Xan placed one hand on my cheek, his hand was so soft. His touch was so gentle. I turned my vision back on him. Those blue eyes seemed to penetrate right through me. I was stuck, there was no way I could turn away now. He slowly leaned in and I leaned into meet him, placing lips on his. The universe seemed to have come to a colliding stop as our lips touched.
I placed a hand on his cheek as well as we stood there with our lips interlocked. His skin under my hand felt so warm, so real. But, all good things must come to an end... and eventually the kiss ended. We both stood there frozen for a breif moment. Not knowing what to say, what to do... but I knew I had many things to take care for a trip to Earth.
I smiled at him and with a wink I said, "I'll see you one Earth...." and then I walked away.

Our lips met in a slow, gentle kiss that I wished would last forever, a sweet kiss that said everything without the need for words. For a moment, that moment, time stood still and we were the only two people in the world, in the universe.
But when it ended, and we finally pulled apart, the painful sting of reality seemed to hit the both of us instantly. I looked at her, and she looked at me, and neither of us knew what to say or what to do. And then she smiled, winked at me, and said, "I'll see you one Earth....", before walking away.
For a while, I stood dumbfounded, like a store manequin, a dummy on display. When I finally found myself, I let out a sigh, realising that I had been holding my breath.
"We kiss and that's all she can say," I said to myself, glancing out at the Antarian sky. "You must suck real bad, Xan."
Was that moment just a one-time thing, a spur of the moment which only came once in a lifetime? Would she remember that kiss tomorrow?
I knew that I would- I would remember it forever.
I remained on the balcony for a while, lost in thought. And then I remembered something, and it wasn't the kiss.
"Xadalyn!"
It was her birthday. Idiot. It's your sister's birthday, and you're out here kissing some girl. But then, it was my birthday too, right? Of course, who knew that?
I hurried back to the banquet, wondering if anyone was still there.
And yes, they were. Xadalyn and Larak seemed to be the centre of attention when I walked in. This was one hell of a party- certainly not a McDonald's bash. What did it feel like, being in the spotlight all the time, being the source of inspiration, being everyone's hope for tomorrow?
I was always boring ol' Xander Evans, the guy no one noticed or cared to notice. I'd always been fine with the lack of recognition, but how would it feel to have some sort of status, a feeling of importance?
Then again, Xadalyn had what it took to take on the responsibility that came with the status. This was her day, not mine. Her day, her planet, her people.
I stood aside for a while, thinking that people might have a lot of questions if I walked up to her so suddenly.

I walked back inside, it was taking all my strength to walk away. To put on a smile and turn my back. The kiss still lingered on my lips... I felt as if that kiss would always be lingering on my lips.... at least until the next one. And I really hoped there would be another kiss with Alexandar.
As I entered the party I fell back into the shadows for a moment. My thoughts were too far off to be mingeling with others. My thoughts were out in the galaxy, my head swimming with visions of those blues eyes and sweet kisses. I finally regained composure and made my way to Xadalyn's side.
"Having a wonderful time?" I asked her.

“How about you honey…enjoying yourself?” my mom asks me, and I feel someone put an arm around me. I look up to my side and see my dad. I smile at him and then turn to my mother “no, not really. To tell you the truth I feel like outsider here. I know this is one place to be ourselves, but I don’t like this part me. I always wanted to be.................normal, a full blooded human being, and not just half. I'm sorry I feel this way but I can’t help. I never told you both before, because I was afraid to you both be mad at me" I told them. That’s first time I was completely honest with them. It was like Antar changing me, it was like some kind of curse i had no idea what I was doing.
"I'm not a shame of you or who I really am. I just want to be...............a normal kid like earth....."
I looked down, afraid look at them in the eyes, afraid to see there reaction on their faces. All I know is if I look at them they won’t be too happy with me.
"I'm sorry"

"Oh honey, you don't have to be sorry," I tell Sarah. How well I understand the feeling. All those years of hiding my abilities, fear of the FBI and the Sheriff. Nobody to help Isabel or Michael and I figure out what we were or why we were there.... Sarah's experienced a lot of that, but at least she's had Liz and I and Michael and Isabel to help her understand and to protect her. "I felt that way myself when I was a kid. All I wanted was to be normal. To not have to hide. To be able to be with your mom ..." I turn and give Liz a smile at that.
"After we got together, things were -- well they weren't easier. We had a lot to deal with even then, but it was better. I had Liz and being different was okay then," I look into her eyes, running my finger along her chin. "It's not easy, but you'll find a way. I know you will."
I notice that Xan standing by one of the doorways that lead to the balconies. He must have just come in during the toast to his sister. *Happy birthday, Xan* I tell him, silently, filling my thoughts with all the love and pride I feel for him, especially today.

