One of them found us. And became family. But her time ran out. And now that girl is missing. Homecoming dance 2025. It's very uh, it's very dancey. That's a lot of people. The school gym is never looked so fruity. It's called editing people. Why does no one ask my input on these events? I think it's festive. Nothing like a homecoming dance to keep the feet tapping and the heart pumping. You've never been to a dance, Cybot. True. But my database of old movies and TV shows suggests that they are incredibly entertaining and often result in unexpected romantic parents. So are the tables... Sound very questionable. ...curses toys and ears. Did you say romantic parents? Fuck. Word. Cyrus, why did you bring Cybot? Don't, don't worry about it. Hey, Brinley, you wanna go grab something to drink? Lead the way. So, uh, do you like to dance, Bertie? Of course. You? Not sure. Never really tried. You've never danced? What, did you come from a town where it's illegal or something? No, I just... It's not rocket science. You just move around to the beat of the music. That's it? Pretty much. Try it. How's this? Maybe loosen up a little? Ooh. Not that loose. Oh, I'm Jeep Bertie. There you are. You look so fierce. Oh. Hey, Cora. Hey, Dora. Looking good. Hi, Bertie. Hi, Bertie's date. Uh, hi. You guys don't know Badger? We do now. Did you do Come Alone? Alone? Please. Oh, here come our dates. What's up? Oh. Wow. Twins. Two sets of identical twins. Cool, right? This is my date, Aiden, and this is my date, Jaden. They're from... Where's your bag? Awesome. Nice to meet you both. Uh, what did you say your name was, bud? Uh, Badger. Cool. Hey, bro. Um, thanks. You and Bertie make such a cute couple. Oh, we're not. You didn't get Bertie a corsage? I didn't know. Aiden and Jaden got us corsages. D. Got a present, bro. Yeah, that's very nice. So, Badger, how long have you been in Juneau? Whoa. Where did you go to school before you came here? Um... Is that a hard question? Sounds like they're playing our song, Badge. See you guys on the dance floor. Come on. Thanks for the save. That was... intense. Really? Which part? They're, uh, looking over here. We should probably dance. Oh, right. Except I don't, um, I don't really know how to slow dance, either. Just put your arms here, around my waist, and I'll put mine here, around your neck. And now we just, you know, sway back and forth. Like this? Um, yeah. Perfect. So, Cora and Dora are a lot. Welcome to my life. They did ask one good question, though. You never told me where you were before you came to our school. What? This is gonna sound weird, but, um, I don't actually know. Even more creepy wandering these school halls at night, huh, Sinus? Sorry, Cyrus. Habit. Yeah. Sci-bot, you hear anything? Nothing yet. Oh, here's the music room, my home base. I'm actually detecting something coming from inside there. Come on, let's go in. I'm sure the door's locked. Huh, how irresponsible. There are some very valuable instruments stored in there. What do you got, Sci-bot? I am definitely picking up vibrations from the vents in the ceiling. Look, my chair. Of course it's not officially my chair, but I do sort of rule this place. And you play clarinet? What? No, tenor saxophone. I'll have you know I'm one of the greatest junior sax players in all of Alaska. You wanna hear? Well, we are trying to be stuff, but... Wow. That was... Not enough. I play little drums, too. Oh, you really don't have to... What can't she do? Did you hear that? It's gotta be pen. You up for a crawl through the vents? Why not? Here, I'll give you a boost. I'm wearing a dress, Cyrus. You go first, then you can pull me up. Oh, uh, sure. Here, stand on this chair. Okay, now step into my hands. Got it. I can't until I link them together. Sorry, I thought you had. Your shoes were on the gym floor. Do you want me to stop and clean them? Just saying, it's gross. I've seen worse. Ready? Let me just remove this grate and... Okay, boost me up. Ah! There, you're in. Okay, now give me your hand. Okay, just be careful of my nails. Get them myself. With a little help from my dad. Oh, very nice. Now, now, come on. There. Hi. Hi. It's Titan here, huh? Yeah. Oh, I think your bracelet is caught on my jacket. Oh, here. Got it? Yeah. Can you move forward, feeling a little crowded? Here, just follow me this way. I'll try. How am I doing? Huh? How am I doing? Oh, good. Really good. Sloanancing is not too bad. You know, once you get used to it. See? Always trust Bertie. I do trust you. That's why I told you my secret. Do you really not remember where you came from? Nope. I woke up a few weeks ago in