Summary: Two worlds
collide with one another when the MP tour bus stops in Roswell, New Mexico.
"A buck each?" Maria called
after Jack. "I LOVEEEE YOU TOOOOOOOOO." Maria erupted into laughter. "Oh
man."
Jack rolled his eyes on his
way out, the sooner they got this dumb concert over, the better. "Rude."
Jack mumbled.
"Why'd you do that Maria?"
Isabel crossed her arms over her chest.
"Ahhh, you don't like guitar
boy, you like the mean one!" Maria groaned.
"Nooo." Max chuckled. "Please
no ..."
Isabel's cheeks burned.
"The name's Michael, and
I'll show you." Michael said without turning around. "I live across the
street from it."
Fi jumped up. "Hi, I'm Fiona,
people call me Fi." She said as she followed Michael.
"I've heard." Michael nodded
towards Carey, Clu, and Jack. "Interesting bunch you got."
Fi laughed. "Oh thanks, try
traveling with 24/7 365 days a year, it's very straining." Fi said with
a smile.
Clu rolled his eyes. "Fi
had to pick that guy to talk to?"
Carey shrugged.
"I can only imagine." Michael
smirked.
"HEEYYYYYYYYY"
Michael turned around, watching
Alex flail towards them. "Run." Michael said quietly. "NOW!"
Fi laughed. "You're not serious
are you?"
"If you don't run now ...
you'll never escape Whitman." Michael cried as he ran down the street.
Fi laughed and followed shortly
behind Michael.
Carey glanced at Fi and then
hopped in front of Alex. "Heya Alex right?"
"Yeah!" Alex grinned. "You
know ... I play a little guitar."
"Oh really?" Carey said,
ignoring the laughs from Jack and Clu. "I would love to hear it, maybe
you would like to come with the theater with us." Carey said, smiling at
Alex.
The group crowded in the
doorway and watched.
"He'll never leave." Michael
muttered. He stopped and turned Fi's body in the direction of the theater.
"There you go."
"Thanks." Fi said, smiling.
"You coming in, or you got somewhere to be?"
Carey shot Fi a look as him,
Alex, Jack and Clu walked in.
"He'll never leave him alone."
Maria muttered. "Smooth move rock star boy."
"Oh hush, Alex is excited."
Isabel proclaimed.
"You're just looking at the
mean one's ass." Maria answered.
"Maria!" Liz cried.
Max held his sides laughing
hysterically. "You guys are too much."
Carey grinned. "He's not
that bad, come on Alex, wanna meet Molly? Maybe we can get you some good
seats." Carey said, smiling.
Alex's eyes danced with happiness.
Jack looked back at Isabel
and smiled at her, he turned his attention back to Clu who was too busy
eating all the snacks he could get his hands on. "You're going to give
yourself a stomach ache."
"So?" Clu said, eating some
more.
"I actually," Michael looked
down at his friends crowding the doorway to watch. "Noo, I'm free."
Fi grinned. "Great." Fi said,
nearly bouncy, but not close. "I thought I would have to be alone with
my brother and the Bell brothers all day."
"Oh brother." Michael muttered.
"You watch MTV? Alex acting like those dorks on Fanatics ... "
Fi laughed. "Actually I do
watch that show, it's really funny to see people act like that, you know?"
Fi looked over at Alex. "I would say it's cute, but uh in Carey's situation
I wouldn't say it was." Fi laughed. "No offense to your friend."
"Whitman ... isn't my friend."
Michael ran a finger through his hair. "Tell me when he's acting stalkerish
..."
Fi laughed. "Okay, well when
he starts to steal things that belong to Carey to create a collage, I'll
make sure to tell you." Fi said with a grin.
"It all starts with taking
a lock of hair." Michael chuckled.
Jack walked over to Isabel.
"Hi," he smiled.
"Hi." Isabel smiled confidently.
"Isn't this back tracking?"
"He knows where the theater
is." Maria muttered.
Liz groaned. "Hush."
"Make me!" Maria said.
Max smiled at Jack, standing
between Liz and Maria. "Don't mind them. That's my sister, Isabel."
"Hi Isabel." Jack smiled.
"Well if all of you guys want to come in, you're more then welcome to.
All we're doing is setting up at the moment."
Clu looked at Fi and Michael.
"Who would be the guy talking to Fi?" Clu asked.
"My ex boyfriend." Maria
answered, throwing her apron on a booth.
Max looked at his sister,
who stood quiet. "He asked you something Iz."
Isabel turned around and
glared. "Yeah ... we'll come."
Clu nodded. "Is he dating
someone?"
"What you interested?" Carey
said, laughing.
"No!" Clu said glaring. "It
just looks like he's flirting with Fi that's all, so I was just wondering."
Jack smiled. "Great, don't
mind the two bumbling fools over there." Jack said pointing to Clu and
Carey.
"Hey!" They both said.
Fi's laugh followed
Michael's chuckle. "Believe me Carey would realize if a lock of his hair
is missing, he takes more time to get ready then me, he would be like my
hair!"
