Will was on his way home from the library when it happened. There he was, minding his own business when out of nowhere a big blue box tumbled out of the sky and landed in an alleyway. "Landed," however, was a more controlled way of putting it. A better term, Will realized soon enough, was "crash landed".

Carefully Will peeked around the corner, looking in the alleyway to see if someone or, more realistically, something was going to pop out. When he felt confident that nothing was going to surprise him, Will stepped tentatively towards the machine.

It had landed awkwardly on its side, leaning against another one of the buildings for support. Luckily, it was late at night, and no one other than he was around to see or hear the crash. After all, alien technology like this was bound to be reported if someone else found out, but Will was too intrigued by it to let someone just whisk it away.

Having worked with technology for the better part of his life, Will understood the possibilities of the powers this one machine might hold. Carefully, Will reached out to touch the doors, but before his hand could make contact, the doors swung open and steam rushed out.

"What the-!?" Will exclaimed in surprise, coughing and fanning away the smoke. A man tumbled out of the…box and gripped Will's shoulders.

"Did you see that?!" he exclaimed, bringing his face uncomfortably close to Will's.

"Uh…sorry?" Will tried, turning his head to see the inside of the craft. Unfortunately, the doors closed before he had a chance to even sneak a peek.

The strange man before Will prattled off, "Wow that was so cool! I think there were a couple loop de loops in that landing!" He released Will and placed a hand on his own throat. "Oh wow my voice is much higher pitched this time round. Let me see…" He began humming a song Will didn't recognize before he turned to Will sharply. Will felt a nervous spike course through his veins, but the man just stared at him before commenting, "Did you know that your eyes are glowing?"

"I—"

And just as fast as he started off, the strange man before Will fainted at his feet.

It took Will a moment to process all that just happened. He stood there for a moment, staring at the blue box that stood haphazardly before him before allowing his eyes to wander down to the weird man that had fallen at his feet.

"I can't just leave him here," Will reasoned with himself after a brief moment. Will knelt down and searched the man's coat pockets for his keys before walking up to the machine and locking the doors. The machine, hopefully, could wait for some time before it would need repairs. The man, however, looked like he needed immediate attention.

Lucky for Will, his apartment wasn't located too far from the crash site. Unluckily, however, the man was more than a few inches taller than he was, making carrying him anything other than bridal style near impossible.

Will sighed. It wasn't the first time he had to bring a friend home like this anyway.
