AN: Ok, I know I've already posted this story, but I went back and re-read it and I found alot of room for improvement and growth so I decided to re-post the new improved version.
Disclaimer: I am currently in a heated debate with Jason Katims on how much it should cost for me to have legal ownership of Roswell......I say $12.00. He says $7000.00.
For now I don't own Roswell.
"I HATE HIM!!!!" Maria Deluca screamedas she entered the Crashdown Cafe, only to find her best friend Liz Parker wipping down the counter.
"What did Micheal do now" Liz asked in a dull voice, and
made herself comfortable on the counter top.
Maria took a deep breath a prepared to tell Liz of Michaels latest mess up
"Ok, well Micheal and I were walking over here and I was telling him that I thought the you and Max were completely mesrible without each other and- "
"Do you really think Max is mesrible too?" interruped Liz, who yet agian had that far away look in her eyes which occured every Max's name was mentioned in Liz's presence.
"Lizzie, sweetie, my problem first" Maria stated slightly annoyed
"OH! right...sorry, please continue" Liz was slightly embarresed for getting caught day dreaming agian.
"Thank you"Maria takes a slight pause to remember her place and continues
"Anyway, I said that I wished *someone* loved me as much as you and Max love each other" Maria gave an exasperated sigh and a roll of her eyes.
"Very subtle Maria" Liz smirked "so what did he say?"
"nothing"
"nothing??...he just stared at you?" Liz asked confusedly, Michael was dence but not THAT dence.
"No, the reason Michael didn't reply was because, my wounderful boyfriend, who is suppose to freakin *love* me was too busy stareing at the long legged bimbo with the skirt that was about an inch away from being a belt!" Maria's voice was now at glass breaking levels and her left eye was twitching.....she was pretty darn upset.
Liz blinked a few times before finally speaking "Thats really bad"
"I am NEVER going to speak to him agian, not even if he gets on his hands and knees and licks my feet and I going to forgive him!!!" she cossed her arms sturbbornly as if to prove a point.
Liz rolls her eyes and laughs slightly "quit lying to yourself Maria, you and I both know that in about 2 weeks you and Micheal will be in the eraser room doing God knows what and you will not once think about hateing him"
"Your right..... but I still need to make him sweat it out a little...I actually wanna see him licking my feet" Maria's face light up with the thought of Big Bad Micheal on his hands and knees begging for her forgiveness.
Liz puts her arm around Marias shoulder "You my dear friend are a true master mind"
"It takes years of practice" Maria replied smugly " but we need a new subject, talking about my poor abused love life isn't very interesting"
"Isabel is gonna be here in a sec, she wants to help out today since were short handed" Liz tiredly rested head on her right hand.
"Why?" Maria looked around the empty cafe "No ones here, except us"
"My guess, she's probably bored, or out of money"
"Oh" Maria looks around a little then suddenly speaks up " How are things going with you and Maxie poo?"
"Maxie poo?"
"What?!?...I think its cute"
Liz laughs and shakes her head a little "Well Maxie poo still thinks I slept with Kyle, which is so wrong and he is spending way too much time with Tess.
"I really hate her Liz, I swear if you would let me...just one punch and she'd be out" She punches her fist into her palm.
"As much as I would like to let you take her out, I can't. Max and her have to be together for the sake of the world"
Meanwhile across the street at the muesum Max Evans and Micheal Gurian were waiting for
Alex Whitman to show up.
"You should have seen this girl, extra long legs, extra short skirt, two very nice combonations" Michael said with a wide grin on his face.
"Were you with Maria at the time?" Max asked as he looked up from the picture he was forced to paint of a purple and green cat with a ray gun in its mouth.
"Yeah, she was saying something about how she wished you and Liz loved her as much as someone else or something like that, I wasn't listening, why?" Micheal asked confused
"Because I'm pretty sure i just saw her stomp into the Crashdown and she looked pissed" said Max while gazeing out the window towards the cafe.
