The Plane's The Thing

The Plane's The Thing is the fourteenth episode of the first season of The Adventures Of True.

Timmy gets a new model airplane and shows it off to True, Stocking Head, Franklin, and Sunny, but when it breaks, True is blamed for it.

One day, True and Stocking Head were hanging out in the living room. James was out grocery shopping and Moose was doing some cleaning work in the kitchen.

"What should we do today, Stocking Head?" asked True.

"Wanna watch something on TV?" Stocking Head replied.

"Why not?" True shrugged.

With that, Stocking Head got the remote and turned on the TV, and it didn't take too long to find something.

"Hey, Transformers: Cyberverse is on." said Stocking Head. "We can watch that."

"I guess it does look interesting." said True.

With that, the two watched the episode of said show, which was "The End of the Universe Part 1", and it was soon over.

"That was actually pretty good." said True. "I think it was nice how the Autobots and the Decepticons decided to put aside their differences and join forces to protect Cybertron."

"Yeah, it was." agreed Stocking Head. "Well, it's your turn to pick something now."

He gave True the remote and she scoured through the TV guide, and soon saw How It's Made on Science Channel.

"Wanna watch How It's Made?" she asked.

"Sure." replied Stocking Head.

And so, True and Stocking Head watched the show, which was about how they made turf grass, beef jerky, wood chippers, and bowling pins.

"Wow, that was great." said Stocking Head once the show ended. "I've always wondered how beef jerky was made."

"And I've always wondered how bowling pins were made." added True.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"Who could that be?" asked Stocking Head. "Were you expecting anyone?"

"No." True denied. "Were you?"

"Nope." replied Stocking Head. "We might as well go see who it is."

True nodded, and after turning the TV off, they went to the door, and when they answered, they saw Franklin.

"Oh, hey, Franklin." True greeted. "What's up?"

"Can you two meet me, Sunny, and Timmy at the model airplane field?" Franklin asked. "Timmy got a new model plane and he wants to show it off."

"Yeah, we'll be there." Stocking Head replied.

"Great." said Franklin. "Let's go!"

"We'll be at the model airplane field, Moose!" True called to Moose.

"Okay." Moose called back. "Enjoy yourselves!"

And with that, True and Stocking Head followed Franklin to the model airplane field, where Sunny and Timmy were waiting. Timmy was holding a remote control in his left hand and a white foam airplane with two-toned blue details.

"Wow." True gasped. "Nice plane, Timmy. Where did you get it?"

"It came in the mail this morning." said Timmy. "My grandpa sent it to me."

"Nice." said True. "Are you going to fly it?"

"Well, of course I am." Timmy chuckled. "Why did you think I had you guys meet me here?"

"Good point." True giggled.

Soon, the plane was airborne.

"Wow, look at it go!" cried Franklin.

"If you think that's cool, watch this." said Timmy.

Timmy then maneuvered the miniscule aircraft into a series of loop-de-loops, figure-eights, and corkscrews. Everyone was amazed by this spectacle.

"Boy, I wish I had one of those." True said to herself. "They look really fun."

After a while, everyone started to feel hungry.

"Gee, all this model airplane piloting really works up an appetite." said Timmy after he landed the plane.

"So does watching them fly." added Franklin.

"You know, before I left, my mom gave me some money in case we wanted to buy lunch from somewhere." Timmy then said. "How about Subway?"

Everyone agreed, and Timmy took out a notepad and a pen while Sunny pulled up the Subway menu on her phone.

"Alright, what do you and True want, Sunny?" asked Timmy. "Me, Franklin, and Stocking Head will go and pick up the food while you two stay here with the plane."

"Good call." said Sunny. "And to answer your question, I'll have a Black Forest Ham salad with black olives, cucumbers, green peppers, lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, yellow mustard, and seasoned with Parmesan cheese."

"Okay." nodded Timmy as he jotted that down. "What about you, True?"

"I'll take a turkey breast wrap with Provolone cheese, cucumbers, green peppers, lettuce, spinach, ranch sauce, pepperoni, and seasoned with salt and pepper in a spinach wrap." said True.

