Chapter 11
The girls walked into the living room giggling. The guys looked up at their girls and smiled before they could help them selves. It was unnerving to feel so out of control. It was like their bodies were working without their consent.
Maria took a seat between Rath and Zan, sitting closer than she needed to to Zan. Ava plopped down right on Kyle, and Liz sat on the floor in between Rath’s legs.
“So, what you guys wanna do?” Ava asked.
Well they all knew what they REALLY wanted to do, but now wasn’t the time. “Wanna watch a movie?” Maria asked.
“Sure,” Zan said.
“Whatcha got?” Rath asked.
Maria got up. Zan immediately felt lose when she broke contact from him. “Ummm ET, that’s funny, What a Girl Wants, Love Actually, Almost Famous, Grease, Get Shorty, and Pulp Fiction. Not a great selection.”
“I’m in a Pulp Fiction mood.” Kyle said. Zan and Rath agreed.
The girls were leaning toward Love Actually. “How about we compromise,” Liz offered. “We can watch both.”
The guys mummbled in agreement. They really didn’t want to sit through a chick flick, but it’s not like they would be paying a hell of a lot of attention to the movie anyway. How could they?
They watched Pulp Fiction first. Surprisingly enough, the girls really liked it. They hated to admit it, but it was good.
10 minutes into Love actually, Maria put her hand on Zan’s. He turned his palm up and she laced her fingers through he. He looked at her and they smiled at each other. Rath and Liz had started making out 5 minutes earlier. Ave and Kyle were just starting.
As predicted, no one was watching the movie. Even Zan and Maria who were just holding hands weren’t paying attention. They were too busy thinking about each other. Zan couldn’t help but focus on her slender fingers wrapped around his hand. Maria was thinking about what it would be like to kiss him with that toung ring. Mmmm.
When the movie ended, the girls offered to make dinner. Zan was starting to feel like a freeloader. He hated that. “Yous guys don’t have to. I mean, we should be eatin ya food.” He said.
Maria waved her hand in dismissal. “No, we want you all here.”
“Yeah, don’t leave.” Liz pleaded.
Zan nodded and they stayed. Maria, Liz and Ava made Vodka Mosticcoli. The guys had to admit that it was pretty damn good.
After dinner. The couples retreated to their rooms. Maria was finally going to get to kiss Zan like she had wanted to for 2 days. When they walked into her room, zan made his way to her bed. “So, where were we?” he said.
Maria leaned in once more, “I think right about here,” she wispered before meeting his lips. They lightly kissed for a while before Zan entered her mouth. Maria loved the feeling of his toung ring in her mouth.
After a good half hour of making-out, Maria pulled back. “What’s wrong, baby doll?” Zan asked.
She loved when he called her that. “I just…I…I really like you, but I just got out of a really bad relationship, and I want to take things slow.” She finally said.
That was the last thing Zan wanted, but he respected this girl. He wanted her to be comfortable. “Ok,” he said, pulling away.
“Thanks,” she said. “I still want to kiss you, but I know you are more experianced than I am. I don’t want to disapoint you.”
“Baby doll, you can’t disappoint me. I want to move at your speed.” He said. It was official, he had lost his mind.
Meanwhile in Liz’s room…
Rath made his way to Liz. She stopped him before he kissed her. “Rath, can I ask you something?”
“Yeah,” he said pulling back.
“What do you see in me?” she asked. He couldn’t understand why Rath would want to be with her. He could be with anyone he wanted to.
“What do I see in ya? You beautiful, and sweet. Ya have a great heart. The question is why ya wanna be wit me, sweet pea.” He said.
She was shocked that he felt like he wasn’t good enough for her. “Rath, you don’t know how great you are do you?”
“Common,” he said waving her off.
“No, you are great. You protect your family with your life. You are loyal, and honest. I can tell you are still beating yourself up over what happened to Zan. Any normal man would not do that. You are special.” Liz said.
Rath couldn’t belive his ears. She thought he was special. No one but Zan and Ava ever thought about him like that. He was usually concidered trash. But Liz thought he was someone special.
Meanwhile in Kyle’s room.
Kyle and Ava made out a little more before Ava pulled away. “What are you thinking about?” she asked still not sure Kyle wasn’t confusing her with Tess.
“Well I was thinking about how I completely lucked out getting to meet you.” He said honestly.
“Why?” Tess asked.
“Why? Because you are amazing.”
“Really,” she said.
“Yeah, you are the only woman who has ever made me feel like this. So strong.”
Ava smiled and pulled him back into her for a kiss.

Chapter 12
After a little pleading on the humans’ part, the aliens spent the night at the townhouse. Zan still didn’t like the idea of practically living with Maria, Liz, and Kyle, but he also didn’t want to leave Maria. Her touch was intoxicating.
Zan laid down next to Maria with her permission, and wrapped his arms around her. They sponned all night. Maria felt so safe in Zan’s arms. It was like nothing could get to her while she was in his arms.
Zan loved the feel of Maria’s skin against his. He breathed her scent in. She smelled like a mixture of strawberries and lavender. Zan and Maria slept well in eachother’s arms.
Meanwhile in Liz’s room…
Liz pulled Rath back into her. They kissed, and kissed, and kissed. Rath’s hands moved up Liz’s back. He felt her smooth skin under his rough hands and had to stiffle a moan from escaping his lips.