Micheal says a few choice words under his breath "she's probably gonna try and ingnore me agian or make me beg for forgiveness"
"Has she done that before?" asked Max
"Yeah...she doesn't fight fair" Suddenly Micheal decides that he didn't like the subject being on his relationship with Maria and he decides to change the subject "Whats up with you and Tess, the two of you are spending alot of time together"
"More like her stalking me" Max snorts
Please tell me your kidding" Micheal ask with wide eyes "
"Nope, yeasterday I was changing in my room and I swear to God that I saw some one in the tree outside, just looking into my window" Max gave an involantary shutter.
"It might not have been Tess, it could have been the FBI!!" Micheal said hopefully, he still had the need to protect Tess, not because he liked her but because she was "one of them".
"FBI agents don't have blond curly hair and wear a shirt that says in big bold letters "I'M YOUR DESTINY MAX!!" Max rubbed his face with his hands exasperatedly and continued "she's just...she isn't.....I dunno"
"She's not Liz" Micheal said knowinly.
"Right!!! I wanted to be with Liz but she kept pushing me away and then slept with Kyle, I don't think I can trust her again" Max had a hurt look on his face.
"You think Liz would sleep with Kyle!!!" came a shocked new voice to the conversation as Alex came into the room.
Max looked over to Alex confused, he was sure that either Maria or Liz would have told Alex what happend, he was the two girls closes friend afterall
"I don't *think* they slept together, I went to Liz's room and saw her and Kyle in bed together...naked!!" yelled Max
Alex stared at Max after his outburst and calmly spoke
"Breath Max, and think about this logically, I've know Liz for almost 8 years and you've know her for 9, she is not the kind of person to just go off and have sex with someone who she doesn't love, and she doesn't love Kyle"
Alex felt he had to defend Liz's honor, since he did consider himself to be Maria and Liz's brother figure.
"I know what I saw Alex, and I didn't think Liz would do that either, but I guess we were both wrong" Max replied bitterly.
He wanted to believe Alex, he *really* did but their was no way around the fact that Liz slept with someone else, she let someone else touch her, hold her, and....he stopped himself there, if his thoughts went any further he would either break down crying or break Kyle's neck.
Micheal decided to keep quiet through this conversation, he just listend intently.
Alex took a beep breath and prepared to give his theory on what happend, he would never believe that his Lizzy would just go off and sleep with someone
"Max you said she had been pushing you away before right?" Alex looked at Max who slowly nodded his head "Liz never wanted to be in between you and your destiny, she could have thought pretending to sleep with Kyle would be the only way for you to forget her and follow "destiny's plan" Alex could tell by looking at Max that he had hit a nerve with him.
Finally Micheal spoke up "Then how do you explain Liz knowing that Max was going to come to her window that night?"
" I don't know" Alex said "but my theory makes a hell alot more sense than Liz actually sleeping with Kyle"
Max held his head in his hands "I have a headache" he moaned "but I think I believe you Alex"
"Just think about it for now Max and we'll figure out something later, but right now I'm starving to death and I wanna eat" stated Alex while holding his stomach.
"Crashdown?"asked Michael
"But Liz works there!!!" yelled Max haveing another outburst, he was didn't want to see her right now...he was afriad that when he did he wouldn't be able to stop himself from carrying her off into the back room and.....nevermind.
"We live in Roswell Max, our dinning opitions arn't that great, so get over it and lets go" Micheal said in an annoyed voice.
Max sighed "fine but I am not responsible for my actions anymore"
Back at the Crashdownno, customers had arrived yet, Liz, Maria, and Isabel who had arrived just a few minutes ago, were trying to keep themselves occupied.
"I hate my life" mumbled Liz as she rested her head on the counter in front of her.
"Yeah, well, I hate your life too" sighed Maria, as she sat next to Liz and rested her head on the counter as well.
"Thanks buddy" mumbled Liz
"The two of you are pathetic.... I'm mean, look at me, I'm an alien princess who is suppose to be married to one of my best friends, I'm being hunted by the FBI, my parents probably think I'm on drugs since I act so weird, and all the while I have a 6 page report due on "Where I picture myself in 20 years" for English when in fact 20 years from now I could be living on a planet in a galaxy far far away"
"God, Izzy, breath!!" Liz laughed "you win, enjoy having the worst life among us"
Isabel went back to reading her magazine and mumbled "I intend to"
By this time Max, Micheal and Alex had enter the small cafe. Alex had his usual smile on his face, while Max and Micheal were looking rather uncomfortable.
