fault you wait until the last possible instant to take the test." "Yeah, but..." "Really, Zenon." "I think it's about time you acted a little more like an adult." "That's not fair." "If I start becoming all grown-uppy" "I'm going to be boring to the tenth power, squared." "But piloting is very serious business, Zenon." "You're not exactly helping, you know." "Up, Zenon, pull up." "I'm trying, Commander." "Well, add power." "It's fully not responding." "Uh..." "What can I do, Commander?" "What can either of us do?" "This ship is totally out of control!" "Well done!" "Commander Plank..." "Stay calm." "Move around it, Zenon, you can do this." "Good job." "Amazing job." "I honestly wasn't sure you had it in you." "Trust me, sir." "That makes two of us." "Oh!" "Whoo-hoo!" "You took us to Earth?" "Isn't it lunarious?" "We fished our wish." "How do you manage it, Zenon?" "I guess it's just what I do, sir." "You have scored 48 out of 50 points." "Your pod license is approved." "Congratulations." "See what I mean?" "Vega omega!" "Nebula!" "Hey, Zee!" "Now that you got your license are you going to pod-hop down here to see me?" "Vega omega, how are you?" "Is your semester in Maui still stellar?" "Oh!" "Perfect weather every day." "How could it not be?" "You have no idea how much I've been missing you." "Oh, isn't it totally viral being apart?" "But I hear that cousin Cassi and you are hanging like a pair of earrings." "She's the best." "Next to you, of course." "Hey!" "Do me a favor." "Keep an eye on her during the race to the moon." "Because she's not exactly as "well-traveled" as you are." "You're going to watch it on the flatscreen, right?" "Only every nanosecond." "Are you going to see Cassi soon?" "Sooner than soon." "Fabulo!" "Tell her I said hi, will ya?" "The nanosecond I see her." "Bye!" "Bye, Zee." "I gotta go back to a hard life of sand and surf." "To all you viewers all through the galaxy, it is now my proud, extreme privilege to present to you our six amazing..." "Zee, you're here!" "Did you get it?" "Did you qualify?" "Whoa!" "Nice picture." "Isn't it the inkiest?" "Oh, I'm so glad you're here!" "Yeah, me too." "I can tell." "Well, luckily Cassi and I have had mondo time to get glam-fabulous." "It's too bad you have to appear looking like that." "What's wrong with how I look?" "Nothing!" "From the Milliono space station, welcome..." "Bronley Hale!" "Forget making him a contestant." "He should so be the grand prize." "Liberty Space Lab presents to us, Cassiopeia Wade," "Margie Hammond..." "Hey!" "Last but not least, Zenon Kar." "This is a scam!" "This is a scam." "These people want to exploit the moon." "Not here pal, let's go." "Don't let them wreck the moon!" "Move it out!" "Well, that concludes today's festivities." "Please join us the day after tomorrow for the very first round of our competition, the thrilling run to Moonstock!" "Be sure to join us tonight for our kick-off beach party celebrating the glory of the moon goddess, Selena." "Hi, hey, excuse me." "Can I talk to you a minute?" "You're Zenon Kar, right?" "Sage Borealis." "So, you're not a huge fan of this contest?" "My friends and I think it's wrong to go to the moon." "Your friends?" "I think it's wrong." "Look, I'm sure that you're sincere-extreme and really believe in your cause, which is great." "But I got to go." "Good luck to you." "See ya." "Just so we're clear, get gone and stay gone!" "Ever since Edward and I got married, we've thought about having kids." "And we've talked about having kids and..." "Vega omega!" "You're having a baby!" "Oh, well, um, actually..." "The baby's already been had." "What?" "When?" "Oh, no..." "No, I didn't..." "No, it's not..." "She..." "She..." "Oh, see, we're not exactly spring chickens, as the saying goes." "So, we decided to take in a foster child." "Right, nothing permanent yet." "Still on a trial basis." "Right now we're working to prove to the bureaucrats that if they want loving, terrific parents, look no further than the Planks." "Well, have you met the kid?" "Is he great?" "Her." "Oh!" "It's a girl." "Stellar!" "How old is she?" "Ten." "Oh, but she's wonderful." "She reminds us quite a bit of you." "I wasn't trying to eavesdrop." "I swear I wasn't." "Uh..." "Zenon..." "Say hello to your new cousin, Dasha." "Wow!" "It's like looking in a mini mirror." "This is so lunarious." "I can't believe my hero-major is fully gonna be related to me." "Mmm-hmm." "Now Pat, we've had a flood of calls about the pod race." "Tell us about that." "Well, I'm glad you asked, because, you know," "I used to be something of a pod racer myself..." "So, how come Numbar only opened up the contest to space station kids?" "I'm not sure, but we could ask him." "Oh, let me do it okay?" "Go, go." "Oh, here's an interesting question from 10-year-old Dasha." "How come only Space Station kids could enter the contest and us Earth kids couldn't?" "Well, Dasha, the answer's very simple." "Did you hear that?" "He talked to me." "If I wanted one person to be my galactic role model, what better place to start than those bold, brave kids raised to view the world from such a unique perspective?" "Pat, tell us a little bit about the sponsorship for Moonstock." "Well, you know, Betty, I want to let you know that these sponsors will be looking after our kids..." "Mmm, this is good." "That their future knows no bounds." "It's a great wide universe out there, kids." "Let's strive to conquer every corner." "I know I've seen him somewhere before." "Duh, Zee!" "That's because he's the luge hover-boarder we loved last year in the West Wing Olympics." "Vega omega!" "He so is!" "Hey!" "Isn't he the guy that saved his fifth grade class?" "Yup." "The shuttle pilot passed out and the amazing" "Bronley flew everyone to safety even though he'd never done it before." "That's how he became