A/N: I almost forgot when someone is talking to someone else in their minds it's going to be written in the same brackets as thoughts but italicized so - /-/ mind talk (for lack of a better term) /-/
Day aka carebear
Cassie Valenti looked around the café. It was fairly empty, and as soon as the last two tables emptied, they could close up for the night.
"Cass, earth to Cassie."
"Huh?" Cassie said turning to look at her best friend Juan. He had his black hair in a ponytail, and was covered in grease. /-/ Boy, he defiantly needs a bath /-/ she thought.
"Your order is done. Geez girl, what you do go to the home planet," he smirked.
"Yeah, whatever," she muttered, picking the order up and taking it to the table of tourists. "Here you go, One Moon Burger with Saturn Rings, and one Will Smith special. Can I get you anything else?"
"No thank you. Were fine," the women said.
"Ok, call if you need anything," Cassie smiled, then looked up as the theme to Men in Black played. At the door were two men and two women. /-/ Probably another set of tourists /-/ she thought. "Be right with you," she called, then went back to the kitchen window to talk to Juan.
"Hey Cass. You ok?" Juan asked.
"Yeah, just tired. And I still have homework to finish up. What time is everyone due home?"
"I think mom and Aunt Marie will be home soon. Dad's not due home till late. You better go take care of those four. Go ahead and lock the door too, its almost 10 anyways."
"K, thanks Juan," Cassie went to the front doors, locked them then went over to the four sitting at table six. "Hi, I'm Cassie. Can I get you something to drink?"
"Four cherry cokes," one of the guys said, Cassie noticed he had brown hair in a ponytail.
"K, be right back," Cassie started to leave.
"Hey!" ponytail grabbed her arm, "We umm, were ready to order now..."
"Oh, ok," Cassie nodded casting a side-glance at Juan who was moving out of the kitchen. "Um, what would you like?"
"Please excuse my friend here. He hasn't slept for a couple of days so he isn't acting like himself. I'll take a Will Smith special," The other guy said. He had black hair that held back by two parts tied in back of his head.
/-/ Interesting hairstyle. I think mom wore it that way when she was nine. /-/ Cassie thought.
"I'll have an order of Saturn Rings," Ponytail said.
"I'll have a Moon Burger," one of the women said. Cassie noticed this one had long blonde hair with purple streaks.
/-/ Man these folks are weird. I'm glad Juan's here, that and Grandpa should stop by again soon. /-/ "And what can I get for you?" she said to the final women who had curly blonde hair with red streaks.
"I'll have the alien waffles. One question, why do you call waffles with strawberries and cream Alien waffles?"
"I don't know, you have to ask my Aunt, she owns the place. I'll be right back with your drinks," As Cassie walked away she heard the purple blonde say something about a girl not being there anymore since she didn't have any siblings.
"You ok?" Juan asked as Cassie gave him the order.
"Yeah, do me a favor, make us an order of Saturn Rings, and we'll have a bite."
"Sure thing, what are you up to?" Juan asked
"I want to hear their conversation. I think they're talking about your mom," She whispered.
"Ok, no prob," Juan said as she took the cherry cokes to table six and took care of the checks for the other customers. Soon it was just her, Juan, and the four. When their order was up, she took them their food.
"Ok, here you go, can I get you anything else?" Cassie asked
"No thanks," Red blonde said.
"Ok, if you need me just holler, I'm gonna take my break and get some food."
"Ok, we'll be fine. Enjoy your break," Black hair said.
"Thanks," Cassie said and headed to the kitchen.
"I got us some Tabasco sauce. Want ketchup?" Juan asked from the fridge.
"Nah You know, I have to find out their names. Thinking of them by their hair color is just weird," Cassie said keeping her voice low. She turned on the CD player to hear Michael Bolton come on. "Mom's wanting a guy again."
