[warning buzzer]

Help! Nothing's working!

[voice from station]
You've got to stay calm!

No I don't!
I'm heading right into the sun!

[voice from station]
You just have to wake up!

Huh?

Theodore,
would you please wake up?

Simon wants to talk to us.

Guys, guys, great news!
We all got accepted

to participate
in the Interstellar Flight Academy!

-[gasp]
-Uh, space camp?

It's not called space camp,
Brittany, we've been over this!

Well, I never signed up for it.

[Simon] Yes you did!

I asked all of you and everyone said yes.

Well, sorry but you know,
other things came up and...

Well, I... I can't make it.

Theodore, hold it right there!
You're going.

I know I said I would,

but I've been having nightmares about it.

Alright, who's in?

OK, so the 4 of us.

[Dave] You might have fun, Theodore.

Bye, Dave.

Bye, guys!

-BYE, DAVE!
-Have fun at space camp!

It's not space camp!

[instructor] Welcome to the IFA.

Before we get started,

I need Simon Seville to head over
to the registration office.

Oh, I wonder what that's about?

The rest of you, follow me.

[Eleanor and Brittany] Wow!

Alright, for now,
you only have one objective.

Uh, what's that?

Get to the exit!

[Theodore] Aaah!

Oh, wow!

Woo hoo!

[excited chatter]

Uh... Oh...
I'm not feeling good!

Thanks!

-[Theodore] Whoa!
-[Eleanor] I got you, Theo!

I'm... I'm going to be sick!

[Eleanor] OK, Theo, hold it in.

-We're almost there.
-[Theodore] Beurk!

[Jeanette] Are... are you OK, Theodore?

No, I feel horrible

and... I'm so embarrassed.

You should be, barf boy!

You don't call him barf boy... Mister!

OK, pay attention and take notes.

In a couple of hours
you'll be in a simulator

to test your comprehension
and ability to...

Where's my brother Simon?

He was placed in our advanced group.

OK, let's get started.
You've got a lot to learn.

Based on the rocket's trajectory
and the wind speed...

Remember to always
remain calm in every situation...

Enter the correct launch sequence...

Engage your forward thrusters...

Trouble with the simulator...

79521...

OK, so if you were paying attention,

you should be ready for a test run
in our simulators.

Your objective is to safely
coordinate a lunar landing

while avoiding a fatal asteroid belt

modelled
after the real one in our galaxy.

Seville and Red, this one is yours.

You better not barf!

I didn't want to barf...

Aargh! Oh... Uh...

Uh...

[Theodore] What?

OK, everyone ready?

Wait, um...

[instructor]
Simulation begins in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

-[gasps]
-[instructor] Begin!

Oh, OK. Um. They said uh,
they said the red one.

No, hit the green button!

Uh, wait. The... the green one?

OK, got it.

[alarm]
You hit the wrong button!

Un uh! I hit the green, like you said!

Don't blame me!

-Let me do this!
-But you're going the wrong way!

Shut it! I got it!

[alarm signal]

[ship system]
Mission failure. Mission failure.

-Uh, jerk!
-What happened?

Barf Boy drove us into an asteroid field!

[in unison] Oh, no!

[Theodore] Waah!

[Eleanor] Theodore, are you OK?

I just want to see Simon.

Well, you're in luck, Theodore.

They're serving lunch now.

Oh good. Some nice warm food
will make me feel better, too.

Yuck!

Yeah, sorry, Theodore.

I didn't realize
it'd be cold space food.

Yuck!

Where's Simon?

Yes, Simon?

Yes, is it lunch time?

I was hoping to see my brother.

The advanced group doesn't take lunch.

Your food will be brought in
and we'll continue working.

Do... do you see him?

Uh, no.

Maybe his group eats in another area.

But I need Simon to help me.

I'm no good at this

and... everybody here hates me.

I... I just want to go home!

No, Theodore, you can do this.
You just need practice.

Yeah, and you can start
with the video game.

[Chipmunk song playing]

[instructor] Tomorrow is the last day,

so we'll be in the simulators
for the final test.

Dismissed.

Ah!

Listen, you little baby,
do yourself a favor and go home!

-[Alvin] Hello?
-Hi.

Hi, Alvin. Is Dave there?

What's wrong, Theodore?

I... I want to come home, Alvin.

[sobs] I hate it here.

Well, yeah, it's space camp.
I'll tell Dave to pick you up.

Yeah, and tell him

there's this bully
who's hurting my feelings and...

Wait, wait, hold... bully?

-Yeah, and he...
-Uh, Theodore, hold it.

Just stop, OK?
Little change of plans now.

You're not coming home!
You are going to practice

and show that bully
that he doesn't control you!

