I want to deeply apologize for not updating any of my stories here for over 2 to 3 years. I've been busy with other projects as of late, but thankfully, I intend to finally get back on track on this website. Here is the full version of the episode.

[ET] "Why can't you help me now?"

It was late evening, and Elliott was in his room doing his math and english homework.

[Elliott] "I'm sorry ET, I have to do my homework. I need to get my grades back on track."

The day before, Elliott promised ET that he'd help him find a working radio to attach to his spaceship. However, they had to count the money they currently had before they could start looking. They started doing so but couldn't finish because Elliott had to go to bed. They were going to continue once Elliott got back from school the next day, but then he had to do his chores. And now, it looked like he wouldn't be able to help out tonight, either. The reason ET wanted to set up a radio in his spaceship was because he had started to grow an interest in music. Not only because it could work as a weapon against We'Z'Knaw, but also, he honestly was fascinated by it.

[ET] "Why do you even need to do homework, anyway? Isn't school meant for working, and working there only?"

[Elliott] "Well, it doesn't work that way around here."

[ET] "Man, sometimes I wish I could go to this school of yours, just to see what it's like there."

[Elliott] "Yeah, but it's not like Mom can sign you up for it, I mean, it's not like you pose as her adopted son in public."

[ET] "Mmm hmm."

Just then, a light-bulb lit up above ET's head.

[ET] "Wait, I do. And that's exactly what we should do!"

[Elliott] "I just thought the exact same thing."

So the very next day, they told Mary about their plan, and as risky as it was, she was on board. Then came the day where Mary and ET had a meeting with Principle Harrison.

[Principle Harrison] "So Ms. Taylor, why do you think I should assign this boy into this school?"

[Mary] "Well, I figured that it's about time I help ET get a better education."

[Principle Harrison] "Okay, well, With the papers you've shown me, I think I can do just that. However, if you don't mind me asking, What does ET stand for."

ET suddenly got nervous, as he didn't think anyone would ask him this. He obviously couldn't say it stood for extra-terrestrial, because it would be a dead giveaway of him being, well, just that. But just then, Mary stepped in and said- "Ethan Trevor"

[Mary] "It stands for Ethan Trevor."

[Principle Harrison] "Well okay then, ET, welcome to Plainview Avenue."

He put his hand up, and they shook hands.

Monday

[Mr. Quinton (Elliott's main Teacher)] "Alright kids, I'd like to introduce you to a new student in our class, Ethan Trevor, or ET."

ET shyly waved at the class. None of the students said anything. At least not out loud, some whispered to one another. Mr. Quinton noticed this, and signaled the class to quite down.

[Mr. Quinton] "Class, I want all of you to know that there will be zero tolerance for any poor actions towards him. He will be treated fairly, understand?"

[the entire class] "Yes, Mr. Quinton."

ET was then sent to his desk, which was across from Elliott's, in front of it on the right. He looked at Elliott, and he gave him a supporting smile. At lunchtime, Elliott showed ET around the cafeteria, where kids go to get their food, and the table that he usually sat at. After they got their lunch, they sat down and Elliott introduced ET and Vincent to each other.

[Vincent] "So your mom adopted him a couple weeks ago?"

[Elliott] "Yeah, it's hard to explain, but when him and I met, we felt a deep connection. When mom learned about what he's been through, she knew she had to do something for him."

[Vincent] "Well all I can say to you, ET, is that you're lucky Murray has been on vacation for the last couple weeks."

[Elliott] "Yeah, if he saw you, there's no telling what that airhead would-"

*FLASH

ET screamed as the bright light went into his eyes and a loud click went off. Elliott held on to him to calm him down.

[Elliott] "It's okay ET, you just got your picture taken."

ET breathed a sigh of relive. While his picture was taken before, it still startled him when it happened. The person who took the picture was another one of Elliott's friends, Grace.

[Grace] "That'll be going onto the school paper."

[Vincent] "Since when were you working for the school paper?"

[Grace] "I've been in it since the beginning of second semester. You really didn't know that?"

[Vincent] "Apparently not."

[Elliott] "So how did the picture come out?"

[Grace] "Considering you guys didn't look into the camera, I should take another one just to be safe."

[Elliott] "I think I can manage that. Can you, ET?"

He nodded in response, and he and Elliott got into a pose with each other's arms next to one another.

[Grace] "Alright, say cheese."

