He always smells like peanut butter because, he only eats peanut butter sandwiches. Jeremy is very interested in science and especially time travel, he wants to learn how to time travel so he could go back in time and stopped his dad from being killed by a drunk driver. One of Jeremy’s hobbies is collecting “mutant” candy, he likes to collect candy that is deformed when it was made at the factory. He has a starburst that is 2 colors and a m&m that is the size of your finger and so on.

Lizzy accompanies Jeremy on his journey to find the keys, she is the brain of the operation.
