Comet Goddess

The one with the tiny aliens.

"Teen Idol" contains examples of:

  • The Chosen One: Jenny is thought of to be the 'chosen one' by tiny aliens.
  • God Guise: Jenny is mistaken for a prophesied comet goddess by tiny aliens.
  • Snipe Hunt: Jenny accidentally crash-lands on an alien planet, which causes the inhabitants to treat her as a "Comet Goddess." They then follow her back to her school on Earth, much to her annoyance, but are willing to do anything she says. Jenny then asks them to find a grain of sand shaped exactly like (the head of) Abraham Lincoln. Not only do they accomplish said task, they manage to bring in an entire gymnasium's worth of "Lincoln sand."
  • Something We Forgot: The aliens are sent near the sub and get to live their lives as a comet. Unfortunately Sheldon (whose obsession didn't come from her being a comet) is still on there.
  • Stop Worshipping Me: While the worship is nice at first, she eventually gets sick of it.

The one with Sheldon in space.

"Good Old Sheldon" contains examples of:

  • Death by De-aging: Due to complications involving Time Dilation, Sheldon ends up becoming an old man. Dr. Wakeman manages to create a de-aging mechanism based on Jenny's movements, however, she's still fighting once he gets back to his normal age. By the time he's an infant, Dr. Wakeman warns Jenny not to make any movements lest Sheldon be reduced to a zygote, and has to age another 15 years to get back to normal.
  • Easily Forgiven: Sheldon is incensed that because of Jenny he spent several decades in space and swears he'll never forgive her. All it takes is a joyous hug from her for him to get over it, caught up in his crush again.
  • Older Than They Look: Due to time dilation from space travel, de-aging to infancy and further time dilation to return him to normal, Sheldon is at least over twice his physical age as a teenager.
  • Out of Time, Out of Mind: Sheldon goes through a series of time dilations and space travel that results in him living in space for 90 years (but looking the same). He then goes back to high school at the end, and acts pretty much the same from then on, despite being 105 years old now.
  • Space Pirates: Earth is invaded by a group of space pirates, operating a spaceship that looked like an old galleon, equipped with lasers that look like old-timey cannons. The pirates themselves are dressed like traditional pirates from the 18th century.
