Angel: Regarding the whole Nora/Jenny's sisters from the special, I personally would like to think that she cares enough for them. After all, if she really didn't care, she would've scrapped them a while ago. But then again, when you think about the way she treats her other creations in the past, I think it's just something she has to process. They might've done something more with her treatment of them if they didn't cancel the show. And sadly, we will most likely never see that transition of her seeing her inventions aside from Jenny differently.
Unless Nick manages to surprise us by bringing it back on the same level as the original and not a crappy revival.
And I saw the new Owl House episode on YouTube before it was taken down because it was a leak, so gonna have to wait until it gets released online officially before I do anything else.
"And that, Tuck and Piri, is where babies come from," Jenny states to the two kids while they're standing on the sidewalk. The two are horrified from the answer, even Brad put off by it. Amy twitches a brow at Jenny. "That's my understanding of it anyway."
"How about we never have to talk about this again?" Amy smiles weakly at the robot, since a, she doesn't wanna tell them the actual truth. And b, she didn't need to deal with a messed-up Piri in her life right now. The wind blows as they start walking.
"Brr, that's an ill wind a-blowing," Brad comments as they look around.
"Seems more like foreshadowing to me," Jenny states to him.
"More like foreboding something if that makes sense," Amy shives a little from the cold.
"No, that's an omen for sure," Tuck tells the group.
"Really?" Piri stares at him curiously.
"What? No, maybe the weather was off today," Claudia shrugs a little.
"Since when do you doubt the forecast?" Emily raises a brow, hands on her hips. All of them look up ahead and gasp as feet step forward, along with a cane. The baldness shines from his head, his weary eyes narrow at them, he grips his cane. "Jenny! Amy!" He growls at the two, lunging at them but not really as he coughs and uses his cane. "You ruined my life!" He hits the both of them with his cane, Jenny not affected by it.
"Ow! We don't even know you," Amy protests as she pushes the cane away. His legs give out as he falls to the ground on his back.
"Who are you, and what are you talking about?" Jenny demands as she doesn't recognize him either.
"I'm your old pal...Sheldon," He looks up at them and they stare at him silently.
"Crazy old person," Tuck mumbles to the others loud enough for them to hear.
"Move away slowly," Brad warns everyone, but Amy and Jenny didn't seem to be doing so.
"I'm Sheldon, I tell ya. I just got me a few wrinkles since you abandoned me..." He falls back onto the sidewalk. "75 years ago!"
"That's crazy talk, Pops," Brad looms over him.
"We just saw Sheldon yesterday," Jenny adds in.
"Yeah, hanging out with those freaky Jenny/Amy-worshipping aliens," Tuck finishes off. Amy rubs her chin as she examines him.
"Well, he kinda looks like Sheldon, maybe it's his grandpa? Oh wait, it's not, he's shown me his family tree and I don't recognize him," She murmurs to them in thought.
"Those awful aliens. I remember like it was yesterday."
"It was yesterday, you old-" Tuck gets his mouth covered by the old man.
"Hush, boy! I'm telling a story. When Jenny and Amy hurled those aliens into outer space, I was aboard."
Jenny and Amy spin around the ship, hurling it off into space with Sheldon still inside of it. "HEEEEEEEELP!" He held up a poster of Earth to them. "I tried to get them to turn around. But there was a bit of a communication gap." They waved to him as he was now floating in space! "Catching a ride back was impossible."
He tried to hitchhike...or maybe spacehike as he had some bags and a spacesuit. However, there was a bunch of traffic, and no one seemed interested in giving him a ride back home. "I had to find work to survive."
He scratched his head while wearing work clothes, looking up at the alien with multiple arms doing various jobs. "I couldn't keep up as a mechanic, couldn't master beauty salon work." As he was cutting the toenail hair of an alien, he got slimed on. "And couldn't stomach the fast food industry." He handed a small alien a drink...but it turned out the alien was the meal, hence why it made him sick.
"How is it that one day has passed for us, but 75 years have gone by for you?" Brad couldn't help but ask.
"Uh, duh!" Claudia points to her brain in annoyance.
"Hello, theory of relativity, anyone?" Sheldon sits up and they blankly stare at him aside from Claudia. He sighs wearily, looking at Claudia for help.
"Oh my—when people reach the speed of light, time decreases along with gravitational forces, therefore observers who are moving relative to one another will get different measures of time that passes between two events," She explains to the group, a majority of them looking bored while Tuck and Piri play video games.
"Oh, you young punks never did pay attention in school," Sheldon chastises the group as he sees this.
