Chapter 3

Setting: Planet Earth. Small exterior car park of school.

Narrative: Then, after just a split of a second...

Teleport Machine appears. Peuge and Vaux lost for words, looks around.

The cars’ alarm start to go off all at once. Peuge and Vaux jump off their seats and runs without thinking about the machine.

Peuge and Vaux stop when the sounds stop.

Vaux notices a human boy drinking from a fast food cup, walking past a big green bin. The boy drops the cup in bin.

Vaux runs toward the bin.

Peuge (follows and shouts): Vaux don’t! You don’t know whether its safe!

Vaux: I don’t care! I just want a drink!

Vaux dives in and picks up drink from bin. Luckily cup still half full. Vaux starts drinking.

Vaux: I feel better already.

Suddenly, Peuge and Vaux hear some human laughter and peeks round the corner.

Out of a crowd of school kids coming out of school, four of them come into focus. Three together (A boy and two girls) laughing at the sad Asian girl, Rani.

Peuge and Vaux listen and watch intensely.

Full view of Laughing Boy, Laughing Girl 1, Laughing Girl 2 and Rani.

Laughing Boy (to Rani): Hey Fantasy Girl! I wonder if ever your “Alien Detector” goes off, it’ll go “BEEP BEEP BANG!!”

Laughing Girl 1+2 (laughs): Yeah!

Rani sighs with head down and walks away. Laughing Boy, Laughing Girl 1+2 keep on laughing as they walk away in opposite direction.

Rani (thinking): I wish one day I could prove them wrong! My detector works! I just need to find an existing alien!

Rani looks up. Startled to see Peuge and Vaux looking at her.

Rani (shouts at Peuge and Vaux without realising what they are): WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?!!!

Peuge and Vaux look shocked.

Rani stops when a constant ‘beeping’ sound is heard. She looks down at her special watch, in which a light starts to flash.

Rani: My alien detector!! It works!!

Rani looks back up.

Rani: That means... THEY’RE REAL!!!

Peuge and Vaux scream in unison.

Rani smiles with open arms): WELCOME TO PLANET EARTH!!! I’m Rani.

Peuge and Vaux calms down.

Peuge: Well, I’m Peuge, and this is (pointing to Vaux) my cousin, Vaux.

Vaux: And we come from the Planet Vi-ackle.

Rani: Cool! So, how did you get here?

Vaux: Well, it’s a long story...
