AN: Someone told me that they thought that Liz and Buffy are supposed to be close. Well they are. But if you go back to the beginning of second season of Buffy, Buffy is a total bitch to everyone.

Chapter 7: Tess' Mindwarp

Liz dropped Tess as she turned. Tess scampered away with her tail between her legs.

Liz waited for Buffy to stop and then waved at the others and went out the back leaving Angel to comfort Buffy. She walked slowly towards her car and got in. Then she drove towards the Sunnydale Inn. She parked next to Max's rented car. She went to the front desk.

"Hi, my boyfriend and friends are staying at this hotel. Could you tell me which rooms?" she asked.

"Who are you looking for?" the receptionist requested back.

"Max Evans."

"Hold on," she said looking at the records, "I can't tell you without asking him."

The receptionist started to reach for the phone when Liz entered her mind making her think that she had in fact already called and then the answer had been yes.

"It's room 223. Have a nice day!"

Back at the Hotel

Max was sitting on his bed. He was confused. Liz had said a lot tonight and it was a lot to chew. Just as he was about to take a shower, a knock was heard on his door.

He knew immediately that it was Liz. He walked to the door and opened it without even looking through the peephole…

Liz POV

Liz knocked on the door. When it opened, Tess stood there in little more then a towel.

"Liz, you shouldn't have come! We just got out of the shower! Max is an excellent lover, you know? Oh wait, you don't! You haven't slept with him yet!"

This pissed Liz off she threw her hand up and Tess went crashing into the opposite wall. Liz had not meant to tip her hand just yet. She had meant to never tell Tess that she had powers.

"Bitch! Since when do you have powers?" Tess asked as she spit some blood out of her mouth.

Liz ignored her and stepped into the room and glanced over at Max who was naked and resting on the bed, staring at Tess. He seemed to be trying to undress her with his eyes.

Liz stumbled back and said, "Max, what are you doing?"

He didn't seem to hear her at all, if anything, his eyes glazed over even more.

Liz suddenly realized he was in a mindwarp.

"Liz come here!" Max said.

Tess started to walk over to him but before she did she looked at Liz and said, "He will only look at me if I look like you! I'll take him anyway I can though!"

Liz had had enough though. She closed her eyes and bent her head in defeat, but instead she got into Tess' mind. She started taking memories and distorting them and mixing them up to the point where Tess' mind was almost nothing. She left it intact enough to survive.

She opened her eyes to see a confused Max and Tess. But, Max quickly realized what was going on and looked down. When he did, he blushed and dove for the covers.

Liz walked more fully into the room. Tess still had a confused look on her face but it was more innocent.

"Tess? Are you okay?"

"Who is Tess?" Tess asked.

"Liz, are you ok? Oh my Gosh!" Tess has been mindwarping me ever since she got to Roswell. He glanced at the girl who was giving him a look of total confusion.

"Who am I?" Tess asked.

Max glanced at Liz before saying, "Your name is Tess."

"What is a mindwarp?"

"Nothing, Tess. I was joking with Liz."

Tess shook her head and headed out of the room.

"What is with her?"

"I mindwarped her."

"You did what?" Angel asked as he entered the room.

"How did you get in here, Angel?" Liz asked annoyed.

"I followed you. I wanted to talk to you after overhearing what you and your friends were saying," Angel answered.

"Where am I?" Tess questioned.

"You're in Sunnyhell, I mean Sunnydale, California. My name is Liz Parker and this is my boyfriend, Max Evans. We are friends of yours. We are in a hotel because I've been staying with my Aunt Joyce and cousin Buffy Summers. You, Max, Maria DeLuca, Michael Guerin, Isabel Evans, and Alex Whitman came to visit me. I've been gone all summer and I wasn't going to return until next summer. You live with our friends, Kyle and Sheriff Valenti."

Before Liz could say anymore, the door banged open. Everyone walked in. Michael lifted his hand preparing to blast Tess.

Max blushed and lifted the covers even higher.

"Maxwell, get out of your bed and come over here, away from Tess. She needs to be blasted to hell and back."

Max's blush deepened and Liz spoke up, "He can't. Don't ask why and before you say anything more, there is someone else in here."

This distracted Michael as he glanced over and found a tall, brooding Angel.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Angel," Angel glowered.

Switching POVs

'He's the guy that was being rude earlier'

His attention went to Liz as she spoke, "Angel, you say anything and I swear, I'll kill you! I don't care what Buffy does, you will be a pile of dust."

"I followed you for some answers! And if you think you can take me on, try me.

'What is her problem? She has hated me since she met me! Oh yeah, I'm a vampire!'

"You know him?" the Maria girl asked.

Switching POVs back

"Yeah, this is Angel. He is one of Buffy's friends. Angel this is Maria Deluca, Michael Guerin, Max and Isabel Evans, Alex Whitman and Tess Harding. They are my best friends. Lets step outside the room so that Max can get dressed."

Max got even redder if that's possible. He was now as read as a cherry.

"What…?" Michael never finished the question because Maria pushed him out the door.

"Michael don't ask!" Liz pleaded, then she turned to Isabel, "Will you help me get her a room and settled in.

Max's POV

Max stepped out of his room fully dressed. When he looked around he noticed that Liz, Tess and Isabel were gone.

"Where did they go?" Max asked. No one had to ask who he was talking about.

Surprisingly, It was Angel that answered, "Isabel and Liz took Tess to get a room. Can someone tell me what is going on? I heard something about aliens, Czechoslovakians, and powers. I will tell you what I am if you tell me what is going on."

Everyone looked shocked when he said this. They all took several steps back. They refused to answer him, frightened he might be FBI.

They stayed quiet staring at each other, Max and Michael with their hands raised. They surrounded him to make sure he didn't move.

Liz's POV

'This is amusing. They don't trust him as far as Maria could throw him and they don't either.'

"Angel, what have you done to piss them off?" Liz asked innocently knowing full and well there was only one way that they would do this. They were scared that he was FBI.

"I didn't do anything I requested information on their earlier conversation and I would tell them what I was."

"Angel, one, Buffy would have your ass for that one. Two, you are saying the one thing that is likely to scare the living crap out of my friends."

"I thought they would be more comfortable if they found out," Angel sulked.

"It's your choice, Angel."

The Roswellians kept looking back and forth between Liz and Angel not sure what to say.

Max took that it was fine to say something so he spoke out first, Michael, "Isabel, Tess, and I are the Roswell Aliens. We were in the '47 crash. I'm the beloved King Zan of my planet, Antar. Isabel is my sister, Princess Vilandra. Michael is Rath, my second-in-command who was engaged to Vilandra on Antar. Tess was my wife, Queen Ava."

Liz broke in before he could say anymore, "Welcome to the I-Know-An-Alien Club.
