I'll call my new planet whatever I want!
|
(The episode opens up showing an abandoned Orbble stand with the sign reading 'The Wright Place'. Zooms in to reveal Wander and Sylvia arriving on this planet. They look around)
(Unsettling music plays.)
Sylvia: I get that space is quiet and all, but... (sighs) this place's giving me the willies. (Starts to tiptoe backwards. A halt sound effect plays.)
(Wander is seen pulling Sylvia back with her reins.)
Wander: No, this place is amazing! (Cuts from a shot of Wander and Sylvia from inside of the orbble station.) Just think of the stories of this old, tiny orbble station can tell.
(Cuts back to Wander and Sylvia.)
Sylvia: I'd rather stay focused on the present to help us get outta here. (Takes out an empty orbble juice container and shakes it, then sighs) We are totally out of orbble juice. I'll go pay, you fill up.
(Sylvia throws the empty orbble juice container to Wander. Wander tries to catch but it ends up twisting up his arms. Shot of the orbble juice container rolling on the floor. Wander then picks it up in front of the orbble dispenser. He mindlessly grab the Time Orbble dispenser and fills it up into the container. Shot of the sign of 'The Wright Place'.)
Wander: (Reads). The Wright Place. Orbble and Wilmer Wright Proprietors. Traverse the universe one step at a time! (Dings) (Wander takes out the dispenser.) Whoa, that took no time at all, huh. (Closes the container cap.) Welp, Orbble, Wilmer, thanks for 'fueling' the adventure, friends.
Sylvia: (Walks into the frame.) (Sounding nervous.) Weird. There's nobody here. I left a few credits on the counter. Come on, pal. Let's ditch this ghost town.
(Wander orbbles himself and Sylvia. Cut to see the two leaving 'The Wright Place".)
Wander: Bye, Wright Place! Wish I knew you when!
Sylvia: Ah, forget that place. We got lots of other things to see. Supernovas, astro-rings, a galactic conjunction... (With a shocked tone) A GALACTIC CONJUCTION?!
(Cut to the pair walking towards to what seems to be a galactical conjunction from the episode 'The Picnic'.)
Sylvia: That shouldn't be happening again for another thousand years!
(Wander and Sylvia look puzzled.)
Wander: Whoa, Syl, look! (Cut to Lord Hater and Peepers with the Watchdog army, facing Emperor Awesome and the Fist Fighters.)
Sylvia: And Emperor Awesome?
(Cuts back to Wander and Sylvia.)
Wander: AND ME!
(We see a shocked Lord Hater suddenly looking back at Wander from "The Picnic".)
Past Wander: (From a distance) Hater! Is that you?
(Cuts back to the present Wander and Sylvia.)
Wander: No, it's me! (Waves hand to his past-self.) Hi, me!
(Sylvia walks forward. As she gets closer to the shrine, the planets slowly come together, but when Sylvia reverses her steps, the planets seems to be moving backwards. Sylvia walks back and forth repeatedly. The music also seems to play backwards. Cut back to Wander and Sylvia. Wander is still continuing to wave his hand to his past-self, while Sylvia looks shocked and confused)
Sylvia: Wander...
Wander: Hold on, things just got interesting! (Wander watches in glee with an annoyed Sylvia. Cut to Past Wander from 'The Picnic' with present Wander and Sylvia in the background.)
Past Wander: (Take off his hat and pull out the picnic basket.) I even packed a piiicniiiiic!
(Back to present Wander and Sylvia.)
Sylvia: Did you get Time Orbbles?
Wander: (In confusion) Did I? There are two pumps, not clearly labeled I might add. It's possible that I may had. (Gasps) THIS IS THE PAST?! 'Cause we're coming up to my favorite part!
(Wander and Sylvia watch Past Wander scoot down the crater in one of the scenes of 'The Picnic'.)
Past Wander: Eh...eh...eh...eh...
(Freeze-frame, title card appears)
(Back to present Wander and Sylvia. Wander starts to walk out of the orbble.)
Wander: I'm gonna help me pass out sandwiches! (Walks out of the orbble and popping it in the process.)
(Past Wander is seen struggling to open the picnic basket with present Wander and Sylvia hitting the ground. The two then roll into the crater with forming a dust cloud, with Wander opening it like a door in cartoonish style, leaving a battered Sylvia. Sylvia then struggles to her feet and pulls Wander back with her tail.)
Sylvia: You can't just go over there and help yourself! With time orbbles, there are paradoxes, time shifts and even that stupid butterfly effect!
Wander: Ooh, (with long eyelashes) butterfly.
