I noticed that some of you noticed that my story had been taken off, it was due to my lack of putting up the rating and I apologise to the mod for not putting up my rating.
I have put my story up on another site
You can find it there if you want to read the higher rating of the story and if you want to read other Roswell Stories.
Hey guys, thanks for the reviews on the last chapter and I know most of you are wondering if Max and Liz did take the next level but I wanted to let you know that will be revealed later on so you just have to wait. Hope you like this chapter.
Chapter 8: Copper Summit and Lilly.
"Damn it!" Maria snapped as she slammed the cloth down on the counter causing Liz to look up at her, concerned. It was the next morning after Tess had apologised to Liz for being such a bitch toward her.
"What is it?" Liz asked.
"My jerk of a cousin has just walked in from Juvie." Maria muttered as she watched a young man of twenty walked in the Crashdown and made his way over to the two girls. He had light brown hair and deep blue eyes.
"Hey M, How's it going?" He asked.
"What did you do? Break out of jail?" Maria demanded.
"Got out on good behaviour." He replied and Maria rolled her eyes.
"The world is coming to an end." She muttered while the man turned to Liz.
"Hey, I'm Sean Deluca. Maria's cousin." Sean introduced himself. Liz nodded once, not giving him anything. "Who are you?"
"Her name is Liz and she's taken." Maria jumped in, defending her friend from her oversexed cousin.
Liz turned to face Sean and a bright smile adored her face. Sean just smiled back, he was about to lean in to kiss her when she suddenly stepped sided him, and stepped into Max's arms.
"I missed you." Liz whispered as Max leaned down and took Liz's lips into his. She moaned slightly at the contact as she wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing their bodies together, enjoying the feelings.
Sean stood to the side, simmering in rage as he watched them while Maria smirked happily at her once play boy cousin.
"Told ya she was taken." Maria drawled out happily before heading off to one of the tables to collect the couple's order.
"Are you okay?" Max asked and Liz smiled up into his face.
"I'm fine Max, stop worrying." Liz teased and Max smiled down into her face and kissed her gently.
"I have to get to work, we have a meeting first thing tomorrow before school in the Computing classroom." Max stated and Liz nodded as she kissed him once more before letting him go.
Maria walked up to Liz and rolled her eyes.
"Romeo and Juliet, take three." Maria teased and Liz laughed as she, gently, bumped hips with Maria before heading toward the counter to get an order. Sean watched the scene with interest, keeping his eyes on Liz.

The group was meeting in the classroom and was waiting for Liz to show up, when she arrived, she looked at the group.
"Does anyone know where's Courtney disappeared to?" Liz asked and everyone shrugged, obviously not knowing the answer.
"If Courtney's a skin, it means she was working with Whitaker." Tess stated and Isabel nodded in agreement.
"You're right. There's no way two skins would just happen to be in Roswell at the same time. They were working together, which means Courtney knows everything about us." Isabel stated and Liz shook her head.
"I told you, she is a Rath follower, god don't you listen. It means they wanted Rath to be the king, they are not interested in killing off any of us." Liz explained.
"Look, if there are other skins that were was working with Whitaker, the first question is, does they know that Whitaker's dead?" Max asked.
"If they didn't before, they do now." Maria stated as she turned up the volume on the T.V and everyone watched it.
'We have this story just in. A controversial New Mexico congresswoman is dead. We'll have that story in just a minute. Widowed just 6 months before her husband John Whitaker's upcoming election, she took his place on the ballot and won the election by a higher margin than any Democrat in 15 years. But all that ended yesterday, just outside her hometown of Copper Summit, Arizona, where a tragic single-car accident cut short a life of public service.'
"Car crash?" Liz demanded.
'In other national news, the Department of Transportation took...'
"She died 2 weeks ago. I was one the who killed her!" Liz snapped.
"We were all there." Max added in as he took Liz into his arms and comforted her.
"How could she be in a car accident if she's dust?" Michael asked.
"So who's conveniently covering up her death for us?" Alex asked.
