When I was born on my home planet, I was born into the royal family. And then, my home was under disarray for years. Several years it was under disarray. And then, my planet was taken over by my parent's best friend. And in the midst of their coup d'état, my grandmother and grandfather got a spaceship and took us away. And then, we landed on this planet. I was given a mask to hide my alien form, and now here I am.

Strolling with Milo Murphy, Melissa Chase, and Zack Underwood towards an old barn. Apparently, this barn was owned by Zack's grandfather, and he needed us to... I guess repaint the barn I guess. I stared at the barn before us carrying a couple bales of a red paint. Melissa had texted me that this is what we would be doing for the afternoon, so I put on some overalls (the only thing of overalls that I own) and came rushing over to her house.

The mall was fun by the way. We lost Zack and Milo for a couple hours (a fun thirty minutea in the arcade turned into two hours of the pair of them ending up underground, in a whale's stomach, and finally running on a support beam that would ultimate crash into the arcade. My new friends were different. But it was a good different.

But now, I was marching up to Zack's grandfather's house. I saw Melissa who waved at me, and I skipped over to her. Zack was there also, and he looked like he was about to laugh. I sent him a warning look, and he backed off.

"So, are we really painting a barn or some other kind shit?" I asked them.

"We're painting a barn. We all brought paint and Zack's granddad has some brushes for us to use." Melissa explained.

"Good. I brought the paint tape. For it to not get on anything else. So, how're we doing this?" I asked them.

"You and Milo are going to paint the second floor while me and Zack  paint the first floor. And be nice." she gave me a warning, pointed look.

I guess it wasn't a secret that I didn't really like Milo. But I had to pretend I did. Because Melissa was my friend and she welcomed me into her friend group. Which meant I had two additional friends. I shouldn't be complaining about that, but I guess I am. I sighed to myself and nodded at her.

"Where is the walking disaster?" I asked them.

"Already in the barn. Painting." Oh. This won't be good.

I nodded and walked into the barn. I saw him painting on a platform above an open pen. And I also saw the crack in the platform.

"Milo!" I shouted at him.

"Yes, [Y/N]?" he asked, completely focused on his painting task.

"Look out!" I warned him.

"Look out for WHAT?!" It was too late.

The platform crumbled and he fell on the ground. Not before falling on top of me.
