Thanks for reviewing Courtney! I'm glad you like my story. :) I'll try to write more soon, and you know, keep updating. :) Well, I hope you like this part. It's a little slow at first b/c the DC gang still has to learn Liz's story. But after that it'll get better. Enjoy!

Meanwhile, back in Capeside, Liz was sitting down by Pacey in Dawson's room for movie night. Tonight, they were watching Jurassic Park, a Spielberg classic, Dawson had said. The movie had just ended, so Dawson quickly flipped on the lights and rewound the video. Everybody stood up and stretched. Andie turned to Liz.


"So, Liz, you've been here for almost a month now. I think we're all pretty close, right?" Andie asked. Liz nodded. "So;" Andie continued. "I was just wondering if you were comfortable enough with us to talk about why you left Roswell." Liz hesitated, and Andie quickly added, "It's OK if you don't want to." Liz shook her head.


"It's OK." She said. Liz sighed and looked around the room at her friends. "Well, let's see... In Roswell, I usually would hang out with my best friend, Maria, and my friend Alex. Then, I met some more people, kinda by accident, and we all became friends." Liz said. "Their names were Isabel, Michael, and Max." Joey turned to Liz.


"Max?" She asked. "I think your mom told us something about him hanging around you a lot." Joey said. Liz nodded and smiled a little.

"Yeah. Um, Max and I dated for a long time. Kind of off and on." Liz told everyone.

"So why would you want to leave your friends, and Max?" Jack asked.

"Well, it's..." Liz thought for a while for a reason that was reasonably close to the truth, without exposing the truth. "Max dumped me for this girl, Tess, because she was convinced that they're destined to be together." Liz replied. When Liz said destiny, Dawson snuck a quick glance at Joey, who was watching Liz.

"You loved him, didn't you?" Joey asked. Liz nodded and fought to keep from crying.

"So, when he dumped me; I was heartbroken; and that's why..." Liz stopped and swiped at some tears that had fallen. Pacey silently reached out and pulled her towards him in a hug. He gently held her and let her cry into his shirt.

"It's OK." He tried to comfort her. Joey stared at him and Liz jealously, though she tried to hide it.

"You know what you should do?" Jen asked Liz, interrupting the silence. Liz looked at her curiously.

"What?" She wanted to know.

"You should send him a picture of some real hunk and tell him that you're dating that guy." Jen said and grinned mischievously. "Then he'd be jealous of you." Liz smiled a little and contemplated this.

"Actually, I sent my friend Maria some pictures of everyone. She'll probably show them to everybody there, including Max." Liz replied. Jack grinned.

"Well, then at least Max can get jealous of me." He said. Dawson frowned and put his hands on his hips.

"Why would he be jealous of you, Jack?" He wondered. "I'm the handsome one." Liz fought to keep from snickering when Dawson said that. Pacey grinned.

"No offense, Dawson, Jack, but out of the three of us, I'm definitely the hot one." He said. Dawson frowned even more, and Jack shook his head.

"OK, let's see." Jack started. "Dawson is obviously not the most handsome." He said. Dawson took offense and stood up, putting his hands on his hips.

"Why am I not the hot one?" He demanded to know. "I'm cute!" Pacey and Jack exchanged amused glances and ignored Dawson.

"So, let's just say Max can get jealous of both of us." Jack replied. Pacey nodded.

"Fine." He turned to Liz and grinned. "Max will be jealous of Jack and me." He told her. Then, Pacey leaned in and whispered, "But especially me." Liz grinned a little. Dawson just continued sulking about how he should be the hot one. But, he picked out another movie, and they all began to watch it.


A few days later, in Roswell, Maria, Alex, and Isabel were sitting down at a table. Maria took out an envelope from her purse and showed it to Isabel.

"I've got pictures of the 'Capesiders'." She informed her. Isabel shrugged.

"They're probably just townies." She told Maria. She wasn't interested in seeing

their pictures. Alex, however, sat down by Maria in order to see them. As Maria took out

a picture of a gorgeous brunette, Alex noticed that she seemed familiar.

"Who's she?" He asked Maria. "She looks sorta like Liz." Maria glanced at the back of the card.

"That's Joey Potter, Liz's cousin." Maria told him. Alex nodded.
"OK." Then, Maria took out another picture. This one was of an attractive guy. His name was Jack. After that, Maria took out another picture of 2 blondes. They were Jen and Andie. Liz had also written that Andie was Jack's twin sister. Next, Maria took out another picture and gasped. This guy was extremely good-looking. Maria turned the picture over and smiled. On the back, Liz had written- Pacey Witter :-). Isabel saw Maria smile and got curious.

"What is it?" She asked. Maria gave her the picture and Isabel grinned.

"He's hot!" She exclaimed. Alex sunk down in his chair, feeling crestfallen. Isabel turned to Maria, intrigued by the picture. Nobody noticed as Max entered the cafe and headed towards them. "Who is he?" Isabel wanted to know. Maria smiled.

"His name is Pacey Witter, he's the guy who first befriended Liz when she went there." Maria said. Isabel raised her eyebrows.

"Really?" Maria nodded.

"Liz said he's really sweet and nice, and obviously handsome." Maria told Isabel.

"She said they've gotten pretty close." Isabel grinned.

"Who wouldn't want to get close?" She asked, and Maria grinned back at her. Alex sighed, feeling uncomfortable, and let his gaze wander around the cafe.

"Max!" He gasped, surprised to see him standing right beside him. Isabel instantly tried to hide the photo, but to no avail.

"Who's the guy?" Max asked.
