Lisa’s an Alien


In McDonald’s café Hindley Street Lisa is sitting and sipping a coffee she can’t remember ordering, wondering if she’s an alien. In the table across from her Emma is wondering why her boyfriend is obsessed with Texas cowboys. Her brother, Brendon, is in the seat next to her, wondering what his sister was thinking about and if the hot lady with the vague blue eyed expression drinking coffee could see him.
Markus is wondering if Lisa has noticed he’s there. Emma has just realised Markus is there. Brendon is running his fingers through his brown hair trying to get Lisa to notice him.
The girl at the counter is counting sheep in her head.
Brendon has just realised he went to primary school with the girl at the counter. Markus is contemplating whether to say hi to Lisa. Emma is wondering whether she should call her boyfriend. Lisa is thinking about the sunset in Titanic.
A gang of Girl Scouts has just walked into McDonald’s. The girl in the front remembers Brendon from when he dressed up as a Texas cowboy. Emma just remembered her brother had dressed up as a Texas Cowboy when he first met her boyfriend. Markus wonders if he turned the charm on the girl at the counter he might get a coffee half price. Lisa has just realised she’s drinking coffee and almost spits it over the table. Brendon is trying to figure out who’s better looking, Lisa or the girl at the counter from primary school. Markus decides against turning the charm on the girl at the counter because Lisa is better looking, and wonders why Lisa is drinking coffee. Emma has taken out her phone.
The girl scouts are getting hot chocolate; the girl in front wants to take a photo of Lisa. Brendon decides Lisa is better looking, but she has a strange expression on her face and is looking at her coffee, he wonders if the girl at the counter spat in it.
Lisa has just noticed the Girl Scouts. Emma is heard on her phone, her boyfriend is gay. Emma is looking at Markus again. The Girl Scout in front is wondering if she should try selling Lisa some cookies. Brendon is wondering if his sister’s boyfriend is in love with him. Emma has just put two and two together and is staring at her brother. Lisa wonders what it would be like to be a cat. The Girl Scout decides against selling Lisa cookies. Lisa accidentally takes another sip of coffee. Markus goes over to see Lisa. Lisa accidentally spits her coffee over Markus. Brendon runs from his sister’s murderous gaze to help out.
Lisa thinks Brendon is hot. Emma buys cookies from the Girl Scouts.
