Hi Everyone! Thanks for the reviews, you know they give me a happy!

Sorry this is so short. I wanted to give you something since I've been so lax in posting. I'm

finishing the rest of this chapter as I post this. I promise it will be longer!

Two dedications:

Taynna, Thank you, thank you, thank you. You've been honest with your thoughts on the story and that helps more than you'll ever know!

Jacqueline, Good to see you back, I missed you!

Yes, I shamelessly stole the title from Season One, but it fit and I like it a lot better than my

original title of "Saturday"!!

The Morning After

Sera followed everyone to Michael's apartment after their shift ended at the Crashdown.

They trundled inside and stared at each other for several minutes.

"Are we waiting for Isabel?" Maria said the only thing she could think of to start conversation.

"No, she's not coming." Max said quickly

Maria frowned "Did you..."

"She didn't want to come."

Sera sighed at Max's inference. Isabel wasn't coming because she couldn't bear to be around

Serena and her new found alien status.

"I've been thinking about this all night." Max said. "I think the easiest way to find out what

we need to know is to reverse the connection.she what she knows."

"My objection stands." Michael said looking at his best friend.

"Michael this is the best way to know."

Max expected him to say more, but Michael just adopted the 'second in command' face and

stared straight through Max.

"I want to see." Maria's voice brought everyone's attention back to the situation.

"What?" Max asked her

"What!?" Michael asked the same question but with a decidedly harsher tone.

"I want to see for myself that she's on the level."

"NO!" Michael stated firmly.

"Michael,"

"No Maria."

"Look Michael, This is something I'm going to do with or without your permission, which I

don't need by the way!"

Michael took in the defiant look on his girlfriend's face and realized he was fighting a losing

battle. He turned his attention toward Sera.

"If you do anything to her.I will kill you; and I promise it will be slow, painful and involve

more kinds of torture than you can possibly imagine. You got that?"

Sera nodded, having no doubt that Michael was completely serious.

With that out of the way, Liz, Maria and Max clasped hands. Max laid his palm against Sera's

face as he had done last night.

"Show us what you remember about you, your life."

Soon the quartet was zipping through the images of Sera's life.

Her earliest memory involved a man turning Sera over to a couple, the group recognized the

woman as Nicole.

They saw her first day of grade school, making friends slowly, being scared of being the new girl.

Images of jr. high and high school were next. Dating boys, making the cheerleading squad, then

the day her father died and she discovered her powers. When the images shifted to Sera's few

months in Roswell, everyone noticed a change in her aura the minute she met Kyle. It radiates

around her even in their vision. They could feel her attraction towards him and her willingness to

let him in, something she hadn't done since her father died. The feeling grew when she became

friends with the others. Max, Liz and Maria felt nothing but genuine feelings, no alien nonsense,

no hidden agenda, as Isabel called it.

They watched the scene at Amy's shop unfold. Sera's surprise at her ability, her shock when the

man she and Michael blasted together exploded.

The fear she felt when everyone confronted her, her pain at Kyle's words.

After the slideshow was over, Max broke the connection and regarded Sera for a moment.

"How do you know River Dog?"

"River Dog?!" Michael asked, confused.

"Who's River Dog?" Sera asked, equally confused.

"The old man, who gave you to your parents. We know him."

"What?"

"I don't really remember. My parents told me I was found on a reservation and given to my

parents by the elders."

"Your father was a Mesaliko Indian."

It was a statement more than a question.

"Yes."

"Maxwell, that means." Michael began.

"That means that Sera was found on the reservation here."

Michael looked at the group, "How about we pay River Dog a little visit?"
