Plot Summary
TJ discovers a movie poster for Señor Fusion 2: The Rise of the Purple Slime Monster and he walks right off to tell Vince, Mikey, Gretchen, Spinelli and Gus about it. He also tells his parents, Sam and Ellie about it, but they tell him that he won't be seeing it 'cause it's rated NK12 meaning no kid under 12 without a grownup or an older sibling. Later on back in school, TJ discovers Lawson and he tells him that he's gonna be the 1st in line to get tickets to see Señor Fusion 2: The Rise of the Purple Slime Monster and TJ says to him, "Oh yeah? we'll see about that, Lawson." TJ, Sam, Ellie and Becky are driving around on their way outside the movie globe and Ellie gives TJ crossword puzzle books. Sam, Ellie and Becky leave and TJ walks right up to the ticket salesman and tells him 1 ticket for a young kid way over 12 in which the ticket salesman gives him and TJ goes right in there and sees the film anyhow. Later on, right after seeing the film, TJ tells everybody all about it, but unfortunately, Sam, Ellie and Becky show up and they're not thrilled to notice that TJ had seen Señor Fusion 2: The Rise of the Purple Slime Monster and that he's in super big trouble. Back home at the DetWeiller family's house, TJ tells them that he wanted to see that movie just like everybody in Lowland Street and Sam tells him that he's grounded for another week and also tells him to forget about playing the Señor Fusion video game this weekend. TJ begs for him not to do this to him and Ellie tells him that his father's absolutely right and what he did wasn't a super good idea. Sam and Ellie turn right over to Becky and Sam says to her, "We're terribly sorry about your brother's behavior," and Ellie also says to her, "but what he did was unacceptable." Later on back at 3rd Street School, Gretchen asks TJ how the movie went and TJ tells her that it was super thrilling, but his parents grounded him from video game playing for another week which really whomps. Vince tells him that it reminds him of the time he saw Nitwitz III and his parents grounded him from television for another week. TJ decides to make it up to Sam, Ellie and Becky for seeing a movie that was rated NK12 and he wasn't supposed to see at his own age and when he does, he's ungrounded for entire life and can play the Señor Fusion video game on the Game-Stadium 5.
