## History

### GOAT of the Month

When Gabby meets her latest, client, Astra, a native of the planet Targol, she outlines her latest frustrations, concerning the strong likelihood that Wesley's horrible singing voice will cost them any consideration for Havensburg Junior High's "Goat of the Month" during their duet for Susie Glover's "Open Mics for Broken Bikes." fundraiser. Throughout Gabby's words, Astra has been effortlessly gliding through the air between item-filled shelves and a small cauldron wuth which she is brewing a strange liquid. Half-jokingly Gabby asks if Astra could brew her a concoction to make her GOAT of the Month. Astra explains she has been making her "Night-Night milk" that helps her to sleep. However, Astra claims she could devise such a potion, as long as Gabby is specific in what exactly is wanted. Gabby asks for something to give Wesley a voice as pleasing as Gabby's own. Astra states it is possible, but she requires a sample of Wesley's DNA. Gabby supplies a bottle clouded with Wesley's backwash, and the younger girl states that the potion will be made. Astra then offers Gabby a cup of her finished drink which is accepted. Gabby finds the brew delicious but is unable to finish asking how effective the beverage is, before falling to the floor asleep. Gabby returns to see Astra with Wesley, when they discover the potion has had the effect of switching their singing voices, and ask her to reverse the effect. Astra, explains that the Universe preserves balance, and if Wesley was to sing like Gabby, Gabby had to sing like Wesley. Gabby tries to obfucate the reasons why the spray was created initially, but Astra chides her for being deceptive, and candidly tells Wesley that Gabby considered his voice a "dumpster fire" that would cost them any chance for winning GOAT of the Month. Stung, a miffed Wesley declares that he no longer cares about the title and departs, but not before singing to Gabby in her own voice, that she didn't deserve his enthusiasm. After Wesley has left, Astra notes that his voice was beautiful, and Gabby thanks Astra for the compliment. Depressed, Gabby lays down on Astra's table for awhile, and admits she regrets hurting Wesley's feelings. Astra comments that making her best friend feel like "snarlax dung," was merely part of Gabby's life journey, and asks why being GOAT of the Month is so important to her. Gabby admits that because her alien babysitting career must remain secret, she craves some form of public acknowledgement for herself. Astra inquires if such notoriety is worth Wesley's friendship. Sitting up, Gabby realizes that it is not, and states she has to fix it. Telling Gabby to wait, Astra offers to concoct a potion to switch voices back, but the other girl says she has to do something else first. Swinging her legs off the table, Gabby sweeps off several objects, which fall and shatter on the floor below, as she leaves. Momentarily losing her usual calm, as she stares down at the disarray, Astra dramatically wails that her parents will kill her if they see the mess, but as her normal serene nature reasserts, concludes that would merely be part of their journey.

### The Fault in Our Star Night

Wesley goes to Astra to remove embarassing memories before he and Sky have their first kiss, which would allow his telepathic girlfriend increased access to his mind. Astra takes Wesley to a special chamber and hooks him up to a helmet which siphons away memories in a fluid form. Astra states it is a short process, that will take several six-hour sessions over four weeks. However, an anxious Wesley calls Astra a liar, as that is not short, and despite a hurried apology, Astra adds another week to his schedule.
