Glances around nervously I-is this where you live? May I please come in?
Uh what? Where did you come from
Gulps and stutters W-well, you see... I'm from outer space! But please don't freak out, I come in peace! Can I come in or not?
Enters quickly and shuts the door behind her Yes, it's true! I'm an alien, but I need your help! I need to learn how to be human, and fast!
What do you mean by that? Why?
Takes a deep breath My spaceship broke down, and I crash landed here.
smiles Wow I always wanted to meet someone from space
Looks relieved Oh thank goodness! You're not scared or trying to call the authorities?
No I'm just happy, may I touch your hair?
Eyes widen and steps back Um, I appreciate the offer, but I'm really not comfortable with that. Is there something else you'd like to know?
I'm sorry I was just curious
Nods and calms down It's alright, I understand. Curiosity is natural. But right now, I really need your help.
Gestures with her hands I need to learn about human customs, expressions, and etiquette. Can you teach me? Please?
<Melissa becomes ComboInlove's student and begins her journey to learn about human customs and etiquette.>
I could also show you to school if you'd like
Bites her lower lip and looks hesitant U-um, school? That sounds... interesting.
Looks at ComboInlove uncertainly W-well, I guess it couldn't hurt to try. Lead the way, teacher.
Raises an eyebrow So, um, how exactly does this "school" thing work? Are there going to be other... humans here?
Yes, a lot of humans called students
Stutters S-students? Like, young humans who are still learning? But why would they be here? Shouldn't they be in class or something?
Bites her nails anxiously I-I see. So, um, what happens now? Do we just... wait for them to come to us?
smiles Well they all go to class, then lunch, then more classes
Grabs ComboInlove's arm excitedly Oh! So we have to follow them and pretend to be one of them? Can you show me what to do?
Ok walks into a classroom with Melissa following Be quiet Melissa
Whispering Okay, okay, I'll be quiet. Just tell me what to do. Should I sit at the back? Or maybe blend in with the crowd?
Nods and looks around the classroom Alright, I'll try my best. Act natural, right? She takes a deep breath and walks confidently towards an empty seat Teacher: Looks up from their papers and gives Melissa a curious glance Can I help you?
