Rating: If you're old enough to watch the show you can read this.
Author's note: What should have happened in The Balance when Maria, Max, Isabel and Alex were connecting with Michael.
Song: Thank you by Dido. Check out her album if you haven't already. It's great!
Maria stood there holding the stone in her hand and concentrated her mind blank. Suddenly a rush of images flew into her mind.
Seeing Michael standing with Isabel and Max when they were 9.
Michael hitting some guy when he was 11 while Maria watched on.
The day of the shooting. Delivering Max and Michael's food. Michael staring very obviously at her chest to annoy her.
Michael touching her chest at the crash festival.
Michael glaring at her after she returned from Valenti's office.
His face after she lied to the cop on the way to Marathon.
The looks he'd given her in the porno Aladdin's room, like when he told her to lock the door or when she'd landed on him when Liz, Max and Isabel came in.
Michael asking her to help them with the files.
Their first kiss in the Crashdown.
Awkward meeting on the corridor before Liz rang to tell her about Max.
The crazy make out session during the heatwave.
The break up at the party.
When Michael came to her when she needed him and the sweet kisses they shared.
The fear when her and Isabel were nursing him.
The next thing she knew she kept seeing the same image over and over again. She was in a whacked out version of the desert outside of Roswell. She saw herself kissing Michael softly. The next thing she knew was blackness as she fell to the floor.
"Maria!" Liz yelled as she saw her best friend fall to the ground and the others be ejected forcefully from whatever dream state they had been in. They all rushed over to Maria who was lying on the ground her body curled up.
Max tried to heal her but that was rather difficult considering there was nothing visibly wrong with her.
Isabel tried to dream walk but she was barred.
There was nothing they could do.
River dog spoke for the first time since Maria had collapsed.
"What is her connection with the boy?" he asked.
The group looked at each other.
"They were together for about a week then he broke up with her," Liz informed him
River Dog smiled.
"What?" Isabel asked.
"Lay her beside him. They will have to heal each other," he said.
Alex and Max lifted her and placed her on her back next to him.
As soon as they had moved away, the webbing that covered Michael glowed then stretched out covering Maria. It closed over the two. They saw Maria's body curl into Michael's and his to cradle hers.
"What's happening to them?" Liz and Max asked at the same time.
"The man warned me there might be others. Others who might be humanised. Who might have relationships with humans. She has so much love for him and he for her it brought her to him," he said.
"Are they alright?" Isabel asked.
"What they have is pure enough to bridge the gap between fantasy and reality. As long as they stick together they will emerge unharmed," Riverdog explained.
"Then all we can do is wait," Alex sighed.
When the blackness faded Maria found herself in the place where the last vision occurred. Even more surprising Michael Guerin was sitting over head, shading her form the intense heat that was burning down on them.
"Maria, are you OK?" he asked looking at her.
"Where the hell am I?" she said sitting up. Michael slipped his hands behind her lower back and helped her sit.
"I have no idea," he replied bluntly.
Suddenly she reached over and hit him.
"What was that for?" he questioned rubbing his head.
"For scaring me half to death. And sucking me here," she pouted.
"Me? How did I do that?"
"Well Spaceboy we were doing this healing ritual thing with Riverdog. He warned us that helping you might damage our physical and mental being," she told him.
Michael smirked.
"I notice nothing damaged in the physical," he cracked.
She blushed.
"So I guess you're stuck with me until they get us out of here or we die. Whichever comes first," she smiled.
He extended a hand to help her up and they walked off to the shade of a over hanging rock.
"So what exactly is going on out there?"
"Well……."
"Michael I'm scared," Maria whispered.
He looked at her and gingerly moved closer.
"It'll be alright," he told her.
She curled up next to him and he followed her down.
He slowly placed his arm around her and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.
"Sleep,"
Her only response was to curl up tighter into him.
The 5 people in the cave sat and watched the still forms lying in the cave. Suddenly Michael's arm was breaking through the webbing while the rest of his body sheltered Maria from it.
Once again everyone rushed forward, Max and Isabel rushing to Michael and Liz and Alex rushing to Maria.
From the embraces Michael continued to look at Maria.
"No more running," he said.
Maria smiled before being pulled into a hug by Max and Isabel.
