Title: A Rude Awakening

Authors: Elsie (Spikette) and Elly (Dreamer_4_Ever). We just did this because we were bored one day. We did it via email, because in real life, we have only met once or twice. Neither of us knew what the other was going to say, so it was sorta a surprise 4 us each time.

Rating: PG-13 (We weren't sure, so we went with this 4 if we swore or whatever shit!)

Disclaimer: We (sadly) will never own any of the characters in the fanfic apart from Jess who we made up. The Roswell characters belong to Melinda Metz, and Jason Katims. The ones from Avrils band belong to -well, to themselves!! Elly put Matt in coz he is hot;)

Summary: This is a AU story, they all know each other apart from Michael. Matt and his family are friends of the DeLucas, and Maria has moved to Roswell from Seattle. Isabel is just about to move over to Seattle, but something bad happens to the family.

Say hi too everyone back home for me. You are so lucky to be able to come to Roswell later. all you can do in this damn town is go to the Crashdown (a cafe) or well go 2 a club tho i can never remember the name! BTW I have a job as a waitress at the Crashdown. Hows Jess? I got to go now talk 2 you later. Bye Sis! hugs and kisses Ria P.S. Come to Roswell soon, can't wait!

Maria DeLuca logged on to her computer and signed into her email account. Two emails from Iz. Wonder what the second ones about. She read the first one, Alex is gonna be so pleased when I tell him the news! 3 days till I see my sister! I missed her so much.

Hey Ria, How ya doin? I am doing fine. Seattle is normal, everyone is missing u tho! Got any new friends? No. Life without you SUCKS! I love you, and u r all the way across America. Sean, is being a pain in the butt as usual, and mom is trying to get him to leave since he managed to blow up the shed. Don't ask how tho! I am coming to Roswell in about three days, Jessie's transfer went fine, she has now got the job in Boston, but is leaving in a few weeks. I just need to switch collages, and then I can come move in to Roswell. Roswell sounds kinda dull. Is it? You got a job? That is so great! Have fun with that. Jessie is fine, she says hi. So does mom, and pain in the butt Sean. Mail me back, Luv u loads! Izzy. P.S. Just booked the flight! See you in three days(Friday!)

I have some really BAD news. Mom is ill. I have to stay longer. I am so sorry about it. I had to delay the flight, and the next one is in a week. I will try to make it, but if mom is still ill then.... We are all really worried. You should come down here asap, she keeps asking for you. Sorry to be a party pooper, but I am so worried. Luv u and miss u, Izzy

As she read the other email from Isabel in shock she quickly typed a response.

Isabel paced up and down the room. Shed had just got the email from Maria, and didn't know what to do with herself. She had just over four hours till Maria arrived. She sat down at the computer, and logged on. There was an email waiting for her.

Alex

She suddenly felt really guilty. She had totally forgotten about Alex, in all the confusion about her mom. She had nothing else to do, so she typed a reply.

To: Alex Whitman From: Isabel Deluca Subject: re: Hey Iz Date: 02 October 2002 Alex, I'm really sorry, but I have to wait at least a week till I can come down to Roswell. I dunno if Ria told u, but my mom is really ill, and it happened before I met u and it was really bad so I have to stay home. Ria is on her way back now. I am so sorry, I am missing u so bad. Luv u loads Izzy
