14 ☼ VIDEO

[Jessica is at Hudson River Park, sitting on the grass facing the Hudson and New Jersey. Beside her is Laura's still-to-be-named puppy, pouncing on a leaf blowing across the lawn.]

Brrr! It's gotten so cold all of a sudden. I can't believe it's autumn already! Before you know it, it'll be Halloween! And then Thanksgiving!

[She pats the ground and the puppy comes bounding back to her.]

Anyway, who all is going to the charity ball this weekend? I'm planning a shopping trip tomorrow after school if anyone wants to join me!

[This next part is purposely not filtered at all.]

Oh yeah! Hey, Text Guy! Hey!

[A pause.]

Jason. Yoohoo!

[She gives her most charming grin.]

Like, I know you think you're being super stealthy and stuff, but I've seen you creeping around the school. I saw you yesterday and I saw you again today, so don't try to deny it. What's the big idea? Why're you acting like such a weirdo? I know you're trying to be all scary and stuff, but sneaking around in broad daylight is not the way to do it. People are just gonna think you're a crazy stalker or something.

No, no! The language!

Oh.

Is it widely spoken, though?

It is in Germany.

I'm not familiar with many of these places. They don't exist in my world.

That's okay. Where I'm from doesn't exist here.

Where are you from?

Sweet Valley, California. You?

I was living in Lebleux. Sometimes, at least. [ a sigh. ]

What's Lebleux?

It's the city where I lived. It's also the capital of [ country name?? WOW CANON DOESN'T TELL ].

Where's that? Europe?

I've no idea. I said the names were unfamiliar to me.

You mean nothing's the same at all?

Probably not. I'd never heard of an America until I was brought here.

Whoa... are you... an alien?

Wha-- where are you getting that idea?!

Well, you don't recognize any of the places here... Maybe you're not from Earth.

I am from Earth!

Does it look the same on a map?

I haven't looked at a map yet.

A map would solve all our problems!

Maybe... but I'm not an alien. I'm human!

Were you always a human?

Yes! [ he sounds a little offended now. ] Stop asking such silly questions.

Oh. That's good.

There's lots of people who aren't, you know. They're actually robots and crab-beasts and dinosaurs and stuff.
