Maria pouted, watching the whole gang retreat back into the Crashdown. Maria watched Carey approach her, and Maria started to smile, slightly. "Hey."
"Hi there, I'm Carey." Carey smiled at Maria and then ran his fingers through his hair before sliding down into the booth sitting down next to Maria.
"Hi." Tess slid into the booth next to Jack. "I'm Tess." Tess smiled, "You're cute."
Jack looked over at Tess, a bewildered look in his eyes but then he smiled. He never really had a girl just come out and say he was cute, but now that is has happened... he liked it. "Hi Tess, I'm Jack." Jack smiled goofily but then inverted his eyes to his apple pie, trying to take his mind off of Tess.
Fi sighed as she watched her brother, and her two male friends drool and actually try to strike up an actual conversation. She rested her chin in her hands and stared at the slice of pie in front of her.
"I'm not used to quiet girls." Michael looked around, and laid his eyes on Maria, talking to Carey. "But I'm guessing you're different".
"Nice to meet you Jack. Where are you from?" Tess sat on the back of her legs, watching Jack squirm. "Do you have a girlfriend back home?" Tess raised an eyebrow, waiting for the answer.
Jack's smile grew even bigger, usually he would get upset talking about his non-existent love life, but for some reason he wasn't with Tess. "No girlfriend back home. One because we are always on the road and it's hard to keep a relationship working, two because no good relationship could last with my weird little sister Fiona and three because the girl I was dating broke up with me about a month ago." Jack knew he was telling this beautiful blonde girl too much, but once he opened his mouth he couldn't stop the words from leaving it.
Fi looked at her brother and rolled her eyes at him calling her weird, but right now hitting him with an insult wasn't the best thing to do, too many witnesses to see their childish name calling game... oooh wait until we get on the bus Fi thought to herself. Fi turned her head and stared at Michael oddly. "I bet a guy like you isn't used to the quiet girls, more like the squeamish blonde girls." Fi's eyes widened for a second realizing what she said; Fi took a bite of her pie, adverting her brown eyes away from Michael.
"I'm sorry," Michael stepped back. "What crawled and died up your ass? I'm trying to be friendly."
Fi stared at Michael, feeling a little foolish for her little outburst on him, she hardly knew the guy and he already didn't like her. It wasn't her fault, but she was very defensive, hell if you had Jack Phillips for a brother you would learn to be on your toes.
"Nothing crawled and died up my ass." Fi gathered her coat. "I'm going to the rehearsal with mom, okay Jack?" When all Jack did was wave a dismissal hand, Fi shook her head and left the diner but not before glancing back at Michael... god he was cute, and she was making a complete ass of herself.
"Carey what?" Maria rested her head in her hands. "Carey the mystery man?" Maria asked.
Carey smirked, he did his best not to laugh at the beautiful girl in front of him. "Nah, Carey Bell. But I think I can live being mysterious." Carey leaned into the counter, his eyes never leaving Maria's.
Maria held her breath to keep her legs from melting. "Carey Bell." A smile curled on her lips. "Carey Bell, huh?"
Carey nodded. "Yep, that's my name. So Maria, what does a guy have to do to get a look around this town?"
"Only flirt with the cutest waitress at the Crashdown!" Maria replied, thankful she had found her courage. "What do you have in mind, and maybe I can be of service!"
Carey's smile grew even bigger. "Well, if I could say you look ravishing today miss DeLuca." Carey got up and reached his hand to Maria. "I was sort of thinking of spending the day with the most beautiful girl in Roswell, New Mexico, what do you think?"
Maria raised her eyebrows, and laughed. "I have no problem with that." Maria smiled, taking his hand. "My favorite past time is shadowing handsome strangers." *OMG!* Maria screamed to herself. *Oh my god!*
Carey smirked. "And my favorite past time is walking beside the most beautiful woman in the world." Carey winked at her and then guided them out of the restraunt.
"So long Liz!" Maria hooked her arm through Carey's, laughing.
Liz shook her head. "Bye Maria." Liz looked back at Clu, eating his pie. "Can I get you anything else?"
Clu looked up at Liz, and grinned to himself; He had totally forgotten that Liz, he believed her last name was Parker, was in front of him. "Well---" Clu looked around the diner. "A little conversation wouldn't suck, seems that my friends ditched me."
Clu finished eating his pie, he pushed the plate to the side and smiled at Liz, he then adverted his eyes to Isabel and Michael and then back to Liz. "So, what's his problem?" Clu pointed to Michael, who looked rather pissed off.
"I mean yeah sure Fi can be a little aggravating, but she's not that bad. She and that Alex seemed to hit it off." Clu looked back at Michael regretting his words when he saw the look on Michael's face. Clu turned back to Liz. "Is he always like that?"
"I think that's it." Liz said quietly. "Not always. Michael can be friendly." Liz held her breath. "Sometimes."
Clu glanced over at Michael and shook his head and turned his gaze back at Liz. "Well right now, he doesn't look like a friendly guy. Hey when is your break? You get a break right?" Clu smiled, waiting for Liz's answer.
"I don't like them." Michael hissed.
"You don't like them?" Isabel looked at Michael amused. "I could have sworn you were just..." Isabel flung her arm towards the empty booth.
"I don't like them." Michael cut Isabel off, drilling his eyes into her. "Okay?"
She nodded. "Sure Michael. It's not over you know. You can still "get her back" "
Michael glared over at Clu and Liz, deep in conversation. "I know."