"Doesn't she always?" Juan countered, setting the food and Tabasco sauce on the table next to a black box with two sets of headphones. Each of them grabbed a headphone and put them on. Immediately they could hear the conversation between the four people. "Thank you Uncle Kyle for insisting on putting these in the booths," Cassie whispered.
"Well, what are we going to do now your majesty?" a voice said sarcastically.
"I think that's ponytail," Cassie whispered.
"Shut up Micky!" a feminine voice said.
"That's red-blonde," Cassie said, "So ponytail is Micky."
"Don't call me that," Micky said
"Oh, I'm sooo scared," Red blonde continued.
"Both of you stop it," The other women said.
"Oh, were so sorry princess," Micky said sarcastically.
"Purple blonde is Princess. Hmm, weird names," Cassie said with a shrug.
"Why you..." Princess began.
"Stop it all of you. Eat your food. When Cassie comes back, we'll ask her about the Parkers. Obviously Liz doesn't own the place since she didn't have any siblings. Maybe she can tell us where Liz is now," The other guy said then all that could be heard was the sound of people eating.
Juan turned the box off and placed his headphones down. "Well, they are after mom. We can't let them find her, we don't know who they are."
"I agree. I will just do my thing," Cassie said with a smirk and headed out of the kitchen. She saw Juan begin cleaning the kitchen and she started on the tables. After about twenty minutes, Juan had joined her in the front and they had just finished cleaning the place up, minus table six.
"Hey, do you guys want desert or something?" Cassie asked the group while she picked up their dishes.
"Nah, we'll just finish our drinks. But thanks anyways," Dark haired said. Cassie and Juan did their dishes real quick and checked the clock. Almost 11.
"Well, Uncle Kyle will stop by soon. If they're not gone by then, then they will be soon after," Cassie said.
"Miss..." One of the women called from the front.
"Let's go," Juan said following Cassie out.
"Yes, can I help you?" Cassie asked.
"Yes, we were wondering if you could tell us who owns this place now?" Dark haired asked.
"I'm sorry, its policy, we can't give the owner's name," Cassie said.
"Oh, well, can you tell us what happened to the Parkers then?" Dark continued.
"You know the Parkers?" Juan asked.
"Yeah, we use to live here. They aren't the owners anymore, we could tell that by the changes."
"Yeah, well they were in a car accident twelve years ago. They didn't make it," Cassie said.
"Oh no," Princess gasped. "Do you know anything about Liz?"
"Liz who?" Cassie asked
"Liz Parker," Red blonde said.
"Never heard of her," Juan said.
"Oh. What about Alex Whitman, Maria De Luca, or Sheriff Valenti and his son Kyle. Are they still around here?" dark haired asked.
"Kyle Valenti is the sheriff now, his dad retired about four years ago and lives a couple miles out of town. I've never heard of anyone named De Luca, and the only Whitman I know is Juan. Do you know an Alex Whitman?" Cassie asked.
"No, I've never met an Alex Whitman. Sorry folks," Juan said.
"Oh, ok thanks anyways. I guess we better get out of here. Do you know if the Evens' are still around town?"
/-/ Juan, why are they asking about everyone? What if they're from the planet? /-/ Cassie called in her mind.
/-/ Chill Girl /-/ Juan thought back then said "No, I've heard stories about the Evens', seems their kids ran away from home some sixteen years ago. Everyone says they left a couple of years later. Some stories say they went crazy."
The princess women gave a quick gasp when Juan said 'crazy'. "Are you sure?" she asked.
"I'm just telling you what I've heard," Juan said
"They're lying," Micky said.
"What?" Cassie asked.
"You're lying. None of that's true," He said getting up.
"Listen buddy, you can believe what you like, but you have to leave now, the sheriff will be by soon, if you don't leave now, I'll have you arrested," Juan said stepping between Cassie and the man.
"Oh, aren't you brave," Micky taunted. Before he could do anything, Dark haired grabbed his arm. Then they heard laughter from the back.