"Yeah well, you were one of them way back when," Amy rolls her eyes to the back of her head and Jenny realizes the time.
"School. We're gonna be late. I wish we could help, mister. But we gotta go," Jenny states as they leave him behind.
The bell rings and then Don Prima slides into the seat in front of Jenny. "Hey, robot girl," He whispers quietly to her. "I was out sick."
"You wanna know what we covered in class?" She asks, offering her notes.
"No, the gossip, what'd I miss?" He corrects the robot, Amy silently rolling her eyes from her seat behind Jenny.
"Oh, yeah, listen to this." Suddenly a fart is heard and she blushes in embarrassment, glancing at Sheldon who's sitting to Amy's left.
"Not me. What's the matter, Jen? Not using unleaded anymore?" He laughs as Amy stares at him. Sheldon would do something to prevent Jenny to talking to Don Prima...but then again, he wouldn't fart to do so.
"What are you doing here?" Jenny demands, now annoyed from his presence, while Amy is wondering how he managed to either be allowed in or not get caught.
"Gotta turn in my homework. Been saving this baby for 75 years," He holds up an old yellowed piece of paper...which then turns into dust, to his dismay.
"Something's different about you," Pteresa points at him. "Did you get colored contacts?"
Sheldon then removes his teeth. "Got my teeth whitened." She recoils back in disgust as he leans forward at Amy's desk to show Pteresa. He shoves it right in front of Amy, the girl recoiling back in disgust. She eventually falls to the ground from trying to get away from it.
Sheldon attempts to open his locker. "Hey!" Jenny storms up to him. "Just 'cause you think you're Sheldon doesn't mean you can go breaking into his-" He opens the door with ease, since he still remembers the locker combination. "Locker..."
Then a bunch of old unsent love notes to both Jenny and Amy pile out. "Oh, dear. I'd blush, but my blood flow ain't what it used to be."
"What do you mea-" Amy freezes once she's joined them. She looks down at the notes and then up at Sheldon. He laughs nervously and then she slowly backs away, turning around as she wants to wipe her brain of that memory now.
It's gym class at Tremorton until Sheldon runs up to the basketball court. "Stop! Stop!" He calls out, holding out his hands. "You kids are doing it all wrong. Basic physics tell us that mass times inertia-"
"Nail the geezer!" Someone calls out and they start hitting him with dodgeballs, covering him in them.
"Hey, mister," Jenny and Amy rush over to him. "Are you okay?"
"Sweet humiliation. Just like old times," He pops out of the pile, looking up at Amy. "And you'd always help me just like this, Amy." Amy looks confused as he gets hit so hard he leans over the pile. Jenny and Amy glare at the culprit.
"What?" Brad asks innocently to them. "Sheldon or not, he had it coming."
Amy then picks up a dodgeball and throws it into his face so hard that a tooth flies out. "Thanks, Amy," Jenny smirks a little.
"Oh, dang," Sheldon complains as the girls help him to the infirmary. "I ain't felt this poorly since you de-atomized my medulla oblongata," He states as they help him stand, his back cracking a little. Amy gasps sharply as Jenny recoils back in surprise.
"Only us and Sheldon knew about that. Okay, mister. If you're really Sheldon, prove it. Your flaky superhero friend."
"Who is the Silver Shell?" Sheldon answers with a serious look on his face.
"Embarrassing thing in your closet."
"What are Jenny and Amy shrines?"
"Wait," Amy holds up a hand in alarm. "You still have your old shrine of me?!"
"Uh..." He darts his eyes around as the answer is yes, but he would rather not confirm or deny anything. "Next one!"
"Made you run and scream like a little girl."
"What are action Jenny and Amy dolls?" He holds up one of each. "Still got them, actually. You'd never betray me like the real Jenny and Amy, would you?" He then kisses them and they look disgusted.
"Ugh, Sheldon," Jenny flinches as only Sheldon would do that. "Sheldon!" She hugs him happily. "It's really you. Whoa, old man smell."
"Put him down, you might actually break his back with your strength," Amy advises her, shocked as well that it's really him.
"I'm so sorry! We didn't know! We'll fix this somehow. We'll take you back into space and-"
"NO!" He denies immediately and hides.
"What's wrong? What happened to you out there?" Jenny wonders as he's hiding in one of the jars.
"If we take you back, we'll be able to properly age you by going back 75 years," Amy jerks a thumb to the ceiling.
"After 35 years, I'd finally earned enough money for a transport back home," He placed down a wad of money, surrounded by other expenses as well as a spleen. He got the bus ticket as he looked like in his mid-40s now. Then disaster struck."
