(upbeat music)

- So Josie has picked Mercury.

A metal that is liquid at room temperature.

It is also easily combustible,

and in some circumstances,

highly volatile.

Excellent choice, Josie.

What element did you choose Corrine?

- Carbon.

- Nature's drill bit.

- You know diamonds are pure carbon.

(mystical music)

- Marshall!

- Huh?

- When the stars exploded,

and formed all the elements on this periodic table.

I don't think there was one called, huh?

Try again, Marshall.

- Okay. I chose-

- Helium.

- Yeah.

It's fun to have at parties, always a gas.

(bell rings)

- Oh.

- Marshall, can I speak to you a moment?

- Yeah, sure. What's up, Professor Z?

- Well, I was about to ask you the same thing, Marshall.

It seems like you're on another planet.

- Oh, I've got a big audition

for Magnet 360 today.

- And Magnet 360 is?

- Only like the best band at our school.

- And do they actually work with magnets?

(bluesy music)

- What are you doing out here Marshall?

Your audition is like, now.

- My brother Grant is coming for a visit.

He's late.

- You never told me he was coming to visit.

Come to think of it.

You never told me you had a brother.

- We share some genetic code.

It's not like either of us had a choice in the matter.

- Well, if you still want help

getting ready for the audition, we'd better hurry.

(Marshall sighs)

(spooky music)

(spooky music intensifies)

(spheres buzz electrically)

(upbeat rock music)

- Okay, so my mom drops me at this boring school.

I'm thinking it's like all the other places I've gone.

Students.

Teachers.

Principal, you know, like normal schools.

But it's not.

Weird stuff happens here.

Really weird stuff.

And what's this guy doing here?

Something's going on and someone's behind it.

And we're gonna get to the bottom of it.

- There's nothing wrong at Blake Holsey High.

(high pitch scream)

(upbeat music)

- What do you think?

Is this the face of the next lead singer for Magnet 360?

- Nobody just wears a t-shirt anymore Marshall.

- They don't.

- No. You have to layer.

Do you have long sleeves?

- Yeah. Somewhere.

- Do you want me to go?

- Hold on a second.

Sure I have the right shirt in here somewhere.

Oh, here it is.

Almost done.

As the French say.

Voila!

- Almost done is right.

- Hey!

- We gotta do something about the do.

Check it out.

Try to remember us little people

when you're fighting back the ladies.

- Hey, I'm not making any promises.

- Hey, what if your brother comes

while you're in the audition?

Do you want me to go out and wait for him?

- Grant hasn't been gone so long,

he can't find his own way around.

- He went to school here?

- Can we not talk about him?

(dramatic music)

Gotta get going.

I'm gonna be late.

(spheres buzz electrically)

- Whoa!

- What are you doing, Marshall?

- Wild guess, but I think I'm floating.

My voice.

How am I gonna be able to audition like this?

- [Lucas] Hey Marshall.

- Go away. We're busy!

- We're busy!

- [Lucas] Too busy to let me into my own room?

Ugh!

- Oh-kay!

What is up with Marshall?

- Could it have to do with the fact

that we attend the only school

with a multidimensional vortex?

- Down. Get me down!

- Nice voice Marshall.

What did you do to yourself?

- I don't know.

- I don't know either.

It just happened out of nowhere.

- You guys gotta help me out.

I have to get to my audition.

(bluesy music)

- Impressive.

Showing up for auditions with your own posse.

- Let's get started.

We have a lot of people to see.

- We'll just be one second guys.

(guitar strums)

- So you guys are Magnet 360.

(guitar riffs)

What an attractive name.

Attractive.

Magnet.

Get it?

(guitar strums)

- Hey, Wheeler.

You ready or what?

(rock music plays)

- Hold on. Hold on.

Wheeler?

As in Grant Wheeler.

(music stops)

As in Grant Wheeler? Yes or no?

- Yes.

Marshall and Grant are brothers.

- Why didn't you tell us?

Grant Wheeler is a legend around this place.

My older brother played with him.

Keyboards and lead vocals for the one and only-

- [Guys Together] Pulverize!

- Hottest band this school ever saw.

If he's 1/10th as good as Grant.

Little brothers a lock.

(spheres buzz electrically)

- Guys I'm not my brother, all right.

I'm Marshall.

(Marshall coughs)

- Dude's having an off day.

You wanna reschedule?

- No, no. I'm fine.

(dramatic music)

- Maybe talent doesn't run in the family.

(dramatic music intensifies)

- Professor Z, you're not going to believe it.

- Something's happened to-

- Marshall?

- How did you know?

- Well, let's just say that

discovering his atomic model

hovering above his desk

was my first clue.

Huh?