Liz felt her body on fire. His touch made her whole body tingle. She couldn’t help but let out a small moan as Rath’s hands brushed a sensitive spot on the back of her neck. But Liz was still resistant to move this fast with Rath. She didn’t want to be used. So, Liz pulled away from the kiss.
Rath and Liz breathed hard from with heavy make-out session as Liz said, “I’m kinda tired. Will you just hold me?”
Rath’s eyes widened. “Sure, sweet pea.”
Rath removed his shirt and jeans and got back into bed. Liz pulled his arms around her. They fell asleep almost immediately, sleeping sweetly because of their closeness.
Meanwhile in Kyle’s room…
Ava sat on Kyle’s lap and removed his shirt. He had an amazing body under that shirt. His soft skin felt like heaven under her fingertips. She breathed in his musky scent. Damn, he was hot.
Kyle was a little surprised that Ava pulled his shirt off, but he wouldn’t complain. Everywhere she touched him energy shot through his body.
After a bit of heavy petting, Kyle broke the kiss, “Hey, we better go to bed or I’m not going to be able to control myself,” he said with a laugh.
Ava giggled at him and nodded, then they laid down together, dreaming about each other.
- - -
The next morning, Maria and Zan woke up with the alarm. Maria grinned at Zan who was holding her as tightly as he could. She gently loosened his grip on her and looked down embarassed.
They got out of bed and headed to the kitchen to find Rath, Liz, Kyle, and Ava already there. How did they always get up before her? Maria thought. “Hey guys,” Maria said.
“Hey,” that all said in unison.
After a couple of minutes Zan spoke up. “Alright, we betta jet. Gotsta get some shit done,” Ava and Rath nodded. Zan looked at Maria, “See ya tomorrow, baby doll?”
Maria smiled and nodded. Rath said goodbye to Liz, and Ava kissed Kyle. They all headed out the door, looking back one last time at their significant others.
Kyle, Liz, and Maria spent the rest of the day, before work, vegging out and talking about Rath, Zan, and Ava.
At work, all they could think about were the aliens that had recently come into their lives. It was kinda busy, so the night when by pretty fast. Maria had gotten a lot of complements on her singing preformance Friday. She was completely content. They all were.
It was just a matter of time before reality smacked them in the face.

Chapter 13
When Maira, Liz, and Kyle walked into the townhouse after a long night. Maria peeled off her heels and plopped on the couch. “God, remind me never to wear these shoes to work again.” She said.
“Yeah, I know what you mean,” Liz said as she unzipped her boots. She let out a deep sigh and fell on the couch on top of Maria. Kyle soon joined them. They weren’t tired, their bodies were just exhasted from the heavy crowed at the resturant.
Not ten minutes later the doorbell rang. “Who the hell could that be?” Kyle asked. If it was Zan, Rath, or Ava they would have just come in.
Kyle scratched his head and went to the door. Maria and Liz sat up to see who it was. Kyle opened the door. He saw a short red haired man in front of him, “Brody?” he said. What the hell was Brody doing here? And how did he know where they were?
Liz and Maria shot off the couch and went to the door.
“It’s not Brody. It’s Larek.” The man answered Kyle.
Liz, Kyle, and Maria looked at each other. “Larek. What are you doing here?” Maria finally asked.
“We have a problem, can I come in?” Larek said.
They moved away from the door and motioned for Larek to sit in the recliner. They sat in the couch and turned to him. “I need you three to come to Roswell with me.” Larek said.
Kyle felt anger rising in him. Who the hell did he thing he was. “What the hell do you mean, we have to go to Roswell. There is nothing back there for us.” Kyle said.
“You don’t understand. There is an emegency. When Michael, Max, Isabel got to Antar, Tess was to turn them into Kivar. Tess and Max’s baby would become the King of Antar, in name only. The problem was that the baby was born 100% human. The child did not receive any alien DNA. Now, Kivar is sending the child back to Earth with Max, Michael, and Isabel.”
“So, what does that have to do with us?” Maria said. She didn’t want to deal with this crap right now.
“They were beated badly on Antar. There powers are weak, and the trip back to earth took its toll on them. I’ve been keeping them in the pod chamber, but I can’t stay in control of this body much longer. They need you guys. You are the only ones that can help them. They need you to get better.” Larek said.
“Bullshit!” Kyle blurted out.
“It’s not, Kyle. They will die if you do not come to Roswell. They are still connected to you. Your strength will help them, but without you they will die. I knw you are all still mad at them for leaving you, but that baby needs a family.” Larek said knowing that would strike a chord with them. They were good hearted people, they wouldn’t let their once friends die no matter how pissed they were at them, and they definatly wouldn’t let a baby go without a family.
Maria, Liz, ans Kyle sat in silence for a long time before Maria finally spoke. “We have to go you guys. I know it sucks, and we are mad but we can’t let them die.”
Liz sighed, “Your right. Why? The minute we find a little happiness, those fucking aliens reel us back in!”
“No, shit!” Kyle grumbled, “If I knew this was what I was signing up for I would have asked Max to let me die.”
Larek smiled. They were going to come. “Ok, well I’m going to return this body, but when you get to the pod chamber follow the instructions I’ve left for you.” Larek said befor getting out and walking out the door.
