"Holy Nuts! I mean, Holy Shit!" Kyle screamed before clamping a hand over his eyes. Max and Liz looked up from their position to see a terrified Kyle and Isabel and the other's laughing.

Max looked at Liz who looked at him, "Um..." Looking back at the gang, "Do you guys mind turning around?"

"Sure..." Maria said laughing trying to hold it in but unable to.

Michael just shook his head, "Scared naked huh?" Michael joked.

"I'm going to have nightmares for a month now." Isabel said shaking her head. "God, you couldn't have the common decency?"

Max looked at an embarrassed Liz and just smiled while pulling up his pants as she pulled on her shirt. Handing her pants to her she slipped them on and pulled on her sneaker's. "You guys can turn around now." Liz said just as Max pulled on his shirt.

"Can you guys help us out of here now?" Max asked as he tied his tennis shoe and pulled his jacket on.

"Hands clean?" Alex asked raising an eyebrow.

Liz glarred at him, "Alex you have three seconds to get us out of here..." Alex pulled her out and then helped Max out next. "Thank you."

"No prob." Alex said smirking.

"Did you guys see Grant?" Max asked getting serious.

Jim shook his head still a little embarrassed from catching the two teens, "We found some of his stuff but it seems he's long gone."

"Let's get out of here just in case he decides to make an appereance." Max said leading Liz out by the small of her back.

"I'd be anxious to..." Tess murmured under her breath.

Maria looked back, "What was that?"

Tess shook her head, "Nothing, nothing at all."

Kyle just laughed shaking his head at the two's antics. "I give it another month." He said to Michael.

"I give it three weeks."

Kyle raised an eyebrow, "Twenty bucks."

"Your on!" Kyle said shaking his hand.

As Max drove Liz home she couldn't help but keep the smile off her face. Although the ride home was filled with silence, she knew that talk wasn't necessary. Even if they wanted to talk they wouldn't be able to hear each other over the wind due to the jeep's speed. Max took a glance over at Liz and smiled before looking back at the road. 'How can I tell her?' He thought to himself. Shaking his head he continued to drive to the Crashdown.

"You think Max will still leave?" Isabel asked Michael from the backseat of the jetta.

Maria suddenly stomped on the brake causing the car to swerve, "WHAT! Max is leaving?"

"Supposedly..." Michael said shrugging. "I don't know anymore now that he and Liz...well you know..."

"So just because they had sex you think he won't leave?" Isabel asked.

"What Liz and Max do is more than sex." Maria commented. "You know that...everything they do is a whole lot more."

Alex nodded, "That's true. But when Max makes up his mind he's pretty set on doing it...."

"If anything...Liz can get him to change it." Maria said.

Isabel leaned back in her seat, "I sure hope your right." She murmured. Michael looked back at her in the rearview mirror to see her worrying.

"Don't worry Iz, I'm sure everything will work out." Everbody looked at him. "What?"

"Thanks." Liz said as they pulled up to the Crashdown. "I mean being trapped wasn't so bad after all...I'm glad it was with you." Liz joked leaning closer.

Max looked down, "Liz..."

"What...you don't regret it do you?" She asked worriedly.

Max shook his head, "No, it's not that. I...I'll always remember tonight as one of the happiest nights of my life Liz...in more ways than you know..."

"My parents are probably asleep..." Liz said leaning in to kiss his neck causing him to moan.

"Liz, wait..." Max said pushing her back. "I need to talk to you."

Liz nodded, "Sorry..."

"Don't be...I really love you and you have no idea how much I want you, but that's just it." He said looking away for a moment. "I told you that what happened tonight wouldn't change anything." Liz looked at him confused, "I would still leave Roswell."

"Max..." She said teary eyed.

Placing a finger at her lips to silence her, "I won't be gone long, I need to know that my family here and the one's I love are truly safe. That my enemies won't be chasing you guys because of me. Look how much pain I've caused you guys...and you."

"It doesn't matter, I don't care, take me with you please!" Liz begged. "I'm not safe without you, we're not safe without you Max, your the king."

Max shook his head, "I'm not leaving tonight, I have to talk to Larek about handing over the throne to Michael." Liz looked at him shocked. "I don't want to be a king. I want to be me....once I know your safe Liz, I'll come back to you, I swear. I'm not asking you to wait..."

Looking up at him, "Please Max, don't leave me."

Part 12

Liz was wrapping a medium size box while Maria and Alex watched her in the back room of the Crashdown, "So um, is that for Max?" Liz just nodded as she tied to the bow.

"What is it?" Alex asked scratching the back of his head.

Liz smiled to herself, "A surprise." She said strating to hum to herself.

"Is he staying?" Maria asked looking at Alex who shrugged.

"Not yet." Liz said before heading out the door.

At the UFO center Max had called Brody about his two weeks notice but was called in to fill out some paper work. He was hoping to talk to Larek sometime this week, but wasn't sure exactly when. "Look Isabel, I told you, I made up my mind, I'm heading out of town as soon as I settle this business with Larek."

"Yeah, but why? Michael doesn't want the throne....you can't give it to him if he doesn't want it." Isabel argued over the phone.

Max switched the cell phone from the right ear to the left ear, "Isabel, I'm not going to argue with you over the phone, we'll talk about it later, alright?"

"Max, this isn't right, just because you feel like we're in danger, you leaving isn't going to make us any safer, do you know how stupid that is, how stupid you sound?" She yelled at him causing him to winch.

"Iz..."

She rolled her eyes, "Don't you Iz me, now I've been patient enough...alright...I tried to keep my cool about you leaving and everything because I thought it was fluke, just one of your mood swings or whatever." Max nodded as he came down the stairs of the UFO Center. "But I'll just say this before hanging up, MAXWELL PHILLIP EVANS, you are a self-righteous, unthoughtless, uncaring, self-centered bastard." She said hanging up. Max starred at the phone.

"Think it will work?" Kyle asked Isabel.

Isabel shrugged, "It better, I just called my brother, the alien king a self centered bastard."

Michael shook his head, "Told you it was a bad idea."

"Well, your plan wasn't working!" Isabel said heading towards Michaels fridge.

"What plan?" Michael asked confused.

Isabel smirked, "Exactly."

Max just shook his head and shoved the phone in his pocket. "Brody you in here?"

Brody peeked his head out, "Hey, Max, be out in a sec." Max nodded and looked around. "Evans, do me a favor?" Brody yelled, "Could you fix that damn weather ballon?"

Max looked at it, "Yeah no prob."

"Thanks." He called out. "I haven't had the chance to get to it..."

