PART 5
Tess had decided it was pointless to try and
deliberately get Max back for what he did. Now that
Tess had Kyle, she didn't need to depend on Max.
Besides, Tess believed that if Max had something
coming to him, it would come. She had had experience
with that sort of thing. Tess was also satisfied that
she had once again succeeded in destructing Max's
relationship with Liz. All in all, Tess was very
pleased with herself. *Job well done. And now I'm
finally through with that jerk. If he won't accept our
destiny, why should I?* Tess thought. * And I'm
perfectly content with Kyle.*
AT SCHOOL THE DAY AFTER THE BIG FIGHT
Tess was impatiently waiting by her locker for Kyle.
*Why is he always late?* She thought, annoyed. *Who's
that? * Tess asked herself when she saw a girl walking
down the hallway. The girl looked to be the same age
as her. She was obviously looking for something.
Tess decided to see if she could help. She was in a
good mood that day, and besides, there was nothing
better to do while waiting for Kyle.
"Hi. My name's Tess. Are you new here?" She asked the
girl.
"Yeah, is it really that obvious?"
"Kinda. Do you need help with something?"
"Umm, well now that you ask, could you help me find
locker number..." The girl shuffled through her book
bag. Then she triumphantly pulled out a piece of
paper. "314?" She asked.
"Sure, that's right by mine." Tess pointed to her
locker.
"My name is Maggie. Did I tell you that?"
"No, you didn't. So where did you move here from?
Was there any particular reason you picked Roswell?"
"Ummmmmm, no not really. I was having problems with my
parents so I moved out. They gave me some money to
start out with, and here I am."
"Oh. I'm sorry."
"About what?"
"You and your parents."
"Don't be. They don't give a damn about me."
"Anyway, do you like it here in Roswell so far?"
"Yeah it's really nice."
"I'm glad you think so."
"Hey babe." Kyle said as he came up behind Tess. Tess
jumped.
"OMG Kyle! Don't do that! You scared me!"
"Sorry, I didn't mean to."
"It's fine, don't worry about it. Kyle, I want you to
meet my new friend Maggie. Maggie, this is my
boyfriend Kyle."
"Hi Kyle. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too."
(Kyle to Tess:)"Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah." (Tess to Maggie:)"Bye Maggie!"
"See ya Tess!"
*Well, I didn't know the Royal Four were so friendly.
This could be easier than I thought.*
(A/N: Maggie is a shape shifter. She is working for
Nicholas. Together they are trying to find the
granilith.)
"So now I'm your boyfriend huh?" Kyle asked Tess when
they were out of Maggie's hearing range.
"Well what was I supposed to say? Yeah this is a
friend of mine who I live with and we sleep together
occasionally?" Tess asked.
"No. I mean, I'm just getting used to the idea of being
your boyfriend, that's all. The last time I was a
boyfriend, it was with...well, you know."
"Yeah I know. But it's different now. Now you're MY
boyfriend, and I won't hurt you like she did." Tess
said cheerily. Then she reached up and kissed Kyle.
He loved that she was so possessive. He liked that
quality in a girl. And he couldn't believe he finally
had the girl of his dreams.
Max walked down the hall towards Liz's locker. He
needed to try and explain things to her. He was pretty
sure she'd tell him to leave her alone, but he had to
at least try.
"Hi Liz. Can we talk?"
"Max, I don't really think we have anything to
discuss."
"But Liz I-"
"Maybe I should make myself more clear. Go away, leave
me alone. I'm not speaking to you." Liz told him cooly.
Max had realized it was going to be difficult to get
Liz to hear him out, but he hadn't expected to hear
such anger in her voice.
*God Liz, why do you have to be so damn stubborn?*
He wondered. However, he respected her wishes, he
always had, and he left.
*Where's Maria? I have to find Maria! I can't keep
doing this to myself! I feel horrible about what I
said to Max, but I had to say it. I need to stay away
from Max for a while. I need to figure things out. I
need Maria! Where is that girl? * Liz felt like
screaming. She needed to let her feelings out. And the
best way to do that was to vent to your best friend.
Maria made her way into the school and started
scanning the crowds for Liz. She wasn't anywhere to be
found. Maria walked towards her locker with her head
down looking at her watch. When she reached her locker
she looked up and whom did she find staring back at
her but Michael Guerin.
"Michael!" Maria exclaimed. "I'm surprised to see you
so early in the morning."
"Yeah. Listen Maria, we need to talk."
