Chapter 2

Brooke and her father came out of the airport after 5 hours of nothing but screaming babies and bitchy flight attendants.

Brooke: So where are the movers?

John: Well they are driving up here so they will be here in a couple of hours

Brooke couldn't believe it, she was going to have to wait for her stuff and she was going to spent time in town til the truck gets here. Brooke and her father got into their car and drove to Roswell, the airport is a couple of miles out of the town's limit. As John drove into town she saw that they didn't have much there, she saw a law firm, a bakery, and to her disgusted she saw a UFO center as if this town needed anymore encouragement about aliens. Across the street she saw a restaurant called The Crashdown Cafe, she didn't know why but it sounded very familiar to her. She turned to her dad

Brooke: Hey dad have you ever said anything to me about that restaurant over there?"

She point the way to the place and her dad just looked at her

John: No I don't think so, but that place was great, it the hot spot in town back in my day, it probably still is

Brooke believed that there wasn't anything here, there's not even a mall or even a club. Brooke just dropped the subject and look at her father whoh was pulling into the Crashdown parking lot.

Brooke: Dad what are you doing? (She got out of the car)

John: Well i thought we stop by to get something to eat, plus i was good friends with Jeff parker who now owns this place with his wife Nancy.

Brooke: Oh

Brooke didn't know what to say, her dad never mention anything about his past here in Roswell, and it would nice to see him have friends again. John life fell apart after the divorced and he couldn't focus anymore and he felt depressed, thats why he decided to move to Roswell because want to live in a place that felt like home. Brooke and John walked in the Restaurant, Brooke felt like that she been here before, it felt like home. The place looked like a cafe, it has table booths, regular table and chairs, and place up front where you can eat at the counter. The place was covered in alien decorations and balloons. Brooke didn't care about the decorations but it was still weird. Brooke and her father sat down at the nearest booth and sat down. She waited for someone to come and take their order, a girl in a alien uniform

Waitress: What can I get you folks?

Her name tag said Maria, she had long curly blond hair, she was petite like her and she must of been at least 18 years old.

Brooke: Um well i don't know can you give us a few minutes please?

Maria:Sure take all the time you need, its not the cook doing anything anyway

The waitress had a distressed look on her face and walked away. Brooke couldn't figure out where she had seen her before, or why that expression wasn't surprising to her.

Brooke:I think I'll have the will smith and an alien blast, what about you dad?

Her dad wasn't paying any attention her, he was looking at the counter like he was looking for someone.

Brooke: Hey dad are you looking for someone?

John: Uh yea I am but i don't seen him anywhere (as he turned head round)

Brooke didn't know what he was talking about,

Brooke: Who dad?,Oh, you talking about Jeff Parker?

John: Yea, but i don't see him anywhere, but then again i probably won't know what he looks like, its been 20 years since the last time i saw him

Brooke didn't know what he looks like either, so she decided to go up to the waitress and asked for him. Brooke gets up from the booth and walked over to the counter, John stopped her.

John: Where are you going?

(Brooke didn't answer right away) Brooke: I'll be right back

She walked over to the counter and saw another waitress, Maria was over by the kitchen complaining about something to the cook. This girl had long black hair and black eyes and her name tag said Liz, and for some reason she thought she seen her somewhere too but she didn't let that bother her. She went up to Liz,

Brooke: Um hi

(Liz turned to her)Liz: Hi what can do for you

Brooke felt very safe around her and liked the way she said that.

Brooke: Hi I'm looking a Jeff Parker?

(she laughed)Liz: " He is in the back, I'm her daughter Liz Parker, what can i do for you?

Brooke: My dad is looking for him, he said that he's an old friend of his

She looked around and saw my dad sitting there, and turned back to me

Liz: Oh, okay I'll go and get him, what's your dad's name?"

Brooke: His name is John Rosa

Liz: Okay I'll be right back"

Liz said as she went into the back room, Brooke walked away

(Brooke turn around to look at Liz) Brooke:We'll be just sitting right over here

Brooke walked over to her seat with her dad and sat down, her dad was looked confused

John: Well?

Brooke: That waitress that was over there, it was her daughter, she said that he was in the back

(John looked surprised)John: Oh okay

Maria walked back over to ask us what we wanted to eat

Maria: Did you guy decide what you want to eat

She said that in a cheerful but still distressed tone. It didn't look like that her dad was going to say anything so Brooke spoke up.

Brooke: We are going to have two will smiths and two alien blasts

Maria: Okay good choices, we will bring it out soon

Brooke: Okay thanks

Maria took the menu's and walked back over to the counter. As they were waiting a man walked in from the back, he looks about her dad age, he had black hair and black eyes which can only mean one thing because he look just Liz, it was Jeff Parker. Jeff walked out over to the table

Jeff: Well if it isn't the man himself, Mr. John Rosa

(John got out of his seat and hugged the man)

John: Ah man, Jeff you look the same as you did 20 years ago, how are you?"

Jeff sat down next to John and pulled out a chair from another table.

Jeff: Well i have been good, got married a long time ago, and I have a 17 year old daughter who is just over there and I pretty much own this place, how have you been?"

John didn't know what to say but he told the truth,

John: Well after i got out of college, I got married to my girlfriend and we had Brooke

He pointed at Brooke, who waved at Jeff,

John: and we got divorced about a couple months ago, so i decided to move back to Roswell

(Jeff was surprised to hear that)Jeff: Ah man you moving back, that's great so how long have you been in town?

John: Uh, not long actually we just came from the airport and our stuff isn't here yet so we thought to stop by to get something eat

Jeff didn't know what say so Brooke spoke up,

Brooke: Yea, so this town sure into the whole alien thing, is it because of the whole Roswell Crash in 1949?

Jeff was caught by surprised when Brooke was talking to him

Jeff: Yea, its a pretty big thing around these parts, so you know all about the whole crash

Brooke: Yea, I learned about it in my history class but I don't really believe in the whole alien thing though

Jeff: Ah, don't worry not alot of people around here believe it either"

By the way the town looks, she was surprised by that. John cell started going off so he told it out and put it to his ear

John: Hello, uh yea we will be right there, ok bye" John put the phone away and said Brooke that was the movers they are here, we have to get over there right away

Brooke was glad that her stuff was here, so she got out of her seat and headed for the door. John stop and looked at Jeff

John: Sorry to leave so soon but they are charging by the hour so.."

(Jeff gave a "I don't mind" look) Jeff: its ok, go in get settled in and come by the house and we can have dinner sometime

John: That sounds good, oh by the way i'm sorry about ordering and then taking off

(Jeff waved his hand) Jeff: Don't worry about it, and come on by soon ok

John: we will, bye

John and Brooke went out the door and just before Brooke got in the car, she saw the cook in the kitchen staring at her, Brooke didn't know why but she of swore that she has seen him before but doesn't know where yet. Brooke didn't let that bother her, so she and John drove off into the street and then to their new house.
