From where the episode left off, Alice has seen something climbing on the tent. However, when she looks, it turns out to have been an ant. Alice thinks ants are cool, and she wonders what being one is like, which gives her the idea for her story.
The story is titled The Adventures of Ant Alice and Ant Helen. It beings with herself and Helen outside studying ants for a school assignment, but then Helen trips and breaks Daniel's flashlight. She puts it back together incorrectly and ends up somehow causing it to shrink Alice. Then, when looking at it to find out how, she shrinks herself. The shrunken girls decide that they need a scientist to help them grow back to normal size, so they get Martha to carry them to the workplace of the professor who's sometimes seen narrating. However, he does not know how to regrow them, so they have to adjust to being small, having proportionally-giant dinners, being good at hide-and-seek, and being flown on T.D.'s kite.
Alice thinks of this as a happy ending, but Martha wants them to grow back to normal. Truman then reveals that while Alice had been telling her story, he'd been writing a sequel, which he then tells. The sequel begins with the professor observing the shrunken girls outside, when it starts to snow, scaring the girls. Luckily, he invents a reverse shrink ray called a "huge-maker", which he uses to grow them to normal size.
They invite him to a thank-you dinner, but unbeknown to them, the huge-maker has also increased the size of an ant. Meanwhile, he (Truman) is trying to remove a toy plane from a tree, when the ant shows up. He retrieves the plane, then he gets him to help retrieve other hard-to-reach objects and they make friends. Then, he makes friends with Truman's other friends, but he misses his ant friends, so he grows them with the huge-maker.
Truman ends his story, but Martha doesn't like the story ending with giant ants everywhere. Then, Danny arrives with some more s'mores (without chocolate, so that Martha can have one) and claims that he has a story of his own. It begins with them camping as usual, but Martha needs to go outside and when she steps outside, she sees the tent is now floating in space.
T.D. determines that it was because he didn't hammer the stakes in properly, but luckily, Danny reveals himself to be a space ranger named Crash Action. He doesn't have superpowers, to the kids' disappointment, but he does have a plan: he has everyone shake up soda bottles and stick them out the door pointing up, which pushes them back down to Earth.
