Author's notes: Roswell's Big Brother was an ongoing story that ran for 9 weeks during the hiatus between seasons 2 & 3 of Roswell. We set up a poll that allowed our readers to vote to evict the housemates that were nominated for eviction. They could vote as many times as they wanted to, and as the weeks went by the popularity of the site grew as we had more votes than we could ever have imagined. So the votes listed on evictions and to vote in the 11th housemate are real. We could not "rig" the voting, so we didn't decide who was leaving - the readers did.

We've now decided to put RBB up at Fanfiction.net so that fans who didn't read the fanfic before could get a chance to. We hope you enjoy it. Here is the weekend episode.

DAY 9 - 10:14am

Day 9 in the Big Brother house. Last night the group had to nominate 2 of their fellow housemates for the first time. This morning the mood in the house is awkward.

Laurie washes the breakfast dishes in the kitchen sink. She puts the back of her hand up to her mouth as she yawns. Alex walks past and then stops at the counter.

"Rough night?" he asks.

Laurie nods. "Yeah. I couldn't sleep."

"Me neither," Alex sighs.

"I just couldn't stop thinking about the nominations," Laurie says as she continues to wash up. "I just kept feeling..." She thinks for a moment.

"Guilty?"

"Yeah," Laurie says sadly as she looks at him.

Alex nods. "I know the feeling."

Laurie sighs. "This is the one part of this whole experience that I would love to change."

Alex rubs the sleep from his eyes. "Well, what's done is done."

"Yeah."

He looks at her as she adds another cup to the growing pile of dishes sitting beside her.

"Let me help you with that," he offers as he walks toward her.

"Thanks," Laurie smiles.

Alex glances at several of the housemates who have gathered in the lounge area. He sees Max, Maria, Kyle and Tess chatting. He turns to Laurie.

"You know we should probably wake the others up." He glances up at the digital clock on the kitchen wall.

Laurie shakes her head. "No, let them sleep. It'll do them good."

Alex thinks for a moment, then leans closer to Laurie so that he is almost whispering in her ear.

"We could do it anyway. You know, the whole if I'm awake then you're awake theory."

Laurie smiles and shakes her head lightly. "That's cruel."

"Yep," Alex smiles. "Hey we could wake them up with water like Maria did to Michael..."

Laurie giggles at this.

"or we could put the cockrel in their beds and see them jump."

Laurie turns to face him as she laughs. "You know, you have a mean streak running through you, don't you?"

"Yeah, but only when I'm locked up for hours on end."

She continues to laugh as she turns back to the washing up. Alex smiles and then spots Maria looking at him then exchanging a knowing smile with Tess, as Kyle rolls his eyes.

Alex frowns at this, and turns when he hears footsteps. "Morning," he says.

"Morning," Isabel replies as she stands beside him to pour herself a glass of orange juice.

Alex looks at Maria again only to see her glaring at Isabel. He frowns again.

"God," Isabel groans as she rubs her eyes. "I cannot believe that I slept in this late. I didn't get much sleep last night."

Alex nods. "We were just talking about that." He then turns to Laurie with a smirk. "Plus others things."

Isabel watches as they smile at each other and takes a drink of her juice.

"So, Alex," she begins as she sits the glass on top of the counter.

Alex turns to her.

"Do you mind helping me clean out the chicken coop?"

"Um, sure," Alex replies.

"Thanks. For some reason they have a hatred towards me."

Alex smiles as he nods. "Sure, Isabel. Just let me know when you're going to do them."

Isabel smiles back at him. "Thank you."

Alex nods as Laurie hands him the last plate. Isabel glances at the two of them before looking over at Maria, meeting her glare with a sweet smile.

12:14pm

The group is gathered in the lounge area. Max comes out of the Diary Room with this week's task.

Max is smiling as he shakes his head, carrying the sheet with the task on it.

"What is it?" Liz asks with a small smile.

"Some of you aren't going to like it," Max grinned. He sits down on the couch next to Liz.

