Remember Me
This takes place before the season finale, and before Alex was killed.
Note: * means that someone is thinking a thought.

Max walked into the Crashdown and looked around. *I wish that Liz was here...wait, what was I just thinking? I wish that.... oh well, I'll probably remember later.* He was looking around when he saw Tess, his girlfriend and fellow alien walk into the room. He had been in love with Tess since before she had moved there. He had always known that there was someone special out there for him, and when Tess had come to Roswell, he knew he had found her. Well, at least part of him had. But sometimes at night, Max would get these dreams - dreams about another girl whom he had loved very deeply, and whom Tess had pushed away. But he could never remember who the girl was the morning afterwards. And the dreams had been more and more frequent in the past couple weeks. However, now was not the time to think about the dreams, he had to concentrate on talking to Tess. *Wow! She looks great today!*
"Hey babe! What are you doing?" Tess asked Max.
"Just waiting for you, hon, while trying to decide what to get today," Max replied with a sly grin.
"Why don't you order what you get everyday, babe? Or were you in the mood for something different?"
" I don't know, I guess I'm really not that hungry, so I'll have just a soda." Max said.
Maria walked over to take their orders than took them to the kitchen where Michael was waiting. While she walked, Maria thought about Liz and wondered how she was doing down in Florida. She had left after Tess and Max had started to get closer and Maria missed her terribly. Maria often thought about her and also about Max. She would wonder why Max had picked Tess over Liz, whose life he had saved just a year ago. But Max hardly ever mentioned Liz and when he did it was almost as if he hadn't remembered ever loving her.
Alex walked into the Crashdown with Isabel on his arm. They had gotten really close during the past few months and had started dating. They were laughing as they entered and Maria noticed that Alex seemed really happy. The two walked over to where Max and Tess were, but then decided to sit by themselves. Isabel knew that Tess was one of her kind, but didn't like her as much as she had liked Liz, a human being. Isabel knew that Max had gone through some difficult times and that Tess had been there for him, but still, she couldn't shake the feeling that Tess was doing something wrong. Maria walked over to their table to take the orders and Isabel was startled out of her thoughts.
"And what can I get you fine people today?" Maria asked jokingly
"Well, miss," Alex replied in a formal tone, "what would you say the best dish here is?"
"Why the plain old Alien Burger of course! And we've even gotten new ketchup; it's green to match the alien theme!"
"We'll take two then please!" Alex said before staring at Isabel and wondering how he had gotten the best girl in the world as his girlfriend. *I just wish Liz was here to be happy with us,* he thought. *But I guess it's better this way. She doesn't have to see Tess and Max together everyday where she is. I wonder though if se ever misses the rest of us.* He was aroused from his thoughts as Maria came back with their meals.
After the day was over, Tess and Max went to a movie. Isabel and Alex stayed with Maria and Michael to help clean up. Kyle Valenti was also there. He knew the secret of the aliens along with Maria and Alex. After they had cleaned up they all sat around talking. Their favorite topic of interest was Max, and how he had changed.
"I think it's creepy how much he was in love with Liz and then BAM! He was just as obsessed with Tess," Kyle said.
"Yeah, and I happen to think that Tess has something to do with this. I know she supposed to be considered my sister-in-law at home, but I really don't think that Max would love her here on earth. We don't know exactly how much power she has or even exactly what powers she has," Isabel threw in.
"I agree," Maria started to say, "plus...." The ringing of the telephone interrupted her. "Crashdown Café, I'm sorry we're closed right now, could you please call back tomorrow during our hours?"
"Maria, is that you?" the voice on the other end of the phone said.
"Lizzie?" Maria gasped.
"Yeah, it's me! I miss Roswell. I'm coming home. Could you meet me at the airport tomorrow with my parents? The whole gang can come too, if they want."
"Sure, babe. I can't believe it!"
"Yeah. Me neither, but hey, I'll talk with you later. Bye! See ya tomorrow!" Liz hung up. Maria turned around to see everyone in the Crashdown staring at her. They had all heard the word Liz and instantly become interested. They all asked Maria a barrage of questions. But she could only say one thing.
"Liz is coming home tomorrow!"
