Category- Max and Liz!
Summary- everyone just got back from the party. Nicholas kidnaps Liz...
This is after Follow Your Heart; I decided to add more stuff
Liz sat on her balcony looking at the stars. They were extremely bright tonight. And I know why, she thought happily. Max had driven her home after the party. They had had a great time. She told him everything about Future Max and what happened and how she felt. They had a much-needed make-out session. She stood up to go inside. As she opened the door, she heard a strange noise behind her. "Max?" she asked. Strong arms grabbed her from behind. She tried to scream but a hand clamped over her mouth. "It's okay, don't worry," a man's voice cackled. "Get her out of here," some one else said. It was Nicholas.
"I feel so proud of myself," Maria said giddily as she and Sean walked through the door of her house, where he was just 'passing through'. "You didn't even do anything!" he accused. "Excuse me? I brought Liz to the party. I came up with the whole 'follow your heart' thing! That's something,"
"Yeah, well, I got Liz to follow Max!" he argued. "So?" Maria asked, "That was, like, part of the whole problem!" Sean sighed, "He wouldn't have gone to look for her if she hadn't seen him, and then they wouldn't be back together,"
"Mom! We're home!" she called, refusing to acknowledge the fact that he could actually be right. There was no answer. "Mom?" they walked into the kitchen. "Aunt Amy?" Sean looked around and found a note on the refrigerator. He read it out loud, "Hey kids! I went to have dinner at Jim's, I won't be back when you get home. Love you, bye!"
"Dinner. Yeah, sure. Wonder what they're having for dessert?" Maria looked over Sean's shoulder to see the paper. "Who's Jim?" he asked. "The ex-sheriff," she told him. "Oh," he nodded. "You know what?" she said suddenly, "You're not half-bad," she laughed. "Thanks...I think," he agreed. "I mean, you were pretty bad before you went to jail, but now you're okay, and I can inwardly accept that you're a cousin of mine," she shrugged. "I'm just 'okay'?" he smiled. "You're pretty cool. And I'm kind of sorry Liz didn't go out with you,"
"You're just 'kind of sorry'? Not completely?" he pretended to be hurt. "Well, see, Liz and Max are soul mates, they're so perfect for each other, it's sick," she explained. "Really? Wow. I'd like to find a soul mate," he turned towards her. "Maybe you will," she answered kindly. "Yeah, Liz just...wasn't my type anyway," he amended.
Isabel greeted Max as he came in, "Hey! How'd the party go?" she asked. "It was great! I still don't understand why you didn't go, though," he replied, smiling widely. "There was nothing for me to do there. Did you and Liz get back together or something?"
"Yeah, how did you know?" he answered. "You're way too happy for it to have been a normal party," she said looking over him. "What?" he eyed her suspiciously. "You guys didn't...or anything, did you?" Max shook his head rapidly, "No! Why?" her eyes traveled to his shirt, "You're shirt...the top buttons are..." Max looked down, "Oh!" he blushed, quickly buttoning them up. "Are you sure you didn't?"
"I-sa-bel!" he cried in a high-pitched, whiny voice. "Okay, sorry," she laughed, "Do you wanna watch a movie and have a little quality time?" he nodded, "Sure, which one?"
"Um...how about `Dennis the Menace'?" she questioned. "Are you okay, Is?" Max asked worriedly. "I just spent an afternoon with Mom," she pointed out, "Come on, let's go!"
"Let go of me!" Liz cried as Nicholas tied her up to the pole, without even using his hands. He shook his head, "Sorry, no can do!"
"What do you want?" she yelled, struggling to loosen her binds. "You should know," he spat smugly. "Well, I don't," she answered. Nicholas walked around to the front, grinning evilly at her, "What's Max's biggest weakness?" Liz narrowed her eyes, "How am I supposed to know?" He laughed. A cold, humorless laugh, "No, silly, it's you. Always has been, always will be," she was shocked and tried to portray an out ward calmness, "What makes you think I have anything to do with Max's weakness?" she asked him. "I know many things. First of all, Max is completely in love with you. You are his weakness. He will go to all costs to make sure you, Michael and Isabel are safe,"
"Then why didn't you use Michael or Isabel for this...whatever you're doing?" he turned around, "Michael and Isabel can protect themselves, they don't need Max for this. You do. I simply either kill you, or kill Max,"
Tess walked to the door of her `home' hand-in-hand with Kyle. "Tonight was a lot of fun!" she exclaimed. "Yeah, it was," Kyle agreed. He turned the key in the knob and opened the door. "Dad! We're back!" he called. They walked into the living room and were greeted with a horrific sight. Kyle's dad and Amy DeLuca were on the couch. Making out. Tess clamped her hand over her mouth. Kyle shifted uncertainly, "Dad? Uh...we were..."
