Maria leaned against Michael as she tried not to doze off. After spending quite awhile making out, they had decided to watch a movie. Maria's mom, Amy, had liked movies a lot so they owned a wide variety of movies and dvds. Also since her mother was hardly home because she owned a store on Main Street and was in the process of opening another one in Grapevine, a town nearby, Amy failed to be home a lot hence another reason to own movies. Amy thought it was the perfect thing to entertain her only daughter with. If she just popped in A Night's tale, hunky Heath Ledger would be on her mind and not the fact that she hadn't seen either of her parents in three days. Maria's father was an alcoholic jerk who was the president of a large corporation that's mail purpose was to force poor people to sell their land for cheap prices so that Maria's father could build Walmart, McDonalds, and other stores.

Maria sighed as she changed positions. She had promised herself she wouldn't let this get to her. When both of her parents had failed to show up at her thirteenth birthday party and May, the maid, was forced to supervise it, Maria had decided to not let them get to her. Just no matter how much she told herself they didn't matter, they still managed to hurt her. A silent tear fell down her face and onto Michael's shirt. He felt the wet spot on him and looked down. "What the hell? Maria are you ok?" he asked as all thoughts of Armageddon flew from his mind. She shook her head no, and he pulled her close to him and tried to comfort her the best he could.

Max lay on his bed throwing his plush football up in the air. He was extremely bored, terribly upset, and slightly disoriented. He wasn't sure what compelled him to buy that cd. "That's it." he muttered to himself as he suddenly sat up. He couldn't take this any more. He had to do something about his problem with Liz, and he had to do it now! He grabbed his wallet and keys and put them in his back pocket. He grabbed his cd and his portable cd player and headed out to his car.

Liz handed the men in blackberry pie to the customer and smiled. "Enjoy!" She said overly cheerfully as she headed away. She sat down on the counter and sighed. She was really upset right now, and felt like leaving Roswell. Infact she was so dejected she felt like quitting today and heading out. She had always wanted to visit California, and this was her chance.

"Ok so then Joe was like.Juanita was coming on to me!" Tess said giggling. She and Kyle were sitting in a diner in Grapevine. She liked spending time with him but shuddered at the thought of people seeing her with him! They were all ready giving her a hard time about the art project. What would happen if they knew she was sharing a milkshake with him? "Juanita Livingston?" Kyle asked grinning. He couldn't imagine Juanita and Joe together. Joe was just a notch below Max and Alex. In other words, he was almost perfect. Juanita was akward and not very smart. She didn't know how to carry herself, and he saw her pick her nose in chemistry the other day. He was always open to different people and not one to degrade others, but Juanita was also a bitch. She thought she was better than him. She thought she was as good as Tess.

Suddenly the restaurant was quiet. At first Liz didn't know what was going on but then she looked up and saw Max holding a cordless microphone and a white rose. He walked over to her and gave her the rose. Music began to blare out as Max started to sing.

I've been meaning to tell you

I've got this feelin' that won't subside

I look at you and I fantasize

Darlin' tonight

Now I've got you in my sights

With these hungry eyes

One look at you and I can't disguise

I've got hungry eyes

I feel the magic between you and I

I want to hold you so hear me out

I want to show you what love's all about

Darlin' tonight

Now I've got you in my sight

With these hungry eyes

One look at you and I can't disguise

I've got hungry eyes

I feel the magic between you and I

Now I've got you in my sight

With these hungry eyes

Now did I take you by surprise

I need you to see

This love was meant to be



After he was through, all the girls in the restaurant clapped. Max pretended not to notice as he walked up to Liz. "Will you forgive me?" he asked silently hoping she would. She nodded eagerly. He grinned and leaned down to kiss her. Liz closed her eyes as she waited for his lips to meet hers, and when they did she once again realized why girls fell for him.
