[Ticking]

So xj9, you r-r-ready
for action?

I can take anything
you can dish out.

We'll see about that.

Bring it on.

Skriiiiiitch

[Whirring]

[Ticking grows louder]

[Jiggling noises]

[Whirring]

Raise a limb!

[Mechanical whirring]

Dynodrill, blazing blades!

[Drill and saw whining]

Ooh, very, very good.

Mighty mallets!

Fists of fury!

Shiva swords!

R-r-rocket paw!

Poppin' shield!

Thor's hammer!
Swiss mix!

Crossbow!

Lobster claw!

Monkey's paw!

Str-r-r-etchy arm
and extendo finger!

[Scratching squeakily]

Stretchy whatsit
and extendo who?

[Groaning]

Xj9, I thought you said
you'd studied.

Uh, I did,
I did!

Chapter eight--
right?

Xj9!

You should be gr-r-rateful

You come
with an instruction manual.

I certainly wish humans did.

Page 99: str-r-retchy arm
and extendo fingers.

Here goes.

[Whirring]

Clank!

[Tinkling merrily]

Wow, that's useful.

Could come inhandy
during a tickle fight.

What are you two
doing here?

We came to invite jenny
to the town square fair.

There's rides,
games.

Everyone--

Everyone in town'll
be there.

And this year,

Tuck's going
to face his fears

And ride
the ferris wheel.

Tuck's afraid
of heights?

No, giant wheels.

Anything bigger
than a car tire

Gives him
the heebie-jeebies.

But this year,

I'm going to b*at mr. Ferris
and his giant hoop of horror.

Yeah.

Anyway,
can you go?

Mom?

Hmm, at an event
with so many human variables,

The odds are quite high

That someone will have
an adverse reaction to xj9.

It only takes
one person screaming

To cause a mass panic.

C'mon, doc.

I doubt anybody'll
even notice her.

A 6 1/2 foot
mechanical girl,

And no one
will notice?

I didn't realize

I was
such a scary-looking freak.

You're not!

It's easy to see

You're just like
everybody else.

If you get past the whole
scary, freaky robot thing

And all your scary, freaky
robot powers.

[Whirring]

Please, mom!

There's got to be
some way I can go.

I'm sorry, xj9.

[Metallic wobbling]

[Chuckling nervously]

Tuck, we better go.

Aw, but I want to see
the fight!

[Wobbling continues]

You never let me do
anything I want!

Work, work, work!

I never get
to have any fun!

If you don't let me go,
I'll--i'll--

Don't you raise
your lasers to me,

Young lady.

Wahhhhhhhhhh!

[Crying]

Thunk!

Xj9, calm down.

You're scaring me.

Great, even you're scared
of the freaky robot.

Why can't I look
like everyone else?

Maybe you can.

I can create
a synthetic human exo-skin

With cybernetic sensors

That will link up
with your robotic exterior

And give you the appearance
of a normal teenage girl.

Oh, thank you,
mom!

I can hardly wait
to try my new outfit

Tomorrow
at the fair!

Xj9, something
this complicated

Takes a while
to develop.

How long?

Maybe three to four months.

In other words,
never.

Well, maybe with a few
design modifications,

I could have
something ready.

Oh, thank you!

[Coughs weakly]

[Gagging]

I can hardly wait
until tomorrow.

[Ticking]

[Ticking slows]

Brrrrring!

Is it ready?

Huh, what?

[Yawning]

Good morning, dear.

Is this my exo-skin?

Well, let's just call this
a prototype.

You see--

Oh, boy, I can hardly wait
to try it on.

Proper materials,
certain changes--

[Jenny]
well, what do you think?

Uhhhhhhh...

I got to get
to the fair!

Xj9, wait!

[Door closing]

The odds of this
turning into a disaster--

[Chuckling]
are quite high.

[Calliope music]

[Clucking]

[Giggling]

[Squirting]

[Chuckling goofily]
[screaming]

[Ringing loudly]

[Tuck]
okay, tuck,
you can do this.

Just stay calm

And take deep,
even breaths.

[Creaking ominously]

[Inhaling deeply]

[Exhaling shakily]

[Inhaling deeply]

[Exhaling shakily]

[Inhaling deeply]

You going to be
okay there, tiger?

Fine--fine!

[Chuckling nervously]

From this angle--

Gulp!

It doesn't even look
like a whee--

Whee--whee--

Tuck?

Whee--

Wow, look at the size
of this wheel.

This must be

The most
giantest wheel

In the whole
tristate area.

Slam!

[Tuck screaming]
no!

Let me off!

[Jenny breathing heavily]

[Calliope music slows]

[Music stops]

[Spooky music]

[Wakeman panting]

[Groaning]

Oh, my heavens!

