Feedback: Pretty please??
Author's Notes: Alrighty, here's the second part. It'll be confusing for awhile with the whole Tess/Isabel(these are NOT 'ships, you'll see what I mean when you read it), Michael/Max, Max/Michael etc, but I'll try to make it as easy to read as possible. After awhile I'll just use the new names, OK? Also, I delayed the shooting a little because it didn't work into the plot to have them pull out the gun at that time. Let's just say Tess/Isabel delayed them a bit by asking them if they wanted desert.

"You are so bad girl," Maria teased. Liz's eyes widened. What the..?
Maria continued, "Oh, and Max Evans is staring at you again."
Liz glanced over at the table where she knew Max and Michael would be sitting. They were there all right, but something was wrong with this scene. It was Michael that was looking at her with his intense stare, not Max. As soon as he saw her looking in his direction, however, he turned away.
Liz shook her head and quickly said, "Max Evans? This? No, un uh...it's not..."
"And with those cheeks! Preciosita tan linda!"
"Maria! And, and even if it weren't I'm going out with Kyle. I mean, he's steady and loyal, and he appreciates me."
Maria snorted. "Sounds like you're describing a poodle."
"Hey Ria, Lizzie, heads up!" Liz looked up just in time to see Tess in a CrashDown uniform zoom past them, her arms full of empty trays.
Maria grinned at her, "Busy day, huh Iz?"
Tess/Isabel laughed and set the trays down. "You bet. You better stop dawdling, you two. Agnes is on her break and I'm practically sweating blood out here."
"Yes Queen Isabel, ma'am, sir." Maria giggled.
"Very funny." Tess/Isabel swatted at Maria with her order book. "Now shoo!"
"Ria, Isabel!" Jose shouted. "Your orders are ready!"
"I'll catch up with you two in a minute, OK?" Liz said.
"Alright Liz," said Tess/Isabel. "Coming Jose!" She and Maria walked away.
Liz let out a long sigh and then walked into the back room. Some one, if she didn't act fast, was probably going to get shot. Quickly she grabbed the phone and began dialing.
"Hello? Sheriff? This is Liz Parker. There are two men at the CrashDown and one of them has a gunNo, they haven't threatened anyone, I'd just feel better if you came down hereThank you very much. Goodbye Sheriff."
Liz's head was spinning. Some how, although she didn't have even the slightest notion why, she had gotten sucked into some alternate universe. But she didn't really have time to think about that now, she had to get back out there.
As soon as Liz walked back into the main part of the restaurant she heard Jose calling her name. "Liz! Where were you? This food is about to get cold!"
Liz walked over and began to pile the plates on trays. That's when it happened.
It was all like déjà vu. She heard the first man's menacing voice, "...you ask me to give you another day!!?? You're running outta time."
She heard the dishes fall to the floor, breaking into dangerous shards, and Maria's frightened, "Liz!"
"I want the money today. NOT tomorrow!" She watched, as if in slow motion, the second man pull a gun, point it at the first man, pull back the triggerand all she could think was, it was all going to happen exactly like it did before, it was too late, too late
"Freeze! Put the gun down and raise your hands above your heads." The Sheriff. Liz let out a sigh of relief. Maybe everything would be alright, after all.
