Angel & Emerald & OJ

Angel & Emerald & OJ is the friendship between Angel Torres, Emerald Haywood and OJ Haywood from the Nope fandom.

Canon
Emerald, OJ and Angel were residents of Agua Dulce, California. OJ and Emerald owned a ranch while Angel was an electronics store employee. Eventually, OJ and Emerald realised that a UFO had been taken their horses. They then went to an electronic store in order to purchase security cameras, where they met Angel, who was a ufologist. When he asked them why they wanted to buy the security cameras, they told him about how they had been experiencing blackouts, with even their cell phones failing. Angel then explained that cell phones wouldn't just stop working unless they were in a UFO hot spot. After setting up the cameras, he demonstrated them to OJ. They then helped Emerald set up a UFO statue in the middle of the field. Suspicious, Angel queried the the siblings on what they were planning. However, they refused to tell him.

The next day, Angel returned to the ranch, telling them he had seen something through their cameras. Emerald responded by telling him that him checking their cameras was illegal. He then showed them that their cameras had recorded a cloud which didn't move at all. They then recalled how the UFO didn't move like a spaceship. Later, when Angel was driving to the ranch, his van stopped working. Realising that the alien had arrived, he ran into the house and hid there with Emerald. OJ later saved both Emerald and Angel from the UFO, which they had by then figured out was the alien, by getting intp Angel's van and driving them away from the ranch. They then had dinner in an eatery in the town. After dinner, OJ tried convincing Emerald and Angel to continue pursuing the alien.

The next day, they met up with cinematographer Antlers Holst, who had agreed to help film the alien, at the ranch. They then gathered equipment to use in their plan to capture the alien on film. During dinner, Angel tried to lift their spirits by convincing them that capturing the alien on film would make them rich and famous, as well as heroes. The enacted their plan the next day. However, their plan failed as Antlers and the camera were taken by the alien. At the end, Emerald managed to get clear photos of the alien, with both Angel and OJ surviving.
