"Kyle, where are you taking me?" an impatient and blindfolded Liz asked.
"It's a surprise" Kyle answered. " ok we're here." Liz took off her blind fold. It was the pool, it had been in Roswell since before she was born, and some of her greatest childhood memories were of summers in this pool.
"Oh! Kyle this is so great I haven't been here in ages. I remember some pretty great times here though.
"Yea I know, I remember when Alex tried to do a back flip off the high dive but instead it was a painful belly flop he was red for weeks!" they both laughed at the memory. "I just wanted to bring you some place normal... after the whole setup thing you seemed really lost and I want to help you become a normal teen again, like old times."
"Thank you Kyle but I'm not sure I know what normal is anymore." Liz responded sadly.
"Don't worry, we'll figure it out together, Maria, Alex and I will always be here for you." He told her sincerely. "I'm going to get a soda, you want?"
"Sure." As Kyle walked away tears started falling down Liz's cheeks. She was so lost and confused, without Max life wasn't worth anything so Liz gave up, she simply went through the motions everyday, with no feeling. She longed for simpler days, before Tess and an unwanted Destiny, back when she and Max were together and happy. She wiped her tears away as she heard footsteps, thinking it was Kyle. She turned around but instead of meeting the caring face of Kyle Valenti, she met the cold stare of a tough big looking man.

Max felt his stomach drop as he appeared in the dark Roswell street. He quickly ran towards the community pool. He had a rape to stop, and nothing was going to get in his way.

"what do you want?" Liz asked in a timid scared voice. One word sent shivers down her spine and made an unforgiving cold sweep over her.
"You."
Liz started to back away but the man grabbed her and put his hand over her mouth, silencing her cries for help. He picked her up and pulled her out of the pool, dragging her into the women's bathroom. He took a red scarf from his back pocket and gagged her. Liz struggled with all her might to get away but her desperate attempts were no match for the strong and vicious man on top of her.
The man grabbed her wrists and pinned them above her head and then single handedly he ripped open her shirt. He quickly tore off her bra and began touching her in ways that repulsed her. He unbuttoned her jeans and pulled them along with her panties off her weak but still fighting body.
As soon as Liz was sure there was no way to stop him, she felt the large man being dragged from her body. She looked up and saw a very pissed Max punching the vicious man in the face repeatedly. Liz scrambled across the ground towards them and pulled Max of the man. She wrapped her arms around him and held on with all she had.
"Oh God Max, thank goodness you came... he was trying to rae me, and I couldn't get him off I was so scared, and I don't know where Kyle is."
Very Calmly max said, "He's unconscious behind the soda machine. He'll wake up in a few minutes don't worry the guy just made him smell this stuff that knocked him out."
"How do you know all this Max."
"Because I already knew about this. Because I had to live this, except, I wasn't here to save you."
Liz gasped. "You're from the future, aren't you?"
"Yes. Just one day in the future. Look at me Liz, I know about Future Max, I know about what you did. I know. But he doesn't, your Max that is. You need to tell him. I know what he is feeling right now Liz. He's dying inside."
"Max, I need you to tell me everything." Liz listened intently while Max told her everything he had learned in the past 24 hours.
"So, you're going to leave me again. I'm going to tell him the truth. It's hurting me just as much as it's hurting him, you know?"
"I know, and because I know how you feel, that is why you should tell him the truth. I love you Liz, and sooner or later you're going to realize that we're meant to be. No matter what anyone says. You were meant for me, and I was meant for you."
And with that he disappeared and Liz was once again left standing alone.
"It's a surprise" Kyle answered. " ok we're here." Liz took off her blind fold. It was the pool, it had been in Roswell since before she was born, and some of her greatest childhood memories were of summers in this pool.
