Love will get you killed.

There is something to be said about getting immersed into a subject.

Don't.do.it.

I throw this warning out, because there was a time when I got immersed in the subject of UFO's and extraterrestrial life.

Not "immersed" as in I joined the X-files team, down on my knees, throwing my hands to the sky like Mulder yelling "I WANT TO BELIEVE!"

No, I simply mean I was fascinated by the subject. I was more on the debunking side of things, when somebody submitted a photo, I could quickly say "oh yes, I see what you see there, but that really is caused by a lens flare, sensor overload, dust, etc"

But there are just some things I COULD NOT explain. This got MoonGoddess involved and we started gobbling up unexplained stories like Asian school girls and rice balls.

*heh* I said balls.

ANYWAY. One beautiful summer night came around, and there was no cloud cover. I can't remember the initial reason we had gone outside to look at the sky. There were several events that were around that time. Although I'm pretty certain, no I'm positive it was a meteor shower at that time.

We had gone out, and both our luck is atrocious for spotting meteors.

And by "Atrocious Luck" I mean we are REALLY impatient. But within moments we were outside, I saw one and got excited, and then she saw one too. This further fueled us to stay just a weeeee bit longer outside "just in case".

Whilst staring at the sky, we got to joking. This wasn't the same type of joking as we did with the Werewolves who snacked on apartment dwellers (Although, that IS true), this was more of a 'what if' and 'do you think' conversation.

"What would you do if you saw a UFO" type question.

Then, the neighborhood fell quiet, extremely quiet. This caught both our attention immediately as we looked to each other and said "Wow...that is...creepy..." A flash caught our eyes as a very low metor streaked across the sky, a very bright green color and low. We looked to each other in excitement and went "WOW!!! DID YOU SEE THAT!!!"

The celebration however, was cut short. For from the corner of the house came a very...VERY strange noise. I can't even think of a way to describe it, it was that strange.

We both glanced at each other with the same "WTF" face and fear and she said "Did....did you hear that?"
"Yeah but it's probably noth--"
*Creepy ass noise again*

We both bolted towards the stairs. I made it about two up and turned sideways, because she was behind me. I didn't want to run in in front of her, how douchey. But instead of her simply running past, I was grabbed my my shirt and pulled DOWN THE STAIRS and back into the yard, as she used my body for leverage to help speedily BOLT her up the stairs.

See that? She was hurling me to the wolves...er...aliens to be eaten!!! I paused out of LOVE and she was going to get me KILLED!

She has since given me her side of the story as to why she did that. She swears it wasn't to get me eaten, or to throw me behind her. I believe it was more along the lines of she was grabbing me to pull me in the house with her, and it all went horribly wrong.

But I can't remember, because I know she was trying to get me eaten.

Meanie.
