Destiny Or True Love CC&UC Tn/Mt/Ad Ch36 16/04/07 COMPLE

Title: Destiny Or True Love

Characters: CC/UC – Max/Liz
Maria/OC
OC/Alex/?
Michael/Tess
Grant/Isabel/? <- (Watch this space)

Rating: Teen/Mature/Adult

Disclaimer: Nothing is mine, all Jason.

Summary: What if Max and Liz disappeared after they jumped into the river?

What if two newcomers arrive in Roswell? Will attraction bloom for Maria and Alex with those two? How about the fact that Tess has turned and set her sight on Michael, will Michael follow his destiny or his heart? It’s basically a story on Duty to the Heart or Duty to the Head.

Liz also finds out something that no one could ever imagine and someone is close to him or her, friend or foe?

Author Notes: This has two stories mixed together. Max and Liz learn things with each other and it has surprising results.

The second one was is, when I was watching the interview between Shiri and Majandra, what if the show has brought on Liz’s cousin like they were suppose to?

I’m going to try my hand at making the gang getting closer so there will be some girl talks and boys talks, in my other stories I usually have people hating each other and such so this is kinda a first.

Okay, this is completely different to what the epic Destiny was, everything up to Max healing Kyle happens, just make it that straight after Kyle, everyone went to the Pod Chamber – Except Jim and Kyle, they found out their destiny, they left the Chamber and Max and Liz got chased by the F.B.I again and jumped off the bridge.

I’m trying my best to keep everyone in characters, especially Maria because she is one of my favourite characters after Max and Liz. Maria won’t be doing any babbling in this story, if you feel that they are out of Characters – except from Michael and Isabel (Which is on purpose on my part) please let me know. Thanks!


WARNING NOTE: PLEASE READ FIRST BEFORE READING THE STORY!

This is NOT candy fan story, yes there are candy moments but they won’t be together, I’m still working out if I want them to get together in the end but that will mean I have to do certain things, it depends on the reviews I get. If candy fans don’t want to read this, they are welcomed to leave, it’s up you but I’m not promising that they will end up together.

Alex/Isabel – sorry stargazers, I love those couples but I always thought Alex deserved better so I have Alex with someone else and I’m giving you a warning about Isabel’s actions ahead of time.

If you have any problems with those couples, try and keep the flame to a minimum, you are welcome to PM me and let me know how you really feel.

This is a big challenge for me and I really hope that you will like it, it will be basically following the season 2 but I didn’t like it that much, yes because I’m a dreamer and Max and Liz didn’t get back together but mostly because there were too many loose end that were never tied up like Milton just up and leaving, Brody being ‘abducted’ how would Larek knew that he would go to Roswell and such so I’m basically going to tie them all up.

Enjoy!

If you are a fan of Michael/Tess, welcome. Don’t care who Alex is with or who Maria is with, welcome. Always wanted Maria and Alex to be with someone who will treat them better, welcome. Or you are just a plain dreamer and don’t mind who the others get together with; you are more than welcome.

Chapter 1


A petite brunette stealthily made her way through the tunnel, she was wrapped up in the arm of a taller brunette, both of them were soaking wet as they made their way to the end of the tunnel and looked about.

“We've got to hide,” Liz whispered and Max nodded as he looked toward the overturned bus.

“Is that the same one as before?” Max asked and Liz looked before rolling her eyes.

“Yes, good thing the F.B.I never found us before,” she whispered as they moved closer to the bus and stepped inside of it, Liz looked at her clothes and sighed. “And we really should find someway to disappear without getting our clothes wet,” she told him and he laughed.

“I think we'll be safe in here for a while. They don't know how far down river we got,” Max told her and Liz shot him a smile.

“I, distinctly, remember someone else saying that the first time we were here,” she told him and he smirked as he sat down and sighed while Liz looked toward the ceiling as her smile faded before looking at Max. “Oh god Max, what are we going to do?” Liz asked as she sat down next to Max and he shook his head.

“I don’t know Liz,” Max told her as he shook his head. “I really don’t know,” he admitted and Liz sighed as she swiped her hands over her wet hair.

“God Max, is it even safe to go back to Roswell?” she asked and Max looked at her, regret filling his dark eyes.

“Liz, I’m sorry for everything…” he started and she placed her finger on his lips, silencing him.

“Max, I’m not blaming you, Max I knew my life would be in danger when I found out the truth and frankly, I don’t care,” she told him, looking into his eyes.

“Liz…” Max argued but she just shot him a look, telling him to shut his mouth and he nodded, getting the message loud and clear.

“Maybe we should leave,” Liz suggested and Max looked at her.

“Liz?” he asked and she looked at him, desperation pleading in her brown eyes.

“Max, you’re not safe, the F.B.I already got you once, who to say they won’t get you again if we go back to Roswell?” she asked and shook her head. “I couldn’t cope if I lost you again,” she whispered and Max hugged her closer.

“They won’t,” he whispered and Liz shook her head against his chest.

“You can’t promise me that,” she whispered and he sighed, not saying anything else, she was right, as usual.

Jim was in the Quarry, he looked around and shook his head as lit up the lantern. He could hardly believe that they were here a few hours ago and it seemed like a lifetime ago.

He looked up when he saw Michael, Maria, Isabel, Tess and Alex come into the Quarry; Michael looked around then looked at Jim.

“Where are Max and Liz?” Michael asked as the gang came into the Quarry, Jim looked at them.

“They’re not here yet,” Jim, admitted.

“What?” Isabel demanded. “They should have gotten here before us!”

“It’ll be light soon,” Michael told them. “I’m going to look for them.”

“I’ll come with you,” Jim told him and they made their way over to the entrance, leaving the gang behind and made their way over to the cruiser.

“Liz,” Max whispered and Liz looked up at him. “I think we should leave,” he told her and she looked at him.

“Are you sure?” she asked and Max nodded.

“Liz, you’re right, Roswell isn’t too safe at the moment, we can’t risk the F.B.I getting their hands on Isabel and the rest, they are only after me because of my healing,” he reminded and she took in a deep breath before looking at Max.

“Let’s do it,” she told him and he nodded as they both made their way over to the exit of the bus and exited it and ran up toward the road and hurried over to the jeep. Max patched it up from where all the bullet holes had shattered it and they, both, got in the jeep and made their way back toward Roswell for their things.

Michael and Jim had searched the entire area of where Max and Liz had driven along before giving up, there was no sign of them and Michael was getting frustrated at the lack of seeing Max.

They headed back to the Quarry and shook their heads when they saw the gang, Maria turned to Alex and he wrapped her up in his arms.

“I’m sure they’ll be fine,” he whispered and she nodded as she huddled up into him, hoping to god that her best friend and boyfriend were safe.

Max waited in the jeep and watched as Liz snuck out of the Crashdown and placed her bag in the back seat of the jeep and got in herself.

“Any trouble?” he asked and Liz shook her head.

“Nope, mom and dad are out of town at the moment,” she told him and he nodded as they made their way over to the Evans house. They both hurried into the house and Max grabbed his bag and started filling it with clothes and such, he grabbed his bundle of money and his wallet before placing it in his bag. He grabbed his mobile and zipped his bag closed and looked at Liz.

“This is it,” he told her and she nodded as she took his out stretched hand and they both made their way through the house.

Pierce pulled up outside the quarry and let out a low mutter string of curses as he climbed out of the car and made his way over to the Quarry house, he couldn’t believe the new he had received.

Everyone looked up and watched as Pierce made his way down the steps.

“Max and Liz are missing,” Michael informed him and Naseco shook his head.

“They’re gone,” Naesco, correct.

“What?” Tess demanded. “What do you mean they’re gone?” Tess screamed.

“The agents told me that they jumped off the bridge, none of them have seen the pair of them since, we can only assume they either travelled too far down the river or they found some sort of shelter and left Roswell,” Naseco explained and Tess huffed.

“Of course, I bet any money that it was miss perfect parker,” Tess mocked out and Maria glowered at Tess from where she was encased in Alex’s arm and for the first time, since finding out that Max and Liz were missing, she felt a sense of hope that the two of them were finally going to work their relationship out and come back even stronger than before and couldn’t help the sense of satisfaction at the thought of the blonde hoe missing out on her chance with Max.

“So, we’re going to do it?” Liz asked as they exited the Evan’s house and Max nodded.

“Yeah, we’re going to do it,” Max told her; they both linked hands and hurried over to the jeep. Max threw his bag into the back seat, letting it rest on top of Liz’s bag and got into the driver’s side and put the jeep into car and they both rode off, leaving Roswell behind.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed, i'm glad that people like this story.

Elizabeth Kivana: Thank Amara for the banner. And I hated Season 2 being a huge cliff hanger, you will see a lot of changes along the story. Glad you like it. And panda2001 is right, he came back in Roswell after Liz came back then got killed.

tiredmuse: I know, i wanted to do a fic with Michael and Tess and I always thought Tess would turn to Michael if Max had taken off, so this is basically my thoughts on it. I hope you like the OC for Alex and Maria though you won't see them till later in the chapters. I probably won't give their location, just hints, thank Amara for the banner, she's the best! And for the connection, we'll see.

pandas2001: Hey, glad you like the story - was it actually said that Congress killed Naesco or did everyone just assumed that?

Zanity: Tell me about it so i decided to have fun with this story by making Max and Liz disappear and sort out their relatonship.

Behrsgurl*87: Yes Max and Liz are going to stay together, I couldn't break them up. I wanted something different with the gang because Michael/Maria relationship was quite hurtful during 2/3 season and I just hated the way Alex was treated by Isabel in 2 season. Alec (From Dark Angel) is not in this story, sorry for the mistake. Jensen is actually playing someone else in this story as a love propect for Maria, sorry.

icequeen: I didn't see Maria babbling as a main part of her, she rarely babbled in a lot of the epic, maybe like 2 epic - Pilot and Sexual Healing, and no babbling in any other seasons so i don't see what that has to do with her. Maria is one of my fave characters because she is strong and independant and knows what she wants. I know, they always seem to end up with someone in the group so its time to bring in new blood. No Max and Liz are not breaking up in this story, i love these two too much! Anyway, glad you like it.

~*Sonia E.*~: Glad my story was that interesting you needed to sign in ;) Don't worry about Alex (he's one of my fave). Maria will end up with someone better and Isabel/Grant was a bit weird for me but i promise it won't be a major part of the story, just little hints here and there. Max and Liz - safe and sound? We'll see, how safe can Max and Liz be when they are together? ;)


Thanks for all the reviews! Here's the next chaper and i have to warn you that the next few chapters are being split into two, one will show Roswell gang and the other will show Max and Liz.

I decided to put this up a day earlier, i needed the time to work on my next chapter so i hope you like it! This is a weekly story so it should be up every monday.

Okay, for the next few chapters, it will be split in two. The A section will contain everyone in Roswell. The B section will contain Max and Liz. I’m just giving you a warning so you don’t get mixed up.

***********************************************************
Chapter 2a


Michael, Maria, Tess, Isabel and Alex sat around the table, wondering what they were going to do.

“Why would they leave?” Michael demanded and Maria looked at him.

“From what Naesco said, they jumped into the river, they might have gotten lost,” Maria stated and Michael scoffed.

“You saw how Max acted after the message, no, I bet he did this so he wouldn’t have to follow Destiny so we can go back and save our people,” Michael stated and Maria looked at him in disbelief.

“Max never wanted to go back home, yes, he wanted to find out what he could about it but he never said that he wanted to go home, you and Isabel made it pretty clear that you would love to go back and see your family, you just assumed that Max would fall into line,” Maria retorted and Michael scoffed.

“Max is the king, he needs to go back,” Michael snapped and Maria smirked.

“Not of this planet, he isn’t buddy,” Maria reminded. “Max doesn’t have to do anything.”

“You don’t know what you’re talking about!” Tess jumped in, backing up Michael and Maria looked at her.

“Like hell, I watched as Max and Liz fought their attraction only to get together then for you to come along with your little ‘destiny’ and proceed to rip Max and Liz apart just because you wanted him for yourself, you never stopped to think about what Max wants,” Maria told her.

“Max doesn’t know what he wants, he is a young man who is being ruled by his hormones over that ridiculous girl!” Naesco snapped and Maria stood up and made her way over to Naesco and poked her finger in his chest.

“It’s thanks to that ‘ridiculous girl’ that you even found them three!” Maria snapped. “If Max hadn’t saved Liz, Liz would have never found out about that picture where you killed a man and left your little signature on it, it’s thanks to Liz that we found out about Toloposky, she asked Alex to help him. Liz gave up everything to keep them safe. You were the one who left Roswell!” Maria exclaimed. “You didn’t even stop to think that they would be in Roswell, face it, if it wasn’t for Liz getting shot, you wouldn’t have found Max.”

“Like hell!” Tess snapped as she stood up. “Max and I have a bond,” Tess stated with a toss of her head and Maria sniggered.

“So, where is Max right now? If you and Max have a bond, you should be able to tell where he is, so, if you know where he is, why don’t you go and find him?” Maria asked and Tess narrowed her eyes.

“He won’t let me in,” she remarked and Maria nodded.

“Good boy Max, keep the she-devil out,” Maria praised to the image of Max in her head, causing Tess to glare harder at her and Alex to bite back a snigger while Isabel and Michael looked at Maria like she had grown another head.

“Maria, I know you are upset but you have to admit, Max and Liz don’t belong together,” Isabel told her and Maria laughed.

“Are you kidding?” Maria choked out. “I have never seen two people more than perfect for each other, they are like Romeo and Juliet reincarnated,” Maria pointed out.

“Max is meant for me!” Tess stated and Maria looked at her.

“If he was meant for you, why didn’t he wait for you? Why did he go for Liz? Simple, he loves Liz, he doesn’t do blondes hoes like you.”

“Bitch!” Tess snapped and Maria nodded.

“And I’m good at it too,” Maria remarked, she never liked Tess and she was going to make sure that everyone knew that too.

“Max will come to me, you just watch,” Tess promised and Maria scoffed.

“The only way Max would go to you if you mind warped him into be attracted to you,” Maria pointed out and gasped. “You tried that and look what happened! He went straight back to Liz!”

“She is only a phase,” Naesco stated and Maria smiled.

“Didn’t stop him from trying to make love to her,” Maria stated, twisting the knife deeper.

“WHAT?” Tess shrieked and Maria put on her sad face.

“Oh did you not know?” she asked. “Max and Liz almost made love and let me tell you something, Maxie boy was more than willing to make love to her,” Maria finished with a shrug. “Guess the guy does have good taste,” she murmured as she thought about it before turning to Alex. “Oh Alex, could you please be a dear and take me home?” she asked. “My head is hurting terribly from hearing the she-devil’s voice for so long,” Maria told him and Alex smirked.

“Come along dear, I guess I need to stop at the drug store and get some ear plugs and headaches pills while I’m at it,” he told her and she nodded.

“Thank you Alex, now I know why Liz and I became best friends with you,” she teased him as they both left the Crashdown, leaving the aliens behind listening to Alex laughers as he led the way to Maria’s car.

“She doesn’t know what she is talking about,” Tess muttered, vemously. “Max would never sleep with that mousy girl.”

Michael turned to Isabel. “Can you see if you can dream walk them and find out where they are so we can pick them up?” Michael asked and Isabel nodded.

“I’ll do my best,” she told him and he nodded too.

“We’re going to go back to the house, I need to make plans to get myself into the F.B.I if I’m going to pose as Pierce,” Naesco told them and they nodded as Tess and Naseco left the Crashdown, Michael turned back to Isabel.

“They will come back, right?” Michael asked and Isabel nodded.

“Oh yeah, Max will come back, he needs the responsibility,” Isabel stated with confidence in her voice and with a nod.

“But he was pretty shaken up after the F.B.I and hearing the message,” Michael admitted and Isabel shook her head.

“All Max ever wanted was a normal, he’s sulking because he can’t be normal, beside, we all knew that we were going to go home one way or another, it’s about time Max faced up to his destiny. He is to be with his wife, not a human girl who won’t be able to help us when it comes down to facing our enemies,” Isabel stated before turning on her heels and leaving the Crashdown, leaving Michael alone, wondering if Isabel was right but couldn’t stop the nagging feeling in his gut that maybe that everyone was wrong for once.

Tess and Naseco were in the Harding house. Tess was looking through a box of photographs of Max as she sat at the table. She was still furious that Max had disappeared and that Maria girl had dared to insult her, didn’t she know whom she was messing with? Tess Harding, former known as Ava, the queen of Antar, the wife of Zan, who was currently missing with his human mistress.

“I can’t believe that he had the nerve to leave me!” Tess exclaimed to Naseco.

“He is having a hard time accepting that he is not normal, that he has a huge responsibilities on his shoulders,” Naesco told her and she scoffed.

“He should have waited for me, I waited for him why couldn’t he do that?” she asked as she stood up, throwing the photo of Max and Liz smiling and laughing as they sat close together. It was obvious to anyone who looked at the photo just how much the pair of them was in love with each other but Tess couldn’t see that. All she could see was a scheming mousy bitch that was ruining everything that was hers.

“He may be an alien Tess, but the guy is also human. He is letting his hormones take over his head,” Naesco pointed out. “Give him time, he’ll get bored with the girl and come to you, after all, men do like a blonde better than a brunette,” Naesco pointed out with a smirk and Tess smiled to herself as she thought about it.

“Yes, you are right. Max will get bored with her soon as they do say it brunette for fun and blonde for life,” she told him with a self satisfied smirk before glaring at Naesco. “He better give bored with her fast because I want him soon!” Tess exclaimed before sighing when a thought came to her mind. “What do I do if Max doesn’t come back?” Tess demanded to Naesco and Naesco turned to her.

“We still need to fulfil our deal, if Max doesn’t come back, you just have to turn to the next best thing, Michael, he’ll fill the deal pretty well considering he is more than willing to follow his destiny, just leaving out getting together with Isabel,” Naesco pointed out and Tess nodded.

“Okay,” she told him, she didn’t want to sleep with Michael, she wanted Max in her bed but she knew that Michael would fulfil it no problem.

Maria and Alex were sitting in Maria’s bedroom with a tub of ice cream in the middle.

“You are the best Alex, totally the best,” Maria told him as she scooped up a spoonful of ice cream and placed into her mouth, closing her eyes as she savoured the taste of it melting down her throat. Alex laughed in amusement.

“I have to be, you and Liz taught me the best remember,” Alex told her and Maria nodded.

“Yep, took quite a while, but you, Alex, are our best subject that was actually successful,” Maria, stated with a tip of her head and Alex laughed.

“And what other projects that you and Liz worked on?” he asked and Maria smiled.

“Getting Mr Parker to act like a monkey,” Maria admitted and Alex laughed as he scooped up a spoonful of ice cream and placed it into his mouth.

“You didn’t,” he told her and she nodded.

“We did actually, we tried to hypnotize him and get him to act like a monkey but it didn’t work,” she explained and Alex shook his head.

“No wonder, you need a degree in it for it to work,” Alex told her before laughing, causing her to roll her eyes.

“It isn’t that funny,” Maria, scolded him before smiling at her best friend. Alex felt his smiling sliding off his face when he thought back to why he was at Maria’s house.

“Do you have a bad feeling?” Alex asked as he looked at his best friend.

“You mean that foreboding feeling in the pit of my stomach that is now curling like a coil?” she asked and Alex nodded. “Yep, I have a feeling that we’ve haven’t heard the last of this,” she told him.

“Do you think Max and Liz are okay?” he asked and Maria nodded.

“Yes,” she told him with conviction and he looked at her. “Don’t ask me how I know, I just know in my heart that Liz is okay and if Liz’s okay then it means Max is okay. I just know it Alex,” she told him and he nodded.

“Note to self, when they get back here, get to know Max better,” he told himself and Maria laughed.

“Same here, it’s a shame though, all those time we’ve spent with Max and we barely know him,” she told him and he nodded.

“He’s a good guy, he saved Liz’s life which is something I will be in debt forever,” he told her and she nodded too.

“God Alex, if we had lost Liz that day…” she trailed off and Alex scooted round to wrap an arm around her shoulders and hugged.

“Don’t, Max saved her and she is alive,” he told her and she nodded as she pushed her previous thought to the back of her mind, refusing to dwell on what could have happened.

“You’re right,” Maria told him and he nodded. “What are we going to do about Tess, Michael and Isabel, not to mention Jim and Kyle, they must be freaking over the fact that Max and co is an alien,” Maria told him and Alex sighed.

“We just need to give them time, we both needed time to understand it so give them time. If they seem to be having a problem with it, we can go and visit them and help them understand the aliens,” Alex reassured her and Maria nodded.

“You’re right,” she told him and Alex cracked a grin.

“Now, there’s something I haven’t heard in ages! I better write this down so I don’t forget it!” he told her and got a pillow whack on the side of his head for his troubles while Maria laughed.

Meanwhile, at the Parkers, nothing was going smoothly there.

“I can’t believe her!” Nancy snapped. “We told her to take it slow with this guy and she runs away with him!”

“Nancy,” Jeff started.

“God, I have told her over and over again to stay away from him! To find some other guy to have fun with,” she snapped and turned to Jeff. “Mark my words, she will know nothing but heartbreak with that Evans boy,” she warned and Jeff sighed.

