Author's Note: Thanks for all the feedback! :)
Liz sighed in relief as Max drove the jeep over a hill, the pod chamber coming into view. The others were safe. She could see Maria's Jetta parked in front, which meant everyone was already inside. She smiled and wondered idly how they could fit so many people in one small car....
As the jeep came to a halt Liz glanced over at Max, who was staring back at her with the same sparkle in his eyes. It was finally over. They had defeated the enemy and now they could live their lives as normal humans. They had suceeded in changing the future, enough so that 14 years from now they would not be shocked by the reappearance of the skins and forced to go to war. Things were going to be different from now on.
They both glanced to the backseat where Adri was sitting. She had her chin resting on her hand, and was staring off into the starry sky above. She looked deep in thought.
"Are you gonna be okay?" Liz asked quietly and Adri shifted her gaze to her reincarnated mother.
Adri gave her a reassuring smile. "I'll be fine now. My parents' souls can now rest peacefully."
Liz smiled and glanced at Max again to find that he was staring at her with a look of awe and wonder in his eyes. Liz swallowed past a lump in her throat. She gets to spend the rest of her life with this man? Just the thought made her heart start to beat faster and her stomach tingle with butterflies. She could hug him anytime she wanted, talk to him, kiss him, make lo-- Liz abruptly stopped her thoughts from going any further.
*This is just great,* Liz thought to herself. *We aren't even married yet and he can make me go crazy.* She cleared her throat and blushed a little, meeting Max's gaze again. She was taken aback by the look he was giving her. He had a mischevious grin on his face and arched his eye brows knowingly. She narrowed her eyes at him, causing him to break out into a full smiled and start laughing. Liz gasped and covered her hand over her mouth in surprise. He had iheard/i her thoughts! When he continued laughing she punched his shoulder and gave him a playful scowl.
Adri eyed the two's interaction with raised eyebrows. This wasn't possible. They acted iexactly/i like they had in the previous life! She slowly jumped out of the jeep and dusted off her pants. When she looked back up at the two Max had gotten out of the jeep and was walking over to Liz's door to open it for her. Adri smiled and rolled her eyes.
--------------
"Alls I'm sayin' is why do they have to leave inow/i for?" Michael demanded to know. "I mean, how do we know that all the skins were killed?"
Katie sighed and shook her head. "Michael, I'm going to tell you this for the last time. All skins, or Gerona's as they're called on Antar, have a chip implanted in them at birth. When the ruler is killed it causes a chain reaction, thus ending their existence."
Magnolia walked up to Michael. "Kivar....dead." She said as if she were talking to a five year old. "Skins.....gone. Get it now?"
Michael rolled his eyes and muttered something under his breath. He walked around and kicked a rock, making Maria gasp.
"You're going to miss them!" She exclaimed and then a goofy grin appeared on her face. "That's so sweet."
Michael turned around to face his future wife and daughter. "Oh gimme a break...."
Magnolia gasped and smiled. "You iare/i going to miss me!"
"No I'm not!" Michael stated firmly. "In fact, I can't wait until you're 14 years away from me!"
"Oh iyeah/i?" Magnolia started.
Katie, Gabriel, and Stan stood on the opposite side of the cave smiling at the scene in front of them.
"Things are pretty normal in the year 2000. Almost exactly like it is in 2020." Gabriel mused and Katie nodded her head in agreement.
Stan groaned. "You guys I just remembered something."
"What?" Katie asked.
"We have school tomorrow morning. Actually...." Stan paused and looked at his watch. "We have school in half an hour."
"No way!" Magnolia yelled as she spun around. "It can't be Monday morning already!"
Stan held his arm up. "Believe it baby, we've got home room in less than 30 minutes."
Katie groaned and leaned into Gabriel's warm embrace. "But we just saved the world.....I don't wanna go to school."
"I think we should complain to the school board." Stan said firmly. "They should add 'Killing Evil Leaders of Other Planets' on the excused absence list."
Suddenly the cave door opened and Max, Liz, and Adri walked through it. Max and Liz were holding hands, as usual.
"Where's Tess?" Isabel asked, seeing the door close behind them.
"On my ship." Adri answered.
"Your......ship?" Alex asked.
"The ship that brought me here to Earth. I'm going to return her to her home planet.....where she's wanted to go all along. Although..." She paused and smiled. "I have a feeling she is in for a big surprise when she gets there."
"Yeah I'll say." Michael muttered under his breath.
"What exactly is going to happen to Antar?" Liz asked. "I mean, since Kivar and the skins aren't controlling it...who is going to rule it?"
"I am the heir to the throne, I will return to Antar and rule it.... with my husband." Adri said and the last part of her statement made the group's eyes widen.
"You're married?" Max asked and she nodded her head.
"To who??!!" Maria asked incredulously.
Adri laughed and her gaze fell upon her look-alike, Katie..... and Gabriel.
Everyone smiled at the realization, and Katie grinned at Gabriel. "Are you now officially creeped out by my weird family?"
She felt him tighten his grip around her waist. "Nah...." He smiled at her and brought his lips down on hers for a soft, sweet kiss.
"Yep, things are definetely back to normal." Stan said and Magnolia nodded her head in agreement.
Magnolia walked over to Michael and smiled at him. "Look, I'm sorry that I--"
Michael waved his arm passively. "You know, don't worry about it. You shouldn't be apologizing....I should."
"Can someone record that, I don't think he'll ever say it again." Maria whispered to Liz, making Liz giggle.
Magnolia stared into her fathers eyes and suddenly gave him a huge hug. "I love you.....dad."
Michael was so shocked he didn't realize he was hugging this girl....ihis/i girl, back. "I love you too."
As she pulled away, Magnolia wiped a few tears from her eyes. "Geez why am I getting so emotional? In a few minutes I'll be asking you for lunch money."
