It is now 7pm and as usual Felicia is sitting under her gumtree.

"Mmmm... I can't believe that I have to sleep on an old single bed," Felicia whispers to herself.

Suddenly Felicia hears the regular crunching sounds from the bushes.

"Ok whoever you are, can you please come out?! I am sick and tired of hearing those crunching sounds every time I am at my fabulous gumtree!" Felicia shouts with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

The crunching sounds suddenly stop and Felicia immediately rolls her eyes.

"Don't you see, when I am at my gumtree I feel at peace... But now since I know some creep is in the bushes every time I come to my tree - my peace dies..." Felicia shouts. She feels kind of angry ever since Mr sexy Marcus stole her privacy.

Jaffa starts feeling guilty and realizes that he is acting like a creep.

I can't just show myself to Felicia... She will see my true appearance! Wait, my true appearance looks completely different from my disguise. She won't think I am James if I show myself to her, Jaffa thinks.

Jaffa's heart starts pounding fast as he slowly walks out of the bushes. He clears his throat to get Felicia's attention. I can't believe I am doing this. I wonder how Felicia will react, Jaffa thinks.

Felicia immediately stands up and just stares at Jaffa. The moonlight is shining bright onto Jaffa, so Felicia can see Jaffa's thick blue hair, gold sparkly eyes and tan olive skin. Felicia instantly thinks that she is dreaming, due to the fact that she has imagined creatures to look like the creature that is standing in front of her.

Jaffa is in shock, as he was expecting Felicia to run away like every human would probably automatically do if they saw him. "You're different," Jaffa says without thinking.

"And you're beautiful," Felicia says sweetly.

"Uh, what ... uh," Jaffa murmurs.

"My mind obviously is magical..." Felicia announces while taking in every inch of Jaffa's appearance.

"What do you mean?"

"You're my dream!"

"Dream?!" Jaffa shouts. He can't believe that Felicia thinks this is a dream, but then he starts to remember some of Felicia's thoughts. When Felicia has been sitting under the Gumtree, she has imagined 'beings' to look like him. She indeed has a realistic imagination, Jaffa thinks.

"Yes, I must be dreaming. Ha, but it would be a miracle if you were the creature that was always in those bushes every time I am at my gumtree..." Felicia says.

"I am not a creature... I am a..."

"A what?" Felicia smiles.

"Alien!" Jaffa irrationally announces. Should he have just blurted that out? Jaffa at the moment isn't thinking straight. He also feels a bit angry due to his brother's unexpected appearance.

"Wow..." Felicia gives Jaffa another smile.

"And you're not dreaming. I know you believe that there are other beings out there in the universe Felicia!" Jaffa says and then he realizes he said her name.

"You know my name, huh?"

"Yes... I know your name because I can mind-read!"

"See I must be dreaming..." Felicia has definitely imagined creatures to mind-read, so this has to be a dream of hers.

"How can you say that, when you believe in aliens! Do you suddenly forget that you believe aliens exist once you meet one? Are you not different?"

"I-I-I would think I am different... but I don't understand if I am dreaming or not right now."

"Felicia I am the one who is always in the bushes. I watch you write and read. You simply intrigue me."

"Oh my..." Felicia suddenly feels like she is going to faint and she does.

Jaffa races to her side and picks her up bridal-style and then starts walking to the hostel.

"Hey brother, what are you doing with my beautiful room-mate?" Marcus suddenly says out of nowhere.

"Shut it brother!"

"You're in your true form! And-and has Felicia seen you?"

"Yes, she thinks I am her dream though," Jaffa says while rolling his eyes.

"Oh umm, anyways I should explain why I am here..." Marcus says.

"I believe you are here to take my place. You are here to investigate earth, so you can understand the human being, earth's plants and animals. Am I correct?" Jaffa asks sarcastically.

"Yes, Jaffa... Mother insisted that I take your place. You need to be back home! Our family and friends miss you."

"I can't leave her."

"Her!" Marcus points to Felicia.

"You barely know the girl-"

"I do know Felicia!" Jaffa snaps.

"Jaffa, you cannot get attached to a human. Humans are not allowed to know about Corba."

"I do know that, so I decided to stay on earth... maybe."

"What! You can't stay just for Felicia."

"Felicia is lonely. She has never felt accepted by anyone in her life. No one loves her or cares for her. I want to be the first 'being' that is there for her. Corba can exist without me brother."

"You're out of your mind. You know our parents will disagree with this decision. The Corban government will not approve."

"So, I will appreciate it if you do not tell our parents or any other Corbans!"

"Brother, I will ring mum and ask her if you can stay for 2 more months. After those 2 months, I am assuming you will be over Felicia."

"Okay then," Jaffa murmurs.

"Also brother, you will be the one who sleeps on the single bed," Jaffa strictly says.

"No - come on Jaffa!"

"It's Felicia room! Not yours."

"Okay... okay then..."

"Can you hold Felicia while I put my disguise back on?!"

"Sure, I would love to hold my angel!"

"She is not your angel," Jaffa snaps.

"Brother you don't really look handsome with your disguise on," Marcus randomly announces.

"Shut it Marcus!"