"Oh God, I don't want to deal with this right now" groaned Liz "Maria...my sister...could you take their order?...please please, with cedar oil on top?" Liz had a death grip on Maria's hand.
"First off, cedar oil is not to be used as a topping and second, I want to advoid Mr. Sensative just as much as you want to advoid Max." Said Maria while prying Liz off her hand.
"I swear the two of you are insane, I'll take their order if it will get you to stop whining!" Isabel grabbed some menus from behind the counter.
"Oh!! Izzy I am now in you debt, forever I swear!" Liz said as she gave Isabel a hug.
"Yes, you are....and don't hug me" Isabel headed toward the guys table while Maria and Liz rushed into the back room to prepare the food since Micheal had the day off.
"Ok, what do you three want to eat"asked rather rudely Isabel
"Why are you working today? where are Liz and Maria?" Max asked
"I think their in the back avoiding you and Micheal" stated Isabel annoyed
Alex suddenly stood up and in had loud booming voice yelled out "LIZ, MARIA GET YOU BUTTS OUT HERE RIGHT NOW AND STOP AVOIDING MAX AND MICHEAL" Much to his friends humiliation.
The two girls emerged from the backroom with pink hues gracing both their faces, and went to their friends table as an uncomfortable silents spread through the group. Suddenly Maria decided to try and break the slients,
"You know, what?" she asked directed towards Micheal
"What?"
"I seriously hate you"
"Thats not an unusual event"
"You could at least say that your sorry"
"I didn't do anything, so why should I be sorry?"
"Why is it so hard for you to be a careing boyfriend?!?!"
Before he could answer, the loud ringing of the phone interupped.
"I'll get it" said Liz, who during Maria and Micheal's performance had been trying not to notice Max's all knowing gaze.
"No, Liz, if I don't leave right now I'll end up commiting a felon on someone's aliend butt" Maria was using her famous death glare on Micheal.
"But-"
But it was too late, Maria was already halfway across the room and picking up the phone.
"Hello?" they overheard Maria ask "Oh my God!.........how are you.........I'm fine.........we really miss you........you are? really?......ok I'll get her, Liz phone!!" Maria was grinning from ear to ear which caused Liz to be a little more than curious as she approched the phone.
"Hello?" she asked "Jake?!?! whats going on?........wow really?.........I miss you too......ok......ok......bye"
"Did you say Jake?" ask Alex
"Yup!!!!, God it's been like what 3 years since we last saw him?" asked Maria
"If you don't mind me asking.....who the hell is Jake?" Isabel inquired
"Liz, Alex and I met Jake at summe camp when we were 14, he was the first person we actually let into are little group,and we all got really close to him" Maria said while doing a little dance around the space ship shaped tables.
"Yeah but if I remember right, he was alot closer to Liz" Alex stared elbowing her in the ribs "Remember that Liz? you were a baaaaaaad girl" Alex said with a grin.
Max suddely got rather angry at this Jake guy, how many guys had Liz dated that he didn't know about? Sure it was just summer camp and she was only 14 but it still pissed him off to think of Liz with anyone but him.
"Shut up Alex" laughed Liz "it wasn't that big of a deal, just kissing"
"Kissing all over camp you slut" Maria joked
"You were a wild one Liz" Micheal said and rolled his eyes.
"Until my parents were called, then i went straight"Liz replied
"So what did he want?" asked Alex
"Oh I almost forgot to tell you.......he coming to visit us!!!!" Liz yelled with excitment.
Max almost choked on is own air.
AN: WHAT WILL HAPPEN?!?!?
Who is this Jake guy?
Will Max ever REALLY know the truth about Liz and Kyle?
Will Maria kill Micheal?
Am I ever gonna shut up?