That wacko wakeman

Has created some sort
of rag doll frankenstein!

And it's gone wild
and k*lled its creator!

[Shrieking]

[Screaming]

[Man]
run for your life!

[Ringing loudly]

Sploosh!

[Xylophone scales]

[Horn squeaking]

[Tires squealing]

What's going on?

Why is everyone
screaming?

[Screaming]

What's the problem?

No, spare me,
monster.

Spare me!

Monster?
I'm not a monster.

I'm a normal
teenage girl.

Aren't i?

[Shrieking]

I am a monster.

[Man with german accent]
und you've terrorized

Us poor townspeople
long enough!

[Loud biting noise]

It's time vee took the law
into our own hands!

[Licorice whip cracking]

[Crowd shouting angrily]

[Shouting less enthusiastically]

[Weakly]

[Panting]

Yah.

und don't--

Come back.

Anyvone want
a corn dog?

[Tuck screaming]

What's all that
screaming?

That's me.

[Screaming]

Not you--
listen.

Wow, look at 'em all
down there.

They look like ants.

Frantic, screaming ants.

You saved the fair,

Thank you!

No problem.

Keep up
the good work, robogirl.

I will.

That's jenny.

She has freaky
robot powers.

Cool.

[Sighs]

What's wrong, xj9?

I thought you wanted
to be part of the fair.

I wanted to be
part of the fair,

But I didn't want

Xj9, we are appr-r-r-oaching

Just securing my equipment.

This could be
your toughest challenge ever,

A constant test
of your abilities.

The pressure to perform
could become unbearable.

There is no dishonor

Okay, bye-bye,
sweetie!

Have a good
first day!

[Tires squealing]

[Laughing hysterically]


Into the new school year--

My mom's already
made me a laughingstock.

"Recovering
from public humiliation

In ten
easy steps."

Wow, school
hasn't even started,

And you're
already studying?

You robots
are hard core!

All the magazines
agree:

Success in high school
equals popularity.

And the key to popularity is
to get in with the "in" crowd.

You know, jen, I enjoy
a certain degree of popularity.

[Quietly]
uh-huh.

[Brad]
but not all popular kids
are so cool

Or make
the best friends.

[Scanner humming]

Ding!

In fact, some of
the most popular kids

Are the nastiest.

Perfect example:

The krust cousins.

[Stiltedly]
what is up,
homeslices?

My name is jenny.

I've been doing
some calculations

And have concluded
that it would be totally fab

If after a day of serious study,
we could hang out, kick it,

And chill and do
our homework together!

Yes, that sounds
very--dope,

But unfortunately,
our study group

Is all full up.

Right, tiff?

Uh, yeah, yeah,
that's right, brit.

Totally full up.

[Both agreeing]

But we'll call you
the minute we get an opening.

Okay, I'll wait
for your call--homegirls!

We must remember
to call her--

When we have room
for a full metal loser.

[Cackling]

Girl, stop it.

Jenny, you don't need

To suck up to brit and tiff
to be popular.

Just lighten up!
Be yourself!

Be myself?

But I want
to fit in!

Snap!

Uh, if you really
want to fit in,

Next time,
try unlocking your locker.

But hey, don't stress out
about it.

I'm sure the rest of your day
will be smooth sailing.

Clang!

Crunch!

Smash!

[Shattering]

[Spraying]

Thunk!

Boink!

[Air sputtering]

Hello?

Is there someone here
who can help me?

[Static crackling]

Oh, hello, problem droid.

Can you help me?

[High-pitched whining]

Hello?
Problem droid?

Hello?

Here, try talking
into this.

The problem droid is
a little hard of hearing.

Thanks, brit.

Excuse me, problem droid,
can you hear me now?

I had some questions
about my schedule.

First of all, do I have
to wear an athletic supporter

In every class
or just in social studies?

And if there's no recess,
when do we play freeze tag?

Which hall
is the "study hall"?

And I can't find
my next class;

It's called "cafeteria."

[Echoing]
cafeteria, cafeteria,
cafeteria...

[Rizinsky
clears throat]

My microphone
please.

Here is the cafeteria,
miss xj9.

Here is where I want you
to spend your lunch hour.

What I do not want are any more
of your little broadcasts.

Are we clear,
freshman?

[Brit]
chin up, jenny.

That rizinsky's

Nothing more
than a glorified hall monitor.

We thought your broadcast
was pure hilarity.

Does that mean
I can sit with you guys?

[Muttering]

[Snaps]

Whoosh!

It seems we've
just run out of room,

But no worries,
darling.

We'll call you
as soon as there's a free seat.

Oh, okay.

I'll wait
for your call.

