When It's Time To Leave Home...
Introduction
Time: 21.00
The jeep was standing deserted alone in the middle of the New Mexico desert. Almost a mile away stood its 4 young occupants staring at each other as though their world was going to end. In truth THEIR world is what awaited them..they had just received word that they could all go home. Suprisingly out of the four of them, Max Evans, Michael Guerin, Tess Harding and Isabel Evans-Whitman, not one of them looked even remotely happy..they all looked and felt drained as they all knew that they were expected to forget their human lives and return home to a planet they knew nothing about and to a species that they only faintly comprehended. The message had been mercifully brief but none the less effective or heartstopping. They had just over 20 hours to get ready and this was their only chance.. take it or leave it. The message had asked the "Royal Four" to come and also hinted that how could they not go when an entire planet was waiting on them. The silent question that resounded between the 4 of them was how could they leave? They were all human..this was their home..their lives.
"Well...what do we do now?" asked a tearful and scared Isabel.
"The only thing we can do...we go talk to them they have a right to decide or at least have a say in it...its their lives too that's being wrecked... we 'll each make our own minds up and if.. if we don't all decide the same we'll go our separate ways and pray that we can meet again...someday." Max's words were rational but his voice betrayed the anger and bitterness he felt about being dictated to by a planet that he had grown to despise over the years. He looked around and seen the faces of the others they were all the same empty faces dreading the future.
"C'mon we better get home...I don't want to miss a second that I don't need to."
The four figures quickly got back to the jeep and drove as fast as they could to the other 3 cars that they had left outside the town of Roswell while they drove to the desert. As they each left the jeep to get in their own car they had a quick glance at each other and quickly got in and drove of to their respective homes. As they each stopped the car they took a deep breath. One by one their hands found the door as they all wondered what they were going to do...
