ofelectricity.

The cops wont listen.

Mom and Dad wont listen.

He asked me ifI spoke French,

then winked at me.

Mt. Van Buren ? Thats 20 miles away.

Im not taking you there.

Dear Diary,

I dreamed ofJimmy again.

He was rocking me so gently,

-just like he rocks the grease off

a basket ofhot and steamy onion rings.

- [ Moans ]

- Whoa ! Let me look at that.

-Jerks.

Hey, you kids ! Get away from

that fake Martian landscape !

- Miss Director ! Miss Director !

- What is it now, Gretchen ?

Ive been studying the moon with the

200-inch telescope at the observatory,

and Ive detected some peculiar

eccentricities in its orbit.

Gretchen, maybeyou should try out one

ofthese neat antigravity harnesses.

The other kids love em,

and look, you can even do back flips,

Just like real astronauts.

But--

[ Sighs ]

Why do I bother ?

Becauseyoure driven

by a passionate desire for knowledge ?

T.J. ? Vince ?

What areyou guys doing here ?

Youre not gonna

believe this, but--

- Dematerialized ?

-Just like out ofStar TreK.

Fascinating.

Mi, mi, mi, mi, mi

- Mi, mi, mi, mi, mi

- Mi, mi, mi, mi, mi

Mi, mi, mi, mi--

[ Whispering ]

Me ?

Look out, marshals !

Here comes the flying press !

[ Grunts ]

Youareapathetic excuse

forasoldier, Griswald!

You will never be a leader !

Now, stand at attention until I return !

And do not move a muscle !

Doyou hear me ? Not a muscle !

- Thanks a lot, sis.

- You owe me gas money.

- Okay, Teej, whats this

big secret plot ofyours ?

- Follow me.

Look at that.

Lets get movin out.

- Who are those guys ?

- Perhaps theyre government agents.

- Or gangsters.

- Or aliens.

Aliens ?

They dont look like aliens.

Well, maybe theyre in disguise.

Yeah, ifyou were an alien,

you wouldntjust walk around

in your lizard skin all day.

Hmm. Good point.

Whoever they are, we need

to take a closer look.

- Well get the rest later.

- Right. Ill close it up.

Hurry.

Man, this thing weighs a ton.

Thats cause its full

ofmoon rocks and alien eggs.

Hey, itsjust

a bunch ofpaper.

Weather maps ? Test scores ?

Some stuffwritten in Swedish ?

- Actually, thats Norwegian.

- Whatever. Its all

Just dumb school stuff.

You got me out ofbaseball camp to watch

some guys restock the supply room ?

No ! Somethings going on

in the school ! I swear !

Teej, I thinkyou cooked

this whole thing upjust cause

you wanted us back from camp.

- What ?

- Hey, we understand.

It must be pretty boring around here

all summer byyourself.

Your mind simply created an adventure

because it needed some excitement.

No, it really happened.

I saw Prickly disappear.

Well, if Prickly disappeared,

then whos that ?

- Come on, guys. Lets get back to camp.

- Yeah.

Seeya in a few weeks, Teej.

No, wait !

You guys gotta believe me !

Hey, this is kinda comfy.

Yeah, yeah. Get out ofthere,

you big lummox.

Okay, Teej, you were right. Something

weird is going on in the school.

- And Prickly must be in on it.

- I saywe go to the police.

I alreadywent to the police.

I went to everyone. Nobodyll listen.

- What we need is proof.

- Proof? How are we gonna get proof?

- I got a plan. A stakeout.

- A stakeout ?

We can stay up in my tree house

and watch the school every night

until something happens.

- Like one ofthem TV cop shows.

- Sure.

The next time those laser guys make

a move, well catch em red-handed.

We can take pictures

with my night-vision digital cam.

Then we call in the feds

and, bang, we got em.

Onlyoneproblem--

Oh, yeah. Ifmy dad finds out

Ive gone AWOL, hell throw me

Not to worry. Ill get Becky to drive

Griswald on special assignment tonight.

[ Whispering, Muttering ]

Infrared night vision,

200-to-1 zoom.

I gotta hand it toyou, Gretch. You can

see the whole school with this thing.

You can make lots ofhandy devices out

ofthe spare parts in a familys garage.

I once fashioned

a particle accelerator...

out ofa broken hair dryer

and a four-slice toaster oven.

Tonight, the magical moment

arrived.

We met behind the drive-thru menu

and kissed passionately...

as the sound ofthe deep fat fryer

faded into the night.

Man, I wish I had

an older sister.

Laugh ifyou will.

I think its beautiful.

Sorry Im late, guys, but I had to

wait till my mom and dad fell asleep...
