Oh, I'm sure they will.

It's... it's a great cause.

Great. Well, I'll catch you guys later.

Well, then I hope you

have a really big glove.

Oh, so you can catch us.

Okay.

There's going to be a dance?

This world just gets better and better.

Yeah, until your formerly

adorable boyfriend

starts acting like a

completely different person.

Trust me, Lela, you're

better off in your world,

where boys are simple and reliable.

- Mack!

- Oh, hi.

Uh, hi.

- This is, umm...

- Lela.

I'm here to discover who

I am and find fulfillment.

A woman that knows what

she wants. I like her.

I did my philosophy camp thesis

on female self-empowerment.

I can rebuild a motorcycle.

Really? I'm looking into buying a scooter.

I'd love your perspective on

engine torque differentials.

Oh, I can go on and on about torque!

Oh, bye, Mack!

It's a disaster.

She loves everything.

Even Mr. Terry's chemistry class.

She titrated her sodium hydroxide perfectly

and loved the way the resulting

solution matched her shoes.

Well, I think I'm wearing

down Tanner a little.

Nuggets made out of chicken?

Amazing!

Or not.

Don't worry, I have a plan.

We turn them loose, alone,

in the most dangerous,

confusing, scary place imaginable.

A place where one false move

results in exile, shame, horror...

Wait,

wh... where?

The cafeteria.

Okay.

- Hi, we're new here.

- I could care less, spray-tan.

Actually, it's Tanner.

No spray, add an "er". Tanner.

Tanner Lewis ready danger.

Oh, no, I...

Wha... I...

I mea...

I w... th... b...

Get out of my face.

Tanner, are you getting the impression

that people here are a little

stand-offish and, well, meanish?

Right? And angryish, too.

Like the bikers and

surfers, only angryisher.

Why is everyone sitting apart?

Well, come on, everyone.

Where's your smile?

It's so easy, anyone can do it.

It's attached to you, here on your face.

There are 43 muscles to use.

I'm really sorry my face hurt your fist.

That's okay. Now I know you exist.

Hey, haven't I seen you in class?

Yes, every day... this year and last.

It's pretty cool how you wail on the bass.

What's happening to my face?

We will never speak of this ever again.

Bye!

Okay, what is going on here?

It's like we're bored or something.

- We's not bored, Butchy. We's confused.

- Yeah.

- Spit it out.

- Spit it out.

- Spit it out.

- Spit it out!

Look!

One of them surfer guys

who's always standing

behind us and never says

nothing, he just up and...

just sparkled up and vanished...

Into thin airs!

Like a magician...

Doing a magic trick... on himself.

Dude, you got some bodacious pipes.

You totally have to be in my surf band.

I play a gnarlacious didgeridoo.

Thanks! Why are we talking so loudly?

- Later, my hombre.

- See you later! Okay!

Oh, Lela. Hi. Um...

Wanna hang out? I've been

working on some new looks.

Check 'em out. I call this

one thoughtful handsome.

This one's soulful smolder.

Those are wonderful,

Tanner, but I can't.

We have calculus

homework. It's so exciting.

Oh. Oh, okay. Uh, well,

have fun...

Without me.

We're further than ever from

talking them into going back.

You watch Lela, I'll watch Tanner.

I learned all these new things,

and then I was sitting there,

and I'm like, "hey, why

don't I make a new look?"

So, I made a new look, and it

was renegade rebel, you know?

And then... what was the

other one? I can't think of what it was.

Oh, yeah. Mysterious wanderer.

And then, uh, thinking guy.

- Here. Check this out.

- Oh, thanks. Mm.

Oh. Hi, medium-sized me.

Still looking good.

- Brady, can I talk to you for a second?

- Yeah, sure.

Um, I've been thinking about things.

And I don't normally like

to think about things.

You see...

I always assumed Lela

would just be there for me.

But...

That night when she ran into

the water with her necklace,

it gave me this strange

feeling in my stomach.

It felt like, like when I drink

a milkshake too fast.

It felt like, like things,

might not work out.

It's called worry.

Yeah, yeah. That.

And, the thing is, things

always work out for me.

But, here, now, I... I

still have that feeling.

- Worry?

- Yeah. Yeah.

I'm worried that Lela

wanted to come to this

strange world because I

wasn't enough for her.

Yeah.

I mean, I guess all you can really do

is be the best dude you can

be and hope that's enough.

Is that what you do with Mack?

Um, not... not

recently, no.

We kind of hit a rough patch.

I've been working on something

I haven't told her about yet.

What is it?

Come on.

Are these surfboards?

Yeah. They're all

surfboards, but prototypes.

Like this one. It has rotating fins,

so you can surf in any direction.

Or this one. It's one of my favorites.

It's my surfboard suitcase.

So, you fold up your

board, put it in your bag,

and it goes up in the

carry-on, then, when you land,

- you're ready to surf.

- That is so cool!

- Yeah.

- Wait, y... so, you made all this stuff?

Uh-huh.

I've never made anything.

What's all this stuff?

This one's crazy.

So, you have two water intakes that

leads to the sealed hydro-turbine

that also goes to an

internal lithium ion battery.

Then, we have a pneumatic actuator

that's connected to this hatch,

that makes it open whenever I want it to.

Uh, everything you just said,

I have no idea what it means.

Basically, this surfboard

doesn't need any waves.

Well, that is, if it works.

That's so cool.

Why can't you tell Mack?

Because... I don't think she'll get it.

You know, me spending so

much time on surfboards.

She's got her whole life mapped

out. She wants to go to college.

College?

What's it...

where is it... what's

a... where's a college?

It's far away.

And it's full of

impressive people, like her.

It's... it's not a place

where a guy like me

could get around by making surfboards.

I understand, Brady.

Maybe the problem is that

you're not tan enough.

Mack, I never knew I could be so happy.

I mean, I love it all,

the challenging classes, the

interesting conversations,

the flavored lip gloss.

I mean, really. Triple vanilla kiwi berry?

I never even knew there

was more than one vanilla.

- Can I...

- Yeah.

Uh, Lela, here's the thing. Our

world isn't really all that great.

Oh, there's finals, and

taxes, and global warming,

and hangnails, and public restrooms.

You really had it good back in your world.

You don't have to worry about your

future or picking the right college.

You have a boy that loves you.

You have a boy that loves you.

Right? And you want more than that, right?

You want to live life to the fullest.

I want that, too.

But, Lela, being with the right person

can actually make life more full.

If you have the same

passion, the same drive.

Or, maybe that doesn't help at all.

You know, maybe he just

has to respect your passion

and not keep secrets from you

and get weird when you're busy.

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

all pretty confusing here,