Tess bit down on her bottom lip, trying to hide the smile. "Do you like mystery and adventure?" Tess's eyes danced. "We need to majorly hang out Jack."
Jack stared at Tess, his eyes engulfed in hers, he kept reminding himself that if he didn't speak Tess would think that he didn't like her. "Mystery and adventure? Never been my thing, that would be Fi's thing, but I can get used to it." Jack smiled, but then he turned realizing his sister wasn't there, and then he turned and stared at Michael.
"It's going to be your thing!" Tess jumped from the booth into Michael. "What's your problem?" Tess glared.
"His sister is now officially my problem." Michael responded, his voice dense.
"Whatever." Tess replied. "You!" Tess pointed at Jack. "What are the day's plans?"
Jack got up and stared at Michael warily, but then quickly adverted his eyes to Tess. "Well actually, I have no plans as of yet. Usually I have to tag along and play babysitter to my sister but she seems to have been accompanied by one of your friends, so I'm free."
"Well I'm ready when you are." Tess replied.
Michael watched Alex proudly parade off with Fi.
Jack pushed himself up and walked over to Tess and smiled at her, maybe coming to Roswell wasn't as bad as he thought it was going to be.
"Been ready." Jack eyed Michael and then walked over to the diner door and held it open for Tess.
"Hey, wait wait wait." Alex ran after Fi. "Alex, Alex Whitman. Mind if I tag along?" Alex asked.
Fi stopped her fast walking, and looked up and smiled warily at the person in front of her. She didn't know what to think of this town or the people in it, but he looked trustworthy enough. "Hi Alex. I'm Fiona Phillips, my friends call me Fi. Sorry for my, uh, behavior in there." Fi tousled her hair back. "Sure you can come along, I was gonna check out my mom's rehearsal." Fi pointed to the direction she was going and started to walk slowly in the direction of where her mother was playing.
"Ahh, classy place." Alex looked over his shoulder, motioning to Max, who just looked pissed. "I love this theater, it---" Alex stopped. "Seriously Fi, I have no idea what I'm talking about." Alex grinned.
Fi grinned at Alex as well, she pulled her hair into a pony-tail and looked around the place but then adverted her eyes back to Alex. "Don't worry, I never worry about the theater, I particularly pay attention to the music, and the company." Fi grabbed Alex's arm. "And you mister Whitman are the best company to be with, so what do you say me and you meet Molly Phillips?"
"You mean, THE Molly Phillips?" Alex's ears turned red. "Wow."
"The one and only, hey is he coming?" Fi pointed to Max, who was standing in a corner, still looking pissed.
"Oh and by the way Alex, thanks for asking if you could tag along." Fi smiled.
"No problem." Alex said, he looked away from Fi and slapped his hand across his forehead. "I don't know, hey Max!" Alex frowned. "He just broke up with his girlfriend and he's not exactly over her, and that dorky surfer looking guy you brought in was hitting on her."
Fi stared at Max, she let her brown eyes sink into his eyes, there was something sad about Max Evan's eyes that she didn't understand. Fi turned to Alex and gave him a look, Liz... which one was that? Oh yeah, the brunette. Liz liked Clu? Fi tried her best not to burst out laughing, this was just too funny. "The surfer guy would be Clu Bell. So he--" Fi pointed to Max. "Used to date Liz? What happened?"
"Um, you can't get around without a car, and mine's back there." Maria pointed to the alley. "Come on Carey Bell!"
Carey followed Maria over to her car, he looked at the car and smiled. "This is your car?" Carey raked his fingers through his hair and grinned again.
"Sorry Mr. Rockstar, I am only a waitress and high school student." Maria grinned from behind the wheel. "Are you coming?"
Carey laughed and crawled into the car and put his seat belt on and eyed Maria. "You kill me in this car---"
Michael lay his head on the table miserably.
"You're depressing me." Isabel exclaimed.
"Sorry." Michael sat up. "I can't figure out what I did wrong."
Isabel rolled her eyes, flipping through the textbook.
"Seriously, me over Alex?"
Isabel raised her eyes and gave Michael a LOOK.
"Right, sorry."
Isabel sighed. "You know where they're staying, where her mother is, Michael, why are you here?"
"AND SAY WHAT?" Michael said loudly, shrinking down after Clu and Liz turned and stared at him.
"I think you know." Isabel said calmly.
Michael shook his head. "No," Michael blinked. "Hi, I just met you, there's something about you that's haunting me." Michael said sarcastically.
"Uh-huh." Isabel muttered.
"I never realized what help you could be to me Isabel." Michael groaned.
"Anytime." Isabel answered deep in thought.
"Hi there, I'm Carey." Carey smiled at Maria and then ran his fingers through his hair before sliding down into the booth sitting down next to Maria.
"Hi." Tess slid into the booth next to Jack. "I'm Tess." Tess smiled, "You're cute."
Jack looked over at Tess, a bewildered look in his eyes but then he smiled. He never really had a girl just come out and say he was cute, but now that is has happened... he liked it.

Clu finished eating his pie, he pushed the plate to the side and smiled at Liz, he then adverted his eyes to Isabel and Michael and then back to Liz. "So, what's his problem?" Clu pointed to Michael, who looked rather pissed off.
"I mean yeah sure Fi can be a little aggravating, but she's not that bad. She and that Alex seemed to hit it off." Clu looked back at Michael regretting his words when he saw the look on Michael's face. Clu turned back to Liz. "Is he always like that?"
