Episode I: Life saving day.
"Liz your orders up" Alex Guerin called to his friend Elizabeth Parker. Alex watched as his childhood friend took the plates to the customers.
"Tell me again why do I work here?" Liz complained as she got back.
"Simple, your best friend recommended you for the job to his father." Maria Valenti spoke before Alex could say a word. Liz glanced over at Alex but he just nodded.
"What she said… why?" Alex asked.
"Those two guys just took their meals and basically went back to their argument." Liz explained. Suddenly the door open and Liz inwardly groaned. She wasn't up for another customer.
"Hey Maria would you??" Liz asked.
"Say no more chia" Maria moved her way over to the group.
"Good afternoon and welcome to the Crashdown." Maria said the all to familiar line. No sooner than those words had left her lips she heard a scream. She looked around trying to figure out why someone was screaming. She then noticed why. Someone had pulled a gun…
Liz noticed that the person who had pulled the gun was one of the guys that she had served moments ago. Suddenly a shot rang through the air. She then heard some screams, then a thud. Someone had been shot! Liz looked around and breaking her code of ethics ran to the person. She gasped as she saw who it was. Michael Guerin (Alex's brother) was the one. She instantly put her hand on his chest and pretended to do CPR on him but really what she was doing was saving his life by healing him. For once she wasn't thinking about herself or exposer. She then broke a bottle of ketchup and spilt it over him.
"You fell and broke a bottle of ketchup and spilled it over yourself okay?" She whispered as she helped him up. Then she ran.
Michael didn't know what to think. He was working over at the grill and turned around when he heard someone scream. Next thing he knew it was darkness and then he saw Liz's face. Liz Parker a girl he knew only through his brother had just saved his life. He nodded and she ran.
"Michael!" Tess's panicked voice called out.
"What happened?" Alex asked him. (A/N: so he covered his tracks…) That's what I'd like to know… He silently replied.
"Nothing the shot startled me and I fell dropping a bottle of ketchup on me." Michael explained. He looked at his sister and brother at turn. Tess's face had disbelief on it but Alex's face looked worried… almost scared. He wondered if Alex actually knew what had happened to Michael and knew what Liz was…
Oh god what have I done?? Liz asked herself, as she paced across Maria's bedroom. They had always said that the Valienti's house would be where they would meet in an emergency or if someone had found out about them. Maria and Alex had stayed at the Crashdown to make sure that he hadn't spilled the beans. Sheriff Valenti as predicted had gone over to the Crashdown as soon as he had found out about the shooting. Kyle wasn't at home but she knew he would be home soon.
"Hey I'm home." Liz gulped. Scratch that he was home now.
"Kyle" She called out.
"Liz??" Kyle queried. What was she doing here? He asked himself. Maybe she was hiding out from Hank. His reasonable part to himself replied.
"Yeah" He called back.
"Can you come up here" He immediately knew that something was wrong. He didn't know what but he knew something was.
Liz waited for Kyle to come up to Maria's room. While she was doing that she played with a strand of hair. Making it go from brown to blonde, and then back again.
"I don't think the blonde look would go for you" Kyle joked.
"Hey I thought Alex was the joker in the group. Not you" She responded with ease.
"So what's wrong?" Kyle asked.
"I…" As soon as she had started to speak she heard the front door slam and 2 sets of footsteps going up the stairs.
"What on earth did you think you where doing?" Maria yelled.
"Look I did the first thing that I could think of. I saved the guy." Liz responded.
"But you just broke our rule which I may point out was what you made up to save Michael Guerin of all people."
"HEY" Alex responded automatically sticking up for his brother.
"Sorry Alex" Maria apologized.
"Whoa… back the track up a bit. LIZ SAVED MICHAEL??????" Kyle shouted.