the youngest cadet NASA ever put into a space trainee program." "So what is he, like some mega-perfect mondo-superstar?" "Apparently, he's already the odds on favorite to win the contest." "Says who?" "Hi!" "All I need is two minutes of your time." "You again?" "Look there are five other contestants." "Why don't you try one of them?" "I would..." "Except you're a born leader and I need someone like you to help get my message out." "What message?" "That bringing people to the moon is wrong." "It's only a two-day festival." "What's the big snarl?" "This is how it starts." "It's how it always starts." "A lot of people would call that progress." "No." "Real human progress would be knowing when to leave well enough alone." "You wouldn't feel that way if you grew up where I did." "Look up there." "Do you really want to be out on some great romantic date and gaze up to see it all covered in tacky lunar condos and Big Bang Burgers?" "That's not going to happen." "Wait, look." "To the left of the moon, that's my space stay." "That's what I call beautiful." "Excuse me." "We were having a moment here." "Excuse me, my friend." "But you're not even supposed to be here." "Still a free planet, no thanks to you." "Hey, green boy!" "What are you doing back?" "I'm not giving up on you." "I really need your help." "The trouble with guys like him is they think everything is some giant conspiracy." "Well, at least he has something he's really fired up about." "What fires you up?" "Winning." "Oh, so I guess it's gonna be pretty hard on you when I dust you in the pod race?" "You're trying to psyche me out." "Is it working?" "Not even a little bit." "And by the way, that's my space station." "Yours is somewhere over Europe." "Zee..." "What is the problem over there?" "You're wearing me out." "I don't know." "I can't sleep." "Well, maybe it's because you're all macro pumped about going to the moon." "Yeah." "The moon." "I wonder what it will be like." "Base here." "The Eagle has landed." "Roger!" "We copy on the ground." "I'm at the foot of the ladder." "I'm going to step off the LM now." "That's one small step for man, and one giant leap for mankind." "Whoa!" "Rocket up and scare me, why don't ya?" "Dasha, what are you doing there?" "Waiting for you to wake up." "Do you want to see the faces you were making?" "They were hilarious." "What a fully unnerving way to start the day." "This one I downloaded from a video chip, then printed on a Scanzak." "Isn't it stellar?" "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait." "Is that really a lock of my hair?" "I contacted the space stay's hair dresser's kid and had her Z-mail it to me." "Ingenious-major, no?" "Okay, now you're really starting to freak me out." "Don't worry." "I fully told her to wait until it was off your head." "I have an idea." "Why don't we forget about me and talk about you?" "Well, my life's been nothing but one foster home after another." "I mean, I've met plenty of decent people, I guess." "It's just that, somehow, none of them have actually clicked." "Until now." "I can mega tell, I've finally found my perfect family." "Dasha, time for summer school!" "That's the inky price I pay for attention-paying-minor over here." "So what do you think?" "She's pretty adorable, isn't she?" "She's great." "It would just be nice if she had one little minute when she wasn't trying to be me." "I know." "And I'm working with her on it, I promise." "The trouble is, she's been moved around so much that I think her only constant has been looking up to you as her role model." "Lucky me." "Well, look on the bright side." "By tomorrow night you will be up on the moon and Dasha will be stuck down here with us" "Aw..." "Hey!" "It's pretty tough being somebody's idol, huh?" "Oh, so now you know how Proto Zoa must feel every day of the year." "?" "Too much to know, so far to go" "?" "The galaxy is ours" "?" "The galaxy is ours, my girl" "?" "The galaxy is ours?" "Who in the galaxy could possibly be more adorable?" "Say again?" "Not you, Lester." "I'm talking about me." "It's a bust?" "Couldn't be." "It sounds like you need to tune up the old hearing aid, mate." "They don't want ya." "Of course they want me." "Everyone does." "Don't you remember?" "I'm irresistible." "It's a youth festival." "A youth festival, schmouth festival." "I've been cutting-edge so long they've nicknamed me "The Knife."" "It's just not in the cards, my friend." "It's no use." "Well, call them again." "How can Moonstock possibly be a happening happening without the most happening bloke in the galaxy?" "Okay kid, let me give them one more try." "When we're on the space stay I always forget that the best thing about Earth is the food." "Whoa!" "Keep going at that rate and you'll have enough bones to build a dinosaur." "Which reminds me, I have a bone to pick with you." "What did I do now?" "Aren't we together enough in our waking life without you invading my dreams too?" "Wait, I had a dream she was starring in too, last night." "Whatever it was, it could not have been as bizarro as my dream." "I was on the moon!" "With old Neil Armstrong." "How could you know that?" "How could I not know it?" "It was my dream." "But that's what was happening in my dream too." "And you didn't even need a space suit." "Wait, wait this is way too wiggy." "We cannot have the same dream." "Yet we did." "It is so dark matter." "Downright black-holish." "Inky to the tenth power squared." "Hey!" "Easy." "All I came to do was ask you to dance." "Bronley, by any chance did you have a weird dream last night?" "No, I don't really see the point of dreaming." "I'd much rather just be out there living it." "So, I hear you've led a pretty macro life." "Big space rescue, NASA cadet training, the Olympics." "Well, what about you?" "Saving your space station and jetting out to meet