There are kids in this world who are different, special. One of them found us and became family. But her time ran out and now that girl is missing. I'm coming dance in 2025, it's a very, it's very, it's very dancey. That's a lot of people.

The school gym has never looked so free.

It's called editing people. Why does no one asked my input on these events? I think it's festive. Nothing like a homecoming dance to keep the feet tapping and the hard pumping. You've never been to a dance, I'm sorry about it.

But my database of old movies and TV shows suggest that they are incredibly entertaining and a lot of an result in an unexpected, romantic appearance. So are the tables? You should romantic parents. Cyrus, why did you bring a sidebar?

Don't worry about it. Hey, Brinley, you want to go grab something to drink. Wait a minute. So do you like to dance, Bertie? Of course.

You? Not sure. Never really tried. You've never danced. What?

“Did you come from town where it's a little or something?”

No, it's not.

It's not rock and 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? Oh, why? Oh, not that loose. Oh, I'm getting burned. There you are.

You look so fierce. Oh. Hey, Quora. Hey, Dora. Looking good.

How are you? Are you ready? Hi, Bernie State. Hi.

You guys don't know about her?

We do now. Did you come alone? Alone? Who is? Oh, here are our things.

It's up. Oh, wow. Twins. Two sets of identical tools. Cool, right?

This is my date. Eight in the night. This is my date. Jaden. They're from.

There's a big, awesome. Nice to meet you both. What did you say your name was, bud? Uh, Batcher. Cool.

Hey, Gra. Nice. You and Bernie make such a cute couple. Oh, we're not. You didn't get Bernie a Coursache?

I didn't know. Eight in the Jaden got us Coursaches. D. We got you. Yeah.

That's very nice. So, Batcher. How long have you been in Jaden?

“Well, where did you go to school before you came here?”

Home? Is that of our question? Sounds like they're playing our song, Batcher. So, you guys on the dance floor? Come on.

That's for the save. That was intense. Really? Which part? They're 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.

Wait, this? Um, yeah. Perfect. So, Cora and Dora are on a lot. Welcome to my life.

They did ask one good question though.

What?

This is going to sound weird, but um, I don't actually know.

[Music]

“You've been more creepy wondering these schools at night, huh, sinus?”

Sorry. It's Iris. Have it. Yeah. Sci-Bot.

Is he here anything? Nothing yet. Oh, here's the music room. My home base. I'm actually detecting something coming from inside me.

Come on. Let's go in. I'm sure the door's locked. Huh. How are you responsible?

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 sea. Look, my chair.

Of course, it's not officially my chair, but I do sort of roll this place.

And you play clarinet. What? No. Tender saxophone. I'll have you know, I'm one of the greatest junior sax players in Alvelasca.

You want to hear? Well, we are trying to be stuff. [Music] Wow. That was...

Not enough. I play little drums, too. Oh, you really don't have to. [Music] What can't she do?

[Music] Did you hear that? It's got to be pen. You up for a crawl through the vents? Why not?

Here. I'll give you a boost. I'm wearing a dress, Sci-Bot.

You go first and you can pull me up.

Oh, uh, sure. Here. Stand on this chair. Okay. Now step into my hands.

Got it. Oh, I can enjoy LinkedIn together. Sorry, I thought you had. Oh, 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. Great.

And... Okay. Boost me up. [Music] There, you're in.

Okay, now give me your hand. Okay, just be careful of my nails. Get them myself. Do a little help from my dad. Oh, very nice.

No, no, come on. No. [Laughs] There. Hi.

Hi. It's tight in here, huh? Yeah. Oh, alright.

“I think your bracelet is carved on my jacket.”

Oh, here. On it. Yeah. Can you move forward? Feeling a little crowded?

Yeah, just follow me this way. It's alright. [Music] [Music] How am I doing?

Huh? How am I doing? Oh, good. Really good. Slow dancing is not too bad.

You don't want to get used to me. See? Always trust birdie. I do trust you. Do you really not remember where you came from?

Nope. We'll go a few weeks ago and you know it's no memory. Just a note in my pocket that worked better. You woke up. Where?

It 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 a story, forged from signatures and talking until 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? It's what homecoming dates are for, right?

I do love a good mystery. We're going to figure out who you are. How long have I been sleeping? Adam. Oh, Doctor, head.

Hey, hey, sleepyhead. Adam.

“How did you get up on that pile of rocks?”

Better if it's being a bot? I only need six minutes of sleep, but 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 got to admit.

It's pretty impressive. I suppose. But why? Oh, that's the best part. So I could do this.

Bombs away! What the-- Oh, that's going to leave a barge. And now when you're covering from a hopefully severe concussion, I've got work to do. Did I mention I tracked down part of my torso?

It turns out, a cell phone was still in the pocket right right left before the blast. You'd be surprised what a determined head could 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 Doctor Woodier. Oh, here he comes. No, sorry, I'm late. Hi. Whoa, camera angle is unusual.

I'll probably tie it on your face. Oh, 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. I'm not sure. I'm a child-pronigie. What can I say?

I don't know. Listen, we don't have much time. I think we can help each other. I'm detecting that pen went this way.

“Are you sure Simon knows where he's going?”

Yeah, no. What's that? Whoa. Did you feel that?

What's happening up there?

The vent's shifted. They must be pumping fresh air into the stinky gymnasium. More stuck. I can't move forward. I can't go back either.

Maybe if I... That's what it is. Oh, I'm squishing my arm. You can't just let me. Oh, sorry.

Excuse me. Hey. Well, this is awkward. Yeah. Our faces are...

Hot. Hi. Casey, you down there? Right here? Give me your hand pen.

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. Whew. Thanks for coming to help me on short notice.

Wow. And you were address? You told me, too. 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. Oh, well.

Good job. I mean, you were. Well, I mean... You can say if it looks ridiculous. No, it doesn't look ridiculous at all.

No? No. Oh. 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. Snatch 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, too, anyway? Me and sci-fi? 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 winter court.

Do you? No. I was thinking... Maybe we should try to help Cyrus and Brinley. What's that?

Where do you recall? They're here. [music playing] Hey. Now that you've listened to this week's episode,

head on over to the JZM Rewind feed, to hear me and the creators talk with special guests,

[music playing] Shh. It's starting. JZM shows.
