Scene Two

Scene Two

Liz: Maria, what is it? What's wrong?

Maria: How can you stand it? I'm such a fool. I should have done what you did.

Liz: What are you talking about? Stand what? Should have done what? Start from the beginning.

Maria: I saw them,

Liz: Saw who? Tess and Max?

Maria: Why does everything have to be about Max?

Liz: Sorry, Michael and who?

Maria: Isabel, Michael and Isabel, they were hugging.

Liz: They are like brothers and sister…

Maria: It's not just that, it's the whole destiny thing. If…I mean when they leave and they're on their own planet….

Liz: (Finally understanding) I'm so sorry…

Maria: I thought that if you and Max could break the destiny thing I thought that Michael and I had a chance. That as long as he couldn't leave you, I could keep Michael here. There's nothing that we can do is there?

Liz: Maria….I guess I should have told you this before but I was trying to understand it myself. About Max and me.

Maria: Liz, I don't want to be rude or anything but best friend having an emotional crisis here! Lets talk about me.

Liz: But it has to do with why Max and I aren't together. It wasn't destiny at least not the way everyone thinks.

Maria: What? What do you mean?

Liz: Before Max and I broke up, Max, one from the future, came and told me that in the future everyone, you, Michael, Isabel, Alex were going to die because Tess left the group and they weren't strong enough to beat the Skins.

(Show flashing scenes from episode where Future Max visits, him climbing into her window and asking Liz to fall out of love with him, one where he watched them kissing, and the one where they are dancing)

Maria: Future? Max from the future? So you know the future.

Liz: Well sort of, the future that would happen if Max and I stayed together.

Maria: Oh Liz, why didn't you tell me? (They both start crying) That's why you were trying to get them together. It all makes sense. Wait a second….did you say Alex, you mean Alex didn't die until later?

Liz: I don't know, but I feel responsible for his death. What if I hadn't change things, Alex could still be alive. At least the Alex that we knew.

Maria: It doesn't make sense, wait a second, how did Future Max come here?

Liz: It had something to do with the Granolith.

Maria: So we can go back in time?

Liz: I guess so…

Maria: We should tell the others.

Liz: What good will it do? They don't know how to do it yet.

Maria: They still should know about it though. Hey, maybe Alex's coding thing will tell them how to do it. Michael…

Liz: Maria no! You can't tell anyone about this, promise me…

Maria: They have a right to know…

Liz: If you tell…

Maria: Yeah yeah, you're going to hate me forever, our friendship is over, and wait until I'm asleep and turn me into a blood sucking alien…

(They both smile and the scene fades)
