We are the alien children.

Think about it: the alien children are observing the terrible fate of Chester's Mill, for their own entertainment, and only make the arbitrary decision to remove the dome when the characters have, in a sense, earned their happy ending. Let's face it: the dome vanished at about the point you were also ready for it to go away.
