Tom Thomas plays astronauts with the Fixies. A tube of toothpaste serves as make-believe astronauts’ food. Suddenly, their parents enter and tell them that this toothpaste is a part of a scientific experiment. Tom Thomas’ dad needs to regularly brush his teeth with it while Mom monitors the results. Tom Thomas really wants to take part in the experiment but his mom says that he is still lacking responsibility for such a serious task: he doesn’t clean up his room, and the plant on his windowsill is wilting. Tom Thomas is completely intrigued by the mysterious toothpaste, but the Fixies, who view science as the most important thing, don’t let him even touch it. Tom Thomas keeps trying to get some of the toothpaste with a multitude of comical attempts, but the Fixies catch him each time. Finally, Tom Thomas cleans up his room, waters the plant and asks his parents to entrust him with participation in the scientific experiment. The parents agree. In private Tom Thomas’ parents are proud of their scheme to trick Tom Thomas into acting more responsibly. The Fixies hear this but decide not to tell Tom Thomas anything because it wouldn’t be right to interrupt the experiment!
