with my Earth friends-- this is so fun!
- Jet, this is serious.
We can't let anyone in Boxwood Terrace
see a giant, runaway Bortronian plant!
- Why not?
- Because you'd have way too much explaining to do,
and then your secret alien identity will be out!
- Ah, right, I keep forgetting that.

Oh, hey, that's Dad.
Hey, Daddy-o! What's shaking?
- Jet, you haven't seen a giant Bortronian houseplant
running through the neighborhood, have you?
- No, I haven't. Have you?
Ooh! I mean, where is it?
- We just saw it run past the supermarket
as we were coming out!
- Oh, I almost dropped my Swiss chard!
- Okay, I can explain.
I tried to use Bortronian seeds to plant a "garden."
- Ooh-ooh, you mean an organized space in the dirt
where you plant things in rows and they grow?
- Exactly. - Garden.
[laughs]
What a hilarious Earth word!
[all laughing]
- Um, you guys,
we have to catch that plant
before everybody in Boxwood Terrace sees it!
- Sydney's right, Jet.
As visiting Bortronian travel writers,
we are guests on the planet
and are not supposed to interfere
with the Earth environment.
- And letting a Bortronian plant run loose
is definitely interfering!
- Okay, Mom and Dad,
I promise that Sydney and Sean and I will catch it
and bring it home.