“Nancy, Liz and Max do care for each other,” Jeff told her and Nancy’s face crumpled.

“God Jeff, what is happening with our daughter?” Nancy asked and Jeff sighed.

“I have no idea,” Jeff admitted as he pulled his wife into a hug, she wrapped her arms around his waist and they both looked out of the window, staring at the moon shining brightly in the sky.

“God Phillip, our son is pulling away from us!” Diane cried as she pressed a hand to her mouth, trying to stop the sobs from coming through, Phillip just wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into a hug.

“I know,” he whispered as he stroked back her blonde hair, hoping to god that Max would contact them soon and come back home where he belongs.

TBC

Don’t think Michael will be like the thoughtful Michael in this story, he will be pretty much like Max when he was with Tess, a complete jerk who deserved a kick up his A$$.

So, what did you think?

Thanks to everyone who reviewed,

Zanity: Remember, Naesco is having a hard time accepting that Max wasn't interested in fulfilling his destiny, he just believes Max is just fascinated by Liz as he can't comprehend love. Tess believes she knows Max because she knew Zan, she thinks because she and Max are meant to be together, she knows him when she doesn't. Isabel and Michael were always selfish, they just assume Max likes being responsible because they forced him into that role, you'll see more of that throughout the story. Don't feel too sorry for Mrs Parker right now, i promise you, she will not be too likeable in the story.

Timelord31: Thanks.

kittens: Hey! Glad to see you here and this chapter is pure Max/Liz dreamer fluff.

tiredmuse: Glad you like Maria/Tess fights, there will be more of that and Maria will question Tess's actions. Tess may be getting together with Michael but remember, Michael is only second best, she still holds out on hope that Max will come round. You'll see.

Here's the next chapter, enjoy.

Pure M/L Here everyone and they're the reason why rating has gone up in this chapter :wink:

************************************************************

Chapter 2b


It was two exhausted teenagers who made their way over to the motel, the manager eyed them as they walked over to the counter.

“Welcome, how may I help you?” he asked.

“We need a room to stay for a short time,” Max told him as he placed the money on the counter. The manager’s eyes widen when he saw the notes and nodded.

“Room 29 is free, it has a queen bed in it,” he told him and Max nodded.

“We’ll take it,” he told him and the manger handed him the keys and took the money before pulling up the book.

“Please state your name,” he told them. Max picked up the pen scribbled down Mrs. And Mr. Evans before handing the book back to man and led Liz out of the check in room. They made their way down the walkway till they came to their room.

Max used the keys and let them in.

“Home sweet home for now,” Max stated as he flicked on the light and Liz sighed when she sat down on the bed. “I’m gonna get us some food,” he told them and she eyed him.

“Are you sure? You don’t want me to get it?” she asked and he shook his head and kissed her forehead.

“You go and have a shower, you sound like you need one,” he told before kissing her on the lips and leaving.

Liz sighed dreamily as she touched her lips before getting up and made her way into the bathroom, she had to nod in approval when she saw the place, it was clean unlike the other motel that she had gotten stuck in with Maria, Michael, Max and Isabel, she smiled slightly when she remembered Maria moaning about being stuck in a ‘porno version of Aladdin’ she couldn’t watch the film without being reminded of that room.

Liz looked around and snickered. At least there was no glow in the dark condoms hidden anywhere.

Max sighed as he arrived back at the motel after finding a Chinese café not far from where they were staying, he opened the door and let himself in, he looked around and saw that the bathroom door was still shut and groaned slightly when he realised that Liz was still in a shower, he shook his head and turned back to setting the food out and picked up the paper, he and Liz needed to get jobs as they couldn’t use all their bank cash and he was hoping that they would be able to get a house together, they were obviously going to need somewhere to live as they couldn’t live in motels for the rest of their lives.

Liz sighed as she stepped into the shower; she let the hot water run over her hair and run down her body, soothing her muscles. She ran a hand through her dark hair before picking up the small puffy sponge that the motel provided and picked up the soap. She ran the sponge over her body as she thought about everything they had been through.

Her thoughts went to Maria and Alex, she had a feeling that they weren’t worried about her and that relaxed her. She knew that Maria had the tendency to overreact when it came to Liz and she was glad to feel that Maria was calm and trusted in Max to look after Liz.

She frowned when her thoughts turned to Michael, Isabel, Tess and Naesco. She knew that she should walk away from Max because of his destiny but she couldn’t, she love Max too much to let him go, not to mention the hell he has been through at the hands of the special unit, Max needed her and she was going to be damned if she let anyone prevented them. Michael and Isabel had been acting weird since they heard about the message about their destiny and why Naesco let Max get captured by the special unit.

She let the water wash away the soap before grabbing her shampoo and washed her hair as her thoughts turned to their parents. Her mother was going to freak out when she realise that Liz had run off with Max, she had made it clear since her and Max were caught by the principal that she didn’t like Max and tried her best to prevent Max and Liz from seeing each other.

She couldn’t really understand her mother, yes, she understand that her mother feels that her and Max were moving too fast but the other parents seem to understand what Max and Liz felt for each other was deep and let them be together but her mother was determined to prevent that from happening. Liz let the water run through her hair, washing the soap from it before letting it run over her face once more.

She switched off the shower and reached out and grabbed the towel before stepping out of the shower and walked over to the mirror above the sink.

She lifted a hand and wiped away the steam from it and looked at her reflection through the mirror. She hated having questions doubting everything. Not her love for Max though, nothing could make her doubt that, but everything surrounding them. Her whole life with her parents, her father has always been the doting dad, putting his feet down when it was necessarily while her mother was the cold parent, putting her feet down for everything that Liz had ever wanted. Seeing Michael and Isabel acting weird around them, seeing Tess play tricks on Max and seeing Max go through hell, she just didn’t understand it and it wad driving her up the wall.

There was a knock at the door.

“Liz, are you okay?” Max asked and Liz smiled as she looked at the door.

“Yes Max, I’ll be out soon,” she told him.

“Okay, I got some Chinese,” he replied and moved away from the door. Liz dried herself off before grabbing a terry bathrobe and pulled it over her body and stepped out of the bathroom. She smiled when she saw Max sitting on the bed and moved closer to him. He stood up and pulled her into his arms.

“Hey, you okay?” he asked and she nodded.

“Yeah, but do you think you could dry my hair?” she asked, sheepish and Max grinned as he kissed her forehead before running his fingers through her hair, drying it completely. “Hm, thanks,” she told him before reaching up and kissing him.

Max kissed her back and pulled away when he got the flashes.

“You’re having doubts about your life?” Max asked, curiously and Liz rolled her eyes in amusement.

“I knew that having flashes were going to get us into trouble one of these days,” she told him and he laughed as he sat her down on the bed and sat down next to her.

“Do you want to tell me what’s going on in that lovely head of yours?” he asked and Liz sighed.

“Just ignore it, I’ve been like that since I was a kid,” she admitted and Max arched an eyebrow and she nodded. “Okay, it’s just mom, ever since I was a kid, she has been cold toward me. God, I could swear sometimes she’s not my mom,” she admitted.

“Liz?” Max asked and Liz sighed.

“It’s just, her side of the family never really accepted me, which makes me wonder why as I’m mom’s child. It’s like they hate me or something,” she whispered and Max moved closer to her.

“How can anyone hate you?” Max teased and Liz pulled away and glared, teasingly, at him.

“Why don’t you ask Tess and Pam that?” she asked and Max scoffed.

“No way, I don’t need to be in the same air as them thank you,” he told her and she laughed as Max gave her a plate. “Here you go, I got your favourite,” he told her and she smiled as she kissed him once more.

“You’re the best boyfriend,” she informed him before winking and turned back to the food, leaving Max shaking his head at her.

Once they were finished, Liz picked up the empty containers and placed them back into the bag before setting it to one side and picked up the plates and brought them into the small kitchen the room had and placed them into the sink. Max picked up the trash and carried it outside to the bin before heading back into the room once more, where he found Liz digging through her bag.

“I’m just gonna get change in my PJs,” she told him and he nodded as she grabbed her nightwear’s and headed into the bathroom while Max stripped himself of his clothes and pulled on a pair of sweats and climbed into bed.

Liz came out, wearing her shorts and a tank top, she made her way over to the bed and climbed in herself and snuggled up next to Max.

“Are you okay?” Max asked and Liz nodded.

“Yeah, just questions you know,” she told him and he nodded.

“Okay,” he told her and kissed her on the forehead before they moved closer to each other and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, after Max had his shower, he found Liz looking in the mirror and understanding dawned on him.

“We’ll need to change our images,” Max told her and she nodded. “So, what colour of hair?” he asked.

“Red, Maria always wondered if I should have been a red head,” Liz admitted and shook her head at his eyebrow raise. “Don’t ask.” Max nodded as he lifted his hand and ran it through her dark locks, changing it to a dark red colour. Liz looked into the mirror and nodded. “Nice,” she stated, admiring it.

Max just smiled as he ran his hand through his hair, changing it to a lighter brown. Liz arched an eyebrow, nodding in appreciation before they linked hands and made their way out of the motel and got into the jeep and they headed into the nearest town so they could get some clothes and look for work.

They entered the mall and walked about through the shops, picking up some more clothes and such that they would need when Liz smiled when something caught her eye.

“What do you think of this?” Liz asked as she picked up a red top and held it in front of her body. It was low plunging and a halter neck so it would reveal her bare back.

“Nice,” Max stated as he, discreetly, placed the bags in front of him.

“Just nice?” Liz asked as she looked at him and Max swallowed.

“You’ll look great in it but do you really need it?” he asked and Liz shrugged.

“You never know when we might go out,” Liz told him and he closed his eyes as the image of her dressed up to his mind before shaking his head and looking at her once more.

“You could always come back and buy it when you know we’re going out, you know, sort of a shopping spree,” he told her and she nodded.

“You’re right,” she told him as she put it back. “It would be better if they had that kind of style in a dress though,” she told him as she led the way out of the shop, causing Max to stumbled slightly as the image of the top form itself into a dress and he shook his head. He needed to get away from her before he blew his load; he looked around and saw a sign on the window of a restaurant.

“Hey look, they need a waitress,” Max told her and Liz looked at the sign, she moved closer and saw that the waitress wore white shirts and a black skirt.

“Better uniform than the Crashdown, that’s for sure,” she told him and he looked at her, slightly disappointed.

“I actually like the Crashdown uniform,” he told her and she smirked as she looked at him.

“Only because it has easy access due to the buttons,” she told him and he flushed, remembering the time when he was driven by the Orb to kiss Liz in the backroom of the Crashdown, he had found out how easy it was for the button to snap apart, proving the one at her breasts. “I’m gonna ask for a form to fill in, why don’t you look over at the Lawyer firm, I think they want someone too,” she told him, noticing the notice and he nodded.

“Okay, meet you back here in a couple of minutes,” he told her as he leaned down and kissed her, gently, on the lips before they separated to go off their own way.

Liz came out looking happier and she smiled even more brightly when she saw Max heading her way.

“Hey,” she greeted as she reached up and kissed him, Max pulled her closer and kissed her harder as he let one hand slip up into her red hair.

Max opened his mouth slightly and let his tongue trace her bottom lip, pleading her to open her mouth, which she did as requested and sighed when his tongue slid into her mouth, caressing hers. His other hand slid down and cupped her butt, pulling her closer to him as he tugged her head back, changing the angle of their kiss while one of Liz’s hands slid up into his hair, holding him close while the other hand held onto the back of his shirt, holding herself upright as the pleasure ran through her veins.

“Hm, Hm,” a male voice coughed. They broke apart and turned to see a security guard standing there, looking slightly amused and exasperated. “Sorry to interrupt you but do you think you could take it private?” he asked with a slight motion of his hands and they turned to see most of the customers standing near them, looking at them shocked.

Liz blushed slightly as Max scratched the back of his head.

“Sorry,” Max apologised as he picked up the bag, slid his arm around Liz’s waist once more and they hurried out of the mall with Liz giggling.

“I can’t believe we lost control like that,” Liz told him as she buried her face in his shoulder and Max laughed.

“Tell me about it,” he told her as they moved closer to the jeep. Max placed the bags into the back of the jeep before helping Liz into the jeep before rounding the jeep and stepped in himself.

Once the jeep was in the motion, Max turned back to Liz. “So, what did they say?” Max asked and Liz smiled.

“The manager accepted me straight away when he found out that I had experience in waitressing,” she told him. “I start tomorrow.”

“Good, the more money we can get, the less we’ll use our bank money,” he told her and she nodded before looking up at him.

“What did the lawyer firm say?” she asked and he smiled down at her.
“They accepted me too, I told them that I sometime worked at my dad’s lawyer, filing and such so they decided to give me a job, I start tomorrow afternoon,” he told her and she sighed.

“At least we have jobs, but we do need to find somewhere to live,” she told him. “Living in motel will eat up our money before we know it.”

“I know, I was wondering, how about we just buy a house rather than renting,” he suggested. “That way, all we need to pay is the water, gas, and electric and the phone bill and the heating too,” he told her and she nodded.

“It would probably be more cheaper,” she told him and he nodded in agreement.

“So, when do we look?” he asked.

“How about now, there’s a gas station there, I can grab a couple of drinks and a newspaper,” she told him and he nodded as he pulled into the gas station and they both got out. Max handed her the gas card.

“Here, I’ll fill up the jeep, you get the drinks and newspaper,” he told her.

“Cherry coke?” she asked and he nodded as he kissed her and watched her walk off before turning to the pump and fitted it into the tank of the jeep.

Liz made her way into the gas station and headed over to the magazine section where she picked up a newspaper and saw the latest Cosmo magazine and smile to herself, just because she was on the run, there was no need for her to miss out on her favourite magazine, god knows what Maria would say to that. She picked it up before heading over to the drink sections and picked up a bottle of Cherry coke and a bottle of Pepsi Max, a bottle of Tabasco and she grabbed a couple of munchies before heading over to the counter. She looked out of the window and smiled when she saw Max leaning against the spare wheel that was attached to the back of the jeep. The sun was shining on him, making his dark hair shine in the light.

“That’s $8.40,” the counter clerk told her, she turned and handed him the money before picking up the bag, she took the change and handed over the gas card and waited for him to charge it up before handing it back to her and she left the gas station.

Max picked his head up when he felt Liz walking toward him; he turned his head and watched as the sun shone on her, her dark hair shining in the sunlight. Her dark eyes shining brightly and she shot him a smile. He leaned down and kissed her gently as he took the bag and the gas card, placed the bag in the back of the jeep and the gas card into his wallet before helping her into the jeep and climbed in himself.

Liz reached over and linked hand with him as he set the jeep into motion, causing Max to shoot her his trademark half smirk before turning back to the front and Liz sighed as she rested her head on the seat, enjoying the ray of the sun on her body. For once, she felt free from all the worries in the world.

They made it to the motel, Max and Liz grabbed the bags and headed into their motel room and put everything away while Liz grabbed her magazine and placed into her bag, promising herself to look at it later when she had the chance, she grabbed the paper and a pen and laid herself on the bed, stomach down, facing the TV that was seated at the end of the bed and flicked through it, looking for a place.

Max came through from the kitchen and sat down on the floor in front of the TV and switched it on, looking to see what was on while a notice caught Liz’s eyes.

“Here’s, there’s this place, it a detached house with four rooms,” she told him as she brought the newspaper over his head and settled it in front of him while resting her head on his shoulder.

“We’ll check it out after work, I can’t believe it’s cheap though,” he admitted and Liz nodded.

“It does say that they were having problems with people paying for it because of the prices they had for it so they kept knocking it down,” she told him and he raised an eyebrow.

“Wonder why,” he told her as he turned to face her and took her lips into his mouth.

Liz moaned as she cupped the back of his head while Max wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her off the bed and onto the floor next to him. Liz shifted slightly so that she could straddle his lap.

Liz settled herself in his lap and leaned into kiss him. Max groaned as he slipped his hands under her shirt and helped her lift it off her body, leaving her cased in her short shorts and her bra, which was cupping her breasts and lifting them up nicely in his opinion.

“So Max, what are you? A leg man or a breast man?” Liz breathed out and Max smirked as he planted a kiss on her breast and looked up at her.

“With you Liz, it has to be both,” he told her before claiming her lips in his once more as she unbuttoned his shirt and pulled it off his body before letting her hands run over his chest. Max cupped her butt and stood up, provoking her to wrap her legs around his waist; he turned around and placed them on the bed, with her back on it and him on top of her.

Liz pushed him back up, causing Max to go back on his knees and she brought her hands around her back and unclipped her bra, causing Max to reach out and kiss her hard on the lips as he let his hands pull down the straps before removing the garment completely from her body and pushed her back on the bed and cupped her breasts and rolled a nipple between his fingers, causing her to gasp once more.

Max let his hands drop down and he unbuttoned her shorts and pulled them down her body, leaving her shorts on and kissed the side of her neck.

“Now, that’s not fair,” Liz gasped out as she pushed Max back onto his knees before getting up on her knees kissed him hard on the lips and let her hands trail down his body before they reached the edge of his jeans and unbuttoned them and pulled down the zipper. She slid her hands into his jeans and through his boxers and gripped him slightly in her hands, causing Max to gasp into her mouth and pull her hand from him.

“Any more of that and I’ll lose it,” he promised her and Liz smiled up at him.

“Promise?” she asked and Max groaned as he yanked his jeans off, leaving him clad in his boxers and he hauled her body against her once more, her bare breasts pressed up against his chest, her arms wrapped around his neck when he pulled away once more.

“One more thing, the red hair has got to go,” he told her, his breathing harsh as he ran his hand through her red hair and brought back her dark locks. “Better,” he told her and she arched an eyebrow.

“Your light brown hair has got to go too,” she reminded and Max nodded as he ran his hand through his hair, bringing back his dark locks and she slid her hands up in his hair and pulled down his head so their lips could meet up once more as he laid her back on the bed. Liz wrapped her legs around Max’s leg as Max broke away from her mouth and kissed her neck, travelling their way down to her breasts.

He took one nipple into his mouth and ran his tongue around it before rubbing his tongue over it, causing Liz to gasp as he cupped her other breast and squeezed it and rolled the nipple around his fingers before taking the nipple into his mouth and gave it the same treatment as the other as he did the same to the other nipple with his hand.

He pulled away and kissed his way down her stomach before stopping to dip his tongue into her belly-button, causing her to jerk slightly and giggle as Max smiled against her stomach and moved lower when he reached her panties.

He slipped his fingers into the edge of them and slid them down her legs and threw them into the pile where their other clothes were before spreading her legs and he moved in closer. He let his index finger trail up between her nether lips, causing Liz to gasp and buck her hips slightly as some more of her juice seeped out. Max groaned as he leaned in and swiped his tongue over her, causing her hands to reach down and tangle itself into his hair.

Max reached in and used his fingers to separate her lips and rubbed his tongue over her clit before leaning down and slid his tongue inside of her, causing her walls to clench around him. “Oh god…Max,” Liz breathed out as Max pulled away and slid two thick fingers into her and curled them, causing them to brush over her sweet spot while he took her clit into his mouth and flicked his tongue over it causing her hands to tightened in his hair, her back to arch, her hips to buck up in his face and her walls to clench around his fingers as she screamed out his name.

Max kept stroking her walls while she rode out her orgasm till she relaxed on the bed, breathing heavily while Max stuck his fingers into his mouth and cleaned off her taste before kissing his way back up and kissed her hard on the lips. Liz moaned when she tasted herself on his tongue and used her hips to roll them over so that she was on top. “My turn,” she whispered against his lips before kissing her way down his chest.

She reached his nipples and sucked them into her mouth, rubbing her tongue over them, causing Max to groan as he tangled his hands into her dark locks as she moved down lower and swirled her tongue around in his belly-button before moving down even lower.

Once she reached his boxer’s shorts, she slipped her fingers in the edge of them, and with help from Max lifting his hip, she pulled them down and it found its way into the pile while Liz turned back to the organ and bit her lip at the sight of it. It was standing proudly with the head of it turning purple from all the blood pouring in it. She reached out and let a finger trail up and down, watching as it jumped slightly before wrapping her whole hand around him and started a pace, moving her hand up and down.

She looked up at Max only to see his head was thrown back on the pillow, his chest was moving rapidly while his fists clenched into the sheets and she smiled as she leaned up slightly before flicking her tongue over the head of him, causing Max to gasp. She leaned down and took him into his mouth as far as it could go before closing her lips around him and drew her head back, tightening her lips at the same before flicking her tongue over his head and moved her way back down, pressing her tongue underneath him before repeating the action each time she bobbed her head.

Soon Max grabbed her head and pulled her off him, he was getting dangerously close to the edge and wanted to be in her when he came, Liz looked at him and pouted.

“I wasn’t finished,” she told him, batting her eyelashes that usually got her whatever she wanted with Max. He let out a strained laugh.

“Trust me Liz, you can finish it another time, but I want to be in you when I come,” he promised as he flipped them over and settled himself in between Liz’s spread legs, his head pressing against her core, causing Liz to gasp as she bucked herself up, trying to draw him into her.

