Chapter One

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

`*`~`*`

Things at the Crashdown where busy and Liz and Maria were flat out busy. Whose genius idea was it to hold a medical convention in Roswell? Doctors from all over the country where pouring through the doors in a steady stream. From across the diner Liz saw Maria taking someone's order, looking as if she very much wanted to stab them with it. When she had the order and had given it to Jose – who had the misfortune of working the grill today – Maria headed over to Liz who was filling up glass after glass of cherry cola. "Remind me again why Agnes couldn't come into work today." Maria bit out in what could possibly be considered a growl.

With a sigh Liz handed two drinks to their only other working today, Daphne, before turning to her friend. "Because. Apparently her husband Monty is sick again and she needed the time off." The two both knew this was a blatant lie. Agnes always took time off when their where too many people. "Funny how he always manages to get sick just when a convention comes to town huh?" Maria and Liz shared exasperated smiles before going back to work.

Things didn't improve as the day raged on, how could their possibly be this many doctors in the country? And a better question, how could they all fit in her families restaurant? As the bell above the door chimed Liz looked up, expecting to see more of the stuffy men, but she was pleasantly surprised to see the girl she had met last week, Kat Stratford. Sliding up to her with the most innocent and pleading smile she could manage she uttered the most dangerous words to a new friendship. "I need a favour."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"No, no, no, no, no, no." Kat uttered in horror as she stared down at the uniform Liz had managed to coerce her into. The uniform was one of Liz's and since she was slightly shorter then Kat it fell halfway up her thigh then at the knee level it was supposed to. "Not gonna happen Parker." Kat hissed and reached towards her clothes, unfortunately they were snatched up by a desperate looking Maria.

"Please, please, please Kat!" She cried franticly, even going so far as to put her hands in the praying motion. "You do this I will never complain about those Filthy Souls guys you listen to again." That did sound tempting, all week that she had known Maria they had been arguing over the band, which was odd considering Maria loved all of her other music.

The two other girls were staring at Kat with puppy dog expressions, looking as if the world would cave in if she didn't do this for them. If she remembered correctly her sister had mastered the look at only three years old and had had their father wrapped around her finger. Back on track. "Fine." The simple utterance sent the Roswell natives into squeals of delight. "But," That stopped them. "I have to wear my hoody tied around my waist. I feel weird enough in this thing already." The two nodded and jumped on her in a group hug before handing Kat her order book, alien antenna headband and of course her hoody. When she was as ready as she was gonna be she pushed open the door that led into the diner and approached the masses, wasn't like it was her first time working as a waitress.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Closing time came and as soon as the last customer was out and the door was locked the three girls practically fell into a booth. "Long day." Maria let out with a huff of air, absently running her hand through her short cropped blond hair. The other two just nodded along their agreement.

"You know Kat, you did really well here today." By no means did Kat like Liz's tone of voice. "How would you like to work here? We've been looking for a new waitress and you proved today that you can handle yourself.

A dignified groan came from Kat. She did need the money and her father would be pleased at her having found a job. "When do I start?" She asked in a low voice. Maria and Liz exchanged glanced before making loud whooping noises. For the past two weeks they had been taking extra shifts to make up for the waitress they were missing.

"Any chance you could start tomorrow?" At Kat's nod Liz continued on. "Okay so you need to be in by eight o'clock and while the Medical Convention just finished a whole heap of people will be coming in again tomorrow for the Crash Festival." Kat shot a Liz a questioning glance, what the hell was the Crash Festival? "It where the town hold a re-enactment of the '47 crash in Roswell, practically everyone in town goes. Anyway, You'll have to work from eight to two tomorrow. Sound good?"

Kat tried to decode exactly what it was that Liz had just told her. The girl could talk at the speed of light. Once she had the general gist of what she had said she gave a minute shrug of her shoulders and a nod. "I can do that." A yawn broke what she was saying. "Right now though I really need to sleep." Maria nodded and in agreement and the two of them headed out the backdoor since Liz lived above the Crashdown and didn't need to go anywhere.

"Night 'Ria." Kat groaned out tiredly before walking down the street to her left while Maria went right.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Okay kind of short but this was more of a filler chapter. So now Kat's got a job and The Crash Festival is coming up next chapter, anyone who's seen the show knows what that means. I promise I'll try and get some alien goodness into the next chapter. Wait, scratch that. I WILL get the aliens into the next chapter.

watchtower42 – Woo someone else who doesn't really like the Max/Liz pairing. Good on ya for getting in Polar, I think they are epic. *wink* And I added some Maria, hope you liked it.

pinkbananasmoothie – You've hardly watched Roswell *shock horror* go out right now and hire out the first season girl! Haha Yes Kat and Patrick are one of the best couples ever! And I had to have Patrick in the story so I thought, "what better way than to make him an alien?" really hope no one steals that idea. *grin* And 10Things crossovers are awesome, even if I've only read one other.

RemyKilday – I didn't mind them at first but after a few episodes I was just like, yawn. I'll make sure and keep the Liz/Michael story interesting for you. Thanks for reviewing I absolutely love your crossover, it's kinda what inspired me to write this one so I am officially dedicating this chapter to you.

-Skye 89 – Thanks glad you liked it. Hope this chapter was good enough.

Lena Betta – Glad you like the story idea. *grin* Yay Polar fans unite. Haha I think the problem with Liz and Max is that they tried to be too dramatic, just let em hook up and have a few problems, not as many as they had to go through in reality. Aww thanks for your support hun *hug*

mshrmit – Like I said to pinkbananasmoothie go out and hire Roswell! Glad that you think I'm describing the Roswell crowd well, I was a little worried with Liz's character cause she's so different from me in real life. Haha hope you enjoyed this chapter.
