[last lines]

Father:
Come on guys, get ready!

Laura:
What for? Is something wrong?

Father:
Oh, we thought perhaps you'd like to go to the countryside this weekend, to see our old house once more.

Laura:
[gasps in surprise and delight, but runs to window and looks outside] Oh!

Max:
[waves] Hi! Laura!

Laura:
Uh, but, Dad, can we choose another weekend to go out in the countryside?

Mother:
Why's that, then?

Laura:
We've only just got here, Mom. Our new home.

Tommy:
Home. [giggles cheerfully]

Laura:
[runs outside as ending theme "Touch the Sky" begins playing] Hey, Max!

[first lines]

Laura:
[sighs and presses against her bedroom window] Ugh. Mom, Dad, where's the apple tree?

Mother:
Oh, Laura, sweetheart. Has your spacecraft survived the move in one piece? And your flight? Come on, tell us a bit about it.

Laura:
Mm. It was all a bit much, if you don't mind me saying. During our landing, we drifted slightly off course, as you all know. Then I opened my curtains and hard a good look around, and what did I see? My lovely apple tree's not there, nor my friends. The meadow has also disappeared and the birdhouse, my seesaw, my flowers and my absolutely favorite place in the hill, and...

Tommy:
My Protect-Me-Dog!

Laura:
[to her toys] Don't worry. Tomorrow we're all gonna go back home. [points] See? Look. We'll need to follow that big, bright star up there. That's it. That'll take us home.

Laura:
[to the star] You're quire a way from home, aren't you? And you're a stranger around here and don't know anyone. Guess what. You're just like me. Really, quite like me.