Max groaned as he rested his head on her forehead and was about to slide himself in when something struck him. “Wait…protection,” Max gasped out as he reached over and grabbed his jeans and pulled his wallet from the back pocket. He opened it and pulled out a condom before throwing the wallet on the ground and unwrapped the condom.

Liz took the condom from him and reached down between them and slid it on him, she ran her hand down once she was finished, causing Max to grab her hand and take a deep breath as he rested his forehead on hers and looked into her dark eyes. “Are you sure?” Max asked and Liz nodded as she licked her lips.

“Please,” she gasped out, arching her body against Max. “I need you.” Max leaned in and kissed her hard on the mouth as he gripped himself and lowered himself into her. He gently pushed his way through her body and stopped when his head met her barrier, he looked up at her. “I want this the normal way,” she told him and he nodded as he pulled out slightly before thrusting himself completely in her.

He felt Liz still underneath his body and he leaned down, kissing her all over her face, murmuring soft reassuring words as Liz wrapped her arms around him, holding on as the pain slowly receded from her body.

She wrapped her legs around his waist and bucked up her hips, causing Max to groan as he pulled out and thrusted back into her. “Max!” Liz gasped out, her head fell back on the pillow as her eyes closed while Max kissed her neck, he lets his hands caress the side of her body and cupped one breast in his hand and squeezed it before pinching the nipple between his fingers, causing her to bite the skin between his neck and shoulder as his other hand slid down and cupped her hip before sliding underneath and cupped her butt as he rolled over onto his back.

Liz sat up and leaned backward slightly before moving up and down on him, swirling her hips as she grinded her hips into his. Max gripped her hips and helped her before he let one hands slid up her body and cupped her breasts as he ran his thumb over the her nipples, causing her walls to clench slightly around him.

He reared up and took a nipple into his mouth; he laved his tongue around it before rubbing his tongue over it causing Liz to gasp and slid her hands into his hair as her head fell backward, her mouth open as she took in shallow breaths.

Max pulled away from the nipple he was playing with and turned to the other one, giving it the same attention before he pulled away and pulled her head down and kissed her hard on the lips as she moved faster on top of him.

Liz hands trailed down from his hair to his back as she marvelled the muscles working under her hands as he thrusted his hips up into hers. Max broke the kiss when air became a need and kissed the spot just behind her ear, causing her to groan as he trailed kisses down her neck as one hand slid his way down their body and found her spot. He felt Liz clench around him as he rubbed it with his thumb as he laved one of the hot spot on her collar bone before sucking on it and he bit it gently causing Liz’s walls to clench violently around him as her nails dug into his back and scratched their way down as her hips bucked into his while her head fell backward, causing her dark hair to flow down her bare back.

Max groaned as he let himself go into the condom as he kept thrusting up into her. Once they came back down from their high, Liz brought her head forward and Max looked up to see strands of her dark hair was sticking slightly to her sweat soaked body, her eyes were drooped to half mass and the lust was still bright in them. He noticed that he had left his mark on her collar bone and smile slightly.

“Oh god Max,” Liz gasped out, still revealing form the orgasm she had received.

“You okay?” Max asked and Liz nodded.

“Way more than okay,” she told him and he smiled slightly as he reached up and pushed back her hair before kissing her gently on the lips before pulling away. He lifted her off him, causing to moan as the connection severed and pulled the condom off him. He disposed of it before turning back to Liz and gathered her up in his arms once more.

“You sure you’re okay?” Max asked and Liz nodded.

“Yes Max,” she told him before kissing him. “You just wore me out,” she admitted and Max smiled as he grabbed the covers and pulled it over their rapidly cooling bodies and laid himself down next to her.

Liz cuddled into his side and closed her eyes. “I love you,” she whispered and Max kissed her forehead.

“I love you too,” Max whispered back and they both feel into a deep and easy sleep.

Okay, today is the day you see an interest building between Michael and Tess and Alex's love interest steps into Roswell to change his life.

==============================================

Chapter 3a


Maria sighed as she swiped back a long lock of blonde hair; she went to Isabel and asked to her to lengthen it for her. Maria stared at the counter, wondering when everything had gone to hell and pinpointed it immediately.

When Tess Harding came to Roswell.

Maria moved round the counter so she was behind it and thought back to when Tess came to Roswell. Tess knew of Max, Michael and Isabel, after all, she had pictures of them so why go through the mind warp? A part of her knew that Tess was trying to get them to realise their destiny but a large part of her told her that Tess could have easily revealed herself to them then let them know. Not mind warp, no, mind rape Max into kissing her where Liz could see them and basically strip Max of every control he had.

An idea formed in her head, maybe that’s what Tess wanted, to strip Max of his control so she would basically have a puppy, maybe she wanted to be in control of what Max did but his love for Liz helped him to be strong.

Her thoughts turned to Naesco again, she didn’t understand why he didn’t approach them and let them know, he knew what they would look like thanks to the book so why all the dancing about and why bother kidnapping Liz, he must have known that Max wasn’t going to sit back and let anything happen to her, so why?

She scoffed as another answer came to her mind. To get rid of Liz. Liz had told her about what she had been through at the hands of Naesco, how Naseco was happy about handing her over to the F.B.I, it was so he could clear the way for Tess to take up her place beside Max but didn’t bank on Max going after him. Another thought came to her mind, why leave Max behind? Was it punishment for Max because he risked everything to save Liz? Because she was a human being and was ‘destroying’ everything he worked for? To show Max he was to blame Liz for his capture? She knew Naesco and Tess wouldn’t have bothered saving Liz if it were her who was captured by the F.B.I so why leave Max?

Maria clutched her head in her hands, there were so many questions and no answers and it was beginning to drive her up the walls. She couldn’t trust Tess and Naseco because there were so many holes in what they were saying. It was like they held all the cards and dealt each one at a time so that they could control the game.

She looked up when she heard the bell jingle and smiled when she saw Alex step through.

“Hey Alex,” she greeted as Alex moved closer to her and sat at the counter.

“Hey Maria, headache?” he asked and she nodded.

“Just trying to figure out Tess and Naesco,” she told him and he looked at her, puzzled.

“How do you mean?” he asked and she sighed.

“Don’t you think it’s a little weird they didn’t introduced themselves?” Maria asked. “I mean, Tess just mind warped Max into her kissing her and having fantasies of her without a thought for Max or Liz. She basically violated him and thinks it’s alright!” Maria told her. “And Naesco kidnapping Liz, how could he not know that Max would go after him? The guy risked exposing himself to save her life, he was more than willing to risk his life for hers so why take her? And why leave Max to the F.B.I when he is suppose to protect him, he obviously wanted Liz out of the way so why leave Max?” she asked and Alex thought about it.

“Maybe they knew that Max would have never accepted them if they had left Liz behind,” Alex suggested and Maria shrugged.

“It’s just a little uncomfortable, beside, why couldn’t he get them both out? It would have been very easy to use his powers, didn’t seem to have problems doing it before,” she finished, bitterly.

“Probably because Max and Liz kept running about, making it harder for him to track them,” he told her and Maria shook her head and leaned in.

“Do you think Naseco wanted Max to blame Liz?” she asked and Alex looked at her, not having an answer for her.

Meanwhile at Michael’s apartment, Michael was concentrating on blowing up the rocks by looking at them with Tess standing next to him, coaching him as he did so. The door opened, revealing Isabel, looking harassed.

“Hey, did you managed to get a hold of Max?” Michael asked and Isabel shook her head.

“Nope, either he’s not sleeping at all or he’s too far away for me to contact him,” Isabel admitted and Michael swore.

“Damnit, he better come back soon, he doesn’t time to be missing with Parker,” Michael stated and Isabel nodded in agreement.

“No problem there, mom and dad is furious with Max, they want to know why he ran off, I told them that he just probably wanted to be with Liz and get away from everything,” Isabel stated.

“Naesco did say that we have to start practicing our powers to help us defeat any enemies that will come to Roswell,” Tess told her and Isabel nodded.

“Cool, call me and let me know when you want us to practice, I got me a mutt to put down,” Isabel stated before leaving the apartment, leaving two confused people behind.

Meanwhile back at the Crashdown, Maria was thinking up more questions she wanted answers to. She stopped by Alex’s table as he ate his fries.

“What about the F.B.I?” Maria asked and Alex looked up at her.

“What about them?” Alex asked.

“Well, we have reasons to believe that the camera had been there in Michael’s apartment since he moved in right?” Maria asked and Alex nodded, confused to where it was going. “Well, Liz told me that Max healed her hickey, you know, made it go away then he used his powers to leave a glowing trail down her arms, basically, they had proof of Max being different since then, why not grab him then?” Maria asked.

“Because there would have been questions on why they bugged Michael’s apartment, they had no reason to suspect Michael being different,” Alex told her and she sighed, obviously annoyed at the questions.

“They didn’t seem to mind when they picked Max off the street,” she muttered and shook her head and sat down across from Alex. “Alex, my gut is telling me that there’s more than we actually understand. They had all that evidence of Max since the shooting basically so why bother waiting all that time? Why make Max hang in the balance?” she asked and Alex shrugged.

“To make him look over his shoulder and just when he thinks things are beginning to calm down, they go in,” Alex suggested and Maria shook her head.

“They went after Liz and Naesco because Naesco was leaving messages behind for Pierce, do you think that’s the sign that they were waiting for? They had Max using his powers on Liz to heal the hickey and didn’t do anything but they went straight after Naesco because he was leaving handprints behind?” Maria demanded.

“What, you think that Pierce and Naesco were working together?” he asked and Maria sighed.

“I don’t know, we know that Naesco hated Pierce because of what Pierce did to Naesco when he was captured, which brings me to another point, Naesco has been free for like 50 years or so?” Maria asked and Alex thought about it and nodded.

“Yeah because of the handprint Liz saw from Valenti’s office,” Alex reminded and Maria nodded.

“Pierce was like 20/30 years old, why go after Pierce? It wasn’t like Pierce did the experiment on Naesco,” Maria pointed out and Alex thought about and nodded.

“Maybe it was Pierce’s father?” Alex suggested and Maria sagged back in her seat.

“This is getting me nowhere, it’s just too confusing,” she muttered as she shook her head and got up and moved over to the counter while Alex sat there, watching his best friend with a thoughtful look when all of a sudden the door bell rang out, signalling a new customer.

Alex looked up and saw Isabel making her way over to him.
“Hey Isabel,” Alex greeted and Isabel stood in front of him and glared at him.

“Listen here Whitman, I’m going to say this once and only once,” Isabel told him. “Quit following me about! I don’t need a puppy. If I needed one, I would go to a pet shop and get one, and it’s less likely to irritate the hell out of me. And while we are still on that topic, god, can you say stalker much? You hang outside my house and stare at me all the time. Get over it! We are not going to get together; we were never going to get together. All you were a mean to an end, we had fun and you were just practice. Now stay the hell away from me!” Isabel snapped out before turning on her heels and walked out of the Crashdown, leaving everyone stunned at what just happened.

“Oh that bitch!” Maria exclaimed as she slammed down the plates and was about to go after when Jose grabbed her around the waist.

“Leave her, Alex needs you,” Jose told her and she looked at Alex and felt her heart break at his devastated look and felt determinedness rise up in her, she was going to make sure that Alex forget all about the ice bitch and find someone who deserves him more than anyone else.

She turned to the drinks and poured Alex his favourite drink he drank whenever he was down, orange soda on the rocks. She moved over to the table and sat it down in front of him.

“Ignore her, you deserve better than her,” Maria told him as she leaned down and kissed Alex on the cheek before walking back over to the counter, hoping to hurry up her shift so she could go and spend time with Alex and make sure that he wasn’t going to depress himself over Isabel ‘ice bitch’ Evans anymore, not while she’s still alive.

Michael sighed when he finally got his powers under control and he turned to face Tess, who nodded in approval.

“You got it down to pact,” Tess told him as he grabbed a cherry coke and handed it to her, she grabbed it and added lime to her drink before they moved over to the couch and Tess curled her legs up under her body and she turned her body to face Michael. “So, do you think Max will come back?” she asked, curious and she needed to get a move on if she wanted Michael to fulfil the deal.

“Yeah, he will,” Michael, stated with confidence. “Max needs to responsibilities of looking after us, he loves it,” Michael told her and Tess nodded.

“Good,” Tess stated. “So, how are things going with you and Maria?” she asked and Michael shook his head.

“Nothing is going between Maria and I, it’s over and for good. I knew that we shouldn’t form attachment as we have our planet to go back to and to save our people, Maria has nothing to do with it,” Michael stated and Tess smiled, inwardly.

“That’s good, I’m glad to see that one of you have your priorities straight, I hope Isabel will see the same way,” Tess told him and he nodded.

“She does, she is going to Alex that they can’t see each other, romantically, anymore,” he explained and Tess nodded.

“What about you two? Are you planning on getting together?” Tess asked and Michael shook his head.

“No, I know our destinies says we have to get together but Isabel and I have grown up like Brothers and Sisters, it’s hard for us to see beyond that,” he admitted and Tess nodded.

“Of course, but what if I wanted to be with you?” she asked and Michael looked at her.

“What?” he asked and Tess smiled shyly.

“Working with you made me realise that I’m not attracted to Max,” she admitted while digging her nails into the palm of her hands as she lied through her teeth. “I was wondering if we could date?” she asked and Michael looked at her, stunned at what was happening.

Meanwhile at the Crashdown, Maria was, nervously tapping her nails on the counter as she watched the clock tick slowly, she wanted to get to Alex’s side and help him through what had just happened when Alex appeared at the counter, startling her.

“You do realise that a watched clock never ticks?” Alex asked and Maria grinned.

“What is it that they have different sayings for that? For example, a watched phone never rings, a watched kettle never boils, a watched door never opens?” Maria listed off and Alex laughed.

“So you don’t waste time watching them so it can go faster,” he told her and she laughed. “So, do you want to tell me why you were watching the clock?” he asked and she grimaced.

“Just waiting for my shift to be over and done with soon so I can spend time with my best buddy,” she told him and he arched an eyebrow.

“Maria, you don’t have to baby-sit me, I’m okay,” he told her and she arched an eyebrow in return, causing him to duck his head slightly and nod in return. “Okay, so I’m not totally fine but I will be,” Alex promised when the doorbell rang once more and they both turned to look only for Alex’s jaw to drop when he saw the newcomer. “Oh wow,” Alex, stated when he saw the girl walking toward him, she had long red hair that stopped mid-back and sparkling blue eyes. She was wearing a black mini skirt and a white halter-top with sandals. Maria hid her grin as she watched the scene in front of her and watched as the new girl made her way over to the counter.

“Hi, do you know a Alex Whitman?” she asked and Maria nodded as she pointed to Alex.

“That’s him,” Maria told her.

“Alexander Charles Whitman at your service,” Alex stated and the girl laughed.

“I’m Sarah Johnson, I’m the new girl, I spoke to my teachers today and they said you were the best person to help me with computing,” she told him and Alex nodded.

“Sure, when do you want help?” He asked.

“Erm, can we start tomorrow? I’m still unpacking,” she explained.

“Sure,” Alex told her as he grabbed a napkin, took Maria’s pencil and scribbled his phone number on it and handed it to her. “Call me and let me know when,” he told her and she took the napkin with a smile.

“Sure will,” she told him before leaving the Crashdown and Alex stared at her retreating back as Maria watched in stunned amusement.

“Okay, who are you and what was that?” Maria asked and Alex shook his head.

“I have no idea,” Alex replied then smiled. “But I like it.”

Thanks to everyone who reviewed,

Zanity: Glad to see you're loving Maria. Yes, Maria will have a talk with Kyle about the whole healing thing but he is away on basketball camp(?) so she won't get to talk to him till he gets back and Mr. Valenti will explain that he is okay and she will warn them.

Timelord31: Glad you like Sarah so far, don't worry, she and Alex will be fine and you'll see who Maria gets together with in Chapter 4a.

roswell3053: Maria will rack her brain more to figure out what they are up to. More Max and Liz here.

Here's the next chapter, enjoy.

I’m sorry! I know I was suppose to have this up last Monday but life is just a nightmare, I was working on a Roswell crossover with X - Files and I was trying to figure out some things for a book that I’m writing but I have something for you guys, price of 2 for 1, you get two chapters instead of one!
Forgive me yet?

Chapter 3b


Max sighed as he woke up to sunlight shining on his face, he opened his eyes and looked toward the window before looking down in his arms and smiled when he saw his dark haired girlfriend curled up in his arms, one of her hands was placed on his chest, over his heart while her dark hair head was buried in his neck.

He leaned down and kissed her forehead, causing her to moan slightly and shift her head so that her dark hair tickled him slightly in the neck. He rested his head back on the pillow and continued to look at her, he couldn’t believe that he had finally made love to Liz Parker, that they had given their virginity to each other. He felt like he was walking on cloud nine.

Liz stirred slightly; she licked her bottom lip as her hand pulled away from his heart till it reached his side. Her eyelids flickered before they opened, meeting the brown eyes of her lover. She smiled, contently, at him.

“Hey,” she greeted and he smiled as he leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips. Liz shifted her legs slightly and winced when a sharp pain shot through between her legs. Max pulled away, sensing the discomfort.

“Liz?” he asked and she smiled.

“Just a little sore you know,” she told him and his eyes widen in understanding before softening as he let his hands slide down till it cupped her core. Liz felt warm healing running through her body and felt the pain receding and smiled. “You’re certainly handy to have around,” she told him and he grinned as he leaned down and kissed her once more.

He pulled away and rested himself back on the bed while Liz drew patterns on his body when she finally asked the question that had been burning in her mind since they both left Roswell.

“Should we go back, Max?” Liz asked from where she was lying in Max’s arms, Max ran a hand up and down her arm, both of them were looking at the ceiling, relaxing.

“I don’t know; how do you feel?” Max asked and Liz looked up at him.
“I have mixed feelings about going back, I want to go back yet at the same time…” she started.

“You feel safer here, like we’re happier, not stressed out like we were in Roswell?” Max finished and Liz nodded.

“Yeah, Max, you’re not the same person who you were in Roswell, you seem more happier, more lighter, it’s like you don’t have the pressure of the world upon your shoulder,” Liz told him and he smiled down at her.

“I don’t know what it is, it’s like, being away from Roswell just takes the pressure off me, in Roswell, we need to look over our shoulders all the time, to be sure of what step we are taking, but being here, it’s like…”

“A different world, one we don’t need to look over our shoulders and just be us, two people in love,” Liz whispered and Max nodded as he kissed her forehead.

“I want to go back but at the same time I don’t,” Liz admitted and Max sighed.

“We still have the rest of the summer to think about it, we just gotta make sure we make a choice before school cause we can’t afford to miss out on our education,” Max told her and she nodded before looking at the clock.

“We better get ready, we have work soon,” Liz told him as she got out of bed and pulled on Max’s shirt before heading over to the bathroom.
Max had turned on his side, his head propped up on his hand as he watched the love of his life walk about in his shirt. He didn’t know what it was about a woman wearing a man’s shirt but it made him feel possessive of Liz.

Liz stopped as she reached the bathroom door and looked over at her shoulder at her boyfriend and arched an eyebrow. “Are you not gonna join me?” she asked. “I could use someone to scrub my back,” she told him and bit back a laugh as she watched as Max scramble out of bed before hauling her into the bathroom with him.

He pressed her up against the glass shower door and kissed her hard as he reached in and switched the shower on before sliding his hands down her body and slipped it under his shirt. He gripped the back of her thighs and spread it open, setting himself in between her legs and slipped the shirt off her body, pressing their naked flesh together.

He ducked his head and kissed her neck as one hand ran up and cupped her breast, pinching the nipple between his fingers, causing her to gasp and buck her hips into his hips. Max lifted a hand and tested the water before pulling Liz off the shower door and slid it open. He walked her backward into the shower and slid the door behind him before lifting Liz up in his arms, her legs wrapping themselves around his waist as he moved his lips from her neck down to her breasts and flicked a nipple with his tongue, causing Liz to bang her head against the shower wall as she threw her head back in pleasure.

She reached one hand down between them and cupped his cock into her hand and brought the tip of it to her core.

“Protection Liz,” he told her.

“I’m on the pill, Max,” she told him and he pulled away from her, slightly.

“It might not work,” he told her, worried and Liz sighed.

“Max, we can’t live our lives on maybe,” she told him and kissed him. “Please, I need you,” she whispered and Max kissed her harder as he cupped himself and slid himself into her hot, waiting body. “Yes,” Liz hissed out as Max buried his face into her neck and sucked on the soft skin before he pulled himself back out and slid himself back into her, causing Liz to dig her nails into his back and then raked them up his back, causing him to thrust harder into her.

“Oh god, Liz,” he moaned as he gripped her butt, pulling her hips in closer and angled it correctly so that his cock brushed against that little spot, causing Liz to dig her nails once more and pleasure to shoot through her body.

“Oh Yes!” Liz shouted as her walls clenched around him, triggering his release as he watched his girlfriend pant through open mouth. Soon, his thrust came to a slow and he pulled out of her as she came down from her high and Max grinned.

“Good thing we’re in the shower already,” he told her she huffed out a laugh as she grabbed the soap.