"Computer, run abduction simulation 1.5." Brody said to the computer causing it to make scanning noises and screens to pop up. 'All right, I was home, minding my own business. Suddenly I’m gone for three days. Where did I go?' He thought to himself. "Computer, run simulation 1.6." He said. 'Yes, something like this. I remember being in a room like this, but, but this doesn’t look very alien, more like a warehouse. And there were other people here. Humans. Computer, add human forms to program, 3 male, 3 female. Yes, I was here, doing something. I was talking! If I could just remember what I was-'

The computer made a noise, "Override, continue simulation." 'Yes, I was sitting here. And to my left I remember a boy. Nicolas! And at the end of the table was-' "Oh, my god, Max! How could Max be in… " Brody asked himself in realization and confusion but is cut off by bolt of electricity causing him to moan, all the lights go out, and he falls on the floor, unconscious.

Max looks around, "Brody?" No answer. "Damn Brody." He mumbles. He walks to the fuse box to try and figure out what's wrong.

"Its not going to work, the lights are out all over. Even down the street...appearently there's this major blackout." Liz said coming down the stairs.

Max looks up, "What are you doing here?"

"I gotcha' something...here." She said handing him the present. Max looks at her, "Just open it."

"You...okay." He said when she raises an eyebrow. Tearing the paper off along with the bow, "Oh..."

"I know, um it's...well...if you really don't want it then I'll take it back, but I wanted to give you something to remember me by...you know if your leaving town and everything."

"Liz, when I gave you this back, I was so hurt..." He said holding the pocket knife. "I just couldn't bare the thought of you being with anyone else so, I had to get rid of anything that would remind me of you...."

"I understand." She said nodding. "I can take..."

Max shook his head, "No...I wa..."

Before he could continue he was interrupted, "WHY DID YOU LIE TO ME?" Brody yelled as he held the gun to the both of them.

Max turned around to see Brody placing himself in front of Liz, "Brody, what are you talking about?"

"You're alien's aren't you?" He said wailing the gun around.

Liz shook her head, "No, your crazy."

"CRAZY? I'm crazy?" He yelled, "New York City. We were all there. You and some blonde chick and me. We were there with the other aliens." He said looking at Max.

"Larek?" Max asked him.

"Max!" Liz hissed at him.

Looking at Max, "I know that name, that name it's alien isn't it? That makes you an alien." He said stepping closer. "You come here, now!" Gesturing to Liz.

"NO!" Max yelled. "Leave her out of this."

"I said now!" Liz placed a hand on Max's arm and nodded. Stepping out from behind Max, "Brody, just put the gun down. Max isn't an alien and neither am I. You just dreamed everything up. Aliens don't exist."

Brody gets annoyed and fires causing Max to push Liz out of the way and put up his force field. The bullet is caught and redirected into a picture causing the glass to shatter and the picture to fall off the wall, "Then how the hell do you explain that?" Max looks around to see an uncounious Liz on the ground and to see a shaking Brody now who is wide eyed and confused.

Liz slowly stirred from her slumber or more like her unconcious state. She tried to move her arms but soon realized that they were tied. Looking around she saw that she was tied to a chair, "Liz?"

"Max? Wha...What's going on?" She said groggily.

Max looked upset, "It was my fault...I tried to push you out of the way, but you ended up hitting your head on one of the exhibits." Max motioned with his head. Liz noticed that his legs and arms were taped but unlike her he was sitting on the floor, "Liz, Brody is really confused right now..."

"Gee, ya' think?" Liz said sarcastically she looked at him apologetically. "It's not your fault that this happened Max...okay..."

Max ignored her, "He has some memories of being Larek...I don't know how it's possible, but he remember's most of the time being him."

"I don't get it..."

"There's more..." Max said looking away from him, "But erm, I'm not exactly sure how to tell you this."

"What?"

Just then Brody came out with a phone, leaning down to untie Max's hands, "Call your alien buddies."

"What?" Max asked confused and worried.

"I said call your friends. The blonde, your sister and the one that broke in here. I remember them....there the others, aren't they?"

"Your wrong Brody...you must have dreamt this stuff up." He tried to convience Brody.

He smirked, "Nice try Evans....now call them or I kill the girl." He said pointing the gun to Liz.

Liz shook her head, "Don't..."

"Hello?" Tess answered. "Max is that you?" She looked over to Kyle, "What do you mean the UFO center is unavailable?" Kyle looked at her confused, "Max, your...do you need any help?"

"What's going on?" Kyle whispered.

Tess shrugged, she covered the end of her cell phone, "I think Max is in trouble." Uncovering the cell, "Max, listen I'm going to go get Isabel and Michael and we're be there in five okay? What do you mean? Hello?" She looked at the phone.

"What happened?" Kyle asked.

"You fool!" Brody said hitting him with the end of the gun.

Liz watched in horror, "MAX!"

"Do you think I'm playing around? That I couldn't understand your little code?" Max looked at him as he spit the blood out of his mouth. "One more screw up and she's dead."

"Brody this isn't you..." Max gritted out harshly.

"Yeah, we'll meet you there." Michael said over the cell. "Come on." He said looking at Maria and Isabel.

"What's going on?" Isabel asked looking strangely at Maria who just shrugged.

"Max is in trouble." Michael said before hopping in the jetta.

Maria paled, "Liz is with Max. She went to see him at the UFO center."

"This is un-freakin-believable." Liz said trying to look around the corner, "I never would of expected Brody to do this, he seemed so nice, but being taken over by an alien every once in awhile can lead you to this..." She tried to joke.

"Liz..."

"Sorry not a good time to joke." She looked down. "What do you thinks going to happen?"

Max looked up at her, "He's got something to block my powers, I don't know how, but, hopefully Tess won't come here."

"Hopefully..." Liz mumbled, "She probably wouldn't come if it weren't for you."

"Liz there's something...wait, what do you mean by that?" Max asked confused.

Liz shook her head, "Oh come on Max, you know she can't stand me, she hates my guts becuase of us." She said looking at him. For once she felt good about herself, she was finally speaking her mind, and when, being held hostage, maybe it was the adrenaline or the thought of dying, who knew? "She can't stand the thought that you might not ever be with her. No, matter how nice I am to her, she always she treats me like a piece of trash."

"That's not true." He tried to deny.

Liz laughed, "Yes, it is and you know what else? If you weren't here with me and I called her for help she would leave me here to die." Liz thought a moment, "But because she knew you wouldn't forgive her she would probably come and save me because it would put her in your good graces."

Max shook his head, "Liz, can we not talk about Tess right now?"

