Episode 2
Toby "Toe" Thompson (Jimmy Bennett) begins telling the story from his point of view and explaining The Black Box Inc, where the "Black Box", a small cube that can fill any technological need is created. Toe is regularly bullied by Helvetica "Hel" Black (Jolie Vanier) and her brother Colbert "Cole" (Devon Gearhart). Toe speculates in front of everyone that Hel loves him, which infuriates Hel and ends with Toe head first in a trash can.
As Toe walks home, Cole and his gang chase him into a construction site and start throwing rocks. Cole throws a rainbow-colored rock at Toe and him in the head. Toe picks up the rock, and upon hearing a voice telling him to make a wish, he wishes for friends, which come in the form of tiny aliens. Toe takes the aliens to school, which leads to a series of events ending with Toe and Hel falling from the school's roof and breaking their arms. The aliens decide leave, but Toe keeps the rock.

Famous quotes containing the word episode:
“Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
