KENZIE MADE IT TO THE ENTRANCE of the school, she promised the wolves she would meet up with them to show the aliens around as vice president. She spotted the three leaders instantly.
"A-lan, did you remember your midday rations?" The mothership asked.
"Yes, mothership," he replied.
"A-li, did you remember your thermal overgarment?" The mothership asked.
"Yes, mothership," She said in an annoyed tone.
"And. A-spen, don't forget your mission to find the interstellar map to our new home planet"
"Mothership, Shh, Secret mission" They shush their mothership.
"Okay. No need to bite your mothership's head off." As they finished talking to the mothership Kenzie walked towards."Hello, aliens. Welcome to Seabrook High. I just want to be the first to welcome you as the school's Vice president. Oh, and cool ship by the way"
"Oh, I like this one so polite and her manners are on point" The ship spoke up.
"Mothership, this is Kenzie" A-spen introduced. "Now, if you'll excuse us, she must show us to this Principal office"
"Stop acting like I embarrass you" Mothership as they walked off.
"So, are you guys ready to head inside?" Kenzie asked the aliens.
"Yes, we are excited to learn about Seabrook" A-lan told her "The history, and people and perhaps the other things such as a competition. I'm fascinated by the subject"
"Oh, don't worry when you leave Seabrook you would know what competition is" she assured him. "Just the rush of crushing your opponents is exhilarating!"
"I'm already looking forward to these new emotions" He said, continuing to stare at her as they stopped at the door.
Bree and Bonzo were hanging by the entrance and looking at the aliens with welcoming smiles. However, A-li couldn't help but be a bit condescending though. "I hope you take this opportunity to learn from our advanced intelligence."
A-li comment fell flat when she tried to open the door by pushing on it. When it didn't budge she threw her entire body weight against it, letting out a frustrated grunt.
"Uh, you have to pull" Bree told her with a smile. A-li looked at the door for a moment before gently pulling it open. "Yeah. There you go."
Kenzie couldn't help but chuckle as the alien entered the school. A-lan even spun and walked backward through it while watching the door swing closed. She looked at Bree and Bonzo and shrugged as she showed the aliens where the principal office was.

Addison was waiting for Zed so they could walk to school together.
"Yo" Zed greeted as he walk out of the door.
Addison gave a bright smile. "Hi. Aren't the aliens amazing? They have a non-hierarchical approach to leadership. They're a fashion forward, peaceful people."
Zed grimaces, not forgetting their arrival to Seabrook. "Okay, well, they did kind of blow up Seabrook, right?"
"Well, it was an accident, Zed. I mean, just imagine the courage needed to come to a new planet. I mean, I'm just nervous about going away to college alone." Zed looked down at the ground and Addison noticed. "With you"
"Right. I am getting into Mountain College, and we are going to be together forever."

( ADDISON )
It's you and me for the rest of our lives together
( ZED )
We're not breaking up, we're not falling out
We won't change (I hope)

Living perfectly, so happily, 'til forever
( ZED )
When it comes to trust
There's nothing that we can't say (I hope)
We're not worried
Definitely not worried at all
( ADDISON )
So disturbing
How all of these stars align (like, how?)
( ZED )
We're not nervous
And totally unconcerned with
( ADDISON )
Things uncertain (and there's a lot)
( ZED & ADDISON )
We're gonna be fine, so fine
Ain't no doubt about it
It's working out right, all right
All I'm thinkin' 'bout is
How everything's gonna be okay
No complications in our way
It's fine, we're fine
Ain't no doubt about it
( ADDISON )
Honestly, if you're asking me, we're not crazy
( ZED )
Yeah, we're old enough to know we're in love
That's no lie (but we're 17)
( ADDISON )
If you promise me that we'll always be on the same page
( ZED )
Then I promise, too
I'll be choosing you every time (every-every time?)
We're not worried
Definitely not worried
( ADDISON )
So disturbing
How all of these stars align

We're not nervous
And totally unconcerned with

It's fine, we're fine
Ain't no doubt about it
( ALIENS )
It's all going according to plan
It's all falling right into our hands
Nothing to it, let's get it moving, moving
Find the map and be on our way home
We'll be leaving here before you know
With what we needed
Mission completed
( ZED & ADDISON )
We're not worried
Definitely not worried
So disturbing
How all of these stars align
We're not nervous

