SUDDENLY, ADDISON APPEARS IN A FUTURISTIC-LOOKING ROOM. "What is going on?" She looked around and noticed she was alone. "Woah."

Addison began walking off to explore the alien's spaceship, she felt a hand on her shoulder so she was about to punch whoever it was before they blocked it.

"Ha, miss me-'' Zed taunted before Addison punch him like she did before accidentally. "Sorry, reflexes. Zed!"

"What are you doing here?"

"I got beamed up. What are you doing here?" Addison asked, holding her hands in his.

"A-Spen asked if i could help with my knowledge of Seabrook." Zed explained to his girlfriend.

"Aww, poor thing. They're trying to spend time alone with you." Addison realized.

"Alone time? Why?"

Zed thought for a second. "Oh, Oh. Okay, well, I do have a universal appeal"

Addison playfully hits his shoulder. "Hey, be nice. A-Spen's new to feelings and human relations"

"Beware. Intruder." A-Li exclaimed, followed by A-Spen and A-Lan.

"Addison? Mothership beamed you aboard?" A-Spen asked, confusingly. Addison nodded.

"We have no choice but to-"

"Welcome you"

"Vaporize you"

A-Lan and A-Spen glared at A-Li as she smiled at Addison. "Right. Welcome you."

The aliens led Zed and Addison to the main control room. "You have a wonderful home" Addison announced.

"It is a marvelous ship, but it is not our home" A-Lan said looking down sadly.

"Our planet was destroyed by environment blight built over many years" A-Spen explained.

"What? Over years? Didn't anyone try to stop it?" Addison questioned.

"No. And we lost everything. No one spoke up" A-Li answered.

"That what have led to disagreements. We valve harmony"

"And we will remain one people in harmony at any cost" A-Li continued for A-Spen.

"You seem angry" Zed pointed it out.

"I'm not angry. I'm just in harmony in a super hostile way. I need to get off this planet."

The file of the alien's scout has been crypted and they been trying to find what is the precious thing. "We need your help. But first-"

"A-Spen has great feelings for you"

"Ah, right. About that." Zed tried to explain but A-Spen beat him to it. "I've been doing research, Zed. Couples can grow apart."

"But we are not a couple."

"No, we are not. I am breaking up with you. I am sorry. We do not have tissues aboard but you can use my sleeve if you must cry." A-Spen holding their arm up.

However, Zed was confused about what just happened. Did someone just break up with him even though they weren't actually together? "What?"

"We'll always have the invasion" Addison rubs Zed's arm in comfort.

"As you can see, they have mastered the interactions of your species and feels you can both be trusted" A-Lan explained.

"Years ago, our scout crashed in Seabrook and hid a map to Utopia. A new home for aliens. We came here to find it" A-Spen revealed their true mission.

"Wait, I thought you said you were here for cheer."

"That was a deception. We were afraid you would not allow us to find the map since it's hidden in the most precious thing in Seabrook" A-Spen explained some more.

''So that's why you kept asking about the moonstone"

"Yes. But our scans came back negative. It's not there. What else is precious in Seabrook?" A-Spen asked.

"Well, cheer, mostly. But you can't hide coordinates in a routine." Addison answered.

Zed went over trying to touch the computer but A-Li stopped him. "Do not touch. We're repairing the files of our scout's log"

"With no success"

"I mean, have you guys tried banging it" Zed suggested. "It works whenever my old TV's on the fritz"

A-Li laughed slightly. "Banging? That's highly sensitive cosmic tech. You can't just bang it" Zed banged on the side of the control panels and the image of the alien scout appeared on screen. "Oh. That seems to have worked."

"This is Scout Commander 15-09 I proudly report my mission is complete. For centuries, we have been without a home, but I found utopia. The perfect new planet for our people. I hid the coordinates in the most precious thing in Seabrook. You must find the most precious thing in Seabrook. Many decades ago, out of fuel, my scout ship crashed on this planet. I would have died if not for young humanoid, Eli. He hid me and nursed me to health. But with no ship to take me home, I was forced to hide my true identity"

"I know how that feels" Addison sighed.

"I joined Eli in his school, and I discovered my passion: Cheerleading. I even created a trophy. But no longer in contact with our people, my hair grew white, and I lost my stardust powers. Though I gained something else. A family. Eli and I fell in love and married, and we named our firstborn A-Mishanta, but we always called her Missy."

Addison face grew in shock hearing her mom's name from the scout commander. "That's my mom's name" The scout removed her mask as Addison immediately recognized her. "Grandma?"

"The alien scout was your grandma!" Zed exclaimed.

"My grandma. Grandma Angie was an alien? My mom's an alien?" Addison questioned, still trying to process the news.

"You're part alien. That's why the ship beamed you up too."

"Zed, I know who I am!" Addison exclaimed, after searching for so long she finally knows what she is as she gave Zed a hug afterwards she gave A-Spen one.

A-Spen showed Addison a Luma Lens. "We found this Luma Lens on the scout ship. It belong to your grandmother." they put it in her hands as the lights started to flicker.

"Now do you possess our spark? Can you lift the Luma Lens" A-Li asked. Addison attempted to lift the Luma Lens however, she couldn't do it.

"Uh, I-I can't"

The aliens looks sad and disappointed for Addison. "Our relationship with stardust defines us. Our technology would not work for you."

"You cannot share in our telepathy"

"Nor survive travel with us"

Addison looked in disbelief. "No, No, this is who I am. This is where I belong. It all makes sense."

"I'm sorry. You do not have our spark. You are not truly one of us" A-Spen said apolgetic. Addison sighed. "Right. Yeah. Sorry.''

Addison ran off feeling a little upset as Zed ran after her.

"I feel deep sorrow." A-Lan nodded slightly.

A-Li moved some orbs around to get more information. "Wait. The scout's trophy contains material from our planet."

"What could be more precious than an artifact from our home world?" The aliens smiled happily. "The map is there. We must win that trophy."

Addison and Zed got beamed down on the streets of Zombie town. "The aliens won't accept me? I may be part alien, but I'm still totally alone."

''Addison, because of you, no one in Seabrook ever has to feel alone. You made this place for people to call home." Zed reassured her, helding his hands out. "I'll still gelp the aliens find the map to their new home"

"Good. And whatever happens, you have to go to Mountain College whether I get in or not. It doesn't matter how far away we are from each other. We will always be together"

"You'll do great on your interview tomorrow" Addison smiled. "I better. Everyone's counting on me to be the first zombie to go to college"

"You're not alone either, Zed." Zed gave Addison hugged once they pulled away he swing his arm over shoulder and walked her home.

Addison was in her bedroom on her bed looking at a photo album, smiling at the pictures of her when she was kid with her grandma. "Where did you hide the map, Grandma?"

Addison attempted to lift the Luma Lens again but same as the last time then, she heard a knock on her door and immediately put the lens away. "Mom, where was Grandma Angie from?"

Missy sat down at her daughter's bed. "Seabrook, dear. Born and raised. Why?"

"Because, uh... never mind." They both say good night to each other

"Attention, everyone. If Zed can prove that monsters are exceptional, doors will open for all of us." Eliza announced.

The big day, Zed's interview with Mountain College. If Zed were to get in it would open a lot of doors for monster kind. No pressure, right?

Bonzo was busy studying for his drivers test again. "You're gonna ace your driver's test, zoom-boo. Bu"
