Roswell Fanatics

-Tyler, and Christina-

I was growing more bored by the minute, and I really just wanted to get home to get ready for the party. "Geez, Valenti, stop showing off," I said, at the same time my sister had called, "Lily, stop flirting I want some fries." They gave us a look, and I turned to my sister and rolled my eyes.

Me and Christina got along pretty well; but it was more because we always stuck together when mom was off singing. Christina was the wild one, that acted completely opposite around family and at school, while I was the smart, nice guy, who secretly wanted to rebel.

Christina laughed and did a little kissy motion with her hand and pointed at the two, which of course set me off into a bout of laughter as well. "You know I'm right," she said with a grin, and I replied with an "of course you are," causing the two to look over at us.

-Brad-

"Oh, classes? They're great," I replied, trying to brush my hair and apply gel at the same time. It wasn't working very well, so I put the brush down for the time being. "We have two weeks off starting next week, and I was thinking about convincing Andrew to take a visit home with me."

I stood there, waiting for the answer I knew was coming. Of course she'd say yes, because she misses her 'baby' sooo much. I take a moment to quickly finish using the brush, and then I sit down on the bed again, leaning back against the headboard. "So, whadda you think of that idea?"

((don't worry, mine is short too))

I watched Amy converse with the customer, all smiles and cheerfulness. It was funny that even though she was acting the exact opposite of me, I couldn't help but find her perkiness attractive. I watched her for a moment more and then realized I was almost ogling. I took my eyes off of her to regain me cool facade, and then grabbed her arm again to get her attention.

"I'm going to go," I informed her when she looked my way. "I'll pick you up around 8."

Then, deciding to go for it, I leaned down and gave her a kiss on the cheek. After that I said a quick "bye" and walked out of the building. I noticed Christina, Lily, Tyler and James hanging out at James's car. I took a moment to observe Lily while she wasn't looking. She was just as beautiful as Amy, obviously, but she just didn't do it for me. I didn't feel anything other than friendship for her.

Deciding to stop and talk to them for a second, I walked over there, leaning against James's car like everyone else. "Hey," I said, nodding my head towards everyone. I ignored Tyler, still feeling angry with him for upsetting my sister. What was the guy's problem, anyway?

~James~

“Sure,” Lily responds when I ask her if she wants to see my tattoo. Marie doesn't seem to happy as she walks inside, something about getting a booth.

“When I’m done it’ll be a tribal symbol with a phoenix in the center.” I tell her and watch her for her reaction. She is simply intoxicating.

“That’s hot,” She traces the outline of my tat with a finger and I barely keep myself from reacting just yet. “All the girls are going to be going wild for you tonight, Valenti.”

"All the girls, huh?" I smirk slightly as I reach for her hand, holding it for a moment before letting go. "Save a dance for me, Lil. We've got to talk tonight." I tell her before turning to look at Tyler, making myself focus on the fact that he was laughing about something with his sister.

"Geez, Valenti, stop showing off," Ty says and I hear his sister also saying,
"Lily, stop flirting I want some fries." I turn to look at him with an 'I'll get you expression.' Then turn back to Lily.

"See you tonight, Lil." I grin as I set out to drive away, the outline of my tat still seeming to tingle from her touch and I was feeling more certain about my plans for the night. "Hey, Lil, need a ride there?" I ask her, more then willing to drive her.

I see Oliver come out and nod, "Hey."

~Maria~


"Oh, classes? They're great," My oldest replied and it seemed almost as though he was a bit distracted. "We have two weeks off starting next week, and I was thinking about convincing Andrew to take a visit home with me."

I can't help but feel that idea would be excellent, but I'm proud of the fact that I wasn't the one that had mentioned it. I hadn't said anything other then the fact that I'd be home for a time. I was doing good. It's not as though I had a need to be all mid-life crisis like. Yet, I was beginning to feel as though I needed another baby. And, I knew that if I wasn't surrounded by my family soon I might have a bit of a break down. "So, whadda you think of that idea?"

"It sounds excellent, Brad. It would certainly be wonderful to see you before I have to get back out there to tour land. By the way, which artists are you and Andrew into now? I'm trying to recall and hoping I got the right presents while I was on tour." I'd met with other artists and managed to get some of them to give me autographs for my children as well as the children of all of my friends. Our extended family.

-Brad-

"Mom, any famous artist's signature is a neat present," I said, racking my rain to remember what I had told her. "Did you get Blink 182 or Taking Back Sunday?" I asked, thinking back to the cds I had just been playing. "Oh, and Andrew likes Fall Out Boy too." But we'll love anything you get, don't worry." I added with a smile.

