After Nathan gets into an argument with his younger cousin over a game of checkers, his mom reminds him that family members do not always get along—and sometimes a little space can help everyone cool down. That night, Peanut Butter Jim takes Nathan aboard the SS Shell Shock for a trip to Space Planet 9, where the Intergalactic Space Games tryouts are being held.
When they arrive, Nathan and PB Jim reunite with the space twins, Carol and Jerrol, who are preparing to compete in the two-person bike race. But after an argument leaves Jerrol stuck high in a tree, the race suddenly becomes the least of their worries.
In this stories for kids podcast episode, Nathan, PB Jim, and Carol rush to help Jerrol before the twins miss their race. But first, Carol and Jerrol will need to put aside their disagreement and find a way to work together again.
As Nathan watches the twins argue, make up, and reunite as a team, he learns that getting mad at someone you love does not mean you stop caring about them. Families can disagree, take some space, forgive each other, and still be a team.
