He has been gone for many months, and Meg had almost lost hope that her Dad would come back, until these three star ladies told her that they would help. They took Calvin along with them and transported to first the planet Uriel, where the star ladies gave them these flowers, in which they stick their noses into when they transport as the atmosphere gets thinner so they can breathe. After they go to Uriel, the star ladies almost transport them to Mars, but they remember that it is a two dimensional planet and the flowers are not strong enough for them to breathe through. After that big mistake, they finally land on, Camazotz, the planet where their Dad is trapped on. When they get there, they realize that everything is the same, and that everything runs on a certain beat, the girls jump ropes, the boy's bouncing balls, even the Mom's when they come to get their kids are on the same beat.