Once they had finished playing with the water sport, they entered the bedroom and got dressed into their clothes when Max looked at his cell phone and sighed as he looked at Liz, she picked up on it and nodded.

“We should phone our parents or our friends,” Liz suggested and Max sighed as he nodded.

“I know, lets just phone Alex or Maria,” Max told her and she looked at him.

“Why don’t you want to phone our parents or your sister or Michael?” Liz asked and Max looked at her.

“Liz, your mom won’t be happy, not to mention your dad. My mom and dad will just tell me to come home believing that they can fix whatever problems I have. I really don’t want to face Isabel and Michael, Isabel has been trying to dream walk me and I could sense she was annoyed,” Max explained and Liz sighed as she nodded.

She reached into her bag and pulled out her phone and switched it on. It began beeping, letting her know that she had missed calls and texts.

“I have messages from everyone excluding Tess and your parents,” Liz informed him as she pressed two on her speed dial and held it to her ear.

/Hello? / A female voice greeted and Liz smiled.

“Hey Maria,” Liz greeted and got a relieved sigh in her ear.

/Liz! God girl, you have no idea what you have missed since you have
left! / Maria exclaimed. /Are you and Max okay? /

“We’re fine, I promise,” Liz swore.

/Good, Isabel has been doing her nut ever since Max left, not to mention Michael and Miss High and Mighty herself. /

“Maria,” Liz stated through laughers.

/I’m telling as I see it/ Maria told her. /Your mom hasn’t been happy, she’s furious/ Maria explained and Liz nodded.

“That would be the case,” Liz told her. “I just called you to let you know that Max and I are find,” Liz informed her.

/Good, when are you coming back? / Maria asked and Liz sighed.

“We don’t know if we’re coming back,” Liz admitted.

/What do you mean? / Maria asked.

“Max and I are talking about if we should go back to Roswell or if we should leave for good,” Liz explained.

/Because of all the dangers? / Maria asked and Liz nodded.

“Yeah,” Liz stated. “We’re still thinking about it, we haven’t made a decision yet,” Liz reassured. “Can you tell Alex and everyone that we’re find? Just don’t let them know about the choice we are making,” Liz told her.

/Sure, no problem, Chica/ Maria promised. /Oh! Alex has a new love interest/ Maria teased and Liz smiled.

“Who?” Liz asked.

/A new girl called Sarah, don’t worry, Alex checked her out, she’s normal/ Maria promised and Liz nodded.

“That’s great, but last I heard, he was pretty into Isabel,” Liz told her and Max perked up when he heard this.

/That’s a long story but I can promise that Alex won’t be seeing Isabel in a romantic light ever again/ Maria promised. /Good riddance I say/

“What happened?” Liz asked.

/Let just say that Alex saw the real Isabel and it broke his heart/ Maria explained. /Too long to explain/ Maria told her and Liz nodded.

“Okay, oh look, I gotta go, I have work and Max is waiting to drive me,” Liz explained. “Just let everyone know that we’re okay. Our phone will be off though, we’ll call you,” Liz told her.

/Okay, call me later/ Maria told her.

“I’ll try,” Liz promised. “Bye.” Liz shut the phone and stood up, smoothing her wrinkles out of her skirt.

“Alex has a new girlfriend?” Max asked as Liz moved closer to him.

“Yeah, apparently he saw Isabel in a new light and saw the real Isabel,” Liz explained as Max wrapped an arm around her waist and led her out of the motel, locking the door behind them.

“I wonder what that means,” Max mused.


Liz sighed as she stepped into the backroom. Today had been a busy day for her and she has been working constantly since she arrived. She was glad to have a break. She moved over to her locker and opened it and smiled when she saw the picture of her and Max stuck on the door.
There was a cough behind her and she turned to see one of the workers standing there.

“Oh! Hi, Carrie right?” Liz asked and the red haired nodded. She had curly red hair and green eyes.

“Yeah, that’s right,” she stated, her voice cool and Liz nodded.

“Was there something you wanted?” she asked and Carrie nodded.

“Yeah, what’s up with you and the hottie?” she asked and Liz looked at her curiously.

“Excuse me?” she asked.

“Max,” Carrie explained and Liz nodded.

“Oh, he’s my boyfriend,” Liz explained and took in the shocked, disbelieving look on the other girl’s face.

“Your boyfriend?” Carrie asked and Liz nodded.

“Yeah,” Liz confirmed and Carrie laughed.

“Oh come on sweetie, you don’t need to protect him from me, he’s your brother isn’t he?” Carrie asked and Liz frowned.

“No, he’s my boyfriend, we’ve been dating since February,” Liz told her and Carrie looked at Liz up and down and nodded.

“Uh huh,” Carrie stated with a non-believing tone before scoffing and walking out, leaving Liz confused. She shook her head and shut the locker door before stepping back out into the main café and smiled when she saw Max step into the café.

His dark eyes scanned the café and smiled when he saw Liz standing near the backroom, he made to go over to her when a red haired stopped him in his track. “Hi, Max right?” she asked and Max looked at her, confused, wondering how the hell she knew his name. “I’m Carrie, I work with your sister,” Carrie explained and Max’s eyebrows shot up.

“Funny, I didn’t think Isabel worked here,” Max told her and Carrie’s eyebrows furrowed.

“Isabel? No I mean Liz,” Carrie stated and Max looked at her, even more confused.

“Liz is my girlfriend, not my sister,” he stated and looked up at Liz, who shrugged, rolled her eyes and stepped into the backroom. He saw her talking to an older man, pointing to Max, he saw the older man nodded and Liz made her way over to her locker.

“Oh come on, I know you two are just making that up so you are protecting her,” Carrie stated with a giggle and Max sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

“Carrie, is it?” he asked and she nodded. “Liz Parker is my girlfriend, not my sister. I’m not pretending to protect her from anyone,” Max stated and watched as Liz came toward him, changed from her waitress outfit to her normal street clothes. She smiled brightly up at Max.

“Hey,” she greeted and Max grinned back as he leaned down and kissed her hotly on the mouth, slipping his hands around her waist, pulling her into his body.

“I missed you,” Max whispered when he pulled away for air and she grinned up at him.

“I missed you too,” she told him. “Mr. Watson gave me the rest of the day off for my hard work,” she informed him and he grinned.

“So that means I get to spend the rest of the day with you?” he asked, a leer coming into his voice as his eyes travelled up and down her body, causing her to blush and laugh.

“Down boy,” she told him and he laughed too as he spun her around to the door and they both walked out, leaving a fuming Carrie behind.

They made their way through the park and sat at the bench that was near the children area, Max had an arm around Liz’s shoulder as she rested her head on his shoulder, her hand linked with Max’s free hand as they watched the children play. “Do you think we’ll have children?” she asked, finally voicing the one question that had been burning in her mind since she found out about Max’s secret.

Max looked down at her dark hair and understood what she was asking, she was wondering if it was even possible for them to have children together, to have one that was a mixture of, both, him and Liz.

“I don’t know,” he admitted and Liz nodded, Max untangled his hand from hers and, gently, cupped her face and turned it to face him. “Do you want to have children?” he asked and Liz looked down as she bit her bottom lip.

“One day, yeah,” she whispered. “I’ve always wondered what it would be like, what our children would look like, if we could have them,” Liz admitted.

“What if we couldn’t have children?” he asked and Liz sighed.

“I would be disappointed but I wouldn’t change how I feel about you,” Liz told him. “I’d still love you, regardless if we have children or not but I would like us to be able to have children, one that was our own,” Liz explained and Max nodded.

“I feel the same, but Liz, my biological are different, I don’t know if we’ll be able to conceive or not,” Max admitted and Liz nodded as she rested her head on Max’s chest once more and they both just stared out into the distance, thinking of the future.

Chapter 4a


A bus pulled outside of the Crashdown, the doors opened and a duffle bag dropped down onto the ground before two black boots jumped down next to it. A hand reached down and picked up the bag and the figure slung it over his shoulder. He had dark brown hair and dark brown eyes that were hidden behind the black glasses he wore. He wore a black t-shirt and black jeans.

His lips curved into a half smirk as he looked at the Crashdown sign that were flashing brightly and made his way over to the alleyway and made his way through it till he came to stairs. He walked up the stairs and knocked on the door only for a red haired woman to answer and she smiled brightly when she saw the male.

“James!” she greeted as she hugged him and led him into the house before shutting the door behind them.

James Parker made his way into the living room where Jeff was sitting; he looked up and smiled when he saw James.

“Hey James,” Jeff greeted as he hugged his nephew.

“Hey Uncle Jeff,” he greeted as he clapped his uncle’s back before pulling away and looking around. “Where’s Liz?” he asked.

“She is out of town at the moment,” Nancy told him and James nodded, looking at his aunt curiously. He knew that she and Liz never really got on, the adults knew about it but never actually explained it to him. He knew that the answer would reveal itself sooner or later. The truth always got out

“So, what are you doing here?” Jeff asked and James looked at him, puzzled.

“Aunt Nancy called me, she asked me if I wanted to spend the rest of my school year down here,” James told him. “Mom agreed because my grades has been kinda slacking and she is hoping that Liz would rub off me and help me bring up my grades,” he explained and Jeff looked at Nancy before looking at James.

“Great, Liz would be able to help you, so would the rest of her friends, Max is pretty smart too,” he told him.

“I think you are better off not being near Max. Liz’s grades has been suffering slightly whenever she is near him,” Nancy told James. “He’s the type of person who likes to lead girls astray.”

“Isn’t Max Liz’s boyfriend?” he asked. “I remember her telling me about him when she called me once, she sounded really happy,” James told her and Nancy shook her head.

“No, Max isn’t a good one,” she told him and James nodded.

“Okay, I’ll have a look out for him,” he told her and Nancy nodded.

“Good, maybe you can help Liz realise that she has her whole life ahead of her and she is too young to get involve right now,” Nancy suggested and James looked at Nancy, curiously. She wanted him to meddle with Liz’s relationship? He decided that he would ask around town and see what everyone thinks of Max; he had a feeling that Nancy wasn’t telling him the whole truth.

“Nancy…” Jeff started and Nancy shook her head.

“No Jeff, you agreed with me. Max is not Liz’s type and she is far too much young to get involve with anyone,” Nancy shot at him and he backed down, eyeing his wife, he was going to have a word with her later about this.

“Okay, I’m gonna head to the spare room and place my stuff in it,” he told them and they nodded as James left the room and headed over to the spare room and threw his bag into it before hurrying over to the door and listened carefully.

Maria blew a strand of her blonde hair out of her face as she moved closer to the hatch and placed the order on the spinner.

“A plate of Space Fries and a Will Smith,” she informed and Jose nodded as he turned back to the grill and Maria turned back to face the door, when she saw a familiar figure heading toward the door.

The door jingled as Alex opened it and smiled when he saw Maria.

“Hey Maria,” Alex greeted as he stepped into the Crashdown and Maria smiled.

“Hey Whitman, how is Sarah?” she asked in a teasing tone and Alex laughed.

“It’s just a tutoring,” Alex protested and Maria lifted a shapely eyebrow causing Alex to nod in defeat. “Okay I like her but I don’t want to get involve straight away, not after Isabel,” he explained and she nodded.

“Okay, but I think Sarah is the one who will help you get over Isabel, she really seems like a nice person,” she informed him and he nodded.

“How is it going with Michael?” he asked and she scoffed.

“Don’t talk to me about him,” she told him. “The jerk has been ignoring me,” she informed and Alex sighed.

“He really does seem to want to follow his destiny,” Alex told her and she nodded.

“I know, I just wish that there was someway I could get over him,” she admitted and Alex smiled sadly at his best friend.

“Don’t worry Ria, if I can find someone, there is more than hope for you,” he promised as he reached over and patted Maria’s hand, causing her to smile at him.

“That Alex, you’re the best,” she told him before leaning over to kiss him on the cheek and moved over to the hatch where Jose had called out ‘order’, leaving Alex to watch her, wondering what he could do to help Maria.

“What is your problem?” Jeff demanded. “God Nancy, you brought James up here so he could keep an eye on Liz!” he snapped. “Whatever happened to trusting Liz?”

“Liz is too young to get involve with anyone,” Nancy told him. “Max will use her and break her heart, I don’t want to see Liz like that. She deserves better than Max.”

“Isn’t that for Liz to decide?” Jeff asked. “She is been great of judgement, so why are you all of a sudden questioning her?”

“Jeff, she started lying to us ever since that day of the shooting, everyone says that Max was in the Crashdown that day yet Liz is saying he wasn’t, she is covering for him. Not to mention all the late night trips and the countless of camping trips she had been taking. Add in the fact the Principal found them in the eraser room and they cut two academic classes. She snuck out of the house not so long after that, came back and shouted at me then snuck off the whole night with Max and came back with him the next morning,” Nancy pointed out. “He is leading her astray!”

“Nancy, I think you’re over reacting,” Jeff told her and Nancy scoffed.

“Our daughter is sneaking off each night, not to mention she has run off with the same guy in question!” Nancy snapped. “James will help Liz to get back on track and hopefully scare Max off before he can ruin her life even more and leave her heartbroken, or worse, pregnant and alone,” Nancy stated before stalking off, leaving Jeff frustrated at what was happening.

James listened from the other side, he frowned in confusion at what was going on; Liz was sleeping with Max? Liz had told him everything that happened, about the whole night trip and being caught by the Principal and heading out into the desert. He knew that there was something more than she was willing to tell him but he trusted her to tell him when she was ready. But hearing Nancy go on about Max being evil basically made him go on defensive, he had a feeling that Liz was going to face hell when she came back and promise that he would be there for her.

Time to visit a few of his friends that live in Roswell, maybe they could give him the low down on the characters that Liz was hanging out with.

James made his way back over to the Crashdown, confused at what was going on. So far, Nancy was the only one who seemed to hold a grudge against Max Evans. Everyone he had talked to said that Max was the silent kid, the girls lusted after him but he only ever seemed to notice Liz. There was a rumour of a shooting but it was dismissed as they never recovered the bullet and no one was harmed. They did tell James of the time where Max and Liz had been caught in the eraser room and they were quite happy about, they all said it was about time that two them made a move on. They became close after the shooting and they finally got together.

He had asked them about Nancy and they told him that she had been like that since Max and Liz had spent the night in the desert, she wasn’t happy, as far as they knew, no one in either side of the family was happy but no one made such a big fuss as Nancy did.

Puzzled he moved closer to the Crashdown, he remembered Liz telling him about Max being beated up by Kyle’s friend because he dared to breath in her direction and how Max had helped her to say goodbye to Grandma Claudia. He felt his heart clenched whenever he thought about Claudia, she was the best grandma any of them had and he knew that Liz and Claudia were very close, to see her die must had taken a toll on her and he was grateful that Max was there to help her.

He remembered how Liz told him that he wished Max would give in and give their relationship a chance, she told him it was because he had been abandoned by his parents at a young age, she thought it was keeping Max from having a relationship and was happy when Max finally gave in.

He shook his head as he stepped into the Crashdown and stopped when he saw a familiar blonde talking to a familiar dark haired guy. He smiled as he eyed Maria up and down, taking in the changes that her body had been through since he last saw her and had to admit that the Crashdown uniform was really making it easy.

He walked over to them and watched as Maria looked up, eyed him with curiosity till her eyes widen in recognition.

“James?” Maria asked and James smiled.

“Hey Ria, you’ve grown up,” He stated and she smiled slightly with Alex shaking his head, amused. “Hey Alex,” James greeted and Alex nodded.

“Nice to see you again, James. How come you are here?” he asked and James smiled.

“Aunt N asked me to stay, I’m coming to school here,” James explained and Alex nodded.

“Cool.”

“Is Liz about?” James asked and the pair of them looked at each other.

“Liz is a bit busy lately, she is out of town working on a project for school,” Maria explained and James nodded.

“Cool, let me know when she comes back, I want to surprise her,” James told her and Maria smiled.

“You most certainly will surprise her,” Maria said, flirtingly, and Alex bit back a smile at the sight of Maria flirting with another person.

“See you around Maria, looks like Roswell is gonna be fun this year,” He stated with a wink before heading up the stairs to the Parker’s apartment and Alex turned to Maria.

“Look at you, the smitten kitten,” Alex teased and Maria slapped him, playfully, on the arm.

“I’m not!” Maria denied and Alex just nodded, not once believing her.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed,

Zanity: They can't afford to be away from School too long, they do need the education and they are still debating over if they should go back where they are more likely to be in danger or leave where they are more safer. They still have to take into consideration of their parents and friends, not to mention the whole alien situation. Buying a house will be something they can use later if they go back to Roswell and they will need somewhere to go for their little 'study time'. You'll find out more about Carrie today.

LegalAlien: Glad to see you're liking the story.

roswell3053: Nancy will have more plans up her sleeves. James will take Liz's side because he trust her and he knows that Liz would never get involve with a guy who would hurt her, he trusts Liz's judgement.

Asabetha: They will be annoyed that they are moving on quicker than expected, it will all be explained. For the alien aybass, well, we just have to watch and see. And for Liz, you'll see.

Timelord31: Yep, but you don't have to worry, if Max and Liz do go back, they won't let anyone get in between them and they won't let anyone tell them what to do, so don't worry about that.

Here's the next chapter and i'm glad that people like James.

****************************************

Chapter 4b


There was a banging noise at the door, Max woke up first, shaking his head from the cloud that was fogging his mind.

“What the hell?” Max muttered as he got up, Liz stirred as she rolled over on the bed and looked at Max.

“Max?” she asked.

“Someone’s at the door,” Max explained as he pulled on his jeans, she looked toward the door and there was another banging only this time, accompanied with a male voice.

“Who is in there?” he demanded and Liz looked at Max.

“Change your image,” She told him and he looked at her.

“What?” he asked.

“It’s the new manager, change your image, make yourself look a little rougher,” She explained and Max stared at her before lifting a hand and running it through his hair, growing his hair a little longer, letting the curls curl over his ear and a little further down his neck and running a hand over his face growing a few days worth of stubble before marking a bicep length of tattoo around his left bicep and a another tattoo saying Liz over the whirlpool symbol over his right bicep.

“Better?” he asked and she nodded, licking her lips as he shook his head, amused before answering the door, leaning on the door frame, he looked at the manager and held back the need to roll his eyes at the predictable sight, a greasy haired short man with a belly. “What?” Max asked in a bored tone.

“You rent this room? Cause it never said on the book that it was rented,” He demanded and Max sighed.

“Don’t worry, I gotcha covered, I just needed a place to crash, that’s all,” Max stated as he reached into his back pocket and pulled out a hundred bills, he was about to hand it over when he heard a moan.

“Max, hurry up,” Liz moaned, Max turned to see Liz lying on his side of the bed, the sheets wrapped around her body with a leg hanging off the side of the bed.

The manager looked in and his eyes widen when he saw this and Max moved his body, cutting off the show.

“Show’s over,” Max stated as he wrapped the money up and put it in the manager’s pocket before pushing him away and shutting the door and turning back to his girlfriend. “A bit impatient aren’t cha?” he asked as he moved over to the bed as she got up on her knees and smirked at her boyfriend.

He lifted his hand to remove everything when she grabbed his hand and pulled him toward her.

“Leave it, you look bad like this,” She whispered and he smirked down at her.

“Bad boy huh?” he asked as he ducked his head down to scrape his teeth lightly against her neck, causing her to gasp as she slid her hand into his hair, holding him to her neck while his hands crept round and cupped her butt, pulling her waist in closer to his so he could pressed his arousal up against her.

“Oh god, Max…” Liz gasped; he ripped the sheet away from her body and pressed her up against his body, the rough jeans against her core was electrifying her. He bent her backward slightly as he trailed his lips down her chest till it latched on to one nipple as he thrusted his jean clad hips into her, causing her to tighten her hold in his hair before he took the nipple between his teeth and bit it slightly, causing her to whimper. “Max…”
Max threw her back on the bed as he knelt on the bed and crawled on top of her and leaned down to kiss her hard while Liz pushed him up onto his knees. She licked her lips as she lifted herself into a sitting position and unzipped his jeans before pulling them down, causing his erection to jump out, standing up straight.

She smirked up at him before she leaned her head in and took him into her mouth, causing his hands to tangle themselves in her dark hair and to grit his teeth as he watched his girlfriend suck him. Once he felt he was getting close to the edge, he yanked her head away from him and dragged her up so that he could bring her in for a hard bruising kiss as one hand slid its way down to her butt. He cupped it and spread her legs before thrusting himself into her.

“YES!” Liz hissed out as she threw her head back as Max dropped his head into the corner of her shoulder and neck before sucking the skin into his mouth, biting it slightly as Liz bit her bottom lip as Max began to thrust in and out of her as hard and fast as he could.

He braced her back against the wall, sitting her on top of the headboard as she wrapped her legs around his waist, letting her nails rake their way down his back as she felt her orgasm build up. Max yanked his face away from her neck and took her lips into his mouth once more as he cupped a breast and let his hand play with it, kneading it and pinching the nipple as one hand slid down and scratched her clit, causing Liz to scream out Max’s name as her head threw back once more, cracking the wall as her walls clenched around Max. Max groaned as he pumped himself into her as his own orgasm washed over him.

They both fell back onto the bed once more, breathing heavily as they stared at each other, wide eyes.