aliens..." "Cassi said we're two of a kind." "My only trouble's been finding someone who can keep up with me." "I know the feeling." "It seems like everyone gets way too caught up in playing it safe." "Yeah, because they're macro afraid of getting hurt." "So they never get a chance to find out what they might be missing." "Cetus lapides!" "If you want to kiss him, just do it already!" "Out!" "Dasha, what are you doing here?" "I thought I left you at home, asleep." "You did." "Till I realized that you were out here having all the fun." "I'm sorry about this." "I didn't know you had a sister." "I don't." "She's..." "My cousin, and we have to be going now." "Oh." "Wait a second, we can't leave yet." "I want to dance!" "I want to meet boys!" "Okay." "Bye." "What if Aunt Judy and Commander Plank go in to check on you?" "They're gonna be so worried-major, and you cannot do that to them." "I have to get you home right now." "Oh!" "There you are!" "Thank heavens you're all right!" "What were you doing giving us a scare like that?" "Actually, Commander, it's all my fault." "I should've known." "Wait!" "It wasn't..." "Dasha, it's okay." "I'm sorry, guys." "I just..." "I made a judgment error-major." "It's just..." "Since I'm heading off to the moon tomorrow," "Dasha and I wanted to spend a little quality time together before I go." "I fully should have left you a zap-pad note?" "That fully would've made us a lot less worried, considering Judy..." "But you're home safe now, so why don't we just head off to bed and call it a night?" "Sounds good." "Yeah." "Wait, wait!" "Zenon." "Dasha!" "Dasha..." "Leave them alone." "They're tired." "They need their..." "No." "I can't believe that you actually covered for me like that." "It was so stellar!" "Dasha, I did it because I need you to do something for me in return." "Okay." "I'm already me, so you can't be me, because that job's already taken, but what I need you to do is promise me that you'll fully try being yourself." "Did I just say that?" "You know, I was afraid we were getting in over our heads the minute we took this on." "Few more incidents like tonight," "I'm not sure we're gonna be able to keep her." "Honey, she's young." "We have to give her a chance to settle down." "And what if she doesn't?" "What if she's just born wild?" "There's nothing you can do about that." "You're not suggesting we give her back, are you?" "I'm saying we need to be practical." "No matter how big and brown her eyes are, what's the point of keeping her if she's going to ruin our lives?" "Oh, Edward, were we ridiculous to take this all on at once?" "I've always wanted a dog." "Yes, I did!" "Yes, I did!" "Ahem!" "And Dasha is gonna love her, too." "Even if the dog does come at a rather inconvenient cost." "Braving difficult travel conditions due to freakish weather in some parts of the world," "350 lucky ticket-winning teens are flocking to board the space vans that will carry them to the unique youth festival being billed as a three-day blast into the future." "Aunt Judy, are you almost ready?" "We need to get going." "Did you zap-pad your parents yet?" "Yes, I did and they promised they'd be watching the race from the flatscreen in their lab." "Hmm." "Vega omega!" "You're cute, aren't you?" "Who's this?" "No, now, careful, Zenon." "We just got back from getting her shots." "Oh." "She's for Dasha." "Do you think she'll like her?" "Who wouldn't?" "She's precious." "Aw." "Where is Dasha, anyway?" "We're only gonna have, like, two seconds to say goodbye." "She told me you did all that when I dropped her at summer school this morning." "Well, Ms. Kar..." "I figure I'm wasting my breath, but why don't you see if you can make it through this entire lunar adventure without getting sucked into a single galactic calamity?" "Hey, all a girl can do is try." "Mmm." "T-minus one minute and counting." "Pod pilots, man your spacecraft." "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, get ready to sit back and enjoy our thrilling coverage of the first event of this amazing Moonstock festival, the sure-to-be thrilling race to the moon, featuring our six extraordinarily talented teen competitors." "T-minus 30." "Ladies and gentlemen, round one of our Extreme Teen Supreme competition..." "Sage?" "...will be blasting off momentarily." "T-minus 20." "Contestants, start your engines." "T-minus ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one." "Blast-off!" "Off they go, folks, off on what promises to be a thrilling race." "And I'll be joining you again from the moon." "Only the first four racers to successfully land at Moonstock will advance to the next round." "Bronley takes an early lead, with Margie close behind, followed by Jason, Zenon, Cassi and Bobby." "Margie is neck and neck with Bronley, but there's not enough room for both of them in the turn." "Somebody has to give..." "Oh!" "A daring inside move puts Margie out in front." "Yes!" "Zenon's moved up to third, gaining fast on Bronley." "Uh-oh!" "Zenon cuts off Bronley." "He's missed the buoy and will have to circle back and try again." "See ya later, golden boy." "All you make me do is push harder." "This may eliminate Bronley unless he can make up for the lost time." "Hey, watch it." "This may be trouble!" "Hey!" "Bronley and Cassi on a collision course." "Whoa!" "Well, that was close." "Oh, no!" "Oh, no!" "Looks like Cassi's pod is out of control and she may be out of the race." "Cassi, are you okay?" "I'm not sure." "I'm on my way." "Okay, okay, okay." "Zee!" "Follow me!" "Watching Zenon selflessly race off to assist her friend Cassi, reminds us that this remarkable young woman has always had an uncanny knack for being there when others need her." "At the last buoy over Tycho, Margie has increased her lead with only the descent to the lunar surface to go." "Margie Hammond