Room 213 [fifth and sixth period]

Rory led Isabel back to her room and opened the door.

"Okay, weetiny bunnies," she said peering in. "I know there are some in here."

[Locked to Isabel for art-finding purposes, yo.]

"That...yeah. Do you know why you're on Earth?" Rory asked, biting her lip. "Is it part of that? Or what?"

[izzyalienqueen]

"We were supposed to come here and learn to use our powers. I guess they thought we'd be safe here." Isabel rolled her eyes. "Of course that plan went to hell when the ship crashed."

[auroryborealis]

"Eep," Rory winced. "Pilot? Or programming?"

[izzyalienqueen]

"We haven't a clue." Isabel said with a helpless shrug. "It's probably best to ask the government. They're the ones that made off with the wreckage."

[auroryborealis]

"Where are you from? Geographically and Earth-wise, I mean," Rory asked, smiling. "Because I totally have a guess, but I want to see if I'm right."

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel grinned. "If you're thinking Roswell, you're right."

[auroryborealis]

"So the whole Area 51 thing is true?" Rory asked, brows shooting up again.

[izzyalienqueen]

"I don't know about Area 51, that's actually up in Nevada. But I can say positively that the crash of 1947 was definitely not a weather balloon," Isabel promised.

[auroryborealis]

"Wow. Are there are more of you guys, then?" Rory asked, eyes wide.

[izzyalienqueen]

"There could be I guess. But, oh..." she stopped, suddenly understanding Rory's question. "The ship that crashed in 1947 was carrying our pods," she explained. "Whoever survived the crash managed to get them to a cave in the desert. And that's where we stayed, incubating I guess you could say, until we finally came out ten years ago."

[auroryborealis]

"Oh, wow," Rory breathed. "Okay. That makes sense. That's...incredible." She shook her head. "You know, I'm one of the boring people here. My deep, dark secret is that sometimes? I drink decaf. Just 'cause. No special powers, nothing."

[izzyalienqueen]

"There's nothing wrong with that," Isabel said quietly. "Sometimes I wish I was. It would be nice to look forward to normal things, you know, meeting someone special, having a career, a family. I don't think I'm going to get that chance."

[auroryborealis]

"You might," Rory said. "Or you might get something like that, but better. Or in the extreme. Your career? Planet-saving." She nodded once, firmly.

[izzyalienqueen]

"Would that make me a superhero?" Isabel grinned, making a deliberate effort to not think about the fact that she'd already died once trying to save the planet. "Because I'm not wearing spandex."

[auroryborealis]

"Don't blame you," Rory grinned. "I have a sidekick costume I have yet to wear, because spandex is ew."

[izzyalienqueen]

"Really? Who's sidekick are you going to be? Do you have a cool name?"
