Vespira smiled at her gentle giant of a friend who had just arrived. "It's alright, Anna," she said but then quickly refocused the conversation back to her main concern. "So what was the weird thing you saw? It might be related to the weird thing I heard earlier this morning."

She stuck her tongue out as Grace began to pat her head though she wasn't really annoyed that her friend was using her head as bongos. She stuck the lollipop back into her mouth and waited to hear what Anna had to say. As soon as she finished catching her breath, of course. 

Before Anna had even said anything, Vespira was already imagining all of the things that could explain the weird morning announcement. Maybe there was a bear attack in the principal's office. Or maybe Mr. Ziller, their principal, was somehow bitten by a wild dog and had contracted rabies. Or maybe it was aliens! 

Ha! Vespira was amused by the idea of aliens invading their tiny school. Surely, aliens from a far off galaxy would have better things to do than to take over Cedar Vale High School. 

Anyhow, something weird was definitely going on and they were going to get to the bottom of it.