"Naseco said the skins were among us. Skins, plural. Maybe other skins created a fake car accident to keep the Feds from looking too closely into Whitaker's background." Isabel suggested and Liz nodded slightly.
"Max...what do we do?" Maria asked as they all looked toward Max who was resting his chin on top of Liz's head.
"Uh, let me guess. Nothing." Michael replied smartly
"Liz." Max stated as he looked at Liz, she sighed and nodded.

Liz is answered the phone and nodded into the phone.
"Yeah, we...we're in total shock. No, we haven't set a date for the memorial service yet. Yes, I will let you know as soon as we do. Of course. Ok." Liz stated and hung up the phone. "The phone's been ringing off the hook for the past hour.
"Somebody covered up Whitaker's death." Max stated.
"Why?" Liz asked, confused. She just didn't see the logic in covering up someone death when he or she could go to the police and report that she was missing.
"Has anybody been asking questions over the past few days?" Max asked and Liz shook her head.
"People have been calling. I just have been saying that she's on vacation, just like we said." Liz stated and Max nodded, still confused. He walked over behind Liz, wrapped his arms around her waist, and looked at everyone one else.
"Well, somehow the skins know that she's dead. None of us has said anything." Max pointed out and Tess picked up a letter.
"Look at this. The postmark says Copper Summit. It's from something called the Universal Friendship League." Tess informed as she handed the letter to Max.
"Never heard of it." Liz stated with a shrug.
"What the hell is the Universal Friendship League? Could it sound any creepier?" Isabel demanded.
"Marked "personal"." Tess pointed out.
Max opens the envelope and reads the letter aloud as he and Liz read it.
""Dear member: Your failure to report as scheduled violates protocol. We must receive word by the 25th of this month or terminate your membership, effective that date."" Max read out and Liz noticed it straight away.
"The 25th was yesterday." Liz stated.
"That's when they say she died." Tess pointed out and Liz nodded in agreement.
"So maybe, if you don't give word, they know that you are dead and immediately go around cleaning it up and making it look like she died in a car crash to stop people from getting suspicious?" Liz suggested and Tess nodded.
"That sounds right." Tess agreed before looking at Max. "Who is it from?"
""Sincerely, T. Greer, senior coordinator, Vilandra project."" Max stated out and he looked at Liz with wide eyes.
"Vilandra?" Isabel stated.
"Oh my god." Liz whispered and Max nodded.
"What?" Tess asked.
"Vilandra is Isabel's past name." Liz informed her before looking at Isabel.
"We should call." Isabel stated and Liz nodded as she took the letter, picked up the phone and dialled the number.
"Yes?" a male voice asked.
"Hi, um, is this the...the Universal Friendship League?" Liz asked.
"Who is this?" The voice demanded.
"I...I'm calling from Congresswoman Vanessa Whitaker's office. We just, um, opened this letter this morning and. I wanted to call and apologize for not responding sooner." Liz stated.
"Yes?" he asked.
"We just wanted to let you know that, unfortunately, Congresswoman has passed away." Liz informed the guy.
"Thank you for calling." He stated before hanging up, leaving Liz looking at the phone.
"They just hung up." Liz informed them, confused and irritated.
"We're going to Arizona." Max stated and Michael objected.
"Hey, I'm not going anywhere until I find..." Michael started.
"Courtney. That's right, you're staying." Max stated and Michael nodded.
"So we agree." Michael stated and Max nodded.
"Yeah." Max agreed and Isabel rolled her eyes.
"There's a first." She muttered to herself, causing Liz and Tess to grin at each other, amused.
"Tess you are coming with us, this way most of us are protected." Max stated and Tess nodded as they all made their way to their places.
Max, Isabel, Tess, and Liz are in the jeep on their way to Arizona. Max is sitting in the back with Liz, Liz had rested her head on his shoulder and had fallen asleep with Max looking at her, stroking her hair back while Tess was driving and Isabel was shifting restless in her seat.
"Liz, wake up." Max whispered as he kissed her forehead. "We're here."
