A few days later classmates Eric Ochs and Amanda Walker performed the roles of BOY and GIRL. This version went straight from the gas station to a field where the BOY killed the GIRL because he couldn't stand to be in the presence of her beauty anymore.
A week later Lon rewrote it as a screenplay, removed the murder, added a bar scene, and made the entire movie about alien abduction. It was a chance to bring back the Po'awbockTM aliens first seen in the 1999 short film Caffeine.
For the past year Lon had planned on directing
this film with Ochs reprising his role as BOY and with WSU Theatre Performance
major April Follmer portraying the GIRL. Although regrettably Lon
fell out of contact with both of them before they could film Lon feels
very confident that the new cast will make this short film a great success.
In this version Tim Rogers plays a Park City, Kansas gas station attendant cleaning off a Vend-a-Bait machine when an antique pickup truck screeches to a halt in the parking lot. Out steps Keri Engle and Rogers is instantly smitten. His problem however, is he can't stop internalizing everything he feels about her and fails to notice that Engle is trying to pick him up.
The story is told from Boy’s memories and narration with occasional commentary from Girl. When her planned mark falls through Girl must resort to abducting Boy in order to meet her scheduled rendezvous with the alien scout-ship. When her feminine charm doesn’t break through to the Boy who compares every facet of life to Star Trek she resorts to seducing him in a Starfleet uniform.
