First Day of Freedom

**First Day of Freedom** is the first episode of Alijah and Logan, thus beginning its first season. Due to it having two parts that take up the entire episode, it's 20 minutes long and it doesn't have any new separate episodes.

## Synopsis

**Part 1 -** Alijah and Logan are finally done with school, ready to kick back, relax and enjoy their young, easygoing lives. Then comes the question: what do they do now? This leads them to a practical crisis as they venture their neighborhood to find out what to do... all while causing mayhem across Block Block.

**Part 2 -** After a large set of trouble-making, Alijah and Logan lose their most prized possession they share with one another: their Vintage Man action figure. Once they find out the Cooper Kids stole it, the two must go over to their house and get it back by a pool battle.

## Trivia

* Despite being the first episode, the real pilot can be seen here.
	+ Due to the series taking place during the entirety of summer, both of these scripts have the same plot, with the main difference being that the actual first episode has Alijah and Logan on the screen more than the others.
* This is where the main cast makes their grand appearances, each being based off their interactions with Alijah and Logan.

## Transcript

### Part 1

**Narrator:** Whatchamacallit, Texas.

(The screen shows a sign with the name of the town as multiple cars pass by)

**Narrator:** It's a beautiful place.

(Two people crash into each other and start fighting)

**Narrator:** ...for the most part. It's one of the only two cities located in the Navarro County, with the second one being but a posse of perfectionists. This one, however, was more unique. Sure, it had its flaws...

(We see a background building on fire as a policeman writes a ticket to a trucker, of which was strangling a duck while cars behind him honked aggressively)

**Narrator:** ...but it makes up for it in surprise, if that helps anything. But the big city isn't where everything takes place.

(Everything turns pitch black)

**Narrator:** No.

(A man yells "Whitish?!")

**Narrator:** Dummy.

(A whistling tune can be heard as we see a clip of a sun rising. Then, we'd see a nice view of a city block, which involves kids playing around, adults relaxing, and a ball being sent to high that it knocked down an animated bird.)

**Narrator:** Nope. This is Block Block, the real place where we can see our heroes live and thrive in for entertainment. That's how shows work, am I right? Yeah, I know. You don't have to answer.

(Finally, we open up to our one protagonist, Alijah, outside and about to walk into his house)

**Alijah:** Since school is over, I gotta tell Logan the news!

(As he ran to his house, the Narrator kept on, well, narrating)

**Narrator:** Obviously, if you seen the preview, he's not the only main character. He may the brains, but brains aren't fit without brawn, which we'll see in a minute.

(On the inside of the house, the view pans to it being opened by Alijah, who confidently walks through it, switching sides once it closes up on his shirt, and then encountering a hyperactive Jackson)

**Jackson:** Alijah, you're here!

**Alijah:** (He picked him up) Heeeey, buddy! (He then put him down) Hold on, I-I gotta talk to Logan real quick!

(Then, he passed Britteny, who was on the stove watching TV with the kids)

**Britteny:** Hi, Alijah! Logan's in his room!

**Alijah:** Thanks for telling me, Brit!

**Savannah:** (Comes out of nowhere) Hi, Awijah!

**Alijah:** Hey, Savannah! (He picks her up and holds her in the air) Who's my little baby cousin? You are! You are! ...Oh yeah, Logan!

(While he put Savannah down and ran through the room, Peyton looked at him running, confused)

**Peyton:** What's he doing this time?

(We then zoom back to Alijah, who opened the door to his friend's room and said-)

**Alijah:** Hey, dude! Guess what? School's out! We're finally able to hang out together without any school work!

(Logan would then turn around from his chair, smiling without a word until he finally spoke)

**Logan:** ...Chickens!

**Alijah:** Huh?

(He went over to Logan, who was playing TowerDay)

**Logan:** It's a chicken!

(The screen shows a chicken, who was dead)

**Logan:** ...Oh. Hey, Alijah.

**Narrator:** Yep, that's his brawns. Together, they were a tight team, and never separated for anything. *This* is a healthy relationship.