"We never do." She mumbled.

Max thought, "There's something you need to know...something I don't know if you know or not, but I don't think you do...because it's very alien." He swallowed hard, "Erm..."

"Max just spit it out!"

He thought a minute, "I...yo...we're pregnant."

"So what are we going to do?" Tess said coming over to them. Michael looked at the UFO Center.

"This must of been what caused the blackout." Isabel said.

Maria looked at her confused, "What do you mean?"

"Look..." She said pointing up to the sign. There was huge black scroch marks around the sign. "Something happened..."

"Brody must have been doing something on his computer..." Maria said nodding.

Michael looked at her raising an eyebrow, "Just how well, do you know this guy?"

Maria shrugged, "At least he paid attention to me." She snapped back.

"And now he might be holding our friends hostage." Michael snapped at her before heading in with Isabel following.

Maria huffed, "I can't believe this. You have to take everything so personally."

Tess shook her head, "Can we stick to the picture."

"Tell her that!" "Tell him that" Michael and Maria said at the same time pointing at each other.

"Grow up!" Isabel yelled before opening the doors. Brody smiled evily before hiding behind one of the exhibits. "Watch your backs, we don't know wha...ahhh!!!"

"What do you mean I'm pregnant?" Liz asked him confused and shell shocked.

Max looked at her for minute trying to find a way to explain, "When you got knocked out, I was trying to heal you and connected with you."

"Yeah and..." Liz urged him on.

"I saw the baby...when I was done there was this silver handprint moving around your stomach..." Max said looking at her.

Liz's eyes skitted around, "Glowing handprints, moving around on my stomach, me pregnant...Brody holding us prisoner...."

"Liz are you okay?" Max asked worriedly.

"You gotta be shitting me...Brody?" Maria said holding her hands up. "What the hell are you doing?" She yelled. "Would you put the gun down? We're just looking for Max and Liz!"

"Uh, I don't think he cares!" Tess whispered harshly to her.

Brody motioned them down the stairs, "She's right, I don't, now move!"

"What..." Max looked up in time to see Michael, Tess, Maria, and Isabel, coming down the stairs with their hands up. "I thought I told you to stay away."

"Yeah, nice code there, Max." Tess said sarcastically rolling her eyes. Max ignored her.

Michael noticed them tied up, "What's going on?"

"Did anyone ask you hair boy?!?!" Brody said shoving the gun in his head. "Sit down all of you!"

Michael turned to glare at him, "What the hell, where do you fucking get off..."

"I said sit the hell down, before I blow her brains out." He said pointing the gun at Liz's head causing her to look at Max.

"Just do it Michael!" Max said yelling at him.

Michael sat down along with the rest of them, "Can someone please explain to me what's going on?" Isabel asked confused.

"Well, if it will get all of you to shut up..." Brody said as he tried to tape Maria's legs and arms together, "You see, Evan's here has been lying to me."

"About what?" Maria asked looking at Brody.

"About aliens." Brody said looking at her, causing everyone to look at Max, who just looked down, "I know you guys are aliens. I was there when they were at New York, him and that blonde one over there." He said looking at Tess.

"It must have been some dream." Tess said shaking her head.

Brody smiled, "Nice try, they said the same thing...you think I'm going to believe that?" He said coming over to Tess holding the gun to her forehead.

"Brody!" Max yelled which caused Liz to look away. Liz wanted Tess dead, Max could feel it ever since he connected with her, but he couldn't figure out why.

"I don't know, you seem stupid enough!" Tess said glarring at Brody.

"Tess!" Isabel yelled.

"Stupid, huh?" Brody said smirking, "You see that device over there..." Gesturing to the device that was floating in the air. "If you try anything with your powers, your little human friends are good as dead." He said before walking away.

"Nice going Tess, now you just pissed him off even more." Liz mumbled. Maria and Max turned to look at her. Maria wondering when she grew a pair and Max wondering where she got all this hatred from.

Meanwhile Kyle drove over to his dad's office to get him and then called Alex on his cell to tell them what was going on. "Dad!" Jim came around the desk to see what the shouting was about.

"What's going on Kyle?" Jim said ignoring the looks, "Don't worry about it Hanson." Hanson nodded.

"It's erm, it's Tess, she has some wordly homework, that she needs your help on. Something about an interview on at the UFO center." He said trying to do in code but failing miserably.

Jim looked at him but just nodded confused, "Uh-yeah sure, Hanson, I'll be back later okay?"

"Yeah, sure." Hanson said, "Need any help?

"Nah, just one of the kids needing an interview." Jim said in a joking manner. Hanson smiled and waved bye to Kyle. As they walked to the car, "What's the problem?"

"The UFO center, is being held hostage by a crazy Brody. Inside is Liz, Max, Isabel, Michael, Maria, and Tess." Jim looked at him worriedly. "I sort of followed Tess there."

"Son..."

Kyle nodded, "I know it was dangerous, but she wasn't making any sense, I called Alex and told him to meet us at the Crashdown, he's coming over with some survallience stuff."

"Okay, good, lets go then, you can explain on the way." Jim said placing a hand on Kyle's shoulder to lead him to the car.

"Max what the hell is going on here?" Michael yelled to him across the way to where he sat.

Max shrugged, "Brody must have had some electrical surge that caused the blackout and when he did it must have caused him to remember sometimes when he was Larek."

"Bi-passing his memories, well, were screwed!" Isabel said shaking her head. Max ignoring her he just shook his head.

"There has to be some way out of here." Liz said trying not to give up hope.

Tess looked down, "I can try to mindwarp him, bu..."

"Didn't you here him, Tess..." Maria snapped, "The device is stopping you from using your powers and if he catches you trying he'll kill me and Liz."

"She's right, it's too risky." Max said looking at Liz who just looked down.

"She'll try anything isn't that right Tess." Liz said looking up at her. Tess glarred at her.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Tess said glarring right back.

Liz just shook her head, "You can honestly just sit there and look me in the eye and act like you don't know anything?"

"What is she talking about Tess?" Michael asked looking at her.

"She's crazy!" Tess said yelling at them.

Meanwhile, Brody was sitting in the shadows watching them argue. "I'm crazy, then why the hell did I see you and a shape shifter alien talking last night?" Liz accused causing everyone to turn to look at her.

Flashback-

Tess was slowly walking down the alley way when an arm reached out to grab her, ready to fire she turned around, "Quite fiesty."

"Cal, you scared me." She said as she looked away as he shape shifted into somebody else.

"Sorry my dear, have to keep my appearence up." He said smirking. Looking around the Crashdown alley he made sure the coast was clear. "How are things going?"

