| Ok, this role play is based on my fanfic by the same title, "Once Again." The story takes place post season 2, but things didn't end so tragically. It turned out that Alex was never killed because Tess healed him in time. A shapeshifter had taken Tess' place since MITC and had done all of the evil things (e.g., mindwarping Alex, mindwarping Max to think he had sex with Tess and she was having his baby). So after the shapeshifter left, the real Tess, along with Alex, was rescued and the group is whole again. This story is conventional couples.
Several newcomers arrive in town that make the Roswell gang suspicious. Ariel and David Hart move to town with their parents after Mr. Hart is offered a teaching job at Las Cruces University. They know they are gifted with psychic abilities, but don't know their true origins. Kara and David Drake also arrive with their protector Caleb, who raised them from the time they came out of their pods. Ariel, David, Brian, and Kara are the Royal Four of Lysus, the planet the Skins are originally from. Their sun was about to go nova, and so the Antarians took in the Skins. They all lived together in peace, that is, until a skin named Khivar became greedy and wanted the power of the Antarean throne, which led to the civil war. Khivar managed to get both sets of Royal Four killed. The Royal Four of Lysus were recreated on earth as human-skin hybrids. Now they, too, will be caught up in the same battle as Max, Michael, Isabel, and Tess....the battle to save both Earth and Antar...

I'm so glad there's interest in this role play!  We are all going to have such a great time with this
scifidreamer-This role play will be based on the story, but you don't have to read it to understand or take part in the role play. My little summary of the role play is all you need to know . We're not starting where the story left off, we're starting from the beginning and can develop the role play however we'd like. I'd love to have you join in! Just let me know which character(s) you want Whenever you have questions or ideas, feel free to post 'em!
SweetLilDreamer-Maria is yours . I'll add you to the cast list. I didn't like Tess either, at least until season 2. If only she had just let herself give up on the idea of destiny and made her own choices (like being with Kyle so she could be happy and so could everyone else ...She had been brainwashed with a lot of bad stuff from Nacedo, so in this story I wanted Tess to have begun to develop her humanity and make her own choices so that she would be a good person that we would like. There were glimmerings of her potential for that, but the writers just squandered that on the show.

sure i'd love to participate, thanks for responding and for being willing to help. i totally agree with you and your sentiments of Tess and the direction she could have gone in. in S2 by the ARCC i wasn't hating her; i actually thought she was okay. but then HoM happened and all that went down the crapper. and after Departure and what she did to Alex, i hated her with the firey passion of a thousand hells (sorry that's so melodramatic. i've just always wanted to say it when it might actually apply and not just annoy my brother  ).
so since we would both like to see a non-second half of S2 Tess, and we both feel there was potential there for a kinder, better, not-all-obsessed-with-max-and-destiny Tess, i'll play her if that's okay. i just don't want to see a dumb ho tess, like from the show. and i started reading Once Again, just so i could a get a feel for the characters you created. so in running with that is it also okay i pick up Brian Drake? is there a profile of him you can give me, or just a paragraph about how you envision him? if it comes down it i can also be a few of the baddies as well, and which ever other minor characters you might need at the moment. so are we starting at the beginning of S1? i'm really looking forward to this, thank you .

| Scifidreamer-I totally agree with your thoughts on Tess. It'll be nice to have a Tess we can like in this story, so she's all yours . This story is post season 2, but Tess wasn't the one who did any of the horrible stuff that happened. And I'm so glad you want to play Brian, too. I added you to the cast list. As far as the baddies, I put you down for villains, and other people can sign up to play villains along with you. Let me know if you were interested in playing Khivar.
Here's how I envision Brian: Physically, he's tall and has curly/wavy blonde hair and green eyes (all four of the human-skin hybrids have blonde hair and green eyes). I see him as the leader of the four, someone with quiet strength and determination. He is very protective of his twin sister Kara, and of Ariel when he meets her. David and Ariel were separated from Brian and Kara just after they all came out of their pods, so Brian has been dreaming his whole life about finding them again. He shares in common with the other three an interest in astronomy (he has a telescope) and music. He, like the others, has a photographic memory ("scanning), so he can read a book once and remember all the information, so he doesn't have to study. Brian's strongest power is the ability to form shields. I hope that helps . Let me know if you have any other questions about him. [ edited 1time(s), last at 18-Nov-2002 8:07:30 PM ] |

thank you. i'm honored .
is it okay if i make brian's hair dark blonde? and do they all have green eyes, or like can i say brian's eyes look like an ancient forest, dark and full of mystery? (ooh i think i like that). now if eveyone suspected that tess had done all these horrible things i think she needs to prove herself. redeem herself, her reputation. i mean sure it wasn't her, but it's not easy to trust again once it's been obliterated. i think everyone would still be wary of her. how do they know she won't become that person they had to deal with? how do they know she is over the destiny thing? the end of S2 was like everyone's worst nightmare, they've seen it played out, and it wasn't pretty. does that make any sense? i can't remember how you explained EotW? but that's khivar too, right? where do you think the story should pick up? i was just thinking that when tess and are introduced they should be introduced together, like their return to Roswell. and pod squad has plenty of questions, and no answers. how is tess back, and why? why is alex back? what does she have planned now? kinda thing. khivar's a pretty big baddie. now do you want him to be The BIG BAD? or are there other forces out there work, they don't even know about? can i make him truly evil? well thanks for reading. |

| Britt- Max is yours! I'll add you to the cast list
scifidreamer- You bring up great points about Tess and Alex. In the story, they'd been back with the group for awhile already, and everybody knew that an evil shapeshifter had impersonated Tess since MITC and betrayed them all, so there was no distrust of her in the group. Alex had been kidnapped and mindwarped by the shapeshifter for the purpose of translating the destiny book (I had to find a way to follow the show but bring Alex back and have Tess not be evil). I didn't really explain anything about EOTW, although I like the idea of Khivar actually being behind that. In the role play, we can play this however we want. If people want to have distrust as an issue dividing the group, then that could provide added drama. It's up to all of you guys. As for the villains, if you have an idea for even more evil forces at work beyond Khivar and the skins, then by all means, go for it! If you have an idea for The Big Bad, and you want that person to be someone other than Khivar, bring him on! I can't wait to see what you come up with. Oh, and I really like all your ideas for Brian, especially the mysterious quality to his character. They all have green eyes, and I prefer darker to lighter green, so your description of Brian's eyes is perfect. [ edited 2time(s), last at 19-Nov-2002 12:03:29 AM ] |

| since you're the boss lady, and this is based on your fic, which ever direction you decide to start from is a-okay with me.
about the whole khivar being behind EotW, see i was actually thinking someone else did it and he just took advantage of it as a fortuitous event later on. i have other vague ideas in this direction, but i'm not sure if i should post them now, or just let it play itself out. cuz by my talking about all this now, doesn't it kinda of take some of the spontenuity out it? i don't want to ruin anything, so i'll just leave it at, khivar isn't the only one out there. is that okay? i'm glad you liked my ideas for brian. i think i'm going to have with him. brian's kinda like a mystery to himself. (they don't know they're aliens yet, cuz of that gun thingy in the beginning right?) well thanks for your feedback. it's v. helpful, and greatly appreciated.

| I think it'll be fun to just let the story's direction evolve on its own and see where people want to take it. I'm glad you're waiting for your ideas about the villains to reveal themselves at the right time, so the suspense doesn't get ruined by role play "spoilers." .
Oh, I wanted to let you know about Brian and Kara...in the story, they do know who they are because they live with their protector, and he taught them about their past lives and why they are on Earth, all the information that was erased by that weapon. David and Ariel woke up disoriented without any memories, and so they ran off before the others could get back outside the cave to find them after the battle. So David and Ariel are the ones who don't know that they're aliens. In the role play, though, it's up to you. If you want, Brian and Kara may also be kept in the dark about the fact that they're aliens. Maybe Caleb thinks the best way to keep them safe and keep their enemies from finding them is to keep them from all knowledge of who they are. Caleb could be quite the man of mystery himself, seeming to be this incredibly normal person giving his adopted children a very normal life (like Isabel, playing the part of this ultranormal person to perfection). However you want to play Brian is up to you. |