(As the narrator spoke, Alijah ran to Logan, then the two did their signature handshake, which was a row of them slapping their hands twice, bumping their fists on top of one another one by one, preforming a fist bump, and then shoulder-bumping into each other)

**Logan:** I love that handshake!

**Alijah:** It *is* a neat handshake. Now then, what shall we do now that it's summer?

**Logan:** I dunno, what do you wanna do?

**Alijah:** I have no frick-frackin' idea.

**Logan:** ...Let's go eat!

(We then cut to them raiding the fridge in the kitchen)

**Britteny:** What are you getting?

**Logan:** We don't know yet.

**Alijah:** Yeah, we're just looking for food.

**Britteny:** Want some pizza later?

**Alijah & Logan:** Yes, please!

**Britteny:** ...Well, I could give you some for dinner, but for now, Josh told me to feed you the leftovers we have in the freezer.

**Logan:** Aww. Okay, we'll eat it.

**Britteny:** Good. Now where did I put my phone?

(She walks off into another room, looking for it despite it being in her back pocket)

**Alijah:** Should we tell her that it's in her pocket? (He turned to Logan, but he wasn't there) ...Logan?

(Alijah looked around, curious, until the screen pans out to Logan, who is seen scarfing everything in the fridge. Alijah looked down, shaking his head with a small grin, before we cut to them sitting on the couch, sighing in relief)

**Logan:** It's nice to sit down and not having paperwork shoved down your throat.

**Alijah:** Yeah... and to breathe without having to claw your way through a crowd of drama-spreading turds.

**Alijah & Logan:** Just some time to ourselves.

(A short while of silence follows as Alijah drifts off into space and Logan falls asleep, snoring)

**Narrator:** But then, he realized something.

**Alijah:** ...Hey, Logan?

(Still asleep)

**Alijah:** Logan!

(Nothing)

**Alijah:** ... (Sigh) All-you-can-eat buffet.

**Logan:** (Immediately wakes up) YES!

**Alijah:** ...Logan.

**Logan:** Yeah, bro?

**Alijah:** Aren't we supposed to be doing a show?

**Logan:** A show? ...Maybe we're already in it.

**Alijah:** Well, yeah... maybe. But I have this strange feeling that something unexpected is about to ruin our summer.

**Logan:** ...Really?

**Alijah:** Yeah. But... I won't let it. Nothing'll ruin our summer. We're gonna have a great time!

**Logan:** Yeah!

(After a while, they gained a relaxed expression and sighed in relief)

**Alijah & Logan:** Summer time...

(...)

**Logan:** What do we do now?

**Alijah:** Uhh...

(the intro plays)

(Alijah and Logan were on the couch, thinking about what to do)

**Logan:** Got any ideas?

**Alijah:** I dunno, man. We've been in school so long that our brains have been turned into standardized tests.

**Logan:** We just need to crumble those tests into paper airplanes.

(That's when it hit them... at the same time)

**Alijah & Logan:** Paper airplane war!

(Both of them ran into their room and started to dig for paper)

**Narrator:** You see, these two are one tight pair of friends. Ideas mostly hit them at the same time, and that's how well they work together. Enthusiastic, free-as-the-wind, unlike the other young, modern-day jack-holes obsessed with internet popularity- I mean, kids.

(You hear yelling in the background)

**Narrator:** Don't correct me, Phil!

(Logan finds a collection of paper)

**Logan:** I got it!

**Alijah:** Awesome work, dude. Now let's turn these bad boys into airplanes... FOR WAR!

**Logan:** Roger-dodger, Alijah.

(Like so, he would begin to fold the papers into paper airplanes in an instant)

**Alijah:** It is complete! ...YOINK! (He grabs some from his hands and runs into the distance, chuckling) Gotta be more swift, bro!

**Logan:** ...Swift is my second middle name next to Cheeseburger, my guy!

(He would chase Alijah in hot pursuit, only to find him nowhere to be seen. Looking around, confused, he was unaware of what awaited him...)

