************************************************************************
It was a normal afternoon in the CrashDown. As the last customer left Liz looked at her best friend Maria and said "I don't know what's wrong with me. I feel like my life has been a total lie". "When did you begin to feel this way?" Maria wanted to know. They sat down and Liz told her that the first time she felt it was after they reappeared after the Wipeout. She told her about the strange sensations she got in the first few days, but just as fast as it came they vanished. Maria looked at her friend and said "Why don't you go to bed and let me lock up. You need to rest". Liz could see that her friend was worried about her. She looked up into space and sigh "Maybe I just need a good night's sleep" "You just take care of yourself and don't let the Czechs interfere with your sleep" "I'll try" she said and went up the stairs.
As she opened her bedroom door she saw the bright light of the moon streaming onto her bed. Every emotion she tried to avoid came flooding back and the next thing she saw was a broken bed lamp. She knew that it wasn't broken when she came in, but now it was. It was an enigma to her, but she decided not to let it bother her. She climbed into her bed and for a few minutes she couldn't close her eyes it was as if there was something stopping her to go to sleep. While she fought the sleep the more persistent it was and she slowly went into the long awaited slumber.
"Honey Bear, I'm glad that you made it" "Grandma, what's wrong with me? Why does it feel like my life has been a lie?" Her grandmother took her hand and guided her towards a step and they sat down. "I know that this would be hard for you to hear, but I feel that it was time for me to tell you the truth" Liz looked at her grandmother and saw the sadness in her eyes. "What is it?" "The reason you feel this way is because it is so. It was me who found you in the desert and asked my son to adopt you when you were six years old". Liz looked baffled at the woman she became to know as grandmother for as long as what she could remember. "There's something else I need to say to you Honey Bear. I knew that you were special since the first time I saw you. You always talked about a special place where you found four kids who felt the same way you did. You also told me about a place in your heart that felt empty. I asked you if it was about your birth parents and you said no, it was your brother and sister you longed for. Then last year when I came to Roswell you looked so happy and I could see in your eyes that you met someone special, but I see that the sparkle has left your eyes. What happened?" "Grandma. I learned that the man I love with my heart and soul was meant for someone else and that he has a destiny to follow" her grandmother looked at the girl and said, "go into the desert you will find the answers to your questions"
She woke up feeling confused, what kind of dream did she just have? She looked at her alarm clock and saw that it was 07:30 and time for her to get dressed. Her parents were on their second honeymoon so she had the responsibilities for opening the restaurant. As she got dressed in her uniform she looked at the alien motive on her breast pocket and whispered "Why can't I just stay normal?" But she knew that it was one of those questions where the answers weren't invented. She stepped into the restaurant and opened the door. The first person to enter it was Michael "Hello, Liz how are you?" "Fine, but tired. I had trouble sleeping last night". He went into the kitchen and started to prepare for the morning rush hour. The next people to enter the CrashDown were her two friends Alex and Maria. She asked them if they could meet after school at the UFO Center. Maria looked at Liz and asked, "Aren't you scared that you might run into Max?" "Yes, I am, but what I'm about to tell you is more important than running into him there" As she said the last syllable she saw Max, Tess and Isabel come into the CrashDown. She looked at her watch and saw that it was time for them to go to school. As they sat in the homeroom she looked over to where Max sat with Tess and she could see everything he was thinking about. She rubbed her eyes and started to concentrate on her work. She could feel Max's eyes on her, but she wanted to avoid it. She was totally confused by what is happening to her. First it was those strange electric sensations she got, then there was the incident with her bed lamp and now the images she got from Max. Luckily time passed and the next she remembered was that she was standing inside the UFO Center waiting for her friends. She saw them coming towards her and as she looked at them she told them what happened in her dream. Maria looked at her and said, "I think that you must go and investigate it. It might be important, but what about Max and the others?" Liz looked at her and said, "If it's important to them I'll tell them, but if it's not then it's just between us. Please I need to do it on my own?" Maria looked firstly at Alex then back at Liz and said, "We'll keep it a secret, but if you need us come to us" "I will" As they left the Center she looked at the place and saw Max enters it. Their paths separated and she went into the desert. It was, as if she was following her heart and the next thing she knew she was standing next to the Granolith. Her eyes went over towards the right and there before her stood a pod. She went over to it and as her hand graced the surface she knew that it was her pod. Suddenly she saw images and it revealed a past she never knew existed. It told her that Tess, Michael and she was related and that even though Tess was Max's betrothed it was supposed to be her that Max was to marry. Tess was in love with someone else and when they were placed in the pods her parents and Max's parents decided to design Max and Tess to fell in love. Nasedo knew about it, but didn't do anything about it. He forgot about the Granolith and started to prepare Tess for Max. She stood there not knowing what to do and the next thing she decided to do was to go to Maria and Alex and tell them what she just found out. Somehow they must tell the others about it, but it must be done without them knowing that she went to the cave. It was then that she decided to tell Maria to tell Michael that she saw something glowing near the cave and that she forgot about it. She went outside the cave and saw that it was time for her shift in the CrashDown. She went to the restaurant and got dressed, Maria came to her and looked at her. "And, what did you find out?" Liz looked at her and said, "Maria what I'm about to say to you, you must tell Michael a lie. Just to get them all at the cave. Can I count on you?" "Sure?" They sat down and Liz told her everything that she saw. Maria's eyes widened and she hugged her friend and said. "But it's good news" "I know, but I can't hurt Tess. She doesn't know what to do with this knowledge" Maria looked at Liz and said, "Someday you have to face them" "I know, but please would you do this for me?" "Sure" Maria stood up and decided to go over to Michael and tell him about the 'light' she saw. He was still busy with the last order when she came up to him. He turned around and looked her in her face. "What's the matter?" "I nearly forgot to tell you, but last night I saw a strange light coming from the desert I think it was near the cave" "I knew that someday something would happen" he left the food and went over to Max and the other two. He looked at Max and told him what Maria just told him. "I think it is time for us to go back to the cave and try to figure out what is going on and what the Granolith is" they stood up and decided to let their human friends join them on this mission.
As they stood there looking at the Granolith it was evident that there was more to this artifact that they knew. Max looked closely at it and saw that there were four major instructions written on it, but the first three he didn't understand. It was the last one that intrigued him. It was the same symbol they saw on their pods and it 'said' that there was another pod and this one was inside the Granolith. Max told the others that they must look for it so that they could figure out who it must be that was in that pod. It was Tess who found it, but she couldn't place her hand on the panel. It was as if it was waiting for someone beside them. Suddenly Liz came up behind her and placed her hand on the panel; there came a soft humming sound out of the Granolith and the same images Liz saw a few hours earlier came into the cave. It was a chronicle and it stated that Liz was one of them. Michael, Isabel and Max were surprise to hear this news, but as they looked at Tess, Alex and Maria they could see that they knew something that they weren't telling them. Tess came up to Max and said, "Nasedo told me about my sister and brother, but he forgot about the Granolith and that my sister was meant for you, that is why I was prepared for you from the first day?" Max looked at Tes and asked, "Why did she disappear with the other humans when she was one of us?" Tess looked at him and said, "The skins didn't know about her and Nasedo told me that my sister's powers would come after a major catastrophe occur. That is why after the wipeout of this town took place her powers began to show themselves" Liz looked at Max and as their eyes met she could see that they were meant for each other.