“Wow,” Max stated once he got his breath back, they both stared at the ceiling, still in a shock at what they had done and he turned to face Liz. “I didn’t hurt you did I?” he asked and Liz shook her head.

“Nope, only mind blowing orgasm,” she told him, breathing heavily as she tried to get her heart rate back under control and Max turned back to the ceiling.

“That was…”

“Different,” Liz stated and they both looked at each other and Liz smile. “But a good different,” she confirmed and Max nodded as she looked at the clock. “I’ll be late for work if I don’t get a move on,” she told him as she wrapped the sheet around her body and got off the bed while Max move onto his side and watched her as she moved around the room. He smiled as he watched this, he couldn’t wait till he had the chance to live with her in their house somewhere and watch her do all the time, be so relaxed and comfortable around him that she could walk about with a sheet or just naked around him.

Liz turned around and smiled when she saw Max watching her. “Why are you watching me?” she asked and Max grinned as he got out of bed, wrapping the sheet around his waist and moved closer to her.

“My sexy girlfriend in a sheet,” he told her as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his body while leaning down to her kiss her. She smiled into his kiss as she reached her arms up and wrapped them around his neck as she kissed him back but pulled away when she felt Max untie her sheet.

“Oh no you don’t,” she told him with a mock glare. “If we get started now, I will definitely be late for work,” she told him as she pushed him back onto the bed and made her way into the bathroom, shutting the door behind her as Max stared at the door, an amused smile gracing his face as he shook his head. She could be feisty when she wanted to be.

They both were ready and they made their way out of the motel room and got into the jeep.

Liz arrived at her work, she kissed Max goodbye before Max left for his work and stepped into the café.

“So, how is your brother?” Carrie asked as Liz passed her and Liz stopped in her tracks and turned to face her with an annoyed look.

“Carrie, Max and I are boyfriend and girlfriends, he’s not my brother!” she snapped before heading into the backroom, she was getting annoyed with Carrie’s ambition to get with Max and telling herself that they were brothers and sisters. “We definitely should be in jail if we were cause my thoughts are not exactly PG friendly,” she muttered to herself as she opened her locker and pulled out her apron and pad and pencil before gearing herself up and headed back out into the main area.

Max made his way over to the café after working a six hour shift in the lawyer, he had good news for Liz and couldn’t wait to tell her but he wanted to make sure that she wasn’t being bothered by Carrie, she was definitely getting on his nerves.

He was about to step into the café when all of a sudden he felt a hand on his arm, spinning him around. He found himself up against the wall and a warm body pressed up against him.

“Move Carrie,” he told her and she smiled up at him and let out a little purr.

“Hello Max,” she purred and he grimaced in disgust.

“Get off me,” he ordered and she laughed.

“Oh come on Max, you know you want me,” Carrie stated and Max sighed as he grabbed her arms and pushed her away.

“Carrie, I’m only going to say this once and I want you to listen
carefully,” he told her and she perked up only for Max’s gaze to harden. “I’m with Liz and I’m only going to be with Liz. I love Liz and there is nothing that anyone can do or say will change it. So I think you need to move on and find some other guy who is willing to sink down low to your level because I’m not interested in you or any other girl that walks my path because Liz is the only girl for me,” he informed her and shoved her away. “Now stay the hell away from me and Liz, cause I swear, if Liz tells me you have been tormenting her or asking her questions or anything, I will come and find you and I will make sure your life will be a misery,” he promised before walking away, shaking his head while Carrie watched him go as fear ran through her veins.

“Hey baby,” Liz greeted when she saw Max step into the café, he smiled when he saw her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

“So, when do you get off?” he asked. “I want to spend some more time with my girl,” he told her and she looked up at him, curious.

“You seem to be in a happy mood, I’m guessing you sorted things out with Carrie?” she asked and Max grinned down at her and kissed her forehead.

“Don’t you worry about her, she won’t be bothering us again,” Max promised and she smiled up at him before looking down at a customer while Max looked over her head and glared at Carrie, who looked at them through the window. She certainly won’t be bothering them again.

Liz shut her locker with a satisfying sigh and pulled on Max’s leather jacket that she had borrowed. She smiled as she turned the lapel up and smelled it, smiling when she smelt Max’s scent before pulling her hair out of the jacket and leaving the backroom. She walked over to where her boyfriend was leaning against the counter. He looked up and smiled when he saw her and wrapped an arm around her waist and they both left the building, feeling free and carefree.

They made their way over to the park and sat down on a bench that was next to the lake. Max rested himself near the edge of the bench while Liz nestled herself into Max’s side, resting her head on his shoulder as they both gazed out to the lake.

“How do you think everyone is doing?” Liz asked and Max sighed.

“I know Isabel is pissed off at me, she keeps trying to dream walk me, so if she is annoyed then you can bet that Michael and Tess are annoyed,”
he told her and Liz sighed.

“Why can’t they just give us a break?” she asked and Max scoffed.

“The day Isabel gives me a break is the day when the world comes to an end,” he muttered. Liz sighed as she turned her head and rested her chin on his shoulder, causing him to look at her. “How do you think Kyle will this?” Max asked and Liz wrinkled her nose.

“I don’t know Max, he never really like you before,” she reminded and Max sighed as he turned his face back round to the front.

“Tell me about it,” he muttered and Liz sighed. “He hates me because he thinks I stole you away from him,” he muttered and Liz rolled her eyes.

“And if you think, you never actually did steal me away from him, you always had me,” she told him and he looked at her and she rolled her eyes. “Max, I had a huge crush on you since seventh grade, if you don’t believe me, ask Maria, she’ll back me up,” Liz told him and he continued to look at her in a stunned disbelief, causing Liz to smile and look away back to the lake “But the question still remains, do we go back?” Liz asked as she rested her head against Max’s shoulder and they both stared out into the distance.

I think maybe they should do a fly by night visit to steal their transcripts so they can go to school whereever they are now... or someplace else. And stay away for a year or so. Maybe come back senior year or after highschool. Loved the part, can't wait for more.

Here's the next chapter.


Chapter 5a


Michael made his way into the Crashdown; his eyes caught Maria behind the counter working. He felt a stab in his heart when he saw her. He had done nothing but hurt her since she found out the truth about them and shook his head.

He made his way over to a booth and sat down on it. He thought back to the time he was working with Tess on his powers and she dropped the bombshell that she fancied him. He couldn’t help but dream of her, she was certainly attractive but he couldn’t help but feel that he was betraying Max. What if Max were to come back and decided that he wanted to be with Tess? He would betray his best friend in that way.

Maria made her way over to the booth and pulled out her pad and a pencil.

“What can I get ya?” she asked and he looked up at her.


“Just a plate of fries,” he told her and she nodded as she wrote it down on her pad. “So, how have you been?” he asked and she looked at him with a raise eyebrow.

“Fine,” she informed him with a shrug. “Alex’s been getting on great with Sarah and I’ve been having a great time,” she informed him and Michael scoffed.

“Come on Maria, you did this before to make me jealous, there’s no point in trying it again,” he informed her and Maria laughed, sarcastically.

“Michael, think again. Alex and I are moving on, we’re finally finding a way out of the alien abyss for once and you guys can’t handle it,” she hissed at him only to stop when she heard a cough behind her.

Michael arched an eyebrow when he saw a dark haired boy behind Maria. Maria spun around only to look into the amused eyes of James Parker. “James,” she greeted and James grinned.

"Hey Maria, I just wanted to ask you a question,” he told her and she titled her head slightly, interested to hear what he had to say.

“Yeah?” she asked.

“I was wondering if you were busy tomorrow night,” he asked
and she furrowed her brows in amusement.

“No, I’m not,” she informed him and he nodded.

“I wondering, if you would like to come out on a date with me,” he told her and her eyebrows shot up in shock.

“Oh…wow,” she stuttered and James grinned.

“Too straightforward?” he teased and she laughed.

“Yes, I would love to go out on a date with you,” she told him
and he stared at her, shocked before grinning.

“Great!” he told her. “Pick you up outside your house at 7 tomorrow? We can go to movie then out for a meal,” he told her and she
nodded.

“That sounds great,” she told him and he nodded before leaving the Crashdown with Maria staring after him before turning back to Michael with a dreamy look on her face. “Anything else you wish to order?” she asked and Michael shook his head and received a nod in return before heading over to the counter.

Michael sat there, stunned at what just happed. A guy, a stranger no doubt, just asked his Maria out! In front of him! A short voice snipped into his brain. “But you broke up with her and have no right to call her your Maria anymore,” the voice stated and Michael hung his head as his made up his mind. Maria wasn’t the only one who could move on.

He pulled out the cell phone that Isabel had leant him and dialled a number before placing the phone near his ear and waiting for the answer.

/Hello? / A female voice answered.

“Hey Tess, it’s Michael,” Michael greeted.

/Oh, hey Michael, what’s up? / She asked.

“I was wondering if you could meet me at the Crashdown, I have thought about you what you said to me and I have an answer,” he told her and got her reply. He hung up and waited as Maria brought his plate of fries over.

“Have fun,” she told him before walking off once more. Michael picked at his fries when the doorbell jingled. He turned and saw Tess step through the door and she smiled as she made her way over to him and sat across from him.

“Hey,” she greeted and eyed him curiously. “What did you wanted to see me for?” she asked.

“I thought about what you said, that day in my apartment,” he told her and she looked at him.

“You mean?” she gestured to between them two and he nodded.

“Yeah,” he told her and she sat up, suddenly interested in what he had to say. “So, what do you say to a date tonight?” he asked and she smiled brightly.

“Sure,” she told him. “What time?” she asked.

“Seven? We could go for a movie then out for dinner?” he suggested and she nodded.

“That would be great,” she told him and he grinned too before looking out the corner of his eye to see Maria laughing at something Jose told her. A stab of annoyance went through him when he realised that Maria wasn’t even interested in what was happening between him and Tess.

Isabel made her way into the Crashdown and smiled when she saw Michael and Tess and made her way over to them and sat down.

“Hey guys,” she greeted.

“Hey Isabel,” Michael greeted and Tess leaned forward.

“Have you managed to reach Max yet?” she asked and Isabel threw her a disgusted/annoyed look.

“No I haven’t,” she muttered and she heard laughers. She looked over to see Alex and Maria standing at the counter, Maria was telling Alex something and he was laughing. “But I bet I know who does,” she stated as she got up with Michael and Tess and they made their way over to duo.

“Uh oh, gotta run,” Maria muttered to Alex and Alex turned to see the remaining pod squad making their way over to them.

“Too late,” Alex stated and Maria grinned as she turned to face them.

“And what can I do for you guy? Blood smoothie?” she got a glare in return.

“What were you laughing about over here?” Isabel snapped and Maria arched an eyebrow.

“You came over here just to ask us what we were laughing about?” she asked and Isabel nodded and Alex bit back a snigger as he looked at Maria.

“We were just talking about Max and Liz,” Alex stated and Isabel glared at him.

“So you have heard from them?” she asked and Maria nodded.

“They’re fine,” Maria stated and Isabel scoffed.

“Why would they phone you and not me? I’m Max’s sister!” Isabel snapped.

“Probably because they wanted to speak to someone who was less likely to lecture them,” Maria muttered.

“When are they coming back?” Tess asked and Maria shrugged.

“Don’t know yet,” Maria told them.

“What you mean, don’t know yet?” Michael exploded. “They are either coming straight back here or the ‘king’ decided he wants to take a longer vacation,” Michael snapped.

“I’m not surprise,” Maria stated. “Why wouldn’t Max want to stay away and recover?”

“He can recover at home,” Isabel stated.

“I doubt it,” Maria stated and Isabel turned to face her.

“And what is that suppose to mean?” Isabel stated.

“The guy went through hell with the FBI in the white room, then he finds out that he is destined to be with the gerbil over there, I’m not surprised he high tailed it out of Roswell. He wouldn’t have been able to recover properly. Liz is the only one who he’ll talk to and in the process, may be the only one to help him recover!” Maria snapped.

“How dare you!” Tess breathed out and Maria got in her face.

“No, how dare you,” Maria snapped back. “You came into Roswell and tried to rip Max and Liz apart with your mind rape, you didn’t give a damn about what you were doing to Max and Liz. All you wanted was yourself and you blame Max for wanting to get away? The guy has been violated by having his control stripped away from him by you mind warping him, he been through in hell in the white room then he found out his worst nightmare, a whole planet is expecting him to drop his life, the only one he knows of, and go up there to save them!” Maria snapped. “None of you give a damn about anyone other than yourself that I find it extremely difficult to believe that Max even came from the same hatch from you guys,” Maria finished with a shake of her head and walked off.

“I have to go, I’m meeting up with Sarah,” Alex stated and Isabel looked at him, sharply.

“Didn’t take long for you to get over me,” Isabel stated and Alex shrugged with a smirk.

“Just like what you said, it was only fun,” Alex stated and left, leaving Isabel scowling.

Alex made his way over to a house; he walked up the pathway and rang the doorbell. A few seconds later Sarah answered the door and smiled when she saw him.

“Hey Alex,” she greeted and Alex grinned back at her.

“Hey Sarah, ready for more updating?” he asked and she laughed as she stepped back and allowed him space into the house. Alex stepped through and watched as Sarah shut the door and led the way toward her bedroom. He couldn’t help but admire Sarah butt as her jeans cupped them. She wore a white halter neck with her red hair up in a messy twist and she was barefooted.

“Sorry about the mess, still unpacking,” Sarah told him as they entered her room and Alex shook his head.

“No problem,” he told her as they moved closer to the bed. They both sat down and Alex pulled out his computer notes and went over them to Sarah with Sarah taking notes, occasionally, enjoying her time with Alex.

An hour later, they both found themselves standing, the lecture was over and Sarah was feeling a little disappointed. “Okay, tomorrow at the same time?” he asked and she nodded. He grinned as he turned to face the door when Sarah finally plucked up the courage.

“Alex?” she called out and he stopped and turned to face her.

“Yeah?” he asked as she moved forward to him so she stood in front of him.
“You know, I really like you,” Sarah told him and Alex smiled as he looked at her.

“I really like you too,” Alex told her and Sarah laughed.

“No Alex, I mean, I really like you,” she emphasises and Alex’s eyebrows shot up when he got the meaning.

“Oh!” he exclaimed and Sarah smiled as she leaned in, she cupped the side of Alex’s face and leaned in. Alex closed his eyes when her soft lips met his. She kissed his bottom lip before kissing his upper lip, causing Alex to wrap his arms around her waist and pull her in closer, causing her to wrap her arms around his neck as he traced her lips with his tongue, causing her to open her mouth so he could taste her.

Mrs Johnson walked by but stopped when she saw her daughter in a passionate clinch with the young man that had been around and smiled to herself. She had see how Alex has been hesitated to let Sarah in and guessed that he had been hurt. She had seen Sarah go through the same thing before with a guy in their old town and was glad to see that Sarah was finally letting go of the hurt and moving on. She reached in and closed the door before moving on.

“So, how is Michael getting on with his powers?” Isabel asked. She and Tess were sitting on the bed, painting their toenails and using their powers to change the colours.

“He’s getting better control over them,” Tess told her and she looked at Tess, sensing a change in her.

“Spill it, you have been acting like a firefly all day,” Isabel stated and Tess laughed slightly.

“Michael asked me out,” she admitted and Isabel rocked back in shock.

“But I thought you and Max…” she started and Tess nodded.

“I know but when I came here, I thought I wanted to be with Max because he is my husband and I’m not going to deny that he is hottie and I would love to get him in the sack, he is a little too controlling to be my type. Michael on the other hand, there’s something that just attracts me and he wants to follow destiny and save our people, which is a lot more than what I can say for Max,” she told her and Isabel nodded. “You don’t want Michael,” she asked and Isabel caught on.

“God no!” she exclaimed. “I love Michael, he is like a brother to me. If you two are happy, then go ahead. I just wish my brother would wake up and see what a catch you are,” she admitted. “You can help us fight our enemies, Liz can’t as she is too human and Max loses control around her,” she muttered and Tess nodded as they turned back to their toes, now working in silence.

“How about you and Alex?” Tess asked. “You seemed a little frosty with him earlier,” she admitted and Isabel sighed.

“It’s just, I really thought Alex really liked me and to see that he went off with another girl so soon after I broke up with him, it just makes me feel that he was never interested in me that much and that is kinda insulting you know, I mean, I’m every guys dreams, blonde hair, big chest,” Isabel listed and Tess nodded.

“Don’t worry, its Alex loss, either that or he is trying to make you jealous by going out with someone that’s not even half as gorgeous as you,” Tess stated and Isabel nodded in agreement as they turned back to their toenails, feeling better.

Naesco made his way through the hallway of the FBI; he was growing frustrated at the lack of messages from Max. He wanted everything back in his control. He wanted that deal to be fulfilled so he could get off this forsaken planet where mindless human beings walked about, ignorant about everything that was happening around them. He wanted to be back on Antar where he had people under his control, to be back in his environment and the only way that was going to happen was if Max Evans got his head out between of his girlfriend’s legs and got a move on with Tess and get her pregnant.

He shook his head; he could understand the attraction of Liz Parker. Hell, if he wasn’t willing to risk his life for a human begin, he would certainly shape shift himself back into his king and try her out just to see how wild she could be in bed but it was too risky. She knew, somehow, that he wasn’t Max and he wasn’t about to risk the wrath of his king. He may be a boy but he was still the reincarnation of King Zan and Zan had a temper that was dangerous when lit up and he wasn’t going to die when he had his chance within his grasp.

He entered Pierce’s room and sat down behind the desk, he pulled out a video and slid it into the VCR and switched it on and tapped the remote to his chin as he watched as Max healed the rash/hickey that was on Liz’s neck and frown to himself.

Pierce knew Max’s secret all this time yet waited before he could move in and capture him, he couldn’t understand Pierce and why he was taking this long to capture Max but understood it. He wanted Liz too. Naesco scowled. That girl has been nothing but a pain in the ass ever since Max healed her. She ruined everything that he had worked for so he needed to find a way to get rid of her and he came up with the plan.

Only Max got in the way and got himself capture the foolish boy, but he thought about it and had hoped that Max would blame Liz for his capture but of course, it didn’t work. When he saw her in the chamber, he knew that there would be no separating them.

He switched the VCR off and pulled out the tape before placing it in the palm of his hand and setting it on fire. He threw the ashes into the bin before turning to the window. He just hoped that Tess was doing a better job of getting Michael to fall in line.

Maria took a breather as she stepped into the backroom room and walked over to her locker. She opened it and smiled when a picture of her, Liz and Alex came into view. Alex was in the middle with both girls hugging him. She reached up and touched Liz’s face and wished that her best friend were here with them.

She knew that it wasn’t safe for them, especially Max, to be in Roswell but it didn’t stop her from missing them. She even missed Max’s leadership and pacemaker. He was the only one who could calm a room with his presence and she missed how Liz would laugh and share ice cream with her.

Yeah, she loved Alex but there was only so much you could share with a guy before you go into the no-go area and Alex freaking out over too much information.

She heard a cough and smiled to herself as she turned around and saw James standing there behind her.

“Would you like a cough drop?” she teased and James laughed.

“No, I didn’t want to startle you, you seemed in deep thought,” he told her and she nodded, touched by his thoughtfulness and couldn’t help but compare him and Michael together and wondered just how much she cared about Michael if her heart was jumping every time she saw James.

“Thank you,” she told him and he nodded before looking at the picture she was looking at and his face turned to understanding.

“You miss Liz?” he asked and she nodded.

“Yeah I do, I understand it’s important for her to be away for this project, it can help her get a good grade so she can get a scholarship but…” she trailed off and he nodded in understanding.

“But you miss your best friend,” he told her and she nodded.

“Yeah,” she told him and he nodded.

“Don’t worry, she’ll be back soon and you can have all the girl talk and ice cream you can fit in,” he teased with a wink causing her to laugh. “See you tonight Maria,” he reminded her before heading up the stairs to the apartment, leaving Maria resting her back against the lockers with a small dreamy smile as she watched him go. He was definitely different from Michael and that was a good thing.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed,

Zanity: Glad you liked james and we'll see. Mrs. Johnson is not like the other mothers, she and Sarah are really close and she trust her daughter. Michael, well, he was never really thoughtful that much. Glad you like Maria.

Timelord31: I thought you would be. Michael is only dating Tess as a way to get back at Maria, she's moving on so he decided to go for second best. The same as Tess, She went for Michael as second best to Max.

roswell3053: Yep, i was fed up that Maria and Alex kept finding themselves hurt and dragged back into the Alien Abyss due to them and Isabel always seemed to be thinking of herself during this season so i thought payback. This is Isabel and Michael remember, they want answers to their past so they'll listen to whatever Tess has.

LegalAlien: Isabel was never going to follow her destiny by getting together with Michael. She still wants to save their planet. She just thinks that Tess is getting together with Michael as payback to Max for ignoring her and running off with Liz and think Michael is just helping Tess along in hope that Max would wake up and leave Liz. Max and Liz will sort people's attuide out for them.


Here's the next chapter.

