“I know what you mean” Small dark -haired girl with brown eyes said, getting out from the passengers seat

“Maria, Liz” called the man in the car “Hurry up! We must be in Roswell before evening!”

“Okay, okay, Peter. Chill out! We’re going …” The blonde girl said pulling her long hair into pony tail

“Chill out? Chill out? I can’t chill out! Nicolas will murder me...” the boy with brown hair started to panic ” We have a mission to accomplish. And we haven’t got all day”

“And we haven’t got urinary blister made of steel! We still have some human urges, you know?”

“Just hurry up!” Peter looked nervous

Girls entered bar and they made their way to toilets.

“Geez Maria... I don’t know is it such good idea.... “ Liz groaned

“Yeah I know. I shouldn’t have drink so much cola...”

Liz smiled “No. I’m not talking about that. I mean whole this trip to Roswell. We don’t even know how the Royal Four look like. And…” she hesitated “ What if they are to strong for us... and beside that Roswell’s climate isn’t good for our skins…

“Tell me about it” Maria looked in the mirror and then she ripped off a piece of her skin from her neck “But you know... This is for good of our entire planet. We can’t fail them. We must win. We must kill Royal Four. Nicolas said it is the only way to return to home. And I really want to be with my parents now”

Liz winced “Me too”

For the moment they looked in the mirror in silence.

“Maria...”

“Yes”

“Have you ever dreamed about Royal Four” Liz was avoiding Maria’s gaze

“What are you talking about?” Maria looked surprised”

“I mean have you ever imagine who they are? And are they different people here on Earth?”

Maria watched her sister for a moment. Then she smiled knowingly. “Oh Lizzie. I think I know what are you talking about. Zan. Am I right?” It was more a statement than a question

Liz smiled “Well, I guess you know me too well “

“Michael, honey, could you give me Tabasco?” asked the girl, who looked like, she was one of those supermodels from Fashion TV

“Do you want any special features with that” Boy with dark hazel eyes and long brown hair said, grinning provocatively

The girl blushed. Moment later, she leaned and kissed him gently on lips. “Yeah… but not here and not now. Maybe this evening... Max is going to go to cinema with Tess so we have my entire house just for ourselves

“Sounds good” They were sitting in the local bar named Crash Down. It belonged to Philip Evans, father of Max and Isabel.

“Isabel!” Blonde girl looked around to see dark - haired boy coming her way

“Hi Max! What’s going on?”

“Listen!” Max looked Isabel directly in eyes “You have to wait on this evening”

“It’s not my shift...”she protested

“ I know, but Shannon got sick and we have nobody to replace her...”

“But I have plans for tonight”

“So do I. C’mon Isabel. Michael could help you...”

Max looked at his friend who was totally surprised

“No way” was all that Michael said

“Why?’

“I will not work after hours”

“So change your shift with Jose and be cook for tonight instead tomorrow

Michael thought about it for a while. “Okay. What the hell. I will do it! “ He finally said

“Thanks. You will save few hungry people”

“Figures” Max went to employer’s room.

“Hi guys” they heard familiar voice

“Hi Alex!”

“Hi Isabel „ The boy looked at Isabel with his cute puppy eyes

Isabel knew that Alex was VERY interested in her. Nobody has ever looked at her like Alex did. She was feeling like a queen when she was with him. Sometimes she even imagined them together, but then she quickly reminded herself that she is supposed to be with Michael. Beside that Alex was only human. And she was an alien. It couldn’t work. “Where’s your sister?” she asked

“ Oh… She’s coming. She went to hairdresser. She wants to look perfect for her date with Max. She occupied our bathroom for two hours today…”

“I’m glad that I don’t have a sister... “ Michael said
