Michael woke up earlier the next morning not having got much sleep, having Maria only in pajamas, only one floor up was too much for him. All night he just pictured her in really big ugly pajamas, but it didn't help. His thoughts stopped when he saw Maria coming down the stairs in a small black tank top and small shorts that looked like the ones Liz would go swimming in. Now those were some pajamas, he saw her heading for the kitchen so he got up and followed. When he got there she was making coffee, he came up behind her and started to kiss her neck. Right away she knew it was him so she leaned back into him and gave him more room on her neck to kiss, then she turned around and smiled up at him.

"Good morning." Maria said

"Yes it is." Michael said under his breath. Maria looked at him in only his boxers and thought it looked really good.

"Morning." They turned to see Liz walking into the kitchen, Maria turned back around and finished making the coffee, but Michael didn't let go.

"Michael, your not suppose to touch her." Max said coming in too. Michael smirked at the other boy.

"Ya, yesterday I wasn't. Today is a new day my boy." Michael said kissing Maria's neck again, Max and Liz just shook their heads.

"What's for breakfast?" Alex asked walking in to stand next to Liz. Everyone but Maria turned to watch Max as he helped himself to anything he wanted in the kitchen.

"Max where's Isabel?" Maria asked looking near the stairs

"Probably getting ready, you know her." Max said taking out more food.

"I'll go find her, I'm not hungry." Maria said walking out of the kitchen, Liz started after Maria saying she wasn't hungry either. When they got to Maria's room Isabel was there in a towel looking for clothes in her suitcase.

"Okay I'm going to take a shower than you can Liz. We can't let the boys use all the hot water now can we?" Maria said leaving the room smiling. Liz sat on the bed as she talked to Isabel about different things. An hour later all girls were ready and walked down stairs.

"Are you boys ready for the day?" Maria asked walking in. All three boys were sitting on the couch watching a football game on T.V not noticing the three girls.

"Your right skinny dipping sounds great!" Isabel said loudly, all three boys turned their heads to look at the girls.

"That's not funny." Michael said with Max and Alex nodding their heads.

"You wanna go skinny dipping Michael?" Maria asked walking over to him, slowly he nodded his head. Maria sat down next to him and put her face close to his.

"Maybe if your a good boy, we will. . .just the two of us." With that said Maria got up without kissing him and left the room with the other two girls. Michael put his head back on the back of the couch and groaned, while Max and Alex just shook their heads.

Half an hour later the phone rang and Maria answered it.

"Hello?" Maria asked

"Yeah, okay."

"When?"

"Where?"

"How long?"

"Okay, got it."

"Yeah of course."

"We'll be there in four days." With that Maria hung up the phone.

"Max, Isabel can I talk to you guys?" Maria asked, they nodded and the three walked to the backyard. Michael, Liz and Alex could see them talking, they were serious for a few minutes then smiled. After about ten minutes they came back inside and Maria and Isabel went upstairs while Max headed out the front. Liz followed the two girls upstairs to see what was going on. In the room Maria and Isabel were putting their things into the bags.

"Where are you going?" Liz asked walking up to them.

"Chicago." Isabel said not looking at her.

"Oh, today?" Liz asked getting sad that they were going to leave.

"Yeah. . .you wanna come?" Maria asked, they looked at Liz.

"Why are you going?" Liz asked

"My cousin needs my help." Was all that Maria said.

"Um. . .okay. How much will it cost?" Liz looked around the room embarrassed.

"Nothing, my parents will cover it. Even though they won't know about it, will your parents care?" Isabel asked closing her suitcase.

"No, I'll go pack." Liz said with a smile. Maria and Isabel smiled also glad that she was coming. Downstairs Michael and Alex were still confused, when Max came back in and went upstairs they followed.

"What's going on?" Michael asked crossing his arms over his chest, before Max could answer the three girls walked in with their suitcases.

"My cousin called and said he needed help. So we're going to Chicago to help him, Liz is coming with us do you two want to come too?" Maria said, Michael and Alex took one look at Maria and Isabel and nodded their heads.

"So your coming?" Max asked Liz quietly, when she nodded he gave her a big smile and took her suitcase.

"Okay, Isabel, Max and I will ride in my car while you three take Max's." Maria instructed. They were all packed and now standing in front of the house. Everyone nodded and got into the cars they were suppose to be in. Once everyone was set Isabel (who was driving Maria's car with Maria in the passenger seat and Max in the back) pulled out into the street first with Michael (he's driving, Alex is in the passenger seat and Liz is in the back) following. After twenty minutes the two cars were driving in the middle of nowhere, when Isabel started to go twenty miles per hour over the speed limit. Michael didn't want to loose them so he went faster too. Soon Isabel was going about eighty in the fifty-five mile per hour zone and Michael started to get worried. ::By the way both cars are convertibles::

"Why are they going so fast? Is something wrong with Maria's cousin?" Liz asked worried also.

"I don't think anything serious." Alex said as he pointed to the car in front of them. Isabel was looking straight ahead, Max was lounging in the back seat with both of his arms resting on the seat behind him. All of the sudden Maria put her hands in the air and screamed a happy like scream (if there's even such a thing), jumping out of her seat a little. Isabel picked up speed and Max laughed with her and Maria, they looked fine. When the sky started to get dark Isabel pulled the car into a town to stop for the night, soon they found a nice hotel near the highway.

