A Tale Of Two Planets
This starts a year after A.S.U.T
Part 1
Liz stood looking in the mirror in a crisp white peasant wedding dress, the bodice had glittery sequins, with a long train, her hair was in ringlets and she wore a silver tiara. She thought back to the time when she saw and bought her dream wedding dress.
Flashback Diane, Isabel, Maria and Serena had dragged Liz to every wedding dress store they could find. Liz stood back and let them pick what they thought looked nice. Truth be told Liz wasn't keen on any of the dresses that had been chosen for her. Liz wandered around looking a bundle of dresses hanging up on the rack. She didn't know what her dream dress should look like but she would know it when she saw it. She wished her mother would come but she knew that her father had tried every way imaginable way to keep Liz and Katie from having any contact with him and Nancy. To make things worse Jeff Parker had thrown her and Katie out of the house and she now lived with Katie at the Evan's. *I just wish he would come to terms with the fact that I am an alien and getting married to my former husband who I was married in my past life. Okay Liz now concrete on finding your dream dress.* She was just about to move onto the next row of dresses when she saw one hanging up. It was a peasant style dress with sliver sequins on the bodice it had a long train, with sleeves. She had a look to see what size it was and to her luck it was the only one in her size and it was the only one in that style. She grabbed it and showed it to the women and they nodded their heads and she went to try it on. The moment she stepped out of the changing room there was a gasp from everyone.
"Oh my god Lizzie that looks wonderful," Maria commented.
"My my my, you are going to blow Max's socks off when he sees you," Diane commented too.
"Max won't know what hit him," Isabel said and went over to hug her.
"You look like a queen, Liz," Serena piped up.
Liz smiled at herself in the mirror. I have found my dream wedding dress.
Liz came out of her thoughts and turned to the window, she saw lots of guests coming into the house. She and Max had decided to get married in the Evans' big garden. It was summertime, so it would be pretty.
*I have almost everything I want, a man who is my soul mate and will be my husband, a beautiful daughter, my friends around me but why do I feel sad.* Liz's face grew sadder. *My parents, why can't my father accept Max and I? I know that my mother has. I know she loves me, but I not sure about my father.* A knock on the door brought Liz out of her thoughts. "Come in" Liz called.
"Hey sweetie, how's it going?" Diane asked her almost daughter in law. My god hunny you look absolutely beautiful"
"I am okay. Thank you Diane." Liz tried to smile happily.
"Liz, hunny I know for a fact you are not 'cause Max is getting worried about you."
"Oh God, I forgot he can read my feelings," Liz realised.
"Yes he can and he is going crazy downstairs, he almost barged his way up here but I cornered him off and told him I'd find out what's wrong. Michael and Philip are trying to keep him clam, now are you going to tell me what's bothering you"? Diane explained.
"It's my parents. As a child I always thought they would be here, my mother crying, my father telling me how beautiful I am and giving me away at the altar to Max. I feel as though I have lost their love," Liz confided to Diane
"Oh hunny, I am so sorry you feel that way." Diane hugged Liz.

Nancy came down the stairs all ready for her daughter's wedding, she didn't care that Jeff didn't want her to go she wasn't going to miss this just because her husband was being unkind. She couldn't understand what was wrong with him. "Jeff I am going to Liz and Max's wedding, with or without you."
"No you are not Nancy."
"Yes I am, you can't tell me what to do. I am going to at least let Liz know that one parent loves her," Nancy argued.
"Nanc, please. It's better this way." Jeff tired to reason with his wife.
"Better for who, you?" Nancy shouted then spoke calmly. "Jeff we have been arguing for a year about this and if you can't accept Liz and Max then I can't be married to you any more.
"Nanc, what are you saying"? Jeff asked, stunned that his wife could suggest such a thing.
"I am saying; Jeff, I love you, but the way you have been treating Liz and Max breaks my heart and it sickens me. Its either you accept Max and Liz, or our marriage is over.
++++++++++++
"Well I better go and see what Max is up to. I'll see you down there," Diane smiled
"Diane, thank you. Can you send Alex up please. I need my brother for a moment".
"Of course I will." Diane smiled and closed the door.
Alex opened and stuck his head around the door. "Oh My god Lizzie you look like a princess. You wanted to see me kiddo?"
Liz turned and faced Alex, her brother and her best friend. "thanks Alex, I feel like one. Yes I did, come in. Alex, do you have the necklace that belonged to our real mother?"
"Yes, I do here it is." Alex pulled the chain out from his jacket pocket and put it on for Liz.
"Thanks for keeping it for me"
"No problem Liz," Alex hugged his sister. "I can't believe my baby sister is getting married again."
+++++++++
"Nancy, you can't mean that?" Jeff asked astonished.
Nancy turned around and looked sadly at her husband. " Yes Jeff I mean it. This past year we have been arguing an awful lot and I cannot stop loving Liz. She is my daughter and I won't abandon her, just because you can't accept that she is different and not our blood child. It wasn't my fault that we couldn't have a child. You have treated Liz like she was something you could own and she would do what you want her to do, like go to Harvard. You have never asked Liz what she wanted to do in life, yes there was a time when she wanted to go to Harvard but now she has got responsibilities and a different life to what we wanted for her, but she is happy and I want to be there when she pledges her love to Max."
"Nancy please don't do this," Jeff pleaded to his wife. Nancy just shook her head and left for the Evans' house on foot. Jeff followed his wife and watched her walking to where the wedding was going to take place.
It was only a short walk and Nancy knew it well. So well, that she found herself concentrating on the words she had spoken to her husband, instead of the road. The sound of an engine behind her made her turn to look, but it was too late. Jeff could do nothing but watch as a car sped onto the pavement, throwing Nancy to the floor before speeding off.