“Damnit!” Kyle yelled as Larek left.
“I second that,” Maria said.
“So, we’re going to have to tell Rath, Zan, and Ava.” Liz said. “That’s going to be tons of fun. You know how protective they are of us.” She said rolling her eyes.
“I’ll call them.” Maria said, knowing that they needed to talk tonight, because she, Liz, and Kyle had to fly out 1st thing in the morning.
She picked up the phone and dialed, “Hey, Zan?”
“Yeah, whas up, baby doll?” Zan answered.
“Well, we have a little problem, all of us. Can you, Rath, and Ava come over tonight?” Maria said.
“Your aint hurt are you?” Zan asked in terror.
“No, no. It’s nothing like that.” Maria said with a grin. He was such guy.
“Ok, we are on the way. Bye baby.” He said and hung up the phone. This could not be good. He racked his brain for what could possibly be wrong. He thought about it the whole walk over to the townhouse.

this is short... but there is more comming tonight.. i promise...
Chapter 14
Zan, Rath, and Ava waked in the door without bothering to knock. They saw Maria, Liz, and Kyle arms around each other sulking.
“Whas wrong?” Zan asked.
“We have to go to Roswell.” Maria said looking down at her feet.
“What?!?” Rath asked and looked at Liz.
“You know how we told you that your dupes went back to Antar. Well, it was a set up. Tess got pregnate on purpose to get them back there and Kivar was going to kill them and use Tess’s baby as the King in name only. The problem was that little Zan was completely human. So, Kivar roughed up Michael, Max, and Isabel and sent them back to Roswell with the baby.”
The aliens still looked confused so Maria continued, “They are in the pod chamber, helpless, and we are the only people that can strengthen them. We have a bond with them, and we can help them.”
“Fuck them,” Zan said angrily. He didn’t like the way they had hurt his new friends. As far as he was concerned they could die.
“Zan,” Maria said, “We can’t just let them die. We may be pissed at them, but we do still care about them. They were our best friends once. And we can’t let baby Zan suffer either.”
Zan, Rath, and Ava chewed over this new development. It sucked. There was no getting around that. But they also knew that people like Maria, Kyle, and Liz couldn’t just leave their friends high and dry.
“If thas what ya have ta do, I undastand,” Ava finally said sadly.
“We commin’ wit ya.” Zan said to everyone’s surprise.
“You don’t have to, Zan. Really, we can just go out there, help them and come back.” Maria said. She really did want them to come, but she couldn’t ask them to leave the only home they had ever known just to take care of some people they didn’t even like.
“No, we commin’,” Rath said finally, “We aint lettin’ ya go back there without some kinda protection.”
“So, when we leavin’?” Ava said.
Liz, Kyle, and Maria looked at each other, finally giving in. “Tomorrow, at 6:00am. We are going to fly to las Caruses and then rent a car to drive to Roswell.” Kyle answered.
“Alright, let us get some shit togetha, we be back.” Zan said and the three aliens left.
When they were gone, Maria turned to Liz and Kyle, “I have a feeling that this is not going to turn out well.” She said.
“Yeah, ya think,” Kyle said. It was going to be weird enough to be around their old friends again after they had left them, but now they were dating the New York aliens. Yep, there was going to be a lot of drama. Goody goody.

Chapter 15
Zan and Maria sat next to each other on the plane, just as Rath sat with Liz and Kyle sat with Ava. Everyone was nervous, and not just about flying. Zan was worried that Maria would get back to Michael. Rath was worried that Liz would go back to Max. Ava had a bad feeling about going to Roswell. Kyle, Liz, and Maria were all worried that the tension between Max, Michael, Zan, and Rath was going to be completely unbearable.
Maria gripped Zan’s hand as they lifted off. She leaned into him and whispered, “Everything will be ok.” She said it as much for herself as for him. He looked at her and smiled. He hoped so.
Maria fell asleep against Zan’s chest. He didn’t understand how she could sleep at a time like this. He looked around the plane. All of his friends were asleep. He couldn’t comprehend it. He hadn’t been able to sleep all night. He was so worried about what was about to go down in Roswell.
He was so wrapped up in thoughts of Roswell, NM he didn’t even think about Maria pressed against his skin. He didn’t want to lose her. What if she wanted to go back to Rath’s dupe? He had tasted her and didn’t want to give that up. He would fight for her.
As the plane landed, Zan woke everyone up. He had made some progress in his head on the flight. He wan’t going to give Maria up, and Rath’s dupe could just deal with that. How could he have left this beautiful woman alone? He still couldn’t fathom it. He would die before leaving her.
After the gang got their baggage, they rented the car. Kyle got a Tahoe so that there was plenty of room for everyone. It was only about a 2 hour drive to Roswell, but the last thing he wanted was to be on top of Rath or Zan.
Kyle climbed behind the wheel. Ava took shotgun. Zan and Maria sat on the first bench in the back, and Rath and Liz took the back bench. They were one big happy family.
The car ride was silent. Everyone was lost in their own thoughts. The humans still wondered how they were supposed to help their friends. They had connected to others, how could they still be connected to the roswellian aliens.
As they pulled into Roswell city limits, a thought came to Kyle. “Shit, we have to call my dad and tell him what’s going on.” He said as he made his way down the road to Pullman Ranch. He pulled out his phone and called his dad. He told his dad the situation, leaving out the Dupes. His dad instructed him to come to his house when they were done in the pod-chamber.
