Bonus Chapter
Isabel: Max, do you even know how to fly this thing?
Max: Not really.
Michael: Move over space-boy and let me show you how it's done.
Isabel: Michael are you sure about this?
Michael: Of coarse I am, besides, I was born to fly.
Max: Enough with the sarcasm Michael and just get us home.
Michael: Yes sir your royal majesty. Michael gets the ship off the ground and turns on the hyper drive. Within seconds they are transported to the edge of the Milky Way galaxy. Michael puts the ship on autopilot and then goes to one of the bedrooms where Isabel is. Isabel is sleeping but then wakes up.
Isabel: Michael.
Michael: Isabel, hey. I didn't wake you did I?
Isabel: No, I wasn't really sleeping anyway, just dream walking. Isabel sits up on her bed and Michael sits on a chair next to her.
Michael: You can do that from all the way out here?
Isabel: Yea. For some reason it works better from a further distance.
Michael: Can I ask whose mind you were dream walking in?
Isabel: Maria's. She's thought about you ever since you left to come save me. She loves you, you know.
Michael: I know but lately I'm not so sure I feel the same way.
Isabel: Michael, can I ask you something?
Michael: Yea.
Isabel: Why did you come rescue me?
Michael: Well, Max...
Isabel: If Max hadn't been involved.
Michael: I would've come anyway.
Isabel: Why? Michael stands up.
Michael: Isabel do we have to do this right now?
Isabel: Now's a better time than ever don't you think?
Michael: Okay. You want an answer, I guess the best thing for me to do is to be fair and give you that answer. Michael sits back down. You and I both know the reason.
Isabel: Remind me.
Michael: You're not making this any easier are you? I went to go help save you because the simple face is I love you. As much as I tried to dismiss the fact that I had feelings for you I just couldn't any longer. When Max told me you were missing I was afraid that I had lost you again.
Isabel: Wow! And here I thought Michael Guerin didn't share his personal feelings.
Michael: Yea well don't get use to it. Its bad for my reputation.
Isabel: Okay but maybe once in a while right?
Michael: Maybe. Michael and Isabel smile and then lean in and kiss. Max calls from the top deck.
Max: Michael, Isabel, you might want to come look at this. Michael and Isabel go to the top deck.
Isabel: What is it? What's wrong?
Max: Relax Iz. I just thought you'd like to see what Earth looked like from an extraterrestrials' point of view. Michael: Wow, it's not as bad as it seems. In about five minutes the ship entered the Earths atmosphere and landed at the same crash site where it had the first time. When Max, Michael, and Isabel came out of the spaceship, Liz, Kyle, Maria, and Sheriff Valenti were there waiting for them. Liz went up to hug Max and Maria went up to hug Michael. Isabel saw and she began to get a little jealous.
Max: Liz, Sheriff, what are you all doing here?
Valenti: Well I got a long distance call from your mother, Milandra, and she told me you all would be coming home so I called up Liz and Maria and had them come met me and Kyle here. So here we are.
Isabel: Well this surely is unexpected isn't it Michael? Michael? Michael keeps staring at Maria. Michael?
Michael: Yea, right, very unexpected. Michael stares at Maria some more.
Kyle: Well someone's glad to be home.
Isabel: I'll bet. Isabel leaves.
Liz: Max, is she okay?
Max: Not really. Things are just complicated at the moment.
Isabel is at Alex's grave and Alex's ghost form appears.
Alex: I didn't expect to find you here.
Isabel: Alex hey, you startled me.
Alex: Sorry. So what are you doing here?
Isabel: In all honesty, I don't know.
Alex: Of coarse you know. Otherwise, why would you have come?
Isabel: I guess to hide from reality. I keep thinking that coming back to Earth was a bad idea after all. When Michael and I were up in those stars, we became more than just friends, we really connected. But now that we're back on Earth, its' like everything we had up there was just a dream. I don't expect you to understand any of this.
Alex: No I understand, really I do. Isabel, I want you to have a life, I want you to be happy, and I want you to find love. Don't let me be the reason for stopping you. It's time to let go of the past and embrace your future.
Isabel: Where did that come from?
Alex: Okay so I've been hanging around Kyle's mind too much but he has a point. Live your life Isabel, its what I want you to do. Isabel looks at Alex for a moment and then just smiles. Alex smiles too.
Michael's Apartment
Michael and Maria are talking.
Maria: So which movie do you want to watch? Pearl Harbor or Titanic? I prefer Pearl Harbor since this soldier goes off to war and then his girl waits for him and wonders if he's ever coming back.
Michael: Maria, can you forget the movie? I really need to talk to you.
Maria: Okay, about what?
Michael: About why I went to another planet.
Maria: Michael, you went to go save Isabel, what's the big deal?
Michael: There's more to it than that. When I was up there on Antar and I saw Isabel in that prison cell, my only thought was why didn't I go with her in the first place? The next thing I knew my emotions were running so high and before I knew it I kissed her.
Maria: Wait, you kissed Isabel?! Michael how could you?
Michael: I don't know okay? Lately its felt like things inside of me are changing, things that I can't explain.
Maria: Do you love her?
Michael: I don't have to answer that.
Maria: You just did. Maria starts heading towards the door.
Michael: Maria, somehow you and I have both known this day would come but we both tried so hard to bury it and pretend that it didn't exist; well we have to face it now.
Maria: No, you have to face it. I don't. Maria leaves and slams the door.
Michael: Great, just great.
Evans Home
Michael knocks on the door and Diane answers it.
Michael: Hi Mrs. Evans.
Diane: Michael, hi. Come on in, I'll go get Max.
Michael: Actually, I need to talk to Isabel.
Diane: Oh okay. Diane goes to the staircase and calls for Isabel. Isabel, can you come down here for a minute? Isabel comes down and notices Michael.
Isabel: Mom, could you give us a second? Diane looks at Michael and then at Isabel.
Diane: Sure. I'll just be upstairs if you need me. Diane goes upstairs.
Isabel: What are you doing here Michael?
Michael: I was hoping we could talk.
Isabel: That's not possible.
Michael: Isabel...
Isabel: Michael, what you and I had up there, it was nothing more than a fling okay? It meant nothing.
Michael: I don't by that. It did mean something to you. I know it did. It meant something to me too.
Isabel: Did it? Or did you just decide one morning that you would go along with this whole destiny thing because you and I have been so afraid to face it for so long?
Michael: Come on Isabel, you know me better than that.
Isabel: Do I? One minute you're my brother and the next we both wake up and start having the same dream about being together and having a family. Which one is real Michael? I don't know anymore. Michael goes up to Isabel and gives her a deep and passionate kiss.
Michael: That's for you to decide. If I were your brother then I wouldn't have just done that. I don't want this to be a fling; I want it to be more than that.
Isabel: What about Maria?
Michael: I told her the truth. She didn't accept it but she'll get over it eventually. Just give me a chance. Please Isabel? I lost you a long time ago and I don't want to loose you again.
Isabel: You should let this side of you out more often.
Michael: I don't think so; after all I'm a big, bad warrior. So what do you say Isabel? Take me as your boyfriend? And who knows maybe in the future we can both have that family that we've dreamed about. Isabel and Michael smile and then Isabel kisses Michael passonately.
