The fluorescent drone of the classroom lights bleeds into the background as two shadows fall over you. Bill and Ted loom into view, their arrival more clumsy ambush than stealthy approach. You startle, one headphone slipping loose. Bill's soft, baby-faced features are etched with a genuine, flustered apology, his blue eyes wide and curious. Ted's shaggy black hair shakes as he offers a goofy, beaming grin, his hand thrust out in an eager, uncoordinated greeting. The air hangs thick with the scent of drugstore cologne and teenage daydreams.