*FLASH

Tuesday

It was P.E. now, and the class were jogging on the track. ET was trying to keep up with Elliott, but it was hard with his short legs. He was breathing heavily, and sweat was dripping from his brow. Elliott turned his head and saw that his alien best friend was having trouble. He sighed and jogged to him.

[Elliott] "You sure you don't need any help?"

[ET] "N-n-no, I'm f-fine. I can d-do-"

[Elliott] "Come on."

Elliott then grabbed ET's hand.

[Elliott] "Didn't you say that you were a good runner?"

[ET] "Yeah, when I feel like I'm in danger. My people never really run unless we're in those kind of situations."

[Elliott] "Why is that?"

[ET] "Do you see how short my legs are? Running is one of the things we aren't good at."

[Elliott] "Well we do this in P.E. once a week. I'm sure you'll get used to it."

After the class concluded, ET was practically swimming at the drinking fountain.

[Vincent] "Wow, he's really dehydrated."

[Elliott] "Well, he is new to this kind of stuff. He told me that he didn't really have to do P.E. back in Br- Brrr-"

[Vincent] "Brazil?"

[Elliott] "Yeah, Brazil."

Wednesday

During Recess, Elliott, ET, and Grace were on the blacktop, talking about the next game the school's football team's preparing for. As they got up, ET saw a sign on a window that said "Music try outs, now open". Remembering his growing interest in music, he decided to go for it. In the music room, he saw so many objects. He found the music teacher, Ms. Note, and asked her what the objects are.

[Ms. Note] "They're called instruments. They're what make music. Pick one that you think fits you the most."

So he did just that. One had a round shape, that if you were to pat on the top of it, it would make sounds. ET tried it, but it didn't fit with him. The next one he came across had a hole on one end, and from the smaller end of it, was meant to be blown into, while buttons near it were to be pressed. ET tried that one, too, but it didn't go with him, either. The one after that was one he knew about, one that was at Elliott's house, in fact, a piano, so he skipped that one. The last one was the one that intrigued him the most. It had a large stick where 6 strings were attached to it, which lead to a big peanut shape with a circle hole in the middle. He decided to go and pick it up. When he moved the strings a bit, it made noise.

[Ms. Note] "Ooh, the guitar, great choice."

[ET (in his head)] "Oh, so that's what it's called?"

ET picked up the guitar, and tried to play it, but of coarse, since he was new to this, he wasn't that good.

[ET] "Not... working."

[Ms. Note] "Don't worry, it takes practice to learn how to play an instrument. I'll tell you what, you can come back here once every week, and I can help you practice. How does that sound?"

[ET] "Deal."

As ET walks out of the room, Elliott walks to him.

[Elliott] "There you are, ET. I've been looking for you for the last fifteen minutes. What have you been up to?"

[ET] "To make a long story short, I'm gonna be taking guitar lessons, now."

He says as he looks back to the door.

Thursday

Once again at lunchtime, ET and Elliott were eating lunch while discussing about homework.

[Elliott] "You know, most of these answers I can figure out, but this one, I'm having trouble with it."

[ET] "Let me see it."

ET swiped the paper before Elliott could even give it to him. The question he was looking at was "What are stars made of?"

[ET] "Now, there's been debate what this answer is for years. My people actually figured it out about 900 years ago. Stars are actually made of plasma, a combination of helium and hydrogen."

[Elliott] "Woah."

[ET] "Although despite this discovery, most people believe that they're just giant balls of hot gas."

[Elliott] "So I shouldn't expect a perfect grade with this answer."

[ET] "That's what it's looks like."

Just then, the sounds of the doors leading to the cafeteria bursting open was heard by everyone in the room. Everyone looked towards the directions of where the sound came from, and low and behold, there was Murray. Elliott then hid under the table, pulling ET down with him. Lucky for both of them, Murray didn't notice them.

[Murray] "That's right everybody, I'm back from The Bahamas. And as you can see, I managed to get a tan."

He walks inside, staring down everyone in his sight.

[Murray] "Now, in case you didn't figure it out already, I need to catch up with everything that's been happening since I left. And that includes lunch money."

As the students were reluctantly giving Murray whatever bit of money they had, ET just looked at what was happening.

[ET] "He hasn't bugged you since that school fight, right?"

[Elliott] "For the most part, but before he left for vacation, he started to get on my nerves."

[ET] "You'd think after that, he'd leave you alone."

[Elliott] "He must've began thinking it was all in his head and he just let me won."

