Author's Note: 22222222 means that the lines that are in between were from the show. And I didn't write it. I kind of shortened the whole graduating scene because it is not the main focus of the story. If you would like to see the graduation scene then watch it sometime.

Chapter 2

Liz left Maria's to get changed and finished getting ready for graduation. She decided to tell Max about the baby the next time that they were alone. After the ceremony they were going to spend some time just to themselves, so she is going to tell him then.

Everyone, parents and graduates, were in the Roswell High School Theater. Graduates were taking there seats, trying to find were they are seated in alphabetical order and parents were talking among themselves before the ceremony starts.

"If you all will take your seats we can get started." – Principal Forester

After everyone was seated he continued.

"Thank you. First of all I would like to congratulate the graduating class of 2002."

The graduating class and parents claps their hands. After they are finished the principal continues.

"It is my pleasure to introduce our special guest for this evening, a three time Huego award winner for excellence in science fiction and an international best selling author, Bryce McCain."

Everyone clap except for Max, Liz, Maria, Kyle, Isabel, and Jesse. All of them looking at one another.

"My work is about the possibility of alien life, of course that is fiction. But the true is that we're all aliens really in our own way, especially in high school. So, …"

The FBI gets really to kill Max, Isabel, and Liz.

"When I sat down to write this speech I was struck by the summaries between what I do and the situation that you find yourselves in now. Believe in what could be about having faith, that life and the universe holds (Max stands up and walks onto the stage) more then what we perceive. As you contemplate…"

"You need to leave the building right now." - Max

"What?" - Bryce

"It's for your own safety. (He changes Bryce's speech to say "leave now for your own safety" in a much bigger font.) Just walk away."

Bryce walks away and off of the stage.

"Hi I am Max Evans. I though that I would take this opportunity to uh to say a few things on behave of myself and the graduating class (Shorts out the power and puts the spot light on him). Some of us are there tonight to walk across this stage (Liz and Maria get up and start walking out of the gym.) get our hard earned diplomas and throws our caps in the air. But there is another group here tonight, a group of people who are here for another reason altogether, they're here to say goodbye. Goodbye to their high school lives (Isabel says tells her parents and Jesse that she has to go.). Goodbye to their family and friends. You see this group has been through a lot and tonight is the night that they decide to call it quits. It has been a long hard road for them; they have a lot of wounds (Maria and Kyle leave, Liz looks back one more time and then leaves.) They've lost people, people that were close to them (Isabel looks back and then leaves). They've had each other to cling to, but tonight that is all coming to an end."

The rest of the FBI arrives.

"I'm a member of that group of…outsiders. I always knew I was different and for a long, long time all I wanted was to be another face in the crowd. But in the end it wasn't possible. I guess it never was. So from now on I'll just concentrate on being who I really am. Some of you might not like that, some of you might find that freighting, but that's not problem anymore. I have to be who I really am and let fate take care of the rest. So, thank you Roswell, thank you for letting me live among you. Thank you giving me a family. Thank you for giving me a home."

The FBI comes into the theater and so does Michael on the motorcycle. Michael picks up Max and they leave riding the motorcycle.

They all meet out in the desert. Jesse brings the van and then leaves. All six of the leave and they meet up with Valenti and he tells them that he give the FBI an anonymous tip about them going south to Mexico.

They all leave Roswell.

2222222222222222

They stopped at everyone place to get a few things before leaving. They were on the road not knowing where they were going, only driving in the opposite direction of what Valenti had told the FBI.

Liz was nervous she had to tell Max. She had planned on telling him after graduation. Well, it was after graduation, but they weren't alone and she didn't know when they were going to be alone. She wanted him to be the first to know. She had been quiet since they left. She knew that Maria knew that something was up. She just hopes that Maria thinks that it has something to do with leaving.

Max was driving and Liz was sitting in the passenger's staring out the window, wondering when she is going to be able to tell him.

"So, where are we going?" – Michael (From the back)

"I don't know. At this point we are just driving."

"Great plan Maxwell."

Truth was that Max didn't know where they were going. About four in the morning they decided to stop for a break. Everyone was tired, but they know that they couldn't stop at a motel now. They need to get more road between them and Roswell. Michael was driving now. Maria was in the back asleep against the window. Isabel was asleep on Kyle's shoulder and Kyle was almost asleep. Liz was laying with her head in Max's lap. Both of them were tired but they were just content on just being like this. Liz was still thinking when she is going to tell him. And if she remembered right about what Max had told her about a year ago about alien pregnancies, she better do it soon because she is probably going to be start to show soon.

Max was running his fingers through her hair.

"Are you ok?" (whispering) – Max

"Yeah." (whispering)

"You haven't said much since we left."

Liz just nodded her head. Max just thought that the reason she hadn't said much was because of the way that they left without saying goodbye to their parents. Liz turned her head to look at Max.

"Max, when are we going to stop and rest?"

"What do you need to us to stop so that you can use the restroom?"

"No, I didn't mean that stop and sleep in a motel or something"?

"Oh, maybe we should stop tomorrow night. We just need to drive a farther so that they won't find us."

"Ok."

They kissed and Liz went back to laying with her head in Max lap and fell asleep.

They drove all night and then in the morning they stopped and got cleaned up. Isabel offered to drive for a while and nobody objected. When they got on the road they talked about what they were going to do and where they were going to go.

"There is a place that I know that is out in the middle of nowhere?" – Liz

Everyone looked at her curiously, except Maria because she knew exactly where she was talking about.

"Liz, we are so far away from there and we are going in the wrong direction." – Maria

"True, but we could just continue to drive around for a while just to throw them off and then go."

"True."

Everyone else was lost. Michael had had enough.

"What are you two talking about?"

"My Grandma Claudia's house, well actually it is my house."

"What!" - Everyone

Isabel turned her head around and turned the wheel a little and the van swerved.

"Sorry." (Getting back on the road and control of the van.)

"What do you mean it is your house?" – Max

"Grandma Claudia gave it to me in her Will because she knew how much have I liked the house."

"So where is this house?"

"Almost to the California boarder in Arizona." - Liz

"No way. That is right next to New Mexico."

"I agree, they will be looking in the surrounding states."

"I didn't say that we have to go there tomorrow. We could just drive around for a while and then go to the house. And beside they would never be able to found this house, trust me."

They all agreed that they would drive around the western United States before going to the house.
