I Am Jean Henri Fabre

## **The Plot:**

Everyone in Yadina’s class is collecting bugs to show off to the others. Yadina wants to find the perfect bug to show off. Yadina, her brother, and her reluctant best friend head to the Secret Museum and travel back in time to meet entomologist Jean Henri Fabre. But while there, they encounter a Kaiju-sized moth goddess known as Mothra.

* Xavier: Is my sister okay?
* Mothra: Yep. She is pretty much okay.
* Jean: She just fainted.
* Xavier: How long until she wakes up?
* Mothra: Maybe about, 30 seconds
* .....
* (Yadina wakes up really slow while she imitates the rise up)

* Yadina: Oh.
* Brad: Some bugs are night hunters.
* Jean: Like scorpions.
* Mothra: Wow, What do you know?
* Jean: I know that.
* Xavier: Wow! If a scorpion had a pink gooey jelly spear.
* Brad: Then it would yell "Get over here!"
* Jean: Not quite. But real life scorpions don't have jelly spears
* Yadina: Oh.
* Brad: (Yawns) I'm think I'm getting tired.
* Jean: Me too.
* Yadina: And so are the bugs.
* Xavier: Yeah, we need to get some sleep.
* Jean: Alright everybody. Goodnight
* Xavier, Yadina and Brad: Good night.

* (The glitch happens)
* Brad: (Talking really fast) Berby!
* Yadina: (Talking really slow) What happened to you?