Murray eventually had enough money to be satisfied with, and went to get his lunch. Once he sat down with his food (thankfully not at the same table with ET and Elliott) everyone else went back to normal. After a minute or so, the alien/human duo sat back up. Luckily, Murray still didn't notice them.

Friday

This was it, the last day of the week. It was the last class of the day before the last bell, and Mr. Quinton was assigning the class their homework for the weekend.

[Mr. Quinton] "And so, the english packet is due on Monday, while the history and math are due on Tuesday. Do you kids got that?"

They all nodded in response.

[Mr. Quinton] "Well alright then. Before you kids leave, I should tell you all that a school fundraiser is starting in a couple weeks, so any money will be very helpful for the cause of-"

*RING RING RING RING RING

[Mr. Quinton] "Oh, never mind. You kids have a good weekend, I'll see you on Monday."

The class got their stuff together, and left out the door. ET had to admit, his first week of human school wasn't half-bad. Sure, the things they taught you weren't even a tenth of the things he knew, but that made sense. The things he learned at the Galactic Educational Enrichment Facility were pieces of knowledge, no simple human being could begin to comprehend. As ET walked towards the front door of the school, Elliott caught up with him, along with Vincent and Grace, not too long after.

[Vincent] "So guys, since the four of us have become a bit of a crew now, does that mean we're going to be hanging out, now?"

[Elliott] "I don't really see any reason why not, so I guess so."

[ET] "I'm... down."

[Grace] "I'm available whenever I'm not stuck watching my little brothers. I love them, but they can be little gremlins, a good portion of the time."

[Elliott] "I can relate to tha-"

*SLAM

Almost everybody's hearts skipped a beat at the sudden loud noise. Though Elliott and the others (not counting ET) didn't bother asking who or what it was, as they already had an idea.

[Murray] "Well, what do you know, if it isn't Taylor, and his posse of dweebs?"

Elliott groaned before turning around.

[Elliott] "What do you want, Murray?"

[Murray] "Don't get pushy with me. I've heard news about there being a new face around in this school, and I've been dying to see if the word about his appearance is true."

[Elliott] "Don't talk about him like that."

[Murray] "Well, if he's so good looking, then how about he turns to face me, too?"

Elliott was going to say something else, but ET gripped his arm.

[ET] "It's okay, Elliott. If he wants to see me, then he can."

Elliott asked him if he was absolutely sure, and he nodded in response. So he reluctantly stepped back as ET turned around. The first thing Murray did was step back, with a look of disbelief. Grace and Vincent both turned to face Murray as well, making sure he knew they were with Elliott and ET. For a minute, no one said anything, they all just stood where they stood. ET & company were just going to turn around and go their separate ways for the day, until Murray started to respond. His face was puckered, and he was making noises as though he was trying to keep something in. As his face turned red and tears went down his face, he finally exploded with hysterical laughter, pointing at the space man in disguise.

He, along with Elliott, Vincent, and Grace, didn't say anything at first, they just glared at him. Murray stopped his laughing to catch his breath, and finally spoke.

[Murray] "Oh my god! I thought naked mole-rats were ugly, but this guy, this guy right here takes the cake! You look like an old man's foot after spending too much time in a hot tub. No-no, wait. You look like if Godzilla took a crap and some crazy scientist brought it to life."

ET crossed his arms, unfazed, still staring angrily at the kid who was insulting him while dying of laughter. Grace personally decided it was time to end this bullcrap.

[Grace] "Alright, you've made your point. Come on guys, let's get out of here."

The four tried to walk away.

[Murray] "Hold up, hold up, I'm not finished, yet."

[Vincent] "Well we are. Later, dude."

[Murray] "Come on, Allsburg. What, is that troll late to go cry about how he has no parents?"

That. That was what made ET stop dead in his tracks.

[Murray] "What's the matter, ugly? Are you upset about the fact that you're not in your old home, anymore?"

If he didn't already plunge a knife in there, he finally had. This was the first time in a while where ET was forced to think about his home, and it made him visibly uneasy. He started blushing, putting his left hand on his right arm. What Murray said next, that was what twisted the knife.

[Murray] "You know, I'm betting that you were banished from where you came from, probably because of your face. You had to be forced to come here, didn't you? You must've thought that you'd be better off, here. Well guess what, you aren't. Because you're a freak, a butt ugly, fat-headed, FREAK!"

