Epilogue

After they found out Mr. Harding was Nasedo and the person responsible for the murder of David and Liz's mother the Evans and Parkers located where they had buried Jennifer, and they asked for her body to be brought to Roswell. They were going to give her a proper burial. David and Liz stood in front of their mother's grave. They were finally able to say good-bye to that chapter of their lives that had hunted them for so long. Now they weren't alone and their friends stood besides them.

After the service the majority of the grievers left the eight friends at the cemetery, knowing they need the time. Liz kissed a red rose and then lowered it to the ground and whispered a faint. "I love you."

They stood there a while longer as they remembered their week. It had ended being difficult with all the revelations, and discoveries of their entwined lives.

The Sheriff had found them at the cave a bit after Nasedo's fall. The Sheriff was ready to blame David and Max for those events, but Liz had explained that it had been Mr. Harding. Liz had told them he had gone mad and didn't know what he was doing.

The Sheriff spent a few days looking for him, but there was no sign of him. He had again questioned Liz as to his whereabouts and she told him that when he had seen David, Michael, and the others he had gotten scared, had fled, and that she had no idea where he went. The Sheriff was still doubtful, but he hadn't found any proof to tell him otherwise.

They told the same story to the Parkers and Evans, including that it had been Mr. Harding who had killed Liz and David's mother and made a few accommodations so no mention of non-human's encounters were mentioned.

Liz looked at her friends and remembered there had been a lot of explanations, but there was still some work to be done for them to regain their trust in each other. Liz knew that Maria had been hurt immensely by the secrets she had kept for so long, but decided that she would make it up to her somehow.

Max interrupted Liz's thoughts as he gently tugged her shoulder. "Liz, are you okay?" When Liz nodded Max continued, "Come on. We are going back to the Crashdown."

Once they arrived at the Crashdown all worries left Liz as she enjoyed her time with her friends. Liz eyes locked with David and a silent agreement was made.

Maria interrupted their silent communication. "Liz, what are you thinking about?"

Liz saw David's nod and smiled. "Well, I was thinking how hard it is, and terrible to keep secrets from the ones you love, and how I never want to do it again."

"You better not, Lizzie, or I'll have to event a mind reading machine. Because boy, when you keep a secret it sure is a secret." Alex joked.

The Evans and the Parkers watched them and they were glad to finally be able to see them act as teenagers again. They were surprised at how easily the friendship between David and the rest had developed so quickly.
---
Michael still wasn't sure. "So this means, no more secrets?"

"No more secrets." David and Liz confirmed.

"They are so cute, when they do that!" Isabel said, knowing how much it bothered them.

"Elizabeth, did you know Isabel dreams to be a queen? In her dreams she has an ice castle and dress. I think it fits her--the nickname I've heard around, you know? 'Ice Queen'" David nodded his head approvingly. "Yep, it definitely fits her. Now Alex as the Ice King, well, I don't even want to think about it."

Isabel gasped and blushed as she heard David. She stood up from the booth and smack David upside the head. "How did you know?!" Isabel suddenly realized that she had unintentionally confirmed what David said as true blushed. "I m-e-an-t-"

Alex didn't know what to do, so he did the only thing that came to mind. "Izzy, I'm flattered. I didn't know you dreamt about me."

Isabel blushed more if that was even possible.

Everyone at the table was laughing. They still hadn't gotten used to the small banter David always managed to have with one of them.

Once David managed to control his laughter, "Well, I still have some tricks up my sleeve."

Liz couldn't have been happier, but a chill traveling up her spine interrupted her happiness. She looked around trying to find the source for it, but she didn't see anyone.

Max had felt her shiver. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, it's nothing. I love you." Liz said, quietly.

"I love you too." Max brought Liz's hand to his lips and kissed it. They turned their attention back to the others.

Unknown to them a figured watched them from the shadows. 'You think all the secrets have been discovered, but there's still so much you don't know. Soon you'll know the truth.

The End!!!
