It's the next morning and Liz, Maria and Alex are eating breakfast at The Crashdown. Liz looks exhausted.
"I have to go. My mom wanted me home early, bye girls." Alex gets up and leaves.
"Bye Alex"
"Hey chica, I have to start working. You should go upstairs and get some sleep."
"Yeah, I think I will go lie down."
Liz walks up the stairs and goes into her room. Instead of sleeping she decides to take a bath.
Maria is downstairs waitressing by herself. The place is pretty much empty. The bell on the door rings and she looks up to see who is coming in. A tall, dark and handsome man walks in. 'That guy would be perfect for Liz,' thinks Maria as he sits down at the counter.
"What can I get for you?" she asks sweetly.
"Well, I'm new here… what do you recommend?"
"Well most people like the Will Smith burger."
"Will Smith burger it is."
"Ok. I'll be right back."
She goes and gets the burger and gives it to him.
"So what brings you to Roswell?"
"Well I used to live in the area when I was little. Then I moved to Boston. I decided to come out and visit my old home during summer break."
"This is going to sound weird, and I know she will probably kill me, but I have this friend who would be perfect for you. I think you two would really hit it off. So I was wondering if you would maybe want to meet her. You see, she got dumped by like the love of her life a month and a half ago and she hasn't been the same ever since."
"I'll probably regret this, but sure, I'll go out with her."
"Let me run upstairs and get her. I'll be right back. You won't regret this, she's really nice and really smart."
Maria runs up the back stairs and knocks on Liz's door, who had just gotten out of her bath and gotten dressed.
"Come in, oh hey Maria."
"Hey Liz, come downstairs. There's someone I want you to meet."
"OK hold on."
"No come now." Maria drags her all the way downstairs and then she walks her over to Josh's booth.
"Liz, this is Josh. Josh, this is Liz. I think you two could really hit it off."
"Maria! What are you doing? Trying to set me up with random people? No offense Josh, I'm sure you're really nice, but that's too weird."
"Calm down Liz. He's new here, so he wants someone to show him around, and since I'm working, I figured you would be the next best thing to me."
Liz looks at Maria warily, knowing she is lying, but decides to do it anyway.
"Ok fine, do you want to go now Josh?"
"Sure," Josh replies as he gets up and tries to pay.
"It's on the house," Liz says.
"No you don't have to."
"It's ok, I have an 'in' with the owner; he's my father."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive. Let's go."
They walk out the door and down the street.
"Ok. There's the UFO Center."
"Is this whole town alien themed?"
"Yeah, pretty much."
"Have you lived here your whole life?"
"For the most part. I moved here when I was like 4. I don't even know where I lived before. What about you?"
"I lived on an Indian Reservation outside Roswell until I was 7."
"Why did you move?"
"My mother died and I went off to live with my god parents."
"Oh, I'm so sorry!"
"It's ok. Actually, that's why I'm really here. You see, I had a sister. When our mother died she went off to live with her god parents too. I haven't seen her since."
"That's awful."
"Yeah, I was wondering if you could take me to the Reservation."
"Of course. If there's anything else I can do to help, just ask."
Liz is wondering why she feels so close to his guy she just met.
"Thanks Liz, you're the greatest."
He gives her a hug just as Max walks out of the UFO Center. Liz's back is to Max, but he can tell it's her. 'Oh god, have I lost her for good?' he thinks and then walks away so she doesn't see him.
"Come on, I'll go get my car keys."
They arrive at the reservation and get out of the car.
"Where should we go first?" asks Liz.
"We should find River Dog, he was an old Indian friend of my mother."
As he says this, River Dog walks toward them.
"Ahh… Josh, Elizabeth, you found one another again."
