-the voice is now the known as the figure.
The day of the funeral is a sombre day. It was 3:00 pm when many of the Roswell residents showed up to bury Amy Delucca. They showed up one by one until the last person showed up… Amy's daughter, one Maria Delucca. The gang stood there in shock as she walked up to her mother's grave and stood right next to the minister, who had promptly begun the ceremony after she had arrived. The funeral went by quickly and after everyone had said their goodbyes to Amy they all proceeded to the reception. Yet again Maria is the last one to show up and as she enters the reception the others rush up to talk to her. They are unsuccessful in their attempts to reach her and she spends the rest of the evening talking to everyone else. Finally Michael works up enough courage to isolate her alone and talk to her, soon after the others show up to confront her about her whereabouts as well.
Michael: Maria, where have you been I've been so worried about you.
Maria is silent.
Michael: Why did you run away… I wanted to talk to you.
Maria still remains silent.
Isabel: Are you just gonna stand there and say nothing?!!!!!!!!!!! Dammit Maria we were scared for you, you ran out in the middle of the night without so much as a goodbye. And, now, now, you don't wanna talk to us?!!! We're your friends…
Maria: Hahaha! Friends… that's a good one! You ignore me for weeks, you shut me out of your lives, and I'm suddenly an outcast in the restaurant THAT I YES I started!! And we're supposed to be friends? Friends don't do that.
Michael: Maria…
Maria: I'm talking now Michael not you! Not anyone else in this room, ME YES ME! And don't any of you dare start with your, I was Worried BULLSHIT! Especially you Michael!…
Michael: I WAS WORRIED ABOUT YOU!…
Maria: YAH YOU WERE SO WORRIED… I GUESS THAT'S WHY YOU WE'RE IN BED WITH SKANKERELLA OVER THERE.
Ava: Maria it's not what you think I…
Maria: OH IT'S NOT WHAT I THINK… SO I IMAGINED THAT YOU TRIPPED AND FELL ON MY BOYFRIEND'S….
Liz: Okay… this isn't getting us anywhere. Michael, Isabel, Ava, you need to calm down. Maria, you need to listen…
Maria: OH, NO, NO, LIZ YOU NEED TO LISTEN! YOU ALL NEED TO LISTEN!
Max: Maria, Liz is right if you just listen you'll understand why we….
Maria: No Max you need to listen. I gave you your business, I helped pay from our home, I was your best friend, I was always there for you… and this is how you repay me. Michael, you by sleeping with Ava,… and the rest of you for ostracizing me out of the group. Ya, that's real friendship. Look, I don't know the reasons for doing what you did, I'm not sure I even want to. But nevertheless, if you came here looking for forgiveness. Your not gonna get it cause quite frankly I'm not sure I can give it to you, I'm not even sure I want to.
Liz: Maria, please don't do this… if you just give us a minute to explain… you'll realize that…
Maria: Liz I'm not interested. I no longer care. You can have the restaurant, I'm not gonna take it away from you. It was a gift. But, I can't live or work in the same space as you, any of you. I've had enough. I'm moving on.
Liz: What do you want us to do with your things?
Maria: I dunno, burn them I guess
Maria turns to leave the room when Michael comes over to her he places her hand on her shoulder in an attempt to not let her leave.
Michael: Maria
Maria: No.
She leaves the room, leaving Michael standing there watching as she leaves. Liz refuses to give up and tries to follow her. She gets as far as following her to the Crashdown before she looses her. Accepting the inevitable the gang returns to New York. Meanwhile, Maria returns to a hotel on the outskirts of Roswell. When she gets to the room she finds it decorated in thousands of candles, rose petals and a dinner for two.
Maria: Wow! You spoil me rotten you no that?
Figure: Well you're my girl you deserve the best.
Maria: Umm really?
Figure: Ya really.
Maria and the figure stare at each other. They seem totally lost in each others eyes.
Maria: You know that the food is getting cold and I just happen to be starved.
Figure: Well we should do something about that shouldn't we?
Maria: Yes we should.
They sit down to eat and the night and talk about good times bad. Maria proceeds to tell him about her day and her experience with the gang and how they wanted to explain there actions to her. She went on to say how she refused and left them. By the time she was done telling her story she was in tears; the mysterious figure comforts her.
Maria: How could they be so cruel then ask me to forgive them?
Figure: I don't know…
Maria: I mean I was there best friend.
Figure: I'm sorry baby. But I think I have something that should cheer you up. No promises though.
Maria: Really what?
Just then he pulls out a giant tattered envelope she rips it open excitedly. She is disheartened to find it filled with confetti. She turns to the figure with a look of sadness on her face. Just then the figure pulls something out of his pocket… it's a small box.
Voice: Oh I guess I forgot to put this in there.
Maria: Give it to me!
Voice: Now, now patients is a virtue you know…
Maria: Not one I possess I'm afraid to say.
Voice: I made it myself.
Maria is speechless. She opens the box to find a ring encrusted with diamonds, two rubies on each side, and a giant diamond in the centre. Tears of joy well up in her eyes.
Maria: I don't know what to say?
Figure: Say yes
Maria: Yes! What did you think I'd say NO! No to you! Yes I'll marry you!
Figure: Really?
Maria: Yes really!
Figure: So what do you want for your wedding?
Maria: I dunno… I don't want anything too elaborate. I was kind of think maybe we could… you know elope.
Figure: Elope?
Maria: Ye, you don't want to.
Figure: No it's not that… I just didn't think that you'd be the type to do that, that's all.
Maria: Ye well times change… people change. So where do you want to elope to?
Figure: I don't know… what did you have in mind?
Maria: Vegas.
Figure: Vegas?
Maria: Ye Vegas.