Michael sighs, sitting on the other couch. "Tell us, Maxwell."

"Big Brother has set the housemates a new task," Max reads out loud. "The task will require the housemates to pair up to learn ballroom dancing."

The rest of the boys groan, as the girls smile and cheer.

"You will be paired up by Big Brother, and each couple will have to learn one of five dances which Big Brother has already selected for each couple."

"What we don't get to choose who partners who?" Maria asks.

Kyle turns to her. "Does it matter? This task sucks already!"

Max continues to read. "Sean and Isabel will perform the Merengue..."

Sean and Isabel share a look then look back to Max.

"Kyle and Laurie will perform the Salsa..."

"The salsa?" Kyle asks. Laurie shakes her head with a smile.

"Michael and Liz will perform the tango..."

Liz raises her eyebrows as Michael shakes his head.

"I'm not dancing," he mutters.

"Alex and Tess will perform swing dancing..."

Alex frowns. "Does anyone even do swing dancing anymore?"

"Us obviously," Tess giggles.

Maria gasps with delight. "That just leaves you and me, girlfriend! What do we do?"

Max smiles as he continues to read. "Max and Maria will perform the samba."

Maria frowns. "I hope they're going to have something to teach us these dances."

"Big Brother will provide the housemates with instructions on how to perform the dances, and all housemates will have to perform the dances successfully on Wednesday to pass the task. The housemates must bet a percentage of their shopping budget with 10% being the lowest and 90% being the highest."

He then looks to the rest of the group. "What do you think?"

"I think it bites," Michael sighs leaning his head back.

Kyle nods. "For once I'm agreeing with Guerin. This bites."

"You guys just don't have any fun in you," Tess slaps Kyle's leg playfully. "I think this will be fun."

"It will be hard though," Liz states. "But if we work at it I think we will pass."

Isabel thinks for a moment. "But learning five new dances in 5 days is too much to expect."

"She's right," Sean agrees. "I think we should bet low."

Max nods. "What does everyone else think? Should we bet low?"

Some of the group nod, while others answer with "yes", "yeah," and "definitely."

"Okay," Max looks back down at the sheet. "How low? 20%?"

"10%," Michael counters.

Liz nods. "I think 10% would be a good bet."

Max looks at her and nods in agreement. "Okay so everyone agrees to 10%?"

The group again voice their approval.

"Okay," Max says as he stands.

Maria turns to Alex. "This is gonna be fun!"

Alex sighs. "Speak for yourself."

1:23pm

Everyday the housemates must care for and clean out the chicken coop. Today it is Isabel's turn. Alex helps her.

Isabel attempts to clean out the coop when a chicken pecks at her.

"Ow," she yelps.

Alex smiles. "I thought you wanted me to help you?"

Isabel continues to clean while keeping an eye on the chicken. "I do, but I thought want to prove to this thing that I can give as good as I get."

"Are you going to peck him back?"

Alex grins as Isabel glares at him.

"Very funny, Alex," she mutters.

Alex walks into the coop. "Let me get that for you."

"Could you just keep that chicken away from me. It's only her that seems to have a problem."

"Isabel Evans scared of a chicken? I never thought I'd ever see the day..."

"Not scared," Isabel looks at him. "I'm not Michael."

Alex laughs and soon Isabel joins him.

"Just keep it away for it's own safety."

Alex raises his eyebrows and manages to pick up the hen. "We're gonna have to name these soon."

As he walks away to the other side of the coop, Isabel mutters. "I know what I'll call her."

"What?" Alex calls back.

"Nothing," Isabel smiles sweetly.

Alex grins as he pets the chicken. "She won't harm you. You're safe with me."

Isabel laughs lightly as she finishes up.

2:14pm

The group wait for the storeroom to open to get the things needed for the dance task. Alex and Tess are already practicing.

"No, no, it goes like this," Tess says as she begins to dance kicking out her legs.

