The first 200 lines.
Welcome to Seabrook.
Our hometown's a little different than most...
Where a mysterious galactic Moonstone
gave our world zombies, werewolves and aliens.
And now we all live like one big, happy, furry, green fangy family.
And now some of us are at Mountain College.
We've met people from all over, and heard lots of stories...
But this one's our favorite.
Legend has it that another Moonstone crashed on Mount Rayburn,
creating two new monsters in two separate worlds.
The daywalkers...
And the vampires.
The Moonstone also created Blood Fruit,
which both creatures need to survive.
But over the years, they began to fight over their precious food source,
and their differences turned into suspicion and fear.
So they locked themselves off from their sworn enemies forever.
Until now.
Hi, I'm Zed, zombie, hometown hero,
and, most recently, Mountain College's latest football star.
Yeah, benchwarmer.
All right. Still a few wrinkles to iron out, but nothing I can't handle.
Zed. You spend your summer drilling the basics,
you'll make starting team in no time.
Oh... Yes, coach.
Drilling at intensive football camp.
It's gonna be hard not seeing everybody this summer,
but, I'm not the only one trying to blaze a trail.
Hi, I'm Addison.
You'd think that being part alien
would give me an edge on the college cheer squad...
...but this team is good.
And if I want to make Cheer Captain, I have to stay focused.
That's why this summer I'm going to a world-class cheer camp.
I'm gonna miss Zed and my friends so much.
But if we want to make our mark, we have to stay focused.
That's cheating, Zed.
Hey, coach.
Hey, Zed. We need to talk football.
Oh, yeah!
Help!
Road trip! Road trip! Road trip!
All right. Good job, everybody.
Remember, put your whole body into it.
Right in the fangs. Yah!
Yah!
We've got to be prepared, right?
Our Blood Fruit is dying, and we have to find more if we're gonna survive.
So, back to it.
Why do I have to do this if I'm not even allowed to go?
So you can protect the town while we're away, silly.
Come here.
Nova?
Hey!
Earth to Nova.
Nova.
I ask you to run your recruits through training maneuvers,
and I find you doing what, exactly?
A little self-reflection.
- Come on. We need to talk. - Okay.
Keep up the good work, everyone.
Nova, we don't have time for your visions.
If our orchards are dying, the vampires may be too.
They'll destroy us to get that last fruit.
Dad...
How much longer can we live in fear
of people we've never even seen?
Well, as long as I'm in charge,
I know what it takes to keep our people safe.
And if you want to lead one day, you'll follow my lead.
- Right. - Nova.
Can I count on you?
You can. I promise.
I know I can.
Make way for Ray!
Great, Ray.
I hear we're short of crew to pick Blood Fruit.
Wanted to make sure I'm up front where the action is.
When the vampires mess with us, they're toast,
courtesy of Ray.
Ray, you will follow my orders.
- Understood? - Absolutely, Commander Bright.
Good thinking.
You want to do the honors?
Daywalkers, our journey begins.
Vargas, if you keep whistling,
I'm gonna catapult you into the sun.
Vera, whistling makes me forget I'm working,
and working makes me forget I'm hungry.
Where is Victor?
I'm sick of him slacking while I'm messing up my flawless moonicure
doing his work.
Sorry, I'm comin' in hot!
Victor, stop!
Whoa, dude!
Whoa!
One of my better landings.
- Victor! - At your service.
The vampire Eldress keeps asking about you.
I thought you were our next leader.
I can't keep covering for you.
Sorry, but I got you something to make up for it.
Blood Fruit!
Aw! You got me a gift, and my favorite color. Blood red.
Where'd you find that?
I got this for the three of us,
to celebrate finally making it out of this town.
Celebrate? Everyone's terrified.
Nobody wants to leave Shadyside.
Well, I do.
Look, I love Shadyside.
I really do. But there's this whole world out there,
and I want to see all of it. Any of it.
You can keep the world.
If I'm not living the night life, I'm not living the right life.
Don't worry, you'll be back and bored in no time.
But for now, let's share this baby.
- Yeah. - Okay. You know, I hate sharing.
- But I'm in. - Yes!
Vampires! It's time to save Shadyside.
The harvest is upon us.
Yes!
Right, coach. Stay calm in the pocket.
Visualize the play before it happens. Yep.
I'm visualizing. I'm visualizing!
Coach. I promise I will only think about football this summer and nothing else.
- How about now? - I'm thinking about it right now.
At least we get to borrow Zed's car for our camping trip.
What, Willa, this isn't the quality time you were hoping for?
- How about now? - You got me, Coach. I'm sorry.
I wasn't thinking about football, but I am now.
Hey.
Whoa, Willa! What!
Whoops. Must have hit a dead zone.
Come on, you two. What about a little work-monster life balance?
No. Balancing on top of the cheer pyramid
is the only thing I can focus on right now.
What was I just thinking about? Football, for one...
Zed, what's wrong?
Zed, you're pushing this heap of junk too hard.
Yeah, well, this heap of junk and I got this.
Zed!
Okay, we don't got this.
The marshmallows! Save the marshmallows!
Is everyone okay?
- What was that? - No need to panic, everyone.
The marshmallows are okay.
Come on. Yes!
That was awesome!
We can get split up to find help.
We'll cover more ground that way.
I sense something. That way.
Maybe it's what messed with Zed's Z-band.
Join me? I might need science.
- I miss you already. - I've missed you all year.
Hey, you know what? We're gonna be back on the road in no time. Oh.
Right, and then we're off to our camps.
Okay.
Ooh.
Wow, that's a real night and day difference.
Wow.
Maybe someone in that town can tell me what's going on.
By this time tomorrow, I will be living, breathing and eating football.
I wonder what football tastes like.
Instant civilization!
Daywalkers, we're almost to the tunnels.
Stay strong, look alive.
Wait.
Hello. Hi, I'm Zed.
I was wondering if you guys had a mechanic I could use?
What? Okay, whoa, whoa!
Easy now. Chill, chill, chill!
- Okay, vampire. Talk. - Vampire?
What? No, no. I'm Zed. I'm a zombie.
- How did you even get in here? - I don't know.
I was driving And then my Z-band went crazy.
And then all of a sudden...
You're the guest of honor at the daywalker barbecue.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa! - Ray!
Stand down.
Commander.
How do you know this thing...
isn't a vampire spy?
Nova, I hope you have a good reason
this intruder was not immediately destroyed.
Can you make it a really good reason?
Sorry.
Dad, I don't think he's a vampire.
Zombie, smile.
See?
- No fangs. - Yeah. No fangs. No fangs.
Does no fangs mean that I get a big warm welcome and I can stop smiling?
Dad, you always told us that vampires are evil and ruthless.
But he's just green and clueless.
Thank you. Yes.
Wait. That's mean. Okay.
We could use another recruit.
What do you think?
He looks like he has a strong back
that could harvest a lot of fruit.
