## Biography

### Superman stunt

Annabelle and Jacob attend Nathan's party, where she remarks that Nathan sure knows how to throw a party and look good while doing it, despite the fact that Naomi broke up with him after five dates. Naomi feigns confusion and rushes to the dance floor.

The following day, Annabelle texts Naomi about a stunt in the Square involving Superman. However, she misses the encounter and asks Annabelle for the details. Annabelle recounts seeing Superman fighting a blue villain in the sky, and her story is backed by several others who saw the same.

In search of answers, they got to Lourdes, who runs the comic book shop, but she knows nothing of the stunt either. As Naomi becomes more determined to get to the bottom of the stunt, Annabelle is becoming more worried that she's too invested. However, Naomi suspects that something bigger is amidst, and after fainting at the debate and running into Zumbado in the forest, who Naomi suspects was behind the stunt, they stage a break-in at Zumbado's dealership to retrieve the disk Naomi found in the forest. Unfortunately, their efforts are unsuccessful, as Zumbado returns before they can crack the safe.

### 2004 UFO crash

Annabelle hesitantly assist Naomi as she begins her investigation into the 2004 UFO sighting over Port Oswego. Jacob drives them to Falls Creek, which they believe to be the crash site, but short of taking some photos, they leave empty-handed. However, Naomi does reveal to Annabelle that Dee claims that both she and himself are aliens from another planet and that Superman is real, leaving Annabelle speechless until she questions why Naomi is so persistent in proving superheroes aren't real.

After developing the photos and gaining a bit more insight on the crash from Steve O'Brien, a local man who witnessed the 2004 sighting, they return to Naomi's, where Annabelle checks in on her best friend, who appears a bit shaken from the entire investigation. Naomi simply wants to be normal, but Annabelle reminds her that she's anything but. She's recites the Serenity Prayer and explains that there are things in life that they simply can't change. While it's okay to be scared, Annabelle advises Naomi to accept her fate. Annabelle and Naomi reconvene with the others and discover the mill previously mentioned by Steve. They get a ride from Lourdes to the mill, where they discover markings on the wall but leave immediately after due to Zumbado's arrival.

### Helping Naomi discover her truth

After speaking with some college reps, Annabelle and Naomi trick Mrs. Anderson into confronting Zumbado after claiming that he sold Annabelle's mom a car 20% off. They accompany her, and while he's distracted with Mrs. Anderson on the lot, Annabelle acts as lookout whilst Naomi uses her powers to break into Zumbado's safe and steal back the disk. With the disk in their possession, they attend the tour of Central Oregon, where they sneak into the geology lab to perform tests on the disk. However, the machine malfunctions and they are apprehended.

Despite Naomi being grounded, as her "ride or ride," Annabelle joins her to investigate the underground bomb shelter, where Naomi suspects the translation key for the disk is buried, a theory that proves to be true, however, the translation key is lodged beneath rocks, forcing Naomi to use her powers in an already unstable tunnel. When the surrounding walls begin to collapse, they retreat.

Annabelle learns from Naomi that her parents have known all along that she's an alien. They even took Naomi to the site where they found her after she fell from the sky. Annabelle is surprised by how well Naomi has taken this all in, given that her parents have been lying to her, her entire life. Naomi reasons that her parents telling her the truth and her doing the same has made everything go back to normal and there are no more secrets.

When Annabelle learns that Zumbado simply handed over the disk to Naomi upon request, she questions why, but Naomi is more concerned with cracking the code that was carved into the disk, for which they need a Turing machine, which they gain access to by participating in an escape room. And later, she and Jacob attend the open mic, during which Naomi answerers questions for the presidential run.