Sylvia: Seriously, if we change something in our past, it could affect the future, which is our present, and the future...(Shouts in agony) OH, I HATE TIME TRAVEL! (Sighs) We just have to get back to the right place, (takes out time orbble and orbbles herself and Wander) and the right time. To the exact moment we left and get regular old orbble orbbles.
(The two leave the pyramid. The screen suddenly changes to a flip screen format with Wander and Sylvia walking past. The screens include episodes from Season 1, such as 'The Bad Guy', 'The Hat' and 'The Stray' to name a few.)
Wander: Stop! We're here! (They stop and the orbble pops. The two fall.)
Sylvia: At the Wright place?
Wander: Yeah!
(Cut to the two falling into Dominator's ship. A scene from 'My Fair Hatey' plays and shows Lord Hater singing 'You're the Greatest' in the vaudevillian suit with a flowery background. A watchdog is seen pushing a wagon of flowers.)
Lord Hater: (Singing) Do, you like leisurely strolls in the park? 'Cause I do! (Holding two watchdogs dressed as a puppy and a kitten.) Cat person or dog person? I know it's tough deciding...
(Hater singing off screen. Two watchdogs dressed in mustard and mayo bottles run towards the stage as Wander and Sylvia peek in from a door opening)
Hater: Think of the pair we could be if you'd dare to just open up your evil heart...
(Wander seems unbothered while Sylvia is confused.)
Wander: This is the big ol' number Hater and I did while you are off helping Peepers freeze the ship!
Hater: (Off screen) I can't bear to be apart...
Wander: (Gasps) Look at Hater's two-step. He's come such a long way!
(Cut to Hater singing to Dominator's armor on the throne, tap dancing.)
Hater: How are you? Seems like a pretty good start.
Sylvia: Look, buddy, I know you're having fun reminiscing, but we can't just waste our time watching past episodes! (pauses) Of our lives! It could be dangerous! And boring! We only have enough juice for a few more orbbles. When our time runs out, our time runs out, and we'll be stuck wherever we are, so can you please just work with me on this?
(Wander nods and climbs on Sylvia. She makes an orbble bubble around them, they walk out of Dominator's ship, return to the flip screen format and start walking past it as the screens feature more episodes from both Season 1 and Season 2)
Sylvia: Okay, well... this event just happened, so we can't be far from the orbble station. Just a bit further forward...
Wander: Further forward. Got it! (He starts running extremely fast as Sylvia rolls in the bubble helplessly)
Sylvia: What?! Slow down! Stop! (He stops and lands on the ground of a planet. The bubble pops)
Wander: Where are we?
Sylvia: When are we?
(Growling is heard. Wander and Sylvia look around and notice The Arachnomorph Queen from 'The Search for Captain Tim', as well as Lord Hater and Ripov being stuck in her web. She walks up to hater and growls at him.)
Wander: (panickedly) We have to save Lord Hater!! (Sylvia grabs him with her tail, he continues trying to run)
Sylvia: Wander, this must be the future! We can't interfere now. We'll have to save him later when the time comes!
Wander: But the time is now!
Sylvia: Not yet it's not. We'll make a note of this moment and come back when the time is right. Okay, buddy? We just gotta get back!
Wander: Gotta get back. Back to the past! (He makes an orbble bubble around them and runs fast again)
Sylvia: Wander, no!
(The two return to the flip screen format and start walking past it as the screens feature more episodes)
Wander: Okay, I don't have much to go on. Just my gut, a sneaking suspicion, and a quick eye for detail, but I think we right... about... here! (He stops, and so does Sylvia, who has been thrown around the bubble again. She looks around)
Sylvia: Uh, Wander? (She looks in front of her and notices what seems to be a galactical conjuction, then down, worriedly)
Major Threat: (Stands on top of the temple with a sidekick, mirroring the events of 'The Picnic') You're too late, Admiral Admirable! (Camera zooms out to reveal Major Threat's army of octopus-like aliens, Admiral Admirable's army of feet, and finally, Admiral Admirable himself, who looks like a narwhal wearing a crown and attire with various multiple medals. He rides a unicycle and holds a cup in his right hand, speaking in a fancy manner as fancy music plays)
Admiral Admirable: FYI, I knew about this pyramid before it became a thing...
Sylvia: Another galactic conjunction? This can't be the future, can it?
Wander: Nope, this is the past! A looong time ago, in a galaxy far, far, far away, adjacent to the one we're in now... (he gets confused) or then... oh, sorry, I'm really confused.
Sylvia: (angrily) Ooh, time travel!
Wander: Look!
