It was an average night, a calm peaceful night with the coyotes hollerin in the night and the crickets chirping along the riverbed. The sky was clear and free of any and all clouds and the moon hung high in the sky like a giant light. It was late enough at night that everyone in the small peaceful town was asleep, fast asleep in dream land, waiting to start another normal day when the dawn broke the sky. Without warning there was a strange sound, like the Boom of a Cannon as the time space line was broken, a shape suddenly covering the moon and blotting out the light, not that anyone would notice right away, the shape approaching faster and faster, seaming to shrink in size until it was barley the size of a charter bus or a personal jet, only in a teardrop shape. It was long, and flat, and it burst into light when it was about thirty feet in the air above the town, shining like a power plant into every window in the town as it unleashed an intense shrieking sound, as if to make sure that the town was most certainly awake. It was landing, just as the people began to walk outside to see what was going on, it was two stories tall, and and about one hundred and twenty feet long. It landed in the long grassy field just out of town and the people of the town gathered just inside the town, staring at the strangle shaped spaceship which was whirring like a microwave as it powered down, each light clicking off one at a time with a simple click until it was dark, and as silent as the world around it. Even the crickets had stopped chirping and the townspeople waited with hushed and bated breath as they watched for something, anything to happen. Without warning there was another whirring sound and the front of the ship opened up, a circular door just sliding out of the way, and a platform rising out of it like an elevator, revealing two very strange looking people. For the most part they looked human, but their eyes, and the color of their flesh very clearly indicated otherwise. They where as pale as snow, the taller female marked with red symbols all over her very revealed body, her eyes the color of roses or blood as she examined this strange new world, the wind fluttering her strange, strap like dress this way and that. The shorter male was yellow eyed, the slitted pupils and snow pale skin only made even creepier by the firm armor he was wearing, and the strange sword he held in front of him, clearly a warrior, or a bodyguard, ready to defend himself and the female without mercy should they be attacked. It was the female who spoke first, lifting her hand, palm flat out to them as if trying to push something away. We Great You, People of Earth. Her strong, crystal clear voice was etched with power and wisdom beyond human years, ancient accent lining her voice. we come with no harm in our minds, and hope to be great friends! she admitted pressing a button on the floor and a long flight of Steps unfolded, allowing both the strange aliens to descend onto earth, both of them pausing at the sight of a dog, that was growling at them, wanting to play, the male gripping his sword and aiming it at the Dog, but did not attack, yet. A simple warning. Someone come and fetch their child! he demanded, thinking the furry beast was a baby of some sort. They clearly didn't know much about humans.
