An Alien In Human's Clothing

An Alien In Human's Clothing is the first posted story in The Adventures Of Lili And Austin.

Plot
The story opens with Lili showing off all the candy that she has bought to Austin. She tells him that she is going to give it out to all the homeless people, which he does not believe. However, she soon proves him wrong by beginning the long walk down Parade Street, handing out sweets to the homeless living there. She soon reveals that she has had a tip-off that an alien is hiding amongst the homeless people, and the only thing that is known about the alien is that it is severely allergic to sugar.

They eventually find a homeless man who reacts badly to the sugar. He attacks them, knocking Austin away, and reveals himself to be the alien: a prince named Landor. He and Lili fight but the latter is overwhelmed fairly quickly. Austin steps in with his magic and freezes Landor in place, enabling Lili to knock him out.

After making sure a cleanup crew is on its way, Lili teases Austin with the answer to his most pressing question ("Why am I called Goldie?") and tells him that she will answer only if Austin beats her home. The story ends with Austin chasing after Lili, knowing he won't win.