"Good, they still think were like good buddies." Tess said almost gagging.

He laughed, "And Max..."

"He's leaving Roswell..." Tess said sadly.

Cal watched her facial expressions, "This is what we wanted correct. Is the girl pregnant?"

"I don't know..." Tess said shrugging. "I don't think so, they only did it the night of the virus so..."

"It should only take once to get pregnant." He said smirking shaking his head, "You have so much to learn my little one."

"What about the plan, the whole destiny?" She complained.

"Screw it? Who needs destiny when you can take over a planet?" He said laughing. "Don't worry you'll get your crown and when you do you might even get Max at the snap of your fingers." Tess smiled.

End of Flashback


Max and the other's looked at her, "Is that true? Is there another shape shifter?" Tess looked away, "Answer me!"

"Cal Langely..." Brody said coming out of the shadows, "That would be his name, "Correct?"

"How would you know?" Tess said sneering. "Your nothing but human."

"I'm much more than human." He said before raising his hand in the air and causing a bright light to glow.

"Oh my god..." Maria said nearly passing out with fear. Everyone starred at the shapeshifter that transformed into Cal Langely.

Tess could only stand there speechless, "What are you doing here?" She asked harshly.

Shaking his head, "You don't write, you don't call, I've been worried about you Ava." Cal said starring at the Royal four and the two humans who were tied up. Waving his hand the six were freed.

Looking at their hands, "So your the guy Tess was talking to..." Liz said coming up closer to Maria and the others.

Cal glarred at her, "And you must be the King's little whore." He said earning him a punch from Max. Laughing Cal touched his jaw wipping off the blood, "Touchy..."

"What the hell do you want?" Max asked coming to lean down to his angle. Before he could answer Kyle, Jim, and Alex came rushing in.

"We saw the whole thing...who is this guy?" Alex said in a rush.

Maria raised an eyebrow, "And you say I'm nosey?" Smirking she looked at Alex, "Alex meet Cal, he's been talking to Tess about how to kill us..." She said casually.

"Oh..." Alex said. Thinking about it a minute. "What?!?"

"Everybody shut up!" Isabel shouted. "Look, who exactly are you, all we know is that you are a shape shifter."

"Yes and you may think that you can't trust me and Ava here." He said looking towards Liz, "And your absolutely right!" Tess looked at him in horror and the other's exchanged looks.

"So what's stopping us from killing you right here on the spot?" Michael said leaning against the table.

"Because you want to know who I am and what I'm doing here, especially you Rath." Cal said smiling.

"So start talking." Kyle said looking at him like a bug under microscope.

Getting straight to the point, "Basically there were two ships, one had you, the royal four, and the other had your duplicates." Cal explained. "I was sent on the second ship as the other protector."

"So where've you been all this time?" Jim asked confused.

"Can I finsih?" Cal said rudely.

"Rude much?" Maria mumbled to Liz who just laughed.

"The duplicates are of the royal four, their more alien than human and have no emotions what so ever." Cal slowly explained for them.

"So their your back ups, like if anything happened to you?" Liz asked looking at them. "They look just like you then, you each have one?"

Tess nodded, "Yeah, they live in New York and their nothing like us."

Kyle smiled, "Cool." He said nodding, "But that still doesn't explain where you've been."

Rolling his eyes, "So many question's so little time..." Cal said irratated. "Humans really are annoying."

"I'm sorry what was that?" Maria said getting annoyed. Cal shook his head, "Fine what was with the thing Liz saw."

"Yeah, Liz said she saw you and Tess talking about getting Max to do something..." Isabel said confused.

"A little mindwarp never hurt. I knew she was watching, couldn't let her go off and blow my cover." Cal said looking at his pedicured hand.

"Did you know about this?" Max said looking at Tess.

Cal laughed, "Like I would include Tess in everything I do."

"I said I wanted out with your plans..."

"What plans?" Liz said still not believing her, "You admitted earlier that you knew about Cal and that you had meeting with him in the alley..."

"Like you would have believed me if I said no!" Tess yelled at them.

Alex stepped between them, "We had a right to know, that's all we're trying to say."

Tess nodded, "Your right, your all right, I had no right to lie to you all. I shouldn't have done something like that. I wanted to tell you all that..."

"Ava..." Cal warned.

"No, they deserve to know, especially Max and Liz...you don't know what you've put me through Cal...and now the truth is coming out and your going down." Tess said glarring at him. Cal starred right back angrily.

Max and Liz exchanged looks, "What do we deserve to know?"

Tess looked down as she walked towards them, "I know that you don't trust me and I understand why. I understand that none of you trust me." Tess said looking at the others. "But, what a I say is imperitive."

"We're listening." Max said crossing his arms.

Cal just sat back, "This should be interesting."

"Shut up!" Maria said looking at him pointedly.

Flashback-

Tess swung open the door when she heard the doorbell, "Can I help you?"

"Tess Hardning?" Tess nodded, "Cal Langely, Hollywood Producer, I'm producing a movie called Antar Aliens." Tess starred at him, "Ring a bell?"

"Who are you?" Tess said worriedly.

"Someone you might want to listen too." He said. "Can I come in." Tess nodded and stepped aside.

Flashback-

"So your saying that in order for Antar to stay alive I have...a child by Ma..Zan?" Cal nodded, "Your insane, I stopped on that destiny shit a long time ago."

"You can't didn't your protector explain all this to you." Thinking of Nasedo and how he was always talking to her about destiny, "I can't let you give up on..."

"Max or Zan whatever his name is...he's in love with a human, she's...I may not have liked her in the beginning but I've began to see that love is something I want and I'm not going to have that with Max." Tess explained. "I'm only going to have friendship with him and...I don't want to be anything more to him than that."

Flashback-

"You will be with him!" Cal yelled as he raised his hand, "Or I will kill Liz."Tess shook her head, hearing the door open, "Who is that?"

"Tess you home?"

"Get rid of him!"

Tess glarred at him, "He lives here." Cal shape shifted into Jim.

"Hey dad, Tess, what's going on?" Kyle said coming in.

Flashback

"There's another way." Cal said smiling. Tess looked at him worriedly. "Bring Liz and Max to consumnate their relationship. If they do, Liz will be rightfully known as the queen on Antar and able to bare the heir."

"It's wrong." Tess mumbled.

Cal glarred, "It's either that or death."

"They're not in that type of relationship. Plus even if they did, pregnancy is not hundred percent." Tess said stating a fact.

"Make sure it is...Max cannot leave city." Cal looked back at her, "If he does we'll go through another one of our sessions."