wins the hot pod race to Moonstock!" "Yes!" "Sealing his position in the next round," "Bronley Hale takes second place." "Zenon and Cassi, drafting each other, have caught up with the two remaining hot pods." "Whoa, what a brilliant move!" "Go, Zenon!" "Pour it on!" "Dasha, what are you..." "How did you..." "Forget about me." "We have to win." "Wait a minute." "Jason and Bobby seem to have lost power." "Yes!" "Zenon comes in fourth." "The final qualifying position for the Extreme Teen competition." "Dasha, didn't you learn anything last night?" "Commander Plank and Aunt Judy are gonna be so worried-major about you." "Says you." "The truth is they don't even want me." "What are you talking about?" "I heard them." "Said one more misstep-minor and they were sending me back." "No matter how big and brown my eyes are." "That can't be true." "They love having you in their lives." "They've told me like a hundred times." "Wait a second." "Your eyes aren't brown." "Are you sure they weren't talking about the puppy?" "What puppy?" "Oh, no, okay." "Okay, we just need to call them right away and let them know where you are." "We're sorry, all circuits are blocked." "Please try again later." "Lucky you, I'm all yours." "What took you so long?" "Aren't you fully dying to offer me victory congrats?" "I'm very proud of you, Margie." "Seriously, aren't I amazing?" "Whoa!" "Where did that come from?" "Hmm." "Don't ask." "So aren't you fully dying to check this place out?" "Moonstock shuttle number 343 is now landing at the main docking port." "As all Moonstock attendees enter the Lunasphere, please remember to register with the..." "I have a feeling we're gonna have the macro best time of our lives." "?" "Lunasphere, guess who's here" "?" "Moonstock fans will cheer?" "The Protozoa, baby!" "Speak!" "How's every little thing?" "Lester, my man!" "You'll be delighted to know I'm all packed." "What time do I leave for the Lunasphere?" "Actually, you're not booked yet." "What do you mean I'm not booked?" "Perhaps it's time you just rest on your laurels." "I don't want to rest on my laurels." "My laurels are fully rested." "Thanks just the same." "I know, but..." "If you can't get me a booking," "I'll take matters into my own manicured hands." "And save your blasted commission in the process." "But Proto Zoa..." "Ouch!" "All I have to do is let them know I'm available." "The demands of the fans will do the rest." "?" "Lunasphere, guess who's here?" "?" "Moonstock fans will cheer?" "I like that, quite a bit, it's like a remix of the original." "For the moon." "Why, they ask me." "Why go through all the trouble and expense of staging a festival on the moon." "Well, I'll tell you why." "Because we can!" "You lucky ticket winners are in for two days of merriment, music and the final two rounds of the Extreme Teen Supreme competition." "Plus, you'll be treated to a surprise performance by the most popular band in the galaxy, the one and only," "Cosmic Blush!" "?" "Not gonna walk on thin ice" "?" "When you tell me I'm wrong and you're right" "?" "You can say whatever you like" "?" "'Cause girls do what girls do" "?" "Not gonna do what you want" "?" "You keep thinkin' I will but I won't" "?" "Stop thinking I do when I don't" "?" "'Cause girls do what girls do?" "This is wrong." "Not you again." "Hey!" "Let go of me." "Wait!" "Get your hands off of him!" "This is still a free planet." "Mmm-hmm." "Or satellite." "I agree." "Yeah." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, man!" "Easy, easy." "No need to be unkind." "Show this gentleman to my office." "And we will open a dialogue." "The moon is not..." "Okay, even though I sincerely do appreciate your creative contribution, the demands of the fans must take precedence." "So, gang..." "Are you ready to party?" "Keep your eye on her, too." "What are you getting?" "One burger, please." "Two." "Coming right up." "Oh, the circuits are open, it must be Aunt Judy." "Zee, you there?" "Oh, it's been so wiggy trying to get through to you." "Neb, are you okay?" "Well, considering it went from summer to winter in like a day..." "Vega omega!" "What was that?" "That's not the way I want my coconut ice cream." "I think I'd better head for cover." "That's okay, I've to try and get in touch with" "Commander Plank and Aunt..." "Judy." "The circuits are down again." "Zenon, honey, please I need to hear from you." "As soon as you get this message, zap me back and let me know if you have any idea where Dasha might be." "Bye." "I've looked every place." "I don't know where she can possibly be." "No umbrella, huh?" "Well, when I left it was a clear, star-filled sky." "Any luck yet?" "No." "I've left 10 or 12 messages but Zenon still hasn't gotten back to me." "Edward." "What if something bad happened to her, too?" "Oh, now, don't start going there." "I'm sure she'll be fine." "Zenon's always fine." "The flash news is reporting, everyone's having trouble getting through to the moon." "Come on." "Why don't you take a break?" "Let me try, okay?" "I had the dream again." "Me, too." "Me three." "Yeah, but what does it mean?" "Look, I don't want to get all mystic cryptic-major here..." "But it seemed like Selena was calling you out." "Hmm?" "Hey, there you are." "Have you had breakfast yet?" "Um, no, I'm gonna get something later." "No, no, come chow with me." "I'm gonna get a quick bite and then stake out prime seats for the Cosmic Blush concert." "Oh, that's today." "Yeah, it is." "And it's gonna be the most blazing concert ever!" "Okay, well, um, I'll meet you there." "I just have to run something by Sage." "What, the protest zuber?" "Forget that guy, he's a total green bean." "I don't care." "He's the only person that I can think of that might be able to help me figure out those viral moon dreams I've been having." "You start hanging with