(Camera cuts to Past Wander, continuing to mirror the events of 'The Picnic')
Past Wander: Major Threat, is that you?
Sylvia: Wander, is that... you?
Tumbleweed: It's me, Tumbleweed! Are you here to watch the planets align, too? Look! I even packed a piiicniiic!
Sylvia: "Tumbleweed"?
Wander: Folks in this galaxy called me Tumbleweed. Who am I to say what's what?
Sylvia: You are a man of mystery, my friend.
Tumbleweed: You remember me, right? Tumbleweed! I travel the galaxy, I'm about this tall, wear a hat, and sometimes, I make this face. (He makes a silly face. Cut to Present Wander making the same face)
Sylvia: You do this a lot, don't you?
Wander: Whatever it takes to find the good in the bad! (Sylvia grabs him and they return to the flip screen format and start walking past it as the screens feature more episodes. Suddenly the bubble they're in pops and they fall down, landing on another planet. Sylvia lifts her head and looks around)
Sylvia: Oh, no. No, no, no, no. Not here! (She clutches her head in distress)
Wander: What's wrong? When are we?
(Camera cuts to reveal Past Sylvia wearing a headband, arm warmers, a green scarf and bandaid on her snout, among other things. The outfit is similar to the one she wore in 'The End of the Galaxy'. Sylvia stands on a mountain, and a robot that looks identical to Killbot 86 from 'The Bounty' stands on the opposite one. He holds a bag with something inside of it)
Past Sylvia: Back off, Killbot 85! This is my bounty!
(Killbot 85 opens fire. Sylvia leaps up in the air, dodging all the shots. Killbot pulls out a saw which Sylvia dodges just in time. She then tackles him, punches him and throws him into a mountain. He explodes. Sylvia lands on the ground, with the bag landing in front of her. The bag starts moving and she opens it. Past Wander is inside. He looks at her and smiles. Sylvia smiles back)
Sylvia: Never hurts to help!.. (She pauses) ...Yourself! (Wander opens his mouth and inhales to say something, but is interrupted as Sylvia picks up the bag with him still in it and starts carrying it) Come on, you wandering weirdo!
Past Wander: "Wander"... huh! I like the sound of that! (He beams)
(Pan to Present Wander and Present Sylvia. The former watches on with a smile, while the former facepalms, feeling ashamed. Wander turns to look at her)
Wander: What's wrong, Syl? I knew you were a bad guy... I was there!
Sylvia: Yeah, but I'd rather forget it. (She looks down, deflated) I've come a long way since then. (Wander hugs her) I don't wanna live in the past. I just wanna keep moving forward. (Wander takes the orbble bottle out of his hat and tries to gather up some orbble juice, but fails and looks in the bottle)
Wander: Oh no! (He and Sylvia look at the wand) Our last orbble!
Sylvia: If we don't get back to the orbble station...
Wander: ...Then we're stuck wherever and whenever the orbble pops!
Sylvia: Let's do this! No time to lose!
(Wander makes a bubble around them. They let out a sigh, then look at each other and nod. The two return to the flip screen format and start walking past more episodes. They look at them, then forward. It goes on for a while)
Wander/Sylvia: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no... (They stop in space, which gets sucked into the void)
Wander: The end of time! Too far! (They rush back.)
(Before all the scenes from various episodes end on the right side of the screen, a never-before-seen picture of the Star Nomad is shown)
(Before all the scenes from various episodes end on the left side of the screen, a never-before-seen picture of a monkey in an American space suit with cracked glass is shown. Wander and Sylvia then end up in the void again)
Sylvia: The beginning of time! Too far! (They rush back. Wander stops Sylvia)
Wander: STOP!!! We're here! The station! (The bubble pops and Wander and Sylvia fall down again. They get up and look around as two brothers walk out of the station that has a garage)
Orbble: Hello, weary travelers! I'm Orbble, and this is my brother Wilmur, and you are at the Wright place!
Wilmur: Yep!
Wander/Sylvia: (They look at each other) At the wrong time!!!
Orbble: Say, friends, can we tempt you with our brand new invention? The orbble transporter! Traverse the universe one step at a time!
Wilmur: Yep!
Sylvia: Orbbles! Perfect! We'll take some time orbbles!
Wander: So we can return to the present!
Orbble: Hmm... time orbbles... never heard of those. Eh, Wilmur?
Wilmur: Nope!
Orbble: Sounds like a bang-up idea though!
Wilmur: Yep!
Orbble: We'll get to work on 'em straight away!
Sylvia: (gasps) Really?!
Wilmur: Yep.
Orbble: Should have them figured out in about five...
Wilmur: Nope.