Flashback

"He's leaving...." Tess said worriedly. "Everybody tried to make him stay, but he believes he putting people he loves in danger." She said nervously thinking of the dreams Cal had given her before.

"Leaving?!" Cal yelled. "Of course the little King would want safety for the people he loves..."

"There's more...." Tess said looking down. "They...they made love tonight."

Cal smirked, "Are you sure?" Tess nodded, "Never thought the boy had it in him! She pregnant?" Tess shook her head, "Damnit, he needs to believe she is. It's the only way he'll stay."

Tess shook her head, "No...thats the last straw...I'm not doing it anymore. I've betrayed them enough!"

"Fine." He said nodding walking away.

Tess watched him, "What are you up to?" She said after him.

End of Flashback


"So Liz is pregnant?" Kyle said as everyone looked at her stomach. Liz flinched under the scrutiny.

Cal laughed, "No no no...it was a mindwarp...all a joke...I had to get Max here to believe that she was otherwise ,he would be leaving Roswell." Cal said getting up, "I couldn't have that."

Max glarred at him, "What do you want?"

"What do I want? Oh what do I want?" Cal said tapping his hands together. Looking at Liz, "Her."

"WHAT!" Liz said worriedly and confused.

"Your crazy man." Michael said looking at him as he slowly pushed Maria behind him towards Alex, Jim, and Kyle. Isabel and Tess looked at Max and Liz who were in one area and Michael who was alone in another section. Tess motioned to Max that she was going to head behind and Isabel was going the other way. Max nodded and motioned he was going to keep him distracted up front.

"You think that's right Rath." Michael looked at Max. Max pushed Liz behind him and as the royal four got ready to fight.

Cal first fired at the exhibit above Kyle, Jim Maria, and Alex. "No!' Max screamed as he jumped in front of them. He pushed Liz to Michael and threw up a shield around the the others causing the blast to deflect back. Jim and the others looked back up to see a green shield around them.

"GET OUT OF HERE!" Max yelled behind him looking at Cal while holding his shield up. Maria held Michael's gaze before being pulled out by Alex.

"We gotta get Liz out of here." Max said yelling to Michael who nodded. Liz looked up at him, "When I count to three you stairs." Max said as he held up the shield around him, Michael and Liz. He looked for Isabel and Tess and saw that Tess was mindwarping Cal to believe that they were unconcious.

"I'm not leaving you..."

"There's no time to..." Before he could finish Cal through a shot at an exhibit above them. Max didn't have time to react nor did Michael and Liz. The crash caused Tess to break the mindwarp to come over to help the others.

"Michael! Max!" Isabel yelled looking through the debris with the help of Tess.

Michael looked up through the dust, "Max?"

"Oh thank god." The electricty was on the blitz, "Are you okay?" Michael nodded.

"Where's Max and Liz?" Tess asked concerned.

"Hey over here..." Max said, "Where's Liz?"

"Looking for her?" Cal said holding her around the neck. Everyone swung around to see Cal and Liz.

"Let her go!" Max said angrily. "This isn't about her." Seeing the tears run down her face caused his heart to break.

Cal laughed, "Isn't it about her?" Tess slowly walked around Max and the others, "You think you can have everything Zan? A mistress, a queen, a heir, anything at the snap of your fingers...you know your ruined my life!"

"I'm not that person any more!" Max said accusingly upset. "Just let her go. And I might let you live with a few permanent damges..." He threatened.

Cal laughed, "You think you have enough power to bring me down?"

"With the royal four I know I do!" Max said looking at a tear streaked Liz. "Just let her go and I'll give you a head start."

Cal shook his head, "I don't think so." Raising his hand getting ready to fire, "Since she's not pregnant, we really have no use for her and since you are leaving...say goodbye to your little mistress!" He said smiling.

Max looked at Liz, causing Tess to look at Max and Liz from her corner, Max looked at Isabel and Michael. "NO!!!!"

"Lizzie? Liz is that you sweetie?" Nancy called from the kitchen. Liz looked up as she pulled the key from the door.

Slowly coming in to the kitchen she hugged her mom tight, "I love you mom."

"Oh, sweetie, I love you too." Realizing that her daughter was crying, "What's wrong, what happened?"

At Michael's place, Michael and Maria were sitting in complete silence. Michael was trying to console Maria over seeing her first dead body but especially because they realized that Tess was not over all a bad person. "Mar..."

"Just hold me Michael." Maria said leaning against him.

Flashback-

"NO!" Max screamed. Before anyone could move a thick cloud of dust formed due to the blast that Cal threw. Everyone ducked and tried to protect themselves. Max heard Liz's scream and tried to get to her, but with no luck. When he realized it was safe he looked up and saw nothing. No Cal and no Liz. "Liz?!" Max yelled.

"Max!" Isabel called. Max looked over to where the voice came from. "Help me!" Max rushed over to Isabel to see an unconcious Michael, "I think a piece of wood hit his head."

Max placed a hand over his forehead and concentrated within seconds his eyes quickly opened, "I'm gonna kill that bastard." Michael said looking around and slowly getting coughing.

"Get in line." Max said looking around.

Isabel helped Michael get up, "Any sign of Tess or Liz?"

Max shook his head, "No...I saw Tess behind Cal and I don't see Cal or Liz anywhere."

"They gotta still be here." Michael said. "Come on." Max taking the lead headed over to where they last stood. Not expecting to find what they would soon find.

Flashback-

"Oh my god, she saved me." Liz cried into Max's shoulder. Max hugged Liz tightly as he stroked her back. "I...I said these horrible things to her..."

"Liz, it's not your fault do you understand me?" Max said making her look at him.

Liz refused to believe that, "How can you say that!?! Tess is dead because she dropped in front of me...to save me from Cal!"

Max hugged her to his body to reaffrim that she was really there. Looking over to Jim who had come in shook his had. Max had tried to heal her but it was useless. A broken beam had fallen on her back and broken her spinal corde and caused some internal damage.

End of Flashback


Max looked up the balcony's ladder. Hestitating a bit before climbing up he saw her lighting some candles around her balcony. Clearing his throat lightly so not to startle her, "Hey." Liz looked at him before resuming his task.

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be half way out of Roswell by now?" Liz snipped at him.

"We need to talk Liz...about a lot of things..." Max said coming over to stop her from her task.

Flashback-

"Does this mean your leaving?" Isabel asked as they sat in the pod chamber. Max just starred off at the four pods, "You can't just leave Max, can't you see that if you leave we're just as helpless, just as in danger without you?"