Alex watches her and shakes his head. "That's looks uncomfortable. I don't think it goes like that."

"It does!" Tess then turns to him. "I saw it in a Will Smith video."

"What makes you think that's swing dancing because you saw it on a music video. It might have been something entirely different."

"Have you ever saw the video to Will2k?"

"No."

Tess smiles. "Then how do you know that it's not swing dancing in it?"

Alex opens his mouth to answer but stops.

"She got you, bro," Sean slaps Alex on the back. He then smiles at Tess. "You're good."

Tess grins. "Thank you."

This is Big Brother. The storeroom is now open.

Alex, Tess, and Sean turn towards the storeroom, as Max opens the door. Soon all the housemates filter into the room that is lined with shelves.

"Wow," Maria says as she looks through the instructions. "These dances are going to be really really hard."

"Told you," Kyle states.

Laurie picks up a cue card. "At least with 10% we can have fun with it."

Kyle looks at her dubiously. "You cannot have fun with this. It's ballroom dancing!"

"Kyle," Tess puts her hand on his shoulder from behind him. "We can at least try."

"I am trying!"

"Very," Isabel says with a smirk.

The girls laugh as Kyle gives an indignified "hey!"

4:37pm

The group have been practicing the dance task for over an hour. Michael and Liz have run into some problems while learning to tango.

"Ow!"

"Sorry."

Liz sighs as she rubs her foot. "It's okay."

Michael rubs his eyes. "This is pointless. There's no way I can do this."

"It's not pointless," Liz states looking up at him. "We just need to find our feet."

"Liz, I have two left feet!" Michael barks. "I'm not stupid! I know when I'm screwing up!"

"Michael," she grabs his hands. "Get a grip. We're going to learn this and pass this task."

Michael sighs as he looks down at their feet.

"We can do this," Liz continues. "All we have to do is practice. Then we can...ow!"

"Sorry," Michael sighs again.

Maria walks out to them with Max in tow. "How are you two getting along?"

"We're getting there," Liz replies rubbing her foot.

"We suck," Michael states firmly.

Liz sighs and nods to them. "How are you two doing?"

"We're getting it down," Maria grins. "Lizzie, honey, you never said how good a dancer Max was!"

Max smiles sheepishly as Maria ruffles his hair.

Liz smiles. "Oh, really?"

"Dude, this guy is like the John Travolta of samba!"

"Maria..." Max blushes and sticks his hands into his jean pockets.

Maria continues without looking at him. "Well, the Saturday Night Fever John Travolta not the old one..."

Liz turns her gaze to Max who is blushing furiously.

"Okay, we get it, Maria," Michael snaps.

Maria looks at Michael with a frown. "Okay, Michael what's your problem?"

"Problem? We're trying to dance here, and all you're doing is yakking on about how Maxwell here is some kind of dance god!"

Liz exchanges a concerned look with Max, as she turns to see the angry look on Maria's face.

"Yakking?" Maria begins.

"We're having a problem with the tango," Liz interrupts.

Maria looks at her as she thinks. "Well, no wonder considering how he has two left feet!"

Michael glares at her. "Thanks for bringing that up."

"Also your height difference isn't going to help," Maria continues ignoring Michael.

"I know," Liz sighs.

Maria's eyes widen. "Oh, I've got an idea."

Before the others can reply she runs into the house.

Max looks at Liz. "Do they hurt?" he asks looking at her feet.

She glances at Michael who is glaring at Max.

"Um, not really."

Max notices the glare that Michael is giving him. "Sorry, Michael."

Maria runs back onto the decking carrying a pair of shoes. "Here, put these on!"

Liz smiles. "Heels! Thank you!"

"I brought them in as I figured they would look good on me when I leave here."

"These would look really good on you," Liz admires the shoes before putting them on.

Maria gives her arm a squeeze. "I know!"

Liz stands fully. She is now 5 inches taller.

"Now this is better."

