Frankie was practically jumping in her seat as she waited; the teacher had just announced that there was going to be a new student joining the class. She looked at Cody and sent him an excited look and he reciprocated by giving her a thumbs up and mouthing the word 'noble' before turning to look back at the front of the class as their teacher regained their attention.

"Welcome, our new student, Luna Meddler." He said, gesturing towards a girl that walked in with a black bag slung over her shoulder.

The girl was plain looking, pale skin, brown hair with bangs and a headband, her clothes consisted of a light green T-shirt with the image of a propeller on the front. She wore skinny jeans and had a yellow belt, her sneakers were two shades of gray and were neatly tied. She faced towards the chalkboard, not allowing the other students see her face as she inspected the words written on them as she was introduced.

"Luna, will you please introduce yourself to the class?" the teacher asked, shuffling his papers to straighten them out.

Luna turned and faced the class, immediately a series of gasps circulated around the room. Her yellow eyes flecked with green swiveled about, frightening many students as her gaze would pause at many of them, including Cody Burns and Frankie Greene.

"Noble." Cody whispered in awe.

"Hi." She said, a hint of boredom in her voice.

Frankie glanced at Cody, she was more shocked than scared then she looked back at Luna and made a friendly wave. Luna scowled deeper at her before she walked past her and sat at her desk, right between Frankie and Cody.

"Alright class, turn to page 56 of your textbooks and read the passage." The teacher said, getting up and turning on a projector that gave a 3 dimensional image of their subject, the Rain Forest.

Everybody did as they were told and Frankie turned to Luna, glancing past her at Cody as Luna examined her book with disdain. She communicated through a mix of movements to talk to Luna after school and Cody nodded in understanding before they turned back to their work, not seeing Luna glance at them and narrow her eyes before turning back to her work.

When school ended Frankie and Cody searched for Luna but could not find her and ended up walking home disappointed.

"I wonder why she seemed so distant with everybody, it's like she doesn't want to get to know anybody." Cody frowned.

"Maybe she's shy and has to get used to her surroundings first." Frankie suggested.

"You don't have to be timid to be shy." Frankie explained.

Cody paused for a moment before he began to speak.

"Maybe she was teased where she came from, notice how she seemed to make sure everybody saw her eyes first?" Cody added.

"Yeah, maybe she wanted to be sure everybody saw so we would know she wasn't ashamed of them, so we would get used to them and then try to make friends." Frankie said, smiling at the thought of how brave you would have to be to pull such a stunt.

"Let's try again tomorrow." She said.

Cody nodded.

"Agreed." He smiled.

The next day at recess Cody and Frankie spotted Luna trying to toss a ball into a hovering basketball hoop but fail, the ball bouncing back each time. She scowled as she tried again and made a grumble of annoyance with each miss.

"Hi!" Frankie called out as she and Cody approached Luna.

Luna turned to look at them before narrowing her eyes and turning back to her task, grunting as she tossed the ball again only to miss.

Frankie looked at Cody before trying again.

"So uh, what are you doing?" she asked.

"I am attempting to hone my underdeveloped physical calibrations without interruption." Luna growled, catching the ball again.

Cody watched before giving Frankie a thumb's up and approached Luna as she caught the ball again.

"You don't just throw the ball you have to aim with your whole body." He explained, holding out a hand for the ball.

Luna frowned at him but handed him the ball and watched.

"My dad says you focus your whole body, down to the balls of your feet aaand-" he explained, crouching slightly before leaping and tossing the ball, making it go through the hoop and bounce back.

"It's that easy." He encouraged, bouncing her the ball.

She caught it and frowned, looking at the hoop before leaping up and throwing the ball, making it fly over the hoop and into the bushes past it.

Luna scowled angrily and stomped her foot in frustration until Cody motioned for her to stay and went to get the ball.

"Where did you aim?" Frankie asked.

"In the hoop." Luna growled.

"My dad says when you start you have to aim at the square behind the hoop, if you hit it you have a 90% chance of getting the ball in." she offered.

Luna frowned at her just as Cody approached with the ball and handed it to Luna before Frankie motioned for the ball and Luna made a low growl of irritation before handing it over.

Frankie turned to the hoop before focusing and tossing the ball, hitting the square on the back board before it went into the hoop and bounced back. When she caught it she handed it to Luna who frowned at the ball then at the hoop before looking at Frankie.

"Go on." Frankie encouraged followed by Cody.

"Don't throw it too hard, use your whole body." He reminded.