"I don't know what to do Isabel..." Max said shaking his head in denial. "You know, when Liz told me about what happened this October all I could think about was what has happened to her because of knowing me."

Isabel just looked at him, "She chose to be a part of this Max..."

"I know..." Max thought a minute, "We hated Tess, we never gave her a chance."

"You can't just change the subject...." Isabel said upset.

Max looked down, "I want to give her a funeral Isabel, a proper one." Isabel looked shocked, "I think that if we gave her the proper chance things would have turned out differently."

She chuckled, "She used us Max, abused our friendship in so many ways...not only that she mindwarped us and your defending her?"

He just shook his head, "I'm not defending her ways...or what she did. I'm upset with her just as much as the next person..."

"Then how can you sit there and say these things...she caused the split up between you and Liz..." She said causing Max to flinch, "You know its true, "If she hadn't come with this destiny stuff, you would still be with Liz."

"When I tried to heal her, I connected with her, saw things..." He admitted looking up at her seeing her shocked face.

End of Flashback


"If you came here to tell me about your past life, I don't think I'm up to it Max." Liz said shaking her head. "Tess may have saved my life and she may have been a...I don't know exactly what I feel towards her, weather it's still hatred or just dislike or..."

"She wanted to tell us about the plans that Nasedo had...she never wanted to go with the whole Destiny idea when she saw how in love we were...."

"That's a bunch of crap..." Liz said laughing. "You saw everything she did..."

Max looked down, "I know, I had to lose you because of it. But I witnessed what Nasedo did to her if she didn't go through witht he plans..."

"What?" Liz said confused. "Why was the destiny so important?"

"Me and Tess needed to be wed in order for Antar to be properly restored, Tess needed to be carrying my heir and then Nasedo would turn the three of us over to our enemy Khivar." She looked down. "When Tess found out she turned Nasedo down and said she would never help him..."

"Why did she help him then...you saw it yourself Max, she did..." Liz pointed out.

Max nodded, "Your right she did...I won't deny that." He took a deep breath before continuing, "Appereantly she had met this guy before coming to Roswell. He knew about it and threatened to kill him if she didn't continue with the plan he had setup." Shaking his head at how he trusted Nasedo and how he didn't see how evil he really was, "Every time Tess would falter he would rape her."

"Your serious aren't you." Max looked up at her. "Oh my god...why didn't Tess just tell one of you guys, you guys could have helped her."

Max stood up running a hand through his hair, "I don't know would he have believed her Liz?" Liz stood up coming to stand next to him, "She was a stranger and when we found out what she was we already didn't trust her...hell we didn't trust her in the beginning..."

"Max, I don't know any more...honestly we'll never know now. I can't say that I like Tess just because she saved my life and now that I know that she was only doing this because she had too..." Liz admitted, "That may make me a horrible person, but she still took the one thing away that I loved the most."

He shook his head, "It doesn't make you a horrible person...and she never took me away from you Liz. I could only love you Liz, no one else."

Stroking her arm up and down as they laid in Liz's bed together, "Max, why do you think Tess saved me?" She said playing with a button on his shirt.

"She knew how much we loved each other...Tess knew that..." Max said kissing the top of her head.

Liz looked up at him, "You said something earlier, something that's got me thinking..."

"What?" He said turning over on his side to look at her. "Talk to me Liz?"

Liz started to say something but stopped, "Max, you asked me if we would have believed Tess if she came to us..." Max nodded, "And to be honest, I think in some way we would have...eventually."

Max looked down, "I don't know Liz...even though she became a close friend of mine over the last two months, I just don't know now..."

Liz thought about how they did hang out due to the Kyle thing, "How do you feel about her right now Max?"

"I feel hurt that she lied to me, I thought we had started a friendship...I feel angry that I trusted her, let her in, I should have seen through her..." Max thought a moment, "But she had it rough Liz, with Nasedo, I think in a way she didn't know any better."

"That's why I'm saying I think we would have believed her if she had just come to us instead of lying to us." Stopping to gather her thoughts, "I feel in some way that I still...maybe hate is to strong of word..." Max smirked, "I still strongly dislike her....but seeing how she has changed and hearing that she has lived with a killer..."

"It's changed your perspective..." Max nodded along with Liz.

"But Max, I...she really did care about you..." She said biting her lip. "I know that we had our feuds but she was still part of our group..."

"It's hard Liz, I know..." Max said stroking her cheek with his thumb, "But as long as we stick together, we can get through anything together."

"What do you mean stick together?" She said upset. Max looked at her a minute, "Max...I..." Silencing her with a kiss he framed her face with his hands. The kiss was filled with emotion, grief, union, and hope.

At the quarry everyone starred at each other with silent starres. The tension was thick, no one knew where to start. Max had called saying to meet at the quarry, somewhere old and somewhere with new beginnings. Michael held Maria as they leaned against a rock. Alex starred off into the sky as Isabel leaned against the black SUV. Kyle sat on a rock next to his dad unemotional looking nowhere. His dad tried to talk to him but with no luck. Seeing Max and Liz drive up startled everyone out of their stupor.

"What's this about Maxwell?" Michael asked as Maria held on tighter to Michael. "Now's not the time for meetings."

Liz looked at Maria who managed a weak smiled, "I found something's out about Tess."

"Isabel told us." Michael said, "She filled us in before you got here...."

"It doesn't change the fact that she lied to us Max." Alex said throwing a rock into the open air. "What does it matter? The only thing I have to thank her for is for saving my best friend."

Liz looked down sadly, "I...we decided to give her a proper burial..."

"WHAT!" Maria yelled finally out of Michael's arms. "Do you know how much she's hurt us? She might not even be dead, how do we know it's not a mindwarp or something?" She said crying.

"Maria, it's okay..." Michael said trying to comfort her. "Maria's right. She doesn't deserve it."

Jim looked around, "Why not?"

"I agree." Kyle said looking around, "She was one of you, she was raised differently and didn't know how else to survive...if I were in her shoes...I don't know what I would have done." Kyle said silently mumbling.

"Jim?" Max asked looking at him.

Jim looked at the others, "Tess was like a daughter that I never had, she deserves a proper burial, she's still a person with feelings even if she lied and hurt us..."

"Okay, that's four votes. Isabel?" Max asked looking at her. Isabel looked at Alex, Michael and Maria.

She shook her head, "I was the first to befriend her....she could have told me the truth."

"And we would have eventually believed her, maybe, we don't know that." Liz said looking at the other four. "Nasedo made her believe that all humans were evil...not to trust anyone...kill anyone who got in your way."

