It was his first night in a brand new town, and he was ready to start a different life. A life, where no one knew who or what he was. As he turned into his new homes drive way, he was overwhelmed by the streets flooded with people. He got out of his small sports car, and immediately spotted a beautiful brunette. Derek tried to get himself together before he walked over to her.
"Do you know why the streets are so busy?" He gave her his famous smile.
As she turned around slowly, she gave a short giggle. "Well, this must mean you're new in town? It's the celebration, of the crash."
"The crash?" Derek must have even looked confused.
Trying to hold in her laugh she replied, "Look around, remember you're in Roswell."
Taking a short time to glance at the people, he began to quickly notice all of the costumes. "Aliens" he mumbled under his breath.
"That's what we're known for, and by the way I'm Liz. Welcome to Roswell."
"Derek, Derek Hale." He replied extending his hand to shake hers.
"Nice to meet you, Derek Hale" She gave a smile, and continued, "A couple streets over is my families restaurant, The Crash Down Cafe. Come by sometime."
"Thanks, I will." As they broke from their conversation he watched her walk deep into the crowd. Suddenly a tall, dark haired man took a hold of her waist and they disappeared.
"Well, That's that." He said out loud to himself.
Heading back to his car, he grabbed a box and an oversized bag. As he approached the door he gave one last look at the sea of people and headed inside. It was a smaller house with only one floor and two bedrooms. With all the people roaming the streets, he now understood why the cost was so low. Derek wasn't used to being around so many people. It was new, but perhaps what he needed.
Setting the box on the kitchen counter, he glanced at his phone and was surprised to see that it was barley 6pm. Being too exhausted by the long drive, he chose the first bedroom he saw and dropped his bag on the floor. Being thankful that the house came fully furnished, he kicked off his shoes next to the closet door. Slipping off his black jeans next, he crawled right into the sheetless bed. Almost immediately he was asleep and slept the whole night through.
