*car swerves right, barely misses Sophie* * jumps curb, sideswipes streetlight*
*lantern falls towards Sophie*
Sophie: *hands in air*
*dust*
Sophie: *gasps*
Fitz: Put it down.
Sophie: *shrieks*
*lantern drops*
Fitz: *shouts* Watch out!
*lantern crashes*
*both knocked*
Sophie: *lands on Fitz* *stares into his eyes*
Fitz: *whispers* How did you do that?
Sophie: I have no idea. *sits up*
Fitz: We really need to get out of here. *points to driver*
*driver stares*
Sophie: Oh no, he saw.
Fitz: *helps her up* Come on, let's get out of sight. *drags her down street* Which way?
Sophie: *points towards the San Diego Zoo(north)*
*They run*
Sophie: What do you want?
Fitz: I'm here to help you, I promise.
Sophie: Why were you looking for me? *tugs eyelash*
Fitz: *opens mouth* *hesitates* I don't know if I'm supposed to tell you.
Sophie: How am I supposed to trust you if you won't answer my questions?
Fitz: Okay, fine—but I don't know much. My father sent me to find you. We've been looking for a specific girl your age, and I was supposed to observe and report back to him, like always. I wasn't supposed to talk to you. *frowns* I just couldn't figure you out. You don't make sense.
Sophie: What does that mean?
Fitz: It means you're . . . different from what I expected. Your eyes really threw me off.
Sophie: What's wrong with my eyes? *touches eyelids*
Fitz: We all have blue eyes. So when I saw them, I figured we had the wrong girl again. But we didn't. *looks at her with awe* You're really one of us.
Sophie: *holds up hands* What? Hang on. What do you mean, 'one of us'?
Fitz: *glances over shoulder* *frowns at tourists* *pulls her to deserted part of parking lot* *ducks behind dark green minivan* Okay—there's no easy way to explain this, so I'm just going to say it. You and I, we're not human, Sophie."
Sophie: *stunned* *laughs*Not human. *shakes head* Riiiiiight. *moves to sidewalk*
Fitz: Where are you going?
Sophie: You're insane—and I'm insane for trusting you. *kicks ground* *stomps away*
Fitz: I'm telling the truth, please believe me. Just think for a minute, Sophie.
Sophie: *turns around*
Fitz: Can humans do this? *closes eyes* *vanishes for a second*
Sophie: *leans against car* But I can't do that *deep breaths*
Fitz: You have no idea what you can do when you set your mind to it. Remember what you did with that pole a few minutes ago.
Cut!