Chapter 5b


Liz sighed as she turned around and opened her eyes. She looked up and smiled when she saw Max’s sleeping face above her. She let one hand cup the side his face and let her thumb trace his lips. She couldn’t help but admire how he looked like a young man; the teenager that he is but never seems to be when he is awake. She hated that he had the whole world on his shoulder and wanted to free him of that burdened but she knew that she never could.

She sighed as she pulled her hand away from his cheek and rested it on his chest as her eyes dropped down to where the small scar was from where Pierce had gotten the scalpel to cut into his skin. She blinked back the tears as she ran her finger over it only for a hand to cover hers and pull it away.

Startled, she looked up and into Max’s dark eyes.

“Why don’t you heal it?” she asked and Max looked over her head as he sighed.

“Because it helps me that we can’t really trust anyone,” he admitted and she pulled herself up so they were at eye level and she cupped his cheeks once more.

“You can trust me,” she told him and he smiled slightly.

“I know I can,” Max told her and she rested her forehead on his.

“Who can’t you trust?” she asked.

“Liz, we thought we could trust the law but Pierce dressed up like a deputy just to get to us,” he explained and she nodded.

“I know,” she whispered and she looked down at his scars. “Max, you don’t need this to remind yourself, you have the nightmares,” she told him and Max shrugged.

“I don’t know what it is, its like a reminder to know that people are out there who are willing to get their hands on me and that life is short,” he admitted and Liz closed her eyes, causing Max to look at her. “Liz…” he started and she shook her head.

“I know,” she whispered. He just leaned down and kissed her forehead before looking at the ceiling once more.

“So, should we go back or move into that house of ours?” he asked and Liz grinned as she looked up at him. They had finally gone out to check out the house and found out why the price kept getting knocked down. It was falling apart at the seams but thank to a very handy alien, the house was looking great and liveable.

“Move into the house,” she told him and he grinned as he looked down at her.

“You just want to get in that deep bath don’t you?” he asked and she nodded.

“I love baths,” she admitted and he kissed her forehead once more.

“I know but Liz, we need our education,” he told her and she sighed.

“Maybe we should go back,” Liz told him and he looked down at her, noticing the conflicting emotions in her and nodded to himself as he turned on his side and looked down at her.

“So, do you want to go back?” Max asked and Liz looked up at him. “I mean it Liz, I want to hear what you want,” he explained and she nodded.

“Yes, I want to go back,” she whispered and Max nodded.

“Then we’ll go back,” he told her and she looked up at him.

“Max, if you…” she halted when Max placed his index finger on her lips and shook his head.

“No Liz, if going back to Roswell makes you happy, then that what we’re going to do,” he told her and she nodded.

“Okay,” she told him and grinned slightly as she reached up and kissed him hard on the mouth before resting her head on his chest. Her smiled dimmed as her face went out of view of Max’s. She had a feeling that things were going to get worst.


Max and Liz found themselves sitting in the jeep, outside the Evans’s house. Max just stared at the house and Liz reached out, taking his hand, causing him to look at her. “They are not going to know by us just sitting out here,” she told him and got out of the jeep.

She made her way around the jeep and stood next to Max as he got out of the jeep and linked hands with Liz. They both made their way over to the house and Max opened the door. He let Liz through it before stepping in himself and shutting the door behind him.

Diane Evans stepped through in the hallway when she heard the door open and shut, she knew that Isabel was over at the mall with her friends and wouldn’t be back for several hours and her husband was in the study room. She came to a stop when she saw her son standing there, holding on to Liz’s hand like it was a lifeline.

“Hey mom,” Max whispered and Diane felt the tears come to her.

“Max,” she whispered as her hand cupped her mouth before she stepped forward and embraced her son in her arms. Max wrapped the arm he had freed around his mother and hugged his mother. Liz just wrapped her other hand around Max’s arm and smiled as she watched her boyfriend and mother reunite.

Diane pulled away and cupped her son’s face and kissed his forehead. “I’m so glad you came back honey,” she told him and he nodded. “Oh, Phillip!” Diane called out and Phillip came out of his study. He moved into the hallway and rounded the corner only to stop when he saw his son standing there with his girlfriend, the same girlfriend he went missing with for an entire night and for nearly three months.

“Max,” Phillip greeted and Max nodded.

“Dad,” Max greeted and Phillip moved closer and embraced his son.

“Glad you came back,” Phillip told him before pulling away and he led them into the living room. Phillip and Diane sat on one couch while Max and Liz sat on the opposite couch.

“Why did you leave?” Phillip asked and Max sighed.

“Life was getting to us,” Max told him. “Isabel was getting on my case, just being really annoying and you know she wasn’t really happy with me and Liz dating. Michael has been getting on my back as well and our exams just caught up with us,” Max explained.

“My parents hasn’t been happy about mine and Max’s relationship that they started pressuring me, add that in with the exams. I just felt like was losing control of everything,” Liz admitted and Diane sighed.

“Why couldn’t you just come to us?” she asked and Max leaned forward.

“Mom, we needed to get away and that included not talking to you because Isabel would have gotten the message. I got messages on my phone and I can tell she isn’t happy at all,” Max explained and Diane sighed as she sat back and nodded as she understood.

“We better go and see my parents,” Liz admitted and Max nodded as he and Liz stood up.

“Okay sweetie, but I expect to see you back here tonight,” Diane warned Max and he nodded as they both left the house and headed over to the
jeep.


They found themselves in the alleyway behind the Crashdown and got out of the jeep. They headed up the stairs and Liz let them through into the apartment and they headed toward the living room.

Liz stopped in the doorway and saw her father sitting on the chair at the desk. Max reached forward and took her hand in his, showing his support.

Jeff turned around in his chair and his eyes fell on his daughter, one that he hadn’t seen for almost three months. His eyes widen when he realise it wasn’t a dream.

“Liz,” he whispered and Liz smiled slightly as she shrugged, still holding onto Max’s hand.

“Hi dad,” Liz greeted as she stepped into the living room; Jeff stood up and hugged her.

“Where have you been?” Jeff asked once more let his daughter go and she sat on the couch with Max, opposite of Jeff. “Max,” he greeted and
Max nodded.

“About,” Liz told him and Jeff shook his head.

“That’s not good enough, Liz,” he told her and she sighed.

“Dad…” she started and there was a click of the lock. Startled, they all turned to see Nancy step through the door and she stopped when she saw Liz sitting on the couch with her boyfriend.

“Liz,” Nancy greeted as she moved closer. “You finally came home.”

“Mom,” Liz greeted as she stood up and Nancy nodded.

“And you are still with Max,” Nancy stated and shook her head. “Liz, when are you going to realise that all Max is going to do is ruin your life?” Nancy demanded and Liz lifted a hand.

“Stop it!” Liz snapped. “I didn’t come back here to get a lecture, Max and I needed to get away because we were sick and tired of everyone getting on to our relationship and add in the pressure of exams, we needed a break from everyone,” Liz informed her and shook her head. “Mom, you need to accept that Max is going to be a permanent part of my life. I’m not going to break up with him because you don’t like him and if you keep this up, you will lose me,” Liz warned her.

“Liz, can’t you just see I’m trying to protect you?” Nancy asked.

“No mom, all I can see is someone who is trying to control me,” Liz replied and Jeff stood up, stopping any more argument.

“Enough,” Jeff stated and they turned to look at him.

“Jeff, she needs to…” Nancy started but was cut off when Jeff shook his head.

“No Nancy, we just got our daughter back. I’m not letting you run her off again,” he warned her and Nancy scoffed before leaving the room as Liz sat back down.

“I’m sorry,” Liz stated and Jeff shook his head.

“She just loves you Liz, all she wants to do is protect you,” Jeff told her and Liz nodded, she exchanged a look with Max but they both kept silent.

“Yeah, anyway, I just came here to let you know that I’m back. We need to see everyone else and let them know that we’re back now,” Liz explained and Jeff nodded as Max and Liz got off the couch and made their way over to the door and stepped down to the back to the café.

Once they reached the bottom step, Max pulled Liz into a hug and kissed her forehead.

“Still want to stay here?” he asked in a teasing tone and she laughed slightly as she buried her face in his chest.

“Yeah,” she admitted as she pulled away and looked up into his eyes. “Can’t be all this bad,” she told him and he arched an eyebrow.

“Want to bet on that?” he asked and she laughed as they both made their way through the main café.

Maria turned around when she heard the door open and her face brightened when she saw her best friend stepping through.

“Liz!” Maria exclaimed as she ran over and hugged her, Liz just closed her eyes and hugged Maria back; she had missed Maria so much over the summer. She pulled herself back and found herself enveloped in a hug from her other best friend.

“Miss you kiddo,” Alex told her and Liz smiled as she held onto him, inhaling the scent that was Alex.

Meanwhile, Maria had turned to Max and, to his surprise, pulled him into a hug.

“Thank you for looking after her,” Maria whispered and Max nodded.

“No problem,” Max whispered back and Maria nodded as she pulled away, she smiled once more before looking back at her best friend who was now talking animatedly with Alex.

Isabel ran over to Max and pulled him into a hard hug.

“What were you thinking of leaving?” Isabel demanded once she had broken the hug and looked at her brother in the eyes.

“Sorry,” Max told them and Tess shook her head in annoyance and signalling that Max wasn’t going to get off easy.

“Sorry doesn’t cut it,” Tess told him. “You’re the king, you don’t have time to be missing and running about with humans,” Tess told him and Max
glared at her.

“It’s because of Liz that I even came back,” Max told her. “I was all for leaving Roswell but Liz didn’t want to leave her parents, Maria and Alex so we came back.”

Tess looked at Liz before glaring at Max, obviously frustrated at what was going on with Max, she had thought it was Max’s idea to come back to Roswell only to find out that it was the ‘perfect’ Liz Parker’s idea.

“So, what happened over the summer?” Maria asked, jumping in to stop Tess from making a scathing remark to her best friend. Liz turned to
Maria with a bright smile.

“We bought a house!” Liz exclaimed.

“What?” Maria asked and Liz nodded.

“We bought a house because we couldn’t live in motel for the rest of our lives, this was before we made the decision to come back, and we bought a house,” Liz told her.

“What did mom and dad say?” Isabel demanded.

“How the hell did you pay for it?” Michael snapped.

“We got jobs, full time with good pay and saved enough money. We bought it rather than renting it because it’s cheaper in the long run,” Max explained. “Mom and dad were upset because they thought we were planning on moving in, we told them that we bought it because we were unsure about coming back and decided that we’ll keep it so that if we ever decided we need a break we can just head up to the house and we’re planning on using it in the future so they agreed with it when they realised that I wasn’t moving out.

“What is it like?” Maria asked and Liz pulled out the pictures from her bag and handed them over to Maria, Maria gasped when she saw the
house. “It’s gorgeous!” Maria exclaimed and Liz laughed.

“Tell me about it, I just fell in love with it when I saw it, the showers has 3 shower heads,” Liz pointed out and Maria picked up on it.

“Showers?” she asked and Liz nodded.

“More than one, all the bedroom has a bathroom with a shower, a sink and a toilet, the master bedroom has a deep big bath that can be used as a hot tub as well,” Liz admitted and Maria groaned.

“You are taking me out there to see it,” Maria told her and Liz grinned.

“Just where did you get the money to buy it?” Tess asked.

“Liz and I combined our bank account, we both got jobs, I got a job at a lawyer’s firm, considering my dad works as a lawyer, they were impressed that they kept promoting me, in fact they even offer me a job to take after college if I want it,” Max explained.

“I got a job at a restaurant being a waitress, the manager took a break and promoted me to manager the restaurant and he was so impressed he gave me a raise and told me that I had a firm career in being a manager if I wanted to,” Liz explained. “With our combined money from working, we had nearly enough, we took some money from our bank and used that to fill in and paid for the house, we still have more than enough for college though,” Liz promised her friends, seeing their worried look that she wouldn’t be able to pay for college.

“Wow,” Alex stated and Liz nodded.

“But it’s better living here,” she admitted, causing grin from her friends.

“So, what are you going to do now?” Tess asked and Max shrugged.

“Get our stuff ready for school and keep a low profile if we can,” Max told them.

“What about our destiny?” Tess protested and Max shook his head.

“We have to keep up the pretence that we’re normal teenagers,” Max told them as he slipped his arm around Liz’s waist. “We can’t alert anyone that there’s something wrong,” he explained.

“No problem,” Maria agreed, nodding and Alex nodded in agreement too.

“I’m with you guys,” he told and Liz smiled her thanks.

“We’ve got to go, we need to go and see the sheriff Valenti about us being back in Roswell,” Max told them.

“Oh, Liz, Kyle is at football camp, we’ll need to talk to him about the ‘incident’ when he comes back,” Maria warned her and Liz nodded.

“No problem, let me know when we can meet up with him,” she replied as she and Max slipped out of the Crashdown and walked down the streets of Roswell.

Maria turned to Alex. “I need your help in picking out an outfit for my date tonight,” Maria told him as she grabbed his wrist and dragged him out of the Crashdown, ignoring Alex’s pleadings not to this to him.

Isabel turned to Michael with a determined glint in her dark eyes.

“We have to get Max to follow destiny,” Isabel told them and Tess nodded in agreement, causing Michael to sigh.

“I’ll talk to him,” he promised, satisfying the girls.


Sheriff Jim Valenti was sitting behind his desk, going over some paperwork when there was a knock at his office’s door.

“Yeah?” he called out and looked up when he heard the door opened, he stood up when he saw Max Evans and Liz Parker step in after being missing for almost three months.

“Hey Mr. Valenti,” Liz greeted with a bright smile, causing Jim to smile back.

“When did you get back in Roswell?” he asked as he hugged Liz and shook Max’s hand.

“Just a few hours ago, we saw our parents then our friends then made our way over here to see how you were getting on with the whole ‘I know an alien’ thing,” Max explained as he sat on the chair and Liz sat on his lap as Jim sat back in his chair, he raised an eyebrow at their closeness but dismissed it, he saw how close the two of them were after they rescued Max from the F.B.I and wasn’t going to deny them this.

“I’m fine, it helps that Isabel, Tess and Michael had been around me, Maria and Alex explained to me what you guys really were,” Jim explained and Max nodded. “Where did you two go?”

“After we jumped into the river, we sought shelter in an overturned bus, we felt it was too dangerous to go back to Roswell so we decided to leave,” Max explained.

“We just drove about, staying in motels, trying to decide if we should leave for good or come back,” Liz finished.

“So, I assume that you’ve decided to stay in Roswell, considering you’re here?” Jim asked and Liz nodded.

“Liz didn’t want to leave her family, Maria and Alex,” Max explained and Jim nodded. “So, what happened since we’ve been gone?” Max asked and Jim sighed as he looked at them both.

“A lot, Michael, Tess and Isabel seem to have changed,” Jim told them and Max looked at him, confused.

“How do you mean?” Max asked and Jim shook his head.

“I can’t describe it. It’s like they are fully embracing their alien side. Alex and Maria have had a run in with them and let me tell you, they keep winning,” Jim told them and Liz smiled slightly.

“They try and not let anyone get to them,” Liz explained and he nodded.

“Naesco is doing well at the FBI base, he has been looking over any files that Pierce has found and been destroying them,” Jim told them.

“Good, hopefully he will be able to shut down the Special unit and we can get on with our lives,” Max stated and Jim nodded.

“How do you think Kyle is dealing with the whole incident in May?” Liz asked and Jim sighed.

“He was pretty quiet before he left,” he admitted and Liz nodded.

“It’s understandable, being on the brink of death is a pretty disconcerting place to be, and add in the fact that you were healed by someone you thought you knew, it tends to throw people for a loop,” Liz explained. “Has he said anything about when he would be coming back?” she asked. “Maria and I want to talk to him about the whole thing and explain it to him.”

“He said he will be back just before school starts,” Jim explained and Liz nodded.

“Okay,” she looked at Max. “Maybe you should come as well,” she suggested and Max winced.

“I don’t think so, Kyle is pretty sore at me for me and you dating, I don’t want to annoy him anymore,” he explained and she nodded.

“Okay, Maria and I have will have a word with him when he gets back,” she stated and turned to Jim. “Are you okay with everything?” she asked and Jim nodded.

“Yeah, just a little nerving to realise that my dad was right this whole time,” he explained and Liz nodded.

“Yeah,” she agreed.

“Well, that’s everything,” Max stated as he helped Liz off his lap before standing up himself. Jim stood up and they both shook hands. “Thanks for helping me in May,” Max told him and he waved it away.

“Like I said to Michael, if I was in trouble, I would like to know that there were people out there to help him,” Jim told them and they both left and headed back over to the Crashdown.


They stepped in when Liz stopped when a familiar figure stepped into her view, her mouth dropped open from the shock as her eyes widen.

“James?” Liz asked and James smirked.

“Hey little coz,” James teased and Liz let out a laugh as she ran up and hugged him.

“I can’t believe you are here!” she exclaimed and James laughed.

“Tell me about it, how are you?” James asked and Liz shook her head

“I think my brain has just gone into overload,” Liz admitted and he laughed as he hugged her once more.

Max smiled as he sat down at the counter and ordered a cherry coke as Michael turned to him.

“Are you not upset?” Michael demanded and Max turned to face him with a puzzled look on his face.

“They’re cousins, Liz has told me about him when we first got together,” Max explained and Michael rolled his eyes.

“Maxwell, if he hangs out with us, he’s gonna find out the truth,” Michael explained and Alex smirked.

“You mean, if he hangs out with Maria, he gonna make her forget all about you?” Alex asked and Max turned to him.

“What are you talking about?” Max asked and Alex turned to him.

“James and Maria have been getting pretty cosy lately,” Alex informed and Max smiled as he shook his head.

“Why are you smiling?” Michael snapped as Liz walked back over, James and Maria had just left for their date, one that Liz was surprised but
happy about.

“What’s going on?” Liz asked as she stepped in between Max’s legs.

“Michael is jealous about Maria and James,” Max explained and Liz looked at Michael, confused.

“If he hangs out with us, he’ll know the truth,” Michael stated and Liz smiled.

“No he won’t, he’s not going to be hanging out with us that much, he does have his own friends here, you know, beside, the only person he is interested is hanging out with Maria,” She stated with a smile.

“Are you happy about that?” Michael demanded and Liz looked at Michael then understanding dawned on her.

“Oh, so you are saying that you can break up with Maria and move on but she can’t do the same?” Liz demanded and everyone looked at Liz. “I know you are dating Tess Michael, so don’t you sit there and accuse Maria of cheating on you, you broke up with her in the first place, you accept the consequence that Maria is no longer going to sit around and wait for you,” Liz informed before looking at Max and walking out of the Crashdown, up to the apartment.

“You’re going out with Tess?” Alex and Max asked Michael and Michael scratched his eyebrow.

“I’m just following Destiny like we were suppose to do in the first place!” Michael snapped before leaving the Crashdown.

Max turned to Alex.

“We go away for three months and everyone changes the world in front of us!” Max exclaimed and Alex laughed.

“Tell me about it!” Alex agreed and Max shook his head.

“Hey, what’s up with the new girl?” Max asked and Alex smiled.

“Her name is Sarah Johnson, she is the new girl who arrived over the summer,” Alex told her and Max smirked at him.

“Come on, spill,” Max told him and Alex looked at him, shocked, and Max laughed. “Hey, my girlfriend is your best friend, once she finds out that you have a new girlfriend you can bet she will me asking me questions so give me all the details,” Max informed and Alex laughed.

“She just moved to Roswell and she is coming to School with us, she’s funny, she makes me laugh and to be honest, I have never felt the way before, not even with your sister,” Alex admitted and Max smiled.

“Hey, I’m not going to get all offended, Isabel obviously had done something that made you go after Sarah, I’m not going to base any judgement till I get all the details,” Max promised and Alex nodded.

“Hey, over the summer, Maria and I agreed, we want to get to know you better,” Alex told him and Max looked at him. “Hey, you’re dating our best friend and you saved her life, it’s only fair that we get to know you and introduced you into our club,” Alex teased and Max laughed.

“Thanks, I would like that,” Max told him and Alex nodded.

“Good, now let me fill you in all the things you have to do when you have a girl best friend, the upside of it, you know how a girl works and they train you so you can be the best boyfriend,” Alex stated with a cheeky grin and Max shook his head. “Girls loves ice cream, especially our girls, and they love to have night in, so if you are planning on spending a night with us, a mixture of movies is a good thing to bring, they’ll love you,” Alex promised and Max smirked.

“Liz already loves me,” Max stated and Alex laughed.

“And don’t I already know that,” Alex stated, Max just grinned. Michael came back in and made his way over to Max.

“We need to talk,” Michael told him and Max sighed as he nodded.

“Okay, catch you later Alex,” Max told him and Alex waved as he left the Crashdown to see Sarah and Michael took his seat beside Max. “Well?” Max asked and Michael took a deep breath.

“I just wanted to let you know that I don’t mean to step on your toes,” Michael told him and Max looked at him, confused.

“What are you talking about?” Max asked.

“About Tess,” Michael explained. “It just happened over the summer, we were attracted to each other and I just wanted to make sure that there is no hard feelings between us considering you’re suppose to be with her,” Michael explained and Max scoffed.

“Trust me Michael, Tess can date anyone. I don’t even care who she dates. I’m with Liz and it’s staying that way,” Max explained and Michael blew out a frustrated breath.

