A Boy and a Zombie

We are Aliens!

Riley POV

Addie and I walked on stage, before the competition, to check the place out. Our eyes fell on the Seabrook Cup and we both gasped. "Hey, that's alien language!" I said, pointing to the cup. "The Seabrook Cup, of course! That's where my grandma hid the first half of the coordinates!" Addie exclaimed.

"Now, we just need to find what my grandpa thought was the most precious thing." I said, still thinking. "Well, was your grandpa passionate about anything?" Addie asked. "Not that I can think of." I answered.

"Don't worry we will figure it out." Addie assured, giving me a hug. When she did I felt electrify course through me and launch me back. "Woah! What the fuck was that?" Addie exclaimed, "Ry Ry, you okay?"

"I'm...good." I said, strained. "The same thing happened when I touched Zed this morning." I explained. "That means your alien powers are getting stronger!" I said, happy for her. "Really? I guess they took longer to affect us." Addie said.

Wyatt POV

As Willa, Wynter, and I walked into the auditorium, we saw Bucky with one of the lenses that the aliens held us to us earlier.

"What do we have here?" He said, as it flashed. "What do we have here?" He repeated, as the lens flashed again. "What do we have here?" Willa and I shared a confused look.

"Now, remember. This priceless thingy is mine! So tell me what it is! Now! Now! Now!" Bucky said, as I held the lens. "So catty. Clearly not raised by wolves." Wynter said.

"I bet I'm the first intern to ever hack alien tech." Eliza said, as she typed away. "It's a firewall." She said.

"Let me try my moonstone." I said, holding close to the lens. "It worked!" Said Eliza, "It's a...mind probe."

We looked at the lens as it displayed memories of Bucky. "Look at all those people who think of me!" Bucky said, pointing at the lens. "That's just your mind scan, Bucky." Eliza replied.

Then Wynter's mind scans showed up on the lens. "Aww, Wynter. You like cat videos." I said, teasingly.

"Everyone likes kittens." She responded.

"Okay, let's see your memories, Wyatt." Eliza said. "Wait! Wait! No, y'all don't need to know what I remember!" I said, covering the lens with my hand.

"oh, Oh, OH, no. Yeah, nevermind. I see why you don't want anyone seeing that." Eliza said, switching to Willa's memories.

"Hey, how come a lot of your memories are of A-Spen?" Eliza asked, as Willa turned bright red. "Uh, I, err, c-cause I'm thinking about how much I...want them off the planet!" Willa stuttered. "Suuuure." Wynter said.

"Enough with the memories! Just tell us what the aliens are up to!" Willa ordered. Eliza swapped to one of the aliens memories. "You must find those precious things." Two aliens said in the memory.

"The aliens lied about their mission!" Wynter exclaimed. "We knew they were shady all along." Willa said, "Who knows what else they're lying to us about? Bucky, alert the Z-Patrol,".

"Help! Help! Z-Patrol, we need help!" Bucky ran away screaming.

Zed POV

As the Eels finished their cheer session, I felt my phone buzz. I pulled it out and held it up to my ear, covering my other ear with my free hand. "Hello, this is Zed Necrodopolis." I said, "Yes? I gotta take this. I love you." I told Riley and my family, as I walked to a quieter area.
