Beth~

(opening scene...Stella and Justin walking in the forest...oh yeah, “aimlessly”.)

Bob- Okay, this is the one where NOTHING bad happens to Justin or Stella. It all turns out okay. Damn.

Justin- Stella? Can I ask you a question?

Stella- Shoot.

Justin- Okay...

Bob- He takes a big deep breath...

Stella- Yes?

Justin- It’s really hard to say...

Stella- It’s all right. Just tell me what’s on your mind.

Justin- Okay. Stella, will you----

Bob- CRASH! BOOM! A disturbingly loud noise suddenly arose interrupting Justin’s question.

Stella- What was that?

Justin- I don’t know, let’s go have a look.

Stella- Justin, I...I’m scared.

Justin- Don’t worry! I’ll protect you!

Stella- Those aren’t very reassuring words, honey.

Bob- Justin takes Stella’s hand as they go to investigate. As they enter into a clearing...

Stella- Oh my God!

Justin- Holy @$&#!

Bob- They saw a very demolished very ugly green...spaceship. Then, they heard voices coming from inside. Suddenly, a hatch door is brutally kicked open.

KT- I told you those Blueberry Ripple with-a-twist ice-cream popsicles would be trouble! You threw the sticks into the engine compartment hatch instead of the trashcan! I knew we should have left the little weasel at home, but does anyone listen to me? No, No, NO!

Abigail- Calm down. Remember your ulcer.

KT- Why the @%$* do you think I even have one?!?! It’s because of him.

Bob- She points to a scrawny little figure stumbling out of the ship, covered with Blueberry Ripple with-a-twist ice cream.

John Paul- I said I was sorry!

KT- That’s not good enough! Now we are stuck in some Earth forest, who knows where, and we won’t be able to find who stole the----

Abigail- Um, we shouldn’t talk about you know what here.

Bob- John Paul acknowledges Stella and Justin.

John Paul- Hi! Who are you?

Stella- My name is Stella. This is my...this is Justin.

John Paul- Wow! Your very own Justin. What exactly does a Justin do?

KT- Oh, here we go.

Bob- Katie slaps John Paul upside the head. Hard. This, however painful, he has adapted to quite well, and it doesn’t phase him a bit. He keeps on staring intently at Stella, waiting to find out exactly what a Justin does.

Stella- No no no. This is my...good friend who’s name is Justin. He doesn’t belong to me.

Bob- John Paul is clearly disappointed by this answer. Katie perks up when she sees John Paul uncontent. Then, Stella adds under her breath...

Stella- Although I wish he did.

Justin- What?

Stella- Nothing. Do you guys, by chance, need any help getting back to where you came from? Where do you come from?

John Paul- We came from our home planet. It’s really really really pretty there!

KT- Oh please.

Bob- John Paul seems to be in a daze.

John Paul- Ever so pretty...

Abigail- Our species are what you could call, “cousins” to humans. We are very similar. Except for certain...small...differences.

Justin- What differences?

Abigail- Well...

Bob- Abigail looks toward Katie for help. She just shrugs and uncomfortably glances at John Paul, who is quietly entertaining himself with a ladybug.

KT- Our anatomy is...slightly different.

Bob- John Paul snaps back into reality to reveal the gruesome secrets. Building up tremendous momentum as he goes along.

John Paul- Yeah! See, see, we don’t have (someone puking in background)! And sometimes we ( a bloodcurdling scream in background)! Which is really ( a heard of elephants stampedes in background)! And THEN (A semi-automatic is fired in background)!

Bob- Katie and Abigail were afraid of this. Jeez, that was sick!

Justin- Gross!

Stella- I think I’m going to faint!

Bob- After Stella and Justin recovered a little, and after Katie gave John Paul some strong sedatives, they continued with the explanation.

KT- We are more advanced in our technology, a few hundred years superior to you.

Abigail- After our people visited Earth and (she coughs) uh...disguised themselves as humans, you adopted many of our ways of life. Such as our language and the way we dress.

KT- And don’t be fooled by some. The only reason Bill Gates is so rich is because he got hold of our ancient records of primitive computers.

Stella- Well, that makes sense.

Justin- Yup.

Stella- So, are you guys hungry?

KT- Yes! Little food processor boy over there ate all our supplies. Where are we exactly?

Stella- Well, right now your in my, small, hometown of Winfield.

Bob- Abigail and Katie quickly wakened John Paul somehow, who was napping peacefully on a soft patch of grass. This killed Katie to do because this was a rarity to have such freedom. Then, Stella and Justin (hand-in-hand) led the otherworlders to Stella’s house where they took a short refuge.

Stella- Here we are.

Justin- Home-sweet-Home.

Bob- Stella shot Justin a glance and smiled. Okay, yeah, sure, this is so sweet. It makes me want to throwup. It’s a Valentine issue, but ‘c mon! Cut all the lovey-dovey crap already!

John Paul- Are you two in love?

