I see you're all working hard

- on your projects - for the science fair.

Science fair?

- I don't see what's fair - about it.

Unless you're smart

and work hard

and apply yourself,

you don't win a ribbon!

It should be called

the science unfair.

[power whines on]

Very nice, Echo.

- I'm powering this light bulb - using...

A hydrogen fuel cell.

- I used this battery - to extract...

- Extract the hydrogen - from the water.

Please, let me...

Finish a sentence? Sure.

- You know, you could - greatly increase

- The efficiency - of the fuel cell by...

Would you let me do

my own project?

Wow! You didn't have

to cut me off.

I'm just trying to help you

win the science fair.

Once again.

"Fair."

I'll be fine on my own.

It's not like I have

much competition.

[Derby snoring]

Derby... wake up.

I am awake.

You don't look like

you're awake.

I'm just thinking.

About science.

Oh. OK, then.

Why don't you believe me?

I love science.

Apology accepted.

[tape ripping]

- [Derby, on tape] - Now, if you'll excuse me,

I'd like to go back

to thinking about science.

? Goodbye, summer,

hello, fall ?

- ? We've been trying - to get here ?

? Since we both

were barely two feet tall ?

? Who you callin' kid?

Who you callin' kid? ?

? Who you callin' kid? ?

? Can call me what you want ?

? But I won't hear a word

where I am here ?

? Who you callin' kid? ?

[??]

OK, everyone. Good luck at

the science fair tonight.

Yeah... luck.

Right.

- [Derby's voice]: - What are you doing?

What? Me? N-nothing.

Adam...

OK, I'm just

helping Echo a little.

I've been doing some research,

and I believe that by adding

some high hydrogen-content

ammonia borane to the water,

the efficiency of the fuel cell

should increase exponentially.

I'll take a bath

in a minute, mom!

I'm recording something

for science class!

What?

- How did you know - what I would do?

You're very predictable.

- No, I'm...

- Are too.

- Anyway, do you mind - waking me up?

I don't want to miss lunch.

Jerk.

What's this?

Something about

how caterpillars

turn into butterflies?

It may seem so,

to the untrained eye.

Yeah, Mrs. Byrne.

To the trained eye, it's...

you finish, Slab.

- Caterpillars - are a lot like nerds.

Nerds start out

weak and spineless,

but, like butterflies,

they emerge as something

awe-inspiring...

Doctors, engineers,

scientific innovators...

- That's very enlightened of you, - Slab.

Thanks. Now all we

have to do is wait.

[sneezes]

So, what's your project?

I take this everyday

balloon...

and make it stick to the board.

Aah! You're a witch!

She's a witch! Let's burn her!

Mrs. Byrne, she's not a witch.

If she were a witch,

I'd be scared and crying

like a little girl.

But look how it just

stays there!

That's witchcraft!

She practices the dark arts.

It's Ivy. She doesn't

practice anything.

It's not witchcraft.

Anyone can do it.

Oh, yeah? You try it.

[squeaking on bald head]

Witch!

Welcome, judges. My project is

- on the importance - of turning off lights.

Ah, to conserve energy.

Yup. My energy.

[power whines down]

[crowd groans in protest]

- I can't see the switch - to turn the lights back on.

Derby, wake up!

[snoring]

I am awake.

It doesn't sound like

you're awake.

I'm just thinking.

About science.

Oh. OK, then.

- Maybe Echo could help, - Principal Tater.

I guess so.

- My hydrogen fuel cell will - power a tiny light bulb.

[Echo] I just have to

connect the wires.

Apology accepted.

Here, let me help.

[electricity crackles]

Finally!

I can walk into the light.

My fuel cell can power

all those lights?

Don't be so modest.

This project is nothing

short of genius.

And you did it all yourself.

No one helped.

Just you. Alone.

I guess you're right.

And I thought Ivy's

balloon thing was unbeatable.

Who has heard...

of the Salem Witch Trials?

You're not teaching us

about the War of 1812?

How do you know

there will be a war

in 1812, Witch?

I'm not a witch!

That's just what

a witch would say.

There! Look at the next item.

I don't live in a candy house.

Sure you don't.

You can come over

and see for yourself.

Trying to lure me

into your candy house

so you can fatten me up

and eat me?

Well, forget it!

Is the banister

made of candy cane?

No! Forget it!

- I won a ribbon - at the science fair.

It just says "participant."

I know, but I didn't

really participate.

Echo!

- I see you're wearing - your first-place ribbon.