- Wait, didn't that used to be helium?

That would explain the floating.

And the squeaky voice.

- I can't believe I just demoed Will and Jaren's mike stand.

The only reason they're even giving me

another chance to audition,

is because I'm Grant Wheeler's brother.

(dramatic music)

- I'm almost afraid to ask

how you just did that, Marshall.

- Oh, great. This is a disaster.

I rust out everything I touch.

- Oxygen combines with iron

over time to make?

- Ferrous oxide.

- Rust.

- I don't want to alarm anyone unduly.

But first the model was Helium

and Marshall was floating, correct?

Now the model has become oxygen.

And so is Marshall.

- And if Marshall's moving from helium to oxygen,

he's moving up the periodic table.

- Hey, maybe somewhere along the way turn into platinum.

They've definitely gotta let you into the band,

if you go platinum.

- Lucas, at the rate Marshall's going,

he could end up here.

Uranium.

- You're right, Josie.

And a Marshall Wheeler's weight of uranium?

- Would give off enough radiation

to kill everyone in the entire school.

(dramatic music intensifies)

(spheres buzz electrically)

(upbeat music)

- What we're looking for

is a pattern in all this.

Something that might have caused

Marshall's progression up the periodic table.

- Well, it started happening after science class.

You turned to helium

while you're getting ready for your audition.

- And understandably feeling quite nervous.

- And then you switch from helium to oxygen,

after you ruined your audition.

- Yeah. Thanks for reminding me.

So?

- So what I think Professor Z

is trying to tell you Marshall,

is that music means a lot to you.

- Maybe all you're stressing over Magnet 360 is what's mak-

- This isn't about the band, all right.

- Well maybe if you tell us what is going on, Marshall,

we could help.

(cars engine revs)

- Oh great.

The late great Grant Wheeler has finally arrived.

(rock music)

(car engine revs)

- That's your brother?

- Marshall, how come you never told us

your brother was so-

- Hot!

- [Josie] So?

(girls chatter and laugh)

- [Lucas] Uh oh.

- Uh oh. No that's not it.

No, I mean, uh oh

as in look at Marshall.

- [Corrinne] You look like a neon sign Marshall.

(dramatic music)

- The models changed again too.

(spheres buzz electrically)

Judging by its structure.

Not to mention Marshall's glow.

He's become neon.

Two steps closer to uranium.

- What am I gonna do?

- Well, I don't think it's wise

for you to see your brother like this.

Can someone go outside and keep Grant busy

until we figure out how to reverse Marshall's condition?

- I, I, I will, yeah.

- I wouldn't want you to go alone,

so I'll come with you.

- Okay.

- A tad bit eager, or is it just me?

I'd better go with them

in case one of them hyperventilates and passes out.

- Seems your brother's having an effect

on the chemistry here at Blake Holsey, Marshall.

Quite an effect, wouldn't you say?

(dramatic music)

- I'm always happy to see

one of my favorite students, Grant.

Even if it's just for a short visit.

And especially one who's done so well

in his future endeavors.

The staff always knew that you were going to excel.

- Doing my best to uphold the tradition

this place taught me.

- Well.

Just let me know if there's anything else

that I can do for you,

to make your stay with us more productive.

Oh, Vaughn.

Will you show Mr. Wheeler

where to find his brother Marshall?

Good to see you.

- Likewise.

Grant Wheeler.

- You have your name on a few of those.

I'm Vaughn, one of Marshall's friends.

- Marshall has a lot of friends?

- Yeah, sure.

I could take you to him if you-

- After we give you a welcome back tour of the school Grant.

- Actually didn't graduate that long ago.

I think I still know my way around.

- Oh no, we couldn't let you.

- Absolutely not.

- Josie, Marshall's at the how-

- Let's go. - Come on.

- [Lucas] Aside from Marshall,

what brings you to Blake Holsey High Grant?

- [Grant] I'm a interviewing for a summer internship

at a company close by.

- [Lucas] Really?

- [Josie] A summer internship?

- [Corrinne] At a company close by?

- [Josie] That will look so good on your resume.

- [Corrinne] Really great experience

towards future work opportunities.

- Yeah.

Look, um.

Who are all you guys exactly?

- Corrinne Baxter.

- Josie Trent.

- Lucas Randall.

- And you're all friends of Marshalls?

- Oh of course we're friends.

- Of course, totally.

- Isn't this where the tour started?

(Marshalls friends chatter nervously)

(slow dramatic music)

- Don't worry Marshall.

I'm sure we'll think of something.

After all, an aptitude for chemistry

runs in your family right?

- Part of the family.

Grants the one with the brains.

And the looks and the talent.

- Yeah.