"Oh, and do you think you not tell dad and the sibs that I'm coming back? I want to surprise them." I lay my head on my pillow and looked up at the dusty ceiling. Mom had never been home when I was a kid; she was always off on tour or something. I loved her anyways, but it did make our relationship a little more distant, ecspecially since I moved out here.

~Maria~

"Mom, any famous artist's signature is a neat present," Brad began, "Did you get Blink 182 or Taking Back Sunday?" He asked, as thought I was going to tell him before he saw the present. "Oh, and Andrew likes Fall Out Boy too. But we'll love anything you get, don't worry." I can almost hear his smile on the other end.

"Oh, and do you think you not tell dad and the sibs that I'm coming back? I want to surprise them." I laughed as I heard his request.

"I'll make you a deal, I won't tell either of them as long as you don't decide to call them anytime in the next couple of hours to tell them I'm on my way home. I'm surprising them too." I tell him with a smile in my voice. "I miss you, son. I look forward to seeing you at home. Now, I'm sure that my son has plans tonight, so I won't be an annoying mother and keep you on the phone. I love you and tell Andrew that I love him too. And, that if he doesn't agree, his Aunt Maria will keep all the autographs she collected for him." I laughed softly. I didn't really want to get off the phone.

~~~~~AMY~~~~~
As I wait for the customer to reply, Oliver takes my arm again....God I love his touch....it just makes me want to kiss him so badly.

"I'm going to go,"

Oh. Well..there he goes I guess....drat....I wish I could have spent a bit longer with him....but there you go.

"I'll pick you up around 8."

I give him a smile. "Okay, sounds great" I say with a smile. I tell myself to stop looking at him now, but I don't.

Suddenly the world goes into slow motion...and when I'm expecting him to turn around and leave...he leans down....and kisses my cheek.

"bye" he says quickly as he leaves the Crash.

Normally I would have stared after him....but instead I'm just in shock...did he just...kiss my cheek? I put my hand up to my cheek....God he did...

I know I'm grinning like a chesire cat right now but....he kissed me! Oh my God! Normally I would be staright on the phone to Laura, but one, I'm working, and two, that seems like boasting after what Tyler did to her. So I decided the best thing to do was wait.

I try to get my head to stop spinning and look back at the girl infront of me.

~Danni~


"Actually, we're renting out the rooms above the Crashdown. We redecorated it. If you wanted to rent it, my parents are across the street at the UFO Museum. My Dad's the boss, should be pretty easy to spot. I'm Amy, welcome to Roswell! I'm guessing your not from around here then?"


I wait until the young girl has finished her rendesvoux with the boy before I say anything in response to her mention of the rental, along with her question. "No, I'm not. My family and I just decided to move here for a time. We're from Hollywood, where the people have their noses stuck far too high in their asses." I commented with a laugh before sighing. "I'll have to plan to speak with your parents about the rental after I've seen to it my siblings have their food."

After a moment, I take a napkin and a pen, writing my name and number on it. "On second thought, if you could give this to them, perhaps we could speak on the phone this evening or tomorrow to discuss a good time to take a look. We aren't really in much of a rush and will of course keep our options open."

With that said, I held out the napkin while I used my other hand to fish out the money to pay for the food I've ordered. Going over it in my head, I know that fifty more then covers it, but instead I hand the girl a hundred dollar bill as I wink and tell her softly, "Go on a shopping spree on the change from this and get something to impress that young man if you want."

~~~~~AMY~~~~~
"No, I'm not. My family and I just decided to move here for a time. We're from Hollywood, where the people have their noses stuck far too high in their asses."

I can't help but giggle. This girls really quiet funny. I hope she sticks around and joins school with us.

I'll have to plan to speak with your parents about the rental after I've seen to it my siblings have their food."

Ah...she has siblings! Wow...I wonder if there as nice as her. I smile.

"Sure, I bet they won't be pleased if you let the food get cold" I said with a smile. At that moment I spot her food's ready. I go and collect it and put it in a box for her.

"On second thought, if you could give this to them, perhaps we could speak on the phone this evening or tomorrow to discuss a good time to take a look. We aren't really in much of a rush and will of course keep our options open."

"Yeah, sure. No problem. Take your time" I say. She hands me over the napkin...and a hundred dollar bill....

I look at the girl astonished. There's no way her food would be that much.

"Go on a shopping spree on the change from this and get something to impress that young man if you want." She tells me simply.

I'm about to tell her that I couldn't accept the money....which by the way how can she afford to give roughly 50 dollars to someone she hardly knows...when I look down at it...

I really do need a new outfit....

I look up and smile at her.

"Thank you so much" I say beaming. I hand over her food. "I will put a really good word with my parents" I tell her.

Oh my God...I have to go shopping...but with who?
