Sidekick Ahoy: Part 2

Aria's POV:

We're all back in Moncrief's spaceship apartment when Leo stops Donnie from sitting in the captain's chair.

Leo: "Whoa. D, the captain's chair is not for sidekicks."

Donnie: "Though, as JJ's biggest fan, maybe you deserve to sit in it."

Leo walks over to do so when Jupiter Jim frowns in disappointment.

Jupiter Jim: "What's this?"

Donnie: "What? Leo, a sidekick, sitting in the captain's chair? For shame."

Jupiter Jim: *holds up remote* "Minus one space point for Blue. Everyone starts with 50 space points. First to 53 wins."

Leo: "You couldn't have started at 0?"

Jupiter Jim: "Blue, minus another space point for asking questions about space points. Now, the reason you're here..."

Jupiter Jim leads us to a room containing a board covered in yarn connecting various photos, newspaper articles, and a photo of a common scorpion.

Mikey: "Wow. You've got to tell me who your yarn guy is."

Jupiter Jim: "This is the alien I've been tracking: Scorpion. I don't know what he's planning, but he's been spotted at the bomb factory and the zoo."

Donnie: "Let's go ahead and get this competition started, so Leo can lose more points.

Jupiter Jim: "Trial One: Weapons. If we are to handle Scorpion's alien powers, you must be as proficient with my tech as Red Fox was. Now, engage. Winner gets a space point."

Raph, Jim, Mikey & I sit on the sidelines as Leo dons the Jupiter Jim lizard robot suit while Donnie calls Leo on his phone.

Leo: "Ooh, give me one second. I'm getting a call."

Leo goes to answer his phone but accidentally knocks himself over with the robot arm as Raph laughs mockingly.

Raph: "That is what you get for playing space camp with Captain Cuckoo."

Jupiter Jim: "Trial 2: Mortal Peril. Often, I'm in danger. More often, you're in danger."

Mikey, Leo & Donnie hang upside down from a rope over a pool of fake acid.

Mikey: "It's like living inside a Jupiter Jim comic!"

Jupiter Jim: "Scorpion may capture you, so show me who's got the best screams of helplessness so that I can find you."

Leo: "By the rings of Jupiter, save me!"

Mikey: "Save me pretty, pretty, pretty, please!"

Donnie: "Save me, and I'll throw in a free month of IT support!"

Raph & I are sitting in lawn chairs on opposite sides of the 'acid' vat, drinking soda from coconuts.

Raph: "Ha! Look at you guys. Fake whining over clearly fake acid."

Raph tosses his now empty coconut behind him, accidentally triggering the rope to drop the others into the soda.

Mikey: "It burns! The sweet, bubbly acid burns! Oh, wait, it's just soda."

Jupiter Jim: "Trial 3: taking out henchmen because Scorpion may have minions."