him, he's only gonna try and talk you into quitting the contest." "And hey, maybe that's a good thing." "You wish." "I hate to break it to you, but I'm gonna stay in this contest until it's me, not you up there wearing the crown." "A heat wave in Alaska..." "Unexpected downpour..." "Freakishly high tide on the Jersey shore." "...seen in this footage shot by farmer John Vangle of Rice Lake, Wisconsin." "His grazing herd of dairy cows were lifted into the sky by an unknown force, where they hovered for more than half an hour." "There has to be an easier way to make a milkshake." "Commander Plank!" "Vega omega, all the kajillion frantic messages from you and Aunt Judy finally got to me this morning but I haven't been able to get through to you," "I've been trying forever." "Dasha's here." "She's there?" "Well, not here-here, but she's here, in the capable hands of Margie and Cassi." "Oh, thank heavens." "We were worried sick." "She stowed away on my racing pod because she's fully afraid that you and Aunt Judy don't want her." "What?" "Did you tell her nothing could be further from the truth?" "I tried." "Okay, uh, you know what?" "You just tell her to sit tight." "I don't care how dangerous these weather warps are, we're coming to get her." "But Commander..." "You take good care of her, Zenon." "Judy and I are on the way." "Tell Dasha that we love her very much." "Oi-oi-oi!" "?" "Zoom, zoom, zoom?" "Oh, Proto Zoa!" "Aw." "Stellar!" "I didn't know you were on the bill." "Actually, love, I'm not." "That's right, it's me." "In the well-toned fabulous flesh." "If it's an autograph you want, step right up." "No need to be shy." "I'm all yours." "Remind me to write that dear Janie a thank-you note, would you, love?" "Can't tell you how relieved I am that someone's finally come along and taken the pressure off of me." "Well, you're still gonna play for us, right?" "If they'll have me." "Lester has this ridiculous notion, that I'm too old." "Oh, forget him." "You're so not old until you hit like, 30." "I'm 31." "Oh." "Um, have I told you how fully fabulo you're looking?" "Has it come to this, Zenon?" "Am I truly yesterday's news?" "Vega omega!" "Of course not!" "Come with me." "If I don't find a way to reinvent myself," "I'll be nothing but an old rocker in an old rocker on a rock 'n' roll retirement home front porch." "It's Proto Zoa." "Who's Proto Zoa?" "Proto Zoa used to be a star." "I was the first rock star ever to play in outer space." "Yes, well, personally, Proto Zoa" "I love your music, I have every one of your disk chips, I do." "Well, of course you do, mate." "But this event, is all about reaching into the future." "Which is why Proto Zoa couldn't be more perfectly perfect for you." "How do you figure?" "Because if it's the world of tomorrow you're selling, why not jump ahead of the curve and present an ultra-hip new genre all your own?" "You could call it..." "Lunar Retro." "Uh..." "You're in." "See?" "Wishes do come true." "Retro." "What?" "Nothing, love." "We're in!" "?" "Hiding out all alone" "?" "Wrapped up in my fear" "?" "Only you can see right through" "?" "And make it seem so clear" "?" "A fiery nova, a roaring nova" "?" "Blasting into space" "?" "A blazing comet smiles upon it" "?" "Your stellarnarious face" "?" "Come on" "?" "Wake me up, shake me up" "?" "Race me to the stars" "?" "Too much to know, so far to go" "?" "The galaxy is ours" "?" "The galaxy is ours, my girl" "?" "The galaxy is ours?" "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you." "Thank you very much." "Now, it is my distinct honor to present to you the one and only, truly fabulous, Cosmic Blush." "?" "I was on my own" "?"

"What you're doing to me" "?" "When it's all about you" "?" "What about me?" "?" "Don't I deserve to be happy?" "?" "I spend all of my time giving you mine" "?"

"When it's all about you" "?" "Whoa" "?" "When it's all about?" "Really, Edward." "Aren't we going awfully fast?" "Look out for that whatever-it-is!" "It's a descending fleet of shuttle pods, dear." "At least 150 miles below us." "I'm sorry, okay?" "They looked so close." "I really wish you'd calm down." "What's that?" "Is that snow?" "Apparently, dear." "Edward." "Can it snow in outer space?" "Apparently, dear." "Look, I don't want excuses." "Either you sell these T-shirts by the end of today or you're on the first moon bus back home." "You got it?" "Good, excellent." "Hey, looking good." "How's the popcorn?" "All right." "Hey, here he is." "Here's my boy." "The contestant with "winner" written all over him." "Thank you, sir, very nice of you to say." "No, no, I'm not just saying it." "I mean it." "You're everything this competition is about." "You're brave, handsome, strong." "The fact is, you remind me quite a bit of myself when I was your age." "Bron..." "Can I call you Bron?" "My winner has to be someone with faith in the future, somebody who believes in progress, someone with unswerving loyalty." "I've never swerved in my life." "Of course you haven't." "Like I said, you're a thoroughbred and that's why, I can't wait to shake your hand again at the finish line." "Twenty jillion cute guys watching around the galaxy..." "Couldn't there be one event where we get to be glam-fabulous?" "Wait," "I thought girls were supposed to have evolved passed all of that." "Look kid, just because I'm macro smart and mega-independent, that's no reason for me to bury my beauty." "Um, guys, I know that it's just down to the three of us and Bronley, but I just want to say that no matter what happens, our friendship will always be the most important thing." "Right?" "Of course." "Most definitely." "Good, 'cause we're three sides of an equilateral triangle." "Um, excuse me..." "Any chance that, that triangle might become a square?" "Are you ready for action?" "Competitors, are you ready?" "On your