Z-O-M-B-I-E-S

As I understand it (from the first movie until) ...Addison is descended from aliens, so I was always wondering, when would this world present itself to her? 

- I don't even remember when I made this story, but it was a little before (or after) the second movie was released

                    The week of Valentine's Day, Addison is welcoming a new student, an exchange student. A girl with unusually shiny skin... and light pink hair. Ciana has dark olive skin and blue eyes. Quite detachable. Ciana was being guided by Addison on a tour of the school. The girl insisted on it. 

        On the other side, Bucky who was still in school, again surrounded by his subordinates who asked if that year, he would have someone special this year.

       Addison talks to Ciana and talks about the cheerleading squad, asking if the girl would be interested in joining. Ciana jokes about the situation, but claims to have some talent, so she climbs a short wall doing some flips.

       Bucky says there's no one who can match him, and that if he ever wants someone, it should be a girl as good as he is. Extraordinary

       As the boy lists the qualities he expects to see, and the girls in his little group start to perk up thinking that this could be one of them, Ciana is doing a sequence of jumps that she finishes, landing on the floor with one foot in the wall. That was the moment she was seen by him.    The atmosphere was bright, stars were dancing between them, or in Buck's imagination.    Ciana felt someone watching her and turned her head back. She saw Bucky but didn't seem receptive to him.          The boy came out of his trance and hurried to approach the girl. Ciana had gone back to talking to Addison when Bucky stepped in and introduced himself. Ciana didn't pay attention, tried to keep talking to Addison, but Bucky again intruded offering to continue the tour, not giving the girl a chance to refuse, especially since Addison also said he had other things to do.

       Bucky took Ciana inside the school, but although the point was to show the place, the girl noticed how the boy always brought the subject back to him, bragging about being the chairman of the board, showing the trophies he won... made the girl more bored. Bucky saw this as fatigue and quickly suggested some water, the girl barely had time to respond and the other had already sent the subordinates to fetch it. Ciana stood there watching as the other three ran and came back with glasses of water in their hands, saw Bucky drink first and remind the others to give her a glass too. And she was speechless when Buck asked the trio to make a bench for her to sit on. Ciana asked Bucky if they always did everything he said. The boy started to brag about it, not listening when the girl called the others brainless slaves.

       Meanwhile, Zed was getting ready to officially ask Addison to be his girlfriend. After all the trouble they'd been through before, he wanted to make sure that this time it was all right. His first plan was to invite Addison to the fair that was going to take place in town. And what was the surprise when, as soon as he approached her, besides the fact that she was busy organizing the team, he saw the new girl there with her. Ciana had managed to get away from Bucky and went after Addison, she kept up a conversation insinuating that she was too shy with her new surroundings... and Bucky was too agitated for her.

       Zed approached the two and watched Ciana. Obviously he was immediately suspicious of her, new year, news, new threat. Possibly. Addison was about to introduce his new friend, when Bucky walked into the gym, excited to have found her. He stepped up to Ciana's side and greeted Zed, introduced her while discreetly (or not) insinuating that Ciana was exceptional...and that he'd already laid eyes on her. Even Ciana caught the hint. Zed put the awkward situation aside, and spoke to Addison about the fair, inviting her right away. While Addison wanted to say yes but was thinking about everything she had to do, Bucky ended up answering for her, inviting himself to the day and suggesting (or rather saying) that Ciana go too, with the excuse that she should know the rest of the city. Addison found herself compelled to say yes to the invitation, when everyone else on the team also seemed excited to go.
