I absolutly love Roswell. I hated it that they killed Alex off the show. So I decided to write a story where Alex was still alive. I actually started this story the beginning of last year, but now I have found it again and am going to finish it. Leave me LOTS and LOTS of reviews!!!!!

Best Friends

Beginning of the Story



Alex sat at the counter of the Crashdown, eating breakfast, and watching his best friends work. He smiled as Maria almost dropped an order and Liz shot her a evil look. He loved those two girls, of course, how could he not. His mind flashed back two months ago when the three of them were staying the night at Liz's.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Liz and Maria lay on her bad and he sat on the floor. They were making up a reality. A reality where aliens existed and evil lurked around every corner.

"Wait! I have a better plan. How about Liz gets shot at the Crashdown and Max rushes up to her and heals her. The perfect way to introduce aliens." Maria gushed with excitement. Liz rolled her eyes and Alex burst out laughing. only Maria would think of super quiet Max as an alien, but then, an alien would never really want to be noticed by others.

"I think that can work." Alex said. "Ouch!" He cried out when Liz hit him with her pillow.

"Why do I have to be the one who is shot?" Liz asked. "And why does Max have to be the one to save me?" The others gave her knowing looks and she blushed.

Alex reached up and touched the side of her cheek. "Because your in love with him, little girl." He said in a childish voice. Liz face turned even redder, but she did not deny it.

"OK, if I get stuck with Max then I vote that Maria falls in love with Michael." Liz said getting even with her best friend.

"What!" Maria cried out. Outraged that her friend could even say that. "There is no way on earth that I will fall in love with that pompous, arrogant, stupid...." The laughter of her best friends cut her off.

"Me thinks she does protest to much." Alex choked out between laughs.

"Fine...I can play that game. I vote that Alex falls in love with the Ice Queen herself." The room quiet. A penny dropping on the floor could have echoed throughout the room and no one would have heard it. What Maria was insinuating was impossible. Isabel, the Ice Queen, could never fall in love with someone who was below her station. Everyone at school knew that Isabel thought to much of herself to date a high school student. She would be more likely to fall in love with an older man, than with someone of their age.

Liz shook her head. "No, that's way to harsh. It would be a one sided love."

Maria started arguing, but Alex blocked them out. Isabel was by far the most beautiful girl in school. She also had a superior attitude. She knew she was pretty. "I'll do it." He finally voiced.



The two girls stopped arguing and looked at him. "What!" Liz cried out in shock. "You cannot be serious Alex. That's like asking to be hurt."

Alex looked her in the eyes. "I can live with that. I also vote that Isabel and Michael be aliens too."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Do you want anything else to eat?" A voice broke through he thoughts. He blinked he eyes and looked at Liz.

"No thanks."

Maria walked up next to them and smiled. "He is starring at you again."

Liz rolled her eyes and shook her head. "No, he is not. He I just getting tired of waiting on you to ask for his order." Maria through her nose up in the air and stalked off. Alex watched her go and his eyes met Max's.

"She's right Liz. He is watching you." It took all her had to not laugh at Liz exasperated face. Ever since they came up with Max being an alien Alex and Maria had constantly been on Liz's back about how she felt about him. "We are still getting together tonight at Maria house, right?" He asked trying to save his friend from anymore embarrassment.

She nodded her head before leaving to help some customers.

Alex took this time to think about his best friends. They had so much in common, but each had their own path they were going to take in life. Liz wanted to go to Harvard, and she could. Alex knew that she would blow those people away with that sharp brain of hers. Maria wasn't sure what she wanted to do, but she knew it involved getting out of Roswell. Alex, well, he didn't really care what his path in life was. His only goal was to work with computers. Maybe part time he could work in a band, and Maria could be their lead singer. He shook his head at that thought. Nope, no way would he ever work with Maria. He loved her, but she was the hardest person to deal with when she wanted something. She and Liz and butted heads many times, and he would always have to break them up. A very dangerous position to be in, but someone had to do it. He paid his check and left Liz a very generous tip before leaving.

"Five o'clock!" He heard Maria yell to him as he reached the door. He waved his hand to let her know that he had heard her before walking out.

During his walk home his mind flew to the time period between now and when they made up their story of little green men. Amazingly Maria and Michael started going out shortly after. So far she had seen no alien signs, but that didn't mean they weren't there. Maria was not always the most observant person. Once it got pass the face and the clothes they were wearing she stopped looking. He shook his head and continued walking. Oblivious to the surrounding area until he ran into someone.

"Oh, my goodness! I am so sorry. I wasn't watching where I was..." He looked up and saw Isabel looking at him. "going."

She shrugged her shoulders and started walking away before stopping and turning towards him. "Its Alex, right?"

He shyly nodded his head and watched her walked away. Butterflies danced in his stomach. She knew his name. He felt like screaming and shouting for joy. The Ice Queen herself knew who he was. Yippee!!!

He couldn't wait to get home and call the girls.