Luna looked up at the hoop before crouching slightly and tossing the ball. It flew up, hit the square in the back board before it fell into the hoop, bouncing back to her. She caught the ball and grinned triumphantly before looking at Francine and Cody who applauded her success.

"Great job, you're a fast learner." Frankie complimented.

"You'll be making hoops with ease in no time." Cody added.

Luna smiled at them, still triumphant before tossing the ball again, repeating her last one and making it in before it bounced back to her.

"I'm Francine Greene by the way." Frankie said with delight as she tossed the ball again.

"And I'm Cody Burns." Cody added as Luna caught the ball her third time and looked at them.

She seemed concerned at whether or not to turn away or say something before turning towards them.

"Don't you already know my name?" she asked, confused.

Cody and Francine looked at each other before smiling.

"Of course." Frankie said before holding out her hand.

"We just want to make it official we know each other." Cody explained.

Luna looked at Frankie's hand before holding the ball under one arm and taking it with her right.

"Uh I'm Lunar Eclipse Meddler." She said.

Cody and Frankie looked at each other again before shrugging.

"Nice to meet you Lunar." Cody said.

"I like your name." Francine said with a smile as she shook her hand before letting go.

Luna smiled before turning back to the hoop.

"Thanks, I chose it myself." She said and threw the ball, earning a confused exchange of looks before shrugs.

Just then the bell rang and Luna carried the basketball back to the ball cart as Cody and Frankie followed her.

"Sooo wanna come over to my house after school? We're giving the bots a car wash." Cody asked.

Luna turned from the ball cart and looked at him, cocking an eyebrow in confusion.

"Bots?" she asked looking at Frankie.

"Cody's family is a team of emergency rescuers; they each have a vehicle that can change its shape to a robot to help with the task they each serve." Frankie explained.

Luna cocked her other eyebrow before she slowly nodded.

"Alright, I'll meet you after school." She confirmed before walking back to class.

Cody and Frankie watched as she went before giving each other a grin and a high five.

Luna was walking towards the base with Cody and Frankie when she saw the base and looked at it in surprise.

"It seems so…small." She commented, surprised.

"It's bigger than it looks, we also have an underground basement, that's where the real space is." Cody said excitedly.

"There are also tunnels that lead from the bunker all over the island, but I wouldn't recommend going in them." Frankie said, adding in the hint of a warning.

"Yeah, the tunnels are prone to collapsing so we're not allowed to go in them anymore." Cody explained.

"Really?" Luna said, eyeing the building, her eyes glinting with mischievous excitement.

"Yeah, let me go in and tell everybody we're here so you can meet everybody." He said before running inside.

Frankie walked towards the building at a leisurely pace with Luna before they walked in. Inside they met four adults and four robots, each unique to their human, Cody walked back to them and motioned to each adult.

"This is my dad, and this is Kade, this is Dani, and this is my other brother Graham." Cody explained.

Luna nodded to each person but constantly kept looking at the robots.

"So each robot is modified to fit their operator?" she asked, looking at each machine.

"Not exactly, each bot is designed to carry out their vehicle task while also offering a more advanced advantage in their bipedal mode." Mr. Burns explained.

"Like my bot is great for excavation and mechanics and can move heavy objects with ease in his bot mode." Graham offered.

"Yeah, and Heatwave here adds a little boost when I need to reach high places." Kade added with a grin.

Luna blinked and looked at the bot he called Heatwave, obviously he turned into a fire truck and she inspected him curiously.

"You name your robots?" she asked.

Immediately Kade earned several warning glares before he decided to speak again.

"Uhhh yeah, I just gave him a nickname to make it easier to identify my bot." he explained then smiled nervously.

Luna cocked an eyebrow before looking back at the bots.

"Cody says you just moved to Griffin Rock, how are you enjoying the island so far?" Dani asked, stepping in front of Kade.

Luna shrugged.

"It's okay I guess."

Mr. Burns smiled.

"Well you've only just got here, it takes time to get used to new surroundings." He said wisely.

Luna looked up at him before shrugging again, showing little signs of listening as she glanced at the bots again.

"I guess." She said.

At that moment Mr. Burns got a call and he answered it.

"Griffin Rock Rescue." He said pressing the button on a clip attached to his shirt before looking surprised and glancing at Luna.

"I see, well rest assured Luna is safe in the firehouse, standing right in front of me right now, I'm sorry for the worry." He said before looking down on Luna.

"Luna, did you forget to tell your father you were going to be visiting after school?" he asked.

Luna blinked, clearly confused.

"Ask? Why would I ask?" she said, surprised.

"You're supposed to ask permission from your parents or at least tell them where you're going before you do." Frankie explained.

