BIG_RED CANNONBALL CRAIG JP KELSEY KIT LITTLE_BLUE MARK ROGER WREN CRAIG the solar system… home to many wonders and mysteries. but none are as breathtaking as what is about to happen today. for in a mere twenty minutes, the great cosmic ballet will bring two cellestial bodies into alignment. the moon will cross in front of the sun, blocking out its light to create what astronomers call a solar eclipse, but what we kids in the creek call… JP opposite day!!!! KELSEY opposite day!!!! CRAIG opposite day!!!! JP when day becomes night, everything is oppo- site! CRAIG i’m so excited, i stayed up making these eclipse viewers for each of us! with these babies, we can watch the eclipse without burning a hole in our eyeballs. KELSEY yeah, for opposite day, i tried mixing it up with mortimor so i would sit on his head for once… KELSEY alright, opposite day bud! let’s do this! KELSEY but i kinda got the vibe mortimor doesn’t observe opposite day. CRAIG well, i’m with mortimor. i think opposite day is dumb and so are solar eclipses. CRAIG opposite day! CRAIG gotcha! JP KELSEY opposite! of what you really think! KIT oppsoite day sale! get your opposite day snacks! un-popped popcorn, vanilla choco- rolls and empty juice boxes! ROGER ooh! ooh! kit! what can i get for these fingernails? BIG RED hello! um, i want some snacks! uh, hello! ROGER oh hey, big red. didn’t see you back there. BIG RED JP wow, everybody’s so excited. CRAIG well, this is the first opposite day in years! there hasn’t been an eclipse since i started playing in the creek. come to think of it, i don’t know who’d have been here for the last one. MARK i was here! not right here, i was standing up somewhere over there but… i’ll never forget it. when the moon passes in front of the sun, opposite day begins. it does something to a kid. get as far away from the creek as you can before the eclipse happens! heed my warning! heed it! CRAIG he must mean, like, the opposite of that, right? KELSEY oh! oh! it’s happening! CRAIG huh… i feel a little different. KELSEY wow, craig, this diy viewer you made is such a… …piece of junk! i can’t see anything through this thing. JP kelsey, what are you talking about? this is like… the worst thing craig’s ever invented. CRAIG how could you say that?! you guys are my best… ffffoes! wha-what?! i mean, fiendssss… i mean, you’re my worst friends. oh my gosh! opposite day is making us act in opposite ways!!! KIT ahhh! free stuff! the relative value of goods means nothing to me! CANNONBALL help! my bike is doing tricks- on meeeeeee! show me how to do that! CRAIG oh yes… opposite day is… so much fun!!! CRAIG big red?!? LITTLE BLUE i’m not big red! i’m little blue! KELSEY get us! get us! LITTLE BLUE little blue doesn’t want a snack! ROGER she lost me! yeeeesssss!!!!! LITTLE BLUE you look disgusting! i’m not hungry! KELSEY that kid’s not in danger. i have to not help him! hi-ya! KELSEY KELSEY ehhh… what? LITTLE BLUE hmm? KELSEY where’s… my bloodlust? yah! i’ve become lover, not a fighter?! LITTLE BLUE aaaah! CRAIG CRAIG what was… elder mark? MARK you wanna watch the gaaaaammmmeeeee? CRAIG CRAIG guys! this sign! is it… opposite… or… KELSEY exactly what i expected! WREN don’t get in here! slowly! JP ohh… whew! KELSEY ohh… whew! CRAIG ohh… whew! CRAIG what just happened? WREN that was the effect of the safe-house i built. welcome, to my unopposite chamber! i’ve created this bunker to exist in a completely different timezone, where it is not opposite day. this pocket of time exists completely outside of our reality, so everything said in this bunker is literal! trust me, you’re safe here! CRAIG oh thank goodness! guys, i didn’t mean any of those things i said outside! i mean, of course you’re my best friends! KELSEY aw, your mine too, craig! and i love your inventions! if your inventions were your kids, i would be babysitting your inventions! they could call me aunt kelsey! JP that was so awful! i couldn’t stop myself! WREN precisely! opposite day’s influence on you will only grow worse the longer the sun and the moon remain in alignment! i isolated myself down here to devise