Pairing: Maria and Michael

Disclaimer: I do not own Roswell.

During the last episode. Review and oh, I don't know how to spell checklovacian…so if you can let that slide that would be great!

Maria and Michael were left staring beyond the crystal blue water.

The others were getting ready to leave Roswell…forever.

Forever…now that's a long time. Michael thought as he rubbed his fingers through his hair.

He glanced at Maria. "Why aren't you going to see your Mom?" Michael asked, as she winced at the sound of the word.

"I can't…I'll get too attached and I've already made my decision"

Michael let her lean into his chest. He felt warm tears glide on to his jacket and let her go.

"You know…" He coughed. "That I'll always be there for you, right? I mean…I chose you…and I love you"

She smiled. Michael noticed that was the first grin he's seen in a while…especially on her. She wore it well.

Marias mind had made her decision when he first abducted her in her mother's car… this checkslovakianwasn't so bad after all.

"Space boy…you're one confusing guy"

He laughed.

"But you're my confusing guy"

Michael kissed her forehead.

"And you're my neurotic girlfriend"

He felt a slap against his left shoulder, but a slight giggle.

"Forever and always, babe" He heard her say.
