Roswell Next Generation (ADULT/UC/CC) Thread #1

Andrew

I could hear Brad's voice from outside, but only vaguely, not enough to make out what he was saying. I lapsed back into my own thoughts.

Brad and I were going to be on break soon. I figured it would be good to stick around and do some reading up, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to go back to Roswell for a bit, see how the family was doing. I wasn't too sure about Brad though- we'd have to talk about it later. My friend had never liked home much, so it was hard to tell if he'd want to go or not.

I turned the shower off and when I was dry and clothed, I stepped out of the bathroom to find Brad right where I'd left him, no longer on the phone.

"Who was that?" I asked, putting my towel on the rack. I couldn't quite resist teasing the guy, "Don't tell me- another girl?"

~~~~~AMY~~~~~
I watch as Lily goes and sits down with Marie. I know they're both talking about me from the way they shoot glances at me from time to time, but I don't care. So what? I know it's odd for people to talk about me since Im invisible girl, but still.

I serve another customer when I see Christina join them. I bet Lily didn't order because she's waiting for Christina. Just at that moment the bell rings on Marie's order. I quickly collect in and head over to them.

"Here's your Marie."I say as I put it down infront of her. "What can I get you two?" I ask not looking at them.

“So, did you order yet?” Christina asks sounding extremely perky. Hmm, I wonder what my cousin said to put her in such a good mood. It can’t be just because he agreed to give her a ride, there must be something going on under the surface. All I need to do is scratch a little and bam, you’ve got answers. That whole scratching thing sounds really gross, even in my head.

“No, not yet.” I say, silently studying my best friend. Christina and I have been friends since forever just like our mothers have. We are practically sisters and I actually think that I might be closer to her then what I am to Amy. Its weird but that’s life.

“Here’s yours Marie,” Amy states, placing some fries and an alien blast in front of Marie. “What can I get you two?”

She’s staring down at her notebook, avoiding all eye contact. I guess this whole Oliver thing must really have her stressed out but that’s no excuse to take it out on me when all I was trying to do was help her. Its time that she stops playing the mouse and takes what she wants. Its the way I live my life and it works really well.

“I’ll have a Will Smith, an alien blast and some fries.” I state before grinning at Christina. “I’m gonna need all the energy I can get for tonight!”

-Brad-

"No, it wasn't another girl," I said, grinning at the look on his face. "It was my mom. She wants us to come home over our break, you up for it?" I got up from the bed and made my way over to the dresser to grab my wallet and some cologne.

I didn't particularly want to visit home, but I missed my family a little, and maybe I'd meet some girl that hadn't lived there her whole life. You never know with Roswell.

"Can you be ready in ten minutes?" I asked, checking my reflection in the mirror over the dresser.

"Upset her? That doesn't sound like her. What did you talk about?" My husband asked, and I immediately launched into my story.

"You know Tess's son, Oliver?" I asked, and then continued when he nodded. "Well, Amy had a crush on him way back when they were kids, which I'm sure you noticed. Anyway, it's looks as if she still feels something for him. So of course, when I thought of that I let my feelings against Tess get in the way and basically told her that he wasn't good enough." I frowned at my own words, wishing I could take them back. "But that's not even the worst of it. I decided to give him a fair shot and asked her if she'd made any moves on him. She said no and that she wasn't good enough for him. Why would our daughter feel like that, Max?" I asked, distressed.

-Christina-

"Oh, can I get a large fry, a piece of chocolate cake, and cherry coke with Tabasco please?" I asked, smiling at Amy. She looked almost nothing like Lily, despite the fact that they were identical twins. Their personalities were just soo different.

I noticed Amy looked a bit lonely and upset, so I tried to include her in the conversation. "So, are you going tonight Amy?" I asked, giving her another smile.

I fiddled with my rings and bracelets while she stared down at her order pad, waiting for an answer. As soon as she left I'd have to confront Lily about her look as she'd walked away from James. Then I could eat in peace before tonight.

(Skipping to the party sounds good to me...I have used my post to move things on a bit at the Crashdown....hope thats ok)

~~~~~AMY~~~~~
“I’ll have a Will Smith, an alien blast and some fries."

I quickly scribble down Lily's order.

I’m gonna need all the energy I can get for tonight!”

I wonder what she means by that? Oh well....it's not as if she would explain to her sister is it?

"Oh, can I get a large fry, a piece of chocolate cake, and cherry coke with Tabasco please?"

"Sure" I say write the order down.

"So, are you going tonight Amy?"

"Apparantly. I don't have much choice now." I said still looking at my pad. "I'll be right back with your orders" I tell them.

I put the order in and get the drinks for them. God...when can I get ready for the party? I need to look....well....semi-decent...or in other words decent for me.

Fortunitely, Betty who takes over from my shift arrives at that moment. I give her a quick wave as she goes round the back to change. I walk over to Amy and say

"Your orders will be here in a moment...Amy...Im off my shift now....do you think...I could borrow ...something to wear" I say looking at the floor.

*Erik*

"Don't thank me yet, Erik. I'm going to be the third wheel which could cause things to be awkward for you and Christina. If you want, I could try and find a different ride? Besides, I'm bound to be even more nerved up, now."

I shake my head and pull out of the parking lot. "No Bre, don't find another ride." I glance over and give her a quick smile. "Besides, maybe we can help keep each other calm. I know I'm going to be a nervous wreck with her around."

I reach over and lay my hand on top of hers and give it a gentle squeeze.

"If he can't see what a great person you are...he's not worthy of your attention." I encourage her, knowing she's thinking about Christina's sibling. "You'll feel better once you get ready and we get there."

*Max*

I knew of Amy's crush with Oliver and can't say that I was happy about it. What father is when they realize that their little girl is growing up? I had hoped that Amy had outgrown her crush knowing Liz's feelings toward Tess. I knew Tess was happy, she'd long ago stopped coming after me once she realized that Liz was my life. She found Marcus and is living a happy, normal life. Something she never had growing up. But I never dreamed my daughter would be interested in one of her children. Thinking back to our lives, it was bound to happen. The eight of us have kept close. We've spent holidays and most memoriable events together. Why shouldn't some of our kids get involved with each other.

Liz was stressed about her talk with Amy. I wrapped my arms tighter around her.

"She's good enough for him, and maybe just a little too good for him." I try to comfort her. "I guess she's inherited more of my traits than I would like. But don't you remember being that age? Self confidence is not an easy thing to come by...at any age. It took me a long time to realize that."

I kiss her on the forehead affectionately. "I'll talk with her when I get the chance, ok? I'll see what I can do to help her along."

*Kyle*

Parking my patrol vehicle in the drive I see that my rebellious son is not yet home but Eileen's car is next to mine. I smile and get out of the SUV. There's nothing like coming home to a beautiful wife who I love dearly. Walking in the front door I call out.

"Honey...I'm home."

I wonder if our children are going to make their way to that party tonight. If so...that would mean I would have my wife all to myself. An appealing thought.