"Definitely!" Maria agrees. "Michael try standing beside Liz."

Michael sighs as he stands beside Liz.

"See!" Maria smiles. "Isn't this better?"

"Well, at least she's taller."

Maria watches them as they begin to dance. "Now all we have to do is work on your..."

"Ow!"

Max and Maria wince as they look at the scene before them.

"...feet."

8:59pm

The group is in the lounge room playing monopoly that Isabel had brought in. Michael and Sean sit at the kitchen table playing cards.

Alex shakes the dice and throws. He gets two four's. He moves the boot which is his marker.

"That's mine!" Tess grins.

"Oh, no," Alex groans.

Tess looks at the property cards. "You owe me $400."

Alex sighs. "Can anyone please give me a loan?"

"That won't happen," Michael calls from the kitchen. "It's against the Evans rules."

"Quiet, Michael," Isabel calls back.

As the others laugh, Alex looks at his properties.

"Well, I guess I could always morgage this." He holds up a card. "Or even better sell it!"

"Alex, it's the only property that you have left that isn't debt," Liz reasons.

Alex turns to her. "Yeah, but I could sell it to you and get myself out of debt? C'mon, Liz, $400?"

Liz looks at him then at the card. "Um...no."

"And, I thought you were my friend."

"And some friend you are! Trying to get $400 out of me for something I would only give $50 for!"

Alex sighs dramatically. "Well, I guess I'm gonna have to go out of the game," he says giving the girls puppy dog eyes.

The other laugh at him, as Kyle shakes his head.

"Alex, you are truly pathetic at this!"

"Says the guy who only got out of debt by getting me into it!"

"Yet I did not resort to guilt trips," Kyle smirks.

Before Alex can give a reply Laurie chirps in.

"Here, Alex, I'll buy it from you."

Alex turns to her. "Thank you!" he says over dramatising his actions.

"I can't believe you caved!" Kyle says incredulously.

"Kyle, have a heart," Tess says.

As Laurie pays Alex for the card, he soon hands over the money to Tess.

"You're the one taking it from him!"

Tess looks at Kyle with a smirk. "That's different. He owes me the money. If I hadn't have taken it from him then we would lose the point of the whole game."

"Which is?"

"That I'm now winning," Tess grins at him then at the others.

11:43pm

While most of the group sit in the lounge listening to Alex play his guitar, Sean is outside on the decking.

Liz watches Sean standing alone outside on the patio. She listens to Maria sing along to Alex's music, but keeps an eye on the lone figure. She stands up and walks towards the conservatory doors with Max and Tess watching her leave.

"Hey."

Sean looks behind him as he hears the voice. "Hey," he smiles slightly.

"Why are you out here by yourself?"

Sean sighs as he turns back around to face the garden. "Just thinking."

Liz bites her bottom lip as she now stands beside him.

"You know tomorrow's my brithday," Sean says still looking ahead.

Liz smiles. "Really?"

Sean nods. "Yeah."

"Maria didn't say."

"She probably forgot," he shrugs.

Liz looks at him sadly. "I'm sorry."

Sean looks at her. "Don't be. It's just a birthday, nothing major." He turns back to the front. "It is just got me thinking about things that's why I mentioned it."

"What kind of things?"

"Just stuff. Like where my life's heading. What I want to do. Stuff like that."

Liz nods. "Did you make any decisions?"

Sean looks at her. "Yeah. Some. I know what I want in my life."

Liz holds his gaze for several moments before lowering hers. Sean lowers his for a moment then turns.

"You better go inside."

Liz looks at him. "Come with me."

Sean turns to look at her.

"You shouldn't be out here alone."

Sean smiles at her slowly and she returns his smile. Liz pulls his top lightly and he soon follows her into the house. The singing is in full swing as Maria has been joined by Tess, Isabel, and Laurie.

Max watches as Sean and Liz sit down on the couch, and his gaze turns to Tess who is looking at him. He sighs as the singing becomes louder.

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
