ZOE: Guys! I finally went through my family's photographs

...look what I found!

JACE: Uh...what are we looking at?

ZOE: It's the Founder's Graveyard

TREVOR: Wait! Why have I never seen this before?!

...I mean, me and my buddies go drinking in the graveyard all the time after games

ZOE: That's because the headstones got washed away in the flood of 1938

TREVOR: Oh, that makes sense

BIANCA: So what's so special about the graveyard?

ZOE: According to my grand-mère...

TREVOR: Your what?

ZOE: My grandmother...

...dude, we're French

...just roll with it

...ANYWAY...

...According to my grand-mère, she remembers there always being only five headstones in the Founders' Graveyard.

...one ceremonial stone in front, and the five headstones in the back

PAIGE: And that's what we see here

BIANCA: Wait. I only see four headstones

TREVOR: No, there's a tiny one, right there, in the back

...it's probably my family's

...my forefathers were so effing cheap

PAIGE: Well, I went back to the Historical Society like I said I was going to 

...and I found some interesting stuff too

TREVOR: Someone's getting a little obsessed :-)

PAIGE: Not obsessed, Trevor

...just thorough :-)

BIANCA: Cool, what did you find?

PAIGE: So, here's a map of Main Street, dating back to 1896

PAIGE: From the town records, all the stores dedicated to the founders are accounted for

...Number 1 is Zoe's family's store, 2 is my great-great grandfather's, 3 is Jace's, 4 is Trevor's and 5 is Bianca's

ZOE: And the one on the end, with the question mark?

PAIGE: Those records are missing

JACE: What do you mean missing? 

PAIGE: There are physical records for every store but that one

...Mr. Reinhart said he hadn't realized they'd been missing until now

...and then when I asked him about the Arnolds

...he got really weird

BIANCA: NO! What did he say?

PAIGE: He said there was no good reason for us to be digging around trying to find out more about the Arnolds

...because they weren't a founding family

...so they were insignificant to the history of Keene

BIANCA: Oooh, this sounds like a cover up!

ZOE: God! I love a good conspiracy!

BIANCA: Me too!! ( ಠ ͜ʖರ)

TREVOR: Did you show Reinhart the photo? The one with the perfume shop?

PAIGE: I did 

...and he told me that he had to close up early and that I needed to go home

BIANCA: Oh yeah! Definitely a cover up! (¬‿¬) 

JACE: So wait let me get this straight 

...there's this family that we think is a founding family

...but the official story is that they're not

...why?

...why would he be lying to us about it?

PAIGE: I don't know...

JACE: Well, clearly there's more going on here than meets the eye

PAIGE: Yeah, I think so too

...we need to keep digging

*** Later That Night  in a Private Channel***

BIANCA: Hey Zoe! Sorry to bug you so late

ZOE: Don't worry about it

...what's up?

BIANCA: Soooo...I don't want to jump to any conclusions here

....but given that you're the president of the Gay-Straight Alliance

...and you organized the gay pride parade at homecoming 

...and I only ever see you hanging out with two girls who I'm pretty sure are gay

...you wouldn't happen to be, perhaps, I mean, by chance, a lesbian would you?

ZOE: LOL!

...it's a little more nuanced than that

...but for the sake of discussion, we'll say yes

...why do you ask?

...do you think you might be a lesbian too?

BIANCA: Me?!?

...oh, no...no, no, no!

...not that there's anything wrong with it, of course!

...no, I just really, REALLY like boys

ZOE: Okay...

...so then I ask again, why do you want to know?

BIANCA: I'm asking for my little brother actually

...I think he might be gay and he's really struggling with it

...my family is SUPER conservative

...and I want to help him out, but I don't know how

...because besides you, I don't think I know any gay people

ZOE: Oh, honey, you know gay people, trust me

...how old is your brother?

BIANCA: He'll be twelve in November

ZOE: Oh yeah, that's a tough age to be figuring all this stuff out

...too much going on

...too many mixed messages

BIANCA: Yeah, and whenever I try to talk to him, he just clams up

...he used to tell me everything!

ZOE: Well, I'd be happy to talk to him, but it's probably better if he talked to a guy

...I know some guys he can speak with, actually

...one's even the youth pastor at my parents' church

BIANCA: Really???

ZOE: Yeah, and I could give him their numbers

...in case he wants to talk to someone or ask questions

BIANCA: You would do that for me? 

ZOE: Sure...

... and here are some links to websites that might help him make sense of his feelings

BIANCA: Oh, thank you Zoe!!

ZOE: Ah, it's nothing

BIANCA: No really...

...I was getting really stressed out seeing how stressed HE was getting 

...you know what?

...you are beyond awesome!

 ..thank you again Zoe!!

...thanks so much!!!

ZOE: Seriously Bianca, it's...

BIANCA: It's what?

ZOE: Ugh! 

...I can't believe I'm doing this

...this is a first 

...and will most definitely be a last but...

...it's no problem  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Bianca: OMG! 

...skdjskdjskdjsksksk

...did you

...no!

...did you just send me an emoji?!?! 

 (✿'‿')  (✿'‿')  (✿'‿')

Zoe: Oh, Lord!

...I'm so regretting this now

Bianca: Zoe!

...you showed me emoji love! (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

Zoe: Seriously...

...I'm gonna vomit

...Okay, I'm logging off now

Bianca: So does this mean we're friends??

Zoe: I told you, I don't have friends

Bianca: Warm acquaintances then?

Zoe: Fine...

Bianca: That's awesome! 

...I'll take it!

...goodnight, Zoe!

Zoe: Goodnight B