Yeah. I know it's silly,

but I did earn it.

All by myself.

With no one's help.

Just me. Alone.

Second place.

Just because I forgot to give

the nerd jar air holes.

Echo...

I'm afraid you can no longer

attend Finnegan High.

[Adam] What? No!

Don't blame her for my...

'Cause you're just

too darn smart!

Your fuel cell project

is way beyond what

anybody around here can do.

They've all made

a full recovery!

Anyway, Echo,

we're graduating you!

Great Northern University

is giving you a scholarship!

Wow! I'll be a college girl.

And maybe after I graduate,

I'll become a high school

teacher.

Oh.

[everyone laughs heartily]

High school teacher...

Oh, what a waste of genius.

[??]

[??]

Perfect.

Gotcha, Witch!

Why aren't you melting?

And why aren't you in...

Oh, let's go with heaven.

I knew I should've

dropped a house on you!

Ladies and gentlemen,

please welcome this year's

graduating class.

["Pomp and Circumstance" plays]

[applause]

- This is actually - one more graduate

Than last year.

This is a really bad school.

Please take the stage

when you hear your name.

I will read it

in alphabetical order.

Echo Zizzleswift.

[music resumes triumphantly]

[applause and cheers]

I see so much of myself in you.

I mean, except for

the graduating

from high school part.

Let go!

No! You can't leave...

Finnegan.

Finnegan needs you.

Finnegan can't live without you.

Finnegan will be just fine.

You're too young for college!

You went when you were nine!

And look how I turned out.

Good point.

But I'm going anyway.

You get to hit people

with chairs at graduation?

I should start applying myself.

[applause]

[shrieking]

Hello there, my...

Oh, let's go with pretty.

I knew it.

I knew you were a witch!

Now that you know my secret,

I'm going to turn you

into a toad!

Poof!

I don't feel any different.

[cackling]

[gasps in horror]

Turn me back! Turn me back!

What's that? All I heard was

"Croak, croak. Croak, croak."

Did I hear right?

Mrs. Byrne finally croaked?

[sadly] Oh.

I can't believe

Echo's really gone.

You must be

in too much pain to teach.

No, I can teach.

I get it. It hurts, man.

[cell phone ringing]

Oh! It's Echo!

- Hello!

- Hi, Adam.

- [Adam] Hi, Echo! How are - things at university?

OK, I guess.

I just had my theoretical

particle physics class,

and I didn't understand a thing,

which is weird

because I'm a science genius.

- Of course, there's more - to college than studying.

There is? That's all I remember.

- Sure. In fact, - this group of nice boys

Invited me

to the frat house tonight.

What?

- They're having - a traffic light party.

A traffic light party.

Oh, thank goodness.

- I was worried - it was some wild event

- Where people hit on each other. - It turns out

They're just going to learn

about traffic safety.

- Uh, it's actually - that first thing.

Everyone dresses to advertise

their relationship status.

Red means

"Stop. I'm in a relationship,"

yellow means

"Slow down, it's complicated,"

and green means

"It's go time!"

[Echo]

Adam, are you still there?

I've got to take a shower

before the party.

Did you know

the bathrooms here are co-ed?

Well, I gotta go. Bye!

We can't let Echo go.

- I know what goes on - at frat parties!

I went to college...

where I took a class called

"The History of Frat Parties."

[dance music thumping]

It's just like I remember it...

from my college textbook.

I knew we'd get in if we brought

someone college-aged with us.

Thanks for coming with us, Slab.

Why are you wearing yellow?

- Because the thing - Echo and I have is...

Complicated.

You and Echo

don't have anything.

That doesn't seem

complicated at all.

Even to me.

Yeah, it's only

complicated in your head.

If anything, you should

just wear a yellow hat.

Forget me.

Why are you in red?

You're not in a relationship.

Shh! Girls want

what they can't have.

If they think I'm unavailable,

they'll be more interested.

Well, they couldn't be

less interested.

[Echo, incredulous] Wow.

You guys drink soda at night?

There's Echo!

[giggling]

Why is she wearing green?

Because she's not

in a relationship!

Not complicated!

[Ivy] I'm wearing green, too.

Ivy? What are you doing here?

This...

[Ivy] Hi.

[woman] Hey there.

You're cute.

Yes, I am.

Maybe we should go somewhere

and be cute together.

Sounds great.

Too bad you're not available.

Bye.

Echo?

Echo Zizzleswift?

