Chapter 25

2 weeks later

Belle and Shawn were now inseperatable and they were totally in love. Brady and Chloe had started to date and everyone seemed happy. Things were a little rocky between Mimi and Philip because Philip had been sick for so long.

Belle: Shawn I am worried about my brother. Philip has never been sick for two weeks before. He never gets sick. He is losing so much weight.

Shawn: We can't take him to the hospital because we don't know what will happen to you when the government finds out the truth. Maybe it is time Chloe tells Craig and Nancy the truth. Craig is a doctor and he can help Philip.

Belle: Can we go talk to Chloe now I am so worried about my brother I don't know that I would do if something happened to him.

Shawn: Okay baby, anything you want let's head over to Chloe's house.

Chloe's House

Chloe: Brady is Philip doing any better?

Brady: No he isn't. He has never been that sick before I don't know what is wrong with him. He said he gets chills really bad and feels like he is going to pass out.

Chloe: Maybe it is time that we talk to my dad we can trust him.

There was a knock at the door so Chloe went to answer it. While Brady called Mimi and told her and Philip that they needed to come to Chloe's so they can all talk together.

Philip and Mimi got there and after much persuasion they convinced Philip and Brady that they could trust Craig. Chloe, Mimi, and Shawn headed downstairs to talk to Craig in his office hoping he was in a good mood cause they had no idea how he would take this.

Chloe: Craig do you have a minute we need to talk to you about something.

Craig: Sure sweetie it sounds important what is on your mind?

Chloe: Craig you aren't going to believe this but try to keep an open mind and realize that I have never lied to you before.

Craig: Okay tell me what is going on.

Chloe: Well you see about seven months ago Shawn and Cynthia were up at lookout point watching the meteors when they saw something crash.

Craig: Okay so keep going. I am with you so far. You saw the meteor crash but what has Mimi so upset.

Chloe: Craig we found a spacecraft. And there were three people in it. They look human and they are just like us we had to teach them a lot but they are just like us. I know this is hard to believe but we need your help and I wouldn't come to you if this wasn't the truth.

Craig was about to die laughing on the floor this was the most insane story he had ever heard. He was about to comment on that when he saw Mimi break down into tears and Chloe rushed to her side.

Chloe: It is alright Mimi we will find someone else to help us. I thought I could trust my own dad but he doesn't believe us. We will find Philip help I promise.

Craig: Wait. Hold on a second you are serious aren't you.

Chloe: I told you that already. Craig, one of them is really sick we don't know what is wrong with him. He is losing weight and he is having fainting spells and is always dizzy.

Craig: Is it your three foreign exchange students?

Chloe: Yes it is and I didn't lie they are from a foreign land just not England like I said.

Craig: Send them down here and let me run some tests on him and I will try to see what is wrong with him.

Philip came down and Craig did the all the tests. They waited patiently for the results, which came in two hours later.

Craig: I hate to say it but it looks like Philip has some rare disease. I don't even know what to call this. I've never seen it before. I don't know how to treat it.

Chloe: What are we going to do?

Philip: Am I going to die?

Belle: No! Craig, you can't let my brother die. Please make him better.

Craig: I'm really sorry but I don't know what to do.

Brady: I have the answer. Philip needs to go home.

Mimi: What good would that do? He would still be sick.

Brady: No, you don't understand. Philip needs to go back home. To our home planet of Phatos.

Belle looked at Shawn and their eyes met. She nodded.

Belle: Brady is right. Philip could get help back home.

Mimi: Where is Phatos?

Belle: It is a long way from here. Brady, how are we going to get back there?

Shawn: But Belle, I don't want you to leave. I will miss you too much.

Belle: I'm sorry Shawn. I love you too but if this will save my brother then I have to go.

Brady: We have to contact them somehow.

Philip: Remember our special watches we received. We were told to just push a button and talk into them. Someone will answer.

The three looked at their watches on their wrists.

