- (Turner's front yard)
- Timmy: Ivan, you've pacing around for hours. What's the story?
- Ivan: That's just it. Sometimes, I wonder about all the people in Dimmsdale. Do you think anything interesting ever happens to them? I mean, there must be hundreds of great stories out there.
- Timmy: Well, for as long as I've lived here, I think not much stories are interesting around town.
- Cosmo: Oooh, I've got an interesting story of my own.
- Wanda: Oh, dear.
- Cosmo: Once upon a time... the end.
- (short pause)
- Astronov: And so, the empty headness rolls on.
- Cosmo: On the contrary. My head is full of fur from Sparky. You know, when he used to live with us.
- Neptunia: You sure are curious about your new friends' lives, huh, Ivan? Makes you want to automatically get a glimpse of the personal stuff.
- Ivan: Hey, I just thought of an idea.
- Neptunia: Really? What's that like?
- Ivan: I can use some power to see through people's thoughts and lives. If only there was a way for me to do that.
- (short pause)
- Astronov and Neptunia: (pull up their wands) Ah-hem.
- Ivan: I know. Just yanking your chain. I wish I had the power to see through people's personalities and lives.
- (Astronov and Neptunia raised their wands; MIND-POOF)
- Ivan: Let's see if it works.
- (tries it on Poof; seeing his view of life)
- Ivan: Wow, Poof. Something tells me that you will have a bright future.
- Poof: Thanks. I can see that it works.
- Ivan: Great. Now to really test this out. (tries it on Timmy) Okay Timmy, I'm getting a lot of ups and downs of your life.
- Timmy: Yeah, I'd rather not talk about it much. I mean I can be selfish sometimes, but I still have a good heart. One time, my selfishness has gotten over the top, and as punishment, I was forced to have a boil like one of my backup friends, Elmer.
- Ivan: Hmm. Pretty deep.
- Timmy: Not to mention ignoring Tootie's multiple birthday party invitations.
- (Tootie pops up)
- Tootie: Someone say my name?
- Ivan: Hi Tootie. Hey, I was wondering, what's life like in your point of view?
- Tootie: Oh, where do I begin?
- (Ivan starts visioning Tootie's view of life while she's talking; Ivan seeing through her view in life and shudders)
- Ivan: Very interesting.
- Tootie: Thanks. It's nice to have a friend who understands. (walk out)
- Timmy: You didn't listen to a word she said, did you?
- Ivan: Not at all.
- Neptunia: I have a question to ask.
- Astronov: What is it, honey?
- Neptunia: Am I not too bright?
- Astronov: Well, I wouldn't say bright, per se.
- Neptunia: And there's no need to pull your life viewing magic of me, Scamp. I can tell myself that my life is nothing but total nonsense.
- Cosmo: That's crazy.
- Neptunia: I mean, isn't there anybody in the world who is less intelligent than me?
- Mr. Turner: (heard) Oh Timmy.
- (fairies poof away)
- Mr. Turner: I have a question for you. Does the egg come before the chicken or the other way around?
- Timmy: Come on, dad, that's an answer even you should know.
- Mr. Turner: I don't know, son. I've spent my whole life daydreaming anytime someone talks to me. Ehh, what are we talking about?
- Timmy: You're not paying attention to my thing.
- Mr. Turner: Hmm? Sorry, I was daydreaming.
- Mrs. Turner: Honey, you need to take your mental medicine if you are willing to move on with a bright life.
- Mr. Turner: Ehh...
- Mrs. Turner: Don't tell me, you were daydreaming. (grabs a hold of her husband and took him inside)
- Ivan: I sure don't need to see through your dad's life.
- Timmy: Why don't we check on everyone else in school?
- Ivan: Great idea. Surely there are kids with a great future in their minds.
- (Timmy and Ivan walk out)
- (Dimmsdale Elementary)
- (Ivan and Timmy walks right to Chester; A.J. seen drinking from the water fountain)
- Chester: Hey, guys. What's going on?
- Ivan: We have some questions for you.
- Chester: Okay.
- Timmy: I never really ask you this, but, what do you see in your life?
- Chester: Oh, it sure has some upsides in it.
- (Ivan viewing Chester's life as he's talking inaudibly)
- Chester: And that's why I want to join the force.
- Ivan: Something tells me you want to be a police officer.
- Chester: Yeah. Hey, if you guys want to hear more stories, you should see Elmer and Sanjay.
- Timmy: Where are they?
- Chester: In the cafeteria playing nerd poker.
- Timmy: (to Ivan) They are some of the biggest geeks in this school. But, Chester, A.J. and I treat them with care. And when Chester and A.J. aren't around, I have Elmer and Sanjay, my back-up friends to keep me company.
- Ivan: How nice.
- (Cafeteria)
- (Elmer and Sanjay playing nerd poker)
- Sanjay: Aha! I blast you with my Ball of Infinite Exposition!
- Elmer: Aw man, you bored my character to death.
- (Timmy and Ivan walk near Elmer and Sanjay)
- Timmy: Hey, guys.
- Sanjay: Hi, Timmy.
- Elmer: And you must be Ivan. Timmy told us a lot about you.
- Ivan: Nice to meet you two as well. Hey, I know we've just met and all, but can you guys tell me your own views in life?
- Elmer: Hmmm. Well, I never told anyone this, but...
- (Ivan glimpses Sanjay and Elmer's lives; Ivan looked surprised)
- Timmy: That sounds good. Wanting to be the new Principal in Dimmsdale Elementary.
- Elmer: Thanks.
- Ivan: And for you, Sanjay, wanting to be a librarian and having a motorcycle. That's some hard earned money to put up with.
- Sanjay: You're telling me.
- Ivan: Well, it was nice meeting you two.
- Sanjay and Elmer: Bye.
- (Elmer quickly peeked at Sanjay's cards)
- Sanjay: (snatch his cards) Oh, don't even think about it.
- (music montage; Ivan uses his powers to see through peoples lives around him; talking to various people around town; talked to Vicky but gets chased by her holding a chainsaw; talks to Mr. Dinkleberg with Mr. Turner watching him through his window; talks to Trixie then, along with Timmy gets ejected after Trixie pulls a lever; music montage over)
- (Timmy's room)
- Ivan: Well, I'm done. I can see that everyone in Dimmsdale is just the same as everyone back in Russia.
- Timmy: How does it feel?
- Ivan: It feels just like home. That's the real reason I've made this wish.
- Timmy: What are you talking about?
- Poof: Were you by any chance, homesick?
- Ivan: I was. But now that the wish is over, I grew out of it.
- Astronov: You see, Ivan, no matter where you live, and as long as it's nice, it's home.
- Ivan: You're right, Astronov.
- Wanda: And no matter what happens and makes you feel different, your fairies will be there to support you.
- Timmy: Even your best friend.
- (screen fades to black; Mr. and Mrs. Turner appear in the black background)
- Mr. Turner: (breaks the fourth wall) Hey, what are we doing in a dark background? I must be daydreaming again.
- (Mrs. Turner sighs)
