Summary: It is night time and guess what everyone is doing in whatever



"Hello My Lord." Thomas stated to his king as he bowed in respect.

"Hello Thomas." The king stated as he saw other people with Thomas

Thomas saw that the king saw his visitors. Before Thomas could introduce him the king introduced himself

"Welcome." The king greeted, "I know who all of you are and I know why you are here. So let me not waste anymore time and let all of you get on your way."

"Thank you my lord." Thomas stated still bowing

"You can leave now Thomas." The king stated as he knew that they were waiting for him back on Earth, "I will have my assistant show them the filing room."

Thomas nodded as he transported to the space ship

--------------------------

16 hours have passed by while Christian, Max, Michael, and Tess were waiting patiently and quietly for Thomas to return

"Max" Christian called out which surprised everyone. He wanted to talk to his father from the moment he saw him, but he wasn't sure what to say.

"Yeah?" Max asked noticing how his only son didn't recognize him as his father

"Why did you come back?" Christian asked the question that was plaguing his mind

"To protect Earth from Kivar." Max stated. He knew that he had to get to know his son

"So it had nothing to do with my mom?" Christian asked curiously. He wanted to know if his father was back for them or for his war

"I wanted to protect her." Max stated how he felt

Christian shook his head in disapproval

"You wanted to protect Earth." Christian stated restating what his father said, "Not my mother."

"Why would you say that?" Max asked hurtful. He couldn't believe that his son actually didn't think that he wanted to protect Liz as well

"Earth was probably a consolation prize to whoever won the battle, right?" Christian asked knowing exactly why the war in space was going on, "Or were you just coming back for a quickie with mom to have another kid that you would leave behind again?"

"Look Christian." Max was about to start telling him the whole story, but Christian didn't want to hear it, and interrupted him

"Do you even love mom?" Christian asked in disgust at the thought not being true

Max was about to answer, but Christian interrupted him again

"You know what? Don't answer that." Christian stated before Max could reply, "I really don't want to know you or your feelings."

"Well I'm going to tell you." Max stated getting upset. He didn't care if this kid was his son, he was NOT going to let anyone doubt his love for Liz, "I love Liz."

"Then why did you leave?" Christian questioned with hurt and anger

Max was shocked by the response he got. Now Max understood where all the anger and hatred from Christian was coming from

"Look I'm sorry that I abandoned you." Max started but was again interrupted by Christian AN: Do you think Christian could use some manners?

"You just proved my point." Christian said staring at Max

"What?" Max asked confused

"You don't get it. I don't care if you abandoned me or not." Christian stated angrily, "You just stated that you loved my mom, but if you really did then you wouldn't have left her."

Christian was letting out all his frustration and anger out on Max since he had no one else to let it out on

"And maybe just maybe Kivar wouldn't have her in his grasp right now." Christian stated blaming his father for letting Kivar take his mother

Christian turned away and grabbed his headphones, "Call me when Thomas gets here."

With that Christian went into a bedroom and locked his door

"He's just frustrated Max." Michael stated as he saw Max feeling guiltier and guiltier

"He's right though." Max stated staring at the door Christian just locked, "It's all my fault. I left Liz and him all by themselves."

"Just give him time to cool down." Tess stated trying to make Max feel better, "I'm sure he was just really frustrated right now."

"I'm going to go for a walk." Max stated as he started towards the door

"Where?" Michael asked making sure Max wasn't going to do anything stupid

"I don't know." Max stated as he grabbed his coat, "Somewhere to think."

With that Max walked through the door and left Tess and Michael standing there with grim faces. They both knew that Max was going to let the guilt wash all over him

-----------------

"This is the filing room." The assistant stated as she opened the door for them

"This room is huge." Maria stated as she saw how big the room actually was

"Please don't tell me that those are the files that we will be looking through." Kyle stated as he saw about 100 filing cabinets each with 10 drawers each

"Yes it is." The assistant stated. She knew that what these people were attempting was impossible. Since she started working here she knew of no one that was able to find a single file of what they were actually looking for

"Well let's get started." Alex stated taking the leading role, "Two of us will start from this end and the other two will start from the opposite end."