I've been restraining from joining RPGs cause sometimes my mind goes bonkers and my scheadule ties me up... but if you let me be a part of this I promise to try my hardest to post as often as possible! This is a great idea with awesome potential! I'm interested in Isabel! Is that ok? If so... are we talking season one Isabel? Total ice queen? Or season 2 Isabel? Christmas Nazi, opening up to Alex, developing a kind of soul Isabel? Let me know! And I'll check in! This is awesome!

| Hi, Selena! Welcome to the role play . I'm so glad you're interested in this story! Isabel is yours, and I'll add you to the cast list. As far as the Isabel character, I see her as the way she was in the second half of season 1, where she allows herself to let her ice princess facade melt and open herself up to Alex (and Liz and Maria and Kyle). I don't like how in season 2, she totally withdrew from Alex and blew him off except as a friend.
By the way, I have a question for the group....are my pictures working? I had to save them and then use the saved file names for the pics because the website links for both of them became broken. Since the files are now from my computer, I was just wondering if anyone else besides me can see them properly. Thanks!

hey, finally i get on. it took me forever. this page wouldn't show up, it was so busy. all right i'm glad you think i should hold. definitely don't want to "spoil" things. quote: hmmmmm, i like your idea. do you think there is some way we could incorporate both versions? i think it would be a nice contrast for brian and kara to have some knowledge of who, or at least what, they are. Maybe Caleb thinks the best way to keep them safe and keep their enemies from finding them is to keep them from all knowledge of who they are. i'm totally feeling this. when i read it, i was like "wow, this opens up so may possibilities." can i be Caleb as well? btw i can the picture at the bottom of your post. who else do you picture when you envision the other characters you created? well thanks for reading this. |
| posted on 20-Nov-2002 9:35:24 AM by Elizabeth Evans |
| scifidreamer- You can definitely be Caleb. I really like how we can combine both of our ideas, with Brian and Kara knowing a little about their origins but mostly being kept in the dark by Caleb to keep them safe.
Let's see...who do I picture for the other characters...? I'd had other people in mind for Ariel (like Alexz Johnson or Clare Danes) but chose this pic instead because it worked for both this role play and the Buffy/Roswell crossover. Jonathan Brandis as Brian 
Maybe Clare Danes as Kara... 
Maybe Erik Von Detten as David 
Hehe, I could totally see Ewan McGregor as Caleb... 
These are just my thoughts. Feel free to pick your own pictures to represent your characters. [ edited 11time(s), last at 20-Nov-2002 3:34:16 PM ] |

oh my god!!!! if Ewan McGregor is Caleb, he definitely needs a sweetie. god, he is so hot. he totally kicks ass as a young Obi Wan Kenobi (i would have been all over that if i was a female character in Star Wars ). and he was freakin' fine in Moulan Rouge. that movie was awesome............and so sad. beautiful.
wow. so what made you choose him as Caleb, other that the total hotness factor? |
| posted on 20-Nov-2002 9:02:23 PM by Elizabeth Evans |
| The hotness factor was definitely part of it , and also something about the aura of him in Star Wars episode II made me think of Caleb. It's difficult to explain; it just felt right.
And you're right, Caleb definitely needs a sweetie . Ok, so we need a Kyle, a David, and a sweetie for Caleb. I'll play Kyle and/or the sweetie, or at least temp for them until someone takes over those parts. I just don't want to play David, because when Ariel is talking to her brother I don't want to be having a conversation with myself. |
| posted on 20-Nov-2002 11:19:43 PM by Elizabeth Evans |
| Ok, guess what? We're getting started!! Whoever wants to can temp for Kyle, David, or Caleb's sweetie (Any suggestions for her name?). I'll do any temping that I have to do until someone signs up for those characters. I'd just prefer if someone else would play David. Anyway, here goes..
______________________________________________ *Ariel* I wake up slowly from that dream again, the dream of my brother David and I running lost and scared through the woods when we were five years old. That was the night we found our family, when Mom and Dad drove up and took us home to live with them. We were two small scared kids who didn't have any memory of who we were or what had happened before. That was twelve years ago. Ironic how I have that dream whenever I face some kind of separation, like summer break or when David or I would go off to camp or something. Now I'm facing the biggest separation of my life. Dad was offered a teaching position at Las Cruces University, so we're all moving from Pennsylvania to a small town in New Mexico called Roswell. I'm really proud of Dad, but it really sucks to have to leave all my friends whom David and I have known since Kindergarten. Tears well up in my eyes again just thinking about how I won't graduate with them. I sigh and throw the covers back, deciding that it's time to face the morning. Just then, the alarm goes off and Anggun's song "Snow on the Sahara" plays. I can't help but smile through my tears. The song is totally perfect for the occasion. I begin to sing the lyrics as I get ready for the day. Soon, Mom calls me and David down to breakfast. Before I leave my room for the final time, I take a moment to remember the room as it was before everything was packed away. Finally, I know it's time, and I turn away and head downstairs. ***** Hours later, we arrive in Roswell. Mom and Dad drove the moving van with all our belongings, and David and I followed in the car. It's been a long day, and I'm famished. Thankfully, Mom and Dad have the same idea, because they pull into a little diner called the Crashdown. David and I pull into the space next to them, and we all get out. Oh, it feels so good to be outside and to stretch! We head into the diner and sit down. It's really a cute restaurant, with an alien theme to the decor. The waitresses even wear little silver antennaes! Cute as long as you're not the one who actually has to wear it. The menus are at the table, so we each take one to look through. I smile as I notice that even the items on the menu have alien names. Hmm...the Will Smith burger and Saturn Rings looks good. Moments later, our waitress comes over to the table... [ edited 3time(s), last at 11-Dec-2002 11:31:28 PM ] |

If the sweetie is a new character, I would love to hear any ideas you have for her (that is assuming I get her). This looks like it would be a fun RPG to work on. |

I walk into the Crashdown quickly,hoping to get to talk to Isabel if she comes in.Everything has been different ever since we all found out that Tess wasn't really evil.Ever since I found out she hadn't been mindwarping me.Not really her.A shapeshifter.Questions have been answered and I'm ready to start my senior year at Roswell High mindwarp free.But there's one thing I still can't get out of my mind.Isabel.There have been times over the last couple of months where I think we're a couple.Then sometimes I don't.I feel torn.I love isabel.I've always loved her,but somehow I feel I'm always pinning for her.I always get hurt.I just want to talk to her about what's going on.I notice some new people enter the Crashdown.The girl and the boy look my age.I've seen alot of new people in Roswell recently.Maybe it's the new "hot" place to live.I laugh to myself.Nah...Roswell is no New York. ~~Kara~~ I open the door to our house quickly.Our house.Mine,Caleb's,and Brian's.I walk in quickly notice that Brian's sitting infront of the tv.I sigh."Brian...have you been sitting here since I left this morning?"I ask.He doesn't answer so I pick a pillow up and throw it at his head and laugh."You're turning into a couch potato,bro,"I joke as I sit down next to him. |

********* She looked up at the door as she heard the bell jingle. Alex just walked into the Crash. God she still didn't get how he could be so understanding. If half the shit happened to her, that happened to him, she would be out for blood. Hell, she was gonna make sure those shape shifters paid. She just regreted that they hadn't been able to get any supplemental info outta the guy before he died. Sho looked around, and when she noticed Liz walking to a table of people she'd never seen before, she called Alex over to the counter. He was probably looking for one of two people: Maria or, most likely, Isabel. She made a mental to find out more about the new family that arrived. She hated acting paranoid but this last year truly struck home the axiom 'Better safe than sorry'. "Hey Alex, how're you doing?" she tentively asked. Don't be fool, no one blames you, she wordless repeated. [ edited 2time(s), last at 4-Dec-2002 8:58:02 PM ] |

********** "Man, what you'd throw that for?" I ask rubbing my head. "And I'll have you know, I did get up. Had to fix myself something to eat, not that you care, seeing as how you just up and left without me. AND you're not considered a couch potato if you watch educating television, like I have been doing. The Discovery channel is having a special on the ending of the Pliocene era and the beginning of the Pleistocene." Well she's not paying any attention I grab the big couch cushion beside me, and then throw it on top of her, trapping her bewteen the cushion and the couch. "Say I'm sorry for thinking little of you BIG brother and for abandoning you to the wilds of Roswell," he said with an emphasis on the word big. "Say it or I'll tickle you!" |