“So ya dad knows about tha alien conspiracy too.” Rath asked.
“Yeah,” Kyle said as he pulled up to the rocky structure they all knew as the pod chamber.
As they walked up to the entrance a thought struck Liz, “Wait, we can’t get in. We can’t make the handprint appear.”
Zan moved into action placing his hand over the entrance and opening it. “We can.” He said.
“Besides, yous was changed when Max healed ya. Ya coulda got in.” Ava answered. They entered the pod-chamber and were terrified at what they saw.
Max, Michael, and Isabel were laid down on the ground motionless. They each had a healing stone next to them. The baby was laid in max’s pod in the same state as the aliens. Maria noticed the notbook on the floor and picked it up. She read it aloud to the group.
Liz, Maria, and Kyle,
Max, Michael, and Isabel need you. You are the only people who can save them. They have made a bond with each of you in the friendship you have shared with them. What you need to do is this. Liz go to Max. Maria go to Michael. And Kyle go to Isabel. Pick up the healing ston and place your other hand on their head. Focus your energy on the alien. You may be pulled into their mind, so be careful. Make sure you go to them with thoughts of love. I know you all have been through a great deal, but it is important that you use positive energy. This is their last hope.
Larek.
Liz took a deep breath and walked over to Max, as Maria walked to Michael and Kyle took his place next to Isabel. Rath alked over and sat next to her. Zan did the same with Maria. Ava was scared, but did the same with Kyle.
The New York aliens were still worried, but they knew they had to be there for Liz, Maria, and Kyle. They wanted to be their for them incase they were pulled in.

Chapter 16
Liz picked up the healing stone and laid her hand over Max’s head. She focused her energy on him, even after she felt Rath’s hand on her shoulder. As she concentrated the stone began to shine and she felt herself being pulled into Max’s mind.
Her vision was blurry at first. Then it became more clear. She saw a man beating Max, and taking little Zan away from him. Max was crying. When the man, who she assumed was Kivar, left Max currled up into a little ball. Liz approached him. “Max,” she said in a soothing voice.
He looked back up at her, “Liz?” he said, “You are here.” He smiled and threw his arms around her.
“Yes, and you need to come back to us, Max. You need to save your son.” She said.
Meanwhile with Maria, Michael, and Zan…
When Maria was pulled in she saw flashes of red lightning. She found Michael unconscious and ran to him. “Michael, you need to wake up!” she screamed at him.
As she shook him for a few minutes, Michael began to come to. “Maria?” Michael asked through parted eyes. “I missed you so much!” he exclaimed.
“I missed you too, Michael. But you need to come back to us. Liz and Kyle are here. We need you to wake up, Michael.”
Meanwhile with Kyle and Isabel…
Kyle was pulled into a dark room with a hysterical Isabel. He approached her and wrapped his arms around her. “Isabel, it’s ok we are here.” He said.
“She killed him, Kyle. Tess killed Alex.” She said between sobs.
“I know. It’s hard, but you have to come out of here. We need you.” Kyle said.
“No! I don’t want to go back there. I need Alex.” She screamed.
“He’s gone Isabel, but we all need you. And your nephew needs you. You have to wake up. Alex would want you to wake up.”
Isabel knew he was right. “I don’t know how.” She said.
“Follow me,” Kyle said. Isabel did. They walked through the building and out the door into the real world. Isabel sat up with a jolt.
Just then, Michael and Max joined her. They were awake.
Max pulled Liz into a hug. Rath backed away. He knew that Max didn’t know what had happened between him and Liz but he couldn’t help the pang of jealosy in the pit of his stomach.
When Michael did the same with Maria, Zan saw red. It was all he could do to night pull that bastard off the ground and punch hin square in the face. But now was not the time. He simply let his fingernails dig into his hands.
Ava stood aside and watched the friends fondly. She knew how much these people ment to her new friends.
Liz backed away from Max and said, “You have to save your son. He is in your pod. He needs you.”
Max stepped into action as Michael and Isabel stood up to watch. Max placed his hand over little Zan’s chest. He focused his energy and minutes later everyone heard a faint cry. Max scooped his son into his arms. He was going to be ok.
It wasn’t until just then that Max, Michael, and Isabel noticed that Zan, Rath, and Ava were there. Max stepped in front of Liz as Michael grabbed Maria into his arms. They had just gotten their girls back, they didn’t want to lost them now to an intergalactic war between dupes.

Chapter 17
The aliens stood their staring each other down for a couple minutes befor Maria moved away from Michael and Liz stapped out from behind Max. “What the hell are they doing here?” Isabel asked.
Kyle put his arm around her and looked at Ava before speaking, “They aren’t bad. Common, we have a lot to talk about. We should go back to my dad’s house.” Kyle said.
“I’m not going anywhere with that murder.” Max said to Rath. He couldn’t forget how Rath and Lonnie had tried to kill him once.
“Max, I promise he is fine. We will explain everything, but right now you have to trust us.” Liz said to Max.
“Fine,” Michael said, “but you stay the fuck away from me,” he motioned to Zan.
