*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.