"Oh, hi," Jim said cheerily. He and Amy got off the couch. "So..." Amy laughed, "I should be leaving now..." Jim nodded. She straightened her blouse before grabbing her coat and walking out the door, "Bye ya'll!"
"Okay, then," Tess stared at the ceiling, trying not to laugh. "So how was the party, kids?" Jim asked enthusiastically.
Nicholas threw a small, blue crystal into a little pond at the back of the cave. "So, what's the point of this?" Liz asked exasperatedly, "Max doesn't even know I'm here. You better not hurt him!" she threatened. He laughed again, "Don't even try to threaten me. I'm not scared. You can't do anything to me," she angrily tried move her arms, but couldn't. He gave her a fake, pitying look, "Oh, poor baby. You don't want me to hurt your little Maxie?" she glared at him with pure hatred. "Look, I made her mad! I'm sorry!" his voice was dripping with sarcasm, "Do you remember your past life? It should end a lot like that," he nodded to himself. "What are you talking about? My past life?" she questioned curiously. "You don't remember?" he raised an eyebrow, "You obviously don't know as much as you let on," Liz sighed, "I didn't have anything to do with Max's past life. All I know about it is that he was destined to be with Tess," Nicholas snorted, "Well, I wouldn't use the word destined. More like his mommy wanted him to. Surely, you have to at least know he wasn't in love with her,"
"No, I don't know that," she suddenly felt a strange chill surround her. "Well then, Max doesn't trust you as well as he should," he decided. "Yes, he does!" she defended, "I was there when his mom was talking about his young bride," he gave her a weird look, "Zan didn't...man, you people have been completely deceived! You don't remember anything about your past life?" he inquired. "Nothing," she eyed him warily.
"Isn't this a hilarious movie, Max?" Isabel asked, laughing as Dennis was playing in the `fort' with his friends, "Max? Hello? Max!" she waved her hand in front of her brother's face. He snapped to attention, "Huh? Oh, sorry,"
"What's wrong?" she turned to him. "It's just that my side started hurting a few minutes and I'm not sure why," he shrugged, "It's probably nothing," Isabel nodded, "Are you sure?" he looked at her, "Yeah," Max flinched. "Max?" she asked tentatively. "Can you pause that for a second? I need to do something," he reached for the phone. "Uh, sure," she hit the pause button and listened to his conversation. "Hi, Mrs. Parker, is Liz there?" Isabel groaned. He stops family time to talk to Liz. "She's not? But I just dropped her off about 20 minutes ago," Uh-oh, Isabel seemed to sense something was wrong. "She hasn't left the house to your knowledge? But she's not there now...Uh-huh...that's really weird...I'll go look for her" Max was growing paler by the second. Isabel bit her nail. "Yeah...thanks...bye," he hung up the phone and turned to her. "I'm guessing quality time is over?" she tried to make him smile. "Liz is in trouble. Let's go," he walked out with Isabel following closely behind.
"So, you wanna play Scrabble?" Maria asked Sean, they were sitting around the dining room table with nothing to do, waiting for Amy to come home. "Yeah, sure," he answered lazily. Maria brought it out and set it up. "I'll go first, cuz it's my game," she announced. "Whatever," he agreed. They barely played for 5 minutes when Maria's cell phone rang. "Hey, what's up?" she said. "Maria?"
"It's Max," she whispered to Sean. "Hey, Max!"
"Do you know where Liz is?"
"I thought you dropped her off!" Sean looked interested, didn't he drop Liz off?
"I did, but now she's not home. Her mom said she didn't leave the house,"
"Then she's at home," Sean was now confused.
"Her mom said she never left, but she's not at home now. They don't know where she is,"
"Oh, my God! We've gotta find her!" Sean raised an eyebrow, "Find who?"
"Never mind," Maria waved him away, "Okay, Max, get over here, now!"
"Okay, see you soon!"
"Bye!" she hung up, grabbed her coat, and got ready to go. Sean followed her, "Where are we going?" he wondered. "We're not going anywhere," she corrected saucily. "Oh, yes we are!" Sean exclaimed, "I'm going with you, whether you like it or not!" Maria sighed. Max was waiting out front. "Okay, fine! You explain it to Max!" he rolled his eyes, "Ooh...I'm soooo scared!"
