First of all, I do not own any of the RTWM characters.. and please forgive me if my story sucks..It's my first time to write a story like this.. thanks for your reading though.. and your comments are very much appreciated... Enjoy!

Chapter 1

Unexpected Reunion

Jack Bruno still couldn't believe his eyes. It's been a year since he last saw this two blonde teenagers. Now Seth and Sara once again are standing in front of him and his wife, Alex. It's been a year but the memory is still fresh.. He could still recall his cab driver days when these two aliens appeared in his backseat and started saying weird things about some important mission to save theirs and his world which turned out to be true.

Seth and Sara's scientist parents had a secret experiment on Earth that would save their world from being destroyed. Unfortunately their government did not give them a chance to continue it and instead, opted to invade the another world which happened to be the Earth. So Seth and Sara sneaked out of their world to prove the success for their parents mission. They would have been Earthlings' very own experiment if not for Jack and Alex who helped them in their mission.

"But now what's the problem? I mean I'm happy to see you but-" Jack was cut off by the mind reader, Sara.

"-you're wondering why we are here and you feel that we are in trouble again." She finished. Seth as usual is still silent. It seems that he's doubting everyone again.

"Well I nearly forgot you can read minds..you really have to control that ability kid." Jack said in a warning tone but Sara knew he's not serious about what he said because he can read minds too (a gift Sara gave her before they left Earth) and she knew he's reading her mind.

"It will take long to read my mind and explain to you everything Jack Bruno. But don't worry we are not in trouble. We are sent here by our officials. By the way, our parents said thanks...in behalf of the whole living creatures in our planet." She winked and motioned to Jack that they would appreciate it if he'll invite them in.

"You changed a lot Jack. The last time you look..not very good." Sara commented when they all sat in the living room to start whatever it is they need to say.

"And you look more beautiful than the last time Sara. I can't believe aliens are undergoing puberty too." Alex joked and as if seconded, Junkyard, their dog, barked.

"Oh, Junkyard!" Sara couldn't help but ran and hug her dog friend that they met last year during their mission.

Alex went to Junkyard too, leaving Seth and jack in the living room.

There was a moment of complete silence before Jack decided to speak.

"So, tough guy..You're back in your 'we-can't-trust-anyone' attitude eh?" He rolled his eyes before Seth.

Seth opened his mouth to speak but he couldn't figure out what to say. Instead, he faked a smile and looked on the floor to hide that worried look in his face. He knew Jack would help them again but he doesn't want to depend too much on him and Alex. The situation is different now compared to the situation before. It's something that he wanted to solve by himself, hoping to lessen the guilt he's feeling.

"Okay..so, just call me with your super hi-tech touch-screen device when you decided to say a word." Jack snapped Seth from his reverie.

Seth looked up to him again, stared in his eyes, then decided to start. "We need a little help Jack. Could you help us pretend to be humans? Me and Sara..? I mean like.. pretend that we are your kids?" He tried to explain but Jack only gave him a confused look.

"Let me make it clearer. We are looking for someone here. I'm supposed to be the only one who should come back but Sara insisted to come with me. We need to disguise as humans so we could mingle with other humans of our age without them noticing us. Without YOUR government noticing us." He purposely emphasize "you government".

"That's clearer..but will all due respect, Seth, could you just tell me the whole story? Or is there a mutant guy after you again?" Jack said in knitted eyebrows.

"When we secretly went to Earth for our mission, someone followed us and now that someone is lost here. We did not know what happened and it's our fault why one of our kind is nowhere to be found now. Our government ordered us to go and bring back that someone." He tried not to tell him too much. He doesn't know why but he felt very ashamed at the thought of Jack knowing 'that someone' bothering him this much.

"Ow..Another alien visited our dear planet. Haha!" Jack laughed sarcastically. "So it's like we're looking for some missing specie. Do you have at least a picture? There's no need to mingle with other humans, you might get yourselves into trouble. I could look for that 'someone' while I'm out for work."

"No. I want to solve this problem myself. I just need your help on the part where we need to be like humans. I do not mean to offend Jack Bruno but try to understand. It's like..this is a challenge made only for me and me alone." Seth sounded firm and eager.

"Okay, okay.. I know you're a good boy Seth. But you can't stop me if I want to protect you and your sister. You know not all humans are like me and Alex. I will help you but I'm warning you this is very dangerous." Jack finally took I seriously. He would give his life for this two aliens without a doubt. They've created a very family-like bond between the four of them.

"Thanks." Seth muttered and smiled lightly.

"I will tell Alex about it. I'll be in charge of your lessons on how to be human, she'll be in charge of Sara's. But for now. I think we all should party. It's not everyday we had chance to get together right?" Jack finalized and motioned to Seth that they should follow Sara and Alex and try to catch up on things that happened since they went back to their home planet.

Okay there goes the first chapter. So tell me what do you think.. Tomorrow I'll try to post the second chapter. Looking forward to see your comments..
