The jeep pulled up in front of the Crashdown. This town has some major thing going with aliens, Max thought.
"You said you were looking for Liz Parker? You'll find her there." Isabel said as she pointed to the alien themed diner with a flashy neon sign.
"Thanks again. You don't realize how much I appreciate the ride." Max said as she got out of the jeep. Taking deep breaths, Max prepared herself to come face to face with the much younger Liz.
~~~~~
Liz was still attempting to balance the two trays filled with food both high in sodium and saturated fat when she heard the chime. She called back, "Hey Maria, can you get that? I'm kinda busy."
"Sure thing." Maria walked up to Max. "Hi, welcome to the Crashdown. I'm Maria and I'll be your server today. You can take a seat wherever you want and I'll bring you a menu." She said with a smile.
"Thanks." Max said as she looked around the busy cafe. She sat in an empty booth and shrugged off her jacket.
She looked around and saw weird alien balloons everywhere and even chuckled when she took a good look at the waitress' uniform. **Weird people they got here in Roswell*
Maria approached her and handed her a menu. "I don't think I recognize you from school. You new here in Roswell?"
"Oh, yeah. I just transferred here from Seattle. My parents decided it was time for change."
"To Roswell? There's absolutely nothing important here." Maria laughed. "The name's Maria."
"I'm Max. So Maria, what do you recommend?"
"Um, I'd go for the space fries. If you have a sweet tooth, definitely the Men in Blackberry Pie."
"Sure, I'll have a Men in Blackberry Pie and a cherry coke." As Max handed Maria she asked her, "Maria, I was told I could find Liz Parker here."
Maria studied Max. Could she be a secret agent? Why would a sudden stranger ask for Liz? "She's an old friend." Max quickly added when she saw the suspicious look Maria was giving her.
"She's prolly around the back. I'll ask her to come out when she's free." Maria hurried to the back and almost ran into Liz.
"Liz!"
"Whoa, Maria. Calm down. I'm right here." Liz chuckled.
"Liz. This is majorly whack. This new girl in town said she was looking for you. Supposedly an old friend of yours." Maria led Liz to the door and the both peered through the glass window.
"I don't recognize her." Liz frowned.
"She says she's an old friend. Why would she lie?" Liz shook her head in confusion. After taking a deep breath she moved to open the door. "What are you doing Liz?? You're not going to talk to her, are you???"
"I'm going to see what she's up to. I'm not going to hide in here the whole day."
Liz walked to the both where Max was sitting and she stood in front of the table. Max looked up and recognized her immediately. True, she looked younger but it was definitely Liz.
"I hear you've been looking for me. Here I am. How can I help you?" Liz said, trying to keep her voice steady and hide her fear.
"Look Liz, I'm not here to hurt you. As a matter of fact, I'm here to do the exact opposite. To help you from making a horrible mistake that will affect the lives of others. " She motioned Liz to take a seat. How on earth do I tell someone that I'm from the future??? Liz cringed inwardly as she sat down across from Max.
"Mistake? What are you talking about? I don't even know you!" Liz said through gritted teeth.
"You do. There really isn't any other way then to say it striaght up. Liz, I'm from the future."
"Oh God, why me???" Liz muttered under her breath. "Look, whoever you are. This sick joke has gone on long enough!"
"This isn't a joke." Max said insistently. "I used the gran... o... what was that thing called again? Oh yah. Granolith."
Liz's eyes widened. "How do you know about the Granolith?"
Max smiled. "YOU told me about it."
"That's impossible..."
"Liz..." Liz waited in anticipation and fear. "You have to tell MAX the truth." Max said softly.
Liz sputtered in disbelief. Out of all the things she expected, THAT wasn't it. "The truth about what?" Liz asked innocently pretending that she didn't have a clue about what Max was talking about..
"Don't play with me. I don't have time for this. Logan's life depends on this. Dr. Evans' life depends on this. And all the others..."
Liz shot out of her seat. "STOP IT! JUST STOP IT! Stop telling me this! I've done this before!!! I don't need this! It's all LIES!!!" She screamed and ran to her room. Sighing, Max got up and looked at the faces of the confused and shocked customers. "Don't you people have anything better to do???" She spat out as they quickly turned away. **This is going to be harder than I thought. How am I going to convince Liz to tell MAX the truth?** Shrugging her shoulders she walked out of the Crashdown.