"Alright." replied Timmy as he wrote down True's order. "We'll be right back. Oh! By the way, did we want any drinks and/or chips with our food?"

"Sure, why not?" replied Franklin.

"Yeah, I'd like Sun Chips and Simply Lemonade with my salad." said Sunny.

"And I'll have Fritos and Simply Apple with my wrap." added True.

"Okie-dokie." agreed Timmy. "We'll see you in a bit."

And with that, the boys left to get the food while True and Sunny waited with the plane. It didn't take long for Sunny to get an idea.

"Hey, True, wanna fly the plane around for a bit?" she asked.

True wasn't so sure.

"I don't think that's a good idea." she said. "Timmy might not like it if we flew it without asking him first."

"What Timmy doesn't know won't hurt him." replied Sunny. "Besides, we'll only fly it for a minute, then bring it back down before they get back."

"Well, since you put it that way, I guess it won't hurt to fly it for just a little bit." True finally managed to agree.

"Great." said Sunny. "Like I said, it'll only be up in the air for one minute and back down on the ground the next."

"If you say so." shrugged True.

Sunny picked up the controller for the plane and soon, it was in the sky again. She tried to make the plane to a corkscrew like Timmy did, which was initially successful, but then, something terrible happend. When Sunny tried to take the plane out of the corkscrew, it just kept spinning. Sunny tried and tried to make it work, but she ended up breaking the controller in the process. The two girls could only watch in pure horror as the plane's propeller stopped spinning and the plane itself plunged into a downward spiral before crashing into the ground.

"Oh, please let it be still in one piece." True pleaded as she and Sunny went over to survey the damage.

But unfortunately, it wasn't. The plane's wings and propeller had broken at the point of impact.

"Oh no!" Sunny cried. "It's broken!"

"I told you this was a bad idea!" said True.

Sunny and True picked up the pieces and took them back to where they were previously.

"What are we going to do?" asked Sunny. "Timmy's going to kill me!"

Sunny then saw Timmy, Stocking Head, and Franklin approaching. Just seeing the boys petrified her, so she ran off and hid behind a large bush.

"Sunny, what are you doing?!" True asked. "Don't leave me here!"

But it was much too late. Timmy saw the state of his plane and was furious.

"True, what the heck did you do to my plane?!" he snapped.

"Well, you see, Timmy, Sunny and I thought we'd fly your plane around for a bit." True explained. "We tried to do a corkscrew manuever with it, but as we tried to bring it back down, well, the rest is history."

Timmy's face was as red as Franklin's cap and kerchief and parts of Stocking Head's namesake hat.

"You flew my plane without asking me?!" he roared. "How could you do this?! I thought we were friends!"

"Timmy, it was an accident!" True protested.

"Yeah, Timmy, you're not being fair." said Stocking Head.

"That's right." agreed Franklin.

"But she wasn't being fair to me, either!" Timmy shouted. "That idiot took something that didn't belong to her, fooled around with it, and broke it!"

True's heart sank the moment the word "idiot" left Timmy's mouth. Timmy then looked angrily at True.

"Get out of here!" he yelled. "I hate you! And I wish I never ever met you!"

True just ran off crying. Needless to say, Franklin and Stocking Head were very angry with Timmy indeed.

"Way to go, Timmy." groaned Franklin. "You've really blown it this time."

"But how would you feel if someone broke something that belonged to you?" asked Timmy.

"Yeah, I would feel pretty mad, but I would never say what you just said to True." replied Stocking Head. "You really hurt her feelings."

"Big time." added Franklin.

Sunny, who had been watching from her hiding place the whole time, felt guilty.

"I can't believe this happened again." she said. "This is the second time I've caused a problem for True. What am I going to do about this one?"

But then, her guilty expression changed into one of confidence.

"I'm going to tell them what really happened." she declared.

Sunny then emerged from her hiding place and went over to the boys.

"Guys, I need to tell you something." said Sunny.

"What is it?" asked Franklin.

Sunny then looked at Timmy.

"Timmy, True was telling the truth." she said. "She didn't break your plane. It was me."

Timmy was surprised.

"Really?" asked Timmy.

Sunny nodded, and then she told the boys how the incident really went down. Timmy was overcome with guilt as she finished telling her story.