-Wait...
-Let me stop you right there.

No buts, OK?

You're going to show him
you can't be broken!

-But I can be!
-Ba, ba, ba! No, you can't!

-Can I talk to Dave?
-No!

Eleanor, we have a problem.

Are we allowed to be here at night?

It's fine, Theodore.

It's like being in the library
before a test.

[Jeanette]
And remember, Theodore,

this is just a simulator.

And blast off!

Whoah!

[Eleanor] Um...

That was a simulation, right?

I... I thought it was, but...

Gosh, now I don't know!

Wait, this... this is real?

[gasps]
Oh no, he heard us!

What do we do?

[Theodore] I can still hear you!

OK, OK... Um, so, Theodore.
What do you see?

[gasps] I see stars.

Lots and lots of stars.

[gasps] I... I think

I just passed the Moon!

[gasp]

-Uh oh.
-[Eleanor] What is it?

[Theodore]
I... I think there's some

asteroids up ahead.

Oh, I'm going to crash!

Fly around them!

Theodore, just...

just do what you were doing
before Red got in your head

and made you lose
your confidence! Just...

Just pretend it's a video game, OK?

Aargh!

Theodore, come in!

Theodore!
Theodore, can you hear us?

[crackle of static]

[Theodore] Yes! Yes,

I can hear you!

[together] Phew!

[Theodore]
I'm through the asteroid belt.

Thank goodness!

OK, now we'll figure out
how to get you back.

-[Red] What are you doing?
-[gasp]

-Well, um...
-You guys are in such trouble!

I'm getting the instructor!

Oh, no! What do we do?

Theodore, wait where you are!

Not that you have a choice!

[Jeanette] Simon!

Don't panic,
but Theodore may be lost in space.

We need your help!

It looks so real, but it can't be!

Unless he's in the advanced simulator.

[Jeanette] What are you doing?

Trying everything I know
to bring him back!

Simulator.

You see! What did I tell you?
The space capsule is right...

there.

You really think I care
that he got some practice time in?

You woke me up for this?

[sigh of relief]

[instructor] Theodore Seville is
a shining example of what one can do

when he or she refuses to give up.

When one defies
their feelings of inadequacy...

That award should be mine!

Alvin, be quiet!

He wouldn't be there if I hadn't...

Shhh...!

I'm just saying,
I'm part of the success!

-Be quiet!
-I insisted he stay!

Stop talking!

Wow!

Uh!

Aaah!

Aahhh!

[bang]

Simon, what are you doing?

Oh, oh, Alvin!
It's the first day of autumn!

I love fall!

The wind rushing through the trees.

Leaves of red and umber, h*-h*,

dancing on the brisk breeze.

And this is why you have no friends.

What was that bang?

That was autumn arriving
at the Seville house.

Oh, alright. Um...
Well, breakfast is ready.

Huh?

Guys, this is humiliating!

That snail just passed us!

Pbbbbt!

[school bell rings]

[Miss Smith] In case some of you
haven't noticed, fall has arrived.

With the coming of fall

comes the annual "Cookies
and Hot Chocolate" bake sale.

It is customary to have 2 volunteers

from each class to help out,

and this year's volunteers
are Alvin and Brittany.

What?

Thank you both for volunteering.

No. Miss Smith, we didn't volunteer!

That's right because, Miss Smith,
we never volunteer.

Oh, OK. I get it.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. I get it too.

Good. So Brittany,
you bake the cookies and Alvin,

you can make the hot chocolate.

OK, so the recipe's called,

"Super Hot Chocolate"

so, all I got to do
is make it super hot!

[beep]

Oh, yes! Super hot!

Better let it cool off before I try it.

And, while my super hot
chocolate is cooling off,

I'll go check on Brittany

and see how many cookies
she's burnt.

Mmm... Oh, that smells yummy.

"Super hot chocolate.
Do not drink."

Drink it!

Oh no! You mustn't!

You want to be good, don't you?

Why be good now, when you can
be good 5 minutes from now?

Right! I'll be good 5 minutes
from now, I promise.

Oh, Theodore.

But just remember, there are
consequences for your actions.

Just drink it.

OK, I'll remember.

Ow!

Theodore! What happened?

I... I burned my thongue

on Alvin's thuper hot chocolate!

Theodore!
This hot chocolate is still boiling!

Why did you drink it?

Becauth, I wath going to be good
5 minuth from now!

I have no idea what that means.

Brit, what are you doing?

Um, baking cookies, Alvin.
What does it look like?

Well, it looks a lot
like surfing the internet.

Yeah, because Jeanette
and Eleanor offered to help.

Uh... she's paying us.