### Camp Shadow Ridge

Annabelle and her friends go on a camping trip to Camp Shadow Ridge, where Naomi is hopeful she can just be a normal teenager, but Annabelle isn't certain it will be that easy, though she's supportive nonetheless and joins Naomi and Anthony in their investigation to uncover the truth about the strange happenings at camp that seem to date back to an old researcher named Belinda. After a bit of asking around, they sneak out to Belinda's cabin at night, only to be caught by Director Richard, who puts them on chore duty as punishment, though they did manage to sneak away with a camcorder they found in Belinda's cabin, and after stealing a charger from the Science Cabin, they learn that Belinda came in contact with a blue substance and was attacked in the woods. While she agrees with Nathan that it has become too dangerous for them to investigate, she pushes for Naomi to do so on her own, as she's at least protected by her powers. She also pushes Naomi to be more open with Nathan after having spoken to him in the cabin.

### Returning to the mill

Annabelle attends the Homecoming committee meeting despite not being a member of any club, claiming that she's a member at large. She then joins Naomi after she decides to return to the old mill, where they were last followed by Zumbado. However, upon their return, they discover that the alien writing that once covered the wall is now gone. Although, Naomi does discover a new ability. Her x-ray vision, allows her to see through the wall, revealing a hidden room, where they find the spaceship she crashed to earth in, leading Annabelle to question how Naomi ended up on a rock if she crashed in a spaceship, which she intends to find out by with help from Dr. Bell, a physicist who specializes in string theory and works at S.T.A.R. Labs.

### Teaming up with Dee

After stopping by Naomi's and discovering that she's missing, as she neither showed up at the game nor have her parents seen her, Annabelle goes to Dee's shop in search of clues. However, she finds Dee instead and reveals to him that Naomi may be in trouble. She asks if he can find her with his wings, but he can't. While Annabelle doesn't know where Naomi went, she does know that Naomi had another run in with Zumbado. So, they stop by the dealership, where Dee finds blueprints from S.T.A.R. Labs and Annabelle reveals that Naomi went there to meet with Dr. Bell. However, according to Dee, Dr. Bell and S.T.A.R. Labs have been doing some dangerous research. So, they rush over to save Naomi and bring her home, during which time, an enthusiastic Annabelle discusses possible team names, but Dee tells her not to make a habit of it. However, he does tell her that if she ever needs him, that she knows where to find him and that she's a good friend, who Naomi is lucky to have.

### At odds with Naomi

Annabelle becomes fearful after learning that Naomi and her parents are considering leaving Port Oswego to protect Naomi from the impending danger, but Annabelle has faith that Naomi can handle whatever comes her way. They return to Naomi's house, where they discover that someone broke into her room and stole her disk. This leads Naomi on an alien hunt to S.T.A.R. Labs, which Annabelle offers to assist with, but Naomi goes on her own. After learning from Jacob that he not only knows that Naomi is an alien but that they also went on an alien hunting mission together, Annabelle demands to know why Naomi is shutting her out. Naomi never had a best friend until she met Annabelle, and she would never forgive herself if something were to happen to her. Annabelle understands that she's scared, but tells Naomi that she should've given her the chance to make her own decisions. Despite their fight, Annabelle attends Greg and Jen's anniversary party, where she and Naomi make up before learning from Jacob that there's another alien at the party.

### Finding the alien

Annabelle, Jacob, and Naomi discuss the alleged alien among them. Whoever it is, they need to find out before the party is over. So, they start checking alibis for the people on her street the night that her disk was stolen. They go through the party and gather the social media names of those in attendance, which Jacob uses to triangulate their location three nights ago to determine who was on Naomi's block when the disk was stolen. By the end, their three main suspects are Nathan, Anthony, and Lourdes. Hesitant to believe that any of their friends are the alien, they have to at least rule them out, so Annabelle, Jacob, and Naomi manage to do this by tricking their friends into playing a game of "Never Have I Ever" while Naomi uses her super senses to act as a human lie detector. But this fails to gain them any answers or bring them closer to learning the identity of the alien.