**Alijah:** KA-BLOWEY!

*BOOM!*

(Alijah threw a paper airplane at Logan, which rammed right into his head and launched him into the wall, in which a painting ensued)

**Logan:** Ow...

(In the next scene, he would jump right out of it, unscathed)

**Logan:** Alrighty then, bro! If it's war you want, then who am I to try and stop you?...

(He gets out loads of paper airplanes)

**Logan:** ...except for the almighty Logan?!

**Alijah:** Uhm, dude? I think you meant-

(Alijah was bombarded with loads of paper airplanes)

**Logan:** Aw yeah!

(Alijah slowly rose from the back of the couch, holding a green paper airplane and aiming it at Logan)

**Alijah:** Eat this.

(He threw it at Logan as it traveled slowly, only to fall in front of him. It would normally be weak to someone with common sense, but with Logan?)

**Logan:** Aah! A dangerous attack!

(It started sizzling)

**Logan:** ...Uh, dude? Your dangerous attack is lagging.

**Alijah:** (from behind the couch) Press the button!

**Logan:** Oh yeah.

(He does as Alijah says and presses the button on his green airplane)

*BOOM!!!*

(The explosion was viewed from outside the house as smoke came out of the windows, and even the chimney. Inside the house, however, no damage was done... except for Logan being reduced to ashes)

**Alijah:** Dude? Where are ya?

(Alijah would slide to Logan, only for him to be a pile of ashes as well)

**Logan:** ...That was awesome.

(In the next scene, Alijah and Logan sat on the couch, now in their normal human forms)

**Alijah:** Now what?

**Logan:** ...Ooh, I know! Let's go play outside.

**Alijah:** Genius!

(They high-five, only for the screen to pan outside, with Alijah and Logan playing catch with a ball)

**Logan:** Huh. Who knew catch would be such a good idea?

**Alijah:** I know right?

(They kept playing catch)

**Logan:** Think fast! (He throws it at Alijah with high velocity)

**Alijah:** (He catches it) Thought of! HA! (He would toss it back)

**Logan:** Neat hand movement. (He catches it) TAKE THIS!!!

(Logan accidentally threw it into the sky, having it blow away clouds, knock out a bird, bounce off an airplane that would be sent into the distance, and ram into Earth's satellite)

**Alijah:** ...Maybe we should practice your aim before we keep playing catch.

**Logan:** Yeah...

(Alijah thought to himself, coming up with an idea as he walks inside, leaving Logan to keep looking up in the sky. Alijah calls for him)

**Alijah:** Logan! Come on, I have an idea!

**Logan:** It's a bird!

**Alijah:** Dude!

**Logan:** Coming!

(Before Logan could move, the ball landed on his head and bounced into the air, having him fall to the floor while the ball flew in front of the screen, causing a transition. In the next scene, Alijah and Logan were next to a door)

**Logan:** Are you sure we should ask Peyton?

**Alijah:** Sure! Besides, when has she ever been mean to us?

(Logan shrugged as Alijah knocked on the door, revealing a not-so happy Peyton)

**Peyton:** What do you two want?

**Alijah:** We were wondering if we could hang out with you.

**Peyton:** Maybe some other time. I'm busy right now. (She shuts the door on them)

**Logan:** Maybe we should try that again.

(Logan knocks on the door, as Peyton answers again)

**Peyton:** What?

**Logan:** Please?

**Peyton:** No. (She does so again)

**Logan:** Well that didn't work.

**Alijah:** Of course it didn't.

**Logan:** Ooh, I know! Let's say 'please'!

**Alijah:** No, we need something simpler... and cunning. (He thinks for a while, until he finally knocks on the door again)

**Peyton:** (She answers) What now?

**Alijah:** Wanna play tag?

**Peyton:** No. (She was close to shutting the door, until-)

**Logan:** Wait!

**Peyton:** (She sighs) What is it?

**Logan:** Please?

**Peyton:** You said that last time. (She tried to shut it again-)

**Alijah:** How about freeze tag?

**Peyton:** No.

**Alijah:** Theeeen tic-tac-toe?

**Peyton:** No.

**Logan:** Hopscotch?

**Peyton:** No.

**Logan:** Chingaling! (He says in anger)

**Alijah:** Hide and seek?

**Peyton:** (She hatches an idea) ...Sure!