Mmm-hmm.
Yeah, that makes sense.

Hi, guyth!

What's wrong with him?

Theodore burned his tongue
on Alvin's hot chocolate.

[Alvin] Really?

Oh, oh!
Theodore, how was it?

Hot!

Theodore, that's why it's called
Super Hot Chocolate.

Uh, Alvin I saw the recipe, OK?

It was for super hot chocolate.

You know, like fantastic,
wonderful, spectacular!

Not boiling burn your tongue
hot chocolate.

Ohhh! Anyway, Theodore,
how did it taste?

Uh... good? I... I think?

Who wants to try some cookies?

Jeanette's are triple chocolate
and mine are, wait for it,

red velvet fudge.

Oh! I do! I do!

[Jeanette] Try one of mine.

So?

Ith uh... Ith alright, I gueth.

Uh... What?

Here, Theodore, try mine.

I'm going to go out on a limb
and say you love them, right?

Well, it sort of tathes like...
like an old tire.

[gasps] What?

Guys, you see
what's happening here, right?

He's lost his sense of taste,
because of his burnt tongue.

I have?

Oh, no!

[Theodore] No, no, no...

No, no, no...!

[Brittany] What's wrong with Theodore?

[Alvin] He's still upset
about losing his sense of taste!

Winter is coming!

[Chipmunk song playing]

[Simon] Have you seen Theodore?

Nope. He used to be
in the cafeteria at lunch-time,

but those days are over.

[Mildred] I know!

He's so dark and mysterious.

I don't know why
I never noticed him before.

He's such a tortured soul.

I just... I just want to take him up
in my arms and squeeze him.

Um, uh, girls, girls, girls...

I'm right here, OK? I can hear
every word you're saying.

Frankly, it's kind of embarrassing.

Excuse me?

Oh, no. See, we were
talking about Theodore.

What? Theodore?

[Mildred] Do you think he's more
of a werewolf or a vampire guy?

[Pamela]
Oh, definitely a werewolf guy!

[Simon] Uh, Alvin, Alvin. Um...

Come on over here, would you?

What is going on out there?

See this apple?
It... it looks delicious and sweet.

But is it?

Uh, yes. I'm gonna say yes.

No. No, Cheesy.
Not when you've been burnt.

Seriously?
Have you learned nothing?

Oww!
Kevin, that was right on my eardrum!

I... I can't believe it.
What is going on?

Theodore has shown us

that even the most delicious foods
have no flavor

when there is so much pain in the world.

So we eat Melba toast
to remind us of this.

Yes, and as the wise one says,
"Drink the dark chocolate,

"there will be consequences".
We don't really understand,

but it basically means,
"Eat Melba toast

"so you don't have
unrealistic expectations of life."

No, no, Cheesy. That's not it.

He just means, if you drink hot
chocolate and burn your tongue,

food won't taste as good.

[Theodore] All I know

is you shouldn't wait
5 minutes to be good

when you can be good right now.

Where does this man get such wisdom?

Oh, brother.

[Jeanette] Alvin!

You did tell Theodore
his taste will come back, right?

Because I honestly think
he doesn't know!

Are you kidding?
How could anyone not know that?

But he's still not eating
anything but Melba toast!

I tried to talk to him earlier,
but Kevin told me

you need an appointment
to talk to the wise one!

Then you need to make an appointment

before the bake sale this afternoon!

Yeah, or no one will buy anything!

Uh, fine, I'll make an appointment!

-What?
-Pbbbbt!

Guys, we've got to start taking the bus!

Ugh, this turn-out
is worse than I thought.

Yeah, they're all outside with Theodore.

Guys, I just got
an appointment with Theodore.

If we could cheer him up,
the others will follow. Come on!

Sensei, your brother approaches.

-Huh?
-Hey, Theodore!

Excuse me.

-Do you have an appointment?
-Oh, no. I wonder if...

Ha! Ha! Read 'em and weep, pal!

Yeah, OK. It's legit.
You have 5 minutes.

Yeah, well I can do it in 4.

Theodore, Theodore...

there's a bake sale going on
and no one will buy anything,

because they think Melba toast
is a food of enlightenment.

I don't even know
what that means.

I just know that I can't taste
the foods that I love.

But you can! You can!
Your tongue has healed!

Here, here try this!

No, that's a... Huh?

Mmmm!

Wow! Oh, that's so good!

You guys, Alvin brings us good news!

Chewy goodness does exist!

Everyone to the bake sale!

-What a relief!
-Out of my way! I'm starving!

[groaning]

OK, what is wrong with all of you?

Ow! Too much chewy goodness brings...

Ow... pain!

So true. So wise.

Uh, Simon?

It's a long story.
