Roswell Fanatics

~~~~~MAX~~~~~
Okay...whats that about? I mean... everything was going well and then...
"Yeah... its my mother and my sister... my mothers back home but my sisters in town... your welcome to meet her... I can't wait for her to meet you..."

I trail off and look at her. "Liz...did I say something wrong? Please, I... I'd like to know what your thinking."

Isabel

"No, certainly not and .. I'm sorry for constantly asking questions I know it's rude I just ... I guess I just don't want to die stupid."

Huh! What a weird answer!
May be he's on drugs or something.May be that's why he's so optimistic about his outlook on life.

I look at him sceptically and notice that he shrugs.He just lied...that's for sure.Now why would he lie?

"Well I don't think you're being rude but you're the first person I've met whose asked me so many questions in our first meeting.Even if humans aren't weary or scared of us they tend to be cautious when asking us about ourselves and our culture."

I laugh a little when I remember an incident from a few years previous,"One person I met asked me if I had some kind of internal weapon like in that movie Species.It's the ones who are scared of us that I worry about." I add with a frown

Alex

"One person I met asked me if I had some kind of internal weapon like in that movie Species.It's the ones who are scared of us that I worry about."

I smile when Isabel laughs at the memory, then I start fidgeting slightly biting my lip. I'd really like to know about her powers, I read that they have some but I'm not having the slightest clue what kind but ... oh she'll surely tell me if I'm crossing the line.

Leaning forward in excitement, I ask, "And, have you? Or death ray eyes or ... the power to kill me with your brain or something?"

I probably should be scared of the answer but ... damn, it's so exciting, I learned so much in the last hour.

Isabel

"And, have you? Or death ray eyes or ... the power to kill me with your brain or something?"

I look at him in surprise my mouth falling open slightly.I'm not sure whether to be insulted or amused.He seems very excited that's for sure.What's with him?!

"I'm not sure whether I should be offended by your question or not." I say glaring at him for a moment before continuing "Yes I do have some powers.And if I could kill you with my brain don't you think I would have done it by now?"

I grin at him then inspite of the mild irritation that question caused,"With great power comes great responsibility." I say quoting from the movie 'Spiderman' "I don't take mine lightly even if they aren't deadly ones.We can change the molecular structure of things and then each of us has one power peculiar to us only."

Alex

"I'm not sure whether I should be offended by your question or not." "Yes I do have some powers.And if I could kill you with my brain don't you think I would have done it by now?"

I grimace slightly at that, realizing that I really overstepped things. But at least I was right - she would tell me when I go too far. "I'm sorry, I guess my excitement got the better of me."

Isabel grins then and "With great power comes great responsibility."

My eyebrows go up at that in surprise. Spiderman? Love that movie.

"I don't take mine lightly even if they aren't deadly ones.We can change the molecular structure of things and then each of us has one power peculiar to us only."

"Ah, what powers do you have and you like Spiderman I assume?"

Then I shut my eyes in annoyance at myself. "I'm sorry, I won't ask any questions anymore. I promise." I say with a sigh, telling myself to calm down and that I'll probably get another chance to talk and ask questions if Liz and Isabel's brother really are close.

"Are there maybe things about humans you want to know but never dared to ask?"

Isabel

He leans forward,excitement clearly written all over his face,"Ah, what powers do you have and you like Spiderman I assume?" Boy he doesn't give up,does he! He seems to catch himself then and adds,"I'm sorry, I won't ask any questions anymore. I promise."

I smile at him gratefully,relieved that I don't have to answer any more questions for the time being.

"Are there maybe things about humans you want to know but never dared to ask?" Ah now this is an oppotunity I must seize since he is giving me the chance to ask him questions,but I can't think of anything right now since he asked me that out of the blue.

"I have lived here for many years now so know most of what there is to know about human life.But I have never had a human friend.On Antar,family comes first,friendships second.Max and Michael are my closest friends.I've never really had a close female friend.Being royalty doesn't help."

~LIZ~

I look up at him, finally having control enough not to burst into tears. Shaking my head I answer quietly, "Max, are you sure you want to get married to a human? I mean, if you're just looking for someone to have children with, I am sure there are plenty of women out there who would be happy to provide. You and I don't have to get married for me to be a surrogate mother or whatever you need."

He looks a little confused and I can't hold his eyes as I mumble, "I happen to think that marriage is a very serious committment. I don't think I'd be comfortable being with someone else if I was married." Ok, so that's a bit of an understatement. I happen to think that marriage is for life...that it is the most important step you can take and it shouldn't be done lightly. I hate cheaters and don't believe in giving out free samples if you're not willing to buy, if you know what I mean. But I don't want to offend Max. I don't know anything about Antarian culture. Maybe they have multiple wives. Maybe they are used to having multiple sex partners but only one can have the children or something. I don't know. It's then that I really realize that I'm sitting across from an alien being with totally alien customs and I know nothing about any of them. Of course, before I ever agreed to marriage with him, I'd have to meet his family. That's how I am. Maybe he doesn't feel the same. Maybe he'd be embarrassed to introduce a simple human woman to his royal Antarian family.

Alex

"I have lived here for many years now so know most of what there is to know about human life.But I have never had a human friend.On Antar,family comes first,friendships second.Max and Michael are my closest friends.I've never really had a close female friend.Being royalty doesn't help."

Is that her way of asking if we could be friends? that partly amuses me but I'm also feeling sorry for her ... it sounds like she was lonely all those years.

"Uhm, okay ..." I say, unsure what to tell Isabel, "you can feel free to ask me whatever you want ... just don't expect very wise answers, okay?"

Putting my elbows on my knees, I lean forward, looking thoughtfully at her, "I guess ... life was rather ... lonely for you then and ... slightly boring too maybe. Not that I want to judge or anything." I hastily add, not wanting to ruin the ... good mood.

Isabel

"you can feel free to ask me whatever you want ... just don't expect very wise answers, okay?"
I nod my head,"Thanks,I'll remember that."
He probably feels sorry for me not having any friends other than my brother and his friend.That sounds pathetic even to my ears but no need for him to know that.

"I guess ... life was rather ... lonely for you then and ... slightly boring too maybe. Not that I want to judge or anything."
I stretch both my legs out infront of me since they were beginning to cramp being in one position for too long,"No not boring.Being well off has had its perks.I have travelled alot and I love doing that.Yes,there have been times when I wished for more friends but you learn to make do with what you have."

I think about my absentee husband at that moment.Our divorce should be coming through in another few days and then I can be rid of him.He hurt me and deserted me when I needed him the most. "Being alone isn't all that bad though...sometimes when you're too dependant on someone else they turn around and hurt you."

"Do you live here,in Roswell?"

Alex

"Being alone isn't all that bad though...sometimes when you're too dependant on someone else they turn around and hurt you."

I frown at that. Sounds like she has been really hurt before. But then again, who hasn't been hurt by another person?

"Do you live here,in Roswell?"

"I have an apartement in town but in the last year, I travelled a lot, spending much time in Europe and Africa that was only about ... four or six weeks here. I actually feel weird calling Roswell 'home' but ... it's the only one I have so ..." I shrug slightly, realizing that it's been really long since I last was here. Wow, how time flies by when you have fun.
