Eric and Dr. Reeper both used to be friends with each other and have an interest in science and the universe. However, Eric uses his science to do good while Dr. Reeper uses it to do bad.
It was for Eric. The next day at school George was visited by Dr. Reeper at his desk. He asked George if he had seen Eric lately. George lied and said yes. At the end of school George looked in the trash can. Earlier, the principal had made him throw away the space rock. But when George looked, it was gone.