Everyone followed Liz, Maria, and Kyle out of the pob chamber. The SUV was a tight fit but they all got in. Max and Michael squeezed in with Maria and Liz in the vert back bench. They didn’t want ‘their girls’ any closed to their dupes than necissary. Little did they know. Ava, Zan, and Rath sat in the front bench, and Isabel sat shotgun and Kyle drove.
Kyle made his way to his house quickly. He could feel the tension and it was driving him crazy. What right did Max and Michael have to get all possesive? They left us. Did they expect them to wait around forever before moving on?
As Kyle pulled into the driveway he let out a sigh of relief that didn’t go unnoticed by Isabel, but she let it go. She wanted to know what the hell was going on. She trusted her friends, but she was still very confused. And if Rath was really good, where was her dupe?
Max took Liz’s hand and Michael took Maria’s and led them into the house. Who the hell do these assholes think they are, Zan thought. He was just about to say something, but Maria shot him a pleading look. How could he say no to that. She had him wrapped around her little finger, and he knew it.
As they entered the house and settled in the living room, Maria walked over to Zan and took his hand. Liz seeing this knew that it was time so she walked over to Rath. Kyle was already standing next to Ava, but now he put his arm around her.
“What the hell is going on?” Max demanded. “Get away from Liz!” he yelled at Rath who puffed his chest out. Oh, God this was not going well.
“Look, guys. Can you calm down.” Maria said.
“Calm down? You are standing there with a DEAD man, Maria. What is going on?” Micheal tried hard to keep his cool but was quickly losing that battle.
“I aint dead, alright.” Zan said before he could stop himself.
Kyle and Ava saw mass chaos erupting. Kyle took action. “Hey, Max, Michael, Isabel… look if you would just calm down we could explain to you what the hell is going on. Just sit down and we will tell you what happened.” Then maybe you could tell us why we were so easy to leave, he added silently.
Max, Michael, and Isabel did as they were instructed. The three new couples stood in front of them, not knwoing how to start. Maria was first, “Ok, well first off we should start with how we met the New York aliens. I was preforming, and Zan notices energy coming off me, so he and Rath and Ava followed us out to the ally.”
Kyle picked up, “We were just as hesitant as you are now. I mean, there was a man we thought was dead and the man who killed him. But Maria talked them into coming back to the apartment, and they explained what happened.”
“You invited starngers back to your apartment in NEW YORK CITY?” Michael said to Maria, “You could have been killed.”
Maria didn’t know why, but his concern pissed her off. She couldn’t stop herself from screaming at him, “Why the fuck would you care, Michael?” she started to come at him, but Zan stopped her, “You left us, alone, and went off with that lying, murdering, bitch. No, Michael you have no right to give me a lecture on safty.” She yelled. Zan wrapped his arms around her and whisperd soothing words in her ear.
“Get the fuck off of her,” Michael growled.
“Who da fuck you think you are, duke?” Zan said not even bothering to look at Michael.
“I’m her boyfriend, dick.” Michael shot back.
“I wouldn’t be so sure,” Kyle said under his breath, but Michael, Max, and Isabel heard him. They looked at him. He realized he needed to explain himself. “Well, we could tell you what the deal was if you all would stop interupting us.” He said.
Isabel said something for the first time since they left the pod chamber. “Let’s just hear them out. There has to be an explanation. Liz, Kyle, and Maria wouldn’t just decided to save our lived to have an enemy kill us.” She looked at the trio motioning for them to continue.
Max and Michael weren’t happy but the agreed. Max kept his eyes on Rath’s hand on Liz’s waist, while Michael looked at Maria’s fingers laced in Zan’s. Had the world gone crazy?
Kyle picked up the story, “So, what happened was that Lonnie had brainwashed Rath into killing Zan and trying to kill Max. She also brainwashed him into finding Nicolas for her.” Isabel looked down. She couldn’t help but think about the fact that she had betrayed her family on Antar, and now her Dupe had betrayed her family on on earth.
Maria continued, “What Rath, Lonnie, and Ava didn’t know was that Zan could heal himself. So, he laid in an ally, healing himself for several weeks.” Tears filled Maria’s eyes as she thought of Zan cold and alone in an ally somewhere. She squeezed his hands and looked up at him. He shot her a comforting smile. She finished, “They were reunited when Rath broke out of the mindwarp. Ava had found Zan a week earlier, and they found Rath together.”
“So, I really am a bad person.” Isabel said before she could stop herself.
Kyle went to her and put his arm around her, “No, Isabel, you are not. Lonnie and Vilandra were, not you!”
Zan felt the need to say something, “Look I don’t know ya, but I do know Liz, Maria, and Kyle and they wouldn’ta flown all ta way out here to save someone like Lonnie.” Isabel looked up at him. He was telling the truth. She still couldn’t help but feel guilty.
Max was lost in his own thoughts when Michael spoke, “Ok, that explains how you met and why Liz, Maria, and Kyle didn’t kill you, but do you think you could now explain to me why your hands are all over my girlfriend?”

Chapter 18
“She’s aint ya girl anymore, friend,” Rath said, thigtening his hold on Liz as if Max would be the next to attack.
Maria spoke up, “When you left I moved on. I had to. I mean I could stay in Roswell moping around about you forever, and I found someone.” She said looking at Zan.