"It's for safety, if you got lost and nobody knew where you were that could cause a panic." Cody added.

Luna blinked again, the idea of permission and getting lost an alien idea.

"Weren't you taught that at home or at school?" Graham asked in surprise.

"Uhh well…no." she said blinking in surprise.

"Well you know now, how about we go over some basics with you?" Dani offered.

"Alright." She shrugged, glancing at the bots.

"First off you should know your family name, address, and phone number." Mr. Burns said, counting them off on his fingers while Graham wrote them down.

"You also need to let your parents know where you're going and what time you'll be back, with their permission of course." Kade piped in.

"Maybe we could discuss these with your father so he'll know to inform you about these safety ideas." Graham suggested as he continued to write.

"Uhh sure." Luna said, staring at the bots.

"Maybe we should also discuss with him about your listening habits." Mr. Burns smiled.

Luna blinked and looked at him.

"Oh...why?" she asked.

Mr. Burns shook his head in amusement just as a horn honked and a truck pulled up in the driveway. Seconds later Mac stepped out of the car and hurried into the station before spotting Luna and sighing in relief before standing beside her.

"Thank you, I was really worried when she didn't come home." Mac sighed.

"Mr. Meddler have you ever gone over the basic safety rules with your daughter? She seems like she never even heard of asking permission before." Mr. Burns asked with evident concern.

"Actually I don't think we have yet, we just moved in and the thought had not crossed my mind." He said, surprised.

"Well my son Graham made a list of rules she should learn to prevent this from happening again." Mr. Burns offered.

Graham pulled the paper from his notepad and handed it over.

"I also added a list of other safety rules she should know, I thought she might want to hear about fire and stranger safety as well." Graham added as Mac took the paper.

"Thank you, I'll be sure to go over them with her once we get home." Mac promised then looked at Luna.

"Let's go home." He said and began to steer her towards the truck when Cody and Frankie stepped in the way.

"But we invited Luna to wash the bots with us." Francine said sounding disappointed.

"And I was going to give her a quick tour of the station." Cody added as Mac listened.

"Oh? Do you still want to Luna?" Mac asked looking at the surprised Luna.

"Sure, yeah." She said, confused then she glanced back at the bots and frowned.

"Great, well we got the soap buckets all ready." Cody grinned.

"Mr. Meddler do you want to join us?" Frankie offered.

"Sure." He smiled before rolling up his sleeves.

"And call me Mac, all my friends do."

Within moments everybody was scrubbing, Luna was with Cody and as they washed the fire truck. Mr. Burns and Mac washed the police car while Kade and Graham washed the bulldozer and Dani washed the helicopter with Frankie. Once they were done scrubbing they rinsed the bots and gathered together to celebrate.

"Well done team, another job well done." Mr. Burns said as everybody but Luna and Mac joined in the talk.

Luna watched, frowning at the strange display before Cody and Francine walked up.

"Do you want to tour the firehouse now?" Cody asked.

Luna nodded before glancing at the bots as everybody walked off then she hurried to catch up, a thoughtful look on her face.

"The room we were washing the bots in is the garage; this is the living area and up there is where we sleep." Cody explained before pointing up a pole to signify the rooms.

He then led them to the command center then down an elevator to the basement, Luna examined the bookcase and the games while Cody explained how the group used it as a recreational area. Soon Luna turned her attention to a console and looked at a red switch before adjusting it.

"Oh WAIT!" Cody called just as the center platform of the floor began to sink and Cody was forced to leap onto the platform as it sank down.

Frankie followed and leapt on, along with everybody else as they descended into the lower levels.

"Whoa what is this place?" Luna gasped, examining the room curiously.

"Uhhh…" Cody began.

"It's the bunker, it was made during a world war and we sometimes use it as a hangout." Frankie explained.

"Yeah, that." Cody laughed nervously.

Luna looked around before spotting a tunnel door and walking towards it.

"Is this the tunnel you were talking about? The one that can go around the island?" she asked.

"Yeah but it's sealed now, after it began to collapse it was sealed off for safety reasons." Cody explained.

Luna seemed a little disappointed before she backed up.

A few minutes later everybody was back on top waving as Mac drove away with Luna. Once they were out of sight Cody turned to Frankie.

"That went well, maybe we could invite her over to the lab next time?" Frankie offered.

"Yeah…but did you notice how she seemed focused on the bots?" he asked.

"I noticed, she kept us on our toes the whole time." Heatwave suddenly said.

"Do you think she suspects?" Kade asked.

"Not likely, but we should be careful, just in case." Mr. Burns said and everybody went back inside.