"Yeah so?" Liz said calmly, "I thought it was something King Kyle would do."*
"Yeah but you??? No offence but I wouldn't think of you doing the whole save someone's life thing." Kyle pointed out
"Hey I do have a heart you know. Well what ever resembles a heart." Liz corrected herself.
"Yeah but still…" Kyle shock his head.
"She healed him from a gun shot wound." Alex told Kyle. 3…2…1… Liz counted slowly to herself.
"YOU WHAT???" Liz could tell it was going to be a LONG day.
Michael was now up in his room. He wanted to know what had happened to him, he remembered feeling a sharp pain in his stomach, falling and then looking up to see Liz's face. Maybe he could ask her in biology** tomorrow. It was funny, almost as soon as his father had closed the Crashdown (in a result of the shooting anyway no one was there) Maria Valenti and Alex had gone out together. (One might think they where a couple but he didn't think so.)
"Hey big bro, you okay?" He looked up to see his younger sister (only by 4 minutes) Tess standing at the door.
"Yeah I'm fine. Just thinking."
"Wow, Michael Guerin thinking??? Stop the press" Tess teased her brother.
"Hey I thought Alex was the joker in our family" Michael responded with ease. (A/N: Getting a sense of deiji veau here… lol oh yeah sorry about that spelling...)
"Anyway I mean what happened today???" Tess asked concerned.
"Nothing, I just dropped the ketchup over me when the gun went off." Michael repeated his story for about the 10th time that day. Man this is a long day. He thought to himself.
"Sure you did. Look I know that's the story you're telling the sheriff and everything but I don't buy it." Tess stated firmly.
"I am telling the truth Tess…" Michael said wearily.
"Well let's see your apron…" Tess responded.
"Can't its in the wash…"
"What about your tee-shirt that you where wearing?"
"You know for my sister your not very bright are you? If my Apron is in the wash my tee-shirt is gonna have to be to." Michael stated getting impatient with his sister.
"Alright Michael. You may have won this round but I will find out what happened to you." Tess responded slamming the door behind her.
Liz was now getting very bored with listening to all the yelling.
"Look I'm sorry okay? In case you don't realise I SAVED A LIFE and not just anyone's life ALEX'S brother's life. Why don't you guys just think about that???" Liz shouted back at her friends. She then left the same way that she came in: through Maria's window.
"What just happened?" Kyle managed to get out.
"I don't know…"
"She just made a very reasonable point. She saved a life with out thinking about the consequences and it wasn't just anyone's life it was my brothers." Alex said in a state of shock.
"Okay who was that and what have they done with the real Liz Parker?" Maria asked.
"Like Liz stated before: I thought Alex was the joker in the group." Kyle responded.
"Why does everyone say that? I mean its bad enough that my family say that but now my best friends… geeze…" Alex muttered.
"Chill out Alex where only joking." Kyle told his friend.
Liz sighed. She didn't know where to go. It was either go back to Kyle and Maria's or go home and she didn't really want to do either at the moment. So she just decided to walk around.
"Oh look its Stonewall Parker" A taunting voice called out.
"Just stuff it Pam" Liz replied and continued on walking with out a glance back. She suddenly found herself back at the Crashdown. So she went behind the building and knocked on the Guerin's front door.
Knock, Knock"MICHAEL CAN YOU GET THAT???" Michael's mother yelled out.
"WHY CANT TESS GET IT???" He called back.
"BECAUSE SHE'S GONE OVER TO ISABELLE'S" She responded.
"ALRIGHT" Michael got off his bed and went down to get the door, he gasped as he saw who it was.
"Hey Alex isn't here right now…" He automatically started.
"That's okay I actually wanted to see you." She replied.
To Be Continued.
NotesNote 1: Okay they don't know where they are actually from. That's just Liz's nickname for him when she's slightly pissed off. (Like Michael calls Max Maxwell and King Max) She also calls Maria Perfect Maria when they're fighting.
Note 2: Biology: Liz and Michael are Bio partners.
Note 3: I don't own Roswell
