Please stop!

Do the scientists really know? Will it really happen today?

It's supposed to

What time?

At 12:15 sharp...

...give or take a few seconds

I wonder what it's gonna be like

Probably like the last time stupid!

Oh!

What was it like last time?

How am I supposed to know, I was just a kid

I'm a little scared

Me too

So am I

What are you all so scared about?

Nothing happened to us last time, right?

We're still here, right?

What do you think you're doing?

Can you hear it? It's letting up

Listen! No it's not!

Besides, Mrs. Callahan put me in charge

She told me to make sure that everyone goes under the lamps...and that includes you!

But the sun's coming out today

So what?

So we don't need them

Yes we do, we always need them

Well not when we have the sun...

Don't you know what the sun does?

Yes, I know what the sun does...

but that doesn't mean that you don't have to go under the lamps just like everybody else

You think you're special just 'cause you're born on Earth?

What is it William?

What is it that can't wait til I get to class?

Margo won't go under the lamps

Well why not Margo?

Mrs. Callahan...

Today I want to wait for the real sun!

I want to talk to you for a moment Margo

Will the rest of you get ready for class?

You got a lot to do before the big event

Alone William!

I can't believe it's really gonna happen

Margo...

I know how much you've been looking forward to this, but...

Don't let your hopes get too high

You know sometimes nature can be fickle

It's been nine years since the sun paid it's last visit

And then it was only for an hour!

Well I don't care if it's only for a minute

I understand how you feel

But you still must go under the lamps!

Do I have to?

Yes

I insist

There you go, just like the real sun

No it's not!

How do you know?

Cause I remember

No you don't! Nobody remembers!

I do

Margo...Why are you hiding that, it's beautiful!

I don't know. It's not exactly the way I want it to be

Mrs. Cal...

Class!

I want you all to look at this

Margo, tell everyone about your painting

Well, I tried to make it...

how it looked when I lived on Earth...

in Ohio

There was sun all the time

I can still see it, but...

I just can't paint it right

How lucky you are to have lived on Earth long enough to remember the sun so vividly

Now we have to keep our fingers crossed for the rain to stop

and for our sun to shine on our planet

so that we have lovely memories too

Just like the Earth,we're the only planet

that can sustain life in our solar system

because our sun is close enough to keep us warm

Mmmm...

Paula!

Um...

Our sun is mostly made of hydrogen and helium

and the center of it rises to...

twenty-thousand degrees

Count again Paula! Count your zeros

Oh! Twenty-million degrees!

No, I don't think so Paula

according to my calculations, it's exactly

Twenty-million-three-hundred and one thousand degrees

Paula, what would we do without Michael?

William?

William, it's your turn!

What?

We were talking about the sun

Oh yeah...

Uhhh...

Th-The sun is made of...two gases

One is hydrogen...

Nevermind!

Margo?

Hey, I'm not done!

William...

You know you're supposed to contribute something new about the sun

and not repeat what has already been said

Now please pay attention

Margo?

The sun is like a flower...

that blooms for just one hour...

and, fills our world with light...

and leaves us feeling bright

Oh that's lovely Margo!

Did you write it?

Yeah! It's a poem

It's just lovely!

Margo? Do you wanna take a look outside?

Thanks!

Oh, doesn't look like it's going to stop

Matter of fact, looks to me like it's coming down even harder!

Right Michael?

Oh yes

Precisely 1.5 times harder than it was an hour ago

But we still have almost two hours

Well I say it's not going to stop...

I say the sun's not going to come out at all!

William?

Why do you hate me so much?

Why?

Because you're such a know-it-all!

You may have Mrs. Callahan fooled...

but you don't have me fooled for one second!

You've never seen the sun! You've never, ever seen it!

Still think it's gonna stop?

Michael...

Paula...

Mary...

and Lisa

Margo...

you still have a little time left

Alright children...

I want you to pay attention this is very important!

Open up your sun kits...

and take out this green visor

and I want you to wear this visor at all times

Now put it on your heads

C'mon

Very good

Now...do you all have this green tube in your kit?

This creme will protect our skin from the harmful rays of the sun

William...

would you please put on your...

Thank you

Alright now, take the top off of the tube...

Apply it generously to the palm of your hand...

Rub it in

Everyone doing that?

Put it on your face

Miss Callahan?

your neck

Miss Callahan!

What is it William?

I hate to say this but, I don't think we'll be needing any of this junk!

That may be true William...

but if the sun comes out...

What do you mean if?

Don't you believe it's gonna happen?

Don't you?

No, she doesn't

Well I don't care what anybody thinks!

Will...

Margo, I...

How do you feel now, bigshot?

I guess the scientists were wrong this time

Well what do we do now?

I don't know, I...

I hadn't planned any other activities

Margo?

Margo!...

I'm sorry Margo...

I really am

That's ok Paula...

I just wish you could've seen it

What's all that?

Eh, just stuff from when I lived on Earth

Is that a butterfly?

Uh-huh, it's a Monarch

I've never seen a real one before

You need the sun to have 'em

What's that?

A flower

I mean, it WAS a flower

My mom used to grow hundreds of them in our back yard

Margo?

What's it like when the sun comes out?

Well...

the clouds separate...

and there's music from the birds and crickets

and you feel like running and spinning until you're dizzy

and it's hard to catch your breath

It is?

Because you're so happy

Mmmm...

Margo...

Do you ever wish you could go back?

Sometimes...

but not now

I wish I coulda seen it...the way it used to be

It's too crowded there now

Can you hear it?

What?

Listen!

I don't hear anything

Listen!

The rain! The rain's stopping!

It's gonna happen!

It's gonna happen!

The sun's really gonna come out!

Aren't you excited?

Well isn't anybody excited?

Where's Mrs. Callahan?

Around

She went looking for you

I'll go find her

Oh, my sun kit!

Hey! You can't do that! That's not fair

It's just a joke, we're gonna let her out in a few minutes

Right Rain-brain?

That's right...

We're just having a little fun... simply a harmless diversion, nothing more

William!!

William!

Let me out!

It stopped William!!

It really stopped

Let me out

They were right!

William!

Let me out!

William!

William! Let me out William!

I told them not to go outside without me

Margo!

Where's Margo?!

Ask him!

It was only a joke!

I meant it to be a joke!

Michael, tell her

Go ahead, tell her

Michael! It was a joke!

Where is she?

You saw the sun
