Now, just to clear stuff up. About one year after fleeing Roswell at graduation, Max, Michael and Isabel went back to Antar to fight Kivar, leaving Liz, Kyle and Maria behind for their 'own safety'. After they left, Liz discovered she was pregnant and ran away to Seattle. Now, eight years later, the aliens have returned to Roswell and they're looking for the people they left behind.
"Wow, it feels so good to be back in Roswell!" Isabel Evans' voice was loud and full of emotion. She, her brother Max and their surrogate brother Michael Guerin were walking along the Rowell high street again. And they were definitely glad to be home.
"Yeah." Max was grinning from ear-to-ear. "I can't believe it. After all these years, I'm finally going to see Liz again!" His sister smiled wickedly.
"Yeah, but will she be as pleased to see you as you will be to see her?" She asked him. He stopped walking and turned to face her. "What?"
"Well, we have been gone for eight years." Her voice trailed off. Max glared at her furiously.
"Don't think like that, Isabel!" He fumed. "She loves me, that's what counts!" He started to walk again, but at a faster pace. Isabel laughed.
"Oh come on, Max! Can't I tease you a little?" He slowed down to normal walking pace.
"Yeah, I'm sorry." He said. "It's just.after not being with her for eight years, I'm just a little," He struggled to find the word. "Tense."
"Don't worry, Max. I understand." She turned to Michael, who had been silent through it all. "We all are. Right Michael?"
"Yeah. Don't worry about it, Maxwell. We're all nervous, it's natural."
The Crashdown café:
Maria groaned and stretched. She was wiping the floor at the Crashdown, which was now closed for the day. Even though she was a successful songwriter now, and had written songs for loads of chart-topping bands, she still popped into the Crashdown to help out on some weekends. Mostly because she felt sorry for the Parkers. They just hadn't been the same since Liz had left for Seattle without giving an address of phone number. Hell, they didn't even know that she was pregnant, but Maria did. She and Kyle were the only ones Liz had told before she left. 'Wow,' Maria thought suddenly. 'Her kid, she'll be almost eight years old now. And I've never even seen the child.' She used the word 'she', but Maria didn't know what sex Liz's baby was really. She just always imagined that it would be a girl though. She smiled. 'I wonder if she looks like Max, or Liz?'
The bell on the door of the Crashdown tinkled.
"Go away." Maria said, not bothering to turn around. "We're closed."
"Well then, I guess we'll come back later!" She spun round. Standing right in front of her, grinning like a fool, was Michael Guerin. " "Michael!" She ran up to him and embraced him in a tight hug. Then she pulled away and smacked him on the chest. Hard.
"What the hell are you doing here? You've got some nerve, mister!" Michael grabbed his chest.
"Ow! Jesus Maria, what kind of welcome is that?" He grumbled. "Didn't you miss me at all?"
"Of course I did, Michael." She hugged him again. "But, why now? What are you guys doing back in Roswell?"
"War's over, Maria." Max said from the booth he and Isabel were sitting in. "I gave up my title as king of Antar and we came home." He stood up. "Where's Liz?" Maria's eyes widened.
"Liz, uh.well. Let me get Kyle over here first!" She walked over to the phone. "Boy, is he gonna be surprised!"
The aliens watched in silence as Maria picked the receiver and dialled a number.
"Uhh, hi, Mr Valenti! Is Kyle there?" Silence. "Can you get him on the phone, please?" Another pause. "Yeah, I can hold." She turned to the others. "He's in the shower." She tapped the counter impatiently and hummed a little to herself. "Kyle? Hi, it's me, Maria. How are you? Yeah, I know, but can you come down to the Crashdown quickly?" She listened. "Oh, it's definitely worth it. See you in five? Yeah, ok, bye!" She put down the phone and looked at Max. "He's just coming." Max looked at her strangely.
"Ok, sure. But where's Liz?" Maria fidgeted nervously and avoided his eye.
"Well, it's kinda a long story."
Five minutes later:
"WHAT?!" Kyle cringed.
"I told you, she left for Seattle with your unborn baby." He frowned again. He'd only just arrived at the Crashdown to find the Pod squad there and already he was being bombarded by Max's furious questions.
"Wha.how? Why?"
"I don't know, Max. I guess she couldn't take it, y'know? It's kinda difficult to look after your half alien-hybrid baby while your husband's ran off to some crappy planet you've never even seen before." Maria spat angrily.
"But, couldn't you have stopped her?" He asked. "Talked her out of it, or something?"
"It's not that easy, Max. After she told us she was pregnant, she said she wanted to get out of Roswell, somewhere like Seattle. Then the next day she was gone." Kyle sat down next to Isabel and she hugged him in a friendly fashion.
"Missed you, Kyle."
"Yeah, I missed you guys too."
"Well, that's it then." Max said, standing up so suddenly the others all stared at him. "I have to go to Seattle."
