The aliens were beamed down from their ship. 

"A-Lan, did you remember your midday rations?" Mothership asked. 

"Yes, mothership." A-Lan answered. 

"A-Li, did you remember your thermal overgarment?" Mothership asked. 

"Yes, Mothership." A-Li answered. 

"A-Lin, did you remember your Luma Lens?" Mothership asked.

"Yes, Mothership." A-Lin/Emily answered. 

"And A-Spen, don't forget your mission to find the interstellar map to our new home planet." Mothership said. 

"Mothership. Shh. Secret mission." A-Spen said. 

"Okay. No need to bite your mothership's head off." Mothership said. The aliens walked to the school. 

"I hope you take this opportunity to learn from our advanced intelligence." A-Li said. A-Li tried to push the door open. 

"Let me." A-Lin/Emily said. She opened the door. The aliens walked inside. 


Addison was outside Zeds house. Zed walked out of his house. 

"Yo." Zed said. 

"Hi. Aren't the aliens amazing? they have a non-hierarchical approach to leadership. They're a fashion-forward, peaceful people." Addison said. 

"Okay, well, they did kind of blow up Seabrook, right?" Zed asked. 

"Well, it was an accident, Zed. I mean, just imagine the courage needed to come to a new planet. I mean, I'm just nervous about going away to college alone. Well, not alone. With you." Addison said. 

"Right. I am so getting into Mountain College, and we are going to be together forever." Zed said.

It's you and me

For the rest of our lives together

We're not breaking up, we're not falling out

We won't change (I hope)

Addison

We're not worried

Definitely not worried (At All)

Addison

So disturbing

How all of these stars align 

Zed

We're not nervous

We're totally unconcerned with