While on the bus, a crash was heard, and he looked outside to see a pirate ship. "Space pirates."
The aliens from the ship yelled out as they swung onto the bus. They snatched valuables, money, and body parts. "Now make those scallywags walk the plank."
A bus passenger did so, to the joy of the pirate crew...but then everyone just started floating. The captain turned around to a shaking barrel, slicing it open to reveal Sheldon hiding in pickles He had a wide smile on his face as the pickles fell off him. "Well, what have we here?"
"Someone in quite a pickle?"
The captain laughed at his joke. "This one has spunk, he does," He pinched Sheldon's cheek. "Don't we be needing a new cabin boy?"
This was because one of the crew had EATEN the cabin boy. The snake alien coughed up the hat. "Aye, that we do." So then they made Sheldon the cabin boy, shackling him as well.
"Set sail!"
"We sailed the stars in search of glory but never for very long under the same captain." Once the current captain claimed land, it actually came to life and ate him. The next one was a snake, and when the crew found a treasure chest, they tossed it out of the hole...
And it landed right on top of the captain, crushing him to death. One of the crew members became the new captain as the hat landed on his head.
The crew swung towards a pirate ship, and the captain crashed into a cannon. He was then sent flying by a cannonball, the hat flying off. "Eventually, i became captain." It landed right on Sheldon's head. "Me, a pirate king." He grinned evilly from this newfound authority. "The rush of power was exhilarating. And i got caught up in the madness."
He laughed evilly and pointed a mop. "To the planet of comic books!"
"Huzzah!" They all cheered while waving their swords in the air. Their flag was in the shape of Jenny and Amy as Ms. Mecha. The ship took off flying as they landed on top of a planet with a comic book store on top of it. They crashed into the shop, the cashier watching in horror as they stormed the aisles.
"I hope they have the new issue of Super Bunny," One of the members gushed.
They started breaking everything to steal mint-condition comic books, action figures, and more. "That's right, rake it in, boys. "Rake it in," Sheldon smiled proudly at them. "Now, back to the ship for cards and dice."
They rolled some dice as they played an RPG game, one of them knocking over a figure. They all cheered at this. "My reign as a captain was a happy time." He looked up at the stars as he missed Earth, he had been gone for so long... "But I still longed for the familiar stars of home. And so one night, when my crew was fast asleep, I abandoned them." He placed the pirate hat on top of another crew member. "Because I knew something was missing," He held up the action figures of both Jenny and Amy. He then crushed them to bits. "Revenge."
"Wait a minute," Jenny states while lying in bed, both her and Amy facing in front of him. He swings his cane in front of them, attempting to knock them out! "In that flashback, you're 50, 55 tops. What gives?"
"You could tell just from a flashback?" Amy questions her in shock and Sheldon puts the cane down.
"Okay, so it took a little while to find my way back. This galaxy isn't exactly conveniently located, you know," He looks away, crossing his arms. Jenny then sits up.
"Well, look, I know this great little wormhole that's not too far from Earth. It can warp distances and light. So it can probably reverse aging too," The robot suggests with a smile.
"Now that I'm thinking about it, that might actually do more harm than good," Amy muses while rubbing her chin.
"Weren't you two listening?! I can't go back into space. Pirate law clearly states that if a captain abandons his ship, the crew can shiver his timbers," He looks away in fear of the thought of it.
"You abandoned them 20 years ago! They can't still be that hung up over it," Amy rolls her eyes to the back of her head.
"Come on, Sheldon, you said it yourself. The universe is a big place," Jenny tries to ease him as they leave. "Those pirates will never find you."
They use Nora's rocket at Jenny's house to get into space. It's booting up as Sheldon is sitting inside of it. "Wait! I'm not sure this is such a good-" The door closes in front of him and Jenny lifts up the rocket. Amy presses her brooch to turn into Ms. Mecha with a space helmet over her head. The two then fly into space, going around various planets before finding the wormhole. Jenny pushes through as her mother comes up on her monitor.
"XJ9, Amelia, what are you girls doing?" She asks them and then realizes where they are. "Are you fooling around in that wormhole again?"
"Uh..." Their bodies become distorted as they become all wavy. "No."
Amy yelps as she looks at herself. "How many times I have told you not to play with the space-time continuum?"
"What?!" The brunette screeches to Jenny as she didn't know Nora said not to go in. But then again, it is Jenny...
"We're not playing, Mom. We're trying to help Sheldon," Jenny argues back to her. Meanwhile, Sheldon's body is becoming distorted himself.