Juneau with no memory. Just a note in my pocket with the word Badger. You woke up? Where? I was right outside of Cabin, not that far from Brinley's actually. Nobody seemed to be living there. I stayed by myself for a couple of weeks, then decided to come to the high school, hoping someone might recognize me. And no one did? No. But I made up a story, forged some signatures, and talked them into letting me enroll. I didn't know what else to do. It's pretty smart. Are you scared? Think I might be? I don't know. Maybe a little? I mostly just want answers. Well, I'm going to help you get them, Badger Brian. Really? That's what homecoming dates are for, right? I do love a good mystery. We're gonna figure out who you are. How long have I been sleeping? Adam. Oh, Doctor Head. Where have you rolled off to? Hey, hey, sleepyhead. Adam! How did you get up on that pile of rocks? Benefit of being a bot. I only need six minutes of sleep, well, you need six hours. Well, you're snoozing. I built a tower pushing these rocks one by one with my teeth and using my own momentum to roll them into place. You gotta admit, it's pretty impressive. Well, I suppose, but why? Oh, that's the best part. So I could do this. Bombs away! Wuffy! Oh, that's gonna leave a mark. And now while you're recovering from a hopefully severe concussion, I've got work to do. Did I mention I tracked down part of my torso? And turns out a cell phone was still in the pocket right where I left it before the blast. You'd be surprised what a determined head can accomplish. Shouldn't he be on the call by now? Let's give him a little more time. Still don't understand why I've never heard of this Doctor Adam Head. Maybe he went underground after his time working for Dr. Whittier. Oh, here he comes. Hello? Sorry I'm late. Hi. Whoa, that camera angle is unusual. I'll feel tight on your face. Sorry about that. I'm not very good with technology. Aren't you a robotics expert? And yet... Can I ask how old you are? We expected someone a little more... mature. Oh, uh, uh, child prodigy. What can I say? Listen, we don't have much time. I think we can help each other. I'm detecting that Penn went this way. Are you sure Saibot knows where he's going? Yes. No. What's that? Whoa. Did you feel that? What's happening up there? The vents shifted. They must be pumping fresh air into the stinky gymnasium. We're stuck. I can't move forward. I can't move back either. Maybe if I... Thirst, what are you... Ow! You're slushing my arm. Here, just let me... Oops, uh, excuse me. Hey. Well, this is awkward. Yeah. Our faces are... Hi. Hi. Casey, you down there? Right here. Give me your hand, Penn. I'll help you out of the vent. Maybe not. Remember what happened last time we touched hands? Oh, right. No portals at the homecoming dance. Thanks for coming to help me on short notice. Wow. And you wore a dress. You told me to. I know. I wasn't even sure you had one. It's not like I got to pick it out. It was delivered to my room when I thought I'd be going to the dance on assignment. This is actually my first time wearing one... Ever. Well, good job. I mean, you wear it well. I mean... You can say if it looks ridiculous. No, it doesn't look ridiculous at all. No? No. It looks... Great. Oh. Um... I've never seen you in a jacket and tie. I borrowed it from the drama department's costume closet. Oh, I brought you this. Snatched it off Mrs. Barton's desk. No one's ever given me a flower before either. Uh, thank you. You're welcome. Uh, so, Cyrus and his date, Brinley, they're looking for you. Yeah, what's the deal with you two anyway? Me and Syfy? Oh, it could never happen. I was sent in to spy on him, you know. Right. Sorry. It's fine. I'm here to help you. I know you don't want to go back to Whittier Court. Do you? No. I was thinking... Maybe we should try to help Cyrus and Brinley? What's that? Whittier Court. They're here. Shh. It's starting. GCM shows. Imagination amplified. Six hours on United Airlines, one very chatty Uber, and I'm here. Back in Ben's front yard bushes. I haven't heard anything about six minutes today. One, two, three. Okay, I'm here. Um... Oh, that's a really bad hiding spot, dude. Under the mat? Okay. I'm going in. Okay, walking into Ben's office and... Huh. Okay. On the whiteboard, it says, six minutes day, June 1st. I wonder why he's been so shifty about it. June 1st, 730 Eastern, 430 Pacific. Oh. Oh. Who's laughing? Um, yeah, I'm getting out of here. June 1st. See you then, I hope. Thanks. And also, make sure you sign up for the newsletter so you don't miss any info on six minutes day, but I'm going to leave now. Bye.