Michael got the message. He turned his glar to Zan. Max snapped out of his daze, “So, that’s what this is. Liz is with Rath and Maria is with Zan.” He turned to Kyle, “And you are with Ava aren’t you?” Kyle nodded. Max continued to speak, “No, this isn’t happening. I know you guys were mad at us, and you needed to be with someone, but you still love us. Proof is in the fact that you are dating our dupes.”
Isabel was appawled at her brother’s behaviour. As if they were all just confused, that they couldn’t have possible moved on. “Max, shut up!” she snapped, “Why don’t you listen to what they have to say.”
The humans and the alien dupes were all suprized that Isabel was taking their side. Maybe this wouldn’t be as hard as they thought, but looking at Max and Michael they knew that the two were just not getting it.
“Michael, we didn’t plan it, but we all fell in love in New York. We have a connection stronger than anything I’ve ever felt. I love Zan. I can’t control it and I don’t want to.” Maria said camly.
Before this got ugly, Kyle cut in. “How about Michael, Maria, and Zan stay here, and Max Liz, and Rath go into the kitchen. We can talk this out.” When Max, Liz, and Rath left for the kitched, Kyle whispered to Isable and Ava, “You know we are going to have to keep them from killing each other.” Ava and Isabel nodded. Isabel took Max, Liz and Rath while Ava and Kyle watched Michael, Maria, and Zan.
Michael finally answered Maria, “How could you do this? I mean after everything we talked about the night I left. You did love me, I know that. I know you still do.” Michael said with his voice rising.
“Well, part of that is right. I did love you. A part of me always will. You were my first love, but I don’t love you that way anymore. What you did to me the night you left is part of the reason.” Maria answered.
“What the hell did I do? I was the best boyfriend ever the night we left.” Michael was seriously confused.
“Yeah, that’s right Michael,” Maria was strugling to control her temper again, “You told me you loved me, you showed me yourself. You made me my favorite dinner, and then you made love to me all night. But you seem to forget, you left me the next morning without looking back.” She yelled.
Zan was kind of surprised, for some reason he didn’t think that Maria and Michael had had sex. He couldn’t help but feel jealous. But what room did he have to talk, he’s had sex with more girls than he could count.
Meanwhile in the kitchen…
Rath sat on the counter as Liz stood in between his legs. Max sat on a stool and stared at them, he was steaming. Isabel watch quietly next to the refrigerator. Max was the first to speak, “Why? I though when we got back you would still want to be with me. You said we were connected.”
“Max, listen to me very carfully. I love Rath, you arnt going to change it so quite trying. I don’t know what you expected me to do. You slept with a murderer, got her pregnate, and left all of us back here to fend for ourselves. Did you expect a homecomming party?” Lix said exasperated.
“Liz, I knew you love me. What we had was special. And why would you come back here to save me if you didn’t still love me.” Max said almost pleading. He needed her to still love him.
“Chief, she siad she don’t love you, man.” Rath said not wanting this to be an all day affair. Liz quieted him with a finger to his lips.
“Max, I will always care about you. I can’t help that. I will always want to be your friend, but I just don’t want to be with you the same way I want to be with Rath. I saved you because it was the right thing to do, and I didn’t want you to die, but that does not mean I still love you.” Liz answered calmly.
They heard the baby cry, “I got it,” Isabel said, walking out of the kitched to little Zan.
Liz turned to Rath, seeing that this conversation was getting nowhere, asked, “Rath, can you give us a minute?”
Rath shook his head, “Nope, can’t do that.” Liz pleaded and he finally gave in. But he stood just outside the kitchen so he could hear the conversation.
Back in the Living room…
“It’s not like I wanted to leave! I didn’t have a choice!” Michael yelled.
“Oh yes, you did. No one MADE you leave, but you did anyway. And the bottom line is that it was a good thing. If you hadn’t left I would have never gone to New York, and I would hav never met Zan.” She said and took a deep breath, “Look, I know that this isn’t what you were expecting to come back to, but this is how it is. I don’t want to lose you as a friend, but I’m not giving up Zan. I need him.”
Michael just looked down and shook his head. How could his life have taken such a sharp turn for the worst in only a few weeks. How was he supposed to give Maria up? He did love her. He knew that he would have to except that she was with Zan or lose her. That was one thing about Maria, when she had her mind on something, she got it. But he just couldn’t.
Back in the kitchen…
Max walked toward Liz. “Liz, you don’t have to do this. I knw you love me. You are just mad and blocked out our connection.”
“Max! Stop talking to me like I’m an idiot. I know what I’m doing. You can’t control me!” Liz yelled.
You tell him, Rath thought. Then Max walked closer toward Liz in silence. He had to make her remember what they had. He had to make her feel their connection. He grabbed her head in his hands and crashed his lips into her’s.
TBC...
“She’s aint ya girl anymore, friend,” Rath said, thigtening his hold on Liz as if Max would be the next to attack.
Maria spoke up, “When you left I moved on. I had to. I mean I could stay in Roswell moping around about you forever, and I found someone.” She said looking at Zan.
Michael got the message. He turned his glar to Zan. Max snapped out of his daze, “So, that’s what this is. Liz is with Rath and Maria is with Zan.” He turned to Kyle, “And you are with Ava aren’t you?” Kyle nodded. Max continued to speak, “No, this isn’t happening. I know you guys were mad at us, and you needed to be with someone, but you still love us. Proof is in the fact that you are dating our dupes.”