It's working out right, all right
All I'm thinkin' 'bout is
How everything's gonna be okay
No complications in our way
It's fine, we're fine
Ain't no doubt about it
Kenzie met up with the pack in the hallway after dropping the aliens at Principal Lee's Office and Wyatt greeted her with a quick peck on the check and draped his arm over shoulder as they walked downstairs.
"There's no way they came across the galaxy just to cheer. Why are they really here?" Willa asked
"I don't know but we are going to find out." Kenzie said in a quiet tone just before the aliens reached them.
Some of the wolves let out warning growls, still not welcoming the newcomers. "Better watch your step" Wynter said, baring her fangs.
"We will watch our step" A-spen said brightly. "Thank you for the warning"
"That's not what she-" Kenzie paused, knowing she could never explain in a way the aliens would understand. "Never mind"
A-li held up her luma lens that started to glow. "Smile," she instructed.
"How cool, an alien camera," Wyatt said, bringing everyone in for a photo.
"No fleas" Wynter said, giving a pose.
Willa and Kenzie weren't convinced it was a camera. The luma lens started to flash and there was an odd feeling washed over them.
For a moment, Kenzie thought she missed a few seconds of time, but that can't be true. The aliens started walking passed the pack, seemingly to be done with the conversation after the little "photo session"
"Woah. What just happened?" Wynter asked as Wyatt rubbed his head.

Addison was at the school's library doing some homework when her cousin ran up to her. "Addison, you can't help those invaders."
"Back off, Bucky," Willa came up to them. "Your cousin's the cheer captain now. Not you"
"Thanks Willa," Addison thanked.
"But Bucky is right."
"I'm right?" Bucky questioned. "Yes, of course I'm right''
"A little right," Willa argued. "I don't trust the aliens, Addison. Last time outsiders swooped into Seabrook, our moonstone was stolen. And this time, we might lose our shot of getting into Mountain College"
"Which is why we need to protect what's ours. The Seabrook Cup, my legacy. Me, in general" Bucky waved his arms around himself. "Right, Willa? Or should I say, "Wacey?"
"You should not" Willa said, baring her fangs as Bucky ran away in fear as Addison chuckled.
"Don't worry about the aliens. I'm not afraid of a little competition." Addison reassured her by giving her smile to the former alpha as she gave a slight smile back.

Zed was talking with Eliza but since the tablet was electrocuted in half the screen was buffering. "I have a real shot of getting into Mountain College. I just - I wish you were to help me with the exceptional student application"
"I am here. Turn around," Eliza said, Zed turned around as he saw Eliza in robot form. "I whipped up a little something with the spare parts laying around Z-Corp"
"This is amazing, Eliza."
Bonzo walked up to his friends. "Lizagar?'' However, got spooked when he saw his friend in a robot. "Zom ma grazion"
"No, the aliens didn't imprison me in this robot body. I did this."
"Rez gurta"
Zed agreed. "Yeah, I would have made myself taller too." He said throwing away the old tablet.
"At least I didn't fail my driver's test, Bonzo. Twice." Eliza stated before taking it back. "Sorry, low blow. You're a genius"
Kenzie walked over to her brother and friends. "Wow, Eliza. New look?"
"Just a little something I made in Z-Corp. So, when is your application due?" Eliza asked.
"Uh, today, so not technically last minute?" Zed said.
"Are you kidding me? I did mine as soon as I heard about it" Kenzie stated.
"Okay, let me get this straight. The only way you guys can get in is as an exceptional student? Okay, hold on. Let me pull up your transcript" Eliza said, typing on the computer to check his transcript.
"Hey, check it out. I'm ranked third in our class for grade point average." Zed said, excitedly.
"Yeah, but who's the smarter one out of the two of us?" Kenzie gestured between her and Zed. Despite how busy is with being the Great Alpha, Vice President, and being a girlfriend she still maintains a perfect GPA.
Bonzo spoke quickly while pointing at the screen, gaining their attention once again. In a matter of seconds, the numbers on the screen changed drastically.
"What? I'm ninth now?" Zed questioned. "No, that's wrong-" Once again the numbers dropped drastically. "I'm ranked 18th?"
"Wait, okay this doesn't make sense at all," Zed muttered, beginning to freak out. ''All these grades ahead of me are... otherworldly"
