...
Michel was clearing the garage of the old house with a broom. He looks at the camera. One advice guys. Don´t use another project as your own at a science fair.
He looks over at the drive away and sighs. It causes trouble, believe me!
Arthur came into the garage .. Hey, Michael, it´s time for dinner. Are you done here?
Michel sighs again. No, not really. Can´t believe that all dust of the world lies in here! Doing these stuff for two weeks, even grounded for that time! all for a little plane model! And Sarah was very disappointed.
Arthur sighs as well I tried to warn you about using dads old model but you didn't listen to me I remember how it all started Michael.
Sarah shows the title card, she looks upset.
D.W.´s voice: Michael Science Fair Trouble,
Michael´s voice: D.W.!
On the first day of school Mr Ratburn told his class about the science fair.
I want each of you to do a science project, finishing next Monday, and on parents night next Friday, the best project will get a blue ribbon!
I am going to make a rocket for my project! Buster laughs.
Aw, nut. Said Michael. That what i was going to do.
Buster shrugs. Sorry.
That's okay. Michael says. I can think of something else.
A week passed everyone had a project, everyone but Michael.
I m growing crystal they look just like diamonds! Muffy was exited!
Sarah cuddles up to Michael. Hey, you will be surprised! I make a little glider out of an old blanket and sticks, and it will fly!
I m making a bird feeder to study birds! Says Francine. What are you doing Michael?
It's a secret. He said before he left.
On his way through the hallway he passes Ashley and Jesse, the girl giggles. Oh, my science project will be amazing! I make a solar panel out of aluminium foil that breeds an egg!
Jesse smiles while she cuddles up to him. Wait for mine, I make a machine that folds origami when you turn a winder with one hand!
Michael sighs and walks on. What project should I do?
Later after D.W. went to bed
Arthur said Michael where are your going'?
Michael went up to the attic he looked in an trunk and found dad 's third grade science project it was the model of the solar system with the sun and all nine planets but it was dusty and bent and the planet Mars had fallen off.
Michael had an Idea.
Over the weekend Michael cleaned the model he glued Mars back in place then he pained the sun orange and painted each of the planta a different colors
Michael said i will win for sure Arthur"
Arthur said Yes but what if you get Caught Michael?
Michael said Arthur i would stop worrying
Arthur said I don't know Michael Maybe you should not bring it in?

...Saturday four weeks later, Read´s house
A van stood on front of the house, full with furniture and boxes, even the Read´s car is packed with suitcases and stuff, beside the car of Bitzi who helps Jane to pack the kitchen stuff.
While Jane and David preparing the last things, D.W. searches for one of her plushies. Arthur and Michael stood outside the house with Buster, Sarah and Francine.
Sarah wraps her arms around Michael, she seems sad. So i only see you in the afternoons and weekends, no more in school. It´s not fair!
He fondles her hair. It´s okay, we can still spend a lot of time together.
Francine shook her head. Arthur, with who i should play ball games in recess ?

All five kids sighed. David waved from the car. Alright, we´re ready, lets go! Bitzi and Jane left the house, Buster´s mother smiles. So, Buster, Sarah, Francine, jump in , lets go!
The two cars and the van drove down the street to the new house. Arthur, Michael and D.W. look back to their old home. Bye house, was a beautiful time!
When they approach at the new house, the kids left the car, David held up the keys, walking to the front door. Ready everyone?
All noded, then he opnes the door.
The kids` jaws dropped when the get in. They only knew the house from outside.
Even the kitchen was huge. All three ran upstairs. Arthur opened a door. He laughs. What a big bedroom! It´s mine!
Michael ran to the next door, D.W. opens one on the other side. What a big bathroom!
Michael looks over. This bedroom is mine! D.W. enters the next room, this is mine! and Kate´s!
The last door let to a bigger bedroom with a little bathroom beside. Jane came up, Kate on her arms, and points to that door. There will be the bedroom for David and me alright?

D.W. laughs. YES!