Brady: Let's go.

Shawn's house

Brady ended up getting into contact with a friend from Phatos. The friend was coming in a space shuttle to pick them up. Each couple was spending time together before being separated.

Chloe: Brady, I'm going to miss you so much. Will you ever come back?

Brady: I promise to return to Earth as soon as Philip is healed.

Chloe: What if Philip never heals? Will you still return to me?

Brady: Philip will be healed. Our planet is very good with sick. We have things there that you would never think of on earth.

Chloe: It sounds really nice. And I still can't believe that you are an alien.

Brady: My people are different from you. We speak a different language up there. But smart are we.

Chloe: You are very smart. I'm so glad that I got to met you.

Brady: I will return to you Chloe.

Across the room, Mimi and Philip were having their private conversation.

Mimi: I just know that you are going to get the help you need.

Philip: I will get better and come back here.

Mimi: I hope with all of my heart that is true.

Philip: I will never forget you, Mimi. You are so special to me. You helped me with so much and to adjust to life on Earth.

Mimi: I wish you had never gotten sick. It isn't fair.

Philip: I will get help. You can't keep me down very long. I will be back before you know it.

Mimi: I'm going to miss you.

Philip: I'm going to miss you too.

Shawn and Belle were kissing each other and trying to enjoy the last few minutes together.

Shawn: Do you really have to leave me?

Belle: I can't let Philip die. If he stays here that is what will happen.

Shawn: I know and I love you even more for caring so much about your brother. Will you come back to Earth?

Belle: I'm in love with you, Shawn. I promise that nothing is going to keep me from coming back to you.

Shawn: Will you contact me somehow while you are up in space?

Belle takes off her pink watch and hands it to Shawn.

Belle: I know this is pink and you will not wear it but keep it with you. You can contact me with it. I won't be speaking in English though. We have our own language up there and I won't be able to speak where you can understand me. But you can hear my voice and know that I am telling you how much I love you.

Shawn: Are you sure it will work? I'm not from there.

Belle: I've never been in this situation before so I don't know if it will work or not. It doesn't hurt to try it out.

Shawn: Please be careful up there in space.

Belle: Nothing is going to happen to me. I've lived there all my life. I will be fine and I will come back to you as soon as we know what is wrong with Philip.

Brady clears his throat and gets everyone's attention.

Brady: It is time to go. We have to met Jett now.

Look Out Point

Everyone watches in awe as the small space craft landed. The door opened and a tall man with black hair stood in the opening.

Jett: It is time to come back home.

Brady: That is Jett. He is a close friend and the leader of our people.

Chloe threw her arms around Brady.

Brady: I'm going to miss you too, Chloe.

Chloe: Good luck.

Brady: Bye everyone.

Brady gives a quick wave and walks into the space shuttle.

Philip: I guess this is it.

Mimi: I am going to see you very soon and when I see you again, you are going to be very healthy.

Philip: I will be back soon. Bye guys. I will see you soon.

Philip climbs aboard, leaving only Belle left. She turns to Shawn and hugs him tightly.

Belle: I won't be gone long.

Shawn: I will miss you terribly.

Belle: I love you so much Shawn. Please don't forget about me.

Shawn: I love you and I always will. I could never forget you. Just don't meet any space guys up there.

Belle: You are the only one I want to be with you. I love you and I will be back soon.

Shawn: You better or I will have to come up there and find you.

Belle and Shawn kiss each other passionately.

Shawn: I love you.

Belle: I love you. Bye Shawn. Chloe, thanks for letting me stay with you. And Mimi thanks for being a great friend. I will see you guys real soon. I love you all. Shawn, I really love you. Bye!

Belle kissed Shawn one more time and climbed the steps. She stood in the doorway and waved, taking one last look at her friends. Slowly, she walked on inside and the door shut. Chloe, Mimi, and Shawn stood watching as the small round space ship ascended into the air and disappeared before their eyes.

The End!
