It's gonna be okay, Craig.

11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,000
We just got to retrace our steps from yesterday.

12
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
It's not like your math homework just grew legs and walked off.

13
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,000
So this ain't it? That's a caterpillar, JP,

Oh, it's got to be around here somewhere!

17

Okay. That's a pH level of three.

18
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Wren, are you getting that?

19
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Yeah, yeah. Hey!

20
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,000
This is a highly controlled environment.

21
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Get your foot out of the creek!

22
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Sorry!

23
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Um, have you guys seen a piece of paper with some math on it?

24
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
What are we talking about here?

25
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Calculus? Statistics?

26
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,000
It's a worksheet, about decimals.

27
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000
No gold star on it yet [Chuckles] but there will be.

28
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Have you seen it?

29
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
I know where your papers are!

30
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
You do?

31
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
You see, all matter is simply an assembly

32
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
of subatomic particles

33
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000
that arrange and rearrange themselves

34

into all possible matter in existence!

35
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,000
The atoms that were once created in a star,

36
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,000
now make up the atoms in -- umm -- this leaf!

37
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,000
I don't...

38
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Therefore, if everything is everything,

39
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,000
then this leaf is your math homework!

40
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Uh, I don't think you're getting that gold star, Craig.

41
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000
Wren, come on, we need to find out

42
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
who's peeing in the creek, not solve string theory!

43
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Oh, actually, I think I saw a worksheet over there.

44
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000
There it is!

45
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Okay, it's due tomorrow,

46
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000
but at least this leaves me tonight to work on it.

47
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Huh? What is it?

48
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Someone filled in all the answers.

49
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
They're all correct?

50
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Who would do this? Hmm.

51
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Clearly, an elven mathlete has chosen Craig

52
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,000
to be his apprentice.

53
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,000
You'll probably have to live in the woods now.

54
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Aww, I'm so jealous.

55
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,000
You're gonna get to eat bark and take a bride who's a deer.

56
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Wait! Wait, there's -- there's something written on the back.

57
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000
What does it say? I can't read it.

58
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000
It's written all weird.

59
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Yeah, look at that writing.

60
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,000
We got elves for sure, you guys!

61
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Let me see.

62
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Similar to elven, but no, this is cursive!

63
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000
I recognize it from my bubbie's birthday cards.

64

"I did your homework. Hope you don't mind.

65
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Pretty tough stuff." And it's signed "Helen."

66
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,000
"Helen"? Well, that doesn't sound like a name for an elf.

67
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,000
More like a stay-at-home nurse.

68
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Yes, it's old-fashioned. I like it!

69
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Well, it was really nice of Helen to do that.

70
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000
I should write her a thank-you note.

71
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Hello, Helen.

72
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,000
I'm Craig.

73
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Thank you so much for doing my homework.

74
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000
I'd like to give you a Choco-Roll as thanks.

75
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,000

76
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000

00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Hey, Craig, thanks for reading out loud

80
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,000
so we all felt included.

81
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Okay, guys, let's meet back here first thing after school.

82
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Maybe we'll get to see Helen in person.

83
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
I don't know, I guess I just felt like,

84
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,000
I found the rat, I should be allowed to touch it.

85

Adults! Am I right?

86
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Hey, Craig. Where's Helen?

87
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000
I don't know. We must've just missed her.

88
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,000
But she left another note.

89
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Give it here.

I left my house as soon as my school lessons ended."

93
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Wait. She left her house?

94
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,000
"I would've come sooner, but my mom's a strict teacher."

95
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Her mom's the teacher?

96

What on Earth is that girl talking about?!

103

None of that made any sense.

The ancient handwriting, mom teachers, no Choco-Rolls.

105
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Maybe we should just ask someone what's going on.

106
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000
I think the explanation is obvious.

107
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
This Helen must live in another dimension!

108
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,000
ALL: Another dimension?

109

Yeah, I don't know about that.

110
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Yeah, I'm a little skeptical.

111
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Yeah, me too, and I believe everything.

112
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Allow me to explain.

113
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Normally alternate dimensions exist apart from each other,

114

115
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,000
But I believe that clearing has somehow become a gateway,

116
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000
a rift in time and space that's allowing your letters

117
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000
to travel back and forth and back and forth

118
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,000
and back and forth between our dimension and hers!

119
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Oh, sweet Sagan.

Someone's got her yapping about multiple dimensions again.

I'll help however I can.

00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Do you have a trading tree in your dimension?

136
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
It's this huge oak tree in our world

where you can come trade stuff.

138
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,000

I know that oak tree. I call it the ghost-town tree.

141
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,000
I always sensed there must've been kids there once,

142
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,000
but in my world, it's an abandoned wasteland.

143

It's probably for the best.

I'm a little shy around lots of other kids.

145
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,000
I'm always afraid they'll think I'm too...different.

146

Being different here is more than welcome.

147
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000

It can be lonely at my creek,

but that's the best part, if you ask me.