Michael smiled and lightly hit her chin with his hand. "Whatever you want kiddo."
Magnolia smiled even more at that statement. It was what he ialways/i said at moments like this.
Stan walked over to Alex and Isabel and hugged them both.
Then Katie walked over to Max and Liz. She looked at them both and smiled. "I'm so glad everything worked out ok. I--I don't know what I'd do without either of you."
Liz sniffed her nose, holding back tears. Max put his arm around her and the other around Katie, hugging them both tight against him.
"I love you." He whispered, just loudly enough so only they could hear. "Both of you."
After a few moments they all broke away, with Max still holding Liz close to his side.
The future teens said their good-byes to everyone else and walked towards the Granolith.
Suddenly, Katie stopped and turned around. "Oh yeah, I forgot something." She looked at Max and Liz and continued. "If by some chance one day, about 19 years from now, you both get home from work to find your daughter and her boyfriend in a somewhat...... comprimising position, Could ya do me a favor and go easy on her?"
The whole group laughed and Katie shrugged her shoulders. "It was worth a shot."
She turned back around and headed into the Granolith. Everyone in the pod chamber looked on as a brilliant light gleamed through the pods, then as quickly as it came, it went away, leaving the pod chamber in silence.
Alex sighed and ran his hands through his hair. "What a weekend."
"I hear ya." Maria said and shook her head. "It's too bad we've got school in a little bit."
Isabel laughed a little. "School. It sounds so.....dull after everything we've just went through."
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, and the cave was again consumed by silence.
"So Adri, how is it that you ilook/i like a teen, but you're actually 60-something years old?" Alex asked and looked up towards Adri.....except she wasn't there.
Everyone else noticed this, then saw the pod chamber door open.
"I guess she didn't want to say another good-bye." Max said and felt Liz grip his hand.
Michael put his arm around Maria. "What do you say we go get some breakfast? I for one could eat a cow...."
"When could you not?" Maria replied and started her morning banter with her beloved as they walked out of the cave, followed by Alex and Isabel murmuring about how much they hated Michael and Maria's consistant fighting.
Liz and Max were now alone for the first time in days and Max gloried the moment and held his Liz to him tightly. His Liz.....he loved that. He loved iher/i.
"I love you Max." Liz said as she snuggled closer in his warm embrace.
He brought his hand up to stroke her hair, and he gently kissed the top of her head. "I love you too, Liz."
"Hey guys!" Michael's voice interupted their moment. "Come out here you've gotta see this!"
Max exchanged confused glances with Liz and they both walked out of the pod chamber into the morning sky. Michael was pointing at something in the sky and they followed his gaze.... just in time to see a circular disk flying off into the horizon.
Max looked down at Liz and she smiled. Slowly, he bent his head down to press his lips against hers softly. Their life, had just begun.
*~* THE END...........or is it?*~*

EPILOGUE
"Gooooooood morning Roswell! It's 7:00 and we're spinning the hits to get your morning rockin'! Here's the newest single from 2Sweet entitled 'She don't love you....I do!'"
iWhat's yo problem?
I'm tellin' ya how it is
I saw her hangin all over ya
This mornin' in the gym
But baby you know she is a fake
she's just usin ya
Can't you tell....
Oh baby...
She don't love you like I do
(No, No)
She don't care 'bout ya
like I do
(No way, babe)
Don't you feel what I know is true?
She don't love you like I do
Oh yeah....
/i
Katie groaned and threw her alarm clock against the wall. If she heard that song one more time, she'd go insane.
She rolled around on her bed, desperately trying to convince herself that it wasn't Monday morning and she ididn't/i have to go to school. After a few minutes of struggling she reluctantly got up and stumbled over towards the door.
As she walked down the hallway, rubbing her eyes she saw her mom sitting at the kitchen table, sipping on a cup of coffee and reading the newspaper.
"Morning, honey bear." Her mom said warmly, then a frown appeared on her face. "Did you sleep in your clothes last night?"
Katie looked at her mother, then down to herself. She iwas/i wearing her clothes from the day before. But why? Katie gasped as she remembered the events of the past few days.
A door opened behind her and Max walked down the hallway. "Hey sleeping beauty. Finally decide to get up and join the living?"
Katie opened her mouth to say something, then watched her parents. Her dad walked into the kitchen and was pouring himself a cup of coffee. They were acting as if nothing had happened......
"Don't you guys remember?" Katie asked them and the both looked at her.
"Remember what sweetie?" Liz asked, looking at her daughter intently.
Katie opened her mouth to say something, but didn't. She sighed and scratched her head. Did she idream/i all of that?
"Are you alright?" Liz asked, concern evident in her voice. She reached out to put a hand on Katie's forehead. "You don't have a temperature. Are you not feeling well?"
Katie shook her head slowly. "I feel fine. I guess I just---" She paused, then looked back and forth from her parents. "You guys don't remember ianything/i about last weekend?"
Max arched his eyebrow and sat down across from Liz at the table. "What about last weekend?"
"Using the Granolith to travel back in time to save mom and destroy the skins.....remember?" Katie said and this caused a wild look from both her parents.
Max laughed and opened the morning newspaper. "Well honey, I'm sure we'd remember ithat/i if it happened!" Liz matched his laughter and picked up a bagel, handing it to Katie.
Katie took a bite of her breakfast, and looked at her parents again. She shrugged her shoulders and mumbled something about getting ready for school before turning around to go back to her room.
After a few moments of silence Liz cleared her throat and smiled secretively. "We iare/i going to tell her we remember, right?"
Max put down the newspaper to reveal his smile. "Tonight. Let's give her a day of mystery. You know how she's always talking about having an uneventful life....."
~The End!~