“Max, you were attracted to her when she first came here and you kissed her. If you hadn’t left with Liz over the summer, I have no doubts you would have gotten together with Tess,” Michael stated and Max stood up.

“Stop right there,” Max hissed, his eyes flaring with anger. “I love Liz and only Liz. Tess made me attracted her to her okay? She used her damn mind games on me and there is no way in hell I’m letting some fifty year old message from a planet that probably doesn’t exist any more tell me how I’m suppose to live my life,” Max informed him. “Now if you excuse me, I need to go and see if my girlfriend would like to have a date with me tonight,” Max told him before walking away, shaking his head.

Michael just sat there and watched as his friend walked away before moving over to the booth where Tess and Isabel were sitting.

“He’s not following his destiny, he’s pretty adamant in staying with Liz,” Michael told him and Isabel blew out a frustrated breath.

“We need to change his mind,” she stated and nodded as a glint appeared in her eyes. “I’ll talk to Max tonight and maybe do a little dream walking,” she told them and Michael nodded. Tess just sat back and watched them,
smiling inwardly.


Max came from his house and was waiting at the bottom of the steps in the backroom of the Crashdown; he wore his white shirt and black jeans with his boots as he waited for his girlfriend to come down the stairs. He heard a noise behind him.

“Ready?” Max asked as he turned to see Liz walking down the stairs, wearing a white silk floor length skirt and her red halter-top and her red sandals.

“Yep,” Liz told him as she took in his green shirt and black jeans.

“Nice,” Max approved, wondering how long it would take to remove her top, causing an eyebrow raise from Liz as her dark eyes sparkled with amusement as she listened in on his thoughts. Max cleared his throat and got his thoughts under control. “Okay, shall we go?” Max asked and Liz nodded as she linked hands with Max, letting him led out.

As they past the gang, Liz waved to them before stepping through the door that Max held opened.


“So, what’s the deal between you and Michael?” James asked and Maria rolled her eyes.

“We used to date but it fizzled out,” she explained.

“So, he going out with Tess?” he asked and she nodded.

“Yes, which is funny, because when Tess came to Roswell, she wanted Max and tried to cause trouble between Max and Liz,” Maria explained and James looked at her, startled.

“But she didn’t?” James asked and Maria shook her head, causing James to relax in his seat with a nod. “Good.” Maria eyed him with amusement.

“You looked like you wanted to go and knock Max’s head off,” Maria teased and James laughed.

“Liz is like a sister to me. We’ve been close since she was born as she’s the youngest one of the family,” James explained and Liz nodded.

“You should join forces with Max, he tries his hardest to protect Liz,” she explained and smiled at his confused look. “Whenever Max has a problem, he prefers to shoulder it instead of pressuring Liz with it. She usually gives him hell for that,” she teased and James laughed.

“Hey, I’m the one who taught her the right hook,” James stated and Maria laughed.

“I know a guy who has been on the receiving end of it once,” Maria stated and James grinned.

“Who was it?” he asked.

“Kyle,” she told him and his frown furrowed in confusion. “Kyle Valenti, the one who Liz dated just before she came up for the summer? The one who she broke up just before Grandma died?” he asked and she nodded.

“The same one, Kyle got drunk and a little frisky, he wouldn’t take no for an answer and wanted to go past first base so Liz knocked him out,” Maria explained and James shook his head.

“Hold me back if I see him because I’m more liable to do more than knock him out,” he warned and she nodded.

“Alex was the same, but Liz forgave him because he was totally drunk and didn’t have any recollection of what happened the night before. Not sure if it was due to the alcohol or Liz’s right hook,” Maria stated and James grinned. “So, tell me about yourself,” Maria stated.

“Well, I have two older brother, Dean and Sam*,” James told her. “Dean is a lawyer and Sam is still in med school training to be a doctor.”

“Must be nice,” she told him and he nodded.

“Yeah, my mother, she can be a little scary when you get in her bad books but she is loyal to her family.”

“My mom is the same, one time, Michael had a argument with his foster father, he stayed over at my house. The next morning my mom came in and whacked him with a rolled up newspaper,” she told him and James choked on his drink as he tried to swallow and laugh at the same time.

“I can see my mom doing that,” he told her and shook his head. “Dad is a little more mellow though, when he heard I was coming to Roswell, he told me to have fun and use protection,” he told her and she looked at him.

“Sleep around much, do you?” Maria teased and James laughed.

“No,” James promised. “Dad does that all the time,” he explained and shakes his head. “It’s his way of telling me that anything I do is alright as long as I take responsibilities for my actions,” he told her and she nodded.

“Good advice, my mother wants to put me in a chastity belt,” she told him and James raised an eyebrow.

“Don’t suppose you could sneak me the key?” he asked and she laughed as she pushed at his shoulder before turning back to her food. James just watched her; he loved how her eyes sparkled with happiness and laugher. How the candlelight made her hair shine like a halo. He has never met anyone like Maria before and had a feeling that he wouldn’t.

“What?” Maria asked when she caught him looking at her and James snapped out of his daze.

“Nothing, just admiring how gorgeous you look,” he told her and she blushed as she smiled at him. He grinned back before turning back to his food and they ate in comfortable silence.


“Hm,” Liz moaned as she rested her head on Max’s shoulder. Max kissed her forehead. “Thanks for bringing us back here,” Liz told him and Max smiled down at her.

They both sat in a small private corner booth together in Senior Chow for their date.

“No problem,” Max told before leaning down to kiss her.

“Hm, Hm,” they heard someone cough and they both pulled apart to see their waiter placing their food on the table. “Is that all right now or would you like another drink?” he asked.

“That’s all right, thanks,” Max told him. The waiter tipped his head and walked off, leaving the couple alone. “How do you think Maria and James getting on?” Max asked from where he sat on the other side of Liz so he could see her and she smiled as she took a forkful of her food.

“I think they will be doing fine. James is a guy who can take things slow,” she told him and Max raised an eyebrow.

“Why do I get the feeling that you’re talking from experience?” he asked and Liz blushed slightly.

“When I dated Kyle, there was one time where he was really drunk, he wouldn’t take no for an answer. He wanted to go past 1st base so I gave him a right hook. Knock him out,” she explained and Max choked on his food. He took some drink before looking at his girlfriend in a stunned shock.

“You never went past 1st base?” he asked and she looked at him, curiously. “It’s just, talking about bases, I kinda got a flash. I remember standing outside your balcony and drawing a heart on your wall. Kyle asked me how far we got. I, stupidly, told him that we saw into each other souls, the way how he defeated told me he thought we went all the way,” he explained with a wince and Liz nodded.

“That’s why he had been acting a little off from me since then, what else?” she asked, she was curious to know what really happened before she had found Max. “He told me that you got to second base,” he told her and she looked at him, gob smack before her eyes lit a fire.

“I’m going to kill him!” she exclaimed and Max reached over and took her head. “I barely got past 1st base with him let alone go there!” she told him and he nodded.

“I know, I think he was trying to make it seem like he got further with you as in comparing us with what you had,” he explained and Liz rolled her eyes.

“Why do men needs to exaggerate everything?” she asked as she took another forkful of her food and Max shot her a wounded look, causing her grin. “Okay, not every men,” she corrected and he grinned as he turned back to his food, both of them enjoying their time together.


Maria and James walked up to the Deluca’s house and Maria stopped at her door and turned to face James. She smiled at him.

“Thanks for the great night,” Maria told James; he just nodded.

“Would you like to go out again?” James and Maria smiled.

“I would love to,” Maria told him and James smiled, he leaned down and brushed his lips over hers, causing her heart to flutter.

“See you later Maria,” he told her with a wink before walking off.

Maria just smiled as she touched her bottom lip with her finger before
letting herself into the house with a dreamy look, unaware that someone was watching her.


James made his way into the Crashdown and smiled when he saw Liz laughing over something Max told her. Liz turned to see James and smiled.

“Hey, how did your date go?” she asked and James nodded.

“It went great, I asked her out again and she agreed,” James told her and Liz nodded, obviously pleased and happy.

“Good, I think you will bring out Maria’s best side,” Liz teased and Max rolled his eyes in amusement as James looked at them puzzled and Liz shook her head. “Inside joke,” she explained. “You’ll see,” she promised.

“Maybe we should double date,” James suggested, causing Max and Liz to look at each other. “Or maybe not?”

“Sorry, the last double date we went on didn’t end very well,” Liz explained. “I’ll talk to Maria and see what she thinks,” she told him and he nodded.

“No prob, I’m going to bed,” He told them and eyed his little cousin with a teasing glint. “Don’t stay up too late,” he teased, causing her to throw her napkin at him while Max laughed and James rushed into the backroom and hurried up the stairs to the apartment.

“You know, I’ve never seen you like this before,” Max told Liz as she turned to face him and she tilted her head. “Carefree and teasing,” he told her and she grinned.

“Funny, I seem to be that every time I’m with you,” she teased him and he laughed.

“Yes you are, but not with other people,” he amended and Liz nodded.

“I think its because James and I are like brothers and sisters. We’re closer in age so we kinda grew up together. It helped that he also loved grandma Claudia as much as I did,” she explained and he reached out and took her hand. She smiled at him. “We’re close, I can tell James anything, except from you know what,” she told him and he nodded. “And I know I won’t be judged like my mother would,” she told him and he nodded in understanding.

“That’s good,” he told her and she smiled.

“What do you think about the whole Tess/Michael thing?” she asked and Max sighed as he sat back in his seat.

“I don’t know Liz, honestly I don’t,” he told her with a shake of his head. “It’s just a little weird for me,” he explained and she nodded.

“I know, it’s just, before we left, Tess was more than willing to go out with you but now we’re back, she’s with Michael,” Liz explained and Max
shrugged.

“Maybe Tess realised that she isn’t interested in me as she thought she was, I mean, Naesco was pretty much pulling her strings about destiny. Maybe me going away just proved to her that she wasn’t into me that much,” Max suggested and Liz sighed.

“I don’t know, my gut instincts is all over the place at the moment,” she told him and he nodded.

“I’m not surprise,” he told her. “We did take a big chance coming back to Roswell, I feel the same,” he told her as they both got up from the booth. Liz just smiled as she moved closer to Max and wrapped her arms around his neck and he leaned down and kissed her hard on the lips as he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her into his body.

“Mm, I want you,” she whispered and Max grinned as he pulled away.

“I want you too but we can’t, your parents,” Max whispered and Liz nodded.

“I know,” she whispered as he leaned back down and kissed her once more, savouring her lips.

They finally pulled away and Liz looked back up at him. “Night,” Liz told him, Max smiled as he bent down and kissed her once more before watching as she made her way into the backroom and headed up to the apartment. Max smiled as he made his way out of the Crashdown, shutting the doors and using his powers to lock it behind him before getting in his jeep and driving off.

Not realising that someone had been watching them all night.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed,

Zanity: You'll probably hate Isabel more in this story, invading Max's dreams? actually, its someone's she has in mind. Nancy will be pretty hard in this story.

roswell3053: How do you think Max would react? Expect some fireworks and some OOC for Max in this chapter.

Timelord31: Not Max's dreams she will be dreamwalking but Max will still lose his temper and expect the humans to jump in to protect Max and Liz's relationship.

Here's the next chapter.

Sorry I didn’t update yesterday, it wasn’t finished!

Chapter 6


Max walked into the house, whistling as he made his way over to the living room, where his parents and Isabel were watching the TV.

“Hey honey, have a good time with Liz tonight?” Diane asked, from where she sat next to her husband.

“Yep,” Max replied. “I’m gonna get a drink, would you like something?” he asked and got shaking heads in reply. He headed into the kitchen and grabbed the carton of orange juice and a glass. He turned around and saw Isabel standing on the other side of the counter. “What do you want?” Max asked.

“For you to drop this ridiculous charade you have with Liz,” Isabel stated and Max shook his head.

“Forget it,” he replied and Isabel blew out a frustrated breath.

“Max, we’ll have our enemies after us, Liz won’t be able to do anything. She just a human being who has nothing to do with us!” Isabel snipped and jumped back when Max slammed his glass onto the counter and saw the anger in his eyes.

“If it wasn’t for Liz, we wouldn’t have answers. I don’t see Tess and Naseco coughing them. Even Pierce gave me more answers than them. Liz is the reason we even knew that there was more of us out there,” Max gritted out. “It’s thanks to Liz I’m even alive!”

“It’s thanks to her you were captured!” Isabel hissed out and took a step back when Max made his way round the round the counter and stood in front of him, barely holding onto his anger.

“No, it’s thanks to Naseco, he took Liz and I wasn’t going to stand by and let her be harmed, now stay the hell out of my life!” Max hissed before stalking off to his room.

Isabel huffed as she headed to her room and grabbed the yearbook. If she couldn’t get through to Max, she’ll get through to the human.


Liz sighed as she turned in her sleep as she fell deeper into her dreams. She smiled slightly when Max appeared in her dreams and leaned down to kiss her when all of a sudden she felt cold washing over her. She opened her eyes to see that Max was gone; she spun around and stopped when she saw Isabel standing there in her PJs.

“What are you doing Isabel?” Liz asked and Isabel shrugged.

“Came to show you the truth,” Isabel told her. “You and Max are not meant to be together and you know it yet you can’t let go of this little fantasy you both having, that you are living in a perfect little world where Max is completely human,” Isabel explained as she waved her hand, showing a image of Max using his powers to save people. “He’s an alien Liz, he would never fit in with this world at all, he needs to be able to use his powers to save us but he won’t be able to while he is with you. It was your fault that he was chased and kidnapped you know,” Isabel whispered as the image changed and Liz found herself lying on the ground with Max hovering over her, healing her. Then it changed to Max lying on the table, strapped down as Pierce held the scalpel over his chest. “He lived a life free of danger then you came along and got yourself shot, forcing Max to save you.”

“NO!” Liz screamed. “Max saved me because he’s Max, it’s a part of him!” Liz shouted.

“Liar!” Isabel snapped. “Max is there for us, not for you, he has a love – Tess.” an image appeared, showing Max and Tess hugging and laughing, both of them had wedding rings on their left hands. Liz closed her eyes as she turned her head. “He is meant to be with Tess, his true equal, one who matches him in everyway.” An image appeared of Tess using her powers to help save Max while Liz stood outside, helpless, unable to do anything that could save Max. “You hold him back from the king he could be, the leader that we need to lead us back home and to defeat our enemies and return to our family, living the life we’re suppose to.” An image of Tess and Max getting married appeared then Tess getting pregnant with Max’s child, both of them, deliriously, happy.

Liz closed her eyes in pain as Isabel twisted the knife once more. “Max and Tess belong together and you know it,” Isabel stated as Liz’s dreams turned to when she caught Max and Tess kissing outside of the Crashdown in the rain. “He loves her but is only with you because he feels he has to as he saved your life. Tess is his true love, they were married in their past lifetime. What are you going to do when Max finally regains all of his memories of how he was in love with Tess in their past life and drop you for his true and only love. His queen,” Isabel stated before dropping out of the dream walk.

She sat up as a self-satisfied smirk curled her lips as she dropped back down on the bed and stared at the ceiling, she was finally going to free Max so Tess can take up her true place by Max as his queen and they could finally free their real family and go home where they belong.


Liz bolted up in bed as she felt the tears come to her eyes. She wasn’t upset, she felt violated that Isabel went into her head and messed it about. She was frustrated that no one seemed to accept her and Max’s relationship and desperately wished that she had gone against her feelings about coming back to Roswell and just moved into their home.

She reached over and picked up the phone, she dialled a number and held the phone to her ear.

/Hello? / A groggy female voice answered.

“Maria,” Liz called and Maria snapped herself awake.

/Liz, what’s wrong? / Maria asked and Liz felt the tears come back again.

“I need someone to speak to,” she sobbed out and Maria nodded.

/Okay, I’m coming right over, / she informed before placing the phone down and got dressed before she snuck out of her window and hurried over to the Jetta.


Maria found herself outside in the alleyway; she looked at the ladder, and eyed it distrustfully before gathering her nerves and made her way up toward the balcony and climbed over the led. She made her way over to the window and looked in, she saw Liz sitting on the middle of the bed and tapped the window lightly.

Liz turned to face her, startled. She got off the bed and moved over to the window and let Maria in. Maria swung herself into Liz’s room and shut the window behind her before leading Liz over to the bed. “What’s wrong?” Maria asked and Liz wiped away the tears.

“Isabel dream walked me,” Liz told her and Maria rocked back in shock.

“What? Why?” Maria demanded and Liz let out a bitter laugh.

“To get Max and I to break up, she not happy about me being a human being and holding Max back from his destiny with Tess, his true and only love,” she quoted the last part and Maria enveloped her best friend in a hug, when Liz’s face was out of view, her eyes harden into murderous rage, she was going to make Isabel regret that she even had the power to dream walk.

“Everything will be okay,” Maria promised as she stroke back Liz’s hair as she grabbed her cell phone, she was going to get some backup.


Isabel made her way into the kitchen with a spring in her step.

“Good morning honey, you look happy,” Diane, stated when she saw her daughter and Isabel smiled brightly as she sat down at the table next to her father.

“It’s because it’s a gorgeous day and I have a feeling that everything is gonna go my way,” Isabel stated as she filled her plate with pancakes. “Where’s Max?” she asked.

“He needed to go and see someone, got a phone call this morning from Alex,” Phillip informed her and Isabel nodded.

“Alex probably needed help moving some computer stuff,” Isabel stated as she grabbed the jug of honey.

“What is going on with you and Alex dear?” Diane asked. “I haven’t seen him about lately.”

“Oh, he’s too busy with the new girl that came to Roswell, he broke up with me to be with her,” Isabel stated as she felt the tears sting the back of her eyes as she thought about Alex moving on so quick after she broke up with him.

“What?” Phillip demanded and Isabel nodded.

“He did, but I’m okay, I know that there is someone else out there for me,” she promised him and he nodded.

“But why on earth is Max is hanging around with Alex after he broke your heart?” Diane asked and Isabel laughed slightly.

“Because Alex is Liz’s best friend and as Max is dating Liz, he has no choice to but to be friends with Alex, plus, he thinks Sarah is better for Alex than me,” Isabel stated and Diane shook her head, she needed to have a word with Max. She had a feeling that she wasn’t getting the whole story from her daughter.

She turned back to the cooker when all of a sudden the backdoor was slammed open, bouncing off the wall from the impact.

Max stormed into the kitchen through the backdoor, causing his parents to look up at him in concern and Isabel to look up, still feeling proud of herself.

“Hey Max,” she greeted but blanched when she saw the murderous rage in his eyes.

“Max?” Diane asked, concern shining in her tone.

“You BITCH!” Max snapped as he lunged at his sister only for Phillip to snap into action and held his son back. “You Selfish Manipulating Bitch!”

“Maxwell Alexander Evans!” Diane snapped as she stood up and watched as her daughter take a step back, fear in her eyes.

“She played with Liz!” Max exclaimed. “She got into Liz’s head and told her that Liz was to break up with me because Tess is my true love!” Max shouted as he fought his father to get at his sister. “I’m going to kill you!” he shouted as he glared at Isabel.

“Isabel, what is he taking about?” Diane asked, Isabel opened her mouth to feign confusion when there was a slam of a door opening and a blonde blur shot it’s way into the kitchen and a fist came out of nowhere, clipping Isabel’s solidly in the eye.

Everyone turned to see James holding his furious girlfriend back.

“I’m going to kill you,” Maria snapped as she fought James’s hold.

“What’s going on here!” Phillip demanded and James noticed that no one was going to speak so he took it upon himself; he wanted answers to what the hell was going on.

“From what I gather, Isabel hasn’t been happy with Max and Liz’s relationship. Isabel called Liz last night and played with her head, saying that Liz isn’t good enough for Max and that Tess is Max’s equal and true love. Apparently she is trying to break up Max and Liz,” James explained and Phillip let go of Max, as he and Diane looked at their daughter in a stunned shock.

“Is this true?” Diane asked, Isabel just hung her head, not saying anything while Max snorted with disgust.

“I’m leaving,” Max told them. “I need to go and make sure Liz is okay after the violation she experienced and that she doesn’t believe Isabel,” Max informed before leaving the house.

“I swear to god Isabel, mess around with Liz again, no one will be able to hold me back,” Maria swore before pulling herself out of James’ lock hold and walked out of the house with James following her.

“Isabel, I’m so ashamed of you,” Diane stated. “I have never seen your brother so happy when he is with Liz and you want to destroy that?” she demanded. “You want to ruin your brother’s happiness?”

“He’s not meant to be with Liz!” Isabel protested and Diane shook her head.

“Isabel, Max is a big boy, he can decide who he wants to be and if he wants to be with Liz, you should respect it!” she told him.

“Even when he loves Tess?” Isabel countered and Phillip pinched the bridge of his nose.

“Isabel, Max had made it very clear that he doesn’t even like Tess, I don’t understand why you keep pressuring this!” he told her. “Max wants to be with Liz and if that’s what he truly wants, you should respect it!” he told her; Isabel opened her mouth to protest when Diane jumped in.

