Ahhh! Saving the galaxy sounded awesome,
but so far it's just... school.
- Hey, it'll get better. - It--It's just--
I miss home so much. And I don't fit in here.
Everything's weird and--and hard.
I'm so sorry, Cleo.
OK, so I read that one way to help
with big life transitions is journaling.
You know, like keeping a diary?
SoBrian made you...
A Boswell.
- A what? - It's a self-powered
AG drone that records audiovisual data
to a microcrystalline matrix.
Uh...what?
Brian, remember? You were gonna cut down on the big words?
( nervous laugh ) Ah, the Boswell flies around next to you
and records what happens so you can keep a video diary.
- ( beep ) - Female voice: Boswell activated.
Well, this is a thing...
that's happening...I guess.
Akila: We gotta go! Have fun!
OK. Let's do this.
Boswell (beeps): Recording.
Um, hello, diary.
Ah, so, next up is lunch.
( awkward chuckle ) Shouldn't be too weird, right?
I know how to eat.
Boswell: Recorded.
Hmm. ( sniffs )
Blechh! ( grunts )
Aaah! Heeyah!
Unhh! Aaah!
I. Don't. Think. This. Is. Food!
Hunh-yahh!
-Recorded. - Ugh.
Both: Yeah! ( laughing )
Hmm. Oh!
( whistling )
-Recorded. - Arghh.
( static )
( sighs )
Welcome to combat training, new kid.
I'm Callie, and I'm the best...
at everything.
Now watch me take on sixsimulated Xerxes.
- ( onlookers gasp ) - Yeah, you heard me. Six.
( all gasp )
( beams zapping )
( video game-like sounds )
( powering-down sounds )
( awestruck chatter )
Your turn.
But try fighting something you can handle.
Like a one-legged squirrel.
( all laughing )
- Give mesevenXerxes. - ( all gasp )
Oh, you got it, baby.
Now kill or be killed!
( Cleo grunts )
( beams zapping )
Hahh!
( beam zapping )
( powering down )
( all laughing )
Ha! Seven with one shot.
Ohh, that wasamazing, sweetie,
but actually, it was six.
Huh?
- ( Cleo gasps ) - ( buzzer sounds )
Professor Klabrax: 'Fraid you just died, sugar pie.
Boswell: Recorded.
Grrr!
Brian: You...
totally killed my Boswell.
Aaahh!
But Brian, it'ssogreat
that you were able to recover the video data!
( deadpan ) Yeah, so great.
Uhh!
Did you see all of that?
I'm never gonna live this down!
Ohhh! If this is what being 15 is gonna be like,
this is the worst birthday ever!
- Birthday? - ( noisemaker honks )
It's yourbirthday?!
( crying ) Yesss.
Omigosh, I have to throw you a party!
Ilovethrowing parties, and you're my best friend,
and we just met yesterday so forget I said that,
and I have to throw you a giant party!
Oh, no. I donotneed you calling attention to me
after I spent the whole day humiliating myself.
And Khensu said I'm supposed to keep a low profile.
A party is as not-low-profile as you can get!
- But I-- - No! You arenotgoing to throw me a party.
Let me hear you say it.
I'm not gonna throw you a party.
( tablet clicking )
You're going to throw her a party.
Already booked a band!
Are you sure about this?
She, like, shereally--
She needs this to cheer her up, Brian.
Plus, Khensu said Cleo should act like a normal student,
and normal students have birthday parties.
So it's like Khensu orderedme
- to throw Cleo a huge party. OK? - But Cleo said--
Brian! You are the tech expert. I am thefeelingsexpert.
Trust me, this will make Cleo feel better!
( sighs ) OK, fine.
I'll help.
But I'm gonna be grumpy about it.
Ehh, that's not a grumpy face.
- ( grunting ) - Nope. Nope.
Aah! Uh-uh. Nope.
Sorry, OK?
I'm having trouble with my facial expressions algorithm.
Rough being a robot, huh?
I'm a cyborg!
Do you know how offensive it is to call me a robot?
Uh-huh, sure. Hey, where can I get a cake shaped like a sphinx?
Unh. Baah.
Oh, see,that's a grumpy face.
- Cleo: Khensu! - Ahh!
( sighs ) It's fine.
I've only been working on that for a week.
Why did you enroll me here?
This place is awful!
I don't understand anything, and I don't fit in,
and I just wanna go home! Uggh!
Cleo...
if there's a way to send you home,
I swear we'll find it.
But for now, you're stuck here.
You need to find your place.
Make some connections, meet some people.
- Eeee... - And cats and aliens.
Just give it time. It'll get better, I promise.
- Mm-mm? - If you try to scratch my belly,
I guarantee youoneof us will get scratched.
- Uh-huh... - Just try to fit in, Cleo.
Make some new friends. All right?
Yeah. I guess if I had more friends
I'd feel like I fit in more.
And maybe,maybeI could work on zhuzhing up my uniform,
- Eh? Eh? - Absolutely.