Bob- Stella goes wide-eyed in embarrassment and Justin snickers to himself. This time, both Katie and Abigail hit him, and this time it hurt. Bad. Ever so bad.

John Paul- OOOWWW---EEE!!!

Bob- He cowers on the floor.

Stella- Oh! Don’t worry about it! He meant no harm.

KT-Ya gotta keep ‘em in line when their young. Besides, he’s our little brother.

Abigail- But don’t forget that four clinically proven test have shone that he is extra extra hyper-active and if he isn’t delt with now, he could turn out to be...something really bad.

Justin- Like what?

KT- (Jumbo-jet plane landing in background).

Stella- Oh.

Justin- Gotcha.

KT- But don’t worry. He’ll turn out all right. Man, you should have seen him a month ago!

Stella- You mean, he’s been worse?

Abigail- Yup.

Justin- Poor kid.

KT- Don’t worry. When he’s older he probably won’t remember anything that happened in this period of time. I can only wonder what goes on in his head.

Abigail- And sometimes, usually right after e wakes up, he seems...

KT- Normal.

Stella- That’s good. How do you all feel about hamburgers?

John Paul- I--I’d--d l--like--ke s-some p-pleas-se.

Bob- They all gasp.

KT- Breakthrough.

Abigail- Definitely.

KT- Log it in the record book. There’s hope.

Bob- After they were all done eating, John Paul was back to his old self, and Stella went to go check her e-mail. KT and Abigail went back to the spaceship to retrieve valuable things and hide the craft. This left the “boys” of the posse all alone at the kitchen table. Da da dum.

Justin- So, John Paul, what’s up?

John Paul- What?

Justin- What’s going on?

John Paul- Why?

Justin- I don’t know. I was just asking.

John Paul- So was I.

Justin- So were you what?

John Paul- I don’t know. How ‘bout you?

Justin- Your talking gibberish.

John Paul- What’s gibberish?

Justin- Well...I...

John Paul- You're a strange human.

Bob- Justin sighs, knowing he’s lost the battle.

Justin- Do you want some ice cream?

John Paul- Blueberry Ripple with-a-twist?!?!?!?!

Justin- Well, yup, we have that.

Bob- As Justin dishes out the delicious ice cream, John Paul squirms in his chair with excitement.

Justin- Calm down. Here you go.

John Paul- MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!

Justin- Okay---- try to keep it on the spoon... In your mouth---- here----there you go. Now, no no! Not on the floor. Ahh! Stella’s going to love this mess!

John Paul- Just as much as she loves you!

Bob- Well, obviously, where there’s Blueberry Ripple, there’s John Paul.

John Paul- With-a-twist!

Bob- Yeah, yeah. This little conflict went on for awhile until Stella found them both in the kitchen, with a mess too great to describe. Stella and Justin thought they could keep him content by watching a movie. Of course, they didn’t know what he would watch, so, they just turned to TV on for him. Then, they went back into the kitchen to clean up.

Justin- he got it in my hair!

Stella- Aww, poor baby. Here, I’ll get it off.

Bob- As Stella got a rag to wipe of the ice cream, Justin took her hand in his, stopping her.

Justin- I think we’re alone now.

Bob- Stella breaks into an annoying Beatles song.

Stella-”There doesn’t seem to be anyone aro-ound!”

Bob- he annoyingly pushes her hand away.

Justin- Funny. Real funny. I’ll go check on the squirt.

Bob- Justin walks in to find John Paul asleep on the couch.

Justin- Stella! Come look at this.

Bob- Stella comes.

Stella- How cute. Wait...look what he’s been watching!

Bob- Justin turns to the TV and finds it’s on AMC. It was just the ending of the famous movie, A Streetcar Named Desire with Marlon Brando. All of a sudden...

John Paul- SSSTTTEEELLLAAA!!!

Bob- Abigail and Katie arrived to their temporary home. They were very tired. After John Paul’s vivid dream subsided, Stella and Justin had made up beds for their visitors. When all but Stella and Justin went to sleep, they went to Stella’s computer and sat.

Justin- So? Any e-mail?

Stella- Yeah, one from Katie in California. And one form Chris in Orlando. He said that he stole your Mercedes and drove it over a cliff.

Justin- I wish he’d gone down with it.

Bob- There is an akward pause as they both stare into the glowing computer screen.

Stella- Justin, what were you going to ask me earlier today?

Justin- I was going to ask if, if...

Stella- If what?

Justin- If---

Bob- Justin leaned forward and clung to Stella’s hand. He looked deep into her eye’s. He kissed her and she kissed him back. Suddenly, a loud clatter arose. Breaking the spell.

KT- For God’s sake! Use the @$&#ing bathroom, will you?

John Paul- Ooopppssseeeyyy! Sorry.

Bob- Stella and Justin laughed. Then, Stella logged on to the Internet. She had a lot to tell Katie in California. She was looking forward to tomorrow.
