Synopsis for "Election au Go Go"

The faculty at Laurel high is on the warpath punishing the teens for every little infraction. Their patience is short in supply and everything the students do seems to irritate them. Scooter and his friends hold a discussion about their predicament while they are all serving after school detention. Sylvester then comes up with the wild idea to hold a faculty popularity contest. The intent being to nominate the most irritating teachers in an effort to change their personality from mean to nice. The plan is immediately implemented and the students soon begin to campaign for their favorite mean teacher. The faculty sees the teens campaigning near the school and they are bewildered at first but they quickly buy into the idea. The faculty members soon begin to garner votes to win the popularity contest by being as nice as they can be. They promise everything from time off to no homework or tests to garnish votes for themselves. The students enjoy the new and improved attitudes from their teachers. The Principal Major Orpheus Otis soon notices the events that have transpired. He gives the faculty a tongue lashing for falling for such an obvious ploy. He tells them that the students are obviously flattering them so they'll forget all of their past infractions. The principal then sees Scooter riding up in a bicycle carrying a Major Orpheus Otis sign. The Principal is immediately flattered especially when he is declared the winner of the popularity contest. Unfortunately things return back to normal once the contest is over the the faculty is back to their usual mean selves.

Synopsis for "I Was A Teenage Martian's Bride -- (Almost!)"

Scooter and the gang are enjoying an afternoon at the pool when a group of Martians suddenly land with their spaceship. They announce their intent to conquer all earthlings but the teenagers have a hard time believing they these creatures are real Martians. They demonstrate their powerful ray guns to prove their story but the teens remain skeptical. The Martians then shoot Jenkins the butler with an anti-gravity gun and the teens jump into action. They shove the Martians into the pool and run to the police station to report their arrival. The police sergeant scoffs at their story and kicks them out. They head back to Scooters house but they suddenly run into the Martians once more. They attempt to apprehend the strange creatures but they use their powerful ray guns on them to keep the teens at bay. At one point, a Marian spots Cynthia and immediately falls in love with her. He professes his love for Cynthia and promises her anything that she might want. The other Marians comment that this particular alien falls in love with a female on every planet that they conquer. Cynthia holds the Martian to his promise and instructs him to leave planet Earth. The Martian and his friends are bound to honor their promise and they immediately leave in their spaceship. Scooter humorously remarks that they are lucky that the aliens had bad taste.
