Liz sat miserably at the Crashdown. She was waiting for Maria, who hadn't given Liz a chance to talk to her all day. Maria must think Liz was really mad at her because every time they were close, Maria would go in the other direction. Even at lunch, Maria had sat at a different table.
Now, Maria was late for her shift. Liz couldn't remember the last time Maria had been late for her shift.
Liz did remember when she had still been allowed to work as a waitress. Since her foster parents had run the Crashdown, as soon as Liz was at the right age she began to work. Maria, being her best friend since Liz could remember, immediately joined as another waitress. But when the news had come out about her, the consumers got scared. They stopped eating at the Crashdown and the Parkers were losing a lot of money. To help her family out, Liz quit her job but always hung out there to be with Maria.
"Hey girl," a shy voice came from the other side of the counter.
Liz looked up. Liz had been so involved in her thoughts she hadn't noticed anyone walking behind the counter. Maria was standing there looking very nervous.
"I'm really, really, really, really, sorry about what happened today. I totally shouldn't have said that to everyone just because I thought something was going on," Maria babbled.
"It's okay, Maria. No hard feelings," Liz said, smiling for the first time all day.
Maria's face lit up. Before Liz knew what was happening, Maria had pulled Liz into a huge bear hug.
They both turned when the door opened, causing the bell to ring. In walked Max, Michael, and Isabel.
Well, that wasn't really accurate. Max and Michael were walking but Isabel wasn't walking. She was being pushed in by the other two.
"I don't want to get a job!" Isabel was whining.
Max just shook his head. He left Isabel and walked up to Maria, completely avoiding Liz. "Isabel would like to know if there are any spots available at the Crashdown," he stated.
"No, I don't!" she screamed from the background. Liz could hear her complaining to Michael, "It isn't fair. I didn't have to have a job in Arizona."
Maria sighed, "I guess we could always use an extra hand."
"Great, are there any papers she needs to fill out?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'll get them," Maria said with a grin. It wasn't until she left that Liz realized it was just Max and Liz.
They were saved from having to speak or having an awkward silence because Alex walked through the door. "Hey, Alex!" Liz screamed a little too loud.
"Hi, Liz," he answered, sitting next to her.
Maria finally returned with the papers. "Hey, Maria? Could I have some Mint Ice-cream?" Liz asked.
Maria rolled her eyes, "I don't understand why you bother ordering a flavor. You drench the stuff in Tabasco sauce anyway."
