Part 1
I'm Liz Parker, and I want to tell you how my life changed forever…again.
Things are different now. Amazing things happened this summer. Things I can still barely comprehend even now.
I interned at Roswell Community Library this summer. I enjoyed it a lot. I mean why wouldn't I? I was totally at home. So many books, information just waiting to be absorbed, it was like heaven. Ok, not heaven, but pretty close to a self proclaimed bookworm.
I worked the afternoon shift at the Crashdown on Saturday, August 26, and was running late to the Library. I was closing that night, and I knew I would have to work late…on a Saturday night…with a party raging down the street…a new dress for said party in my closet…and the possibility of meeting up with a certain Czechoslovakian I was crushing on. Needless to say, I was not thrilled at the prospect of working overtime!
Mrs. Hardey, my boss asked me to lock up when I finished restacking the books on my cart, and replacing the microfilms that were viewed that day of the town newspaper.
I called Maria to let her know I would be late, asked her to pick me up at 10:30, and to bring my dress. I proceeded to put away the books, saving the filmstrips for last, because it was pure murder placing each one the correct file.
Maria arrived at about 11pm, late as usual. In this case, it was all right because as I was replacing the film slides, a date caught my eye. Max and Isabel had been found on that date in the desert after leaving the pod chamber. I was curious, and decided to take a look at it. That was where Maria found me when she came in. She was rushing, as usual, and offered to help me put the microfilm away. As I reached down to gather the filmstrips, another date popped out at me, then another and another. I started to get a bad feeling, as I put in the next microfilm. All of the slides that were pulled that day, in some way corresponded to a major alien disaster, and when I say alien, I mean, "our" aliens. Everything was there, from the events of the Alien Festival, the shooting at the Crashdown, Agent Pierce and Nasado disappearing, and several others. No way this could be coincidence!!!
Only five filmstrips didn't fit the pattern. One was dated exactly six years to the day, before Max and Isabel Evans were found wandering in the New Mexico desert. Maria and I decided to look at that one first. As the screen adjusted, the front page of the Daily Roswellian came into view.
4 Infants Found on the Steps of Local Police Station
Roswell - Four Infants were found this morning outside of the Chaves County Sheriffs' office. "I walked in this morning at about 6:30 to retrieve my daily readouts. I started back out to my car no more than 5 minutes later, and there they were," said Deputy Jim Valenti, who has been with the department for three years. Each baby was wrapped in a blanket, and left in a basinet. No note has been found. The only thing personal found on the babies, were individual necklaces with strange markings around each of their necks.
All four infants, two boys and two girls, are in excellent health, and have no visible signs of neglect. Dianne Evans, a nurse at Roswell Community Hospital has confirmed, "The babies are all doing well. I have never seen anything like it, however. These babies are just a few hours old, but their eyes are wide open. They are even playing with their toes and gurgling already."
"I just don't understand why anyone would abandon these poor defenseless babies," said Nancy Parker in an interview this afternoon. She and her husband Jeff, the owners of the new Crashdown Restaurant are caring for the two girls. The boys are in the care of Elayne and John Whitman.
All resources are being used to find the parents of these little ones. If you have any information, please call the Chaves County Sheriffs Department or the Roswell Police Department.

Mysterious Lights seen over Desert Again
The lights are back! Our very own UFO's were seen again last night for nearly three hours. "It seems our little friends are becoming more active…"
**********************************************************************
This was big news. In small towns, big news lives on for a long time. It seemed really strange that neither Maria nor I had ever heard about this. Especially since our parents were involved. I made a mental note to ask my mom and dad about it when they got back from Arizona next week. I also realizes my mom would have been about eight months pregnant with me, and two newborns to take care of on top of that! Sounded like a death wish to me!!!