Orbble: ...Fifty years!
Wilmur: Yep!
(Orbble and Wilmur wander off)
Sylvia: We're stuck here!
Wander: We're not stuck! We can travel the galaxy like we always do! We'll just be ahead of the trends!
Sylvia: (falls down to the ground) We can't, because the... paradox of the space-time continuum... butterflies! We have to stay put.
Wander: (freaks out) Gah, time travel!! (He falls down to the ground as well) Sylvia, this is all my fault! I was so caught up in living in the past that I ruined our future!
Sylvia: You didn't, buddy. You know what would ruin our future? Feeling sorry for ourselves and not living in the present. (She gets up and helps Wander up, then turns to the station with a garage) Hey fellas! How about we run the station while you hurry up and focus on those time orbbles?
(Orbble and Wilmur come out of the garage, nod and go back again)
Wander: Fifty years are gonna fly right by!
(Wander and Sylvia stand by the orbble transporter. They hug and run to the station. Cross-fade from one orbble transporter to two of them: one with regular orbble juice and one with time orbble juice. Zoom out to reveal the station looking run-down and dilapidated. Cut to Future Sylvia looking very old. She notices Past Wander and Past Sylvia coming towards the station, like in the beginning of the episode)
Future Sylvia: (in an elderly voice) Wander! Today's the day!
(Cut to Wander sleeping. He wakes up and looks at the calendar, according to which, it's currently "Mapril". The first sixteen days of the month are X-ed out, while the seventeenth is circled)
Future Wander: (in an elderly voice) Today's the day! (He opens a drawer with a sign inside. The sign has the crossed out symbol)
Future Sylvia: (Hides behind a car she was fixing) Hurry, Wander!
Future Wander: I'm going as fast as I can! (Camera shows him running very fast, then cuts and zooms out to reveal that he's actually going very slow. As he gets behind the time orbble transporter, Past Wander and Past Sylvia land on the planet. Their bubble pops. They look around)
(Unsettling music plays.)
Past Sylvia: I get that space is quiet and all, but... (sighs) this place's giving me the willies. (Starts to tiptoe backwards. A halt sound effect plays.)
(Wander is seen pulling Sylvia back with her reins.)
Past Wander: No, this place is amazing! (Cuts from a shot of Wander and Sylvia from inside of the orbble station, but this time, Future Sylvia is shown hiding from them inside.) Just think of the stories of this old, tiny orbble station can tell.
(Cuts back to Wander and Sylvia.)
Past Sylvia: I'd rather stay focused on the present to help us get outta here. (Takes out an empty orbble juice container and shakes it, then sighs) We are totally out of orbble juice. I'll go pay, you fill up.
(Sylvia throws the empty orbble juice container to Wander. Wander tries to catch but it ends up twisting up his arms. Shot of the orbble juice container rolling on the floor. Wander then picks it up in front of the orbble dispenser. As he does it, Future Wander puts the sign with a crossed out symbol on the time orbble transporter. Past Wander mindlessly grabs the Time Orbble dispenser as ominous music starts playing. He's about to fill up the container, but notices the sign)
Past Wander: "Out Of Order"? (He looks at the time orbble sign above the transporter) Huh. Time orbbles?! Whoo. Close call. (He puts the dispenser back, fills up the orbble bottle with regular orbble juice and walks off. Future Wander peeks out to look at him, then sneaks away and hides behind a car next to Future Sylvia. They watch Past Wander and Past Sylvia make a bubble and wander off. Future Wander and Future Sylvia come out of hiding)
Future Wander: (Sighs) We did it, Syl old girl. They bought regular old orbbles.
Future Sylvia: We closed the time loop so none of this ever happened.
(They hug.)
Future Wander: Sorry we had to waste our time waiting here.
Future Sylvia: Not a waste of time if I got to spend it with you, pal.
(They disappear.)
(Cut to Past Wander and Past Sylvia walking away from the planet)
Past Wander: I almost bought time orbbles. Can you believe it?
Past Sylvia: (Speaks as the camera zooms in on her) Uugh. That could've turned into a whole thing.
(Cut to black.)
End Credits[]
Wander watches his past self attempt scoot down the hill.
Past Wander: Eh...eh...eh...eh...eh...eh...eh...eh...eh...
(Cut to Future Wander and Future Sylvia watching Past Wander. Future Wander does so excitedly while Sylvia looks bored.)
Future Sylvia: (exhales) How long are we gonna...
Wander: Shhh! This is my favorite part! (He continues watching while petting Sylvia on the snout.)
(Disney and Disney XD logos appear. Cut to black)
