"It's already 10am, where did I put those darn booths of mine?" Maria says to herself searching through her closet. Finally finding them, she puts them on, grabs her handbag, and gets ready to head out the door. She meets Michael at the doorway.
"Good morning" says Michael. He smiles and gives her his usual morning kiss. "Where are you headed?" He asks. "I'm going to the Summer Festival." She answers. "Do you want to come?" She asks "I would like to, but I think I'll need a few hours rest before I go." Michael replies.
"I'm meeting the rest of the gang there." says Maria, "Everyone that is except Liz and Max." "They won't be there." "Why not?" He inquires. "Well she told me over the phone last night that she and Max made plans to go camping. You know, just the two of them." Maria answers with a lighthearted giggle. "I think it's about time those two got some time to themselves." Michael replies. "It'll probably do them some good." He kisses her goodbye, and promises to meet her later on.
Maria heads out the door. She drives to the U.F.O Center, and parks her car there. Getting out, she sees Isabel and Alex an waves at them.
"Hi Maria." says Isabel. "Hi"says Maria. "Where's Michael?" ask Isabel. "At home sleeping." replies Maria. "He'll meet us here later." She added. Kyle and Tess finally show up. The gang talks among themselves laughing and carrying on as the noise of the crowd and the aroma of cotton candy, hotdogs, and sounds of music fill the air. Kids playing and parents joining in the events. Tess and Kyle find themselves near a consesson stand selling funnel cakes.
"You want one?" Kyle asks. "Sure. says Tess, "Make mine with strawberry syrup and extra powder sugar." She added. He buys a strawberry one for her, and a regular one covered with extra cinnamon and powder sugar. He hands Tess's cake over to her. Finding a bench nearby, they sat down and enjoyed their sweet treats.
"So...., have you decided where we're going to tie the knot?" ask Tess as she tears into her funnel cake and slowly enjoys every morsal of the hot item. he looks up and ask her, "What would you think about the idea of having the ceramony outdoors?" Kyle ask. "That would be great." Tess answers. "Have you found a suitable place?" she ask. "Yea" he replies, "The Roswell Rose Gardens." "There's a beautiful clearing among the the different groups of flowers that would make a nice spot for the wedding." he comments.
"I've always enjoyed that place, " She says "but do you think you can make reservations for it at such a short time?" she ask him with a worried look on her face. "It's already been done." He says smiling back at her. "I remembered how much you liked it the last time the two of us were out there." "Why didn't you tell me?' She asks with a surprise look on her face. "Oh I just didn't want to miss that look of surprise on your face." he says gleefully.
"I'm surprise Isabel didn't give you the idea." Tess comments. "No, this was all mine." He answers. "I just thought that with you being an alien and me searching for inner peace, I figured that you wouldn't be comfortable with a regular church ceremony." Before he could say anything else, she gives him a hug, and says, "Thanks" "For what?" He inquires. "Oh...for just being the guy that you are. The one that I fell in love with." She then slowly leans in and kisses him.
Over in another section of the festival, Isabel and Alex are enjoying their hotdogs with the works on it, and sipping on cherry colas.
"Guess what." says Alex. "What." replies Isabel. "Kyle told me he's picked out the place where he wants to get married. "He does plan to get married here in Roswell right?" ask Isabel. "Yeah he does." replies Alex. "He picked out a special place he and Tess had only went to once, but it made such an impression on her, he thought it would be a perfect place for the ceremony." "Did he tell you where?" Isabel ask. "No" says Alex. "He told me he wants to surprise Tess."
They're suddenly interrupted by Michael. "You finally showed up." Isabel laughs. "I'm sorry I couldn't be here sooner." he replies. "I was having trouble with my motorcycle. I didn't want to go anywhere on it without fixing it." "By the way, where is Maria?" he ask them. Isabel looks around. "There she is." she replies. "Over there near the cotton candy stand." "Thanks." says Michael. He leaves them and heads toward Maria.
He sneaks behind her, and places both hands over her eyes. "Guess." says Michael. "My late boyfriend." she replies in an uhappy tone. "Okay ." says Michael. "I can see someone is a little pisted off at me." "You can say that again." Maria replies. "What took you so long?" "My bike." replies Michael. "It was given me some trouble, so I stayed home an extra hour to fix it."
"I'm sorry." Maria sighs . "I'm glad you're being so careful these days." "Tell you what." He replies. "I'll make it up to you tonight." "Don't you have to be at work again tonight?" she asks. "Not this night." He replies with a smile. "One of my co-workers said they would cover my shift tonight for me." "Will your boss mine?" Maria ask. "No." replies Michael. "As long as there is some one else there to cover for me , it will be alright."
"So..."Maria smiles. "I guess this means you won't be rushing off tonight." "Tonight I'm all yours." He tells her with a grin on his face. "I'll keep that in mine." She replies in her best seductive tone. They continue to walk along the paths, sharing a bag of mixed blue and pink cotton candy.
