“Hurry up!” Kaili yelled at Violet, who was supposed to be the camera person for the movie they were trying to make. Everything was in place — the salt lamp was on the stand and Chloe and Avalene were waiting to begin their scene. Violet, however, had left and gone to the other room, mumbling something about needing her slippers.

Kaili stomped into the doorway, shouting: “Violet, no one cares if your feet are cold, we need you to film!” When she got to the room, Violet was nowhere to be found, and instead there was a guitar sitting randomly in the middle of the floor with a note: Sorry we kidnapped your friend, but here’s your compensation.

“Hey guys…” Kaili called to the others. “I think we may have a bit of a problem…”

(Time skip to when they found a suspicious container outside the room)

“I don’t think this lock pick is gonna work,” Avalene told Kaili, who was attempting to open a weird-looking box outside the window of her bedroom.

“Hey! I think this might help!” Chloe exclaimed, emerging from under a bush with a small shiny object. “It looks like the key to that box.” Kaili grabbed it and unlocked the grey cube. Immediately a bright purple light shot out of it and gradually formed a circle around the three girls. They looked around wildly as their surroundings began to fade.

Violet watched as her friends suddenly appeared across from her. They appeared dazed. Violet kept sitting at the table, drinking her boba tea.

When they had mentally processed their surroundings, Chloe asked: “What are you doing here… how did you get here??” Violet shrugged.

“I don’t know, some people kidnapped me and said I would get free bubble tea for life if I completed a quest for them. Seemed fishy, but I like bubble tea, so I agreed. I’m waiting for them to come back,” she said. Everyone seemed at a loss for words.

Suddenly, a group of rather scary-looking people appeared, just like Kaili, Avalene, and Chloe had. One of them, upon seeing the three uninvited guests, pointed a screwdriver at them threateningly.

“This screwdriver is secretly a gun,” they warned.

“Sounds fake but ok…” Kaili said warily. None of them moved.

“Now,” another of the scary-people said, “How did you girls get here? Did you find our machine?”

“I think so. Was it a grey box thing?” Avalene asked. The one who had just spoken nodded.

“We’re gonna have to get you out of here. We will proceed with that shortly, but for now, you may enjoy a drink with your friend here,” they said.

“Now hold on, what did you trick Violet into doing?” Chloe demanded.

“We need a human for the handprint identification.” After further questions from the four friends, they continued. “For the bank we are going to rob. The humans own the banks, and our species was reduced to nothing just because they had the better weapons. Of course, some of our smartest minds learned from their technology…” The other one twirled the screwdriver-gun.