a way to stop it! CRAIG but where’s the rest of the alliance of science? WREN they quit and started a new club. the deny- ance of science …alliance. CRAIG i mean… can’t we just say that it’s not opposite day and turn everything back to normal? WREN no, no no no no no! that’ll only create a paradox! let me break it down for you. it would be like putting two mirrors in front of each other. if it’s not opposite day on opposite day, then that means that it is opposite day! if it is opposite day on opposite day, then that means it’s not not opposite day on opposite day, which is opposite day! WREN the logic will keep going in circles until eventually kids’ heads will explode! WREN the only way we can make opposite day end is to move the sun and moon out of alignment and end the eclipse. CRAIG hmm… then i think i have an idea. CRAIG so if we wanna move the sun, then we need something to grab it. we can do exactly that with this giant hookshot i’ve designed. with just enough force from a boomerang, we can lasso the sun away from the moon and end this nightmare instantly! WREN impossible! you’re talking 93 million miles of distance! there’s no way an object of that mass will make it, let alone be able to withstand the burning hot temperature of the sun!!! CRAIG that’s some airtight logic, wren. but you’re forgetting one thing… it’s opposite day. KELSEY KELSEY oh! i-i-i can already feel myself turning opposite again. we have everything we need to build that hookshot, r-right? CRAIG i think so… there’s just one problem… i dunno how to build anything. KELSEY w-w-what!? b-but you have to do it, you’re the only one who understands your calculations! CRAIG nah, man, i don’t have to do anything. besides, numbers aren’t even real, dude. heh. ooh, a butterfly! KELSEY oh no! opposite craig is useless! isn’t there anything you can do, wren? WREN ha! don’t ask me. i don’t know science. i only know… violence!!! KELSEY my sword! oh well… not like i know how to use it anyway… JP hey! you! KELSEY yeaaah? JP stop standing there and make yourself useful, rookie! this contraption ain’t gonna build itself! KELSEY okay, okayyyy! um- so- this goes heere- and- um- this part goes… heeere. JP what is taking you so long, private?! pick- up- the pace! fall- in- line! think! inside! the box!!! KELSEY o-okay! please don’t yell at meee! JP this is how i enunciate! KELSEY oh! i think it’s d-done, sir. JP well do you expect me to do everything around here? fire that thing at the sun, rookie! KELSEY eeeek! KELSEY oh dear... WREN an opponent worthy of my skills! WREN huh!? LITTLE BLUE ahhh. WREN oh no! this sword didn’t hurt her at all! it made her feel better! LITTLE BLUE hm? CRAIG huuuh? LITTLE BLUE ooooo! i bet you taste terrible! let’s not find out! CRAIG uh oh. CRAIG opposite craig! this is your normal craig brain. you gotta do something or you’re gonna be dinner! CRAIG uhhhh… eat me for dinner. no, wait, no… uh, eat me right now. oh shoot. LITTLE BLUE CRAIG nooo! think, craig! what did wren say back in the bunker! WREN if you say it’s not opposite day on opposite day, kids’ heads will explode. CRAIG i don’t remember it like that, but it’s worth a shot! hm! CRAIG yo little bluuueee! LITTLE BLUE hmmm? CRAIG it’s not opposite day. LITTLE BLUE whuh…? but… that means it’s not not opposite day. which means it’s not not not opposite day. which means it’s not, not, not not opposite day. which means it’s not, not, not, noooooot- WREN don’t shoot it now! KELSEY booooooerrrryyyeeeahhhhh! KIT oh, back to trading like normal again! and don’t think i didn’t keep a tab on all the free stuff y’all took! i will be collecting that with interest on halloween. ROGER i’m freeeee! BIG RED CRAIG looks like we made it through opposite day. thanks, wren! we couldn’t have done it without you! WREN well, if you ask me, you guys are the true heroes! and i mean it! no opposites! JP no opposites! KELSEY no opposites! CRAIG no opposites! JP phew! glad that solar eclipse is over. now we have a clear view of tonight’s full moon! and thankfully nothing weird ever happens on a full moon! MARK oh no! not again!