- Do you feel any better? - A little.
Thanks, Khensu.
Huh.
I actually kind of like it this way.
( beeping )
( whoosh )
( hissing, beeping )
( whoosh )
( hissing )
( snoring )
Good morning, roomie.
( yawns ) What are you wearing?
I made some tweaks to my uniform.
Do you like it?
Heh. Wow, it's great!
I know, right?
Khensu said I should try to fit in more,
and I thought it'd help to be as fabulous as,
well, as I am!
Hey, Brian. I gotta go.
I wanna see if anyone wants to hang out tonight
and do some extra combat practice with me.
- You guys in? - Uh...
Uh, sure! Because we're free tonight,
because we don't have anything else to do at all.
So nothing! Ha ha!
Totally free.
OK. Off to meet some people,
and cats, and aliens, and fit in.
Are you pumped? Whoo! Cuz I am pumped!
She's gonna ask people to hang outtonight?
You already told everyone her birthday party is tonight!
It's OK. I made everyone promise not to ruin the surprise.
They'll just say they're busy or whatever.
I'm, like, really worried about this, Akila.
( glitchy sounds ) A lot of anxiety.
Yeah, that's not an anxious face.
I'm still having trouble with my expressions.
My maxillofacial parameters are inverted.
Smaller words, Bri-Bri!
It means, nyeh--this.
Eww! Is that as painful as it looks?
More.
( roaring )
Professor Sitre: Octavian's attempt to conquer the galaxy
began with the event known as the Blight.
In the Blight,
Octavian stole nearly all
existing digital information,
destroying all copies but his own.
The galaxy was plunged into chaos
as virtually everything known about science,
history, and the universe was lost.
Since then,
we here at Pyramid have sought out lost books,
scrolls, and surviving data files.
We have regained a small portion
of the galaxy's collective knowledge,
but these efforts continue,
and you students will be a part of them.
Whoa. That Blight thing sounds really awful.
Gekeke gegh. Yes, it was a terrible tragedy!
Heh heh heh.
- Sitre: E'geke-Ek'gek! - Ohh...
You are disrupting my lecture!
Ehgekeke. I apologize!
My translation device does not have a volume control!
Ehh heh heh. Ohh...
Hey! Do you guys wanna hang out tonight?
Squeeze in a little extra combat practice?
What do you say, buddies?
Gekeke e'geh-- We cannot!
Tonight we are going to your--
Ekeh. Egeke--
I mean, I, uh--um--
Translator malfunction!
Static noises! Cra-ckle. Cra-ckle.
We can't tonight. Uh, because...things.
OK, that was about eight kinds of weird.
( music playing )
( takes deep breath )
Hey there!
Callie, right?
( buzzing )
So, I was wondering if you might wanna get in
a little extra combat practice tonight?
So you're saying Ineed extra combat practice?
Because you're so awesome
and you just come in and take out six Xerxes with one shot
and show me up in front of everyone?
I am the best at this school, OK?
And I will alwaysbe the best!
So...that's a maybe?
- ( buzzing ) - Hmm?
Male voice: Aah! Dude, you just killed one of my bits!
Not cool, brah!
Oh--I--Uh--uh--
Aw, it's OK, brah. My name's Zuzz.
Don't go swattin' anything without askin' first, get it?
Um, ah, heh-heh.
I, um, gotta go.
Ugh. Even the bugs don't like me.
( music playing )
Hey! Do you wanna do some extra combat practice tonight?
( screeches )
( girls laughing )
Hiya! Do you wanna hang out--
I'm Cleo. Would you--
( screams ) - Whoop!
Ugh! Is everyone here insane?
Or--is it me?
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
( gasps ) Do I stink or something?
( sniffing )
I did have trouble
with that sonic shower thing
this morning.
Aah!
( whimpers )
I don't know what's wrong with me.
I'm sure you're just imagining this.
I don't think so.
Yes yes yes imagining imagining imagining.
Now, just curious, only wondering--
what's your favorite food?
Tizzywollock? Crundle? Greffidge? Bladdock pie?
Whazzawha? Brian,
this translation thing of yours went wonky.
No, it's just that the translation net
isn't good with food names,
because they're mnemonically linked
to nonlinearly interwoven--
- Smaller words! - Cleo: Ughh!
I amnotimagining this!
Everyone hates me and they're all acting totally weird!
I just don't belong here.
Akila, maybe we should tell her--
That it's fine! And she's fine! And everything's fine!
Right, Briannn?
Unhh. Yes.
It's fine.
That's why I'm making this... reassuring face.
( gasps )
Cleo, please! Trust me!
Everything is fine!
Fine, fine, fine, fine!
Quit telling me it's fine!
I can't connect with anyone here,
and you're acting like I'm crazy!
( sighs ) I thought you were supposed to be my friends.
- Cleo-- - Forget it. I gotta go to class.
( both grunt )
Hey! Why don't you watchyou're--
h-h-handsome.
Ahh.
