A/N: This chapter is sort of short and it is not my favorite but I promised that I'd post so here it is!
She Don't Use Jelly
Liz entered the room to see Tom sitting up in bed reading a book
"What happened?" He searched her face looking for some reaction
"Nothing," she said quietly "Hey, I've got a great idea!" She feigned excitement as she looked for her suitcase
"What?" he smiled caught off guard by her sudden change in mood
"Why don't we go to Roswell?" she said breathlessly as she found the suitcase under her bed and pulled it out and put in on top of the bed.
"Really?" he had always been interested in Roswell and the idea of aliens
"Yeah, you know visit some old friends I can give you the tour and teach you all about alien conspiracies, you can see where I grew up it will be fun" she unzipped the bag and began reaching for her clothes.
"You know if you want to visit your sick friend I wouldn't be hurt if you didn't want me coming along,"
"Don't be stupid I want you to see Roswell you're always watching those stupid alien movies,"
"I'd like to meet some of your old friends too," he stated cautiously
"That would be good," she shoved her things into the bag
"When would we go?" he got up from the bed
"Noon," she said quickly
"Oh, I didn't know it was going to be so soon"
"Oh come on you're not doing anything," Liz joked
"Sure!" he exclaimed "Roswell here we come,"
Liz looked at her watch as Tom finished his packing
"So who is driving?" Tom asked as he zipped up his bag
"Actually I'm not sure," Liz said as someone knocked on the door, Liz walked over, opened the door and was immediately met by a memorable face.
"Kyle!" Liz smiled
"Liz, haven't seen you in ages!" He smiled and hugged her
"God, I've missed you" Liz said unable to suppress a giggle, overwhelmed by memories of his ridiculousness.
"Who wouldn't?" he mocked as Isabel stepped past him and into the apartment
"You guys ready?" Isabel asked looking at Tom
"Yeah, just about" Liz smiled happy to know that she could remember the good memories too
"Uh, Tom this is Kyle" Liz motioned at Kyle
"Nice to meet you man," Kyle shook Tom's outstretched hand
"You too," Tom smiled as he lifted his and Liz's bag "Did you call Michelle?" he asked
"Yeah, everything is taken care of,"
"Then lets hit the road," Isabel announced as she and the others stepped out of the room.
They stepped out of the building and into the parking lot where Kyle pointed out a beat up black Camry,
"Nice," Liz stated sarcastically
"Hey, it's a rental!" Kyle smiled as he opened the trunk so Tom could put their bags in it, before they all climbed in and drove away.
"That was fun," Tom groaned mockingly as they stepped off of the plane, he cracked his neck in the hopes that he could shake the aches that came with flying.
"So I guess you guys can drop your stuff at the Crashdown and then..." Isabel trailed off
"What's the Crashdown?" Tom asked as they made their way towards baggage claim
"Liz didn't tell you?" Kyle asked as he reached for Liz's suitcase, Tom shook his head and then looked to Liz
"It's the alien themed restaurant my parents own," Liz stated plainly
"Alien themed?" He raised his eyebrows
"Yeah it's just a gimmick they used to bring in tourists," she shrugged as Tom picked up his own suitcase and they headed for the parking lot
"Cool," Tom smiled surprised to see a whole new side to Liz
They walked through the large parking lot until they reached a familiar vehicle, Liz almost gasped when she saw the Jeep, and Isabel saw her reaction
"I couldn't bring myself to get rid of it," Isabel said sadly as Tom and Kyle placed the luggage in the back, Liz ran her hand along the Jeep as she stepped inside.
"We were going to meet Tess at the Crashdown and figure it out from there," Kyle spoke breaking the trance
"Tess," Liz almost laughed "Is she still living with you guys?" Liz asked Kyle
"No, me and her share an apartment near the community college, we're both taking classes there and there wasn't enough room back home so it made sense," he explained as he climbed into the passenger seat next to Isabel, she started the car and they drove towards town.
