Roswell was a town full of little green men. Every shop on every main street had some sort of interpretation of aliens. Gift shop’s had windows painted with Rastafarian Aliens playing hacky sac. Statues of friendly little green men with antennae and smiles waving peace signs dotted the sidewalks. Menu items with ‘out of this world’ burgers and milkshakes adorned almost every restaurant. Even the McDonald’s was shaped like a spaceship.

Talia danced around as they walked through one of the many stores like a kid in a candy shop. “Isn’t this place so cute! I mean look at this.” She grabbed a shiny gray hat that had blinking lights and was shaped like a UFO from a table of souvenirs and posed, tilting her head this way and that while pointing her toes.

They giggled at her. “Looks good on you!”

Talia laughed. “Why, thank you.” She said dramatically while drawing out her words in an impression of a southern drawl. “I wish I had my phone, I really would love some pictures.”

Estrellas looked around the room. “Well look at this.” She stopped next to a stand of disposable cameras. “Isn’t this convenient.”

They unwrapped the camera from its packaging. Talia wrapped an arm around Estrellas shoulders which sent their heart fluttering, and when she leaned her head against theirs, they could smell her strawberry shampoo.

“Smile!” Talia said.

Estrellas leaned in and smiled wishing this moment could last forever.

Click.

“There. This moment has officially been preserved forever!”

Talia giggled and they had the overwhelming urge to turn their head the very small inch they needed to land a kiss on her lips. But they didn’t, Estrellas respectfully refrained knowing how much it would upset Talia since they were still in Angela’s body.

They cleared their throat and said. “So, I know the chances of finding legitimate information in this place is probably zilch-but we should go check out the museum anyway. What do you think?”

Talia looked them in the eyes and grinned. “Sounds like a great idea! Let me just go pay for this, be right back.”

Estrellas smiled as they watched her walk away and out of the corner of their eye, they could have sworn they saw an old man with stark white hair, staring at them. But Estrellas blinked and the man was gone, yet their neck hair still stood on end.