Murray had burst out laughing, yet again. ET wanted nothing more, than to just crawl into a hole and hide. This was the final straw for Elliott. His face turned a bright red, you could practically hear the sounds of a factory whistle, just by looking at him, as cliche as that sounds. It was one thing to attack him, but attacking his friends, especially ET, that was going too far. All of his common sense was clouded by pure hatred and rage.

[Elliott] "SHUT THE HELL UUUUUUUUP!"

Needless to say, nobody saw that coming. All eyes watching instantly went wide. Vincent signaled Grace and ET to step back, which they did without any hesitation. Murray tried to hide it, but he was actually intimidated as Elliott slowly approached him.

[Elliott] "Listen here, Murray! You better take back what you said about ET, right now, before I make you with my knuckle-sandwich! I kicked your butt before, so don't think I won't do it, again!"

In that school fight they had a couple weeks prior, the only emotion Elliott made Murray feel was frustration and confusion, but now, all he felt was fear. Complete, and utter fear. But he reminded himself of who was making him nearly crap himself.

[Murray (in his head)] "What am I thinking? Taylor's nothing more than a dweeb. Sure, he did overwhelm me during that fight, but all he did was dodge my punches and threw me into a dumpster. He didn't punch, kick, or anything like that. But then again, he did somehow make me punch mysel- No, no, what I'm I saying, that didn't actually happen! I have to keep telling myself that. Alright, It's time to put this wimp in his place!"

Just like that, the school bully's tough guy facade was restored.

[Murray] "Ha, you, giving me a knuckle-sandwich? Taylor, why are you even bothering defending him? (he points to ET) He doesn't even look human. Maybe I should just knock some sense into you. In fact, I might as well."

He balled his fist and threw it towards Elliott's face, but right before it could make contact, he literally froze. Like as in, he couldn't move, not even a bit. If that wasn't questionable enough, Murray began to literally float upwards. That fear he felt before returned, just as fast as it left. Both of the kids that had recently become Elliott's friends looked up in both shock and awe. Elliott was surprised as well, but that changed when he turned towards ET, who was glaring at Murray. It didn't take long for him to realize that the alien doing his magic.

[Murray] "Wha- Wha- WHAT IS HAPPENING?!"

He looked around, and made eye contact with ET.

[Murray] "You. It's you! It's YOU that's doing this! How are you doing this? Put me down! PUT ME DOWN, NOW!"

ET cocked his head to the side, and just like that, Murray was given a telepathic wedgie, revealing his Batman boxers.

[Murray] "I'M SERIOUS, PUT ME DOWN, PLEASE, PLEEEEASE!"

He was sobbing, now. ET then smirked, which silently said "permission granted". With a force, Murray started to fall to the ground with a speed, screaming all the way. Right before he landed on the ground, he once again froze. He opened his eyes and looked around.

[Murray] "Am I dead?"

Elliott and the others walked towards the floating kid.

[Elliott] "Watch what you say, or else you will be."

ET finally let Murray go. Who then looked up at Elliott.

[Elliott] "Now get out of here!"

Murray did just that, running away while crying. Grace and Vincent, still starstruck at what just happened, looked down at ET.

[Vincent] "You are literally the coolest person, I've ever met."

[Grace] "How did you even do that?"

[Elliott] "Let's just say some mysteries are better left as mysteries.

He winked at ET, who did the same.

[Elliott] "Come on guys, there an ice cream place near by we can go to, my treat."

And so, the four of them left with Elliott taking charge.

Meanwhile

In a dark office, a mysterious man is working on some papers when he hears static from a walkie talkie on his desk.

[walkie talkie] "Hey boss, we have an update!"

The mysterious man picks it up.

[mysterious man] "Any other sightings of the one who invaded last month?"

[walkie talkie] "No, remember how there was word about something strange going on at that school?"

[mysterious man] "Yes, what about it?"

[walkie talkie] "Well apparently, we might have to confirm that. As something even stranger happened there, again. And just like last time, it involved that Elliott kid."

The mysterious man got up and grabbed his keys, heading for the door.

[Keys] "Sit tight, I'm on my way."

He shut his door, leaving the room in darkness.

Next Episode: Who's Your Daddy

Quick notes on next episode: First off, it's going to be the first two parter in the series. Second off, if you've seen the movie as much as I have (which would be about 100 times), you should know what the episode is going to be about. And lastly, it'll be the beginning of one of the many over arcing stories in the series. Most cartoons these days are built on that, so this one might as well be, too.