“End of discussion Isabel!” Diane snapped. “Leave your brother alone, if he wants to be with Liz, he’ll be with Liz. No one is forcing him to stay with Liz and I, for one, is happy that your brother has found someone who obviously cares a great deal about him and I will not have you phoning or talking to Liz about breaking up with Max,” she told her. “Now go to your room and think about what you’ve done and I expect you to make an apologies to Liz for violating her like that and to your brother for trying to run his life.” Diane held firm as she watched as Isabel open her mouth to protest but she kept her mouth shut and stalked back to her room while Diane turned to Phillip.

“Is it just me or do you feel there’s more to what’s going on than anyone is telling us?” Phillip asked and Diane shook her head.

“They’ll tell us when they’re ready,” she assured him and he nodded as he sat down at his place at the table and sighed.

“Good morning alright,” he muttered and Diane smothered a smile as she turned back to her cooking, hoping that her son was alright and hasn’t done anything dangerous on the way to see Liz.


Max made his way up to the apartment, he knocked on the door and Jeff answered it, he smiled when he saw him.

“Hey Max, just head into her room, I think she’s watching a film,” Jeff told him and Max nodded.

“Thanks,” he told Jeff before making his way over to Liz’s room, he stepped in and shut the door before turning around to see his girlfriend sitting in the middle of the bed, hugging a pillow. “Oh baby, I’m so sorry,” Max whispered as he crossed the room, sat in front of Liz and pulled her into his lap, holding her close as he cursed his sister for trying to wreak the best thing that ever happened to him.

“Why is she doing this to me?” Liz demanded as she pulled away, Max shook his head.

“I don’t know, she tried to get me to break up with you last night but I didn’t listen, I even told her to stay out of my life. It must have been after that, she dream walked you,” Max told her and she shook her head.

“God, I don’t think I’ve ever felt so violated,” she whispered and Max nodded as he understood, it was how he felt after Tess had used her damn mind warps on him.

“I know,” he whispered as he leaned down and kissed her, she whimpered as she slipped a hand into his dark hair as she kissed him back, her tears mixing in when Max was suddenly hit with a flash. He saw everything that Isabel put her through, all the images and such.

He pulled away from Liz with growl, his anger returning to the boiling point when Liz pulled his head back down and took his lips back into her, this time the images were of him and Liz in bed together, all the fantasies that Liz had thought up about him had Max growling for a completely different reason as desire washed over him as she turned in his body, straddling him.

Max cupped her butt, pulling her in closer when he heard footsteps heading toward the door, they pulled themselves apart when the door opened, revealing Mrs. Parker standing in the door way.

“Your friends are waiting for you down the stairs,” she informed them before shooting Max a look then walking off, Liz turned to Max and he pulled her into a hug.

“It’ll be okay Liz, they won’t come anywhere near you with this stupid notion again,” Max told her as he held her closer to him, stroking back to her hair while Liz held onto him, revelling in his closeness. “Ready?” he asked after a few minutes and he nodded.

“Lets go,” she told him and they both stood up, linked hands and made their way out of the apartment.

Max and Liz made their way down the stairs; they headed into the Crashdown but stopped when they saw Alex, Maria, Tess, Isabel and Michael standing there. Liz’s grip tightened around Max’s hand, causing him to look down at her, he let go of her hand and pulled her in closer to him, wrapping an arm around her waist before turning back to the others.

Maria and Alex nodded, showing their support before moving away from the remaining members of the pod squad and just watched to see what was going to happen.

“I’m telling you right now and right there, if anyone of your go near Liz again with the intention of breaking us up, I will leave Roswell, with Liz, and you will never hear from either one of us again and you can fight the war on your own,” Max promised and held up his hand at the protests. “I’m staying with Liz because I love her and there is nothing or nobody who can stop me.” He left the Crashdown with Liz, not once looking back.


Max and Liz made their way up the pathway of the Evans’ house; Max opened the door and let Liz step through before stepping in himself. They both headed over to the kitchen, Liz sat down at the counter as Max moved about getting a drink for them both.

“Are you okay?” Liz asked and Max turned around to look at her.

“Aren’t I suppose to ask you that?” Max asked and Liz smiled gently as she tilted her head slightly to the side.

“Max, Isabel just invaded my brain, she betrayed you though,” Liz pointed out and Max sighed as he moved around the counter and sat down next to her, handing her the glass of orange juice and reached out to stroke back a lock of her hair.

“I know, which makes it difficult, I don’t know if I can forgive her,” he admitted, Liz leaned over and placed her hands on his thighs.

“Max, she is your sister, she is just looking out for you,” she whispered and Max looked at her.

“At the expense of making you see images that are not going to happen? Blaming you for things that weren’t even your fault?” he asked and Liz sighed as she tilted her head back.

“God Max, I don’t know,” she whispered and he cupped her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes.

“Just tell me you don’t believe anything she said,” he told her and she looked to the side and Max nodded. “See, she’s already getting to you, she planted the seed and all she has to do is wait and let it grow so you’ll push me toward Tess,” Max explained and Diane stepped through, they looked at her and from the look on their face, they could tell that she overheard them.

“I don’t want you to listen to Isabel,” Diane told Liz. “She is just jealous that you have her brother, all those years, she had Max to herself and now that Max has found someone special, she is feeling a little out of the loop,” Diane explained and Max scoffed.

“That’s why she is trying to set me up with Tess?” Max asked and Diane sighed.

“Max, Tess is Isabel’s friend, she wants you to date Tess so in a way, you two are still close,” Diane told him and Max shook his head.

“Still doesn’t give her the right to go about messing with Liz’s head, I don’t complain about who she dates, so she should just butt out of my life,” Max snapped as he stood up. Liz stood up and stood in front of Max, holding his arms, calming him. Max just wrapped his arms around her body and pulled her in, rested his face into the crook of her neck while Diane just watched on with a concerned look.


“He can’t do this!” Isabel snapped, Maria stood up.

“Actually, he can,” Maria informed her and Isabel spun around to face her. “You messed about with Liz, you mess with Max. While you don’t want to believe it, Max is in love with Liz and there is nothing you can do to stop it or even change it,” Maria pointed out. “Just a word of a warning, if you really don’t want to lose Max, I suggest you accept that he wants to be with Liz and not Tess, considering Tess seems to be very happy with Michael,” Maria finished before walking behind the counter, Isabel opened her mouth to shoot back some remark when the door jingled and they saw James and Sarah stepping in.

Isabel watched as Alex’s eyes lit up when he saw Sarah.

“Hey,” Alex greeted and Sarah smiled back.

“Hey,” she whispered as Alex leaned down and kissed her, James just shook his head, amused as he walked past them and smiled when he saw Maria.

“Hey,” he greeted and she smiled.

“Hey,” she greeted. “I had a great time last night,” she told him and he grinned as he rested his elbows on the counter.

“Same here so I was wondering if you would like to go out again tonight?” he asked and Maria winced.

“Sorry, we’re kinda having a end of summer party as we’re heading back to school tomorrow, but we can go on Friday,” she told him and he grinned.

“No problem,” he told her and she smirked.

“And you can come to the party tonight, there’ll be lots of dancing,” she told him and he perked up.

“One on one?” he asked with a wiggle of his eyebrows and she laughed as she pushed at his shoulders before heading into the backroom.

“I’m gonna grab the basket that Liz set up for our picnic,” Alex told Sarah when he pulled away from her and she nodded.

“You’re going on a picnic?” Isabel asked and Alex nodded.

“Yep, we kinda want some time alone together,” Alex told her before heading into the backroom and grabbed the basket, he stopped when he saw Maria standing near the TV, Michael and Isabel also followed in and they watched as Congress Whitaker made her pitch and Naseco, posing as Pierce while Max stepped into the backroom.

“Hey,” he greeted.

“Hey,” Maria greeted. “Where’s Liz?” she asked.

“Upstairs, getting her bag, we’re heading out to go shopping, she wants to get some notepads and stuff for school,” Max explained as he nodded to the TV. “What’s going on?” he asked.

“Congress Whitaker just shut down the Special Unit,” Alex summarised and Max nodded.

“Good, the last thing we need is to have them chasing after us again,” Max told them and they nodded when the door opened once more and Naesco stepped through.

“So, our king does come back,” Naesco, mocked and Max glared at him. “I do trust you are going to follow your destiny,” Naesco told him.

“No, I’m staying with Liz whether you like it or not?” Max told him as Liz made her way down the stairs, she looked at everyone, puzzled.

“Why are we all in here?” she asked.

“Watching T.V,” Maria told her and Liz nodded as her gaze landed on Naesco, she rolled her eyes before moving past him to get to the outer part of the Crashdown.

She smiled when she saw James and Sarah standing there.

“Hey,” she greeted as she hugged James.

“Hey little coz, you feeling better?” he asked and she nodded.

“Yea, I am,” she told him and he nodded.

“That’s good,” he told her and Max came out too.

“Hey, we better get going if you want to make it shopping,” Max told her and she nodded.

“Okay, see you guys later,” she told them with a wave and they exited the Crashdown and made their over to the jeep. Alex came over to Sarah with the basket and the blanket.

“Ready?” he asked and she nodded.

“Lets go,” she told him and they both linked hands as they made their way over to Alex’s car, Maria came out adjusting her headband and she fixed her apron while James just sat at the counter, admiring her.

“I don’t know why you girls always complain about the outfit, I’m loving it,” he told her and she grinned.

“But you like it when other guys love it?” she asked and he frowned.

“Gotcha,” he stated.

“Wanna order?” she asked and he shook his head.

“Only if you can come in a doggy bag, I would to eat you up,” he teased her as he stood up and she giggled.

“Sorry, another time,” she told him with a wink before heading over to open the Crashdown for the customers who were waiting outside and got ready to waitress.


Max and Liz stood outside the Crashdown a little further down where no one could see them.

“So, do you think Alex and Sarah are a good couple?” Max asked and Liz nodded.

“Yeah, she really seems to like him and Alex lights up around her,” she pointed out and Max nodded.

“How about James?” he asked and she grinned.

“Relax about him, he really likes Maria, especially if all the moaning I heard from him room says anything,” she stated and he arched an eyebrow. “He called out Maria’s name, a lot,” she emphasised and shook her head. “I don’t know whether to sock him for thinking of my best friend that early or to hug him for making her happy,” she told him and he laughed.

“My little fiery protector,” he teased and Liz laughed

“I don’t thinks so,” Liz stated and Max grinned as he bent down and kissed her gently on the lips when they heard a cough.

They pulled away and saw a smart looking blonde standing and Liz smiled. “You must be Congress Whitaker?” she got a nod in reply. “I’m Liz Parker.” They shook hands and Liz rested her hand on Max’s stomach. “This is my boyfriend, Max Evans.”

“It’s nice to meet you,” Congress Whitaker told them and Max nodded in reply.

“Nice to meet you too,” Max told her before turning back to Liz. “I gotta go, good luck,” he whispered as he kissed the side of her head and walked over to the U.F.O Centre.

“How about we go to my office and we can have our interview there?” Congress Whitaker suggested and Liz nodded as they both made their way over to the office.


Max was lying on his bed, reading a book when he heard a noise, he turned his head and smiled when he saw Liz standing there, she smiled back as she shut the door behind her, locking it and moving over to the bed.

Max sat up, watching her.

“Well?” Max asked and Liz grinned.

“I got the job,” Liz stated as she straddled Max and he grinned.

“Congratulations,” Max told her and she smiled as she leaned down and rested her mouth near his ear.

“Why don’t you show me?” she asked and Max growled as he slid his hand into her dark hair and brought his mouth down on his. One of his hands pulled itself away from her hair and ran itself down her body till it reached one breast and he cupped it into his hands, causing Liz to gasp and arched herself into him.

Max ran his hands up her Liz’s thighs, pulling her in closer to his body as his hands ran up her body till they reached the green straps of her dress. He pulled them down as he broke away from Liz’s mouth and kissed her neck; trailing their way down her collarbone He flicked his tongue over her pulse, causing Liz to buck her hips into his.

He pulled the top of her dress away from her chest and let it drop around her waist, baring her green bra, which covered her breasts. He lifted up one hand and let it trail down her collarbone till it reached the swell of her breasts.

Liz gasped when she saw the glowing lights trailing after his fingers. “You’re doing it again,” she whispered and Max reached up, kissing her hard as he let both hand slid around her waist and up her back till they reached the back of her bra. He felt around for the clip and pulled away, confused when he didn’t find one and Liz smiled.

“One of my favourite bras,” she told him, huskily as she ran her hands up her front before grabbing the middle of her bra and unclipped it. “Clasp is at the front,” she told him and Max nodded.

“Think that’s one of my favourite too,” Max told her as he peeled the bra away from her body and threw it on the floor before pulling her into another kiss while Liz hands ran their way through his dark hair before they moved down his front and unbuttoned his shirt. She smiled in his kiss when she remembered that it was the same shirt that he wore that night of the orb, the first shirt she had ever opened.

She ran her hands over his bare chest, loving how his muscles contracted under her hands and the hot hard body.

Liz removed his black shirt and threw on the floor as Max pressed their upper bare bodies together as they both grinded together when all of a sudden the phone started ringing.

“Ignore it,” Max moaned out as he took an earlobe into his mouth and tugged on it with his teeth before scraping his teeth down her neck, grazing the sensitive spot but the ringing wouldn’t stop.

Liz groaned as she pulled her mouth away from Max and reached over to his bedside table as Max kissed her neck, she picked up the phone.

“Hello?” she asked.

/Liz? / A female voice asked and Liz groaned.

“Isabel,” she greeted and Max yanked his head away from Liz’s neck and looked at his girlfriend.

/Where’s Max? / Isabel demanded.

“Getting some drinks, is there something you need?” Liz asked and her eyes widen when she got the message, she placed the phone back down and turned back to her worried boyfriend.

“Liz?” he asked and Liz shook her head.

“Michael’s been arrested for murder of the body they found in the desert,” Liz told Max and he looked at her, stunned.


Max and Liz made their way over to the Crashdown and stepped in, they saw Naseco and Mr Valenti standing there.

“Hey, what’s this about Michael being arrested?” Max asked and Mr Valenti sighed.

“A digger went out into the desert, he picked up on the bones and brought them in, Congress Whitaker wants the bones tested. Deputy Hanson found Michael’s pocket-knife near the scene so they arrested him because it seemed likely that he was there, plus add in his track record,” Mr. Valenti stated and Max nodded.

“Okay, so Congress Whitaker would need to examine the bones and Liz spoke up.

“What about the lab?” she asked and everyone looked at her. “There is a lab in Las Crusade, they have this machine that is able to detect how long a bone has been buried for, Mr. Seligman has been going on and on about it just before the summer holiday,” she admitted and blushed under the gaze. “Okay, I guess you can officially say I’m a science geek,” she stated and Max laughed as he kissed her forehead.

“Okay, we could check out there and go from there,” Max told them.

“Maybe you could use your powers to deteriorate the bones,” Liz suggested and he looked down at her. “You know, just age the bones so it was there, make it about 80 years old because there was a nuclear plant about that time,” she informed him and he nodded.

“Sure, Tess, do you think you will be able to mind wrap the people inside?” he asked and she shrugged.

“Depending on how many people they are inside,” she told him and he nodded.

“Okay, lets go and save Michael, again,” he informed before turning to Liz and kissed her gently.

“Come back safe,” she whispered and he nodded.

“I promise.” He kissed her once more before leaving with Tess and Isabel, Liz turned to Maria and Maria grinned.

“Wanna help me get the party started?” she asked and Liz laughed as she and Maria headed into the kitchen.

“I have to go now,” Naesco informed Mr. Valenti and they both left then went in opposite directions.


Max and Isabel hurried over to the building but stopped when they saw the guard sitting there, Isabel sighed.

“Let me deal with this,” she informed him before grabbing a map and she walked over to the guard, who looked up and smiled when he saw Isabel. “Can you help me?” she asked. “I’ve been looking all over the place for the campus but my boyfriend always says that I’m hopeless when it comes to map,” she told him before smiling slightly. “Sorry, I meant my Ex boyfriend,” she admitted and the guard smile.

“Sure, I can help you,” he told her as he stood up and they both moved away from the door.

Max watched as Isabel lured the guy away before hurrying over to the door and slipped in, he pulled out his cell phone and looked around the corner before calling.

/How many? / A female voice asked.

“4,” Max replied.

/You have 3 minutes/ Tess replied and they hung up, Tess closed her eyes and concentrated as Max moved in further, he climbed the ladder to get to the chamber and looked over to the window. He saw Congress Whitaker looking through the window and he smirked when she couldn’t see him before opening the hatch and dropping down in it.

He hurried over to the bones and placed his hands a few inches above it before using his powers as he moved his hands up and down as the machine started up. He sighed with relief when he finished and hurried over to the ladder before climbing out of the hatch, shutting the door and locking it and ran out.

The tech walked over to Congress Whitaker.

“What’s the verdict?” Congress Whitaker asked.

“The bones have been there for about 80 years,” he told her and she
looked at him, shocked.

“But that can’t be!” she exclaimed. “What about the fusion on the ribs?” she asked and the other tech spoke up.

“There was a nuclear plant about 80 years ago, it could be from that,” he admitted and the other tech nodded.

“It makes sense, sorry if you didn’t find what you were looking for,” he told her and she huffed as she turned back to the window, confused.


Michael made his way into the backroom of the Crashdown and he saw Maria pulling the headband off her head while Liz was clearing out her locker.

“What are you doing?” Michael demanded.

“Clearing out my locker, I’m working for Congress Whitaker now,” Liz informed him.

“You’re what?” Michael demanded as Liz sighed as she turned around to face him.

“I’m working for Congress Whitaker, and yes, Max does know and no, he is not happy about it but unlike some people, he actually respects my ability to make my own decision,” she told him before walking off and Maria nodded in agreement.

“And she is getting good at having a backbone,” Maria stated with a smirk before leaving the backroom to join her best friend.


Michael followed them and saw Max and Liz standing close to each other, Isabel was sitting in the corner of the booth with Tess sitting on the other side of Isabel. Alex was sitting at the counter with Maria sitting next to him.

Max looked up when he saw Michael step in and threw the pocketknife at him, causing Michael to grab it.

“Next time, fix the hole in your pocket solider,” Max told him, causing laughers as Liz turned to Maria and Alex.

“No Sarah?” Liz asked and Alex shook his head.

“No, Mrs Johnson and Sarah have night they get together and catch up, because we’re heading back school, Mrs Johnson wants to make sure that
Sarah has everything,” Alex explained and Liz nodded as she turned to Maria.

“James will be here later, he’s running an errand for my mother,” she explained and Maria nodded.

“Sure thing,” Maria told her and the backdoor swung open, causing everyone to look. They saw the new waitress that Jeff had hired to take over for Liz.

“Hey Courtney,” Liz greeted,

“What’s going on?” Courtney asked as she came out.

“Just a small party, you know, end of the summer and back to school,” Maria explained and Courtney nodded.

“I remember those, we used to have them,” Courtney told her and waved as she walked out. “See you later,” she told them.

“Sorry,” Maria told them. “I thought she had already left,” she explained and Liz nodded in agreement.

“So did I,” Liz told them.

“You better start being more careful,” Michael snapped from where he sat, causing glares from both girls.

“Who was that?” Isabel asked.

“Courtney, she is taking over my shifts as I’m not working here anymore,” Liz informed her before turning back to Max and he nodded.

“Okay, I’m gonna head on home,” Max told them and they all nodded as he and Liz moved toward the door. “I’ll see you later,” Max told her as he bent down to kiss her.

Liz wrapped her arms around his neck, as she deepened the kiss. Max wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her in closer. They both broke away, breathing heavily. “I love you,” Max whispered and Liz smiled up at him.

“I love you too,” she told him, they shared a sweet kiss before Max left the Crashdown and Liz turned back to the gang only to blush when she saw them watching.

“Nice show,” Maria teased as Liz moved closer to her, causing Liz to pinch her, causing Maria to yelp in shock. “Liz!” she exclaimed and Liz grinned.

“Don’t tease if you can’t handle the retribution,” Liz warned as she moved over to the CD Player and switched it on, causing Maria to laugh.

Isabel made her way in front of Alex and started dancing, causing Alex to roll eyes his eyes; he had a feeling that he was going to go through hell because he moved on from Isabel quickly.

Maria and Liz danced together, they laughed as they bumped hips before Liz moved over to Alex and pulled him onto the floor and, both, girls
started dancing around him, causing him to laugh as he danced with them.

Isabel just watched as Alex had fun while Michael watched as Maria ignored him while Tess watched Michael, if she didn’t do something soon, everything was going to get ruined.


Max sighed when he dropped himself onto his bed and groaned when a flash came back to him, Liz was in his bed and they almost made love, they would have if it weren’t for the stupid phone call.

He lifted his head when heard a tapping noise, he sighed as he got out of bed and walked over to the window, hoping that it was Liz. He opened the window and Naesco stumbled through and fell to the ground.

“Naesco!” Max exclaimed as he placed his hand on Naesco chest.

“Skins, they’re here!” Naseco gasped out. “Watch out,” he groaned before his eyes rolled up into the back of his head and his head slumped backward.

Max shook Naesco before he felt something wet and he lifted his hand, showing that he had blood over it.
