Prolog
The summer was slowly coming to an end and the reality of getting to school very soon was making itself known in the heads of the High school kids. A small group of teenagers wasn´t so relieved to get back to the halls of knowledge, knowing that they couldn´t hide from their problems any longer there.
Kyle was barely home from Football camp and the only thing he wanted was to pretend that he wasn´t aware of aliens having landed in their town. But unfortunately his father was heavily involved in covering them that he saw his chance dwindling. Now he had to find another plan to get him through this year without losing his mind or blurting out the secret to someone else and getting in trouble with the Martians. But with his newfound calm from Buddhism, he was sure that he could manage. And maybe he could finally find a reason for all this mess.
Maria had spent the last three months in Massachusetts with her Father and his new family. After all the time John had made contact to his daughter, asking her to come to his mansion to get to know him, his new wife and her step brother. At first she had declined that offer and it had taken a lot of time for her to recover from that phone call. But as soon as her head had cleared, she had realized that it could be her only chance to get the answer she had waited for her whole life. So she had packed a few things and flew with the ticket her father had sent her to the man that was like a stranger to her. But now after she was home again, she seemed to have changed. She had lengthened her hair, which was now falling in slight waves over her back and shoulders and her clothes were more daring. Even her posture was different, she walked more confidently and sure of herself. And everyone passing her noticed the difference.
Liz was the next one that had went through some changes as well. While her best friend had moved towards the babe category, she had chosen something more mature and safe. She had cut her hair into a short bob, which made her look slightly older and was emphasizing her natural beauty. The time she had spent with her Aunt in Florida seemed to have been good for her. She didn´t appear so sad anymore, although a small touch of sorrow was still clinging to her, but it wasn´t such a strong presence any longer. She seemed ready to take on her new year in high school and change the world, her original plan before the aliens had invaded their lives.
Alex had been the only one of the humans staying back in Roswell and enduring a long summer without all of his friends. But his parents had kept him busy with chores and he had managed to visit a few colleges. He was thinking about graduating early, which he could with his good grades and go to Brown University this year. The only thing keeping him from doing that were his two best friends and the only woman he could ever love. Isabel and he were the only couple that had survived the destiny bomb that had been dropped onto them and the only ones knowing how much Michael and Max had suffered all those months with the absence of their girls. But that would change from now on, because they all were home again and they would cross path with each other, if they wanted or not.