"He was sent into space for 75 years and we need to get him back to his proper age!" Amy adds in quickly.
"What?! Girls, stop!" Nora waves her hands in a panic once she's been told of the situation. "If anything, that wormhole will make Sheldon age faster."
The two gasp and use parachutes to come to a screeching halt. Jenny uses a rocket to fly out of the wormhole and back to Earth. A familiar pirate ship looks down at the planet, watching them return...
"Isn't there anything we can do, Mom?" Jenny wonders while they wheel him in a machine.
"I'm sorry, girls. Sheldon is stuck, doomed, his life cut short! Nothing can save him...except this: a machine to reverse the aging process," She rolls the machine over to them. Amy pinches her nose at the dramatics.
"Well, isn't that convenient?" Jenny asks in annoyance because her mother is just now telling them about it. Even though neither of them were aware that such a thing even existed in the lab.
"Isn't it, though? I've used it on occasion to keep myself young and vibrant, but I've never lopped off more than a year or two—or five," She steps inside and uses it on herself, a green glow occurring as all the lights go off. Then they come back on. "Ah, I feel like a spry 55-year-old again. Oh, and Piri's been here to repeat her birthday several times."
"So that's why she hasn't aged in a year!" Amy blinks in disbelief.
"Hubba-hubba. I never noticed that spark in your bifocals before, Nora," Sheldon comments from his spot.
"Eww, Sheldon, that's my mom," Jenny comments uncomfortably from this. Plus it's hard to imagine in her eyes.
"I don't know what's worse, his obsession with us as a teen or his comment that he finds your mom easy on the eyes as an old man," Amy recoils in disgust, looking away and silently gagging. But then again, there was that time when Jenny thought Nora's ex was evil and Sheldon commented on her strengths as a person.
"It takes an enormous amount of energy to make even a small change," Nora thankfully ignores Sheldon's comment. "So it will take an incalculable amount to fix Sheldon."
Jenny and Amy glance at each other before looking down at the old man. "We're willing to try if Sheldon is."
"After all, we're the ones responsible for this, so it only makes sense that we make this right," Amy pumps a fist in determination.
"I say let's do it!" Sheldon agrees eagerly with them. "And if it doesn't work, I got me a pretty nurse to take care of me in my golden years," He looks at Nora as Jenny and Amy carry him away. Nora looks not only a bit horrified of that possibility, but also a little uncomfortable.
"This suit and metal magnetic clips converts kinetic energy into electric power," Nora explains to the girls. Jenny is wearing a blue skin with white lines over her robot body. Meanwhile Amy has on purple armor over her suit with lines as well. "Every move you girls make will help make Sheldon a little younger.
Jenny smiles as she waves her arm, Amy tiptoeing and spreading out her arms. Sheldon is inside the glass tube that's connected to their clothes. "Hey, gorgeous!" Sheldon cat-calls to Nora from inside. "Maybe we should forget this whole plan and concentrate on you and me." He then makes a kissy noise, the trio just staring.
"Well, what are you waiting for?! Get a move on!" Nora urges the girls, stomping off.
"Let's just get this over with before he starts flirting with your mom again," Amy places a weary hand on her forehead. At this rate, she'd rather have Sheldon flirting with them if it means she doesn't have to watch him trying to get with Nora. Jenny starts doing jumping jacks, Amy bending down to do some push-ups. Jenny then speeds up, Amy doing the same and a green glow goes over Sheldon.
"Faster, girls, faster!" Jenny starts doing jump rope, Amy running around her fast. The old skin breaks away to reveal a little younger Sheldon. "It's working," Nora gushes at her invention being successful. "Pay close attention, girls. You must stop at precisely the right moment," She says as Sheldon's 35-year-old self arrives. Then he ages down to be in his 20s. Suddenly a ship crashes into the wall right behind them.
"What?!" Amy turns around in alarm.
"They have the captain!" The current captain points at the machine.
"The space pirates!" Jenny exclaims in realization. The pirates begin charging with their weapons out as they run down the walkway leading to the ship. Jenny summons two swords and Amy summons two sickles. Together, they start disarming pirates, being surrounded by more of the crew. Amy frontflips to knock one off their feet. More run towards the duo, several of them firing lasers by either with weapons or of their own accord from their bodies. The two block all of them, but then the group barges in as a unit, cornering them. They summon more weapons with smirks (the ones from Amy's coming from her suit).
"Girls, wait!" Nora tries to warn them as she looks inside the de-aging machine. Both of them roll their arms to defend themselves, not listening to her. "Stop, girls, stop!" However, they still don't listen to her. "GIRLS!"