marks, get set..." "Go!" "Margie sprints into an early lead with Bronley, Zenon and Cassi a peg or two behind." "Zenon seems to be struggling just a bit, but none of these kids are showing any signs of giving up." "Oh, yes, things are definitely heating up as Bronley makes a determined move up ahead of the rest." "The race is tightening as all these incredible contestants remain fiercely competitive." "Uh..." "Well..." "Well, it's Bronley and Zenon out in the front, inches away from snatching the Saturn ring." "Wow!" "In an unexpected surge it's Zenon and Bronley taking the front positions with Margie and Cassi still fighting to move back into contention." "Trust me, folks, this isn't over yet." "Margie and Cassi still have a chance to pull ahead, especially if Zenon should slip and fall." "Uh..." "Uh, well..." "Either Zenon Kar or Bronley Hale will be the first ever Extreme Teen Supreme." "Yeah!" "Wait, wait!" "Whoa, whoa." "Hold on, Mr. Numbar." "I want to lodge a formal complaint." "There is no way this race can count because Zenon Kar cheated." "I didn't do anything." "Look, Zenon, I know what I saw." "Maybe it's because for the first time in your life, you're not a shoe-in slam dunk." "You can cheat all you want, but it's still gonna be me who wins." "Really?" "Then why are you trying so hard to get me eliminated?" "Kind of stinks to be unfairly judged, doesn't it?" "Enough." "If I want your opinion, I will ask for it." "No one in the audience saw anything unusual, and lacking tangible proof of misconduct," "I can only accept the results as they stand." "Margie, Cassi, you've been fine competitors." "Congratulations on making it this far." "And you, Miss Kar..." "I'll be watching you." "Closely." "I can't imagine how awfully embarrassing it would be to be exposed as a cheater on the intergalactic flatscreen." "Look," "I didn't say anything in Numbar's office cause we're supposed to be BFs." "So what's the deal?" "Is that how you've always won everything?" "No." "I didn't do anything." "Was it the same silver mist that helped you in the pod race?" "I don't know." "Maybe." "Well, then, if you didn't know what caused it, why didn't you just speak out and admit it was there?" "Because I don't know what it is or what it wants from me, and I don't think it's fair to disqualify myself over something I fully have no control over." "But you're sure okay having a magical advantage over the rest of us." "Vega omega, Margie." "What do you want me to do?" "Quit." "Cassi, you understand why I can't do that, right?" "Well, actually, no." "Among a zillion other reasons, winning is what I do." "It's what I've always done." "It's what people expect from me." "Yeah, but we also expect you to do it fairly, Zee." "And without pancaking your friends in the process." "Let's go, Cassi." "I think somebody needs a little time alone to get her values straight." "If you think it's so lunarious being me, try doing it today." "I have no idea what's the right thing to do." "Margie and Cassi blame me for getting them squeezed out of the contest," "Bronley thinks I'm a cheater," "Sage thinks I'm a sell-out, and on top of all that, I'm being chased and boosted by this silver moon mist everyone's so sure I can control, but I can't!" "Hey!" "If it helps, I believe you." "About all of it." "I mean, you were right about Wyndham." "You were right about the aliens." "Why would anybody figure you'd start lying now?" "Good question." "Come on." "You know what I say?" "I say forget about them." "Just do what you told me to do." "Just be yourself, and you'll be fine." "Whoa." "Wait a minute." "Did we just have a fable moment-major or what?" "It's like right before my eyes, the student became the teacher." "I'm gonna go find Sage." "I'm fully behind you, Zee." "Forget that." "I'm much better off with you fully beside me." "Come on." "What are we doing here?" "Well, I think it's totally unfair for Numbar to keep Sage locked up in here, so I intend to break him out." "And how do you know the access code?" "Dasha, is this me we're talking about or what?" ""Coming soon, the lunar community of tomorrow."" "Zenon." "Suddenly it all makes sense." "Glad to hear it." "Now you can tell me why in the universe is this moon mist trying to make me look like a cheater-major?" "I don't mean that." "This." "What is it?" "What Moonstock is really about." "A permanent settlement up here, and we're the beginning of it." "I don't get it." "Numbar's trying to steal the moon." "Oh, yeah." "He'll declare squatter's rights because he was the first one to put down roots up here." "Wait a second." "I thought Neil Armstrong was first." "Oh, well, he left." "Numbar won't." "Wait." "Wait, wait." "Neil Armstrong, the first lunar landing, that was around here, wasn't it?" "Not too far away." "The Sea of Tranquility." "Why?" "I..." "I just have a feeling-major that someone there is trying to reach me." "But you can't go out onto the moon." "It isn't safe." "I'll be mondo careful." "Don't worry." "I'll be fine, Sage." "Girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do." "Stay." "Override auto lock." "That's one small step for woman, one giant leap for womankind." "Hi." "It's me, Zenon." "Look, I don't know who you are or what you are, or if I'm going loony extreme, but..." "I've been feeling as if the moon mist and I are supposed to meet here." "So did I get it right?" "Are you here?" "If not, I'm gonna feel ridiculous-major for standing here and talking to a flagpole." "Hello?" "Well, I had to try." "Hold it right there, sister." "Hi." "Who are you?" "Who do you think I am, Venus?" "I am Selena, goddess of the moon." "Okay, well, I thought Selena was this froofy-looking lady that Numbar uses on his posters." "Yeah, and how tweaked do you guess I am about that?" "Trying to sell me to the universe as some