Let me know if you want more guidance than that. I'm sure I could think of something...
You guys' posts have been so awesome! I'm loving this!
-------------------------------------------------- *Ariel* I smile at our waitress, Liz, as she introduces herself. Mom and Dad order, then it's my turn. "I'd like the Will Smith Burger, Saturn Rings, and a cherry coke. Oh, and can we get a bottle of tabasco sauce, please?" I notice the look of apprehension Liz gives me about the tabasco sauce, but before I can wonder about it, she pastes a carefully neutral expression on. Then she's focusing on David because it's his turn to order. So now I'm not sure if I was just imagining that expression.... [ edited 1time(s), last at 21-Nov-2002 10:21:03 PM ] |

I watch as Tess comes over.I don't have mind reading powers,but I can tell that Tess feels bad.I know it's not her fault.I don't blame her at all."Hey...well...I think I'm doing fine considering I lost 30 bucks to Maria last night,playing poker...,"I joke.Tess smiles.I sigh."Listen,I don't want you to feel bad,ok?I don't blame you at all!And the sad sorry Tess is alot less fun then normal Tess,"I said with a smile. ~~Kara~~ I shake my head."No way..,"I yell.He begins to tickle me and and laugh."Brian...no...come on..ok..ok...I'm so sorry...you are the ruler of the world...we shall all bow down ot you,"I say,partly joking.Brian and I are close.We have always been.Ever since we were little kids.When I'm away from him,I get these dreams.Nightmares,kind of.In the nightmares,I'm always running to him.And then there are these other two kids.They're with him,but I can't seem to reach them.Those nightmares scare me.I remember when I went on my first sleepover,when I was little,and I cried all night because I wanted ot go home to him.I laugh and then see Caleb come in."Hey..,"I say,still laughing as Brian slowly stops. |

| I_LOVE_NICK- I envision David as both sensitive and funny. I don't see him as all that moody. I see him as doing the Isabel thing in terms of keeping relationships with friends superficial. Not in a bad way or anything, but just keeping others at a little bit of a distance by not letting them really get to know the real him. In the story, I saw Ariel as having more of an issue moving to Roswell than David did. The other thing about David is that he firmly is against telling their parents about their psychic abilities. He's worried about what the government might do to them and how their parents might react (e.g., he thinks their parents might reject them). Ariel, on the other hand, wants to tell them. It's the one thing they ever disagree about. But that's just in the story. You can portray him however you want, though Hope that helps!
Scifidreamer- I think pics need to be posted somewhere on a website that you can make an http:// link to. There's no way to upload pictures that I know of. I could be wrong. Does anybody else know? ---------------------------------------------------- *Ariel* I shake my head at Liz's question, indicating that I don't need anything else before my order arrives. Mom and Dad tease me and David about the tabasco sauce. Mom especially teases us, asking if we're going to put the tabasco sauce on our dessert like we usually do. She feigns horror at the fact that her children might actually eat that way in public. I laugh at that and comment, "It's all part of our charm. I know you've learned to love it." |

Tess ********** She gave Alex a small smile, "Maria kickin' ass at poker again?" She shook her head, "Sometimes I think she's the one with powers when she plays any kinda card game. It's uncanny," she chuckled. She took a deep breath, her attitude sobering up, "Hey Alex, I've been meaning to talk to you about ...... you know, what happened? Have you told people what they did? I mean what is what like? Cuz...cuz i really haven't been able to, and, I don't know I guess I was just wondering what you thought and felt, and stuff," she shrugged. "But if you don't want to talk about it or anything I totally understand. So are you looking for Isabel," Tess rapidly changed the subject. She didn't think she could handle the one person who might possiblely be able to understand her, and whose forgivenss she wanted the most, rejecting her need to talk. Rejecting her overture of friendship. As idoitic as it might seem, she felt a bond with Alex. One formed by enduring similar acts of pain and fear, defiance and survival. |

| Brian
******** She's sooooo ticklish! It's great! Sometimes just the threat of tickling her will make her shriek with laughter. I remember when we were younger, Caleb would tickle us to get information out of us. And once, when we were around seven, he said the reason he liked to tickle us and play with us was because of the sound of our laughter. He said children should always smile and laugh. It was our duty. I look up and see Caleb walking in the door, arms filled with groceries, and slowly stop torturing Kara. I push her head into the cushions fast, as i jump away from the couch so she can't reach and try to punch me. I grin at Caleb, "Hey man." [ edited 2time(s), last at 23-Nov-2002 5:50:21 PM ] |

********* "Hey yourself," he says looking over the tops of the grocery bags. Caleb eyes Brian standing beside the forest green couch, wearing what he claims are his lounging cloths, a pair of baggy shorts and a wife beater, and Kara who is laid out on the sofa, pillows piled on top of her. "You two bring in the rest of the bags," he said as walks past them into the kitchen. He settled the bags on the counter and looks around the almost empty kitchen. This is now home. They'd left most of their furniture and appliances when they moved. He opend the fridge door and began putting things away. There was no way they'd be eating a home cooked meal tonight. |

Max walked down the street towards the Crashdown feeling as great as ever! He didn't really sleep with Tess he wasn't really going to be a father and the woman of his dreams was only around 30 seconds away. He could feel her more with every step he took. He walked into the Crashdown the bell on top of the door signaling his arrival. Not that it needed to. The moment Max opened the door Liz turned around and gave him the most brillinat smile. He walked over to where she was waiting on a table and whispered in her ears "I know your busy, but meet me in the back when your done with this table. I've missed you" With that said Max made his way into the break room in the back of the Crashdown Liz came in moments later "Liz" he said as he pulled her against him crushing his lips to hers. britt |

I was shock he wanted to see me, I thought he was with Tess. I go to the back room and he attack me with his lips on to mine, so I kisses back and pull away."Max we can't do this"I told him,I really wanna to but, we cant. I was about to was back when Max grab me. [ edited 1time(s), last at 23-Nov-2002 11:21:31 AM ] |

I watch Ariel smile as she says that to our mom and dad. "Yeah, you guys should try it." I say laughing as my mom scrunches up her nose and my dad pounds his chest as if he has heart burn. I look around the wierd restaurant. "Man, these people are obssessed with aliens." I mutter stealing a glance at Ariel, who nods her head. As I turn around, I see our waitress head into the back room and I can't help but wonder why she looked so weird when are asked for the tabasco sauce. I know that Ariel noticed it too. I make a mental note to bring it up to her later when our parents aren't around. I grin when a different waitress brings us our meals. "Let's see if these people put as much effort into their cooking as they do alien decorations." I say picking up my burger. ****************************************************** OOC: Was that okay? I am still trying to get an idea of what David likes...Please let me know if that is okay!!! |

| That was a great David part! Just perfect
Scifidreamer-I just followed your link to that pic of how you see Brian, and all I can say is...WOW....could he *be* any hotter! *fans self* _____________________________________________ *Ariel* David and I share a glance after our waitress' odd behavior about our asking for tabasco sauce. I make a mental note to talk to him about it later when Mom and Dad aren't around. Soon I push that thought aside for now, as our meals arrive. I grin at David's comment. "It looks delicious!." I exclaim, enticed by the appearance and aroma of the food. Of course, it's typical diner food, but practically anything would taste good right about now. I pour a few packets of sugar into my Cherry Coke and take a sip, then munch on an onion ring. It's so good! Next, I pour some tabasco sauce on my burger, than hand the bottle over to David. Looking around at my family, I can tell they are all enjoying their meals as much as I am. Mom and Dad drift into their own conversation. It's really kind of cute how they can create their own little world. That leaves me and David to talk. "So, what do you think the new house will be like?" I ask David. We hadn't heard too much on the details yet. It took a little while for Mom and Dad to find a house, and this was all taken care of quickly and at the last minute. I'm a little bit nervous about all this. After living in one place our whole lives, would the new place ever feel like home? Would it be open and spacious and pretty? What would my bedroom be like? I wonder if David was feeling this way...a little nervous about it all. I know I was more upset than he was about the move, but now that we were actually here, I have to admit that I was starting to feel some excitement and nervousness about it all, not just sadness and anger about leaving our old life behind.

