Chapter 1

Isabel Voice-Over: I'm Isabel Evans. It's been five months since Alex died and Tess is finally gone. Not much has changed except that I married Jesse Ramirez. At times I'm not sure if that was the right thing to do because every now and then I catch myself thinking about what could've been had Alex not died. Oh yea, here's where it gets interesting. That fantasy of what could've been has now become a reality, so much for a simple, normal life in Roswell.

What Could've Been World

It's the day after prom. Isabel is asleep in her room when Max comes in.

Max: Hey Iz, time to get up. You have a visitor downstairs.

Isabel: Who?

Max: Who do you think? It's Alex. Come on he's waiting. (Isabel immediately sits up when she hears the name Alex.)

Isabel: Alex? Don't you mean Jesse?

Max: No, I mean Alex. Who's Jesse?

Isabel: You know, Jesse. Jesse Ramirez, the twenty-six year old Latino lawyer that works for dad's firm, the guy that I'm married too?

Max: Okay a.) You're not married and b.) Dad doesn't have a man named Jesse Ramirez working for him. (Isabel has a confused look on her face) Are you okay Iz?

Isabel: Yea, yea, I'm fine. What day is it?

Max: April 30th.

Isabel: 30th! Isn't today the day...

Max: After prom night? Yea it is. (Max heads for the door) Oh, I forgot to mention, we're going to triple date tonight, you and Alex, Michael and Maria, and me and Liz.

Isabel: You're back with Liz? What happened to you and Tess?

Max: You must've taken a serious blow to the head last night for you not to remember.

Isabel: Remember what? Max: Last night during the prom, we all had to leave early since Nicholas was there. We followed him into a dark alley, each of us used our powers but for some reason Tess decided to use her mind-warp ten minutes longer than us. I guess with all of that power it drained her completely killing both her and Nicholas. I tried reviving her but it was too late. Okay enough about that get dressed. Alex is waiting. (Max leaves the room and closes the door behind him.)

Isabel: Where am I? (5 minutes later Isabel walks into the living room.)
