A/N: SUMMER IS FINALLY HERE!! A thanx goes out to all those who have
reviewed!
Liz waited for Kyle to come over. For some reason she seemed nervous, but Liz didn't know why. Why should she be nervous to have Kyle come over? Even though Liz knew it was because this is the first time in a very long time that she had a date with anyone besides Max. And that is exactly what she was going on. She felt guilty and kept looking at the phone. Thinking she could just call Kyle and tell him that she was more tired then she thought she was. That they could reschedule. But before Liz did call Kyle she heard a knock on the door. She inhaled a deep breath. "Here goes nothing"- Liz said to herself Liz walks over to the door an lets Kyle in. Liz smiled, it was so good to see him. Just not in a romantic way, but a loving friend way. "Hey"- She greeted Kyle "Hey"- He replied "So what did you rent?"- Liz asks "I rented a chick flick just for you. I dunno its called.." Kyle pauses to look down at the box of what he rented "Love Story, I dunno the lady at the rental place said it's a good date movie"- Kyle finished with a shrug Liz had to hide a cringe at the idea of a date movie. Liz just put on a smile as Kyle put his arm around her and led her to the couch in front of the TV. 'O God.. I can't do this'- Liz thought to herself. But she sat there quietly as Kyle put the movie in and she leaned against him when he sat back down. Kyle smiled happily, he did not see that Liz was on the verge of tears. 'This is what I chose'- Liz kept reminding herself The longer the movie went on the more Liz started to reflect on the other life that she lived. The other one where she was happily married. As she reflected she knew there must be a way to have that and keep every one alive. Liz sat there in contemplation wondering what triggered it all. Then she realized it was the shooting at the Crashdown that drew all of the attention. It was that incident that triggered the FBI, the Nasedo and with them all else followed. But Liz knew now that since the shooting did not occur the same way, she could have Max and the rest. Liz relaxed a little and smiled. But she knew she needed time to think. How could she get sometime alone with Max to talk to him. She needed to be away from Kyle. So Liz yawned. and look up at Kyle "hey, I guess I am more tired then I thought. I think I am just going to go to bed. Sorry for cutting this short.."- Liz said hoping she didn't seem to eager to have him leave. Kyle smiled at her "Its okay.. you've had a long day. I'll see ya on Monday."- he said Then he leaned in to give Liz a kiss and before thinking she just acted on reflex and pulled away. Kyle gave her a questioning look. "Liz you okay?"- He asks her "Ya, I'm. umm.just really tired"- Liz says and quickly turns and walks upstairs to her room.
Once up in her room Liz started brainstorming. How could she get some time alone with Max and tell him that she knew what he was? And how was she suppose to explain about how she knew who he was without telling him the whole story? He just couldn't take it all in now. Liz started crying. it was all to overwhelming for her. Here she was sixteen again, with the mind of a twenty two year old. Not just any twenty two year old, but one of a girl who was married to an Alien king, and who she herself was partly an alien. A mind of a women who had killed and been killed technically. But what was also bothering Liz was how come was she the only one who was sent back? Was it because of her powers? She had never done anything like this before. But then again her powers were still developing. As Liz sat there pondering she fell asleep.
Monday- School- Science
Liz and Max are both intently working on their science lab. But Liz kept stealing glances at Max as Max was doing the same. As they went on working Liz knew this was a perfect time to talk to him. Liz had decided the best way to get him was to get him to trust her. Maybe not fully but more then he does now, that way she can at least start to find a way to tell him. "So. Max you know what I have realized?"- Liz asks looking over at Max "What?"- Max asks thinking it had to do with the experience "This will be our second year as Lab partners and I don't really know anything about you"- Liz stated even though she was lying "You know what that's true"- Max says but his mind is reeling over the fact that Liz was talking to him "Ok so how bout we hang out after my shift at the crash is done and do our homework together and talk"- Liz suggests "Sure"- Max says Liz smiles over at him and say "Great seeya there" And she walks out the door as the bell rings. But as soon as she is out of her class her smile dissolves when she sees Kyle waiting for her. "So what you doing tonight after your shift tonight Liz?"- Kyle asks "Actually Max, my lab partner is coming over and helping me with the homework. I don't really understand it and he does."- Liz says knowing Kyle would not question her getting help with homework. " Oh. Okay then"- Kyle says. "Oh looks there's Maria and Alex"- Liz says quickly excusing her self from Kyle As Liz walks over to where they are her eyes start to water. There he is.. alive and well. There Alex is. Liz quickly hid her upcoming tears, thinking to herself 'what am I? A cry baby? Because I seem to be crying a lot!'. But when she gets up there she can't hold herself from giving Alex a hug. "What's this for?'- Alex asked confused "Just because I love ya.. !"- Liz states "Well, what can I say? I am just such a fine looking guy that all the girls love me!!"- Alex says Maria and Liz both laugh. Then at this time Liz thought maybe this life line isn't so bad. Its just different.
