This story takes place in the year 2008. Nicholas may have been in at least one promo for the Sprout network, but he's not a professional actor, like most of his neighbors, despite them being on TV, too. Now, Nicholas was a huge fan of the TV show Indy, which features the totular alien-like-girl and her robot sidekick Wco (pronounced "Wicko") going to different places with the viewers' help. In the last season, a segment was added in which Wco would talk to kids about the episode's topic. One day, his mom got a call from the show's production team, asking her if he wanted to be on it, he said yes, and before he knew it, he was filming a segment in which he and Wco were talking about zoo animals (for it was an episode about the zoo) and the day it aired, almost everyone in the Hills went into the Sprout Diner to see it, aweing at seeing one of their neighbors on the small screen (on a network other than theirs, of course).