prude in a peach nightie?" "By the way, took you long enough to figure out I was calling you." "Sorry." "I'll get over it." "Oh, look." "I'm over it already." "Anyway, word around the galaxy is, you're a girl who can get things done." "What kind of things?" "Like getting your fellow humanoids off of my surface so I can get back to living in peace." "I've been mixing things up on your home planet so everybody'll know that I mean business." "You're the one responsible for the weather warps." "Duh!" "The point is, things are gonna get a whole lot uglier unless you convince everybody to get gone!" "Nobody's gonna listen to me." "My best friends aren't even speaking to me." "Boo-hoo." "My best friends aren't even speaking to me." "Do you really think I care?" "It's up to you to get everybody off of me before next Earthset, or else." "What are you doing?" "Gravity glitch." "Do you dig it?" "Ahhh!" "See?" "I can cook up all kinds of fun games to play, unless you clear out and clean up my surface of every last bit of your trash." "Ah!" "Vega omega, that was intense." "Dasha!" "How is it possibly possible that you are here?" "Zee, before you launch into lecture mode-major, remember that we only have until the next Earthset to avoid a master disaster supreme." "Edward." "Why aren't we there yet?" "I know, sweet..." "Holy..." "Oh, I see it." "I see Tycho." "We've done it, sweetheart." "The Lunasphere is right over the horizon." "Now I just need to find a place to land." "Ahhh!" "This can't be good." "What happened?" "I think the tracking lights are going in circles." "Zenon!" "Oxygen level, 30 %." "Pretty soon we're gonna run out of air." "But other than that, everything's stellar." "What are we gonna do?" "Hey!" "Oh, they must have been going to the Lunasphere." "This way." "Hey, you're getting pretty good at this." "Wait for me." "What's happening, honey?" "Oh, please, please, please, don't tell me we're crashing." "I've never experienced anything like this in all my years of flying." "It's as if we're caught in the grip of some gravitational pull." "I've got it!" "I've got it!" "That was close." "Oxygen level, 15 %." "We made it." "We're safe!" "Open it, Zee." "Did you override the auto lock when you left?" "Over-what?" "It's okay, Dash, we'll find a way to get in." "Help!" "Somebody help us!" "Please!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help us!" "Oxygen level critical." "Zee..." "We're out of air." "Zee..." "Oh!" "Thank you." "Sage, what are you doing?" "I was about to come looking for you." "You were?" "Just in time." "We were out of air." "Yeah, that's why I was coming to bring you some back-up." "But I thought that you thought that it was dangerous-major to go out on the moon." "Hey, a guy's got to do what a guy's got to do." "I'm sorry I doubted you, Sage." "You were right about everything." "The moon is so not supposed to be developed, and unless we get everything off her surface before the next Earthset, we're gonna face destruction..." "Zenon, what happened?" "How do you know all this?" "Selena told her." "Selena as in the moon goddess?" "Not her." "The real Selena showed up at the Sea of Tranquility." "She's really mad." "Look, I know it sounds macro crackup, but it's true." "Fully true." "Before she goes into meltdown mode, we need to get everyone off the moon." "Fine with me." "You believe me?" "Look, I don't have to believe you." "All I care about is that you're finally on board to do what I've been trying to do from the very beginning." "Now, tell me what you need." "Well, you can start by figuring out how much time we have until the Earth drops below the lunar horizon." "Attention, attention." "Zenon Kar and Bronley Hale report to the stage." "Not today, Numbar." "I'm gonna be too busy saving the world." "Again." "Zee!" "You're here, and you didn't flee!" "I am so happy!" "Does this mean that we're talking again?" "Now and forever." "I mean, it was horrible being tweaked at you." "I'm fully willing to be magnanimous and forgive you too, you know." "I am so glad we're all good again, I mean," "I don't even remember what popped us apart in the first place." "Well, you and Margie thought that it was wrong for Zenon to not quit for getting a mist boost in the Saturn Scramble." "Thank you, Dasha." "Who cares about any of it?" "I mean, just as long as we're best friends again." "Good, because something inky-extreme is going to happen unless I fully have all the help I can get." "However we can assist, we're here." "Good." "Start packing." "Can you fix it, honey?" "I can fix anything, sweetheart." "You know that." "Try the radio again." "Aye, aye, Commander Fix-It." "Ladies and gentlemen..." "I did get help from an outside force." "I knew it!" "But it wasn't me who cheated, Bronley." "It was Selena, the moon goddess." "She was helping me." "Right." "And then what?" "Uh," "Neptune took you swimming with his mermaid friends, right?" "I'm fully being serious." "I'll forfeit to you, just help us get the word..." "You're trying to psyche me out again." "Bronley, this isn't about you!" "Zenon, everything is about me." "What's this, another one of your little tricks to keep from losing?" "What are you talking about?" "Whoa!" "Vega omega!" "You know what this is?" "This is one of those gravity glitches" "Selena swore she'd unleash if we didn't get gone." "And kids, here they come." "Put it together for our two fabulous finalists..." "Stop, stop!" "Zenon Kar..." "We have to get out of here." "Go ahead and name Bronley the winner." "Unless you listen to me, all he's going to be is the Extreme Teen Supreme of nothing." "'Cause that's all that's going to be left." "Zenon, what are you on about now?" "May I have your attention, please." "I have a mondo urgent announcement to make." "Something has come up that makes it virally unsafe for us to stay here on the moon." "So we need to create a calm but urgent evacuation plan." "I'm really not going to tolerate this." "Well, you have to." "As inked-out as it sounds," "Selena the moon goddess has issued an eviction notice extreme." "Oh, for heaven's sake, how do you come up with this stuff?" "Are you listening to this girl?" "She's living in la-la whoo-whoo fantasy land." "I'm telling the truth." "Oh, really?" "Well, why don't you offer us some proof?" "Well, Miss Kar?" "Selena, now would seriously be an opportunity-major to offer an assist." "I want to be alone!" "Oh!