"Let's go." Maria stated as she dragged Kyle to the opposite end of Isabel and Alex

"I hope we find something." Isabel stated as she started to go through the first cabinet

"I hope so too." Alex stated

----------------

Isabel, Alex, Maria, and Kyle have spent about 3 hours searching through the files and still found nothing about Liz or even about Antar. They have only searched about 3% of all the files and were getting really tired.

Alex was about to start on his next file cabinet when Hope started to cry. Alex started to rock her but it didn't help

"Alex how about you and Hope go to bed." Isabel suggested

"No I don't want to leave you guys when I know I can help." Alex stated not wanting them to do all the work

"Didn't you tell me that Hope can't go to sleep without her dad?" Isabel questioned, "Besides I don't think she'll be able to fall asleep with all the music coming from next door."

"I don't know." Alex stated still feeling guilty

"It's okay buddy." Kyle added knowing that Alex's first duty was to be a father

"Are you guys sure?" Alex questioned feeling bad that he wasn't doing his part

"Yes." Both Maria screamed at him, "Now go!"

"Good night guys." Alex stated as he went out the door and started towards his room

Isabel didn't stop staring at him until he left the room

"Someone has a crush someone has a crush." Kyle stated in a teasing voice to Isabel. Isabel turned bright red

"Is it that obvious?" Isabel asked hoping that it didn't sound too obvious

"Do you?" Maria asked curiously

"He's what kept me alive out there." Isabel stated, "I loved him."

"Do you still love him?" Kyle asked, "Even though he has a kid?"

"Kyle." Maria swatted him with papers and then asked curiously, "Do you?"

"When I first got back I didn't know if he still wanted me back, and I still don't." Isabel stated, "But the more and more time I spend with him the more and more I fall back in love with him"

"Why don't you ask him." Kyle said making it seem so simple

"I don't know." Isabel stated realizing that it was a simple thing to do, "I don't want to be rejected."

"It's Alex." Maria stated

"I know…" Isabel said stuttering, "I just I'm scared."

"Well the only way to find out is asking him how he feels." Maria stated.

"Let's just search through these for another hour and then we'll call it a night." Isabel stated changing the subject

They agreed

It was another hour later and they still found nothing. They decided to wait until tomorrow morning to restart their search

------------------

After their dance Beth decided to take a long walk around the palace to see if any other memories came back to her. She wrapped her shawl around her as the weather started to get chilly. She sat down and started to stare at the starry sky. As she was looking up she saw a shooting star. She decided to make a wish

"I wish I could remember anything." Beth stated looking up at shooting star, "Even if it's just something really little."

Just then Beth got a flash

--------------

Max finally sat down on a bench in the park.

"When did things get so bad?" Max questioned out loud as he looked up to the stars, "Liz is gone and my son hates me."

"He doesn't hate you." A voice next to Max stated. He quickly turned to see who it was and couldn't believe who he saw. Sitting next to him in a beautiful white dress was Liz. Her long hair was flowing down in curls, which made her beauty shine even more

"Liz?" Max questioned not believing his eyes

"Max." Liz stated with the sweetest and purest smile that warmed his heart

"How are you here?" Max questioned knowing that she was trapped on another planet

"We are connected." Liz stated simply as she held his hands

All Max could do was stare at her beautiful face

"We always will be." Liz stated, as her hands roamed all over Max's face. The second Max closed his eyes in pleasure he felt Liz disappear

"Liz?" Max questioned as he quickly opened his eyes. He was disappointed when he didn't see Liz anymore

"Was that all my imagination?" Max asked looking around for an answer. The only thing Max saw was the shawl that Liz was wearing was now on his lap. Max smiled while he grabbed the shawl and looked up into the starry sky

-----------------

Beth had a flash of a handsome man that she knew wasn't Kivar. He had dark brown hair to match his dark brown eyes. The only thing she remembered was staring into his eyes, and seeing that she meant the world to him. Her flash ended when she felt a cool breeze go down her back

"Geez it's getting cold." Beth stated, as she was about to rewrap her shawl around her shoulders, but for some reason couldn't find it

"I could have sworn I had it." Beth stated as she started to look around the bench she was sitting at

Beth yawned in tiredness. Beth knew that she better stop her search and go to bed. Before she went back into the palace she glanced at the stars one last time