- I haven't seen you - since back in high school.

Adam, what are you doing here?

- Th-these are - my old frat buddies,

From my college days.

You know these guys?

Sure... There's...

Bucky, Boomer, Scooter,

Duke, Fat Joey,

Loogie, Knuckles, Sparkles,

Other Duke, Chip, Crazy Eddie,

Honest Ed, Fonzie,

The Captain, El Jefe,

Pancake Pete,

Cobra, Li'l Mickey,

and that guy?

Never seen him before.

You look chilly.

Here, take this shawl.

This is a bath mat.

I'll see you later, Adam.

I'm going to go ask

Pancake Pete to dance.

Oof!

[Tater] How exciting!

A traffic light party!

Why are you in green?

I'm a toad!

Now let's go find that witch

- so you can make her - turn me back.

Ribbit, ribbit,

ribbit.

You guys are my size!

What magical land is this?

We're football players.

We're on the Gnus!

Oh.

I don't watch the news.

I'm so glad we're together.

Gotta go.

You're wearing yellow?

I thought we were a couple!

What's complicated about that?

Don't bother begging.

We're through.

If only I had an outfit

to better represent

my new relationship status,

which, to be clear,

would be green

for available.

My ears hear green,

but my eyes see red.

I can't take any chances.

No! Take some chances!

Take one chance!

Ribbit, ribbit.

Ivy, I need your help.

I'm busy.

But this is important.

Oh, you're in luck.

I just freed up.

Would you please just...

[Ivy] Sorry. Can't talk.

I'm busy again.

- You know when - a relationship is new,

You don't have time

for other people.

Actually, you guys

probably don't know that.

Come on, let's go.

What are we gonna do?

The only other thing

that could break the spell

is a kiss.

Fine.

I guess I have no choice.

From a prince!

Not a bald loser!

In what fairy tale

does a kiss from

a bald loser do anything?

Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit.

Ribbit.

- [Echo, giggling] - Oh, you guys...

Hey, Echo.

You looked hungry,

so I got you a hot dog.

Uh... thank you.

Wait, let me

put ketchup on that.

I hope I don't get any

on your green outfit.

[air whooshing]

Huh...

[squirting]

Hey, butthead!

You got ketchup

all over my red shirt!

Get him!

[Adam] Derby, help!

[man] Hey, get back here!

Gotta find a green outfit.

[Derby] Hey there, gorgeous.

Look who's wearing green.

[screaming] Help!

[bodies thud,

[Adam groans in pain]

Hey, nice tackle.

- Why aren't you - on the football team?

Because I'm in high school.

When you graduate,

you got a spot on the team.

Really? Feel like

I'm on top of the world!

Actually, you're

on top of my pancreas,

which is now on top of

my freshly punctured lung.

That kiss was disgusting!

It almost made me throw up

the flies I ate for lunch.

Mrs. Byrne,

how exactly did Ivy

turn you into a toad?

Using witchcraft.

She pointed at me

and said "Poof!"

Poof.

There you go.

I changed you back.

[gasps in delight]

Ah! Look at my reflection.

I'm beautiful again!

Good, now can we just...

Warlock!

[yelping in fright]

[electricity crackling]

[crowd groans in protest]

Great. Guess the party's over.

Stupid warlock.

Wait! Stop!

[ding]

Wait! Stop again!

- The hydrogen - fuel cell I created

Can power this entire building!

Uh-oh.

All I need is a jar of water,

some wire, two metal coils,

and a car battery.

G.N.U. Scavenger hunt champions

five years running!

Whoo!

Echo, I'm not sure that's

the right kind of coil...

Done!

[electricity crackles]

- [power ramps up, - crowd oohs with delight]

[power whines down]

[crowd groans in disappointment]

I don't understand.

I did everything

exactly the same way.

[Derby] Except have Adam

secretly change your project.

Derby!

What? I didn't say anything.

Sorry. I've got a big mouth.

So I'm not a genius?

- Looks like you're going - back to high school

With the other idiots.

Echo, I'm so sorry.

Save it, Mr. Young.

[scoffing in disgust]

See? Not complicated.

Here you go.

[??]

[??]

Hello?

I graduated,

and I'm ready to join

the football team.

Hello?

Bucky?

Boomer?

Scooter?

Duke?

[sighing in exasperation]

There you are, Slab.

I'm afraid I'll have to

take this diploma back.

What? Why?

I reread your history paper.

There was no war in 1812!

Now, back to high school

with you.

[??]
