The Wayne-Sandburg kids are helping David clean his attic, while their parents are outta town. Georgia, Ty, Olive & Wilfred are gone shopping. "Spending my summer cleaning out junk outta ur attic...gr8!" Ellie mutters, sarcastically. "We're bored! Let's do somethin' fun!" Rose & Rory yell. "Georgia's been naggin' me to clean this place up & she's gonna kill me if she finds out I haven't yet!" David mumbles frightfully. He stumbles onto a box of old Playboy magazines. "These Playboys must've belonged to the person who owned this place before us." he mutters, hiding the box away from the kids. Unfortunately, they overhear him! "What's a Playboy?" a clueless Rose asks. "I know what it is!" Rory cries out, excitedly. David gulps. "I bet it's a cross between PlayStation & a Gameboy!" he replies, innocently. "Yeah...that's what it is, my little genius!" David lies, heaving a sigh of relief & patting a proud Rory on the back. Suddenly, a poster of a scantily dressed Marilyn Monroe slips outta the magazine & Ellie spots it before David can hide it! A curious Ellie looks closely at the poster, observing Marilyn's curves keenly. "She seems like a real fashionable person! Who is she?" Ellie (the aspiring fashion designer!) asks. "Marilyn Monroe-the bombshell o' the fifties!" David replies, drooling! "We should take a trip to the fifties then! I'd love to get some beauty/fashion tips from her!" a determined Ellie decides, dragging everyone to the parked Tardis (which was gifted to David after he turned Matt in for stealing her!) in his garage. "I dunno if u'd like her fashion sense. She was a skimpy dresser, ya know!" David warns Ellie , still thinking that the late actress might be a bad influence on her! "I don't care! I can just imagine us 2 beauties exchanging fashion tips!" she boasts, dreamily. She pushes him aside & storms inside, followed by her equally excited siblings. "Fine! But, we'll only stay for a short while...an' I don't want ya tryin' on any o' her outfits! Ur folks are gonna be shocked if they see ya dolled up, wearing skimpy outfits back home, like a mini Marilyn!" David warns, before setting the coordinates for Hollywood, 1962-a few weeks before the starlet's untimely death.