Alex looked at Tess."Yeah...looking for Isabel.It's time for the much dreaded 'Are we friend or more?' talk,"Alex said with a smile.He paused and went on."Tess,no one blames you for what happened.Not me.Not anyone.I mean all I can focus on was that you saved me.Because life was hell for awhile.No one really knows how it is.It just feels horrible.But it's over.We can move on." ~~Kara~~ Kara got up and picked up some bags.She motioned for David to help.They placed them down on the countertop and looked to Caleb and David."You guys hungry for lunch?I'm starving,"Kara said.She smiled.Caleb and david both knew she didn't eat breakfast.She never could.She got sick if she did.Once Caleb had made this huge breakfast and she had thrown up and felt horrible after she'd eaten it. |

******* She gave him another small smile, "Thanks for everything Alex," she sighed. "Note to self: be more like Alex," she said chuckling. "Maybe I should talk to Kyle about some meditation practices." She shook her head in wonderment. She looked back where Max and Liz had escaped through the back door, "Looks like some people are happy to see eack other," she grinned. She looked bak at Alex, "Hey, don't worry about Isabel. All good things eventually come to be." She frowned momentarily, "Or soemthing like," she shook her head, then nodded towards the table with the new family. "So what's the dilleyo with them? Liz gave them an weird look at one point; good or bad?" she asked. |

******** He looks at Kara with a 'duh' look, before saying, "When isn't Brian hungry?" he snorted at Brian's protestations. "Whatever Brian, go get your butt ready. We need to buy you two whatever furniture and other stuff you guys might need, so why don't you guys go make a quick inventory of what you need and want. And after we eat we'll go look around." He turned back to the fridge, "And you're not getting a new stereo system Kara, the one have is new enough," he said to their retreating backs. |

After I ask David what he thinks the new house will be like, I happen to notice a girl with blond, curly hair and blue eyes looking over this way. She's sitting with a tall dark-haired guy. I give them a smile. It's nice to meet people my age. Maybe they'go to the same school David and I will be starting....what was the name? West Roswell High? I turn my attention back to David to hear his answer to my question. [ edited 1time(s), last at 23-Nov-2002 9:54:59 PM ] |

******* She looks up and sees the new girl smiling at her and Alex. She smiles awkwardly at the girl. What to do what to do? This could be the perfect oppurtunity. She nudges him with her elbow in his side. "Alex," she whispers out of the side of her mouth, "Alex, she smiled at me! What should I do?" she asked him. ********* OCC: Elizabeth Evans, i'm glad you liked the picture . i saw it and thought, now there is Brian. doesn't he kinda look reserved and quiet? that's so how

******** I snicker at Kara. Music is her passion. I mean even more than her other passions, is she passionate about music. That's lot passion going around. She has to have one the most eclectic music collections ever. She has no discrimenating taste. She'll give everything a chance, and will love almost all of it. I give her shoulders a little push forward as we walk away, "Looks like you can't con your way into getting Caleb to buy you everything anymore." She turns and looks at me, one eyebrow raised, and opens her mouth to speak.... Maybe I should hurry to my room? That idea is definitely looking better. ************ OCC: Elizabeth Evans, i'm glad you approve of and like the picture .

Out of the corner of my eye, I can see the blonde girl and the thin dark-haired guy debating something. Reaching out my mind to them but without letting them know I'm doing it, I can sense that they're debating on whether or not to come over to our table to introduce themselves. I hope they decide in favor of that. They look like part of the cool crowd at school, the kind of people David and I were friends with since Kindergarten, and it would be great to have some new friends to go to school with. |

I walk in immediately sensing energy. Hm... weird. I look around and catch sight of Alex and Tess at the counter. Strange sight, after what happened. I'm glad they're coming to terms with it. I still can't believe that he's alive and well. When Alex was gone it really made me reconsider things. Think over my life. I realized I didn't like what it was coming to. Now the trick is to change that. I'm just not sure how. I look over and spot some new family at one of the booths. Since when do new people crowd Roswell?? Where is Max anyway? I head over to Alex and Tess and sigh loudly as I take a seat. "You know, I hate it when stores say they're having a blowout sale and the only thing blowing out is your wallet. I went in for a pair of shoes and ended up with three pairs of jeans, a new purse, two dresses and three pairs of shoes. Too bad it was Max's credit card." I smile and see Tess laugh and Alex's eyes reach mine. I can see the question in them. I already know what this is about. You think I haven't dream walked him in the past week once or twice to find out if he's ok?! Come on now. "What's up guys?" I ask, by now dreading what I know will be a plea to talk. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OOC: Was that ok!?? I love this! It's coming out so well!!! I hope I am getting Isabel right... I don't want her to be too aloof... but she's never really been ms friendly either. |

I saw this new one that completely different! With these realyl cute speakers! Please?"I plead.Caleb shakes his head and I frown."Ok...but I'm not giving up.Can we eat at the Crashdown.I've been craving some Alien Fries,"I say with a smile. |

A tall blonde girl comes into the diner and joins the other two. Yeah, the three of them are definitely in the popular crowd. David and I share a look. I can tell that he wants to be a part of their group just as much as I do. Would it be as easy for us as it was back home? I hoped so. It felt strange to feel so insecure. Normally, I'm a pretty confident person. At least, I can always look as if I am. I make a decision: if they don't come over to our table, I'll bring up the idea with David of going over to them and introducing ourselves. We both want to start school with friends, people we already know. |

"Hey where's that from? Isn't it from a movie or a song or something?" She shakes her head sobering up. She turns around to face Isabel, the look on her face completely serious, "I so know what you mean. Last time I went to Nordy's I lost myself in their reduced price section. I bought two new pairs of sun glasses, three shirts, one beautiful navy angora pull over sweater, and a pair of boots. And I mean all I went in there for, was to price denim jackets." She returns her attention to the new kids. She bites her bottom lip absentmindly, "We gotta find out who the newbies are. We can't just assume they're regular ol' non-Czechs," she bites her finger. "No more assumptions." She squares her shoulders, "Alright, lets move in." She glances up at Isabel, "What did you say that one time at school? We're the Sunshine Committee?"

********* He ignores Kara's pleas for new stereo and focuses on her second request: to eat at the local diner, The Crashdown Cafe. Why did it sound ominous? "Sure," he hollers loud enough for them to hear as they make their way to their rooms. Roswell, New Mexico, alien capital of the U.S.. It was a risk moving here. So cliche yet so fitting. He had raised Kara and Brian from the time they had escaped out the cave. Had tried to nurture their talents, their character, their spirits. Tried to instill values and ethics and morals. But how do you teach one compassion, to be just and fair? Raise two children, who are unlike anything else and are the only half left of a whole, into being the rulers they are meant to be? And how do you do it all without them knowing? How do you do it while lying to them the whole time. It was difficult choice to make. One he secretly doubted and that pained him to make. His decisions shape their lives. He never asked, never wanted, this responsibility. So now they were all were here. And he didn't know how he was sure, but things were coming to an end. Or would that be beginning? He just new it, deep down in his bones, that coming to Roswell was the only choice. Choice. To choose. Their lives would begin in Roswell. He just hoped they didn't end here as well. [ edited 1time(s), last at 25-Nov-2002 4:36:00 AM ] |

I glance at my sister when a tall blonde girl joins the other two across the room. They all smile at each other and look happy, but I also can't help but notice that there is some sort of tension between them. I have a way with these things, but I suppose it is because I am always looking for something... Something that could be considered as a threat. You can never be too careful, espically when you are in a position like me and my sister. But the three of them look okay, like they would be fun and safe to hang around with. I notice that they keep glancing over at us, I know that Ariel notices it too. I wonder if they are going to come over? |

I had just worked a eight hour shift, not that that's bad, but I worked until midnight last night. So I left worked and ran home to get changed. So here I am. I walk in and notice Tess, Alex and Isabel sitting together. I make my way over. "Hey guys. What's up?" **************************************************** OOC: Are Kyle and Tess together? |

******** She looks up purely by chance just as Kyle walks through the door. She can feel a goofy grin try to break free of her control. Stupid senseless smiles. "Hey Kyle," she says, hoping to goddess she sounds nonchalont and uninterested. Why does she have the strong suspicion she sounds just like the Megan character from the SNL skit Wake Up Wakefield, whenever Randy's near by? "We just decided to be the official West Roswell High welcome wagon, and introduce ourselves to the new family over there," she says nodding her head in the direction of the booth where a laughing family is seated. A hundred implications are tacitly conveyed with that simple statement. Everyone locks eyes as a new universal truth is accepted. They know trust will always have to be earned. Tess swallows. It's not your faultIt's not your faultIt's not your fault. She of all people should be the last to make quick assumptions. But somehow, that's not the way it works. She'll do anything to protect her friends, they're the only family she's ever really known. She can't fail them again. ------------------------------------------------------- OCC: i think tess and kyle really like each other, but they're not together yet. esp. cause of that whole body switch. rock on. i'm glad we have figured out who caleb's sweetie is. this is great. i had no idea, how you were going to introduce her, this is so perfect. plus, i like the connection. maybe caleb and nicola can be their Giles? cuz come on, Giles kicks ass. btw how old is caleb, cuz i was thinking early thirties. is that okay? is it cool if nicola is older than him? maybe she can teach him a few things *wink wink nudge nudge* lol. can't wait to meet her.