Liz mumbled as she turned her face deeper into Max's chest, causing Tess and Isabel to smile at each other amused. The two of them had come a long way to be friends due to how Tess had treated Liz.
"Come on." Tess called out as she shook Liz's shoulder before getting out of the jeep.
I'm up, I'm up." Liz muttered as Max smoothed her hair away from her face before kissing her slightly and getting out of the jeep themselves.
All four of them exited the jeep and headed up to the mailman.
"Excuse me, is this the Crawford's?" Max asked and the mailman nodded as he points to the house. "Thanks." Max stated before turning to Liz. "You're on." Liz sighed and pasted on a fake happy smile, causing amused looks from Isabel and Tess.
"Ms. Crawford?" Liz asked and the lady nodded. "Hi, I'm Liz Parker. Vanessa's assistant. We talked on the phone?"
"Oh, sure. Liz Parker." Ida stated with a nod.
"I'm really sorry to hear what happened to your daughter. It's so terrible." Liz stated.
"Oh, thank you, dear. What are you doing here?" Ida asked.
"Oh, um, I just wanted to drop off some of your daughter's personal effects." Liz explained. "Oh, honey, that is so sweet. Well, you didn't have to come clear up here. My gosh, it must be 400 miles! Walt! Visitors! Did you kids work for Vanessa?" Ida asked.
"No, not exactly." Isabel stated.
"This is my boyfriend Max, his sister, Isabel and our friend Tess." Liz introduced and Ida nodded as Walt exited the house.
"Walt..."
"Hmm?" Walt asked.
"These young people drove all the way up here to bring home some of Vanessa's things." Ida stated with pride in her voice.
"Why didn't they just send them?" Walt asked and Ida slapped him across the chest.
"What a thing to say! After they went to all that trouble. You must be so tired and hungry after that long drive. Come on in the house. I want to make you something to eat." Ida stated, the girls turned to Max and he nodded. Liz, Tess, and Isabel enter the house. Walt comments to Max as he's entering
"I guess you're the man in charge." Walt observed. Max just smiled slightly as Walt entered the house, leaving Max looking at his back with a guarded look.
Inside the Crawford Residence. Ida walked about, giving them glasses of juices and placing plates of snacks on the table.
Max and Liz were sitting on the couch together; they were holding hands while Isabel was looking around the house. Tess was sitting in the chair, next to Max and Liz.
"Walt, did you hear that?" Ida asked.
"Hmmm." Walt asked.
"They came all this way for her service." Ida snapped, irritated with her husband.
"Huh." Was all Walt stated.
"Well, we felt like...like we should come. You know, the congresswoman, she was very...she was special...to all of us." Liz stated.
"Like a mother." Isabel jumped in, backing Liz up.
"Really?" Ida asked, with pride and happiness in her voice. Isabel noticed a boy who is peeking in at them.
"Hi." Isabel greeted the boy.
"Nicholas, there you are! Come on in here. Come on, say hello." Ida stated and Nicholas shook his head, shyly.
"No, ma'am." Nicholas stated before hurrying off.
"Nicholas!" Walt shouted but got no answer.
"He took it real hard. He and his sister were very close." Ida informed and Liz shifted slightly in her seat, alerting Max.
"Maybe we'd better just find a hotel." Max suggested.
"There ain't but one." Walt informed them gruffly.
"All four of you? At that old Motor Inn? I won't hear of it! You're all gonna spend the night here, and then tomorrow we can go to the memorial service together." Ida stated, appalled at the idea of them spending the night at the inn.
"Are you sure?" Liz asked.
"If Vanessa was like your mother, we're like your grandparents. We'll treat you just the way Vanessa would have wanted. Well, ok, let's eat up, there!" Ida stated and the gang smiled slightly.
"Get you one of those crispy treats there." Walt stated as he picked up one of the snacks.
"So, how long have you two been together?" Ida asked, looking at Max and Liz.
Max and Liz looked at each other before turning back.
"We, er, met each other last April, we didn't get together till the middle of the summer." Liz informed them.