Uh--uh--ohh-ooh. Uh, I--
Don't rat me out about the hoverblades, snakehead.
- Ugh! - I could get suspended again.
Wha-- Snakehead?
It's not a snake! It's an ibis!
Wow. It does kinda look like a snake.
Hey.
Where's my apple?!
Huh. Yep, that was Zaid.
Stay away from him. He's always in trouble,
and he'll drag you down with him.
- It's an ibis! - Uh-huh. Yeah.
Speaking of whatever you just said,
what's your favorite kind of juice?
Grape? Zorkberry? Or shollyfurnage?
It's for, ya know, like, a survey. OK. Ahem.
Akila, did you ever have one of those days where you--
I'll just put you down for shollyfurnage.
Everything is fine and normal! Bye!
Some friend.
Akila...
I think we're actually making her feel worse.
Brian, you gotta trust me, 'kay?
This party is exactly what she needs to cheer her up.
It's fine!
( roaring )
( computer beeping )
Hmm.
Uh, um....
( gasps ) Don't cheat off me!
- I don't know anything! - Professor Sitre: Cleopatra!
No talking during the test.
But he--
( sighs ) I'm sorry, Professor Sitre.
Kids: Surprise!!!
All: Happy birthday!
( upbeat music playing )
Wowwwww! Huh?
- Hey, happy birthday! - Happy birthday, Cleo!
E'gekeke! I am sorry I was acting strangely earlier!
G'eke'eke! Happy birthday!
Thanks, E'Geke-ek'Gek.
They don't hate me.
They really don't hate me!
Cleo! Omigosh, are you, like,sosurprised?
Oh, yeah. Am I not making a surprised face?
Do I have the same problem Brian does?
- Brian: What problem? - ( both exclaim )
Wait.
Am I making a happy face?
Cleo: Yes, you are.
Ha-ha! Nailed it!
I know you said you didn't want a party,
but I really felt like you needed something,
ya know, to cheer you up, and--
Akila...thank you!
This--This is great.
You know, maybe this place isn't going to be so bad.
( music playing )
( gasps ) What is that?
Hey.
Um, I'll be back.
Where are you--
Akila: ] Ugh! Not Zaid!
He'll drag you down with him!
Thanks for not snitchin' on me to Professor Sitre.
All your answers I copied were wrong, by the way.
Yeah, I don't know much about history.
Recent history.
I'm sorry I was a jerk.
It's just, uh...
I, uh...
What's the matter?
- I miss my family. - Where are they?
They're, uh....
I'm an orphan.
Yeah...I guess I am too.
It's hard... isn't it?
Yeah, so what? Everything'shard.
You just... do what you gotta do.
- ( kids screaming ) - ( flower creature roaring )
( panting ) Uh-oh.
- ( roaring ) - Cleo: Whatisthat thing?
- It's a robotanical! - It's one of Octavian's.
It must be after Cleo.
( whooshing )
( roars )
Aaaah!
I got this!
Whalalalalalala!
( whimpers, screams )
( beep )
- ( fast beeping ) - Robot voice: Target acquired.
Uh-oh. I think it likes me.
( Cleo, Akila yelling )
This is not on the party itinerary!
- ( Cleo shouting ) - ( creature roaring )
Aaaaah! Unhh!
( roars )
Aaah!
Unh! Uhhhh!
Heyahhh!
Uhh-- Aaaah!
Unhh!
Whoa!
( roaring )
- Whoa! - Zaid: Hey!
Aah! Uhh!
( groaning )
( gasps )
Stop. Ruining. My. Party!
Ahh.
- ( Cleo grunts ) - ( all gasp )
Unhh!
( clanking )
( all gasping )
That was my mother's crown!
- ( creature roars ) - ( Cleo grunts )
Huh?
- Hyahh! - ( roars )
Yahhh!
( crackling )
Heyaaaah!
- ( grunts ) - ( shards tinkling )
Zaid!
( groaning )
I'm sorry--
I'm sorry I stole your apple.
And I'm sorry I stole your hoverblades.
Aw yeah. Uh-huh.
Kids (chanting): Cleo! Cleo! Cleo!
I think I like that girl.
This was sent by Octavian.
And it was programmed to go after Cleopatra.
There's only one way it could have gotten past security.
Someone at the Academy is working for Octavian.
- We have a spy. - ( gasping )
( Brian huffing )
I fixed your crown.
Oh! Thank you so much.
And--uh--what's that?
Whoa! Is that a present forme?
Yep, it is. Brian made it!
- ( whooshing ) - Cleo: Omigosh!
It's the greatest thing ever!
Also: what is it?
It's an anti-grav bike! And it's a sphinx!
See? It combines your past andyour present!
And it's a present!
It fits in here-- just like you.
Omigosh, omigosh, omigosh!
Whoa.
- ( beeping ) - Oh, cool!
Cleo, be careful, don't to tearing around on that thing, or you'll--
Whoo-hoo!!!
Ha ha! Best birthdayever!
Whoo!
( music playing )
( whoosh )
