Chapter 1: Nate
-
07:42 AM - BEVERLY HILLS HIGH SCHOOL
Sam, Alex, and Clover met up in the halls. Clover was wearing a scarf made of fox fur.
"What's with you, Clover?" Sam asked. "You've had this obsession with foxes ever since... ever since..."
"Ever since I got turned into one at that incident in Mexico?" Clover finished.
"Uh... right. Guess that explains it. Alex, what do you think?"
Alex didn't answer. She was looking at a boy nearby, who was putting his books in a locker. It took a slap from Clover to break Alex out of her trance.
After a moment, Sam spoke up. "Who's that guy you were staring at, Alex?"
"His name is Nate," Alex responded. "He's in my zoology class. He's a babysitter." It was obvious that Alex had taken a liking to Nate.
The three of them approached Nate and introduced themselves, and got to know him.
"Alex says you're a babysitter," Clover said. "How's that going?"
"I'm the most well-known babysitter in Beverly Hills," Nate replied. "The kids around town love the stories I tell them."
"Want to go to the ice cream parlor after school today?" Alex requested. Nate agreed; he had to babysit some kids in that neighborhood anyway.
Sam and Clover decided it'd be a good idea for them to come along as well, just in case Alex tried anything... funny.
03:52 PM - ICE CREAM PARLOR
"These vanilla ice cream sundaes are the best, aren't they, Nate?" Alex commented.
"I'll say they are," Nate responded. "We should come here more often."
Sam and Clover were watching Nate and Alex from the next table. Everything seemed to be normal.
...DING! Nate's face suddenly brightened. He took his PDA out of his pocket.
"Nate?" Alex asked. "What are you doing?"
"Inspiration just hit," Nate responded. "I'm just writing another of my stories to tell the kids. I'll finish it after we finish our sundaes."
Nate leaned over and held hands with Alex. Sam and Clover glanced at each other.
"My mother's always telling me to get a boyfriend," Alex said, "and now I've got one!"
"Really? Who?" Nate replied, completely wrecking the mood. He then looked down at his PDA to finish the story he'd been working on.
Before Alex could say another word, trapdoors dropped her, Clover, and Sam down a long slide.
At this point, recall that Nate and Alex were still holding hands. Guess what happened!