"Why not, it's obvious that the two of you are in love, so you must have been in love when you met each other." Ida stated and Liz smiled shyly.
"Thank you but there were complications at the beginning, we needed to make sure that everything was right before we got together." Liz explained.

Michael and Maria are staking out the building across the street from Michael's apartment.
"This isn't gonna work. She's not just gonna stroll up to her hideout while we're sitting here watching her." Maria stated, annoyed.
"This was your idea." Michael reminded her.
"That's not the way I remember it." Maria shot at him.
"Ok, so now it's my fault." Michael demanded.
"Yes. You know what? Just to make things simpler, from now on you should consider everything to be your fault, ok. Ok." Maria snapped.
"Well, I know one way to make the time go faster." Michael snapped back and Maria glared at him.
"Oh, funny." She snapped. "But if we can talk reality here for a second, I think she booked.
Out of town."
"No dice. She wouldn't do that. She's obsessed with me." Michael replied, smugly.
"Well, I guess that makes 2 of you, then, doesn't it." Maria remarked, bitterly.
"She'll show up sooner or later." Michael stated, confidently.
"How 'bout sooner?" a female voice asked from behind them. Michael and Maria turn around to see Courtney in front of them. Michael immediately goes into his energy blast pose when Courtney threw up her hand. "Whoa! Hey, truce."
"Don't move." Michael warned.
"Don't worry. I won't. You're watching the building. You figured out where I'd be from the pictures. That's very good, Mikey G. You're everything I thought you'd be and more." Courtney admired, praising him.
"Oh, please! Do your lips not get chapped from all the ass-kissing?" Maria snapped.
"Sit down." Michael ordered.
"Anything you say." Courtney stated, obeying his orders and sat down.
"So you're a skin, like Whitaker." Michael asked.
"How'd you get on to Whitaker?" Courtney asked with a puzzled look.
"We're asking the questions here, ok. Now, why are you in Roswell? Where's the rest of your evil army? And most of all, why are you obsessed with my good-looking, if badly groomed boyfriend?" Maria demanded, blurting out all the questions at rapid speed, not waiting for an answer for one of them.
"I'm not obsessed with him, ok. I follow him in the...political sense." Courtney explained.
"Our leader?" Maria asked.
"We're not with the other skins. We're renegades who believe that if you were in charge instead of Max in the first place, that none of this would have ever happened." Courtney explained; frustration from what happened in the past was filling her up again.
"What are you talking about? In charge of what?" Michael asked.
"Our planet, Michael. You don't remember any of this, do you?" Courtney asked.
"Suppose you tell me." Michael stated.
"Yeah, the short version, please." Maria added in.
"The short version...is that our planet was on the brink of a golden age, and then it all fell apart. You were the one who could have united our planet, pulled together the warring factions, brought peace. But you weren't on the throne." Courtney told them.
"Max." Michael stated with understanding dawning on him.
"You wouldn't betray him. That loyalty cost your lives and those of everyone you loved. Please, just don't let history repeat itself. You're the one we need. You're our leader, our salvation." Courtney pleaded.
"Michael, if you can hear me now over the sound of your rapidly inflating ego, could you please tell me that you do not believe what this...this Michael-worshipper here has to say?" Maria snapped.
"No... No... No way. No, this is just part of your plan to divide and conquer." Michael rushed out and Courtney sighed before shaking her head.
"I knew you weren't ready to hear this." She admitted to herself.
"What's in Copper Summit, Arizona?" Michael demanded.
"Copper Summit's just some old tourist trap." Courtney lied but they saw right through it.
"What's there?" Michael asked once more.
"I'd stay away from there." Courtney stated and Maria rolled her eyes,
"Why?" Maria asked,
"Let's just say there aren't any Michael-worshippers in Copper Summit." Was all Courtney said, causing Michael and Maria to look at each other, stunned.

Tess is looking at an old picture of Vanessa Whitaker when Mrs. Crawford surprises her.
"Penny for your thoughts." Ida asked, startling Tess, causing her to nearly drop the photo.