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Oh, Zenon!" "Stop this!" "Get me down from here." "Okay, everybody..." "Okay, everybody!" "Now you have your proof." "Stay ice, don't panic." "Just head back to the dorms, start packing and wait for further instructions, which you can fully expect..." "As soon as I figure out a plan." "Zenon, don't leave me here." "The shuttles are gone." "I was afraid of this." "I'll bet they went to Earth to pick up the other workers." "What workers?" "The workers to build the permanent settlement he's been planning all along." "Numbar stranded us on the moon?" "Duh." "Nobody..." "Nobody strands Bronley Hale!" "Oh!" "So you're with us?" "Duh." "Duh." "Stage two alert." "All personnel report to your alert stations." "Stage two alert." "Proto Zoa!" "Report to your alert stations." "Stand back, ladies." "I've got a loaded spoon and I'm not afraid to use it." "I am sorry-major that you're having a bumpy day, but you really need to snap out of it and help us." "Stop it!" "How did you get here?" "And please tell me it was in your customary style." "Darling," "I never leave home without the galaxy's hugest, most luxurious touring vehicle!" "The Wonder Bus!" "Which I used to be able to afford." "Do you have any idea what a mondo hero you're gonna be?" "Come on." "Hurry, girls, and report to the main exit corridor." "The Wonder Bus is waiting." "Come on!" "And don't worry about any gravity glitches you might hit!" "Just keep moving!" "We're on our way home." "Hello?" "Anybody remember me?" "Pat Numbar, stuck on the ceiling!" "Hey, green boy!" "Get me down from here." "What..." "What are you doing with my camera?" "Getting your confession." "Fat chance!" "Mr. Pat Numbar, is it your intent and has it always been your intent to use Moonstock to establish squatter's rights and steal the moon?" "What makes you think I would answer that?" "Because the last shuttle is leaving in three minutes, and I'll be on it." "Uh, uh, wait!" "Wait, wait!" "Oh." "Okay, I did it." "It was me." "I did it..." "Oh, no, no, wait." "I didn't have my camera ready." "It's my camera and I did it." "Now, get me down!" "Stage four emergency." "All personnel prepare to evacuate." "Ready!" "Stage four emergency." "All personnel prepare to evacuate." "Go." "Okay, everyone to the Wonder Bus!" "Let's go!" "Let's go." "Head for the main exit portal." "Carefully." "Don't run!" "Hurry, everyone." "Hey, Zenon, I need your help with this lower line." "Ready." "Welcome!" "Welcome." "Come right in." "Make yourself at home." "Prepare to bask in a rare opportunity to experience the unparalleled glamour and luxury of being me!" "Five, four, three, two, one." "Don't panic." "Grab ahold of the tether line and keep going." "All right." "You're good." "Come down." "Come down." "Okay, cool!" "Okay, grab my hand." "Reach out." "There you go." "You're good." "Go." "Come on, everybody!" "All right, guys." "Onto the Wonder Bus." "Let's go." "As fast as you can." "Good job." "Come on, everyone." "Please." "Keep in a straight line." "Women and children first." "Actually, everybody first." "Whoa!" "Hey!" "Get back here!" "Stage five emergency." "Great, you guys." "Okay, is everybody out?" "We've checked, checked, and double-checked." "Stellar." "Everyone, into your pods!" "We have six minutes to get rid of this dome." "Okay, guys." "We need to get every trace of Moonstock off the surface without getting smashed to bits by the next gravity glitch." "Still working on that." "All pods deploy grappling hooks." "All right, all right." "Vega omega!" "I missed it." "It's okay, Zee." "Stay ice." "Just circle around and try again." "Okay." "Got it." "Now, everybody, lift!" "It's not working." "What do we do?" "We can't leave the dome behind or Selena will go gaseous." "Any suggestions?" "Wait!" "Everybody, look!" "Commander Plank reporting for duty, Zenon." "Just tell me what you need me to do." "Daddy!" "Help us lift this thing." "Dasha!" "Dasha, honey, we came to get you!" ""Daddy." I like that." "Vega omega, look at that!" "Vega omega!" "You did it again, didn't you?" "How did you know?" "Well, Cassi zapped me about you and Selena." "And then when the weather warps just quit," "I fully figured, it had to be your doing." "Oh." "And, uh, by the way, exactly when were you planning on scooping me about your Sage crush-major?" "Neb!" "Why don't save it until he's not here?" "Oops, my blip." "We want Blush!" "You know, even though Zenon might've thought you were a little shallow and self-centered," "I just want it to be clear that those are two qualities" "I personally don't have a problem with." "Dasha, honey..." "Whatever happens between us in the future, always remember that we chose you." "And if you ever have a moment when you doubt that we love you, promise you'll come and talk to us before you take off and leave the planet again?" "Okay." "And as our daughter, young lady, you're gonna have a number of important new responsibilities." "Mmm-hmm." "Including..." "Walking." "Oh!" "She's for me?" "Oh, yeah." "All mine?" "Oh."

"Mr. Numbar, if you thought" "Selena was hard to handle, let me just point out to you that Mars is the god of war." "Oh, really?" "Well, why don't you..." "Some people just never learn."
