Will we see more living things?
- [mews] - Whoa.
Who is this guy?
There's all kinds of life on Mars.
Let's approach him carefully.
♪ ♪ Hello.
And by "hello," I mean, "Greetings."
My name is Jet.
[slowly] Juh--ett.
Jet.
I am a visiting alien from another planet.
And this is my alien pet... [slowly] Sunspot.
- [mews] ♪ ♪ - Fist bump?
[needle thwacks] Ouch!
Huh.
Not a very friendly Mars person.
[clears throat] So, Mister Mars, do you like living here?
Do you speak this language?
- So, how's the Mars reporting going?
- Well, I do have news.
We saw some kind of tiny, wrinkled creature running by.
And we're trying to talk to this tall, green Mars giant with many arms.
- Ooh.
Interesting.
[winks chime] Any signs of water on the planet?
- Nope.
No sign of water.
Except for this water bottle.
Wow.
- Water, huh?
- And it seems that Martians sometimes forget to pick up their trash, just like on Earth.
- This makes no sense, especially on Mars.
It's dry and red, and there's no plants growing anywhere.
Well, except for those yellow flowers in the definitely un-red and very brown dirt.
Wait a minute.
[helmet pops] [deep breath] Breathable air, not freezing, a water bottle, tall, unfriendly plant.
This isn't Mars, it's Earth!
- Oh, ho-ho!
We're proud of you, Jet.
You kept asking questions and came to the right conclusion.
- Yeah, this Earth place where we landed tricked us.
It looks like Mars before you start exploring.
- Right!
Earth almost tricked us.
But we're Bortronians.
It's hard to get anything past us.
We notice everything!
[motor vehicle whooshes by] - You got that right, Jet.
Okay, let's try to go to the real Mars.
