*The scene opens with the group walking down a dirt path. Hayden is holding Lucy’s hand, and Riley is carrying Ryan, who has passed out from exhaustion, on his shoulder.*
Riley: So Lucy, how is school going for you?
Lucy: It's okay. It's really boring.
Ozzy: Ha, well unfortunately, that'll never change about school, no matter what grade you're in.
Hayden: Come on, Ozzy, don't say that. Don’t discourage her from getting an education.
Ozzy: You really think that’s gonna persuade her to not continue school? Some random stranger talking about how it's boring?
Hayden: Considering the fact that we're basically her guardians right now, and she's looking to us for help, maybe. And stop saying you're a stranger around her. She needs to see us as friends, not strangers.
Ozzy: Okay, whatever you say.
*Ryan raises his head.*
Ryan: Good luck with that. I'm sure she's already terrified of us thanks to Ozzy's outburst.
Isaiah: Hey, c’mon Ryan, don’t try to start anything right now. Just get some rest.
Bryce: Told you that genius plan wouldn’t work. We didn’t even make it five miles.
Ryan: Whatever. I’m feeling better now.
*Riley sets down Ryan who begins walking on his own.*
Ryan: And besides, I’m not starting anything, I'm just stating the facts. And I'm not saying it's only Ozzy she's scared of. She has a right to be scared of all of us, since she doesn’t know our stand abilities.
Isaiah: She's really young, and probably doesn’t know much about stands. She might just think everyone has one.
Zack: I bet she knows just as much as us. Bryce, you've got Mr. Know-It-All, right?
Bryce: Ever since you lost them again.
Zack: Whatever, just scan her with them and see what her stand really does.
Bryce: Yeah, yeah, I’ll scan her with Mr. Blow-It-All.
*Bryce adjusts the glasses on his face and looks at Lucy. He looks for the part that describes her stand.*
Bryce: Hey, Lucy.
Lucy: Yes?
Bryce: You know what a stand is, don’t you?
Lucy: I think so. It’s the thing in my music class the teacher puts the papers on.
Bryce: No, not that kind. You know that power you have? The one you used on the bus?
Lucy: Uh-huh. My parents told me I’m special, but I can't control it. It only works sometimes.
Bryce: Well that's what’s called a stand. In your case, that's only your stand ability. Stands usually appear as something you can see.
Lucy: What do you mean?
Bryce: Let’s stop walking for a sec. Ozzy, Ryan, Riley, and Isaiah, manifest your stands for Lucy to see.
*All of them manifest their stands, and so does Bryce. Lucy looks scared for a moment, and Bryce leans down to talk to her.*
Bryce: You don't have to be scared. These are our stands. We can control them, and they all have special abilities. They kinda look like people, right?
Lucy: But they're so creepy looking...
Bryce: Yeah, I guess they are. They don’t always look like people, though.