They disarm the pirates, flinching in alarm to see that they've just lit up a cannon. Jenny uses a rope on the pipe above them and grabs Amy's waist, swinging in the air. The pirate fires the cannon, destroying the wall. Amy glances at the machine and gasps in realization, Jenny landing on the ship.
"Jen-"
"Yo ho ho, me hearties!" She pulls on the rope and the pirates scream in terror before they're all defeated. Jenny laughs in victory while holding the sword. Amy pinches her nose as she cuts the flag to covering them. "How's Sheldon?" She and Amy land behind Nora.
"I don't know. Your fight moves created a lot of energy," She informs them. "Imagine what happens when that's all doubled!"
"...Did we kill him?!" Amy asks in disbelief as she covers her mouth.
"No, no!" Nora waves an assuring hand. "It doesn't cause death."
However, when the machine opens...Sheldon is a toddler now, much to their dismay. "Oh, no, Sheldon!" Jenny rushes forward, Nora waving her hands.
"XJ9, stop!" And now he's a baby because Jenny running.
"Sheldon, are you-"
"Jenny, freeze!" Nora and Amy shout at her as she had moved her hand as he's practically a newborn now.
"Before you turn him into a zygote," Nora adds in as Jenny looks on in concern.
"What are we going to do now?"
"Aww, what a cute baby," The pirates gush, the girls staring at them weirdly. Jenny glances between Sheldon and the pirates, getting an idea. Then Sheldon starts crying and Amy winces.
"Mom, I can't move, do something!"
"I don't have experience with human babies, XJ9! Only robotic ones," Nora tells her and Amy sighs.
"Ms. Wakeman, can you remove my parts?" She asks and the woman goes over, pulling them off the brunette. As soon as she's sure that she won't make Sheldon unborn, the girl goes over to the crying baby and picks him up. Amy then starts humming to him and he calms down, slowly falling asleep. He snuggles into her and she blushes in embarrassment. "Okay, this is just kinda weird..."
"Thanks a lot, Amy," Jenny smiles in relief, thankful that she has Amy's experience to help her out.
"I'm making one thing clear though: I am NOT changing his diaper," Amy whispers in warning to everyone. Hopefully Sheldon will either not remember this or ask what happened, because she wouldn't even know where to begin.
The next day, the group all walk to school together, aside from Sheldon as he's not back from space yet. "So is everything okay with Sheldon?" Brad questions the girls, who smile at each other.
"Sheldon should be just fine," Jenny answers him, Amy leaning in.
"And uh, x-nay on the whole baby thing around Sheldon, okay?" She whispers loud enough for Jenny to hear.
"Don't worry, secret's safe with me," Jenny grins happily at her.
"What are they talking about?" Brad asks his brother and Amy's sisters, only earning shrugs in return.
"JENNY! AMELIA JACQUELINE SMITH!" Sheldon shouts angrily nearby, everyone staring at him.
"Jacqueline?" Tuck looks up at Amy.
"Our mom and grandma were born in Paris," Emily whispers to him and he blinks upon learning this.
"Huh," He murmurs in surprise to himself.
"How dare you let those pirates take me?" Sheldon demands the girls. "Who leaves a baby with space pirates and for 15 years?!"
"It was the only way to get you back to the correct age," Jenny explains to him, Amy waving her hands.
"Trust us, if we could, we would've gone with you, but then we would've been twice as older when we got back. At least they agreed to take care of you in exchange for barging into her house," She jerks a thumb at the robot.
"Yeah. Now everything is back to normal," Jenny smiles, but Sheldon isn't finished.
"Normal? I've just spent 90 years of my life in outer space, and you call that normal?! I will never forgive you!"
"You know what? When you think about it, it makes us even for letting Vexus know I'm Ms. Mecha and her mom for that matter," Amy defends while crossing her arms. Sheldon's eyes widen as he tries to process this.
"But you—and I—and that...you know what, fine, we're even. But you Jenny, I-"
"Oh, Sheldon, you haven't lost your sense of humor," Jenny hugs him happily and he gives a dopey smile from this. Jenny then sniffs him. "At least you've lost that old man smell. Look, everybody, Sheldon's back!"
"Yay!" Everyone cheers and Jenny flinches, moving away from him. This is because for somehow, everyone throws dodgeballs at him, his friends wincing.
"No doubt about it," Brad smiles as Sheldon is covered in them. "This time, he definitely had it coming." Amy glares at him and he notices her look, confused on why he's receiving it. "What?"