[Both snickering]

[Whistling]

[Creaking]

Crash!

Hey, jen.

So how's your plan
for popularity working out?

See for yourself.

Jenny, you got to let people
get to know you.

You know, open up,

Let people see what you got
going on on the inside.

Oh, open up!

I get it!

[Mechanical whirring]

[All]
whoa!
Hey!

[All talking at once]

How dare
that sheet metal twit

Try to steal
our spotlight!

What if she actually
becomes popular?

This problem may just
take care of itself.

[Rizinsky]
miss xj9,

Could you join us down here
on planet earth

For a moment please?

Do you realize
you could get expelled

For bringing weapons
to school?

These aren't weapons--

Although I do have some lasers
around here somewhere.

Vice principal
rizinsky,

Jenny would never
activate her lasers

During school hours.

In fact, she was
just about to

Override her
superhero mode.

[Metallic wobbling]

There you go.

Very well, I'll
let it go this time.

But this is your final warning,
freshman.

[Bell rings]

Final warning?

Ooh, one more,

And rizinsky'll
expel her for sho'.

But who knows
how long that will take.

I say we give her
a gentle nudge--

Over the edge.

[Cackling]

[Pigott]
good afternoon,
class.

Welcome to
chemistry 101.

Let's begin
our first experiment, shall we?

First, we'll expose
the chemicals

To life-giving flame!

[Weak hissing]

Uh, that's life-giving
flame!

[Sputtering]

Well, students,
the bunsen burner is broken.

So we'll take
a quick essay exam instead.

Mr. Pigott?

Yes, brittany?

It seems a terrible shame

Not to have any chemistry
in chemistry 101.

I'm sure jenny
has a cool laser or something

To help you heat up
your beaker.

Is that true,
miss xj9?

Uh, I suppose.

This laser beam--this is from
your home laboratory?

Well, sorta.

But you can't maintain

A constant 1,200 degrees kelvin,
can you?

Who says I can't?

Wonderful!

Let's get started!

Uh, okay.

[Whirring]

Zap!

[Bubbling]

[Kids talking excitedly]

I thought the plan was to crush
little miss tin pants,

Not make her
more popular.

Not to worry.

That metallic freak's chance
for popularity

Is about to go up
in flames.

Because here's--
[whispering inaudibly]

Uh-huh.

Mm-mm.

Ooh, that's good,
girl.

[Crackling]

[High-pitched whining]

My beaker!

[Crackling]

My lab!

[Crackling continues]

[Popping]

[Shrieking]

My hair!

[Fire alarm ringing]

[Shrieking]

I'll take care
of the class.

You clear out
the rest of the school.

Whoosh!

[Cackling]

Not only will that robotic
social climber be expelled,

But we'll get out
of chemistry class forever!

[Both cackling]

Whoosh!

Crash!

I think
that's everybody.

[Brit and tiff]
hey, excuse me!

[Both shouting
with attitude]

People are in here
freaking out!

Help us!

[Both shouting at once]

[Jenny]
come on!

Climb up!

Hurry!

You guys okay?

[Both shrieking]

You're welcome!

[High-pitched whistling]

[Groaning]

That can't be good.

[Panting]

Tiff, tiff!

What happened
in there?

Where's jenny?
Did you s--

Step off, fool!

Jenny's right behind u--

[Crashing]

Has she blown
a circuit?

Dat boiler's
'bout to explode!

Jenny!

[Loud expl*si*n]

[Clanging]

Oh, no.

She was so young.

She was going to do
great things.

She was going to transform
into our homecoming float!

[Weeping]

Jenny, you did it!
You saved the school!

You're a hero!

Clang!

[Rizinsky]
there she is.

There's the
little prankster

Who started
the fire.

But it's not
jenny's fault.

She saved us all.

I can explain it.

My safety override
just went haywire.

Don't worry,
miss xj9.

We'll find
an explanation--

Downtown.

Hold it right there,
coppers.

You'll not touch
one r-r-rivet on her head.

This girl saved
our lives.

She's a hero,
a heeeero!

From now on,
you're hanging with us.

[Metallic rattling]

[Gasps]

Hey, this must be

What caused my malfunction.

Well, well,
what have we here?

Now, where have I seen
one ofthese before?

So here are
my little firebugs.

That titanium twerp!

We should've known
she'd rat us out.

From now on,

That teen machine
is public enemy number one.

Bye, guys!

Ring me when you make bail!

I'll wait
for your call!

Wow,
some first day, huh?

Don't worry.

It can't possibly
get any worse.

What do you mean?

It was awesome!

You were right.

All I had to do
was be myself.

Now I'm in
with the "in" crowd.

I can't wait
for the rest of the year.

Crash!
