Chapter 3

~Three Hours Later~

Liz sat on her balcony just staring at the stars not being able to sleep. She couldn't believe this was happening again. Ha. Knowing her luck, Godzilla would be the next to pop out of the sky.

"Hey." Liz whipped around when she heard a voice come from her window. It was Tess. "Couldn't sleep?"

Liz shook her head in response. "I have a feeling I won't be getting much sleep in the next few days. I didn't last time." She replied while wrapping her quilt around her tighter as if to try to ward off everything that was about to come. She looked back over to Tess. "Are you going to sit down or are you just going to stand there the entire night."

Tess chuckled and moved to sit down next to her. "I just want to say that I'm sorry. You know, for everything that has happen to you because of something I did. I never meant to hurt you."

"I know. It's not your fault. You were just doing what you believe was right. To tell you the truth, I have no idea what is right and wrong anymore. Sometimes I wish I could have the way thing were going to be before he showed up the first time…then I immediately change my mind. Do you have any idea what if feels like that one single decision in your life can be the catalyst to destroy the human race and yours?" Liz let out a soft chuckle at the fact, "I mean it seems kind of surreal, you know. I mean if you would have told me two and a half years ago that is where I would be right now, I would have laughed in your face just at fact of time travel and aliens alone. Not to mention everything else."

"I could never do that. I would have done what I wanted and said to hell with everyone else, I want to be happy for once. But you…you are the most unselfish person I have ever encountered. You do know the real reason why Max is with me right?" asked Tess as she continued to look at the horizon not looking at Liz.

"Because he likes you, maybe even loves you. He been remembering things from his past life, and you're his past. The past doesn't let go. At least not that easily."

Tess shook her head. "No, that's not why. He's with me because he gave up on you and believes that I'm his only choice. To be honest with you, I'm not sure I can handle being with him. He is just so…intense. I want someone that can smile once in awhile and cut lose and not have to be in control twenty- four seven. Like Kyle."

"You and Kyle? Well…I guess I could see it. But your right about Max, he is very intense and that's one of the things that I love about him, you know. The way he can make you feel like you're the only thing that matters. But…it can't be."

"Liz, do you hear yourself? What you're describing never happens between him and me. What you two have is special; you can't just walk away from it just because it's wrong. Sometimes the best things in life are wrong. You need to stop thinking about everyone else and think about what is best for you for once in your life. I've seen you with him and without him. You are nowhere near your full potential when you're without him. You need him, just like he needs you."

"What are you trying to say, Tess? That you're giving up on destiny." Asked Liz a little confused. Who was she talking to?

"No, I'm finding mine. The more time I spend with Max, I realize that we are better off as friends. I mean, can you imagine me as queen? I can barely get Isabel and Michael to listen to me, let alone an entire planet. Not that I wouldn't like to be." She added the last part quickly with a smile. Liz started to laugh along with Tess.

"Hey. Do you want to go for a walk or something? You so we can keep talking without waking up anyone." Asked Liz as she stood up pointing to the window in a dramatic whisper.

The two girls walked back into the room to leave a note and change their clothes. As soon as they were done they descended the latter on her balcony and started their walk around town and continued to talk about everything.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A few minutes later, Kyle and Max made their way into Liz's window determined to find out the truth about what they overheard earlier that evening. Making a quick scan of the room they finally realized that two of the four were missing. Liz and Tess.

Walking over to a sleeping Maria, Max gently but firmly shook her awake. "Who…what…" mumbled Maria as she was shaken from her dream state. When she could comprehend who was doing the shaking, Maria promptly screamed.

"Maria!" The two intruders hissed at once.

"Oh god. What in the hell do you think your doing here?" she hissed back.

"Where are Liz and Tess?" asked Max as he took a step back from her, shoving his hands into his pockets.

"There not here?"

"No." mumbled Kyle.

"Why don't you try answering the first question." Boomed a voice from behind.

"Shit." Mumbled Maria as she covered her head with the covers over her sleeping bag.

"Hi." Stated F. Max as Kyle and Max turned around to face him.
