A/N: Here's part two. Betaed by GleeJunkie007.
"Okay so the fair has aliens." Megan stated as a matter of fact. "Did we expect anything less?" She questioned as she looked at her siblings.
"These people can't be aliens. That woman walked right through me." Luke reminded them.
"Well if not aliens then what?" Fiona wondered.
Then before anyone could stop her, Alison scooped a rock and threw it at one of the rides; it shimmered and wavered slightly before coming back into focus.
"Holograms." Alison said, triumphantly and Fiona pulled her phone out.
"There's no signal. How can there be no signal?" She groaned out in frustration.
The rest of them pulled out their phones, but found them either dead—like Megan—out of service range—like Alison—or in a dead zone—like Luke; this meant they couldn't call Sarah Jane.
"We should leave." Fiona said, as they headed towards the exit but when they got to they found the gates were locked.
"Use your sonic." Megan looked at Fiona. Like Sarah Jane, Fiona also had a Sonic device, but instead of a lipstick, hers was a compact mirror. She took it out pointing it at the gate, but nothing happened.
"Maybe it's fake like everything else." Alison reached out to touch the gate .
"No! Don't touch it!" Luke cried pulling her back, like Alison did earlier, he threw a rock. Unlike the ride, that had shimmered and wavered, the gate crackled with electricity sparks.
"How did you know? " Alison asked, shakily.
"I heard it humming. Electricity hums." Luke explained.
"Now what? Apparently someone—or something—does not want us to leave." Megan said.
The fair, that had seemed bright and friendly, suddenly took on a dark. Foreboding sinister feeling, dark clouds rolled across the sky and drops of rain started to fall, softly at first in drizzles, but then it transitioned to pouring rain until the four of them were becoming drenched. They ran towards a building. Fiona pulled open the door and they found themselves standing in a dark, vast empty room. It took a while for their eyes to adjust to the dark and that's when they did they realized the room was not quite as empty as they thought. In the middle of the room was some sort of craft; it was oblong in shape and took up nearly half the room. They stood there staring at it then Megan broke the silence.
"Okay. Definitely aliens, then." She stated.
"That much is obvious, but why a fun fair? And where are the aliens?" Alison asked, voicing that question that was clearly on all their minds.
No one knew just then two people stumbled into the room. At first glance, they seemed like an average couple—a bit plain; nothing about them stood out. The man had brown hair, brown eyes, and wore a white button down shirt with black trousers. The woman looked like her partner except her hair was longer and she wore a black skirt; everything about them screamed normal. In which, was why the Smith siblings were immediately suspicious. If someone had to try so hard to seem normal, chances they were not. But right now, they looked frantic and scared. The woman was trembling and both couples eyes were wide with fright.
"Have you seen them?!" The woman cried looking around wildly.
"Seen who?" Fiona asked cautiously.
"I don't know there were these horrible creatures like something out of a horror movie " The woman shuddered visibly.
"They chased us in here." The man added.
"We haven't seen anything," Fiona replied. She was starting to think maybe this couple was normal after all; just scared and very boring.
"You don't have a smell." Luke said suddenly.
"Luke," Fiona groaned, along with the rest of her sisters. She turned to couple. "Sorry, he doesn't understand some—most things," She vaguely explained as she pulled him away.
"What do you mean they don't have a smell?" Megan asked.
"Everyone has a distinct smell." Luke started to explain. "You smell like strawberries and roses. Fee smells like grease, peaches, and vanilla. Ali smells like grass and lemon. Mum smells like lavender. Maria smells like lilies. And Clyde, he smells like chips." Luke gave them examples—though to the girls, he basically listed the smells of every person he had contact with.
"That's a bit creepy that you know how we smell." Alison commented.
"He is right though. People do have distinct scent, but how do you know those people don't have a scent?" Fiona looked at him.
"They just don't. They also don't look like they're breathing and they don't blink. People blink, at least, fifteen to twenty times a minute; they never blinked once." Luke replied.
"So they might be aliens but the most important question is, are they good or bad?" Fiona asked
"They seem scared, but of course they could be pretending." Megan replied as they all turned back to the couple.
-Line break-
The aliens turned out to not be the evil variety. They just needed a source to power their ship. They were using brain power. The fun fair was half-real though, some parts were holograms and the electric fence was what the ship was temporarily running on. They needed brain power, but nobody that came through the fair had enough. Luke with his mind of ten thousand, however, had more than enough to power the ship. Fiona argued that there was no way they were using him to power their ship. They assured the girls the process would not hurt. It's just a device attached to his head and it wouldn't use every part of his brain, only a small part. After much arguing, Luke won out.
"Mum would help them." Luke pointed out, firmly sticking to his decision to help them.
"If anything happens to him—" Fiona let the threat hang in the air. The entire process took about fifteen minutes and when it was done, Luke sat up with a slightly confused look on his face, but it faded momentarily. The alien couple thanked them before getting into their ship and fading away.
"We are not telling Mum about this." Fiona added.
Ten minutes later, they left the fair. They went back home to enjoy the rest of their weekend, hoping nothing to do with aliens would come up. But one thing was for sure; this small adventure would stay between the four of them; they didn't need to get into it with Sarah Jane.
