Desert a couple miles from Roswell, New Mexico
Three shadowy figures emerged from a glowing rock formation. "So should we start at the Crashdown?" One of the figures asked of the other two. "Sounds like a plan to us." They answered.
The Crashdown: 30 minutes after closing:
Kyle was sitting in a booth eating french fries, covered in Tabasco sauce and syrup, while flipping through a car magazine. Liz, still in uniform, plopped down across from him. Reaching over she took a fry and popped it into her mouth. "So when is Maria supposed to be in town?" Kyle asked flipping to the next page. "She said that they were going to be here in a couple hours. They had just passed the Arizona border when I called her earlier." Liz sat back trying to get more comfortable.
Kyle looked up from his magazine and frowned. "So I guess my date tonight is canceled huh?" "I'm sorry Kyle but when I talked to Maria earlier she said that this was very important." Heaving a sigh Kyle scooted out of the booth and stood up. "I better go call Mindy and tell her I'm not going to make it." With that Kyle headed towards the break room. Resting her chin on her hands Liz looked blankly out the window. She couldn't wait until eleven when Maria's car would pull up and her friends would be home. They had been in Arizona at Maria's uncle's ranch for the past month and it had been difficult without them.
Suddenly Liz jumped and the sound of the bell over the door. She was positive that she had locked it after the last customer had left. Turning around she gasped at a sight that she thought that she would never see again. Standing in the doorway of her parent's restaurant were the three aliens that had changed her life forever. They looked so different. They were all dressed in black and they all looked harder, sadder and more powerful then when they had left. They looked like they had been fighting a war.
"Well Mindy was sure pissed. I bet I'll never hear..." Kyle's words abruptly ended when he caught sight of the three standing in the doorway. "Holy shit!" Was the only thing that Kyle could seem to get past his lips. "It's nice to see you too Kyle." Michael smirked. "Uh...so." Liz didn't know what to say.
Just as Max opened his mouth to say something the cafe's door crashed open.
