Max again had troubling dreams. He woke up in a cold sweat with a racing heart. The only thing he could remember was the name Ava. Was he losing his mind? What did the name mean? He felt comfort with the name. Was he somehow recalling his former self’s life? Was Ava special to his former self? He was then filled with udder dread. What if his former self really loved Tess? Was he really destined to be with Tess? No, it wasn’t possible. He only thought of Tess as a sister and friend. He couldn’t imagine ever developing feelings for Tess.
Liz was still the girl of his dreams despite their recent history. He was determined to do whatever it took to find out what she was hiding. He felt her love in the kiss they shared in the Congresswoman’s office. She could say she had moved on, but he didn’t believe her.
What if this was the reason Liz left him? Was she scared that one day he would wake up and decided that he loved Tess? Was that behind her decision to push him away? He needed to talk to Liz today.
<Parker’s Apartment>
Across town, Liz was also waking up after a night with strange dreams. Zan was the only thing she could remember. For some reason she felt comfort by the name. Future Max did tell her she could make her own destiny. Was Zan tied to her future? No matter what, Max would be her only love. She couldn’t imagine another man would make her feel the way Max does.
Her stomach was still aching like the morning of the skins time field. Did it mean the skins would attacked again? Did Max and the pod squad still have other enemies out there waiting to attack again? Was Tess able to eliminate all the skins? Maybe her stomach ache was due to her need to get up the courage to talk to her parents about going to school in Florida. That had to be the reasonable explanation for her feelings.
<Trans Am Wednesday Morning Somewhere in Missouri>
Ava had a fitful sleep. She kept picturing Zan’s death repeatedly. She couldn’t believe that she did not get a premonition warning her. What good was her abilities if she couldn’t protect the man that she loved more than anything? She felt like she had failed him.
She was determined to get Max Evans. She had to warn him. She couldn’t let him suffer the same fate as Zan. She only hoped that he had found his Ava and was bonded to her. It would be the only way to defeat Nicholas if he was once again working with Lonnie.
<Parker’s Apartment>
“Liz, your mom and I need to meet with Grandma Claudia’s attorney in Santa Fe on Friday. We will return on Saturday. Your mom doesn’t get many opportunities to visit her college roommate so we decided to extend our visit. We will be leaving Roswell tomorrow after the lunch crowd. Jose will be managing deliveries in the morning. I know I can count on you to manage the closing. I don’t want you going to the bank so it can be stored in the safe. Jose will make the deposits.”
“Sure dad, I hope you and mom have a good time in Santa Fe. I have a few tests to study for this week.”
Liz was grateful that her parents were going away for the weekend. It would give her more time to think about how to tell them she wanted to go to Florida. Now she just needed to get herself to school and try to avoid Max most of the day.
Liz avoided Max all day. She arranged to take her placement exams for her Florida high school during the classes she shared with Max. Wednesday was her typical day off so she could avoid Max after school.
<Crashdown - After School>
Max sat in Liz’s normal section in the diner. He was hoping by chance she was working today. He really needed to see her. The last few nights he had been troubled by his dreams. Could his past self really have had feelings for Tess? The thought scared him more than anything. Before he could dwell on the name Ava much longer, Maria appeared to take his order.
“Hey Max, What can I get you today.”
“I will take some Saturn Rings and a Men in Black burger with a cherry coke. Have you talked to Liz today?”
“No, she was in the guidance councilor’s office most of the day. She was been very closed off the last few weeks. I told her some prime A gossip yesterday about Pam Troy and she ignored me. And no, I have no clue what is going on with her other than she gets this look in her eyes every time she looks at you like her heart is about to break. You two are miserable without each other. Max, don’t give up her yet. Something is going on but I just don’t know what.”
Maria was going make it her mission to see that her two friends worked out their differences. She didn’t think either would survive without the other.
