PART 8-REVIVAL
Michael looked down at Max and saw Liz there.
"I was wondering where you were, I went to your
work, and you weren't there. I knew you'd
be…concerned." Michael said.
"I, I knew. I got these flashes, they were so
weird, of, of everything. I knew about Tess and
Khivar, and Tess is Vilandra, and Max being…hurt. I
saw the wedding, and I saw you all healing Nasedo,
except he turned into Max. And that's how I know we
have to use the healing stones on Max. It's the only
way we can bring him back, Michael." Liz said.
"Wow. Liz, you've never gotten flashes before, except
when you were…connected with Max, I mean, right?"
Maria asked.
"Umm, well…yeah. But there are some things you guys
don't know," replied Liz, cautiously.
"What do you mean?" Isabel asked.
"Well, ahh, me and Max, umm…a few nights ago…" Liz's
voice trailed off.
"Oh, Liz! You must be so happy! I mean until…hmm"
Maria exclaimed. She hugged her friend. "Why didn't
you tell me???" Maria whispered into Liz's ear.
"I, it just, never came up." Liz answered simply.
"Well, we've gotta go." Michael stated.
"Yeah." Isabel agreed. Michael and Isabel picked up
Max and dragged him out to Isabel and Alex's car. They
put him gently in the back seat and Liz, Alex, and
Maria got in with him. Isabel and Michael sat up
front. Michael drove non-stop to Roswell, where the
cave was that they all knew so well. Michael and
Isabel once again dragged Max out of the car and
towards the cave. Michael opened the door, and they
all climbed in. Michael and Isabel went in last, and
brought Max with them. Once they were all inside,
Michael and Isabel laid Max down and Michael went to
retrieve the healing stones. Michael returned and all
five of them placed the stones around Max. Michael and
Isabel concentrated on bringing Max back to life and
the three humans did the same, in their own way. Soon
the stones started to glow and Michael, Maria, Isabel,
Alex and Liz could see Max changing. Liz had seen it
before, of course, but she was still worried about the
outcome. Finally the lights in the stones went out and
Max looked normal again. Everyone waited expectantly.
Nothing happened. Liz began to rock back and forth on
her knees, praying for Max to be okay, to return to
her. Maria came over to her and put her arms around
her.
"It'll be okay..." Maria whispered. Liz was
shaking. Then they all heard Isabel's gasp. Liz looked
at Max, and saw his eyes flutter open.
"What happened?" He asked, groggily.
"You were killed by Khivar." Michael said.
"I, I was? I don't remember any of it. Where is
he? What happened after I...umm, passed out?" Max
asked.
"Michael killed Khivar and Tess. Do you remember
what Tess told us?" Isabel replied.
"All I rememeber is that Tess said she was
Vilandra, and then there was a flash of light, and I
saw Khivar...and that's it. That's all I remember."
Max said.
"That's about it. Once Khivar, ah, knocked you
out, Michael killed him and Tess. Then he went to get
Maria, Alex, and Liz, but Liz found her way to the
apartment all by herself. She said she had these weird
flashes, and knew you were in trouble. She saved you,
Max. Liz was the one who told us to use the stones."
Isabel told Max.
"Flashes?" Max asked, finally turning his
attention to the other side of the room, where Maria
and Liz were sitting.
"Yeah, sort of like the ones I used to get when
we kissed, except they came on their own. I felt your
pain, Max. I knew. It was like a constant connection
to you. I felt what you felt, I knew what you knew. It
was like I was a part of you, and you were a part of
me." Liz said.
"Wow." Maria exclaimed.
"Liz..." Max trailed off. Maria got up from her
spot next to Liz and took Michael's hand. They left
the cave, followed closely by Isabel and Alex. Once
they were gone Max and Liz approached eachother.
"Max, I saw something else in those flashes too.
I saw me and you, and we were married and we had a
family. And Michael and Maria and Alex and Isabel were
there too. And all our kids were playing together. Oh
Max, it was such a wonderful feeling." Liz said. Max
took her in his arms.
"I love you, Liz Parker. Will you marry me?" Max
asked. Liz's face broke into the first smile it had
seen since the last time they had been together, on
that magical night.
"Yes! I will!" Liz said, happily. The two of them
kissed, and Liz whispered into his ear:
"I think I'm pregnant." Max just laughed.They
both felt like they were floating on cloud nine. A
marriage and a baby, their family was going to be big
and loving, and neither of them could wait for it all
to start.
Soon Max and Liz emerged from the cave, hand in
hand, huge smiles on both of their faces.
"What exactly happened in there?" Alex asked.
"We're getting married!" Liz exclaimed.
"OMG! Liz, I'm sooooooooo happey for you! This is
so exciting! We can have a double wedding, and and..."
Maria went on and on.
"I guess we're having a double wedding huh?"
Michael said to Max.
"Guess so." Max said.
"Okay, there's more." Liz said, when Maria
finally ceased to talk about wedding plans. "I'm,
I'm...pregnant!"
"Liz, Max, we're so happy for you!" Isabel said.
"That is just so great!"
After all the excitment and congratulations were
over, everyone headed back to the car, and began to
head home.
