Been a fan of the movie ever since I watched it. Might as well write something about it, you know...

It's a Klaatu/Helen fanfic, in case you're wondering once again- gah ignore this...

There's also a good chance that I could.. spice things up between the pairing later on.

I could be editing things as well to make this a little more of something you can really enjoy- that's why I need reviews...

DISCLAIMER: I own nothing except this fanfic I wrote.

Hope you like it TwT

Chapter 1/Prolouge

The locust clouds have finally stopped and all slowly fell to the ground like snow. The dark clouds cleared and outcomes a pleasant 'hello again' from the blue

sky accompanied by the bright sun and its warm rays of light.

Feeling relieved, Helen slowly and cautiously steps out from under the bridge with Jacob folowing right beside her. The two paced steadily towards the sphere

as if they are drawn to it. Klaatu, is the first name that ever pops into her head after she sees no sign of the alien anywhere. He saved us and gave us a second

chance to change. I don't know how I can thank him for it.

As soon as the step-mother and her step-son walk closer towards the sphere, it lifts itself off the ground slowly. Almost like a hot air balloon, the sphere

steadily lifts to the sky.

"It's leaving," Helen says as they both observed the sphere float upwards through the sky.

"No. He's leaving," Jacob corrects her as they start tilting their heads up, fascinating it was to watch that thing. The sphere now looked like a second sun in the

distance as it floats higher, higher and higher, it went.

"Who is leaving?" a distant yet fimiliar voice asks the two and it sounded like it came from behind them. The duo turns around to see a man quite tall, still

wearing a modern suit and a neutral expression still remained on his face. His suit is looking new though- no shreds or tears and his face had not a single

scratch as if he had never walked through that cloud that ate anything in its way including humans.

"Klaatu!" Jacob exclaims as he ran towards the alien with open arms. After a short run, he finally reaches the man and clanged to him with his arms around the

alien's waist. Surprised, Klaatu is clueless of what Jacob is doing and unsure of how he can respond to it. Though, he was assuming he should do the same to

Jacob so he awkwardly knelt down in one knee to match Jacobs height and placed his arms around the child's shoulders. Well, this does not normally happen. So

innocent, naive, and quick to change his judgments about me, Klaatu thought to himself.

From the sight of it, as Helen watched, she remembers how Jacob always wore that smile back at those days with his father, his days so abundant and thriving

with joy. Before he had died in the army as an engineer, her thoughts added. As smile remains across her face as she watches the two.

Moments later, Jacob finally lets go of Klaatu. He then faces Helen as he manages to stand up in his two feet again. Jacob too, faces back at his step-mother. It

was a moment of silence, perhaps too silent that each minute felt like an hour. The moment made Jacob slightly uncomfortable so he takes a step forward.

"Helen?" He calls out, in attempt of trying to make her respond. Her eyes were still fixated to Klaatu's. She finally blinks a few times, looks away for a moment,

then gazes back in his eyes again. At the second gaze, her smile reappears as she walks towards the man and Jacob.

"Thank you. Thank you for giving us a second chance. I promise you, we'll take advantage of that and you won't regret it," Helen says to Klaatu while she

pressed her palms together as if she were praying.

"No," Klaatu says, "Thank you for wronging me of my decisions to commit a terrible mistake." After saying so, he manages a small smile for the first time. It

seemed that my smile might have lifted the two human's emotions a little more, he thought to himself. Indeed, the two smiled wide and were thrilled to have

finally seen the alien change his expression just by a tiny bit.

A minute or two later, three vehicles have arrived in Central Park- where the three stood. There arrived an armored car, a police car, and a black van. From the

black van, the speaker for the president or the Secretary of Defense- Regina Jackson, emerges from the back seat of the van escorted by a big man in a suit,

who also quickly trails behind her as she walks toward the three, ignoring the dead nanites scattered all over the ground. She stops a few feet away from the

alien, facing him directly. The three patiently await for her instructions. Surprisingly, she does not look as threatening as she was the first time she interrogated

Klaatu in the hospital. She also looks calm as if she is unaware of what Klaatu is capable of doing. She straightens her back the clears her throat.

"Well, I guess we can be thankful that you gave us a chance," Regina says as she remains where she was. The man in a suit behind her shifted as if he knows

something is going to happen. Klaatu's gaze at the man tells him that the alien won't do any harm so he too straightens his back to stand straight.

"From here on out, I do not want humans to see me as a significant threat. I will stay here in this planet for the rest of my life span in assistance for this human

race to change some of their ways of living that seem to affect earth," Klaatu says to the lady, "Are you not thankful that you trusted Helen?" Then he looks at

Helen, who steps closer to him with Jacob's hand in her's.

"I am thankful, yes. Thank you very much, Dr. Helen Benson, for making him change his mind. I should have listened to you in the start," She says with a smile

to Helen. On the other hand, the scientist was speechless, she did not know what to say after. She gratefully returns the smile to Regina, who takes out her

cellphone from her pocket to talk to someone. From the sound of her murmurs, she sounds like she's requesting more men to come.

An extra van arrives from the checkpoint to Central Park. Regina motions the trio to 'get in the van'.

"They'll escort you home," the lady says before she could walk back into her van.

As Helen passes her, Regina quickly tugs on her sleeve then held her arm. She leans close to her ear and whispers-

"If anything goes wrong, call this number," she tucks a small piece of paper into Helen's jacket pocket. Regina pats the scientist's back before she could hurry

to catch up to Klaatu and Jacob. She hops into the back after Jacob who shifts to move himself to sit in the middle. Klaatu sits next to Jacob at Helen's opposite.

The engines start immediately after the driver closes the car door after Helen. The ride would be approximately 20 mins, last time Helen remembers driving to

Central Park from their home.

As the van passes the checkpoint, Jacob yanks on Helen's sleeve. Helen knows he wants something so she leans close, ready to listen. Jacob cups his hands

around his mouth towards her ear.

"Can he stay?" He whispers,"he's not staying with the government is he?" Helen smiles. Who knew he liked Klaatu this much. He use to want to get rid of him, kill

him just to make sure, she thinks to herself. No matter. She cups her hands towards Jacob's ear.

"Yes, he can stay," she whispers to Jacob. A bright smile appeared on Jacob's face and begins dancing triumphantly with excitement. Then both looked at

Klaatu, who is just looking out to the window. Through the reflection of the window, he quickly noticed and turns to face them.

"Yes?" he asks politely. The two just quickly shook their heads and looked away. Jacob still wore a smile on his face. Was there something I did or said? Klaatu's

thoughts ask him. Helen on the other hand, asks herself, do we have a room? Yes, we do. The guest room.