"Oh, sorry." Tess hurried out.
"Oh, it's all right." Ida soothed.
"You must have been very proud of her." Tess whispered and Ida smiled brightly.
"Very." Ida agreed.
"Tell me about her. What was she like when she was my age?" Tess asked as she put the photo down and faced the older woman.
"Oh, she was wonderful. Wonderful." Ida stated then went on to tell Tess the whole story of Vanessa.
Isabel is organizing her stuff in a room when Nicholas stops by and peeks in.
"Oh, Nicholas. Come in. I don't bite." Isabel soothed.
"This used to be her room." Nicholas explained and Isabel nodded.
"I'm so sorry about your sister." She explained and Nicholas nodded.
"I was gonna visit her in Washington next year. We were gonna spend 3 days just at the Air and Space Museum." Nicholas explained with a sad expression on her face.
"Did you get a lot of time with her, growing up?" Isabel asked, curious and Nicholas nodded.
"When she'd visit, she'd make time. She always told me there's this whole wide world out there. She didn't want me stuck in Copper Summit for the rest of my life. She used to tell me stories about this planet in another galaxy, how there was this war going on, like a revolution." Nicholas stated and Isabel looked at him, stunned but hid it.
"True stories?" Isabel asked and Nicholas cocked his head slightly to the side, regarding her with a puzzled expression.
"How could they be true?" Nicholas asked.
"Did she ever mention Vilandra?" Isabel asked and Nicholas's eyes widen in shock.
"How do you know about Vilandra?" Nicholas demanded.
"Vanessa told me some stories, too." Isabel stated, they both looked at each other for a while when Tess came bursting in.
"I have to go." Nicholas stated as he left and Tess sat down on the bed, telling Isabel everything she found out.
"Liz?" Max asked as he popped his head round the door and found her straightening the toys that was on the bed, she turned around and smiled at him.
"Hey." Liz greeted as she walked over and kissed him. "What's wrong?"
"What are you feeling from them?" Max asked as he leaded her over to the bed; he had noticed that she seemed jumpy throughout dinner.
"That's the problem." Liz stated. "I don't, it's the same with Whitaker." Liz looked around the door making sure there were no eavesdroppers before shutting the door and turning the music on lightly to mask their voices.
"What can you tell me about the Skins that Naseco has told you?" Max asked and Liz racked her brain.
"He never told me a lot about them, I think he was saving it till we actually came to fight with them but he said they can't handle high heat too well and that they have this thing called a harvest which happened every fifty years." Liz stated. "Their bodies are just a husk as they can't handle the pollution Earth has, it's the same with our planet and they are emotionless."
"So…" Max started and Liz shook her head.
"Max, there could be hundred of reasons why they don't have any feelings, they could be feeling numb, I mean, they did lose their daughter. I remember how I felt when I lost my mom and dad, I couldn't feel anything." Liz stated and Max looked at her. He knew that she was trying to convince herself that these people are humans, not aliens who want to kill them to take over the planet.

"Why are the skins wanting to kill the Royal?" Maria asked, she, Michael and Courtney were in the Jetta, heading toward Copper Summit.
"Because Khiva wants the Throne, as Max is alive, he can take the throne back." Courtney explained and Maria arched an eyebrow.
"You know; Liz told you not to blame Max for the mistakes, she died and that what caused Max to make the mistakes." Maria stated, getting defensive of her friend.
"He shouldn't have forced the choices in the first place. Michael was supposed to be the leader." Courtney snapped and something rang in Michael's head.
But you need to be careful; those followers want Rath, not you Michael. Ever since you can't really remember your past, you have no idea what to expect from them or what they expect from you.
"I don't believe that I would have been a better leader than Max was." Michael jumped in and Courtney looked at him in disbelief while Maria sighed.
"Amen to that." She muttered under her breath.
"Are you kidding?" Courtney demanded, "You were in more control than Max ever was."
"He had just lost his wife!" Michael exclaimed and Courtney shook her head.
