Boseman High School Shenanigans: Episode 1

At the School (Zach, Lily, Not-Rose and Wendy)

Lily stomps the gas and the van pulls away from the curb and Mr. Romero's still-spraying puke. There's a gut-wrenching BUMP BUMP as one of the back wheels drives over something or someone, making the whole van lurch and bounce. There's screaming from the Coach on the road as the teens tear through the parking lot, trying to escape!

Narrowly missing some parked cars, and both Romero and Levitt as they try to get in front of the van before it gets away, Lily corners sharply and exits the parking lot, tearing onto the main drag as the girls -- and Zach -- keep wrestling in the back.

Near the Woods on the Other Side of the Banks (Fred and Emily)

With the darkness closing in around them, Fred and Emily head into the woods, scared but supporting one another. They find the odd footprint here and there, but really the trail is easy to follow as the sound becomes more and more evident with each step they take. It's a thrumming, warbling buzz, just beyond their sense, but somehow the teens hear -- or perhaps feel -- it anyway.

And then they see it: broken tree limbs and downed trees. A huge furrow in the ground lit up by the moon. Something huge came in from the sky here and hit the ground hard. And there, ahead of them, a silvery, metallic shape, smooth and featureless, crashed into and hung up in the roots of a massive, uprooted tree. Is it disc like, or dome-like? Shaped like a tear drop, or perhaps an oval? It's difficult to tell, the eyes play tricks. The spaceship -- for that's what it has to be -- must be fifty feet long.
