Space Pups

Five more minutes, Computer.

Warning, ship entering a meteor shower.

What?

Computer, repeat.

Warning, ship entering a meteor shower.

A meteor shower?

That's what I said.

Perhaps a visit to the ship's infirmary

for a hearing test is needed.

My ears are fine, Computer.

Whoa, so are my eyes!

Computer, take evasive action.

Warning, critical hit.

Oh, what are we gonna do?

I have initiated wake up protocol.

Wait, no, don't wake up the captain.

And why not?

Captain Ace, Arcee!

You're awake.

What's going on?

Well, I was taking a quick nap

and this media shower came out of nowhere and...

Oh.

Arcee, can you get us outta this mess?

On it.

I'm sorry, I really messed up.

It's okay, Hex.

We'll get through this.

Look, a shooting star.

Yeah, that's 'cause there's a big meteor shower tonight.

I know that, but how did you know that?

I may have taken a peek at your star site.

You did, did you?

So this was planned?

Well, I figured this would be the perfect way

to start our summer in our new house.

You are so sweet.

Isn't this amazing, Sam?

Wow.

I haven't actually seen that many stars in the sky before.

That's 'cause you've never been out of the city.

Look, another shooting star!

Make a wish, honey.

Really?

Of course.

I wish that we could all spend the summer back home

in the city.

Buddy, we're spending the summer here

so that your mom can do her research.

I know.

I wish someone would empty the trailer for me tomorrow.

Mom, you said your wish,

so now that one's not gonna come true.

Actually, bud, that wish probably will.

What's your wish, Dad?

Not gonna tell you guys.

Isn't this place the best?

You know, I used to come here growing up

with Grandma and Grandpa,

looking at these same stars and exploring the woods.

Dad, you don't go outside.

I totally go outside.

Okay, I'm going inside.

The mosquitoes are biting.

They're not biting me.

Ow, all right, I'm out.

I told you this was a bad idea.

This is a great idea!

Come on, Cassie, bedtime.

I wish that I can make some new friends.

Whoa, just missed that one.

Almost there.

Come on.

Yes!

You did it!

Watch out!

Hex, thank you.

Don't mention it.

Oh, that's not good.

All this damage caused an explosion in the power core.

Meaning?

Meaning we are about to crash.

Initiating emergency landing protocol.

Buckle yourselves in.

I'm going to attempt an emergency landing

on that planet over there.

Computer, can you gimme a rundown on that planet please?

Planet 2224.

Third planet from this system's sun,

known to the inhabitants as Earth.

Population 7.8 billion of these Earthlings.

Did you just say billion, with a B?

Yes.

Are you sure a hearing test is not needed?

Arcee, see what you can do

about avoiding as many Earthlings as you can.

Entering Earth's outer atmosphere.

Brace for impact!

This is it.

They're here.

Whoa.

Come here.

Just a little closer.

Come to Papa.

Gotcha!

Whoa, whoa!

Whoa, hey, are, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Marvin?

Marvin Skerety?

Hey, it's me, John, John Griffin.

Yes, yes, hello, John.

Nice to see you.

Here, here, let me help you up.

Nope, no, no.

I'm, I'm, I'm fine, I'm fine.

Thank you.

Yeah, sure.

Well, at least let me grab your, your...

No, no, no.

I, I can get it myself.

Actually, I, I do think I need some help up.

Yeah, yeah, of course, of course.

Thank you, thank you.

So, how are you?

Fine, fine.

When did, when did you get back in town?

Last night.

We're here for the summer.

Avery, you remember my wife Avery?

She's here doing some of her star map documentation.

Obviously, as you know, the skies here are perfect for that.

Yes.

Yes, yes.

Well, well, welcome back, John.

I must, I must be going.

I see you're still doing your, your alien thing.

It's called ufology, okay?

And it's a real thing.

Yeah, of course, of course.

I'm, I'm happy for you.

I, it was great to see you.

We should, we should get together sometime.

Not sure I can.

I'm very busy.

I got a big lead.

Very, very, very top, top secret.

Oh.

Tell Avery I said hello.

Yeah, will do.

Take care, Marvin.

Good old Marvin the Martian.

Emergency power initiated.

Are we dead?

It doesn't look like it.

You have successfully landed on Earth.

Your definition of successful is very different

than mine, Computer.

Damage report.

Significant damages detected.

Hex, what can you make of it?

Well, we aren't getting home like this.

But you can fix it, right?

Of course.

Great.

After we collect all the parts that fell off during entry.

Uh, what parts?

These parts.

And thankfully, they aren't too far away from this area.

Well, let's go get 'em.

Aye, aye, Captain.

Um, Hex, you probably shouldn't go out there

looking like you do.

And why not?

We don't know if this planet is friendly.

She's right.

This planet isn't a part of the explored areas

of the Alliance.

Computer, what do Earthlings think of aliens?

Searching.

Running research now.

We're gonna end up someone's science experiment!

Okay, calm down.

We can figure this out.

How?

This planet doesn't exactly welcome aliens.

What if we weren't aliens?

Say what now?

Computer, is the morphing tube operational?

Affirmative.

We're gonna blend in as something else.

Ace, you're a genius!

That's Captain Genius.

We're too small to pass as Earthlings.

Computer, run a search

on the creatures in this sector, please.

Wow, there's so many.

What about those?

Naked mole rats.

Oh, they are so cute.