"Oh honey, you don't have to be sorry," I hared my father saying to me, and I was little surprise. Today and yesterday I wasn’t acting like my usual self. I was acting like I was five and my parents weren’t to prove of me. But I know they still love me, even if not my father own little girl anymore. I guess have to figure out to act a different way, a different Sarah I guess, and I'm sure at the end of the night I'll probably fingered that out.

I didn’t realize how much my father and I were alike. It’s like 25 years later I am experiencing the same thing he experience 25 years earlier.
"It’s different with me. You and mom had each other; you both fight to stay together. I don’t have anyone. I don’t have anyone romance to share in that way. no matter how old you two are, what life come across, you both have each other at end of the night to share a love, I mean if weren’t for you both being together. I'll probably wouldn’t have been born; I'll probably wouldn’t be the same person today. But I do know this......I'm glad you two are my parents. And I wouldn’t trading places with anyone to be where I am today" I smile.
“I just hope one day, someone will love me just as much as you and mom have.”

Larek finishes his speak and I grateful accept his words. Afterwards while I am the business of excepting everyone's congrats and so forth I finally get a free moment."Having a wonderful time?" kyria asks me
"Let's just say I am glad its almost over. And I think I might go ahead and retire." i tell her and then suddenly realize she's no longer with my brother and panic but as I search the crowded room my eyes locate him easily, standing by himself.
It takes all my strength not to go over to him. But what if people but two and two together seeing us standing next to each other. I doubt anybody here is that smart but I don't want to risk it. Later tonight I'll sneak out of my apartment and give him his birthday present, it is after all his birthday too, and I know just the thing.

OOC -- Liz and Max are only 19 and 20 years older than Sarah, not 25, LOL. But I'm sure it seems that way to Sarah.

"I wasn't with your mom yet when I was fifteen, either. You'll find someone. Give it time," I promise her. At this point, after the toast, it would be common for the guest-of-honor to have a birthday dance with her father, although today that means Larak, not me.
"Come share a dance with me, Sarah," I say and I lead her to the floor. She really is getting older all the time. Soon, she will be meeting someone who will be special to her. Then it may be a bit harder to get her to dance with her old dad. It's something that I haven't yet had a chance to share with my other daughter and I hope that someday I will.
I see Xadalyn and I send her my greeting as well. *Happy Birthday, Xadalyn. I'm so glad to finally know you.*
*Justin*
I don't know what Mrs. Evans did to the food, but it certainly is a lot easier to eat now. Sarah comes over and she seems upset. I try not to listen to what she's saying, but it's hard to keep from watching her. That dress is so amazing. I had no idea that she could look that way. She's so ... wow!
I take another bite of whatever I'm eating and just watch her with her parents. If I was going to get stuck on an alien planet without my dad, then at least I'm with Alexander and Sarah. Somehow, that makes it okay to be completely lost and confused in stupid clothing....

"Come share a dance with me, Sarah," my father ask me, and I take his hand and he led me to the dance floor. I put my hand around his shoulders, well I try too. My father was always a tall guy. My mother didn’t care, she love anyways, I listen music as my father and I dance on the floor, I still had to dance with my brother. And I hope he didn’t forgotten about me, and if he has it’s not going cry about it, because right now, with my dad. I'm having the time of my life.
I looked around and saw Justin eating the food, frankly that reminded me, I haven’t had anything all day. My stomach made a loud nose, and I know my dad heard it. I guess I'm hungry, but I don’t want eat, I want to dance with my dad, but if I know my dad to well. He will want to stop dance and force me to eat.

Taking Sarah around the dancefloor I feel so many different things. Strangely comfortable and out-of-place at the same time as I see the ballroom and listen to the music. I'm also feeling very close to Sarah, glad that she's still close to me. That I've had so much time with her. Time I'll never be able to know with Xadalyn. Someday, she and Xander will both go off on their own, but right now, they're still my children.
I smile, holding her close, and then suddenly, I hear her stomach rumbling. "Sounds like you're still hungry," I comment, lovingly. The dance is nearly over and I maneuver us closer to the food and to Liz. As the song ends, I release her. "Why don't you go eat? Justin should be able to point you to the stuff that's most like home. I think he's tried all of it," I tell her with a laugh.
Then, turning to Liz, I extend my hand. "Are you hungry, too, or shall we take a little walk around?"