Max saw Maria walking towards the Jeep...with Sean behind her. "What the hell is he doing here?!" Max asked, gritting his teeth. "I insist on coming along in this rescue mission," Sean stated as a matter-of-factly. "Well, you can't come!" Michael shouted from the back, "This doesn't concern you!" Sean shrugged, then got in. "Fine!" Isabel put a hand on her forehead. "I'm sorry guys, he wants to come along. I can't really stop him," Maria apologized. "It's okay," Max hit the steering wheel hard, and then started the car. "So...who are we looking for?" Sean asked after 5 minutes of silence. "Liz," Michael replied curtly. "Liz?"
"That's what he said!" Maria answered crossly. "I got a visio..." Max started when he remembered Sean was in the car, "I mean, I think I know where Liz is,"
Liz's mouth dropped open in shock. "Excuse me?!" she exclaimed. Nicholas had just stated that she was the bride. He just shrugged, "I can't believe you didn't know," she shook her head furiously from side to side, trying to digest what he had said, "I'm...I can't be the bride!" she stuttered. He sighed, "Yes, you can. Don't you remember anything? I mean, anything at all?" Liz clenched her teeth, "I already answered that question!" he shrugged, "Okay, then,"
"Tess is the bride," she got back on track. "No, she's not. Max should be here soon. I need to get the crystals ready," she blinked rapidly, "The Gandarium?" Nicholas nodded approvingly.
No one said a word on the way to the desert. Sean was getting uncomfortable. "Umm...who would kidnap Liz? And why?" he broke the silence. Seriously, who would kidnap her? He thought to himself. She was such a sweet and kind girl. Max stopped the car and turned around, "Nicholas," Max seethed, his eyes flashing with anger. Sean felt like crawling under a rock, Max's steely gaze could probably kill someone. I guess he really cares about Liz, he decided. "Who's Nicholas?" he asked, thinking he might not want t know. "I just realized something," Maria announced, "If this really is Nicholas, then it's a Czechoslovakian problem. How will we have Sean here without telling him the truth?"
"What truth?" Sean wanted to know. "It's none of your business!" Isabel exclaimed automatically. "It is now!" he yelled back, "Why can't you guys just tell me?" Isabel wanted to scream. They couldn't let another person in on their secret, could they? "How come Max seems to know exactly where Liz is? Is it some sort of ransom? If so, why don't they contact Mrs. Parker? Are you guys, like, part of some Mafia or something?" Sean started a little investigation. Maria tried to calm herself by taking deep breaths; I really need some cedar oil! Isabel groaned, "We may as well tell him the truth," Michael shook his head, "No! Maxwell, start the car. We're wasting time. Who knows what Nicholas could be doing to Liz right now!" Max started the car, but shook his head at Michael, "Maybe we should. After all, the FBI isn't hunting us anymore," Sean's eyes widened, "Whoa! The FBI?! You guys have the FBI after you? And I thought I was bad, I mean, whoa," he laughed appreciatively. Max didn't smile, he put his hand out in front of the stereo system and it suddenly started blasting out some cheesy love song really loud. Sean's mouth was hanging agape, "How...how did you do that? This has got to be some kind of cheap trick..." he shook his head from side to side in an unbelieving nature, "No way..."
"We're aliens- Isabel, Max, Tess, and I," Michael explained helpfully. "Ha, ha. That's really funny. No, seriously, how'd you learn to do that?" Isabel rolled her eyes impatiently, "He's telling you the truth," she waved a hand over her hair and it turned pink. She waved again and it was her natural blond color. "Oh, God! Get me out of here!" Sean started fumbling with the lock on the door, but Maria put her hand over his, "Do you want to kill yourself?" she hissed at him. "I don't understand, what does this have to do with Liz?" Michael leaned back in his seat, "I'll make this simple so your pea-sized brain can understand. Tess, Isabel, Max, and I are good aliens. Nicholas is a bad alien. We're trying to stop Nicholas from destroying the world and killing us. Nicholas, being the bad alien that he is, is trying to force Max into surrendering by using Liz. Because we all know that Maxwell here loves Liz and she's his weak point. Got it?" Sean smirked, "Does Liz know Max is an alien?" Maria slapped her forehead, "No duh!"
"Then how come she's still in love with Max?" Sean asked, clearly disgusted at the thought of falling in love with an alien.
"So, exactly what do you need me for?" Liz resigned herself to just being annoying by asking lots of questions since she couldn't release herself from the binds. "I'm going to use you as a tool to force Max into surrendering. He surrenders, you live," Nicholas smiled cruelly. Liz bit her lip to keep from laughing, Nicholas just looked like too much of a little boy to be taken seriously. But she knew better. Nicholas was capable of many horrible, evil things. "Max won't surrender. He's not that weak!" Liz defended him. "I beg to differ,"
