My Pet Dinosaur

In this term, you will be assessed

on an original research project.

You will work with

the person next to you

on the topic of your choosing.

See you next week, partner.

This totally proves

extraterrestrials seeded life on Earth.

Why Earth?

Why not Mars or Saturn?

Because of the Goldilocks zone.

- That's a "bear" faced lie.

- That's a dollar.

Hey guys.

Hey Jake.

Hey guys, look, another sighting.

Truth.wiki again Charles, really?

More like the wackopedia.

Charles, let's be logical for a moment.

If advanced beings

with the ability to travel

anywhere in the universe

actually exist...

Why would they visit Brightwood?

To make sure we're

not a threat, obviously.

A threat?

They have like warp drive

and interdimensional propulsion.

Yeah, we have your mom's minivan.

Definitely not a threat.

Hey dude, will you get out of my bag?

Where are the chips, Einstein?

Leave it alone.

It's a Wi-Fi amplifier, idiot.

Wow, that's fascinating.

Can it amplify this?

You're a massive nerd.

I need your skills again.

You really suck at this.

What do you want me to change it to?

I don't know,

a B minus or something.

Oh, come on!

No waffles?

This town sucks!

I heard she got cancer.

Who, Polly?

I heard this one kid got it,

and his entire family died.

They had like these boils and pus...

Ow, what was that for?

Dude!

Oh.

Sorry, man.

I bet you miss him, huh?

Sorry.

Hey Mikey, check this out!

Whoo! Wall and peace!

Michael Emory...

It's no use running, son.

Allan Farraday.

Here to rescue the world from the

horrors of street art?

This is three, Mike.

Three strikes.

You got me.

I give up, cuff me.

Get in the car.

You gonna take me in or what?

I'm taking you home.

No need to upset your mother today.

We're all very fond of Jennifer,

aren't we?

Well...

Your mom's a good woman.

Good morning, Doris.

Mrs. Mercher, how are you today?

Oh doctor, I'm dying!

Mm-hmm.

I'm crossing over.

I know I am.

Reduce your caffeine intake

and try to stay away from

processed foods.

I don't have the cancer?

Uh no, Mrs. Mercher,

you're suffering from migraines again.

I'm gonna send you for an eye exam.

- Migraines?

- Mmm.

Oh doctor, thank you.

You really know how to

put an old lady at ease.

- Thank you, doctor.

- Bye now.

- Bye.

- Bye bye.

I think you have a fan there.

Jennifer...

I have news.

They've sent someone.

He finally got their attention.

Two years.

This is just the beginning.

The investigator will be

at town meeting on Saturday.

Sure you're okay?

Yeah.

Hey Mike.

Do yourself a favor and

stay away from that Jonas kid.

Do us both a favor and

stay away from my mother.

Looks like little Jakey's

got a girlfriend.

Police escort again.

Real nice.

Hey, stop it!

Why do you have to be

such a jerk all the time?

I'm good with it.

Allan.

Hey, Jennifer.

What a pleasant surprise.

Unfortunately, it's a business call.

It's Mike again.

Oh.

It's okay, I let him off

with a final caution.

Thank you.

Don't thank me yet.

I do what I can to keep these

kids out of the system.

But Mike, he is really pushing it.

Okay, I'll talk to him.

Oh, um...

get together soon?

Yeah, I'd like that.

Michael Emory, you and I

are gonna have a big talk.

Did you hear what I said?

Mike!

Whatever, Jennifer.

Excuse me, I'm your mother!

Mike?

What?

What?

I just had a chat with

Officer Farraday, is what.

Do you have something to say to me?

Not really.

Mike?

How is Allan?

If it wasn't for Allan Farraday,

you'd be sitting in the

slammer right now!

All he wants to do is get in your--

Don't you dare finish that sentence!

Whatever. Why do you care?

Why do I care?

I didn't raise you to be

some delinquent is why.

What would your father have said?

I don't know.

Why don't you go ask him?

That's right, you can't!

Mike!

Jake?

Come here, please!

You mind telling me what this is?

My report card.

I gave it to you last week.

That's funny 'cause this one

just came in the mail.

It's Charles' handiwork, I presume.

You gotta hand it to him,

he certainly has talent.

You know you're grounded.

Right?

I guess.

You guess right, young man.

One week.

If you're having trouble...

you come and talk to me.

You don't have Charles

fashion forgeries.

I miss him too.

I'm sorry, mom.

Don't let Mike see that.

You know how he is

with your dad's things.

Shh.

- Idiot!

- Idiot!

What are you guys doing here?

We're going to the forest.

You've gotta come with.

Mom got my real report.

Really? What'd she say?

Could she tell them apart?

Dude, she was pissed.

I'm grounded.

My informant confirmed the coordinates.

There were sightings.

Informant. Who's his informant?

He means creepy Jeremy guy.

Shut up, Max.

Charles, I just told you I'm grounded.

You totally did, but listen...

I have a plan, we go there,

check it out, and come straight back.

We'll be an hour, tops.

What if it's totally legit?

We'll be rich and famous.

Dude, no one makes money online.

The Swedish gamer guy does.

True, he made like millions.

If my mom finds you guys here,

I'm dead.

Then hurry up and come down here,

so we can go already.

One hour?

Totally.

Okay, okay.

I'm coming.

So where are we going, exactly?

Here.

Hey Jake. What you doing?

Oh, hey.

Guys, this is Abbie.

- Hey.

- Hey.

We're going to the forest.

Cool.

Mind if I tag along?

- Sure, I guess.

- No, you can't.

Oh. How come?

It could be dangerous or something.

You might get dirty.

Sounds like fun.

I'll grab my bike.

I don't get girls.

Total aliens.

From Venus.

Especially pretty ones.

She seems okay.

Yeah? Well, she better keep up.

Ready? Let's go.

Guys, come on.

So, what's he looking for?

UFOs

Charles, how much further?

You said we'd be an hour.

It's been like 30 minutes already.

This is seriously creepy.

What if we get seducted by alien?

It's "abducted", moron.

"Seducted"'s when you get a girlfriend.

Hey, what do you call an

alien with no eyes?

Alens.

Get it?

- A, L...

- That's a dollar.

It's kind of a thing with us.

You get fined a dollar for bad jokes.

Yeah, Max owes like 100 bucks.

Guys, this is totally it.

Dylan, set up the cameras.

Did you check the sensors?

I don't wanna miss anything.

Relax.

They work.

I think I dropped some candy.

Ugh.

Man, gross!

Hey, look.

Wow, it's really beautiful.

Do they normally glow?

Capillary action.

I don't think that's a good idea.

We'll study it for class.

What if it's poisonous or something?

Charles, don't touch anything.

I only got enough charge

for one flash.

One?

It's all I got.

Is he always like this?

Charles?

He just gets like that

with this UFO stuff.

What's that stuff?

Dunno yet.

It's kinda weird, right?

Max!

Where are snacks?

Max!

I found it.

- Idiot!

- Idiot!

Well, that proves there's no

intelligent life out here.

You're in deep trouble, young man.

Jake, your friend Abbie's here.

She says you have a project due.

I thought I was grounded?

You are. That's why you're doing
