It's time for the annual pet fair, and Pleskit wants to participate. He doesn't have a dog, a cat, a hamster, or even a turtle.

He does, however, have a Veeblax, a shapeshifting creature that could be the most interesting pet in the show. Despite a warning from his Fatherly One, Pleskit takes his alien pet to school.

But animals need time to get used to new situations -- and what could be more new for the Veeblax than a gymnasium full of new creatures?

Before long the Veeblax is in big trouble, and if the enemies of the alien mission have their way Pleskit may lose his pet, his teacher may lose her job, and Earth may lose the benefits of the alien connection!
