THE NECRODOPOLIS FAMILY AND ADDISON WENT INSIDE THE HOUSE. Zevon entered the room with a pot spilling out a green slimy drink.

"We found both of your applications persuasive" Mrs. Crabtree opened up her binder.

"Well, I'm just doing my zom-best."Zed laughed jokingly. "Zombie best."

Mrs. Crabtree grimaced in disgust as Zevon poured her a cup. "Uh, our biggest concern is that you could turn into a monster at any time."

"Yes. I am a monster, but completely safe. Zombie eating brains?" He chuckled. "Thing of the past."

Mrs. Crabtree laughed awkwardly. "Zed can control his "zombie-ing" out."

Addison touch Zed's shoulder as a volt of electricity burst out.

"Look at that! We have electricity."

"I must have rubbed my foot on the carpet." Addison stated.

"Despite being a zombie, how would you positively impact Mountain College?" Mrs. Crabtree continued with the interview.

"Despite?" Addison in annoyance

"Uh, that is a fair question. Um, you know, I think what I bring to the table is the - " Addison holds Zed's hand as the same spark of electricity came and his Z-band shorted out causing his zombie to come out

"You okay there?" Mrs. Crabtree asked in fear.

"Yeah! No. I'm great. Just give me a second to - I just need to use the restroom real quick." Zed said, rushing into the kitchen as Addison went after him.

"Ms. Mackenzie Necrodopolis, while we wait on your brother. Why don't we get your interview started?" Mrs. Crabtree asked.

Kenzie was paying attention to what Mrs. Crabtree was saying but her dad, Zevon nudged her to focus. "Hmm, oh yeah sure."

"So, I've noticed that you are the Great Alpha of the werewolves while maintaining a 4.85 GPA. How do you manage to achieve a high GPA while leading your werewolves"

Kenzie sighed as she had to do well in this interview as she was representing not only the wolves but her mother.

"Well, I must admit it was hard balancing the responsibilities of leading as well as having good grades. I've encouraged my pack to do a couple study sessions whenever we had the free time."

Mrs. Crabtree wrote a few notes down in her binder before continuing. "I can tell you are a natural born leader and your father has been telling me you are an incredible artist. Mountain College needs more people like you." She pauses for a second realizing she had to finish Zed's interview. "Say, what's keeping that brother of yours"

Kenzie looked around and chuckled nervously. "Um... I have no idea. Let me go check on him to make sure he was alright.

Kenzie smiled and ran towards the kitchen.

Addison ran after Zed. "What happened?"

Zed shrugged. "I don't know, I just lost control." Addison touches his arm and the same electricity from earlier shocked him.

"It's coming from me!" Addison exclaimed

"Not now! I gotta focus!" Addison touches both his arm as she does Zed went flying across the room.

"What's going on?" Kenzie asked, coming into the room. She saw Addison flew Zed across the room with electricity and ran to help her brother up.

"Are you okay? And did that electricity come from you hands, Addison"

"It's a long story, Kenzie but last night after the cheer practice I found out my grandmother was an alien scout." Addison answered. "I'm so sorry" She apologized to Zed.

"Wait, it's your powers! Your alien powers!" Zed exclaimed.

"I have their spark! It must have taken longer to affect me!"

"Addison Rosalind Wells! You are an alien!"

"I am!" Addison exclaimed excitedly as she hugged Zed but the electricity hit him against the wall again.

Mrs. Crabtree was about to take a bit of some zombie delicacy that Zevon offered but was taken back by the noise they're making. "Is everything alright in there?"

"Yes, we're fine! I can't wait to tell the aliens at the Cheer off tomorrow. My mom's gonna freak out. She has no idea. She's gonna''

Zed interrupted when Addison tried to touch him again. "Please stop!"

"I'm sorry! I'm trying. I really am." Addison accidentally used her powers again and it pushed him so hard he end up in the living room as his zombie emerged.

Mrs. Crabtree so terrified that she ran out of the house before finishing their interview.

"Quick! Addie, put these on so you don't hurt anyone else." Kenzie suggested holding up a pair of dish washing gloves. Addison  immediately put them and ran out of the kitchen.

"I'm so sorry"

Zed quickly ran after Mrs. Crabtree outside and Kenzie followed behind him. "Wait, please."

( ZED )
I know that I may be different
Who that's exceptional isn't
We have a spark that can change things
It's not a curse, it's amazing

I'm Exceptional Zed
And so are my family and friends
We're artists, athletes and activists
Who always give it our best
We don't need to pretend
'Cause we won't ever fit in
And we're not just awesome in spite of that
We take pride in that instead
