Synopsis

The scenario has two main strands: the jealousy and the aliens. The two 'leads' are set at odds by Bad Boy and Bad Girl rivals who try to seduce them in turn. Meanwhile, aliens have landed nearby and plan to steal the identities of these teens in order to infiltrate American society - eventually aiming to become President! Every opportunity for private time with a crush is also a chance for an alien to slip in, steal a kiss, and with it the body of the unlucky teen. Victims are left so ugly that they hide away in their rooms, leaving nobody the wiser. The characters must work out what's going on and thwart the alien menace.

The scenario is driven by the actions of two characters, who are strongly advised to be PCs. However, they're also a couple and expected to act in quite specific ways (becoming jealous of NPCs), making this a trickier choice. While the scenario says it's a good match for brand new roleplayers, the expectation to follow a script may make these two better suited to experienced roleplayers.

While the specific details are flexible, the scenario is scripted to a particular set of events, especially as the end approaches.
