Liz looked up as Max walked in the office. "Max, why aren't you in class?" he asked wondering what was up.
"Mrs. Johnson sent me to the office for a referral form."
"Oh, alright." Liz said as she knelt and got one from under the counter. "Here you go. Anything else?"
"Well, I would take a kiss, but I know how you feel about kissing in the office." He said with a grin.
"Oh just kiss him."
Liz turned to look at Mrs. Phillips, the school secretary. Susanne was grinning from ear to ear. She loved to tease Liz about being a married woman, and Max knew it. Liz smiled then turned back to Max and leaned across the counter to give him a quick kiss.
Liz leaned back, and Max smiled. "Meeting after school. Meet me at the car?" he asked.
"Sure." Liz said with a smile. "Now get back o class."
Max smiled again then turned, at the door he paused and called to Mrs. Phillips, "Don't tease her too much Susanne." Flashing Liz a grin he walked out. Liz looked at Susanne and the two started to laugh.

That afternoon, everyone gathered at Maria's.
"I still don't know why we didn't meet at my place." Michael grumbled.
"Because spaceboy, your place is a pigsty." Maria told him
"Is not."
"Is too."
"Not"
"Too"
"Stop it you two. Time to be adults again" Kyle said sarcastically, "or as close to it you can be." He mumbled.
"Oh really Buddha Boy?" Maria asked challengingly
"Really" Kyle replied, taking her up on her challenge.
"Make me." Maria told him.
"Fine. Watch me." Kyle replied
"Hey, stop it." Michael told them
"Stay out of this Spaceboy." Kyle said turning to him.
"Hey Buddha Boy, no one calls me Spaceboy except the whiney chick." Michael replied
"Whiney Chick? Who are you calling 'whiney chick', cause it better not be me." Maria exclaimed.
"That' it! Maria sit on the couch next to Max. Michael go sit in the chair. Kyle, next to your dad." Liz said firmly from where she had stood up.
"But Liz." Maria began.
"Move!" Liz said before Maria could continue. The three of them did as told; all the while giving Liz dirty looks.
"Oh come on. Give her a break. She beat me to it by two seconds." Max said rolling his eyes. Liz sat down next to him and Maria. "Anyways, why are we here?" Liz asked
"We think you're right. Iz, Michael and I talked about it, and it's time we told our parents the truth. Now the question is, do you guys want to tell your parents too?"
"Well, we probably should tell my mom." Maria began slowly, "After all, she has been mindwarped and she is dating Jim."
"Alright. Anyone else?" Iz asked softly.
"Well, we could tell my mom I suppose. Especially since her grandkids will be well, unique." Jessie said with a half smile.
"Are you sure?"
"Izzy, I'm sure." he replied softly.
"Alright. What about the Parkers?" Michael asked slowly.
"I think my mom would be ok, but do you want to risk telling my dad?" Liz asked softly looking around the room.
"I don't think he would turn us in Liz." Isabel said slowly.
"But can we be sure? After all, he doesn't like Max as it is." Maria replied softly.
"He'd be turning us all in, except for you and Jessie. I don't think Mr. Parker would turn his daughter in to the FBI just to get back at Max."
"You never know Kyle." Maria replied.
"No, but I do. Liz's father would do anything to get me out of her life, but not when she's at risk." Max said looking at Liz.
"Maybe we should tell the Parkers, get it out in the open. They would never tell, because of Liz, and maybe if they knew the truth then they would accept the two of you better."
"I think you're right Jessie. We should tell my parents."
"Alright, but when?" Maria asked softly.
"And should we tell them seperatly or together?" Michael replied.
"Together, definatly together. That way we can get it all done at once, and there will be more people there to help control my father if he goes nuts."
"Alright, any ideas on how we get your father and mother to come?" Maria asked as she got up to get a drink.
"One, Jim."
"My dad? Liz how can that work?"
"I think I understand what she's thinking, we have your dad invite them over, and they won't suspect a thing."
"Do you think that would work Max?"
"It has to Iz, I can't think of anything else."
"Alright, I'll talk to my dad. When's a good day?"
"Friday night?" Liz suggested.
"That sounds good to me." Kyle said slowly thinking about the week, "How about everyone else?"
Everyone gave their agreement in different ways, then Max continued.
"Well, I guess everyone gets to go home and talk to their parents. Iz, I;ll talk to mom and dad tonight."
"Alright, so what's our cover story?"
"Dinner with everyone and their parents?"
"That could work. Good idea Maria."
"Thanks Liz."
"Alright, until Friday then." Max said standing up.
Here you go :)
