pokey good at maths

“Oh, Ness, good evening,” said Pokey, as he turned around and gave Ness an
extremely warm-hearted smile. “I'm doing my math homework right now. Numerals
are great, I never thought arithmetic could be this interesting!”

Ness was dumbfounded. This was not Pokey. Sure, the face and the body were
Pokey, but...that polite, proper way of speaking was just bizarre. And most
importantly, the real Pokey would never be this enthusiastic about studying. When it
came to homework, he would always just threaten the other kids until they gave him
their notebooks and he'd copy it!

“...Who...who are you?” asked the very puzzled Ness. “...Are you another
Starman Junior?”

“You're so funny, Ness,” Pokey chuckled. “You go to see one meteorite, and
then it's all you can think about. Do you want to play ‘UFO’?”

<His eyes are completely out of focus...he's being controlled......he's the one!>
cried Buzz Buzz, as he flew around excitedly. <Ness! We've found him, it's Giygas! The
larval Giygas has taken this kid as his host!>