"Michael Guerin, talk? About serious relationship
related problems?" Maria asked in mock amazement.
"Look, I know our relationship hasn't been, well it's-"
"Michael as of the last time we spoke, a.k.a. two
weeks ago or so, we have been relationship-less."
"I know. I wanted to say I'm sorry. For the way I've
treated you before and for everything. I love you
Maria. I really do. I know you envy Max and Liz. But
look at them. Half the time their relationship is
worse then ours!"
"And the other half they're head over heels, fresh as
a daisy, over the top, wonderfully, amazingly,
beautifully in love."
"The point is, Maria I don't want to be in a
relationship like Max and Liz's. I'm not intense like
that, and you know it. We need a normal relationship,
one where we fight and have make-up sex. I mean it may
not be perfect, but it's us. That's all we need."
Maria looked up at him, tears forming in her eyes.
"I love you Michael."
"I love you too." He said. He pulled her into his arms
and she let herself be held.
"Thank you." She whispered. She leaned up and kissed
him, hugged him one last time and left for class.
As Liz was looking for Maria, Alex walked up behind
her.
"Hey, you look stressed. Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, no, I really need to talk." Liz answered.
"I'm here for you." Alex said.
"Thanks Alex." Liz said. She hugged him. "It's so
hard, I mean, me and Max."
"What happened?"
"Well, we had a fight, sort of. I mean, well, okay. So
he forgot our anniversary. I was ready to forgive him
for that. So I go over to his house, and I have this
really romantic evening planned, and I see Tess and
Max on Max's bed, holding hands! God Alex, it made me
so mad! And I know Max loves me. I don't know why he'd
do that to me! I'm so confused."
"Wow. Liz, I feel your pain. But maybe it wasn't what
you thought. Maybe it was totally innocent and you
happened to walk in at the wrong time. Maybe Max
wanted Tess's advice on Czechoslavakian matters or
something. I know it will hurt you to hear me say
this, but maybe you need to talk to Max. And then
if you still think he's evil or whatever, at least
you'll know."
"Yeah. Maybe you're right, Alex. Maybe I should talk
to Max. But I can't. Not right now. I have to cool
off. Then I'll be able to deal with it rationally,
sensibly."
"That's my Liz, the beautiful, rational scientist."
Alex said in a fatherly tone. Liz giggled.
"Thanks Alex. I love you."
"I love you too." Liz hugged Alex again and he
dissapeared into the crowd of people.
Finally Liz saw Maria.
"Maria! Maria, over here!" Liz waved.
"Sorry Liz, I didn't see you."
"I've been looking for you everywhere. I need to talk.
It's about Max."
*Of course it's about Max. When is it not about Max?
Will we ever be able to talk about me? Did it ever
occur to you that I have problems too? Grrrrrrr.*
"Talk to me chica."
"Well, you remember last night? When I called you?"
"Mmmmmmmhhhhhhhhhmmmmmm."
"Well, I took your advice. I got together a wonderful
picnic. I snuck over to Max's house. All I had to do
was apologize for being so stupid about our
anniversary, and then I imagined it would be this
stupendous night. I got up to Max's window, and I
heard voices. So I peeked through the curtains. Maria,
Max was sitting on his bed with Tess. They were
holding hands and Tess was giggling. I didn't know
what to do. I felt so betrayed. So I ran. I ran out of
there as fast as I could. I probably made a lot more
noise than I intended to because Max saw me running.
He called me back, but I didn't stop. I'm not gonna be
able to stand anymore excuses Maria. I feel like maybe
Future Max is getting ready to come back. He wants to
warn me. It's like everything that has been going on
with me and Max lately has been some sort of sign.
'You're not meant for each other, destiny rules over
all. So hahaha, bite me bitch and stop getting in the
way.' I talked to Alex, and he's really a great
listener, and he made me feel so much better, but I
think I need your advice. What should I do Maria?
I can't take many more of these guessing games."
"WOW. That sure is a lot to take in. Your problems so
take preference over mine! I think we should go to the
library. It'll be easier to talk there."
"What about English?"
"Liz, honey, we're already late. We totally missed
homeroom. We are on the absentee list. Let's just go
to the library and stay there till we sort all this
out. Then we can write each other notes and go ton the
office. Don't worry about it."
"You're right. I have to talk to you about last night
Let's go."
"Speaking of last night, why didn't you call me? You
know I would have been over there in a second."
