Upside Down

The universe...

So full of wonders...

I could spend hours and hours looking up at the sky.

So many stars, so many mysteries...

And there's one very special star

that makes me think of one very special person.

Now let me tell you my story.

At the dawn of time,

from the chaos,

came an exception.

One of the most mysterious secrets of the universe.

You see, I come from that very mysterious and unique place.

We are the only known solar system with double gravity.

Two twin planets whirling together around one sun

but each with its own and opposite gravity.

Now, in our world it's possible to fall up

and to rise down.

But... my story, it's about love.

Some people say that true lovers are one soul

that is separated when it's born.

And those two halves will always yearn to find their way back together.

Well, to understand my story,

you're gonna need to know the three basic laws of double gravity.

All matter, every single object

is pulled by the gravity of the world that it comes from, and not the other.

An object's weight can be offset using matter from the opposite world:

inverse-matter.

The problem is:

After a few hours of contact, matter in contact with inverse-matter

...burns.

All these laws are as old as the universe itself.

They're are unchangeable, and there are no exceptions.

Gravity...

They say you can't fight it.

Well, I disagree.

What if love was stronger than gravity?

Now let's go back to the dark times

when any contact between worlds was extremely dangerous

and totally forbidden.

Up top had grown rich and prosperous

while here, down below,

we stole inverse-metal from up top to heat our homes and to survive

risking everything,

even our own lives.

I think he's dead.

Hey! Police!

They only authorized contact between worlds is through TransWorld,

a giant corporation up top,

created to take cheap oil from down below

and to sell back to us overpriced electricity

that we couldn't afford.

Because of TransWorld, I grew up in an orphanage.

You see, my parents died in the Big Blast,

a TransWorld oil refinery explosion that destroyed much of the city.

Fortunately, there were the weekends.

They let me visit my great aunt Becky,

my only surviving relative.

As well as Becky, there were two things that I truly loved:

model airplanes and Becky's flying pancakes.

Going to have to get me some more pink pollen tomorrow.

Okay, sweetie?

Becky also initiated me into an ancient knowledge

passed down over the generations to the women of our family...

Now catch!

The secret of the pink bees.

Becky, how do they do that?

It's all in this book.

It was passed down to my mother from hers.

And, of course, I would have given it to your mother.

One day, when you grow up, it'll be yours..

Becky would often sent me to gather pink pollen from the Sage Mountains.

This was the only place, and a forbidden place,

where pink bees could be found.

Bees that fed of flowers from both worlds

and without whom this story could never have happened.

But I have a little secret of my own...

I used to go chase inverse-rain from up top.

(WHISTLING WIND AND SOFT THUNDER)

One day I went much further than usual,

climbing higher and higher above the cloud line.

And that day... that day...

changed my life...

...forever.

Hey!

Hi!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey, where have you been? I've been waiting ages for you.

Our neighbors got robbed.

They're saying it was a thief from down below.

There's hunters with guns and border patrol trucks.

Are you serious?

Don't make that face!

I made it here, right?

Look, as long as you're okay...

Hey, look, I'll throw it up!

- Alright, ready? - Alright right, Adam!

Are you tied on?

- I'm done! - Yeah?

Okay, I pull you down!

Don't drop me!

You know, these ones from up top are so good...

- They're the best. - Yeah, they are. They're amazing.

Oh, wait. I got something for you, too...

And this is from both worlds.

What is it?

I can't tell you. You gotta close your eyes.

Close your eyes!

Come on, like 'closed' closed!

- I closed! - Alright.

- Are they closed? - Uhmm.

Okay, open your mouth.

I can't reach!

Mmh...

How is that from both worlds?

I don't know, you should probably ask the bees.

I don't know.

Imagine if we could go anywhere we wanted to.

I mean, really...

I can imagine that...

- Hey, you know what? - What?

Well, we can.

Come on, let's imagine we can, let's go down!

Are you holding on?

- Ready! - Three, two, one...

Go!

Alright, I go down.

- You're holding on? - Yeah.

Don't you let my legs go!

I got it, I got it!

- Okay, let it spin! Whoa! - Whooo!

I've got my eyes closed.

Look at the branch, whoa.

- We gonna go again? - Uhum.

- It's the biggest one ever. - Alright, I'm ready.

- You hold on? - Yeah.

Coming down!

Alright.

- Are you okay? - Uhum.

Okay, mind if we go for another spin?

Yeah, let's get really high, let's get even higher than that.

Okay, yeah. Ready?

Did you hear that?

Yeah.

We should go.

He's there! Let's get him!

Quick, Adam!

Eden!

Eden!

Oh no!

No! No, please!

- Becky! - No!

- Becky, I'm sorry! (SCREAMING) - No!

Becky!

No, no! No!

- Becky! - Adam!

You did nothing wrong! Nothing!

Becky!

No, Becky!

Please, no! No!

Becky!

10 YEARS LATER

Adam, come on, stop!

Come on, make us a plane!

Oh, I can't. I can't.

I gotta go to work.

Come on!

I gotta go to work. I'll do it later!

Hey, Mr. Jones!

TransWorld...

...you've got to play to win!

- Hello, Albert. - Mrs. Nathanson.

- What do you have for me? - Inverse-matter to pay my debts.

Will this cover it?

My husband says it's stainless steel.