Maria started rambling about something. I wasn't really paying attention, because my entire focus was drawn to the remaining four slides. Do you know what it's like when you were a child and you did something wrong at school? You knew the teachers would tell your parents, so you walked home as slow as possible, and the close you got to home the slower you would walk. You know how your stomach dropped, and you just had this sense of lingering dread wash over you? That was how I felt as I stared at the slides. The first was dated on Kyle's birthday.
First of Roswell Four Adopted
Roswell - One month ago, our community was stunned when for newborn babies were found on the steps of the Chaves County Sheriffs Department. No one has come forward to claim responsibility, so District Judge Harris has ruled that the babies be put up for adoption.
Jim and Vivian Valenti were the first to step forward and begin the adoption process. The papers were signed this morning, and baby Kyle will be returning home with them this afternoon.
As you might remember, Deputy Valenti was the first to find the four…
*********************************************************************
I had never been so shocked in my life. I didn't know Kyle had been adopted. My hands were shaking as I put in the next slide, although I wasn't consciously sure if I knew why. Then the screen cleared, and my entire body went numb. Maria fainted next to me, and somewhere subconsciously I registered that fact, but I couldn't tear my eyes away from the screen.
Baby Maria's Adoption is Finalized!
I knew deep down what was in the final two films, but I had to look anyway. One was dated on my birthday, and the other on Alex.
Baby Elizabeth Stays with the Parkers
&
Last of the Roswell Four Adopted
John and Elayne Whitman opened their doors to baby Alex last month, when he was found with three others at the Sheriff's Department. Now Alex will have a permanent place in their family…
**********************************************************************
Maria began to wake up, and started asking questions. It was all I could do to not bolt out of there. My mind was racing. Maria, Alex, Kyle and I were found on a doorstep. Our parents had never said anything! No one had, and I couldn't help but see the similarity…Max, Michael and Isabel were also found alone, left by someone unknown.
I had to find them, my friends, Kyle, Alex, Max, Michael, Isabel, even Tess. I would have actually been able to stand the company of Tess at that moment. How desperate was that! I vaguely remember locking up as quickly as possible, and practically pushing Maria out to the car. She was in total breakdown mode, and I realized neither of us were stable enough to drive. So, I drug her down the street, nearly running. The party was only two blocks away, on the opposite side of the street.
I could feel the music pulsing from the house across the street, and started to cross, but hung back because I heard a motorcycle coming down the street. As the motorcyclist, (which I then recognized as Michael) came parallel to a van sitting across the road, two very drunk junior guys ran out from behind it.
Everything seemed to go in slow motion from there. The boys stood in the middle of the road scuffling, totally oblivious to everything. Michaels' breaks were screeching. Maria was in her own world, and I did what I've always done when faced with something horrible. My hand shot up in front of my body and I screamed, "NO"! However, this time instead of slow motion horrible, something amazing happened. As soon as the scream left my throat, an unseen hand pushed boys out of the way!
My fingertips were on fire, and my whole body felt electrically charged. I saw the guys fly out of the way, and that's when realization dawned on me. I did that. Me, Liz Parker, just saved these two guys!!! But just as quickly as the power charged through me, it left, and when it left, all of my energy was completely drained.
I don't remember much after that. Michael was by my side in an instant, lowering me to the ground, as my knees gave way. He was screaming at Maria to go get the others, which I assume she did. I was fading quickly, but I watched as every emotion I could think of played over Michael's face, wonder, awe, fear, concern, finally realization, then relief, and bewilderment. This was the first time I had seen Michael completely unguarded. I could vaguely make out the sound of my name being called, and feet pounding on the pavement, but my focus was entirely on Michael. A half smile tugged at his lips, as he looked down at me, and told me everything would be all right. "Rest now Liz, you saved us." As he held me in his strong arms, I knew he was telling the truth. I also knew I would be safe.
~FIN~
Summary: Liz finds something that changes her life, again, and it effects everyone. NO real paring for now, just the formation of a really strong bond between Mi/L. This is my Roswell universe, so some things happened concurrent with the show and some did not. Alex is not dead, and never will be.