"I know. But I also know what a pain I've been to you
lately. Me and all my problems. Maria, you've been the
greatest friend to me. I feel like I owe it to you not
to trouble you so much. Besides, you have problems
too. We oughta talk about those once in a while. I
don't want you to feel like this is a one sided
relationship."
"You know I'd never think that Liz. I do have
problems, and we do need to talk about them too, but I
don't blame you for having problems of your own. Right
now your problems are way more complicated then mine."
Maria leaned over and hugged her friend. By this time
the two were seated comfortably on their secret couch
that nobody, not even the librarian knew about. They
talked for what seemed like hours. Liz went first. She
told Maria all her feelings about Max. She told her
all her secrets everything she had been holding back
from the others. Then Maria spilled. She told Liz about
her and Michael. How she was afraid Michael hadn't
wanted to make a commitment to her, how she really was
getting sick of Liz's problems. The girls finally felt
like they were on the same level again. They had
always been best friends. They had no secrets.
Everything one knew, the other knew too. Now the girls
felt like they had that back. It was a good feeling.
They both knew they could count on each other in a
time of need. That was always a good thing to know.
The girls finished chatting and wrote their notes.
Maria headed out the back way and went around to the
front. Liz took the shortcut and waited for Maria to
finish. Ten minutes later Liz walked into the office
and gave in her note.
*It worked!* Liz thought, relieved. But then again,
it always had.
MAX AND TESS'S GEOMETRY CLASS-THE NEW GIRL WALKS IN
"Maggie! Over here!" Tess called.
"Who's that?" Max asked.
"Oh, just the new girl. She's a friend of mine. We met
this morning."
"I wouldn't get too close Tess. You don't know who
this girl really is. We have rules about this sort of
stuff you know."
"Jeez Max. Don't get so uptight. You can't choose my
friends for me. Maggie isn't an alien, she doesn't
know I am. I just want to have a normal friend, ok?"
"Just be careful. Don't let her catch on. She could be
a FBI spy, or a secret agent, or a skin, possibly a
shape shifter. We can't trust everyone as if we were
human ya know."
"Shut up Max! You're not my boyfriend! Why don't you
go and protect Liz? She needs your help more than me!
I've got Kyle now."
"Liz is not a possession that needs protecting! And
since when are you and Kyle together?"
"Since last night. After you rejected your destiny
again, I decided to give up on you. There is no point
in us being together if one of us doesn't want it
right? And now neither of us wants it. So leave me
alone!" Today obviously wasn't his best day with
women.
"Tess, I'm warning you, I don't like the idea of you
becoming friends with that girl. The rest of us won't
either."
"Well that's just too bad isn't it Max?" (To Maggie:)
"Hi. This is Max, Max this is my new friend Maggie."
With that, Tess shot Max a look that seemed to say,
and there's nothing you can do about it, asshole.
"So Tess, you certainly seem to be very popular,
seeing as you were new just a few months ago."
"Yeah well, I have connections here. Hey, how did you
know I was new..."
"Oh, Mr. Banks told me. He said I could sit next to
you because you were pretty good in geometry."
"Well that was nice of him."
"So what's up with you and that guy?"
"Oh, you mean Max? Well, me and him sort of used to go
out. Our parents set us up, you know. Well he
couldn't accept his destiny, I mean that his parents
wanted him with me because he says he loves this other
girl. Sometimes I think he'd do anything for her. I
mean, he'd give his life for Liz Parker. I can't
understand it sometimes. God, I must be babbling. I'm
sorry. You wouldn't understand."
*Oh but I understand perfectly Queen Ava. This girl
has broken your destiny with the king. You say he'd do
anything for her...I wonder...*
"Sorry, I daydream a lot. What did you say?"
"Oh, nothing important."
"Miss Harding, Miss Boyle, please quiet down. Class,
we have a new student. This is Magdalene Boyle. Stand
up Miss Boyle." Maggie stood.
"Please, call me Maggie."
"As you wish--Maggie." Maggie sat. "If you please Miss
Harding, no more talking while I'm attempting to
teach."
"Yes Mr. Banks, sorry."
"Now that we are interruption free, let's begin..."
*I can't wait to tell Nicholas what I've found out.
This Liz could be the answer to all our problems!*
Maggie thought evilly. *And Queen Ava will lead me
right to her.*
Tess had decided it was pointless to try and
deliberately get Max back for what he did. Now that
Tess had Kyle, she didn't need to depend on Max.
Besides, Tess believed that if Max had something
coming to him, it would come. She had had experience
