Disclaimer: All credit goes to Jason Katims for Roswell, and Melinda Metz, the author of Roswell High, which started it all. And I don't own the Song "Don't Be Stupid" Please don't hurt me Shania Twain, I want to live to see my first godchild... And all rights to the movie "Aladdin" belong to Disney and all it's other companies Summary: Ok, summary. it's kind of an alternate universe, but not. Pretty much everything is the same leading up to graduation, except Alex is alive, and Tess obviously never killed him, betrayed the group, got pregnant, .. (You get the picture) Part 1 is just before graduation and explains how some things are different because of the changes above. Part 2 and on are a few years in the future and will explain when and where and all that fun stuff.
Author's Notes: This is my first story involving a song, so please let me know what you think. There are a few slight changes to the song, as I did it as I thought they would sing it as Karaoke. And people do usually tend to change a word or two to make the song fit them... thanx
Chapter 1
"Hey Chica, what's up?" Liz looked up as Maria walked in the restaurant.
"Not much, just finishing these." Liz said gesturing to the ketchup bottles she was in the middle of refilling.
"Uggh, I can't wait for school to be over in a week, then we are free, free of West Roswell High, and free of alien themed restaurants." Maria said with a grin as she jumped up to sit on the counter next to where Liz was working. "So you packed yet?" She asked with a grin.
"Not any more than you Maria, or any of the others that is. Except Tess." She said with a smile.
When Tess first came to Roswell, no one would have believed the four girls would become best friends by their Senior Year, especially after Tess and Max kissed at the Prom during their Junior Year. But, that kiss actually did some good. Max finally remembered all of their past, and was able to truly convince Isabel that Velondria didn't betray them, which came in handy when Kivar came looking for her. And, Tess realized that she and Max didn't belong together, she'd known it in her heart for sometime, but all those years of Neusado telling her otherwise were hard to get past.
Now, she and Max were as close as ever, and preparing to go to Harvard together. And Tess, well sometimes Liz wondered if there was something with Kyle and her, even though Kyle had said he thought of her only as a sister. Every now and again, Liz wondered differently.
"Liz, chica, come back to earth."
"Huh, oh sorry Maria. What were you saying?"
"Yeah, well I was wondering what she's going to do while the rest of us are away at school. None of us are going to be close by, I can't imagine being stuck here without anyone in the group."
"I know, I can't imagine being anywhere without someone from the group nearby." Liz said with a sigh. "It would be so lonely in Boston if Max wasn't going to be there, at least I'll see one friendly face everyday."
"I know, I still can't believe Michael is going to New York with me. I thought he would never agree to come in a million years."
"I know, especially with Billy there." Liz said with a wink. Both girls knew Maria had absolutely no feelings for Billy, but when Billy had visited earlier that year, well Michael wasn't so sure of that. He still didn't know what was going on where Billy was concerned, and Maria didn't see the sense in bringing it up.
Maria smiled in reply. "Speaking of packing and such, I wonder how Iz is going to get all her stuff to L.A.?" she mused.
"Same as always, U-HAUL." Liz said with a smile. The girls in the alien group had an inside joke regarding Isabel's multitude of belongings. When Iz had been debating if she would graduate early, she started looking into ways of moving her stuff to California. The only sensible one they had found was with the use of her powers. But, then she decided to stay and finish her Senior Year with the group.
Just before school started, Tess had decided she needed to move out of the Valenti home, and invited the girls to move into an apartment with her. Maria jumped at the chance, especially since her mom was really getting serious with Mr. Valenti, who had rejoined the Force. Liz wanted to, but couldn't as she was still 17, being the youngest in the group. Isabel had debated for a day or two, before deciding to go as well. It took some convincing, but Maria and Iz had been able to convince their parents to let them move out, and started making plans as to how to get everything into the apartment Tess had found.
As they were preparing to move their furniture, Mr. Evens decided to ask the girls how they planned to accomplish the feat of moving Isabel's furniture.
:-:-: Flashback :-:-:
"I still can't believe were moving into our own apartment." Maria exclaimed.
"I know, but then again, we're finally free of overbearing parents if we are a few minutes late, or on those wonderful alien side trips." Iz said with a smile.
"So true, at least for you guys." Liz said sarcastically, but smiling just the same.
"Relax chica, you can join us as soon as you turn 18, and that is only three weeks from now." Maria said with a smile.
"Yeah, so when do you want to start moving things in, and what would be the quickest way?" Liz asked
"Well, when I was going to California, I realized that the easiest way would be through powers." Iz said looking around her room.
"Well, that works for me." Tess said quickly.
"Ok with me." Maria chipped in.
"Ok, so when do you want to start?" Liz asked.
"Tomorrow morning." Iz suggested
"What about tomorrow morning?"
The four turned around as one and looked at Mr. Evens in shock.
"We were thinking we'd start moving stuff tomorrow morning." Liz said quickly.
"Oh, ok. So how are you going to move it all there?"
"Umm.." Liz mumbled, and Iz looked around frantically.
"U-Haul." Maria said quickly, and the girls looked at her in shock.
"Really?" Mr. Evens asked.
"Yeah dad, they're having a really great deal right now."
"Ok, well I have to run to the office. I'll see you tonight."
"Ok, bye dad." Iz said as he left, then turned to Maria. "U-Haul?"
"Yeah, you haul. We're doing the work, with your powers."
The three girls looked at her in shock, then Liz started to giggle. Within minutes all of them were laughing hysterically.
:-:-:Present:-:-:
"Those days were crazy." Maria said with a laugh.
"I know, so what do you want to do this weekend, it's girl's night again." Liz asked
"Hmm, I don't know. We'll just have to ask everyone when they get here." Maria said as Liz finished the last container.
:-:-:-:-:-:
"I want a tattoo."
Everyone looked at Tess in shock. "You want a what?" Liz sputtered.
"A tattoo, something to do while we're still in high school and for the first time in our lives can be officially called a 'crazy teenager'."
"You know, that sounds like fun. I've always wanted one too."
"Maria! That's crazy, even for you." Isabel said softly, though she really didn't seem to mean it. "Know what, I want one too."
"There's a great place one main street, they're the cleanest."
"Elizabeth Claudia Parker, how do you know where there is a good tattoo shop?" Maria asked in shock.
"Well, I've been checking them out, and saving some money." she said with a shrug.
"Oh my God, it's a miracle. Liz Parker is coming to the dark side." Maria exclaimed laughing evilly.
"Oh Maria, stop that." Liz said with a smile.
"So, should we go?" Iz asked smiling.
"Yeah, lets go." Tess agreed, as she stood up.
:-:-:-:-:-:
Twenty minutes later they sat in the tattoo parlor. Everyone finally had made their decisions as to what they wanted, although they had all decided to keep it a secret and surprise each other. Then they were going to surprise the guys on Monday after the bandages came off, until then they would stay at the apartment and have an all out girls only weekend.
"Alright, you four ready?" the women said stepping out of one of the back rooms.
"Yeah, we're ready." Maria said as they stood up.
"Alright, Liz, you're with me, Isabel you're with Nancy, and Maria's with John, and Tess is with Kevin. Everyone set?" the women continued. Everyone nodded in agreement, "Alright, lets have some fun."