I grin at Alex's introduction. "Hi, I"m Ariel. It's good to meet you, Alex. So, do you all go to West Roswell High?" I ask casually, hoping that we'll all be going to school together. Then I notice a new family come into the diner. They look so familiar....and *wow* is the boy cute! He looks over, and our eyes meet for a moment. I smile shyly, then notice that David and the girl are checking each other out, too. David and I share a look, and I can tell that he also thinks the new family is familair. Another thing I'll talk to him about later on at home. In the meantime, I turn my attention back to our new friends who joined us at the table.... |

| ~*~ Nicola ~*~
Nicola finished placing the last of her clothes in her travel bag- well, one of many travel bags. She was never the kind of girl who traveled light and even though she was only planning to visit her sister and niece for a few weeks, she had packed nearly her entire wardrobe. She was excited about going to visit Amy and Maria in Roswell. It had been a while since she had seen them and it would be good to catch up. Besides, she could always use a few more alien items for her apartment. Just as she was zipping up her last bag, the phone rang. She picked it up. "Hey Amy." Amy Deluca smiled on the other end of the phone. It sounded like her sister couldn't wait to come see them; she couldn't wait to see her either. Nicola continued, "Yeah, my flight's leaving in a few hours, so I should be in Roswell by early evening if I'm not delayed. I can't wait to see you." "I can't wait to see you either. You're not going to recognize Maria...." After chatting for a few minutes, Nicola reminded her that she would need to leave soon to be able to make her plane on time. "I'll see you at the airport then." "Alright, bye sweetie." "See you soon." Once the connection was broken, Nicola called a taxi and waited for it to come. As she waited, she thought about just how much she was looking forward to this trip. She needed to get away, and going to see family would be perfect and would make her feel better. After her horrible breakup with her live in boyfriend of three years, she could use some love and sympathy from her family, not to mention some desert air to clear her head. She couldn't wait to get to Roswell. ~*~ End Nicola ~*~ I hope that's okay. I added the part about the breakup to add a little reluctance to her wanting to date Caleb- besides, the Deluca women are supposed to have trouble with men. Anyway, I hope it was okay. Oh and Elizabeth Evans- you did a marvelous intro for me- thanks! |

******* They walk towards the table as a group. Tess unconsciously edging closer to Kyle as they make their way. She studies the two kids as Alex introduces himself. The girl, Ariel, seems pleasant and nice enough. But is it real? She meet eyes with Isabel as the girl aks if they go to West Roswell. She's about to introduce herself, when the door jingles again. She looks over as this *other* new family slids into a booth. The air feels charged. There is too much going on in the room. But too much much what? Why does it feel like a vise is constricting around her? Does anyone else feel it? |

I put on my best smile, one that I greatly pride myself in and march after Alex. I hear his little introduction and try not to laugh. He's so silly. "Hey. Isabel Evans. Nice to meet you guys." I look over to see Kyle and laugh. "Poor Valenti. Tough life, huh? You just don't get out enough. Maybe you should come shopping with me next time, I have been seeking a new shopping partner, and a depressed Buddhist sounds like quite the new journey." I roll my eyes and look over at Tess who almost chokes on her soda... again. That girl needs to stop before she gives herself like a hernia or something. "What did you say your name was?" I look at the deep blue eyes of the girl sitting at the table and feel a strange attraction to her. She's beautiful, no doubting that... but there was more. A lot more. I hear the bell ring and see a new family walk right in. What is going on? Is there like free rental places for the day in Roswell? I wonder if Max knows. I have to agree with Tess... there's a huge possiblity these aren't just plain humans. We can't trust them. But... at the same time, they look harmless. Always being on my toes can be really stressful. I never know when to truly trust anyone. That's why sometimes it's better not to trust at all. I look over at Alex, my guilty conscience wishing that in a way, we hadn't brought him into this mess. Then he smiles at me, almost as if he's reading my mind. OOC: Quick side note... Caleb is awesome! :-D I like him!!! :-) |

******** The kids get ready fast enough. Brian has actually put descent clothing on. He can be such a homebody, prefering to spend the day in pajamas and just reading anything that has to do with the cosmos. Kara keeps him in touch with the real world. She keeps him grounded in the world they live in, rather then letting him dream the hours a way. Gets him involved in school and community activities, when he'd be to shy to. She keeps both he and Brian going. Snapping at him when he works himself half dead, or doesn't take the time to eat, reminding him life isn't worth living if you never stop to enjoy it, to savor it. Good and bad, Kara's always there. Maybe it's about time, he really started living. She pushed them out the door, allowing no dwaddling, and the whole walk there is spent discussing the upcoming school year. Caleb listens with a half an ear. He looks around. The infamous Roswell. Guess maybe he'll meet some aliens here. As Kara pushes open the door and she and Brian walk through, for a moment he sees them as they once were. Wide eyed six year olds, who had to push with all their strength to open doors. Not young adults who don't need him to open the pickle jars and reach the cookies on the top shelf. God they grew up so fast. When did they stop being his charges and become a part of him? Lost in thought his head snaps and he just watches as events unfurl. A small enough seemimg thing, but frought with change. Kara and Brian slow down as they take their seats, their eyes riveted on two kids seated with their parents. He sucks his breath as hope springs anew in him. He walks forward a little rigidly, unable to accept that maybe... maybe, wishes are fulfilled. ********************** OCC: Nicola's part was great. i really liked the sisters exchange; that you're making them close. Roswellianprincess16: I'm glad you like Caleb. It's cuz he's hot isn't it ?

Something about Isabel and Tess is familiar, but I can't for the life of me figure out why. I can't have met them before, right? Isabel asks my name again, so I introduce myself to her with a smile "I'm Ariel. It's so great to meet you all. I was so worried that it would be hard to meet new people. You know how it is when people have been going to school together for forever and the cliques are firmly entrenched?" I reflected on this somewhat guiltily, because I'd done the same thing back home. Our group wasn't known for reaching out to or including new people. We were the popular group, and we tended to stick to ourselves. Now that I was on the other side of things, I realized just how it felt to be the new kid. It wasn't pleasant, but Alex, Tess, Isabel and the others were really doing a great deal to help just by extending themselves to us, and I truly appreciated it. And then there were the other two kids who just came in with their father. Why did they also seem familiar? Especially when the boy's eyes met mine. There was this incredibly powerful jolt of recognition that flowed through my body. Somehow I know that I'm going to get to know him. I sneak another glance at him, only to find that he's looking my way again, a similarly curious and somewhat surprised expression on his face. We smile shyly at each other again. I notice that David and the girl are also glancing at each other again. [ edited 1time(s), last at 25-Nov-2002 11:10:02 PM ] |

I feel uneasy... First of all I sat here with Ariel wondering if those kids were gonna come over and intorduce themselves and when they do, I like totally ignore them. But, I have a good reason. Some more people entered the Crashdown and sat across the room. A boy around my age and a girl around my age, plus an older guy. I feel over whelmed all of a sudden. It's like I know them or something and then the girl catches my eye and I can't look away, there is something about her. I finally shake myself out of whatever it is that is going on inside of my head. I look up at the four kids in front of us. "Oh and I'm David, Ariel's brother and these are our parents." I give them one of my 'Killer David' smiles that Ariel says would let me get away with murder. And all the while, I try to avoid making eye contact with the nameless girl across the room.

