Subject: Michael and Maria
Note: Please, send me feedback. I would really appreciate it.
Good or bad, I need feedback.
Note 2: I have been waiting because I miss the way Roswel
used to be. That way I get a sense again how Maria was a
smart mouth. (Which was so great about her character?) Now
I should be able to restore that part of her.
Summary: Michael tries to persuade Maria to come home just
as her powers begin to grow.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't own any of these characters.
Part 3
Who am I?
"Maria, what the hell are you doing?" Michael said mockingly.
"Excuse me, uh ... my name is Lindsey, you must have the wrong person." Maria said trying to give herself a small accent.
"I know it is you Maria, so cut the crap with these games." Michael said starting to get a little angry.
"I told you my name isn't Maria!" She said refusing to look at him in a low voice.
Then Michael got upset and grabbed her arm not caring who was looking at her, "Maria shut up, I know very well it's you."
"Stop Michael, your hurting me." She whimpered out.
Michael couldn't believe himself. This was the whole reason he left her. He didn't want to hurt her. And now, he was doing it, not even realizing it when it was happening. When he let go of her arm he just stared at her sparkling eyes because there had been little tears sneaking out. He couldn't bare to see her hurt.
"Is everything all right?" David asked, separating Michael and Maria.
"Yeah ... yeah, just fine." Maria said lowly.
He left them alone. But she returned to the kitchen where David was.
"Who was that guy, it seemed like you to knew each other!" He said actually sounded a little jealous, not seeing Michael watching from around the corner.
"Yeah ... we um ... we used to go out, but it's over." Maria said shyly, she had to admit, she was a little attracted to him.
"You to um ... still going out?" He asked, showing a small smile.
Maria was 17. David was only 3 years older, but she was intrigued by the idea of going out with him, "Why, you asking."
"Maybe ... you!" He said smiling at her.
"We'll see." She replied, and then she noticed Michael from around the corner and quickly walked over to him.
She walked over to him and he was about to walk out the door. Her shift was over with. David told her to leave because she had "to much excitement for the day."
"Michael, why did you follow me here?" Maria asked confused.
"Maria, despite everything, I still care about you. These powers, they can be hard to control. I just don't want to see you get hurt." He said worriedly.
"The only thing hurting me, is you!" She said angrily, "You follow me, you don't give me room to breathe Michael. What do you expect from me Michael? You are the one pushing me away. Why can't you just leave me alone?" She asked while sighing.
Then all of the sudden, Maria just clasped there on the sidewalk. Michael was lucky enough to catch her before she hit the ground and she was lucky that no one was there to see this. He quickly rushed her into his rental car and drove to the hotel he was saying. Maria was having a huge Migraine. Getting all sorts of images.
*Flash* Michael, Isabelle, Tess, and Max in their pods. *Flash* The ship crash landing. *Flash* Nasaedo driving the ship into the Milky Way. *Flash* Max, being shot by a sort of Ray gun, Tess stabbed in the back, Isabelle, drown in a bathing pool, Michael hanged *Flash* A huge battle between Max's people and another alien race. *Flash* Max giving the order to attack the ship above their Planet. *Flash* Max deciding whether or not to give the order to attack.
"It could start a war Michael." A slightly older Max says.
"It doesn't matter, they have trespassed and threatened us. There is only one ship, how could *one* ship pose a threat?" Michael said arguing.
"Michael is right Max, we can't let anyone walk all over us Max!" Isabelle said slyly.
"What should I do, my new bride?" Max asked Tess.
"I am afraid I have to agree with them." She said looking at Isabelle and Michael.
Then the flashes stopped and Maria woke up. In the motel 6 room Michael was obviously staying in. She was confused at first, forgetting what happened, trying to sort out all of the Flashes she was getting when she realized what they meant. She saw Michael and quickly got up and ran for the door. But Michael stopped her before she got there.
"Stay away from me Michael!" She said very frightened.
"Maria, what's wrong, what happened ... tell me Maria!" He said screaming at her.
"You murdering bastard." She screamed back not caring about what came out of her mouth.
"What the hell is going on Maria?" Michael asked confused, "Did ... did you see anything?"
"I saw it, I saw it all Michael. You ... you guys started this war with the other aliens." She said trying to convince herself more than him.
"What?" he asked in disbelief.
"There was just 1 ship above your planet and You, Isabelle, and Tess encouraged Max to *make the order*. This whole thing could have been avoided." She said unable to control her crying. She just couldn't believe the someone she cared so much about could do something like this.
Michael himself was shocked. Were they really that evil? How could he do that? But that wasn't what worried him. Maria was actually afraid of him. And this discussed him. He had to make her see he would never hurt her.
"Maria, please ... I ... I don't want to hurt you!" He said practically begging her.
"You lied to us Michael. How could I ever trust you?" She said wiping her tears away.
"I honestly don't remember ... hell, I don't even remember the crash." He said trying to sound as pleasable as possible.
She looked at him and he acted truly genuine. But she still couldn't tell. She remembered what Nasaedo said, she could connect with people. What did that mean? She had an idea, so she began to walk towards Michael. She put her hand on his forehead and saw that he was telling the truth.
"You aren't lying." She said as she looked away, ashamed at what she accused him.
"What did you just do?" Michael asked confused.
"I don't know. I think that I can connect with people. Sort of like reading their emotions." Then Maria was hit with a set of flashes again and clasped right into Michael's arms.
*Flash* A group of what looked like humans, practicing fighting. *Flash* another group using their powers against board cut outs. *Flash* A man, setting up a plan to go back to Roswel *Flash* A large group of vans, hundreds maybe, on a highway. And then the flashes ended just as abruptly as they began.
"What did you see?" Michael asked.
"They are coming!" She said trying to organize her thoughts.
"Who, where?" Michael responded confused.
"The other aliens. And they are very close to Roswel. We ... we have to go back Michael." She said very worried.
"You want to come back!" He said feeling a little better.
"I have no choice. They are very strong, we need all the help we can get." She said sadly, realizing she would have to go back, facing the people she had so desperately been trying to avoid.
"What about your job?" Michael asked not really caring about her answer.
"I guess I will quit, not like it was paying very well anyway." Maria replied.
"When do we leave?" He said walking towards her as he reached for her arm. But when his hands touched her, she shrieked. The first thing she saw was a book. It was across the room, but when she looked at it, it went flying across the room. She had used telekinesis.
"Maria ... did ... did you do that." Michael asked a little frightened.
"I ... I think so." She said a little scared her self. These powers were growing harder to control.
"We better leave soon ... actually ... we better leave now!" Michael said.
So he drove Maria over to the Hard Rock Cafe. For some reason, Maria got another uneasy feeling as they drove up to the building. When they got out of the car, she was confused. She looked all over the building, why was she so afraid to go into the building. When she walked in, the entire place was empty except for David. She walked into him as Michael waited by the door.
"David ... I, I need to talk to you." Maria said a little shaken.
"Maria ... Maria, what about?" He asked slyly.
"Something has come up at home ... and I have to leave. So I am leaving. I am quitting." She said taking a huge breathe.
Then David laughed a little and Maria got real uncomfortable as she looked up at him. His eyes almost seemed to glow!
"Maria, huh, I know who ... or shall I say what you are!" David said as Maria's eyes grew wide open.
(To be continued.)
