(We see a spaceship flying through space)

Peri: (off-screen) Flying in space here... Roger that. Cruising over and under planets...

(A planet opens up and an alien appears)

Peri: (off-screen) Uh, Houston... we have a problem!

(The alien starts shooting pieces of blobs at the spaceship. It dodges a few but one hits it and it explodes. The alien laughs evilly and the words "GAME OVER" flash on the screen. Then we cut to a teenage boy named Peri Dazz playing a computer game called "Trouble in Space" on his computer in his room. He is slender and has dark red hair, eyebrows and freckles, an orange T-shirt with "Esc" text on it, a red hoodie, blue jeans, green socks and black sneakers.)

Peri: Dang it! Man, I can't believe I'm still bad at playing my own game. This game stinks. Well, at least I can try and reprogram it.

Heather: (off-screen) Sweetie, it's time for dinner!

Peri: Uh, just hang on will ya? I wanna fix something on my computer! Just... give me a second!!

Heather: (off-screen) I'm not gonna say it again, Peri! Come downstairs right now, or else you will lose your computer privileges!

Peri: (sighs) Fine! I'm coming!

(Peri exits the computer game, turns off his computer, and gets out of his room. He runs downstairs to the dining room to eat his dinner.)

Heather: Peri, your father and I would like to make an important announcement.

Peri: Yes, Mom? What is it?

Heather: We wanted to tell you that tomorrow we are going to go on a vacation.

Peri: Really? Can I come too?

Heather: Well, actually not you Peri, we are.

Peri: What, I got the plague?! What do you mean I can't come along with you guys?

Earl: Son, it's our private vacation, which means it's just only us without you.

Heather: Your father's right. We have to leave you in charge of the house while we're away. You have to be on your best behavior as a big boy.

Peri: Oh, come on, mom! Look, I'm a happy computer wiz so I can do whatever I want alongside making the online-

Heather: Oh, like tidying up your room?

(Peri stares in disbelief)

Heather: By the way, you haven't even touched your food yet.

(There is dead silence for 2 seconds until Peri quickly eats his food in no time; then he finishes it, or so it appears)

Peri: Done! Now may I be excused?

Heather: (angry) Hey, you're not supposed to rush to go upstairs to your room!

(Peri stops and turns to his mom)

Peri: What?

Heather: (angry) You didn't even finish all of your food!

Peri: Aw, come on, mom! I did finish it! See?!

(He holds up the plate in front of Heather, which does appear to have some food residue; the residue seems to have "coincidentally" formed a line drawing the spaceship from the game Peri played earlier)

Peri: See?...

(Heather has a disapproving look on her face)

More coming soon!