Isabel was appawled at her brother’s behaviour. As if they were all just confused, that they couldn’t have possible moved on. “Max, shut up!” she snapped, “Why don’t you listen to what they have to say.”
The humans and the alien dupes were all suprized that Isabel was taking their side. Maybe this wouldn’t be as hard as they thought, but looking at Max and Michael they knew that the two were just not getting it.
“Michael, we didn’t plan it, but we all fell in love in New York. We have a connection stronger than anything I’ve ever felt. I love Zan. I can’t control it and I don’t want to.” Maria said camly.
Before this got ugly, Kyle cut in. “How about Michael, Maria, and Zan stay here, and Max Liz, and Rath go into the kitchen. We can talk this out.” When Max, Liz, and Rath left for the kitched, Kyle whispered to Isable and Ava, “You know we are going to have to keep them from killing each other.” Ava and Isabel nodded. Isabel took Max, Liz and Rath while Ava and Kyle watched Michael, Maria, and Zan.
Michael finally answered Maria, “How could you do this? I mean after everything we talked about the night I left. You did love me, I know that. I know you still do.” Michael said with his voice rising.
“Well, part of that is right. I did love you. A part of me always will. You were my first love, but I don’t love you that way anymore. What you did to me the night you left is part of the reason.” Maria answered.
“What the hell did I do? I was the best boyfriend ever the night we left.” Michael was seriously confused.
“Yeah, that’s right Michael,” Maria was strugling to control her temper again, “You told me you loved me, you showed me yourself. You made me my favorite dinner, and then you made love to me all night. But you seem to forget, you left me the next morning without looking back.” She yelled.
Zan was kind of surprised, for some reason he didn’t think that Maria and Michael had had sex. He couldn’t help but feel jealous. But what room did he have to talk, he’s had sex with more girls than he could count.
Meanwhile in the kitchen…
Rath sat on the counter as Liz stood in between his legs. Max sat on a stool and stared at them, he was steaming. Isabel watch quietly next to the refrigerator. Max was the first to speak, “Why? I though when we got back you would still want to be with me. You said we were connected.”
“Max, listen to me very carfully. I love Rath, you arnt going to change it so quite trying. I don’t know what you expected me to do. You slept with a murderer, got her pregnate, and left all of us back here to fend for ourselves. Did you expect a homecomming party?” Lix said exasperated.
“Liz, I knew you love me. What we had was special. And why would you come back here to save me if you didn’t still love me.” Max said almost pleading. He needed her to still love him.
“Chief, she siad she don’t love you, man.” Rath said not wanting this to be an all day affair. Liz quieted him with a finger to his lips.
“Max, I will always care about you. I can’t help that. I will always want to be your friend, but I just don’t want to be with you the same way I want to be with Rath. I saved you because it was the right thing to do, and I didn’t want you to die, but that does not mean I still love you.” Liz answered calmly.
They heard the baby cry, “I got it,” Isabel said, walking out of the kitched to little Zan.
Liz turned to Rath, seeing that this conversation was getting nowhere, asked, “Rath, can you give us a minute?”
Rath shook his head, “Nope, can’t do that.” Liz pleaded and he finally gave in. But he stood just outside the kitchen so he could hear the conversation.
Back in the Living room…
“It’s not like I wanted to leave! I didn’t have a choice!” Michael yelled.
“Oh yes, you did. No one MADE you leave, but you did anyway. And the bottom line is that it was a good thing. If you hadn’t left I would have never gone to New York, and I would hav never met Zan.” She said and took a deep breath, “Look, I know that this isn’t what you were expecting to come back to, but this is how it is.

Chapter 19
Liz pushed Max’s chest as Rath ran into the room, “What the hell are you doing,” Liz screamed. Rath ran to her and pushed Max away.
When the rest of the group heard the commontion, they ran into the kitchen. “Bad move, duke.” Rath said holding Liz tightly.
Max picked himself up off the ground. “What is going on in here?” Michael asked going to Max.
“Ya boy attacked, Liz.” Rath answered. Zan came at Max, but Kyle stopped him.
“I wasn’t attacking her. I wanted her to remember what we had. I kissed her to get her to feel out connection. It’s still there I know it.” Max argued.
“Dammit, Max.” Isabel said, “You can’t just expect to come back and have Liz drop everything for you.” She couldn’t belive her brother’s behaviour.
“Isabel, you don’t know what you are talking about. You never had what Liz and I have!” Max snapped. How dare she tell him how to act?
Isabel’s eyes filled with tears. She glared at Max, “Fuck, you!” she said before running out of the kitchen into the living room.
Kyle began to follow her. Ava stopped him, “Let me. She might need to talk to a woman.” She said before giving him a kiss and joining Isabel on the couch in the living room. Great, Kyle thought, I get to deal with a room full of testosterone and emotional women.
Liz looked up at Max, “Look, I want to be friends with you and I think I’m trying pretty damn hard, but if you continue to act like I’m just confused, or trying to get back at you I will be forced to leave and cut my losses. I love Rath. End of story.”
Michael spoke up, “I want to know, right now. What did you three do to them? Did you mind warp them? Because I know that was I had with Maria was real. She wouldn’t just give that up with no explanation.”