******** I think Caleb's going through that phase new mother's go through, post partum depression. Not in a bad way. Things have really changed recently, big upheavals. He requested a job transfer, and we moved more than half way across the country, rather suddenly, leaving behind lots of our belongings. And he won't really say why. He and Kara have never been so great at not having things go as planned. With them it's, this watched pot better boil because I'm going to continue to stare until it does. It's just that recently when he looks at us sometimes, he looks wistful and sad. He's always been there for us. Since our parents died in a caving accident Caleb's had to watch and care for us. He's raised us, clothed us,and fed us. I guess that's why Kara and I didn't push for why when he said we had to move. He's given up alot, missed out onlot of things guys his age normally do, so he could be there for us. He doesn't talk about mom and dad too much, just says they were great, brave people. I think dad would have been pretty awesome if Caleb's any thing to go by. I mean since Caleb's done an okay job with us, and he must have had our dad as a good example. I snicker at the memories that surface; that definitely doesn't mean we haven't had our share of arguments and fights. Caleb has to have control. He tries to hide it, but whenever things go wrong he panics. It's like he has a fear of chaos or something. I answer Kara's questions about school. We're finally here at the Crash. And the moment I enter the air whooshes out my body. Whoa this is weird. And then I look up, and my gaze falls on this beautiful girl. This is freaky. It's like deja vu, but not, because this doesn't feel like the shadow of a memory. This feels like I was asleep and now I'm finally awake. Must just be my mind, I probably watched too much tv today, or had bad left overs. I really *can't* cook. Kara can never find out she was right. I take a deep breath, and notice there are other people surrounding this girl. My eyes narrow. |

I watch the intorductions go around under the eye of two happy looking parents which are probably thankful that their kids are making friends. I also notice that more new people enter, I mean 'yeah' they could be tourists, but I don't think so. I'm gonna have to find out about all these people and find out why they all moved to Roswell at the same time. I won't let what happened to Tess and Alex happen again. I will do anything to stop something bad from happening to my best friend and girlfriend. Well...not exactly girlfriend...not yet at least. I look over at Ariel and David. "Well I'm Kyle, also known as, 'A Depressed Buddhist.'" I say laughing and shake David's hand. [ edited 1time(s), last at 25-Nov-2002 11:27:24 PM ] |

I grin at Kyle. "A depressed Buddhist, huh?" Although he is smiling, his eyes convey a lot more. There's something about him and the rest of the group that suggests they've been through some difficult times. I can tell that David is feeling uneasy and overwhelmed with everything suddenly happening. Mom and Dad are clueless, of course....they're just happy that some of the kids we'll be going to school with have come over to introduce themselves. Giving David one of my trademark "peace glances," the one that he says always soothes and calms people, I lean closer to him and ask quietly, "David, do we know them? They look really familiar, don't they?" I'm sure he senses it, too. I want to ask him later about Tess and Isabel to see if he also had the reaction to them that I did. They're really familair, too, but there's something more to it...something I can't quite put my finger on yet. [ edited 1time(s), last at 25-Nov-2002 11:31:51 PM ] |

******** She grabs Kyle's hand, and while the other's talk, she leans over and whispers, "Depressed Buddhist? I think somebody needs tabasco and strawberry pancakes? And maybe a movie marathon? I'm thinking Godzilla, but old skool, like Godzilla vs Mothra or, ooh, how about Godzilla vs Monster Zero? Doesn't Alex have them all on tape?" All the time smiling. She was pretty sure Kyle used to laugh more. |

| Question: Is Maria working at the Crashdown tonight? If she's not... then I'll edit.
~*~ Nicola ~*~ Nicola wheeled two of her suitcases out of the airport behind Amy. Amy was carrying the majority of her baggage. They barely managed to make it to the Jetta before they dropped everything. "Geez, Nicola. Did you have to bring everything you own?" "Hey, it's not my fault you're a weakling big sis," Nicola retorted playfully while waiting for Amy to pop the trunk. Soon they had everything in and were riding into the heart of the city. Rounding a corner, they pulled up in front of the Deluca residence. "I figured we could unpack your stuff and then head down to the Crashdown to grab a quick bite to eat. Maria's working tonight, so you'll be able to see her there as well," Amy commented, lugging one suitcase into the house. "Oh and feel free to tease her about her uniform- she absolutely hates wearing that thing." Nicola giggled. God, it was good to see Amy again. It had been way too long. The unpacking was finished quickly and the two women climbed back into the Jetta and headed to the Crashdown. Heading inside the building, Nicola paused. There at a booth, with two teenagers, sat one of the most gorgeous men that she had ever seen. She mentally shook herself. 'Stop that. Brendan (her latest ex) was gorgeous and look where that got you.' She didn't have time to think about him anymore, though, as she was soon tightly embraced by a petite, blond, teenage girl. Pulling back slightly and smiling fondly at her (as they were about the same height), Nicola said, "I'm so happy to see you again, Maria." |

I nod to Ariel's question, but I don't want to say anything aloud. We are going to have to have a long talk when we get home. We've got to figure all of this out. I glance over at that girl again, something is definately going on here. I can practically see the wheels in Ariel's head turning. I lean over. "Let's talk at home. Just enjoy yourself." ***************************************************** Kyle Tess' hand feels so right in mine. But, I can't get lost in all these feelings for her. I have to protect her. SHe suggest's a movie marathon. It's a great idea, there's nothing more than I would rather do than sit and watch movies with her in the dark. I also notice her attempt at a joke. I admit the girl's got a great sense of humor... Almost as good as mine. But, I can't laugh. I have to find out more about these kids. I squeeze her hand. "Movie night sounds great." I whisper and then turn back to Ariel and David. "So where are you two from?" |

I nod to David, totally understanding. We are definitely going to be having a very long talk tonight. There's so much to figure out it's almost overwhelming. But David's right. First things first, and right now it's time to just have fun. We'll deal with everything else later. I answer Kyle's question. "We're from Pennsylvania. Up until now, we'd lived there our whole lives, but Dad was offered a teaching job at Las Cruces University, so we had to move out here." I try to manage a small smile, but I can't hide the sadness that engulfs me again at the thought of all the friends David and I left behind. It still really hurts not to see them every day and to know that we won't graduate with them. I try to put up a brave front for Dad, but it isn't easy. |

******** She can't help but wince at the sadness in the girl's voice, and accidently squeezes Kyle's hand harder. A part of her wishes that's all she had to be sad about, and well Tess envies her for that, she can't help but ferverently hope and pray, the girl won't ever be sad about anything more. She sighs, and glances over at Alex. I'msosorryI'msosorryI'msosorry. |

*Ariel* I notice Tess' look of sympathy and smile a genuine smile this time. I can tell that she cares and that she's upset for me. "Really, it's ok," I assure her, and maybe myself as well. "It's just hard leaving everyone and knowing that we're not going to graduate with the people we grew up with. But you all have been so great. It really helps to know that we'll be starting a new school where we already have friends." [ edited 1time(s), last at 26-Nov-2002 12:29:16 AM ] |

"Must be tough leaving the people you care about behind." I try to hide my trace of sadness. I'm not really an emotional person. I'm not... but this girl... it's like... like I know her. Like I've been waiting for her for a long time. It's really weird... but I can't seem to shake it. I look over at Tess and smile, a look that she recognizes. We're gonna have to talk. "Pennsylvania. I've never left Roswell. But I will someday. You'll see. I'll travel the world. Maybe then you guys can take me on a tour of your town." I wink and look around the Crashdown at the new kids who finally found a seat. I need to get some info. "I'm starved. I think I need some food. I know I came here for a reason. Shopping is exhausting. It was nice meeting you guys." I nod my head and turn to sit at a table. I look up and see Alex head my way. Ok, just brace yourself. You knew this was coming. You can handle this! "Hey, you hungry?" Well, that was lame. |