"And she didn't believe him...that is until he started threatening her and raping her." Max said looking down remembering the flashes he had of her horror. Liz squeezed his hand, he looked over and smiled.

Isabel looked at Alex, "She may not deserve it but I'm no saint...."

"Iz..." Alex started to say. Isabel just shook her head, "Your nothing like her."

"But aren't I?" Isabel said. "Michael she was one of us..."

Michael looked down, "Iz...."

"If you were in Tess's position you know very well that Tess wouldn't vote against you." Isabel said looking at them.

"But we didn't decieve people and hurt them..." Maria accussed.

"And you weren't raped and threatend." Kyle yelled at her causing Maria to look away.

"Back off Valenti!" Michael threatened, "Or else I will threaten..."

Jim held Kyle back and Maria held Michael back, "Your right, Tess may not deserve a burial but we're not saints either." Maria said silently. Michael looked at her, "We've done things in our past we regret, nothing as bad as her but, I would want something if I died."

Michael and Alex exchanged looks, "Michael, Alex?" Liz asked.

TBC

A/N: To let you guys know this is no mindwarp on Tess's part or anyone's part. Tess really sacrificed her life. I know I made them seem self-centered and uncaring but this is Tess who lied to them in the past and hurt everyone...and only changed in mere one and half months.

THREE MONTHS LATER-

Max, Liz, Michael and Maria were sitting in a boothe at the Crashdown late one night after closing studying for a chem exam. Max across from Liz, and Michael across from Maria. While Maria and Michael are talking Liz undectedly plays footsy with Max under the table. Max slowly looks up from his book to glare at Liz. "Did you hear?" She asked while moving her foot up higher.

"Hear what?" Maria asked stopping her conversation with Michael. Michael looked over at Max who was flustered.

Coughing to clear his head when he noticed that Michael saw him, "What?" He shrugged acting innocent.

Liz looked at Max before continuing her conversation and more, "There's a full college scholarship being offered to potential podiatry practitioners?"

"Seriously?" Michael asked. Maria and Liz looked at him funny, "What can't I be interested?"

Max laughed, "I think with you studying and now you being interested is kind of...erm, something new to them..." He said sarcastically.

"Very funny." Michael glarred at all of them before looking at his work.

Liz rolled her eyes, "Anyhow, I think I want to keep my business south of the equator, though." She said looking at Max suggestively.

Exchanging a heated look with her, he clears his throat seeing Maria raise an eyebrow, "Couldn't you come a little farther... north? Maybe?" Shrugging and grinning impishly, Liz moves her pointed toes up the inside of Max's thigh, eventually creeping as far north as she could causing Max to jump in his seat, then act like nothing happened.

"Okay, there girlfriend?" Maria says leaning her chin on her hand. Michael just shakes his head. Max glares at Liz's smiling face and gives her a stern look before he goes back to studying. Max moves his hand down to Liz's leg and pinches her ankle causing her to bite the inside of her cheek from laughing.

"You could at least wait to be behind closed doors." Alex said coming over to slap Max's shoulder. Michael and Maria burst out laughing, leaning over on the table.

"Ha ha, very funny." Liz said getting up to get a drink. Alex took her place next to Maria.

"Isabel wanted to let you know that her and your mom would be staying over night in Santa Fe." As Alex said that they heard a loud crash behind the counter.

"You okay over there chica?" Maria said looking over to see Liz blushing. Liz nodded as she leaned down to pick up the broken glass.

Max got up to help Liz, "My dad's out of town too, something about a meeting with a client in Brunswick." Max whispered slowly into her ear. Causing shivers to run up her spine; Liz looked back so their eyes would meet.

It was later that night after everyone had gone home that Max had decided that it was time. Pulling on some jeans and an old t-shirt he ran down the stairs to his jeep. Driving to the only place he knew by heart. The next thing he knew he climbing up the ladder onto her balcony, watching her sleep. "Max..." She said waking up groggily. She had felt him, felt him nearby, felt him watching her.

"Shhh." He said leaning down to kiss her. "You have to be quiet..."

"What's going on?" She asked leaning up confused. Max sat down next her to kiss her cheek. "Is everything okay?" She asked looking at him before placing a hand on his cheek.

Max nodded, "Everything's perfect." He said before leaning down to kiss her again. Threading one hand through her brown hair and raising one hand to lock the door with his powers before lowering his hand to massage her breast through her long pajamma t-shirt causing her to moan and gasp his name.

Falling back against the bed with him, Liz wrapped her arms around his strong neck playing with the nape of his neck. Breaking the kiss when the need for air became desperate he dragged his lips to the column of her neck down to where her raging pulse was. "God, Max, what...what are you doing?"

Looking up at her, one hand slowly creeping down to the hem of her shirt, "I want you Liz, in the worst ways..."

"Max..." She moaned leaning up to kiss him before tearing off his shirt. Max pushed her shirt all the way up causing his bare chest to meet hers. Both moaning at the touch, they leaned down for the kill. Knowing that this moment would change everything.

The next morning as Liz slept Max ran a hand up her arm watching the glow that went with his fingers, knowing that he had changed her. That what happened last night was meant to be. Stirring in her sleep, she turned on her back to meet Max's look, "What's going to happen now?"

"I don't know, but whatever it is, we're together now..." Max said before kissing her throughly.

When the need for air became desperate they looked at their joined hands to see that they not only fit perfectly together, but that Liz was now changed for good.


A/N: This is coming to an end wish me luck, this was my first story and I'm not all that proud of it, because I never had that much time and I'm not that good of a writer, but hey we're not all perfect...right?

Kyle kept starring at the television blankly, not noticing his dad come in from the kitchen taking a sip of his coffee. Kyle flipped the channel's trying to find something to distract his mind from the constant memories.

Flashback-

"Dearly beloved we are gathered here today; in loving memory of Tess Hardning." The gang stood frozen as the pastor spoke on. Kyle stood off to side starring at the casket that held Tess's body knowing that nothing was inside.

Remembering that in the pod chamber they held they're own memorial when the body disengrated to dust. Jim placed a hand on Kyle's shoulder but Kyle didn't feel a thing. He was numb inside, empty and couldn't understand why.

"We sometimes wonder why god takes away people that we love...but we cannot question god's doing. We only know that god has reason for his doing's."

Max exchanged looks with Liz as a small tear dropped down her cheek, hugging her to him Liz looked up to see Kyle emotionless. Max followed her gaze seeing their friend hurt.

End of Flashback


"Son?" Kyle looked up startled, "You alright?" Kyle turned the tv off and sat up.