"What was I thinking?!" he asked as he buried his face in his hands. "I should have listened to her! I'm a monster!"

"Hey, it's okay, man." Franklin said as he put his hand on Timmy's back. "It happens to everyone."

"Besides, I know True will understand." added Stocking Head. "Let's go find her."

Meanwhile, at Blue's house, Steve was mowing the lawn in the backyard. He was just mowing the grass around the clubhouse when he saw True huddled up in a corner and crying through one of the windows.

"Uh oh." he thought. "I better go check that out.

After turning off the mower, Steve went inside the clubhouse and over to True.

"True?" he called.

True heard Steve and looked up at him with watery eyes.

"Yes?" she sobbed.

"True, what's the matter?" Steve asked as he got down to True at eye level. "Why are you crying?"

True tearfully told Steve every detail about what had happened at the model airplane field, including Timmy's insulting outburst.

"Well, that was just mean." Steve said. "But, I'm sure he has probably seen the light by now and wants to apologize."

True nodded in agreement. Just then, the clubhouse door opened and in came Stocking Head, Franklin, Timmy, and Sunny.

"True, I have something to tell you." said Timmy. "I am very sorry I was so mean to you. I guess I was just so upset over what happened to the plane that I lost control, and Sunny told us what really happened. I'm very sorry."

True smiled even though there were still tears falling down her face.

"It's okay, Timmy." she said. "I forgive you."

"I'm sorry, too, True, for abandoning you like that." said Sunny. "I should've just stayed where I was."

"That's alright, Sunny." True giggled.

"Well, now that that's settled, how about we have our lunch now before the sandwiches and salad go bad?" asked Franklin. "I'm starving."

"Yeah, we might as well." said True.

With that, everyone took a seat at a table and began eating. In addition to Sunny's salad, Sun Chips, and Simply Lemonade and True's wrap, Fritos, and Simply Apple, the boys had gotten themselves the following; two Meatball Marinara subs with Parmesan cheese and no veggies or sauce on Italian bread with Cheetos and Simply Orange for Timmy and Stocking Head and a Veggie Delight with cucumbers, green peppers, lettuce, red onions, spinach, tomatoes, light mayonnaise, and seasoned with oregano on 9-grain wheat bread with Baked Lay's chips and a small Sprite for Franklin. All three sandwiches were 6-Inches, and in addition, they had each gotten a chocolate chip cookie. They had also brought the broken plane, which they gave to Steve, who just so happened to be a model plane enthusiast himself and a member of the local model airplane club, to see if he could fix it.

"By the way, Sunny, why did you abandon me like that?" asked True as she finished a bite of her wrap.

"Yeah, why did you?" asked Timmy.

"I was just afraid you would get mad at me, Timmy." said Sunny. "Because of how close we are."

"Oh, is that all?" asked Franklin.

"Yeah." replied Sunny. "And True, I'm sorry again for doing that."

"Hey, it's okay, Sunny." said True. "At least you owned up."

"That's right." said Stocking Head.

Just then, Steve entered the clubhouse. In his hand was Timmy's plane, which was showing no hints of it ever being broken, same with the controller.

"Good as new, Timmy." he announced. "I put some Gorilla Super Glue on the wings and put on a new propeller just like the other one, and I screwed the top portion of the controller back into place."

"Gee, thanks, Steve!" Timmy grinned.

"My pleasure." Steve winked.

Later that evening, True and Stocking Head told James and Moose about their day over lasagne.

"It really is a good thing you, Sunny, and Timmy made up." said James. "There's no telling what would happen if otherwise."

"Indeed." agreed Moose.

"Yeah." said True. "And, I think I want to get into model airplanes, too."

"Good idea." said James. "Lots of people are into that stuff. I think, since Steve is into it, he'll gladly show you the basics if you ask him."

"I'll be sure to do so." winked True.

As night fell, True felt very happy to have not only overcome another obstacle in her friendship, but also sow the seeds of a potential new hobby.

The End


 * When Sunny said how causing True to take the blame for wrecking Timmy's plane as "the second problem she's caused for her", she was referencing Episode 12, Club Chaos.