Michael chuckled, shaking
his head with the laughter.
"He's my ex boyfriend" Maria
glared. "How should I know?"
"The break up was nasty."
Liz replied. "They'd been together awhile."
"Enough!" Maria snapped.
"Michael's single, making a move on ice queen over there. Hurry. "Maria's
voice dripped with sarcasm, "Go save her!"
Fi smiled, she pushed a strand
of her hair behind her ear. "So what is there to do in Roswell? I really
don't feel like hanging around a theater all day."
Jack rolled his eyes. "Bitter."
"Shut up." Carey snapped.
"Not much." Michael yawned.
Alex looked between Carey
and Jack, then at Maria and Isabel. "What just happened?"
Maria ran back to the Crashdown,
struggling with the keys to undo the lock.
"I really doubt you feel
like meeting the famous Molly Phillips, everyone else I meet is like ooh
Molly Phillips, sort of like Alex." Fi said, sighing.
"Seriously." Michael
jammed his hands in his pockets. "I don't know who Molly Phillips is."
Fi smiled. "Really?" Fi asked.
"See I like you even more then I did just a few seconds ago."
"I guess I'm honored." Michael
chuckled
Jack shrugged. "I don't know."
Carey groaned and ran after
Maria. "Hey wait!"
Alex sighed. "What'd you
say? I just spaced out there."
Isabel smothered a giggle
"What?"
She shook her head. "Nothing
Alex."
Liz looked at Max.
"She likes him."
"The mean one's name is Jack."
Maria answered, shoving the door back open.
"We're open?" Liz asked.
Maria nodded. "Why's rock
star boy chasing me down?"
"His name is ..." Max stopped
as Carey pushed his way in.
"Look I want to apologize
for Clu and Jack ... " Carey started.
Liz looked puzzled.
"The tall surfer one's Clu."
Max answered.
Liz nodded. "Thanks."
"It's alright. Tell Clu good
luck with Michael." Maria slammed the counter after her. "He's very temperamental."
Carey sighed. "Well anyways,
sorry again, see ya." Carey replied, storming out of the crashdown as fast
as he called.
"Ri ... " Liz walked over
to the counter.
"What??"
Max sighed. "Liz, let her
be. Wanna talk about it Liz?"
"Didn't you just tell me
to leave her alone?" Liz asked.
Max nodded. "Forget it."
"FIONA!" Molly called from
the front of the theater. "JACK!!"
Jack looked up. "Ugh mom
calls, be right back." Jack ran up to his mom. "Hey mom, Fi's too busy
flirting."
Fi looked up when she heard
her mom yell her name. "Oh great, my mom is calling me. Will you wait or
do you want to, you know, do something later? I'm going to be in town for
a while."
"Parents tend not to like
me." Michael blushed. He shook it away. "I'll be around ... with one of
them."
"MRS PHILLIPS!!" Alex ran
across the street.
"Warn your mother." Michael
bit his lip.
Isabel sighed, walking back
towards the Crashdown.
"Come on Iz." Michael waved
to her.
"You think I want to hang
out in your little roach motel?" Isabel said, smirking.
Michael rolled his eyes.
*Stop showing off*
Isabel smiled. "I wouldn't
dare do it ... "
*****
Fi ran off. "What mom?"
Jack grinned. "Took you long
enough, have fun flirting with Michael?"
"Shut up." Fi hugged Molly.
"That's Alex, he's a verrry big fan of yours."
Carey walked in. "Sorry I'm
late."
"Nice to meet you." Alex
shook her hand. "I'm your biggest fan."
Molly raised an eyebrow.
"Did you guys get lunch?"
Fi laughed. "Yeah we did,
at this cafe called the crashdown."
"Where she met Michael."
Jack said, laughing.
"Shut up." Fi said, blushing.
"The long haired one? Irene'd
have a field day with him." Molly chuckled. "You alright Carey?"
Carey nodded. "Fine ... "
"Yeah the long haired one."
Fi said, smiling.
"He's so dreamy." Jack said,
laughing.
"Shut up, at least I wasn't
drooling over miss blondie."
"SHUT UP!" Jack said, blushing.
"Got you!" Fi said, laughing.
Carey rolled his eyes. "See
what I'm stuck with Mrs. P?"
"Miss blondie?" Molly asked.
"Isabel." Alex answered.
"That one over there."
"Oohhh." Molly laughed/ "Well
Jack ..."
"Is your phone turned on!!"
Irene ran out of the theater. "Where have you been?" Irene grabbed Clu's
arm.
Fi laughed. "Alex can play
guitar mom."
Jack nudged Fi. "Shut up,
at least my potential crush knows what proper hygiene means."
"Shut up Jack, he was just
fine looking. I like him, unlike everybody else, he tends to be more creative
then blue collar, why don't you just leave him alone?" Fi snapped.
Carey smirked. "Wow Fi, I
haven't seen you react to a guy like this since cloning boy."
"Shut up." Fi hissed out.
Clu gave Irene a look. "Eating."
