Disclaimer: I do not own Roswell or any of the characters although I would like to own many of the guys..hehe. But here in my little world I control them or at least like to pretend I do.

Hey all this is my first attempt at Roswell Fanfiction. I've been reading it long enough I figured that I would finally try to contribute. It just makes it so hard because there are so many stories and I am so afraid of doing one that seems as familiar as another. Well that's all for now. I hope yall enjoy what I've come up with so far. Let me know ~CHRISTINA

Prologue

"Promise me, Isabel." Maria spoke quietly as the tears continued to run down her dirt streaked face.

"I don't know if that's something I can do with any certainty. I don't know what will happen once we leave here." Isabel cried in distress.

"I need to think that by doing this that he will be okay. That he will have a family that loves him without any doubt. I'd rather go on without him and kid myself into believing that he will be taken care of. I worked so hard during our time to make sure he knew; now I need you to make sure that you and Max will take care of him." Maria continued.

"I'll try my best to make sure he is okay. Hopefully this time around," Isabel paused, "Maybe this time he'll come with me and Max and he won't end up with Hank." She finished softly.

"I just want to make sure is all. And if yall happen to follow your destiny this time around, just know that it's okay. As long as he's taken care of that's all that matters. If I never get the chance to love him I want to believe that someone is. I want to believe that yall will be okay. And I want you to know in this moment, even though everything is going wrong, I cannot regret anything that happened between the eight of us. Just know that you became one of my best friends and someone I consider closer than a sister. Even though we had to run from everything, we were all closer than almost any family. Just pray that hopefully this time around we get something right. I also hope that we can somehow be friends without the danger." Maria continued.

"I know and I want the same thing. I also know that if the rest of them were here with us they'd agree about the family thing. Just…I hope that something will make us be closer. I was so mad when Max healed Liz at first but now looking back I couldn't regret that moment for anything because of everything you, Liz, Kyle, and especially Alex brought to my life. We spent so long looking for a home when we already had one with a family. That would be my only regret, not taking every moment, in the beginning for what it was worth. I know now that we wasted time looking for something we already had. You have to promise me the same thing Maria. Promise me that you will take care and protect Alex. I need you to make sure that yall follow yalls dreams and promise not to let anything or anyone stand in the way of your happiness. I need to know that you will be okay. Now I guess we need to see how this thing works and how we get to where we need to be. I never thought we would actually be here. I thought that we could defeat the human enemies because we already defeated our alien counterparts. Now, I guess this is our final goodbye, huh?" Isabel smirked as her beautiful eyes shimmered in the light of the granolith.

"Yeah, the only urgency we have is to get back to those who loved us. I hope this time we can stay with them." Maria agreed.

"Do you think things would have been different had we listened to Nasedo and followed Destiny? Do you think that they would all still be alive had we listened?" Isabel stuttered nervously.

Maria gave a sad smile as she shook her head, "No, honestly I do not think it would have made a difference either way. We all agreed that we would choose our own path. And even if you all followed it there was never any guarantee that we would have won in any situation. I think we did the best we could with the knowledge that we had. There was a reason you were sent here Isabel and we may have not learned everything but we learned the really important things in life and that's all that really matters."

"Yeah, I guess you're right. I think this may be the last time I have the chance to say Thank You and that I love you for everything you gave to all of us." Isabel told her with quiet dignity.

"There is nothing to thank me for. Everything I did was out of love for all of yall." Maria replied.

And as both girls embraced, the granolith slowly started building in power listening to the girls hopes of their changed timeline. And high above the place where all their dreams were changing the stars brightened as the granolith started the journey. The girls were going back to a time that they couldn't remember, to a time that hopefully would give the aliens and their human friends a chance to make things right and to live a happy life.

~ Another time, another place~

In the dead of night with the air clear and the stars twinkling there was a bright light as four little humans sat straight up from their beds gasping for air. And just a few miles out of town in an outcropping of rocks, 4 little alien children were breaking out of their pods. And this is where the journey of the combined pod squad would begin in the little town of Roswell
