Plot
The story centers around Bill Brilliant. At 4yo, he and his family had to migrate to Michigan, USA because of a war between their home planet, Planet Blue and another planet, Planet Red.

Bill gets bullied for his last name and blue skin in his first day of school. The bully, Paul (James Rallison), later comes to the Brilliants' house to apologize, and soon he and Bill become friends.

In his second day of school, he discovers that Frederick "Fangs" (Nathan Spies), a child from Planet Red, has moved into his school and is famous because of his different skin color. Fangs later bullies Bill, calling him a peabrain. Paul thinks this is unfair, since "he's the only one who is allowed to call Bill one." He punches Frederick in the face and tells him to stay away from Bill because he isn't ready for what will happen next.

The principal, Mr. Freshwater, finds Fangs and Paul and gives them detention. In the detention room, Bill and Fangs are given a 12-page assignment by Mr. Freshwater for them to read. Bill refuses to do so and starts crying, then Fangs calls him a crybaby. He gives Bill some "malicious" (in Bill's words) advice. During the last 15 minutes, Fang and Bill race to be the first one to finish the assignment, and Bill wins. Fangs takes his assignment and gives his own assignment to Bill, which has terrible work on it. Just then, Mr. Freshwater announces that detention is over and it's time to give him the boys' assignments. Bill tries to explain that Fangs stole his assignment, but Mr. Freshwater doesn't believe him, and Bill gets 2 more hours of detention. Bill continued being humiliated by Fangs, and that led to some of his most embarrassing memories.
