Going back in time

Plot Summary
[]

Dr. Strangesnork and his pet catfish Finneus plan to attack Dr. Gallio's lab one afternoon. In the meantime, Tooter and Occy are helping Gallio work on his latest invention. Strangesnork flies into his lab, and after barging in, the two argue over who their mother liked the best and blaming the entire science fair on the strains in their relationship. Strangesnork says that if Gallio hadn't stolen his Goofy Glue idea when they were kids, he would've won the local science fair. Strangesnork then flashes back to elementary school, when he was the good student and Gallio was the rebel. In said flashback, Gallio decides to enter the science fair, but not without stealing his Goofy Glue first. Gallio then says his flashback was twisted, and that the real flashback shows Strangesnork being the troublemaker and Gallio being the shy and quiet type. Gallio did, however, idolize Strangesnork, and entered the science fair with his "goofy glue" so he could be like him. Turns out Strangesnork's invention was a bust, and Gallio's glue ends up winning him the science fair.

The two argue over it once more, so Gallio decides to prove to his brother that his flashback is indeed the correct one, and that he really did win the science fair with the glue HE invented in the first place. They all step into the time machine, where they see each other as kids again. Strangesnork, however, decides to change the past and not only gives his younger self a pep talk, but also tell the principal to NOT talk to Gallio. Gallio decides to give his younger selves a pep talk to make sure the furture doesn't change as a result of the past changing. Chaos ensures at the fair, but Gallio not only wins the fair, but a manufacturer coems by and has him sign a cotnract so that he can sell the glue. When they return to present time, Strangesnork sees a "Snorkland Hero" ribbon, and says that's soemthing he'll never be able to forget.
