As Jack and Melody approached the meteor, they saw that it was nothing more than a dark rock which had smashed into the earth.
Yet, when they approached the alien rock, the strange object started to glow an odd blue color, which was very bright!
Jack and Melody became scared and they were about to turn around and run away from the glowing rock, when two laser beams shot from the alien object, striking both teens in their backs.
The teens continued to run as far as they could, reaching the banks of a river, when they were both overcome by an intense tingling sensation. This was when they both first discovered how the laser beam from the alien rock had changed them.
