*Two days later*

Michael quickly knocked on the Evan's door praying that Max was there.

Max opened the door and once he saw the look on Michae's face he quickly ushered him back to his bedroom. "What's up Michael?" He asked as he closed the door. "Is everyone alright? Tess, Maria, Alex. . . Liz?"

Michael nodded and watched as Max let out a sigh of relief. "I shouldn't even tell you this but I have to," Michael paused, "I know where Liz went the night of the party.

Instantly Max was at his side, "where was she? Please tell me Michael."

Michael sighed, "Maria told me. Liz came to her the morning after and she was a wreck. Liz didn't go home that night Max," Michael watched as the expression on Max's face fell as the realization hit him.

"Who was it?" He asked half-heartedly.

Michael paused before answering, "Alex."

*At the same time*

Liz smiled as she looked through the old photographs. In a fit of nostalgia she had pulled the long forgotten box out from under her bed and all day she had been looking at the pictures from the early years of high school and remembering.

Things had been so much different back then- back when the three of them knew nothing about aliens. Back before Max had saved her life and she had fallen hopelessly in love with a lost cause.

Liz picked up one of the pictures and smiled as she remembered. It had been the summer before ninth grade at her birthday party and the first time she had realized Alex had a crush on her and the first time either of them had acted on it.

*Flashback*

Liz smiled and waved as the last car pulled out of the driveway and she, Maria, and Alex all stood out on the sidewalk watching as the car drove away.

"You two are helping me clean up," Liz said and laughed when she heard the moans of disapproval from both Alex and Maria. "Oh Maria I didn't hear you complaining when you were spraying the silly string all over the room!"

Maria laughed and nodded her head, "I guess you're right. Let's go in and start," she agreed as she headed inside.

Liz began to follow but Alex caught her wrist and pulled her back. "I need to talk to you Liz," he said looking her deep in the eye. To Liz his voice sounded different and there was a look in his eye that she had never seen before, or at least not chosen to see.

For the first time the realization dawned on her. Alex liked her- it all made sense now, the way he always found a way to hang out with Maria and her, he was always around following them everywhere.

The two stood there for a minute before Alex spoke again, "I really like you Liz. I never told you this before but I do. I think you're really nice and pretty and. . ." he let his sentence trail off and Liz watched as a deep crimson shaded his face and he laughed nervously. "You can say no Liz but I have to ask you something."

"What?" Liz asked looking at him in a way that encouraged him to continue.

"Can I kiss you?" He asked shyly and Liz smiled warmly nodding her head. Slowly he leaned over and on that night they both received their first kiss- the kiss they would remember for a lifetime.

*End of Flashback*

Liz smiled still being able to hear the shyness of Alex's voice when he asked her if he could kiss her. How could Liz have forgotten those days? Back when she had actually had feelings for Alex?

When Max Evans entered her life he had washed away all the feelings Liz had ever had for other guys. He had transfixed her and as the months wore on she had forgotten every possibility that lay in a relationship with Alex. How could she have forgotten?