“I didn’t brainwash no one,” Rath said in anger. That was still a sore spot this him.
“Michael,” Maria started, “you are not listening to us. There is an explanation. I love Zan and Liz loves Rath. We didn’t plan it, but it happened.”
Michael didn’t know what to say. She was in love with Zan? How could this be? Nothing made sense anymore.
Meanwhile in the living room…
Ava saw Isabel sitting on the couch, head in her hands, crying. She slowly took a seat next to her and put her arm around her. Isabel was definatly different than Lonnie. Ava had never seen Lonnie cry in her whole life.
Isabel turned to look at Ava, “Why would he say that?” she said between sobs.
“Max?” Ava asked. She wasn’t exactly sure what was going on.
“Yeah,” Isabel said weakly. “Why does everyone think I’m so heartless. I loved Alex. I loved him they way I know you love Kyle.” Isabel went on.
Ava was still a little confused. Isabel saw this and explained. She told Ava about Alex. Ava knew the part about Tess mindwarping him and killing him, but Isabel told her how she felt about him. Ava was the only person in the world Isabel told. No one knew the love she had for Alex.
Ava held her as she spoke. When Isabel was done, Ava said, “Look, I ain’t real god wit words, but I can say that I can feel ya energy and I know ya really loved him. An I bet whereva Alex is he knows ya love him.”
That was exactly what Isabel needed to hear. She didn’t know why but Ava had said exactly what she wanted to hear. Isabel wrapped her arms around Ava and pulled her into a tight huh. Ava resisted a little but then gave in to the taller woman’s warmth.
“Is gonna be aright.” Ava said, “We just gotta get ya brotha’s ta calm down. I promise we aint tryin’ to hurt Liz, Maria, or Kyle. I love Kyle and Rath and Zan love Liz and Maria. I know it.”
Isabel smiled brushing away tears. “I know you wouldn’t hurt them. But my brothers a pig headed. Especially, Max.”
“Well, we gotta do somthin’ before this turns into World War III.” Isabel chuckled and nodded. They made their way arm-in-arm into the kitchen.

Chapter 20
“Maria, les just get outa here,” Zan said, “you don’t need to deal wit this right now.” He hated to see her so frustrated. He could kill Michael and Max for making her feel like this.
“No, Zan. We have to work this out.” Maria said determined. She turned to Michael and Max. “You guys, listen to me very carefully. You have got to stop this. Stop trying to control me and Liz. We are not helpless, we know what we are getting into, and we aren’t stupid.”
Michael looked up from the ground, “Look, Maria, I’m not happy about this, and I still don’t fully trust this Zan guy, but I don’t want to lose you completely. I will try, but I can’t promise you anything.” Michael finally said.
A smile crept across Maria’s face, “That’s all I’m asking, Michael.” She reached around him and gave him a hug. Zan cleared his throat causing Maria to break the hug. She moved back next to Zan who wrapped his arms around her. He didn’t want Michael to get the wrong idea. Maria was his.
Max was still fuming, “Your just going to let this, this street trash steal Maria right out from under you?” He yelled at Michael.
Rath quickly pushed Max against the wall, “I would think twice before ya call us street trash.”
“Get off me,” Max yelled.
“Max, look at yourself! You are such a controlling ASS!” Liz said, “I mean you have tried to control everything about all of our lives.” She was on a roll. “You wouldn’t let Isabel go to college. You tried to physically drag me away from the cab when I was going to go to Sweden. You treat Michael like he is an idiot. You use Maria for advice and then never take it.” Max tried to interrupt, but Liz stopped him, “No, Max I’m not done! You are such a hypocrite. You want to control everyone else, but you cant even control yourself. You got Tess pregnate and then forced your family to come with you to clean up your mess! God, why am I even trying to get you to be friends with me again.”
Liz turned away from Max and hung her head. She walked over to Maria and Zan who wrapped their arms around her.
Liz looked up at Rath who was still holding a struggling Max against the wall. “Rath, can we just get out of here. I don’t have the strength to deal with this right now.”
“Sure, Sweet pea.” He said. He gave Max one hard push and walked over to Liz. He wrapped his arms around her and gave her a kiss on the forehead. He really wanted to Beat the shit out of Max, but he felt Liz’s emotions and knew she needed to get out of there.
“Hey, we will go with you,” Maria said. She and Zan followed Liz and Rath into the Living room. Ava and Kyle joined them.
As they walked out the door, Michael and Isabel came into the living room. ‘Hey, can we come too?” Isabel asked.
Maria, Liz, and Kyle smiled, “I’d like that.” Liz said. Kyle left his dad a note briefly explaining what had gone downThey all got into the Tahoe and headed to Maria’s house. Her mom was out of town.
In the truck, Michael turned to Zan, “Look, Zan I’m sorry that Max called you street trash. He was out of line.”
Zan nodded and Maria squeezed his hand, “Thank you, Michael.” She said simply. When they reached Maria’s house they all climed out of the truch and went inside.
“Well, that went better than I though,” Kyle said sarcastically. Ava punched him in the arm.
“Ok, well I need a shower,” Maria said. “Anyone else?”
Everyone nodded. Maria noticed Michael and Isabel’s desheveled appearance for the first time. They needed the shower the most. “Ok how about Michael taked my shower and Isabel, you take my mom’s.” They smiled and obeyed.