Nodding, "Yeah, I'm fine, why wouldn't I be?"

"I gotta call from your teacher's the other day." Kyle looked down, "You didn't show up to class the past few days."

"I've erm...I've had some things to do..." Kyle said struggling to find an answer.

Jim came to sit next to him, "Kyle, I know that your having a hard time with Tess's passing and I'm not going to say I understand what your going through...because I don't." Kyle looked away, "Tess was like a daughter to me, okay?"

"I know dad...."

"I think that maybe you need to talk to somebody Kyle...I know you need time, but this isn't healthy..." Kyle shook his head, "Talk to Liz, or Max even..."

"NO!" Kyle said getting angry. "You know what I need, I need...I need to get out of here...out of Roswell." Kyle said running a hand through his hair.

"What do you mean?" Jim asked worriedly. "You can't just up and leave in the middle of the school year."

"I think it would be a good idea, just for a few days, a week maybe." Kyle said. "I need some time to sort things out, you know get away from it all."

Jim thought about it a minute, "By yourself?"

"The whole gang could go." Kyle suggested. Jim nodded, "Come on, it's perfect...after all that's went down."

"Where are you thinking?"


"Are you insane?" Liz said slamming her locker shut as she grabbed her history book. Turning to look at Kyle who was a bit anxious for her answer, "Just up and leave for a week to go to Vegas?"

"Yeah, come on..." Kyle said as they walked.

Liz shook her head, "I can't believe your dad agreed to this."

"He thinks I'm going to Alberqurque." Kyle said. "He thinks we all our, to get away from it all."

Liz stopped to look at him, "The only way I'll go is if the other's go, especially Max." Kyle smiled and hugged her.

"Come on man, the only way Liz will go is if you go and you know the only way Michael and Isabel will go is if you go." Max thought about as he sat in the library across Kyle.

"Liz is really okay with this?" Kyle nodded.

"Fine...but you have to talk to Michael and Isabel." Max said smirking. Kyle groaned.

"Vegas?" Isabel said looking at Alex then back at Kyle. "Your serious and my brother agreed to this?"

"Yep!" Kyle said. Just then Michael and Maria came up. "Good, killing two birds with one stone."

"What's up?" Michael said coming to sit down. Maria looked at Alex who was shrugging.

"Okay, something stupid is definetly up." Maria said looking at Kyle, "So Kyle, what's going on, hmmm?" She said coming to hug him.

Kyle laughed sarcastically, "I was asking them to Vegas."

"Vegas?" Michael said interested.

"Yeah, Max and Liz are going." Kyle said acting calm.

Maria looked shocked, "My Liz, as in Liz Parker?"

Kyle nodded, "You guys wanna come?"

At the end of the school Kyle ran up to Liz, "LIZ!" Liz turned around to see a smiling Kyle.

"So get your bags packed we're headed to Vegas." Kyle sang out.

Liz laughed, "So, I heard. I can't believe you got everyone to go. Max told me you had to talk to Michael and Isabel."

"Yep, no tough stuff." Kyle said shrugging. Liz smirked, "Really, it was actually quite easy. As soon as I told them you were coming they were in."

"But you didn't know if I was coming for sure...so you lied..." Liz said looking at him with a raised eyebrow.

"But you are." Kyle said sticking his tongue out. "So it's a lie of omission."

"Still a lie." Liz said. Seeing Max waiting with Isabel and Alex by the Jeep, "Listen Kyle, I know that you and Tess were close..."

"Liz...." Trying to stop her.

"No, Kyle, you need to hear this." Liz said looking at him, "Everyone's really worried about you, so I volunteered."

"For what?" Kyle said looking confused.

"You were the closest to Tess, I know that and saw that in your eyes. But just because we weren't close to Tess doesn't mean we didn't feel hurt over the feeling that she died, Kyle." Liz said closing her eyes. "You need to talk to someone Kyle...anyone. The grief that your feeling is going to eat you up."

Kyle looked down, "I don't know what your talking about."

"Kyle I'm your friend." Liz said placing her hand on top of his, "I'm not going to tell you how I think you feel or that I know what your going for. But I am going to tell you that I'm going to be here for you, whenever you need to talk. Tess cared about you and wouldn't want you living your life locked up inside a hole." Liz said calmly. "If not for yourself, start taking care of yourself for her." She said gesturing to the sky. As she walked to the jeep. Kyle looked up at the sky.

Max sat on the lawn chair outside on Liz's balcony while Liz packed her bag. Max had packed his bag earlier and told his mom that him and Isabel about a 'field trip' they were attending for a college tour. Of course Mrs. Evans signed and was happily eager for them to go.

It was harder to convince her parents along with Maria's mom and Alex's parents, seeing how it was a last minute 'field trip'. However, seeing how it was for college they reluctantly signed. They were to leave the next morning; Kyle, Isabel, and Alex in one car while Michael, Maria and Liz were in the jeep.

Now here Max was very anxious to leave, "So, how do you think we're going to pay for everything?" Liz called out from her bathroom.

"We have our ways." Max said raising his eyebrow. Liz peeked her head out the window. "Michael has this idea that we can just use our powers to change some one's into a couple hundreds."

"And you’re all right with that?" Liz said coming out the window to sit next to him.

Max shrugged, "I just wanna have some fun." He said looking down. "What about you? You okay with this trip?"

Liz looked up at him, "I really think we need this especially Kyle." She said taking his hand.

"Yeah, but you know you seem a little nervous at the name of Vegas." He said causing her to smile.

"Well, erm, we kind of eloped at the Elvis Chapel at 19..." Liz said quietly avoiding his gaze.

"We did?"

Liz nodded looking at him, "That's what the future version of you told me..."

"I guess we really never talked about that huh?" He said laying back bringing her back with him.

"No, we didn't." She said. "What do you want to know?"

"Everything." Max said leaning down to kiss the top of her head. Liz smiled looking up to look at the stars.


Kyle slowly walked to the grave and gently placed down the flowers. Looking around nervously he swallowed before crouching down, "Hi Tess..erm, its Kyle, I thought I stop by and see how you were doing. Pretty stupid question huh? I just thought I'd tell you how much I miss you." Looking up at the stars he shook his head, "I can't believe this happened, you know this sucks, it really does, because this shouldn't have happened. You didn't get to live out to your full potential."

Kyle leaned against the headstone, "I don't know, maybe it was meant to be. I want to hate you Tess...I want that so much. But I can't, why?" He shook his head laughing, "We're going to Vegas, you know just to relax...I need this. Maybe a new town will help clear my head."
