Hello fellow fanfiction writers and readers, here is the very first chapter for the sequel of Roswell: A New Tale. As usual I own nothing except new characters and ideas, I make no money from writing, and all rights go to the rightful owners. Thanks for reading, please leave a review!

My son and my daughter are gone but deep down I know that we will see them both again, they said they would return and I never doubted them. I knew Crimson was meant for something great, I just thought it would be on Earth not in a new galaxy far from me. She will help Maxwell lead his planet into war and into a new reign. For so many months I was worried that she was always reading books on war, on royalty, and birthing but now we know why. Even with all this information it makes nothing better.

I stand in a pure black suit alongside Fiona, her hands resting on her belly.

Today was a mass funeral, the kids would be buried together. Sheriff Jim Valenti and I, we did what we had to do. We didn't want the kids looking bad so he found a drunk driver with a long list of crimes who shouldn't be free, it looked like he smashed his Ford into the Jeep killing everyone in the process. Now the entire town is here watching as nine caskets covered in floral arrangements are waiting, many stand and others are further way. Maria, Sydney, and Brody stand with us. Maria was crying; she lost her best friends in some way, she may have gained a life worth living but there would always be a missing puzzle piece they filled.

Amy hugs her daughter close, Maria would overcome this. But right now, so many are crushed, Diane and Phillip are inconsolable thinking the children they adored and loved are gone. Isabel and Maxwell's last wish would be done soon enough. Liz's dad stands with me, Jeff lost his reason it seems as tears much like mine cascade down his face, his wife Nancy looks forlorn, her eyes vacant.

I stand, "Thank you all for coming, it would make them so happy. Six days ago, we lost nine members of our families, you lost nine friends, sons, daughters. New laws are coming into effect we will not suffer another blow like this. These nine wonderful and happy teens and adults were taken from us too soon, my son was just married to his high school sweetheart, Isabel Evans a future lawyer. My daughter was set to be a doctor and marry Bren Guerin, Liz Evens was going to turn this town upside down with her journalism along with Maxwell, Kyle like his father before him was going to keep this town safe, Tess was also looking into a career in law. Michael and Bren, they might have been rough around the edges but they had so much love to give, and they did to my daughter, they wanted to be security officers and they lived that dream for a short time." I paused the words getting caught in my throat.

Fiona spoke, "I loved each one of the nine killed, we can't let their tragic deaths tear us down. We will honor them, I will honor my family, each one of them."

Next was Jim, "Kyle was going to marry Tess. I was happy, even after being a single father I finally felt I did right by my boy. I will miss them all every day, I will honor them." there was not a dry eye in the cemetery.

Maria moved forward her hands shaking, "I was supposed to be with them that night, but I backed out. I will honor their memory, the best friends I have ever had, my family is torn apart. Liz, Alex, Crimson, and I grew up together now I am all that is left-" her words cut off as fresh sobs wracked her, Brody just held her with Sydney.

"My only peace of mind is my daughter and the others didn't feel pain, that my Lizzy didn't feel any pain, that she wasn't alone and scared. In the end, she was with the people she loved and that loved her. I am thankful every day she had these people in her life, they made it worth living. I am thankful Maria was spared the same fate, this isn't goodbye baby girl, it is still see you later alligator." Jeff was never a man who spoke in crowds but his words had us all thinking, he was right they weren't alone they are together.

I watched as my son and daughter are lowered into the ground, my heart breaking as everyone filed to the high school where the reception is being held. A hand on my shoulder stops me, it's only Brody but he looks very serious, his face devoid.

"I am Larek from the five worlds, Crimson and Alex are safe on our home world, she sends her love. I am sorry for your loss, but fear not human after the war and Earth is safe they will visit you."

Then he was Brody again, rather confused but himself as he hugged Maria closer, Maria just gave me a small nod as I joined Jeff and Fiona.

A week has passed with Fiona and I feeling it was time to start with Diane and Phillip then later today go see Jeff and Nancy.

I was tired, the town was slow in getting back to normal, what made it worse was the government and my own job. Men in black suites came and some are still here, I knew what they were looking for but their chance is long gone.

So, here Fiona and I stand as she gives their bell a ring. Diane smiled hugging Fiona once the door was opened, "May we come in, we need to talk." all happiness aside, she understood something was wrong letting us pass her the sounds of the locks could be heard.

Diane called, "Phillip, come down we have company."

I sit with my wife holding the vhs tape, praying this went well, this was so much to take in.

I smiled "Hey, Phillip. Sorry to just barge in but we have a serious matter to discuss with you. I think it best you watch this tape, Maxwell and Isabel left it with me."

Diane was the first up nearly shoving it into the player, then Maxwell was on the screen smiling as Diane sobbed touching his face through the television set.

Maxwell spoke, "Hey mom and dad, I am sorry. If you're watching this I am gone and so is Isabel. You have been the best parents we could have ever wanted, I am so sorry." his words faltered as Liz, their son, and Isabel sit with him.

Isabel smiled, her eyes so glossy, "I love you both so very much, but we have something to tell you. You both always wondered why Max was so different, why I was so happy. I had you mom, you were like the sun to me, the day you and daddy adopted us you wore a yellow sundress. Maxwell and I are from Antar, we aren't fully human, you knew something was special about us. I know this is so much to take in but we're not dead, we faked the entire thing with the help of Jim Valenti and Crimsons father." then it happened, everything around Isabel moved around, the pictures flying nearly hitting Max as he smiled.

His hand raised as green light poured, "I am sorry, please forgive us. We love you."

Diane was crying as Phillip just looked on as Liz spoke, "This is Zander, he is the son of Maxwell, or as he is known on the five worlds; King Zan. You raised him with love and humanity, thank you. I wish things could have been different but with the white room and death coming we had no choice but to escape back to their home world of Antar."

That was it, I took the tape, "I have to destroy this."

Fiona was consoling Diane, "I don't care what they are, those are my babies." was wailed as Phillip and I moved to the kitchen.

"I am sorry, I had to the government was onto them and their safety was all I could think of. Liz, Kyle, Alex, and Crimson aren't human any more, not sure how but they aren't all I know is they're safe on Antar. Isabel and Max will return to see you, just be understanding they are still your kids, leaving you nearly killed Isabel." my hand on his shoulder.

"We need to burn this; my kids will never be safe here. But I will welcome them home."

"`First we need to visit Jeff and Nancy."

Jeff was broken down, we sit at the counter as he read her journal, he thought it best that Nancy never knew, she was not the same. He thought when Liz returned and she saw her daughter safe she could be told. He cried but he smiled, handing me the journal.

On the last page was instructions to Vasquez rocks.

At ten O'clock we five stand together seeing the formation, somewhere in those rocks was the pod chambers where my daughter-in-law and my future son's in law were born, where Maxwell was born. The flames are high as Jeff tossed in the journal.

"Until I see you again, baby girl."

Diane and Phillip are next the tape burning making the fire leap higher, "I am so proud of you both, please come home soon."

"I will be waiting for you all to return, we will always honor and love you."

Jim joined us tossing in every records of the nine five kids, Alex, Kyle, Liz, and Crimson are safer.

"I will be waiting, son."

Maria stood with us tossing in a picture of her and Michael, "For you it was always her and for me it was always Brody, I will miss you all so much."

Tonight was another one filled with longing, hurt, and the pain of loss. But tonight was about coming of age, and the prospect of a return.
