Here is chapter four. Big thankyous to: Gifted Empress, ParkerEvanss and magiclighting for their reviews and ideas.
Diclaimer: I don't own Roswell.
After spending the night in some cheap run down hotel. It was decided by the four aliens that some more investigating needed to be done before the confrontation with the others. Lonnie and Ava had decided that they were going to go back to the Evans and check out Isabel's room this time. Rath had decided that he was for the school and Zan was going to follow the Sheriff that seemed to know so much about the others.
(Evans' house)
As Lonnie and Ava were looking through the things in Isabel's room. There was a knock at the door and Mr Evan's walked in. Ava dived behind the bed befor he could see her but Lonnie didn't have time to react.
"Izzie?" he asked.
"Hey...Dad." She said guessing that this was this mans relation to her dupe.
"What happened to you? You look like some...rapper on TV. Like that, uh, Queen Latisha." He said shocked at her outfit.
"Queen Latifah." She corrected.
"Tell me that's not a tattoo." He said not even hearing her last comment when he saw the symbols that had been painted on her body.
"Chill, Dad. It's henna. It'll wash off." She chuckled. "Ok. No, no...you know what? I'll tell you the truth. I ain't really Isabel." She confessed. Ava was shocked by this decleration and raised her hand behind the bed so that she could blast him. She didn't like to hurt people but if she had to, to keep her family safe she would and without hesitation.
"You're not?" Phillip said looking confused. "No. I'm...Juliet. See, school's doing this kinda rock 'n' roll version of Romeo and Juliet, and, well..." Lonnie quickly covered.
"And my daughter's playing Juliet? That's great, honey!" He laughed. "The smell of the grease paint. The roar of the crowd. I took theater, too. I was Puck my senior year." He said happy for his daughter.
"Totally epic, Dad." Lonnie said getting quickly bored with the conversation.
"Ha! You certainly got that jive down. No, but I'm glad that you've...taken an interest in something, honey. But, I wish your brother would."
"Max? Yeah, he seems so, uh..." Lonnie said he interest perked at the mention of the other Zan.
"Tense. No, I'm worried about him. Even the therapy's not helping him...though obviously it's helping you." He said.
"Yeah, a shrink. But he is...helping me...to find myself." She said inwardly gagging.
"I was thinking...perhaps you and Max could have a joint session to work out whatever's come between you."
"I didn't think you'd noticed." Lonnie said. She was now very interested. Did Max and Isabel not get along? Perhaps her dupe was more like Vilandra. They would have to watch her.
"The doors slamming, the silence at the dinner table? Oh...I've never seen you fight like this." He said.
"Well, I'd really like to work it out." Lonnie said figuring that her and Ava had better leave before her other self got home.
"Promise me you'll consider it? The joint session?" He asked. Lonnie just nodded in response. Mr Evans patted her on the knee and then left the room. Ava cam out from behind the bed.
"Yeah, ok. Ha. A shrink? How whack is that, yo?" Lonnie said.
"So...Max's a head case. What are we supposed to do now?" Ava said.
"We tell Zan let him decide. He's the king. Lets get outta here yo." Lonnie said dragging Ava out the window.
(Rath finds Liz at school)
"Whassup? You look tight." He said leering at her.
"Excuse me? Did...oh, my God, Michael! What is with your hair?" She said laughing.
"I wouldn't mind kickin' it to ya." He said wondering why she wasn't going for his advances.
"Kickin' it. Yeah." She said not understanding him.
"Whaddaya say you give me a little somethin' somethin', huh?" He waggling his tongue at her.
"Oh, my God! Get away from me! What is going on with you?" Liz said half amused half astonished.
"I just thought since Maxie wasn't around that we could, uh..." Rath improvised.
"Just stop, ok?" Liz said realising that he was totally serious.
"Ai-ight. You got me. I just...I just wanted to see, you know, if you'd go for it, and you..." Rath said pretending it was all a joke.
"No. It's not gonna happen...ever." Liz said making it very clear.
"Of course not." He concurred. Liz turned around to leave and Rath grabbed her by the waist and kissed her soundly.
"Uhhh. Oh, my God! Eww!" Liz said as she hurried away to class.
"Epic" Rath said and then made his way towards the entrance of the school.
The four met up again later on in the day to discuss their findings. Zan and Rath had nothing to report. Sheriff Valenti had spent the morning to Sheriff stuff, nothing unusual. Rath just said that he had found nothing. Ava and Lonnie told them about what Max's dad had said. This was the moment of truth. Were they to side with them or to go it alone. All four looked to Zan for a decision.
"I know Max has planned a meeting with the other aliens tomorrow, I heard him tell Michael bout it. We'll go to that meetin and just watch and listen. I'll make the decision then." He said. Ava slipped her hand into Zan's showing him that she knew that whatever decision he made would be the right one. He turned and looked into her eyes staring into the brown soulful depths and felt their connection instantly flare to life. Rath and Lonnie sensed this and left knowing that their was no use in talking to either one now because they were so emersed in each other.
Please continue to review people. I hope you are still enjoying this.
