EXT. SPACE ODYSSEY

Aliens roam the fairgrounds. They wear regular clothes but all have the same face. The same face as the pictures in Mikey’s bedroom and his mask. -- 11 of 13 -- 11 Some are adults, some kids. They’re grouped together as family units or friends, just like the unharmed but frozen- in-place humans they respectfully walk around. Mikey stands just outside the hatch next to the frozen ride attendant. He observes two TEEN BOY ALIENS torment a YOUNG BOY ALIEN. The boy falls, the teens SQUEAL and run away. The alien boy gets up and dusts himself off. He and Mikey make eye contact. Mikey backs up nervously as the alien boy approaches. They stand only a few feet from each other. Suddenly the alien boy’s hand begins to glow. He moves it up and down as he scans Mikey’s body. Alien boy makes a series of beeps then speaks robotically. -- 12 of 13 -- 12