- And the-

- From what I hear,

your brother won the Zuckerman Science Olympics

twice while attending Blake Holsey.

- Another thing that he's done better than me!

(spheres buzz electrically)

- Nope, nope, nope. Okay.

Thanks guys.

Thank you.

I really wanna go find my brother now.

- Hey, have you seen the new tree?

- Yep. They planted a new tree out by the parking lot.

You should see it.

It's, it's really very-

- Green?

- So you've seen it?

- Why are you guys trying to keep me away from Marshall?

Did he put you up to this?

- No. It's just a tour.

- Come on, let's go.

(EDM music)

(loud boom)

- I smell like a swimming pool.

What is happening to me?

- I'm afraid you've become chlorine.

- What made that happen?

- You did!

I think we've made a connection

between your feelings about your brother

and your newly volatile relationship with the elements

of the periodic table.

- We have?

- And I don't think it has anything

to do with magnets or music, does it?

I didn't think so.

But-

If you've become chlorine,

(spheres buzz electrically)

what's that other one?

- Oh, my.

I'm covered in-

What is this?

- Don't panic, we can explain.

- You can explain this?

- No.

We better get Z.

(dramatic music)

- You must be sodium.

I, I mean Marshall's brother.

- And you are?

- Professor Zachary.

- I think there's someone you should see.

(spheres buzz electrically)

- Will somebody please tell me what's going on here?

- After.

For now, maybe we should leave you two alone.

You two need to talk.

(slow dramatic music)

- Are you sure they should be together?

- I have a theory.

- What's happening to me Marshall?

- Same thing that's happening to me.

We're becoming uranium.

- How?

- According to Professor Z,

there's bad chemistry between us.

- Bad chemistry? About what?

- Look, you've been this way with me

since last summer, Marshall.

What's going on?

Is this because I broke that stupid keyboard of yours.

- Stupid?

- That's why I've become sludge?

Your stupid keyboard!

- See, there you go again.

It's always about you.

I worked two whole summers,

to save up money for that stupid keyboard.

- I didn't know it was so important.

- That's the thing, Grant.

Whenever it comes to how I feel,

you, you never worry.

- I said I was sorry.

- No you didn't.

- [Grant] Of course I did.

- Well, you didn't mean it.

- Look, I've said I'm sorry.

Okay, so what, what's this really about?

- At this weight,

they're both gonna have a nuclear meltdown.

(spheres buzz electrically)

- Grant, since you've been here,

I feel like I've been living in your shadow.

Everybody loves you.

- Your friends led me in circles

around the school this morning

'cause they thought that that might help you, Marshall.

And you're complaining to me.

Me.

People like my music.

Ah sure the teachers like me,

but I never had real friends like that.

- Get outta here. Of course you did.

- Now I was popular,

but there's a difference.

I could never get beyond them

liking me for what I could do with a keyboard

or how many trophies I won.

None of them knew me.

I was always jealous of the great friends

you could make just by being who you were.

Even when we were kids.

Yeah.

Today just proves nothing's changed.

- Why, why didn't you say something?

- Probably for the same reason

we never really talked before now.

We thought we knew how the other guy was feeling.

- [Marshall] Look.

(spheres buzz electrically)

Alkaline metals always form

one to one compounds with halogens.

Your sodium atom is giving electrons to my chlorine atom.

- Making sodium chloride.

- Table salt.

Two unstable atoms combined to make a stable molecule.

Do it again.

(Grant laughs)

- No, no, no, no, no.

You got it all wrong, man.

It's like this.

(Grant and Marshall grunt and laugh)

(spheres buzz and explode)

- So this is what brothers do when they're alone.

- Little brotherly bonding

from the looks of the atomic models.

- You'll be happy to know that,

Marshall and I are finally back on the same page.

- Not to mention atomic number.

- But if you think that means this is over,

think again.

- Ah, you are so dead.

(Marshall groans)

- This is so awesome.

You're the new lead singer of Magnet 360.

- Hey, and I'm not forgetting who helped me get there.

Thanks.

- Gotta go Marsh.

I'll give you a call when it gets settled.

- Does this mean that if you ace this job interview,

you'll be moving here?

- We'll see. But that's a plan, man.

That's my future boss.

- Victor Pearson?

- Yeah, it's the guy I'm interviewing with.

- What would you be doing for him?

- Not too sure.

It's a starting position at Paradigm Industries.

- Paradigm.

- Victor's starting up Paradigm Labs,

and my brother may be employee zero.

- That that could be a good thing.

Or not.

(dramatic music)

(fireworks explode)

(rock music)

? Oh, oh, oh ?

? Oh yeah ?

? Oh, oh, oh, oh yeah ?

? Oh, oh, oh, oh ?

? Oh yeah ?
