Dexter jumps on and asks Douglas if he's ready for the test. Douglas says yes and shows Dexter his suitcase with his name carved and a symbol on it. He opens the case and reveals a small number 2 pencil. Dexter is stunned that Douglas's pencil survived a lot of tests. Dexter and Douglas laugh until a paper airplane lands in Dexter's hair, he turns around and something gooey lands on his glasses. He finds out that it was Vecky who shot the gooey stuff using a straw. Dexter gets mad, then Vecky and Glen start to harass him until Glen throws his pencil to the back of the bus.