Luckily, Jacob has a breakthrough. In Dr. Bell's research, she hypothesized that aliens might emit a unique energy that would distort photographs. If viewed with the right exposure, their eyes would emit a blue glow, but only on film and if it's processed with a specific chemical solution, which they can get from the dark room at school. Naomi simply needs Annabelle and Jacob to keep everyone put until she returns. So, they claim that there's a surprise main event coming up and seek out Dee's help for the murder mystery game. However, the party eventually ends, with only Annabelle and Jacob remaining, until Naomi returns from the school and thanks them for their help.

After learning that Jen and Greg are aliens, Annabelle allows Naomi to stay at her house for a few days, as she feels as though she can no longer trust her parents, but Annabelle reminds Naomi that they're still her parents and that they love her. After going into the woods and finding a strange cube hidden within Naomi's birth rock, they return home, where Annabelle gets her sister Sophie ready for school and Naomi reveals her plan to skip school in search of answers, though before leaving, she asks if Annabelle can pick a few things up from her house. To Annabelle's surprise, Jen is home when she arrives and immediately begins inquiring about Naomi, though Annabelle doesn't want to get involved, forcing her to leave abruptly as Jen begins crying.

Annabelle and Sophie visit Dee at the tattoo shop, as she needs his help with getting some stuff from Naomi's house after she failed to do so herself. She loves the McDuffies, given that they're like a second family to her, but Annabelle feels as though she's failed Naomi. After some words of encouragement from Dee, Annabelle meets with Naomi and Lourdes at the old shipyard for a party. After Naomi gets into a fight with another alien, they return to Annabelle's, where Naomi begins packing her stuff, prepared to confront her parents, though she does thank Annabelle for always being a good friend.

### Prom

Annabelle and Jacob attend prom with Naomi and Nathan. Unfortunately, there appears to be a blackout not long after their arrival, which Naomi discovers to be the source of alien activity after having tracked a humming sound to a vent in the bathroom, revealing that there's a force field around the school. With their phones down, they try to make contact with Dee on his CB radio by stealing a radio from the main office, where Annabelle remarks that she and Jacob are like *Mr. and Mrs. Smith*, minus the killing. They fortunately manage to get in contact with Dee, though only briefly before being interrupted by Naomi's assailant, Julian, who tells her to come to the east wing alone, which she does, against Annabelle's advisement. When Annabelle, Jacob, and Nathan go searching for her, they end up trapped in a room, forcing Naomi to choose between saving them from being incinerated by a force field or saving the junior class. Thankfully, she doesn't have to pick and manages to save everyone.

### Searching for the energy source

Annabelle joins Naomi on a road trip to Nevada to hopefully find a rumored energy source to amplify Naomi's powers. They stop at a diner to grab something to eat and reminisce over old times, when life was normal. However, they're forced to leave in a hurry when Naomi has a vision about a red-eyed alien assassin. They get back on the road but are forced to pull into a motel not long after due to Annabelle's car overheating. There, Naomi asks if Annabelle wishes she could go back to life before the Superman stunt, which she doesn't. Naomi then has another vision of the alien assassin going door-to-door in search of her. So, they pull the fire alarm and sneak out to the car. Before long, they arrive at the field, but so does Naomi's assassin. They fight in the field, but he flees once he realizes that Naomi can't be killed. Naomi then uses the locket Akira gave her and the disk to open a portal in the field to Earth-29.

Annabelle and Naomi head over to Dee's after Naomi's parents are taken and Zumbado is nowhere to be found. However, they discover that Dee is missing too, likely meaning that Julian and the Assassin are going after her loved ones. So, Annabelle and Naomi go searching for their friends and bring them back to Dee's shop, where Jacob uses his alien tracking device to find Naomi's guardians. Naomi initially attempts to rescue them without the help of her friends, but they insist that they're a team and join Naomi at the warehouse, where they pelt Julian with paintballs, and shut off the power, as well as the dampening technology. Despite taking down their enemies and rescuing everyone, Naomi still decides to go through the portal to confront Brutus, resulting in a heart-felt exchange between her and Annabelle.
