It was a very normal day on Maple Street. Kids were playing, women were chatting, and men talked while working. Then there was a meteor, or a comet looking thing that came very close to the neighborhood. Everyone was freaked out. Then they realized the power was out and nothing was working, even the cars!

What's going on?
One neighbor, Pete, decided to walk over to the next street over to see if they were having the same issue. Then Tommy, Sally's son, tells everyone about the alien stories and movies he's watched and how it's just like this. While everyone was talking, Les Goodman's car started up on it's own, and everyone started to believe Tommy's stories and that Lester was the alien.
It was like this in all the alien movies I've watched!

Maple ST.
There was a mysterious figure walking in the darkness. Charlie's first instinct was to shoot. Turns out, it was just Pete Van Horn coming back to tell the neighbors about the neighborhood next door. Now everyone thinks that Charlie is the alien because he was so quick to kill Pete. Maybe Pete had had some information that Charlie didn't want everyone to know about?
