Oh! Why, yes, I do have a big test today.

And, of course, as every test-taker knows,

there's one thing you cannot do without.

Why, it's no secret.

A pencil.

Anumber

why, this baby has done me right all year.

I would not be caught dead in a test without this!

Boy: Force field, force field.

Force field, force field.

Hello, Douglas.

I saved your usual seat in the forward quadrant, old buddy.

Thanks, old buddy.

So, mordecai, are you fully prepared

for the trigonaculus test today?

If by that you mean, did I bringold lucky, then maybe

this your question.

[Dexter gasps]

Dexter: Beautiful!

Look at the size of it!

It must have seen a hundred tests!

It's vintage 1990.

Good year!

[Laughing]

Nice hat, geek.

Har har! Sticks and stones--

look, Gwen. Dexter has a purse.

It is a manly backpack.

And you can tell by the official NASA patch.

Eh, I think I'll keep it anyhow.

Go ahead. I have memorized every paragraph of info in those books

in prep for the trig test.

Hey, Becky.

Don'tyou that test today, too?

Why, yes, I believe I do.

Well, then,

you'll need a...

Number 2 pencil!

Return that instrument!

It belongs to me.

Oh, yeah? Then come and get it, shrimp.

Gladly.

[Yelling]

Becky, catch.

Oops!

[Kids cheering]

Jump! Jump! Jump!

You go, Dexter!

You can get it! Jump!

Careful of the instrument!

[Kids mumbling]

Kids: Oh, no! The back of the bus!

Just let it go, Dexter. Maybe you can use a pen.

[Sighs defiantly]

Kids: No, don't do it!

Don't do it, Dexter. It's not worth it.

It's too close tothe darkness.

This is ridiculous.

I am not scared of some old superstition.

I am a man of science. This is bogus.

Boy, German accent: Oh, no,

it's true.

[Chomp]

I'll tell you just what happened.

Little Billy blumberg was just horsing about

and eating cookies. Mmm...

Then bus hit a bump,

and Billy spill his hot cocoa.

Mmm...

[Screaming]

Driver panic

and almost hit ice cream truck.

Mmm...

Angry driver send Billy

to back of bus.

And Billy, his screams

melt with sound of hungry monster.

[Maniacal laughter]

Girl: Nuh-uh, that's not what happened.

My mom knew Billy,

and I know what really happened.

Girl, voice-over: Little Billy was a mean kid.

Once he saw a cute spider,

and he smushed it.

With the spider's last breath, he called for help.

Thousands of tiny spiders came from nowhere

and wrapped him in a web

and dragged him off to the back of the bus

to lay him before the giant spider queen.

[Screaming]

[Screaming]

Hey.

This fabrication is totally unsubstantiated.

I'll fill you in on the real incident.

There he was, in the back of the bus,

minding his own business,

when an inter-dimensional time lord opened a hole

in the space-time continuum.

Hi.

[Gurgling noises]

Little Billy held onto his seat as long as he could,

but a bipolar tachyon vortex sucked him into a time egg.

[Screaming]

Oh, please!

This is all superstition.

None of this is proven.

A simple scientific investigation will solve this.

[Roaring from back of bus]

Gwen: What's the matter, pipsqueak? You scared?

This is ridiculous.

I'm going in!

Dexter's log.

Various school supplies seemed to be cocooned

in this strange, sticky pink goo.

[Rumble]

Aah!

[Roaring]

[Roaring]

Aah!

Here. You dropped this.

Hey there, youngster. Name's bill.

You are little Billy blumberg?

Well, that's right, little chap.

Of course, no one calls me "little" no more.

Wha-what are you doing back here?

Ho ho! Heck, that happened way back when I was about your age.

Oh, I just fell asleep

with my chewing gum in my mouth. It fell out, stuck my hair to the chair.

I struggled to get free,

and my shoe flew off, and it broke the light.

Of course, the more I struggled, the more I got stuck.

And I've been here for 30 years.

Huh?

And how have you been surviving all these years?

Well, I guess I was pretty lucky that my shoe flew off

'cause then my toenails could grow out,

and then when scraps of food would roll to the back,

I could rake 'em in.

I'll tell you,

you kids eat the worst junk.

Mmm. Chocolate.

So, did you come to rescue me, big guy?

Uh, yeah. I suppose I could cut you free.

With my laser pen.

Oh, yeah.

Feels good.

Oh, I don't know how I could ever repay you.

Kids,

I'd like you to meet little Billy.

Hey, kiddos!

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

Dexter: And Billy, I'd like you to meet Becky and Gwen.

Hi. Hi.

Billy: Pleased to meet ya.

Dexter: They're the two, bill.

Even?

Even.

Hey! No, wait!

I never got my pencil back!

Pencil?

You know, you raked it in right before I found you.

Oh! Uh...That wasn't a licorice stick?

Licorice! Mmm.

[Laughing]
