Episode II:  Not from around here

"To see me??" Michael asked kind of shocked. Liz sighed.

"Yeah you… do you see anyone else here I might possibly want to see who is here???" Liz snapped finally losing her cool.

"Sorry…" Michael replied sarcastically, like he wasn't sorry at all.

"Geeze all I wanted to do was try and have a reasonable conversation for once in my life but does that happen???? Noooooo instead today all people want to do is snap at me or yell at me… story of my life" She muttered to herself.

"Sorry" Michael said again this time truly feeling sorry for the girl.

"Is that part of your vocabulary now?" Liz asked.

"No…" Michael replied.

"Anyway can I come in?" Liz asked. Michael finally realised that they where still standing at the door.

"Michael sweetie, who's at the door?" Michael turned beet red at that and Liz had to control herself from not laughing out loud.

"Oh Hi Liz… I'm afraid Alex isn't here right now" Mrs Guerin said coming to the door.

"Actually I came to see Michael, we have an assignment to do in biology" Liz quickly lied.

"We do???" Michael asked clueless, Liz automatically kicked him, "Oh yeah we do…" He quickly tried to cover up.

"Alright, I guess you can work up in his room." Mrs Guerin replied.

Liz nodded and followed Michael up the stairs no sooner than he closed the door Liz started to speak.

"God could you be even MORE clueless??" Liz said angrily.

"Sorry… anyway what happened in the Crashdown today?" Michael asked automatically getting to the point. Liz paled.

"Uh… I guess you wont believe that I just have the magic touch???"  Liz responded. Michael shock his head. "Well you see I'm not from around here…"

"Oh your home… Liz is upstairs" Alex's mother told him as soon as he walked in the door, after Liz had yelled at Maria, Kyle and himself he had decided to leave.

"Liz… Upstairs??" Alex looked slightly shocked. He didn't think she would be around any of them, let alone be in his house.

"Yeah… apparently Michael and Liz have a project of some sort for Biology." His mother replied. Michael and Liz doing homework??? Now that's a surprise… He thought wearily to himself. Wait a moment, Liz just healed Michael… she can't be telling him… can he?? He realised.

"Okay I'm gonna go upstairs okay??" Alex responded. His mother nodded, he hardly ever called his parents Mum or Dad, it just didn't feel right.

"Sure, oh and you can tell Liz she's welcome to stay for tea…" Alex nodded and went upstairs.

"Not from around here??? Are you like an illegal immigrant or something?" Michael asked. Liz once again had to control herself from not laughing.

"You could say something like that…" Liz trailed off now wondering what she could say.

"Hey Michael, Liz you up here?" Alex called. Liz groaned slightly.

"How did he know I was here?" Liz asked.

"Mum probably told him, seeing as you are his friend after all." Michael explained. Liz nodded.

"Yeah where in here" Michael told his brother. The door opened.

"Hey, Liz Mum said you can stay for dinner if you like" Liz nodded, but Michael looked slightly shocked that Alex had actually called his mother mum.

"Tell her I said thanks and I'll think about it" Alex nodded.

"So Alex what can we do for you?" Michael asked getting impatient.

"Uh I was just wondering if you needed any help studying or explaining anything…" Alex started. Michael watched as Liz gratefully nodded. Is my own brother in this too??? Michael asked himself.

"So where are you up to??" Alex asked.

"Just saying that I wasn't around here…" Liz responded. Oh god he is in this… He thought to himself.

"Ahh… well I just wanna add that I'm not from around here either."  Alex added. That made Michael confused.

"What exactly are you guys???"

"Well you see Michael…" Alex started but couldn't get out.

"Where Aliens." Liz stated simply.

Tess sighed she was sitting on Isabelle Evans bed looking at makeup.

"What's wrong???" Isabelle asked immediately.

"I just can't help but think Michael's hiding something from me," Tess explained to her long-time friend.

"Hey I hide things from Max all the time, and I know you hide things from Michael and Alex so why can't Michael hide something from you?" That statement made Tess sighed again.

"Okay I know your right" Isabelle grinned.

