"I want you to meet my friends!" Phil exclaimed happily, skipping down the sidewalk, dragging Dan behind him.

"Okay," Dan said simply, letting Phil take him wherever on this planet he didn't know.

Phil took Dan to PJ's house where PJ, Chris and Tyler were working on a film for PJ's project at school.

Phil burst into PJ's house, not even bothering to knock.

"Guys, guys!" Phil exclaimed, dragging Dan inside. "Look, I have a new friend!" (Phil didn't make new friends quite often).

"Ooh, we have to ask him some salty questions," Chris said, licking his lips and rubbing his hands together. Tyler laughed and shook his head.

"So uh, what's your name?" PJ asked the -unknown to anyone else besides Dan in the room- monochromian.

"It- it's Dan," Dan replied shakily, eyes skimming over each human. It was scary for him, being close to all these human beings when he wasn't quite ready.

"I'm PJ," PJ began, smiling a little at Dan. "This fucker is Chris, and this other guy is Tyler."

"So Dan, what are you interested in?" Tyler asked, clasping his hands together, startling Dan a bit.

"Do you like, believe in aliens or ghosts or anything like that?" PJ chimed in, sitting down.

Dan was feeling a bit overwhelmed.

"I- I'm..." Dan tried, but failed due to his nervousness and shyness.

"Aw, he's shy," Chris teased, sitting beside PJ and stealing his drink.

"Guys, calm down, I think Dan might have anxiety," Phil said seriously, sitting Dan down in a chair, handing him a bottle of water.

It was true, Dan did have a bit of anxiety issues, which was normal for a monochromian, but he never really noticed until now.

"Alright, well Dan, you'll have to answer later then," Tyler said, smiling a bit and chuckling. Dan nodded quickly, Dan drank a bit of the water.
