I wake slowly and stare at the ceiling listening to the sound of my brother's drool hitting the floor… I need to get some roommates or something… It is WAY too empty and lonely in this house. I mean me and my brother Evan live alone in a 4 bedroom house for Christ's sake! I get up and stare at my reflection. There stands Viper Morphus in a matching set of black underwear… I look average as far as looks go. I'm not skinny but I'm not chubby either! I'm kinda short at 5 feet 3 inches tall and I have long blood red hair I usually tie back somehow.

I feel like braids today! I quickly brush and braid my hair before searching through my closet for something to wear… Lets see… A pair of jeans, the only thing I'll ever wear… And… Aha! A white t-shirt with a spiral sun on the top left corner! Perfect!

Now that I'm dressed. Breakfast and waking the drool-monster! I rummage through the cupboards and pull out a box of pancake mix. I smile in accomplishment and go strait to finding the pan. Was it in the bottom or top cupboard? Um… eenie meenie minie THAT ONE! Bottom it is then! Come to mamm-ahhhh

… It's not there… I totally knew that! I open the top cupboard with much difficulty and try to reach the pan.

"Come here…come to Viper… Come ON!" It then rolled out and hit me on the head… It hurt…

After burning myself, stubbing my toe and accidentally flipping a pancake onto my head I finally had a pile of nice, circular pancakes! I was going to eat, I sat down and everything, and then I remembered Evan… Do I HAVE to feed my brother my hard work?… Sadly I do…

There's something you should know about my little brother… I not only raised him myself but he's not like other teens… I know every girl says this about her brother but he is GENUINELY not human! Evan is a xenomorph. A very lazy one too! He was currently sleeping in his spit hammock despite the fact he owns a bed. My brother was your typical drone except for his xeno-blood green headphones, white wife beater and baggy jeans. He always has his mp3 with him. Even while he watches TV and movies.

I smiled at my brother and his drool puddle… Or should I say drool stalagmite… I go up and say nicely "Evan… Breakfast time~!" He doesn't budge. Ok then… "EVAN! WAKE UP!" Still nada. I sigh and go back to the good old smack to the head routine… One smack and he jumps to the ceiling. "Breakfast." I say as I walk away. I put one of the pancakes onto my plate and before I can even move to grab another Evan wolfs down the rest… Once he's done he says "Nice shape… BAAAD taste… You REALLY suck at cooking sis!… No offence!" I growl at him remembering what I went through to make those pancakes "None taken!"

I hand Evan a pile of papers the same colour as his headphones. He tilts his head. "What are these for?" I glare at him and state "We are getting roommates, whether you want to or not! It is WAAAY to quiet and lonely in here and I want some friends!" I walk out the door with him and leave to put up posters.

Just imagine it! A roommate or two that could be cute guys who fight over me! Or better yet! A hunky guy with nice hair and eyes for me and a pretty xeno-loving girl for my brother!… Neither will ever happen!

I look at my pile of only six papers and sigh. I was almost done! I searched for a surface unused by me. All posts, trees and boards are used up and Evan is probably already done and sitting at home watching TV while listening to his mp3! I groaned in complaint and smack my head against a nearby tree in frustration.

"Are you ok miss?"

"I'm fine… Just frustrated cause I've covered every surface in town with these papers and can't leave until I put these up…"I say with a sigh. He 'hmm's and suggests "You can give some to me and I'll put them up on my information board for my customers… " I smile and turn asking "Would you?" He nods. I stare at him. He was tall with leathery dreads, reptilian skin, no eyes, a xenomorph tail, mandables and xenomorph style legs. He was wearing a red t-shirt, jeans and a black leather jacket.

I smiled and introduced myself "I'm Viper! Please give these to anyone you know who needs a place to stay and doesn't mind xenomorphs!`` He smiled back and stated ``Me and my brother were looking for something… Maybe we could come over later?`` I nod and smile. ``I'd like that!` We stood in silence together before he introduced himself. ``I'm Prince.``

When I got home I found Evan chilling with his new roommates… Another drone and some cross between a xenomorph and a human teenager… The other drone was in a black t-shirt and tan cargo pants. His name was Draco and he was really sweet for someone who lived up to his aggressive sounding name. The other orange-ish skinned hybrid was named Allen and was a videogame nut Evan met in the grocery store… Allen wore baggy camo-pants and a black Mario t-shirt with a 1-up mushroom on the front.

The two chose to crash in Evan's room as fellow drones and left the two spare rooms still empty.

Good thing Prince and his brother are coming! I knew I would have to wait for them to come but I didn't care! I sat cross-legged on the couch and exclaimed "Let the waiting begin!"…

I don't think you understand… But absolutely every second you spend waiting for something is more excruciating then the last… Time goes in slow motion like snails stuck in molasses… INJURED snails stuck in molasses trying to go uphill on a 75 degree angle… With bricks glued to their backs!

Finally there was a knock on the door. I scrambled to it, slipping and hitting my head on it when unable to stop running. I rubbed my aching forehead and smiled at Prince and the guy who was obviously his brother. "That sounded like it hurt…"Prince stated as he walked in. I shrug modestly "I'm a klutz so I'm used to it!" Prince's brother was the same height with similar looks except for his golden eyes, spiked tail barb, normal legs and lack of mandables. Even their outfits were similar! The only difference was that Prince's leather jacket was replaced by a black puffy vest!

"I'm Spike… It's very nice to meet you miss." The other said before kissing my hand. I went redder than a ripe strawberry. His voice was pretty sexy and he was REALLY polite and romantic! I can't believe it but I think I'm hitting on an alien who is actually pretty lacking when it comes to most of my little wants in a man! Someone pinch me I think I'm dreaming! No… it's real… AWESOME! "P-please! C-c-call me Viper!" I stutter after struggling to form words like I usually do.

Spike smiles at me and states "You're pretty cute when you stutter like that…" I cover my face in embarrassment and drift off into my own little dream world. One where I date, marry and love this guy…

I enjoy it until my mind reaches one eventual outcome of it that sends me shooting back to earth like a meteor… Kids… I would die birthing his child, like mom did with Evan, and it would be absolutely HIDDEOUS! I shivered a little in my mental emo corner and stared at the room full of xenomorphs…

Living here and cooking for six would be murder!… But I'll survive…SOMEHOW!