******* I look over at Kara, she looks puzzled. I take a chance, and guess she's thinking about the same thing, okay same two things, I am. 1) why does the family, or rather the two teenagers, surrounded by a bunch of other teenagers, look so familiar? And 2) why the hell does it feel like I finally belong? That's the scary part. Feeling like I belong. I never felt this before. I don't make friends to easily. In fact if it wasn't for Kara, I don't know how many friends I would have had. She badgers and pesters me, till I cave in and join whatever little club it is she wants to check out. But I can never belong. Not when you belong to a family of freaks. Not that I'm ashamed or anything, it's just that you can never be to careful. People will want to use you. People will look at you like you really are a freak. At least that's what Caleb said. And I believe him. Because something pretty similar and very traumatizing must have happened to him, to give him that haunted look in his eyes whenever the topic is brought up or there's a close call. So I'm cool being who I am. But Kara ... she's such a free spirit. That Caleb and I gotta be strong for her. We gotta watch out for her. 'Cause no matter what she says, everyone one knows I'm the older twin. So it's our duty to protect her. Make sure no harm ever comes her way. But she doesn't know that. And it needs to be kept that way, 'cuz boy does she have a temper. That's also why she can never find out Caleb and I cornered her last "boyfriend" and had a little talk. She was plenty pissed the first time it happened. I look over at the boy who was clearly ogling my baby sister, and wonder if I'll have to have a talk with him as well. Cause this, whatever it was that shined in my sister's eyes when she looked at him, this could be something. Something that's real. My gaze catches the girl sitting beside the boy, and my insides clench. God I must be starved, if my stomach is trying to cleave itself to my back bone. I nod in the direction of the two kids, "Hey Kara? Don't they look," I don't want to say familiar, but how else to describe it? "Have we met them before?" I ask her. Caleb's gaze shoots up from the menu he was studying. What's that all about? I can't help but wonder. [ edited 2time(s), last at 26-Nov-2002 8:32:59 PM ] |

I smile at Isabel. "It is hard to leave everybody behind. But I do want to go back home for college, so I'd love to give you a tour of Philly whenever you're in town." Isabel takes her leave, and my gaze drifts back to the gorgeous guy sitting with his family. I can't help myself; it's like there's some force drawing me to him. What is it? I have to find out somehow. If he and the girl don't come over to introduce themselves, I may just have to go over there and say hi at some point during dinner. Speaking of dinner, our meals should be ready soon. At least, I hope they are. I"m starving! I pour another packet or two of sugar into my soda while we wait. |

I say bye to Ariel and David and sit back down with Isabel.I look up at Tess who pulls Kyle away to a different table.I smile.Yeah.I need to talk to Isabel.Alone.I open my mouth to start,but she asks if I'm hungry.I laugh."Yeah...but it's hard to tell these days.We just seem to hang out at the Crashdown 24 hours a day,"I joke.Yes.Starting out with a joke.Good,Alex! I smile.I avoid Isabel's eyes,but then look back to them for a second."So....we....have to talk about some things...,"I start off.Ever since the whole Tess/Shapeshifter incident,I feel like I have been alittle more confident.Or maybe it's the fact that I almost died.That can change a guy's view of life. ~~Kara~~ I snap out of my glances with the cute boy as Brian asks if we've met those people before.I look up at him and then Caleb."I don't think we have...but they just look so.....,"I start.I know that Brian's thinking the same thing.I bite my bottom lip and try to change the subject."So....let's order..,"I say.A waitress hands us three menus and I look at mine."Yum...blastoff burger and a milkyway milkshake,"I say with a smile.The one thing that is different about me and Brian is our tastes.He can't stand milkshakes.I laugh as he makes a face and catch another glance at mystery guy.Note to self.Find out his name.

********* Isabel and Alex go sit down at a booth so she heads over to the counter. Her tummy growls. She gets a little red, when she notices Kyle's amused expression. "What, I'm starving. I didn't want to eat alone," she says defensively. She catches Max and Liz walking back into the diner, small satisfied smiles playing across their lips. She glances up at Kyle out of the corner of her eyes. *************** Brian ********* Yuk. I still don't understand how we can be related. Milkshakes? I like milk. And I like ice cream. But together? I shudder at the thought. Hungry hungry hungry .... hungry hippos. I remember that game. Caleb bought so many different board games to celebrate our sixth birthday, and that was one them. I always liked the jingle more than the game. Okay it's not working. Starving though I am, I wish we were at home so I could discuss what's happening with Kara and Caleb. I sneak another look at *her*. Snap out it. Speaking of which, Caleb is being unusually quiet. ****************** OCC: hey where's maria. cause i kinda wabt to respond to nicola's part (as caleb) but i think maria should make her move first. .
also i won't be able to post for just about the rest of the day. i'll be at various airports or in the sky. i'm going to Boston. yea! never been to the east coast (why bother when nobody knows how to party like the left coast knows how to party? just joshin. kinda. ) and i'm going to be all by myself, so that's lots of time to write and think. i'll try to post when i get to my friend's place.

I take my seat next to Tess and again I am amazed by how beautiful she is. It breaks my heart to see her all guilty and upset. I take her hand again and give it a squeeze and she smiles up at me. "You gotta let it go." I tell her. "It wasn't your fault. You didn't do anything wrong. You and Alex are home safe now and that's not gonna change." As I say the last part I glance over at the two kids that we just met; Ariel and David. I don't want to change the subject, but I have to. I have to protect Tess and the rest of my friends to make sure that nothing like what happend happens again. And I noaticed that Ariel did something that doesn't seem right. "Tess. Did you notice that Ariel poured sugar into her drink?" ******************************************************* scifidreamer I hope you have fun!!!!! |

"Talk? Right... talk. Well, I guess I should start by telling you what I haven't." I twirl my ice water with my straw and grab my stomach with my other hand. I can't say this. The minute I do things are going to change. But... the way my heart sank when I thought he died. The way I cried... I had never felt that way before. But now, with these new people around, I don't even know if this is a good idea to open up like this. Being open makes you vulnerable. I can't afford that. Not if these people are here for a bad reason. I look over and catch Ariel pour sugar in her drink. It's almost like a punch in the stomach. I only know three other people who do that. "I had a great time at prom. It's hard to explain how magical that night was to me. I'll never forget it." Yea, take the easy way out. If you only tell half the story, you can spare both your hearts. OOC: One quik factoid!!! I hope mentioning prom is ok!!! I wasn't sure if that still applied, since Tess was a shapeshifter at this time... and he had been abducted... if it's wrong tell me! I'll fix it!! |

| Dreamer_Dreaming, I'll check on our Max and find out wha'ts up. In the meantime, you can still post as Liz. Hehe, the Harts are waiting for their meals and other things are happening, like Maria's aunt is in town. Liz would probably know her and can go say hi or something .
roswellianprincess16, mentioning prom is fine. Things happened the way they did on the show in season 2, except afterwards it turned out that Alex's death was a hoax and the person who did all the mindwarping of Alex, etc., was the shapeshifter. But prom and everything still happened .
----------------------------------------------------- *Ariel* I notice Kyle giving me a funny look as he watches me pour some packets of sugar in my soda. Then he whispers something to Tess. I avert my gaze and sigh. Just great. Our new friends are going to think that David and I are weird for our little dietary quirks. Ok, so we like a lot of tabasco sauce, especially on sweet things. And we like sugar in our sodas because otherwise it's not sweet enough. Our taste buds are not very sensitive, and we don't have a lot of them. Is it *that* weird? Back home, our friends would sometimes tease us about it, but it was always in fun. They learned to love us anyway ;). Would our new friends in Roswell do the same? I hoped so.... |

TabascoChick and roswellianprincess16, you guys are doing an amazing job writing them. their thoughts are so perfect, so in character. i truly believe this is what we would have been privy to if Roswell had inner monolouges. i was lol, when i read alex saying he'd probebly go cry in the bathroom. that was great. fantastic even. and I_LOVE_NICK, that kyle part was great. kyle rocks. this is how kyle and tess should have worked out.
if we can't find the people we need, i can temp until they're ready. btw where's michael? *********************** Tess ******** He takes her hand, and as he tells her she isn't to blame, for one glorious moment she believes it. She languishes in his faith in her. Basks in his attention. Does he know how much it drove her mad, the thought that he believed she had betrayed him. That she would use him. So callously and cruelly manipulate him. That she would purposefully hurt him. It warms a small, newly growing, part of her heart to hear his words. To have him near her, gives her strength. Eases away a little of the hatred and anger that burn so brightly within her. Nacedo may have reared her, he may have hardened her to the realities of war maybe a little to well. But that wasn't all she had to be anymore. Not with friends who treated her like family. Cared for her. Were concerned for her. Liked her. Not with Jim there, being the father she'd always needed, though she may not have known it. Not with Kyle. Kyle. She bite her lip absentmindedly. Kyle who warmed her. And held her. Who made her laugh. And didn't want her cry. Kyle who covered her with a blanket at night when she fell asleep on the couch unaware. Who wrapped his arm around her shoulders tight. Who made popcorn with ranch and suger just cuz it was her favorite. Kyle who only ever wanted her for her. Kyle, who had come to represent home. And then he asks her if she noticed Ariel putting suger into her drink. And the cobwebs disappear. And her hearts hurts just a little too much at realities' intrusion.

