"I can just picture little green martians laughing at us." Avis said, dusting herself off.

Kathryn nodded"Yeah.Do you think they'll eat us or take over the earth?""I can just picture little green martians laughing at us." Avis said, dusting herself off.
Kathryn sighed"That's what I thought."She said sadly"We're all just going to be picked off one by one."She shrugged, "Maybe both."
)(This could get interesting.)
Dirk was startled as he felt something hit him from behind, but still reacted very quickly. As he stumbled and fell forewards, he put his arms out to break his fall, but one of his feet managed to catch on a small stump and caused him to twist around backwards as he fell. He landed hard on his back, though it didn't hurt near as much as he thought it should have; however, he had other things on his mind. Immediately after he landed on the ground, Avis fell directly down on top of him. His arms, which were no longer fully extended but were much closer to his body, caught Avis mid-fall and she ended up directly on top of Dirk only about a foot above him and the two wound up face-to-face. Dirk's entire face immediately went fire-engine red and he just lay there staring at Avis, unable to think or do much of anything.
Dirk tried to respond, but being this close to a girl his age was such a new experience to him that his mind wasn't able to form basic thoughts and carry them out. He tried speaking, he tried helping Avis get back up, he tried doing anything other than just lie there and stare, but he simply couldn't. After seeing Dirk and Avis fall, Connie ran over to the two of them. She noticed her brother's gaze locked onto the girl laying on him, so she quickly intervened, grasping each of them with one hand and pulling them back to a standing position. She paused for a moment, thinking hmmm, that's odd... pulling them up felt way easier than it should have... She then refocused and gave Dirk an indescreet but very firm nudge to try and snap him out of his little trance. She turned back to Avis and said "Are you alright, what happened?"