"Aren't I always?" Tess through a pillow at her, which started off a major pillow fight.

"Hey I have a brilliant idea!" Isabelle said in a moment of rest.

"What is it??" Tess asked thinking she already knew what it was.

"Why don't you stay over tonight?" Isabelle suggested, "All we have to do is ask our parents, which I'm sure they'll say yes too"

"Sure! Lets ask your parents first and then ask mine." Tess agreed.

Maria was bored. She was now walking up and down the streets of Roswell and wondering if she should go over and see if Liz was at Hank's and apologize to her.

"Maria?" A male's voice called out. Maria whirled around, it was Max Evans.

"Max???" She replied back, "Hi" for some reason she felt nervous around him.

"So what have you been up to?" Max asked.

"Nothing much" just getting pissed off at my best friend for saving your best friends life she added silently, "You?"

"Same really. Hey can you tell your brother thanks for taking over my shift last night." He asked, Maria found herself nodding.

"Well I better get going" Maria started to say.

"Hey I'll see you at the game tomorrow right?" He asked.

"Yeah…"

"Cool… see you then…"

"Bye…" Maria found herself saying.

"Hey Mum, can Tess stay over tonight?" Isabelle asked.

"Sure sweetie, just let her ring her mother and make sure its okay with her." Mrs Evans replied. The two girls went off to get the phone.

"It makes me want to have Mind warping powers just to make our parents say yes all the time" Tess joked to Isabelle. She then rang her home number.

"Hello??"

 "Hi Mum…"

"Oh Hi sweetie, yes you can stay over at Isabelle's" Tess's mother automatically said.

"How did you know I was going to ask that?"

"Its normally when you are at Isabelle's when you ring me its normally can you stay at Isabelle's or here, so I took a shot" Tess grinned and nodded to her friend.

"Okay sweetie see you tomorrow…" Michael heard his mother say. He was still in relative shock because he just found out that his brother and his brothers best friend where… well… aliens…

"Earth to Michael, come in Michael" Alex waved his hand in front of Michael's face.

"This is not a joking matter Alex" Liz told him.

"Hey I wasn't joking…"

"Alex being serious the world's coming to an end" Mrs Guerin said while coming past.

"Boys, that was Tess, she's going to be staying at Isabelle's tonight." Mrs Guerin said to her two sons.

"Alright mum…" Alex replied. Liz breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't that she didn't like Tess, she was one of Maria's friends after all but they had practically nothing in common and hardly ever got along.

"Anyway, Michael are you okay with this?" Alex asked once his mother had left.

"Uh… yeah… so your Aliens??"

"We prefer not of this earth" Alex joked.

"Ah… that's the Alex we all know and love," Liz teased.

"So… how can you be not of this earth??"

"Well do you remember the 1947 'weather balloon' incident?" Alex asked Michael nodded and the two friends watched as his eyes grew.

"Wait that would make you in your forty's or something" Michael pointed out.

"Well we where in these pods, which we came out in 1992 (A/N: I'm just making up a date okay??) Looking like we where 7, and well we where found wondering the desert."

"But we found Alex…and there was no sign of anyone else around. " Michael could remember that day clearly.

~*^*~Flashback~*^*~

"Hey mum, look there's a kid over there" 7-year-old Tess Guerin pointed out.

"Where honey?" Mrs Guerin asked motioning to her husband to stop the car.

"Over there" Michael replied, he could now see the kid as well.

"Where?" Mrs Guerin asked again.

"Over by the big rock…" Tess said. Mrs Guerin could now see him as well. She got out of the car and wondered over to the boy.

"Hi sweetie, are you lost?" She asked. Michael could see the boy nodding, "Can you talk??" He then watched as the boy shook his head. They then got the boy into their car and drove to the nearest police station. From that moment on Alex was apart of the family.

~*^*~Flash back ends~*^*~

"Well you see Alex came out after I did and well I was over at the orphanage with them trying to find my family." Liz explained carefully leaving Maria and Kyle out of it. Michael nodded. He then heard the doorbell ring.

"I'll get it" Alex called out. He then ran down the stairs (two at a time and opened the door.