*Isabel* "More?" He wants more. More what? I mean, he knows I can't get involved. He knows how much is at risk for me to give myself to him. It puts him in danger. It puts everyone I love in danger. That seems to be what I'm best at. And still I find myself being selfish. I find myself feeling that the risks are worth taking. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME!! This is so frustrating! What did he have to go and make me think he was dead for?! "Alex... I could never live with myself if something happened to you. I mean, after this whole ordeal. Me thinking you were dead. I just... I couldn't stop blaming myself for getting you into this mess in the first place. And I just, I know you deserve so much more." God... I hate this. It's not fair. Just when I think I'm ready, everything stands in the way. This whole being alien thing is such a pain. I can't even live my life without it affecting everyone around me. I look down and see Alex's hand holding mine. And the warmth and comfort it brings makes me want to cry. Then I remember what his kiss felt like that night at prom. I haven't kissed him since. And suddenly that urge pours into me again. And his words come to my mind. You promised you wouldn't do that. I also promised myself I'd never let anything happen to him. Can I live up to that promise and still be with him? |

| OOC:That's so sweet of you, scifidreamer
!You made my day...lol...I really like playing Alex.He's my fav character.I was so mad when they killed him off!You're doing an awesome job playing Tess!I'm not a big Tess fan,but the way you play her,I'm really starting to like her! ~~Alex~~ I look at Isabel.How can I convince her that she isn't putting me in any danger?Well...ok....technically she is,but I was in the danger the very minute Liz clued me into the whole alien thing.And the truth is,everything got better when he I found about the "alien life".I got together with Isabel.I even managed to make Micheal laugh and Maria and Liz didn't have to hide things from me.I shake my head and hold onto her hands tighter."No...Isabel...I know you're worried about me,but you don't have to be!The moment I found out about you guys...i was in danger.You and me being together doesn't put me in any more danger!"I argue. |

| OOC: I haven't heard back yet from our Max and Maria, so if people want to temp for them, that'd be great! I could try my hand at Maria if nobody is opposed to that. By the way, you guys rock! I hope I'm doing half as good a job with Ariel as you guys are with your characters!
----------------------------------------------------- *Ariel* I pour some more tabasco sauce on my onion rings and absently take a bite as my gaze travels around the restaurant. Wistfully, I look around at all the couples. I envy them for their closeness, knowing that I can never have that with someone. There's a secret I will always have to hide, so I'll always be holding back with any guy. That's why I never really dated. As I think about this, my gaze is drawn back to *him* for a moment. If only things could be different with him....Woah! How can I be thinking this way? I hardly know him. And yet, somehow it feels as if I do. Why is that? OK, I definitely should *not* be thinking this way. I'll never have what these other couples have. Just look at them. It's too dangerous for me to ever get that close with someone. Our waitress Liz is making out with some guy at one booth. Alex and Isabel look to be having a serious conversation over at another booth, while Tess and Kyle seem to be totally smitten with each other. I can see the love shining in Tess' eyes...but then when Kyle whispers to her and they both look over this way, they get this pained look on their faces. I can practically feel Tess' headache from across the restaurant. They're really worried about something, but what? Whatever it is, I hope everything works out OK. Maybe I'm just being paranoid to think that it has anything to do with me and David. It may just be my insecurities about being in a strange new town. Not to mention the normal caution about new people that David and I have always felt. We've always known that we were different because of our psychic abilities, and so we've never really let people close enough to tell them. David in particular kept his relationships with even our closest friends back home on a superficial level. I was the one who was more outgoing, but was always extremely careful to appear ultra normal to the outside world. Even Mom and Dad don't know about our abilities. David's a lot more wary of anyone finding out about us, and keenly tuned into the danger we'd be in should the government ever learn of our abilities. We'd be experimented on like lab rats, or we'd be on the run for the rest of our lives. Most of the time, I can push the fear of that to the back of my mind because David and I are always so careful, but at times I still have nightmares about what could happen. Why do I get the feeling that tonight might be one of those nights? |

I glance across the table and notice Ariel's worried expression. A few minutes ago, she looked happy when we met Isabel, Tess, Kyle and Alex. Now she looks very worried. I glance over at Mom and Dad and see that they are in their own little world. "Are you okay?" I whisper to her. |

I see Tess eyes brighten for a moment and feel my heart beat faster to see how happy she finally looks. Then I mention Ariel and her face drops. I can't help it. She doesn't realize that I have to take of her and make sure that nothing bad happens to her again. I sigh. I can either comfort her or continue on with my suspicions. I take her hand again. "Look Tess. I really think that we should talk about all that has happened. But, I think that it would be better if we did tonight at home. I promise. Tonight, I have some things that I really need to tell you. But I can't help but worry about all these new people." Tess puts her head down as I am talking. "C'mon Tess. Two new families just came into the Crashdown and now this woman." I say glanicing over at the older woman who is hugging Maria. I mean, yeah, if the woman is with Maria that means that Maria knows her. But maybe not. I've already ran into more shapeshifters that I care to remember. I can't help my suspicions. I take my hand and lift Tess' face up. I lean forward close enough so I can smell her. Get control of yourself. "Tess don't you find something odd about this?" I know that it may seem unreasonable right now with the condition that Tess is in. But I have to protect her, even if it means upsetting her. |

| OOC: Is anybody else up for a postfest tonight?
*Ariel* I give David a small smile and nod. I whisper back, "Yeah, I'm ok. It's just that so much is happening that it's overwhelming. And I'm seeing all these couples who are so close, it just reminds me of what I'll never have and that hurts. I can't help but wondering what it would be like..." I glance back over at *him* again, and I can tell that David notices and understands. I bring my attention back to David and lean even closer to whisper, "And did you notice the glances Tess and Kyle are giving us? It really seems like they're worried about something. I don't know what it is, but something's up with them..." [ edited 2time(s), last at 3-Dec-2002 9:53:16 PM ] |

| I would be I have to write a paper that's due tomorrow... It's so depressing! By the way, everyone's parts have been great!
I really need to go now and start this thing, before I can talk myself out of it. Have a fun postfest! |

| Good luck with your paper! If you don't get the chance to join in a postfest tonight, I know there'll be a lot more of them that you'll be able to be part of. |

When Ariel mentions Tess and Kyle, I immediately look over. And Kyle is still looking at us weird. "Yeah, I know." I tell Ariel. "It's probably nothing. Maybe their worried that we are going to become the most popular kids at school and steal their limelight." I say this laughing, trying to make a joke. But, they do look very worried about us and I don't think what I told Ariel is the reason. ************************************************** OOC: I'd be up for a post fest. But I hope that scifidreamer comes along, so I can also post for Kyle!!!!! |

| OOC: I hope scifidreamer is up for a postfest with us, too. That would be really great!
*Ariel* I give David an I-know-you-don't-actually-believe-what-you-just-said look. I know that he's just trying to make me feel better, and I really appreciate it. I grin. "Yeah, look out West Roswell High. Here we come!" I say teasingly. "Everyone will envy us but want to be in our exclusive social circle." Then I get more serious and get to the real issue. "So, what do you really think is going on? I keep getting this weird vibe from everyone here. I really feel like we've met some cool people and I have a good feeling about them, but there's much more here than meets the eye." |

"I know what you mean" I tell Ariel while glancing at Mom and Dad to make sure that they don't over hear us, also I am glancing at Kyle and Tess plus that girl who just came in a little while ago. I'm beginning to get a head ache. "That's why we have to be careful." I tell her sternly. "We don't know anything about these people. We have to find out more." I glance over at Mom and Dad again, then I lean towards Ariel. "When Mom and Dad are done, we'll tell them that we want to hang around and then invite Tess, Kyle and the other's over to join us. Sound good?" |