"Okay I got three rooms." Isabel said holding up the keys, Maria grabbed one a started toward the room with her things, on her way past Michael she grabbed his hand and pulled him along with her. Everyone watched them with wide eyes, Isabel smirked and got an idea.

"Hey Alex. Share a room with me?" Isabel asked bravely, Alex smiled and nodded. They left for their room, Max and Liz stood in the lobby for a few seconds blushing. They weren't the most outgoing and blunt people in the group.

"Well. . .at least you won't be rooming with Michael. When we were little Michael and me would stay at Alex's house and Michael wasn't all that fun. Cranky." Liz said smiling, Max smiled down at her and took her hand, Liz looked up surprised.

"I was hoping we'd share a room." Max whispered.
~~~~~~~~`

"So only one bed." Alex observed

"Yeah, is that okay with you? Cause I can probably get Max to switch with me." Isabel said quietly, thinking he was grossed out by the thought of sharing a bed with her. No one had ever made her feel so small with only four words. Alex's eyes got wide.

"No, no this is fine for me. . .great. . .wonderful. . ." Alex said blabbing, Isabel smiled a little.

"What side do you want me to stay on?" Alex asked when they were dressed for bed.

"It doesn't matter." Isabel said coming out of the bathroom. Alex just climbed into the side closest, Isabel went in after him. He turned on the television and she curled up in his arms surprising him even more. He looked down at her, she was beautiful! What was she wanting with him?

"Thank you Alex." Isabel said simply.

"For what?" Alex asked confused.

"Being so nice, all the other guys just wanted to get into bed with me. You didn't even want to be in bed with me. . ." Alex cut Isabel off.

"What?! Are you kidding! I thought you didn't want to be here with me, your so beautiful, nice and sweet." Alex got quieter at the end of his statement.

"You make me laugh, feel special. You nice and sweet and cute. I like you a lot Alex." Isabel said looking up at him.

"I like you too Isabel." Alex said as he leaned down to kiss her, after their kiss they snuggled up and started to fall asleep, happy.

~~~~~~~~~

"So did you like it in Chicago?" Liz asked Max, he looked at her. They were both laying in the big bed ready to go to sleep.

"Yeah, I had Isabel and Maria. We knew people, how to get around, what to do for fun. It was great." Max said in the dark hotel room.

"So your angry that you moved to Roswell?" Liz asked, Max didn't say anything for a minute.

"No."

"Why?"

"Because I met you." Max said quietly.

"Why do you like me? You rich and cute! I'm trailer trash and has never had a makeover before." Liz said starting to cry, she was wondering what he wanted with her. She was nothing. All of the sudden she felt his hand on her shoulder, she turned to look at him.

"I met you and I thought that you were the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. Then you were in my science class loving science just as much as me. You loved the same things as me, you were sweet, nice. . .everything that I had ever looked for in a girl. When we say that money doesn't matter to us it's true, we're rich because our parents are. I don't want you to talk like that again, okay?" Max said honestly, Liz nodded and Max took her tears away softly. Then he laid down again and put his arms around her waist kissing her on the cheek. They fell asleep like that.

"So princess you were pretty blunt out there." Michael said walking into the huge hotel room.

"That's how I get what I want spaceboy." Maria said smiling a little.

"Spaceboy?" Michael asked rising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, your sorta spacey and a boy. . .so. . ." Maria said not really paying attention to what she was saying. She took her pajamas out of her bag and walked into the bathroom, once there she started the shower and didn't totally close the door. Michael shook his head and smirked, this wasn't good! A naked Maria was right there and the door wasn't even shut! Michael stripped to his boxers and laid on the bed closing his eyes. He didn't know how much time passed but all the sudden there was weight on his stomach, opening his eyes he found Maria straddling him with a confused look on her face.

"What?" Michael asked teasingly she was wearing the same pajamas as last night.

"What are we?" Maria asked sorta scared of his answer

"What?" Michael asked confused.

"What are we? Friends? Just someone we know? A couple?" Maria asked the last one quietly, she looked down at his chest and realized that was a bad place, it was very defined.

"Um. . ." Michael said, she was rich. He wasn't, what did she want? Michael thought to himself. When he didn't answer Maria got off him and sat down the farthest she could from him on the bed.

"Never mind." She muttered, there was a few moments of silence.

"I don't want anyone to ever look at you, touch you or even think about you in any shape, way or form." Michael said quietly as he moved closer to her, at the end of his sentence he kissed deeply. Then looked into her eyes.

"If that's going to happen your going to have to be mine. So your mine now." Michael said again kissing her, he pulled her back with him so his back was against the wall, they didn't break lip contact.

"So. . .we're a couple?" Maria asked as he kissed her neck.

"Uh huh. . .your mine." Michael muttered. They continued to kiss till they needed air, after their long makeout session Michael pulled Maria to him so she was half on him and half off, he was holding her like someone was trying to take her away. They fell asleep with smiles on their faces.
