History

100 Things to Do Before High School

Mr. Martin is introduced in this episode. When CJ tells her parents Ronbie had negatively described high school to her, which ends up frightening her, Mr. and Mrs. Martin are angry and punish him.

Later, after she drops off CJ's signed gym release form at Pootatuck, she unknowingly drives CJ, Fenwick, and Crispo back to her home when they hide in it to avoid being caught by construction workers.

Start a Garage Band Thing!

Mrs. Martin is excited when she hears CJ and her friends are starting a garage band for Pootaroo, Pootatuck's music festival. She is inspired by this and wears outfits from her own band, which Mr. Martin was a groupie of, and wants to get the band back together for a reunion. The band's drummer is unable to make it, and Mr. Martin shows interest in taking her place, but he doesn't ask outright; instead, he drops hints that Ronbie picks up on, but Mrs. Martin does not since he had verbally declined playing in the band.

Later, Ronbie and CJ both tell her Mr. Martin wanted to join the band and when she asks him, he admits it, but thinks he would be an awful drummer. She tells them they would all be terrible, but they were doing it for fun.

Ronbie agrees to help them get in to the school to get CJ the retainer, saying he might have to break a few laws to do so. Mrs. Martin does not mind this, but Mr. Martin has a problem with it, as he did not want to do anything illegal.

The three get into the school and eat some of the turkey sandwiches and fall asleep. A commotion wakens them and Mr. Martin gets frightened and pushes Ronbie into a sheet that was used to play a movie, and the students see him from the windows and think he is a ghost. Mrs. Martin then agrees with her husband, saying she should not have let Hader upsetting her get to her head.

Adopt a Flour Baby Thing!

CJ asks Mrs. Martin for a pet guinea pig. Mrs. Martin will let CJ get one if CJ can take care of a bag of flour for twenty-four hours without destroying it and prove she is responsible enough to handle a mammal as a pet.

At the end of the following school day, CJ sacrifices her flour baby in order to save Fenwick from the teachers. Fenwick and Crispo try to fool Mrs. Martin into believing Crispo's flour baby was actually CJ's, but she sees through their lie and CJ tells her the truth. Because of what she did for her friend, Mrs. Martin decides to get her a guinea pig.

At home after purchasing the guinea pig, Mrs. Martin tries to take Fenwick's bag of chips and Crispo's flour baby so she can make cookies, but they refuse to let her.

While watching the news, CJ comes up with the idea to make a rocket for her project and they tell her that was a good idea.
