Plot
After destroying a series of asteroids that threaten to collide with Earth, Jenny returns home, bringing with her a dust that severely alters the characteristics of her close friends. Brad becomes afraid of everything (literally everything), Sheldon becomes an aggressive ape-like being that hates flowers (and becomes attracted to a lady wearing French attire), Tuck starts to constantly flatulate, to the point of becoming a balloon filled with his own gas, and Dr. Wakeman becomes very idiotic and goofy. It turns out the dust from the asteroid contained several bacteria-like aliens that used the bodies of Jenny's friends’ as a home because their old ones were destroyed. When the microbe aliens rearranged the neurons in her friends’ brains so they could move in, their personalities were severely altered. When Jenny brings back a meteorite for the microbe-like aliens to move back into, her friends return back to normal.
