Wires Crossed

To blend in, Zoey and Kiki start attending Amber’s school – and find it nothing like school on Lumina. In a desperate attempt to contact home, Zoey devises a plan using “primitive” Earth technology.

But when dogs start flooding the school, Amber suspects Zoey and Kiki are behind it – canines can hear the signal. When Piper turns up on the scene as well, Amber takes the only chance she can – before Luca and Mr. Phillips find out the real reason behind the dog deluge.

Good Vibrations

Quadrupeds (horses) fascinate Kiki and when she finds out that Luca’s horse Bandit has been skittish and dangerous to ride ever since they arrived, she feels terrible. Secretly using her alien powers, Kiki reads Bandit’s aura and calms his energy, just in time for Luca to see that Kiki and Bandit now have a special bond. But when Kiki accidentally takes Bandit on a magical ride, she’ll need to tread carefully to convince Luca and Brandon that Bandit is no danger – and still keep her secret. While Kiki is connecting with quadrupeds, Zoey tries to connect with the white goods in Amber’s house – if humans can do housework, aliens could do it twice as fast, and better too! But Zoey will have a lot of explaining to do when Amber returns home to a house full of rampaging appliances

When Kiki arrives for the date, Luca is surprised to see what, or who, she brought along. Amber?! Luca is certain that Amber is jealous – and there to spoil the fun. But when Kiki experiences the depth of her feelings for Luca, she starts glowing uncontrollably – and Amber will have to bring the date to an end. Fast. Will Luca buy her excuses?
