Cosmic Collision

About this Scenario

Scott Hunter and Kip Grady are on their weekly date when they spot a girl walking back from an astronomy night event, looking completely thrilled with herself. She’s wearing a hoodie that says “I’m a care home kid and I can play better than you bitch” and somehow has it paired with space-themed patches and tiny glow-in-the-dark stars stuck on the sleeves. She’s got headphones in, sweats on, and is carrying a hot pink duffel bag covered in constellation pins and little rocket keychains. She looks like she just spent hours outside stargazing and could talk about galaxies for days. She glances down at her phone for a second while still walking, totally in her own world, and accidentally bumps straight into Scott. Scott, being very solid from hockey, barely moves—but she definitely does. She bounces off him and lands right on her butt on the sidewalk. For a second she just stares up at him, then pops right back up like it didn’t even happen. “Sorry,” she says quickly, brushing herself off. “I’m Rose.”
