- [sighs] No.
Nuh-uh, hmm.
- What are you looking for, Jet?
- Well, tomorrow is a Bortronian holiday, in which you give a present to the adult male that is in your "parental unit."
- You mean, your dad?
- Right!
- On Earth, we call that Father'’s Day.
- "Father'’s Day."
Ha, what a great name!
Anyway, I'’m looking through my junk pile to see what I can make for a "Father'’s Day" present for Dad.
- Cool.
I'’ll be right here, trying to get the high score on "Astro Tracker."
- "Asteroid."
Huh, I love that word.
Face, what exactly makes an asteroid an asteroid?
- Glad you asked, Jet.
Excuse me while I pause your game, Sydney.
An asteroid is a rock from space that'’s smaller than a moon or a planet.
- Oh, now I remember.
There'’s even a song about it.
- ♪ Yes, an asteroid, that'’s what it'’s called ♪ ♪ And it'’s not good to stand where an asteroid falls ♪ together: ♪ Asteroid, thank you, Face ♪ ♪ You gave us the answer about the rocks from space ♪ ♪ We'’re over the moon, we'’re overjoyed ♪ ♪ '’Cause now we know all about the asteroids!
♪ - All this talk about asteroids makes me want to try this game.
Looks easy.
- Not as easy as it looks.
Here you go.
[arcade game blips ominously] Oh.
Okay, so it'’s not easy.
Would you show me how it'’s done, Sydney?
What'’s the secret?
- Well, part of it is dodging asteroids, and part of it is being able to blast your way through them, but it really helps when you can identify the large ones.
First you discover them, then name them, just like the scientists do.
See?
And that'’s how you get a good score.
- I have to admit, Sydney'’s the best Astro Tracker of all of us.
- Ugh!
There it goes again!
Someone is beating my score.
- Really?
Who?
- Uh, there'’s another player online called "Dot-Sun."
Whoever it is, Dot-Sun is truly the best Astro Tracker of all.
- I wonder who that could be.
Anyway, I still have to come up with an idea for a "Father'’s Day" present.
Hey, Sunspot, I need some ideas.
Are you busy right now?
