As soon as their ship lands, they head to the beach where they meet Amber – a local teen teaching a surf class. Zoey and Kiki convince her to give them a beginner's lesson, but when Zoey borrows Madison's board and surfs the back break, Amber is suspicious. Amber's best friend Luca finds the landing site and with it, some alien technology. Kiki and Zoey are horrified to discover that their plasma card is gone. With Amber's help, they track down the card and quickly head back to the ship. However, Amber's dog gets ahold of the card, causing the ship to implode, leaving Zoey and Kiki stranded. | ||||||||