"No excuses at all. He shouldn't have forced the war!" Courtney snapped before turning to look out of the window, leaving Michael and Maria wondering what her problem to Max was.

Max, Liz, Isabel and Tess were standing in the door way of the funeral home, looking into the building, everyone was paired up into couples and paying their respects to the casket while a picture of Whitaker stood to the side.
Isabel notices Nicholas hanging out at the doorway, staring at her.
"I'll be back." Isabel stated to them before walking off.
"Isabel." Max warned but she took no noticed as she followed Nicholas to the back of the Stagecoach Museum. In the back, there is a row of bodies in glass chambers. They look exactly like the people at the UFL.
"Nicholas?" Isabel asked; he stood in front of her with a smirk.
"Hi." He stated.
"Oh, God, Nicholas." She gasped out; Nicholas cocked his head to the side and smirked once more.
"I'm glad that you're here." Nicholas motions with his hand and an invisible blast knocks out Isabel.
"Unnh!" Isabel gasped out as her back hit the wall before slumping to the ground; face forward. Isabel woke up. She looked around and saw two rows of cultivating husks,
"Hello, Vilandra. It's been a long time." Nicholas greeted, causing her to look at him in fear.
XXXX
"Let's have a look." Max stated as he guided Liz and Tess toward the casket; the couple in front of them moved and they gasped when they saw the body.
"Good looking pile of dust." Tess remarked as Liz leaned over and touched the hand. Her fingers went through the hand, freaking everyone out as she hurried up and rearranged the flowers to cover Whitaker's hand.
They all took a step back from the Casket and moved toward the door, only to find that the whole building of people were peeling their skins off.
"Damn, it was a trap." Max hissed out.
"And we walked right into it." Liz added in as they moved closer to the door.
"Leaving so soon?" Greer asked as the front doors close suddenly. Greer motions with his hand and Max, Tess, and Liz crumple to the ground. "You mustn't be in such a hurry to leave us. It appears our long search for the royal four has finally ended. How convenient of you to deliver yourselves to us."
Liz got back up and brushed herself off before helping the others up, she gasped before closing her eyes.
"I'm so fed up with this godforsaken town!" she hissed.
"Who are you?" Greer demanded as he took a step back from Liz.
"Who do you think?" Liz asked as her eyes opened, showing her eyes were completely pitched black. She lifted a hand up, waved it, sending the skins flying backward.
"Lilly!" Greer croaked out through the pain, Lilly's head tilted slightly, her smiled turning evil.
"Liz?" Max asked as he took a step toward her but Tess grabbed his arm, stopping her.
"I think it's Lilly, look at her eyes." Tess whispered and Max looked at Liz's eyes, gone were the warm brown chocolate pools; were empty black eyes.
"You're dead!" Greer shouted as he got up. "Khiva had you killed before the pods were even designed!"
Max lost it and started toward Greer with a possessive growl that caused Greer to blanch in fear when he saw this, he didn't see Max Evans, the clueless alien, he saw Zan; the rightful king protecting what was his. Lilly held out a hand, preventing Max from going any further as she looked at Greer with a smirk.
"Actually the pods were designed and built by the time I died. I had a vision of something happening to me so I encouraged the builders to finish with their designs and start building on it." Lilly smirked then drove in for the kill. "As good as your spy was, she was pretty pathetic when it came to following me."
"You bitch!" Ida snapped as she threw a blast at them but Max threw up his hand and a green shield came out, enveloping the trio.

Back at the husk facility.
"It's taken 20 years, nursing them from spores to maturity. Now, they're almost ready to harvest. Don't worry. You're safe here with us, Vilandra." Nicholas soothed and Isabel shook her head.
"My name...is Isabel." She gritted out between her teeth and Nicholas looked at her,
"For the moment. But when I looked into your eyes, it was Vilandra who looked back." Nicholas stated and Isabel shook her head.
"No." she denied.
"Your destiny is with us. With Khivar. He's waiting to hear that we've found you."
"I don't even know..." Isabel started but Nicholas jumped in
"Who the hell Khivar is? The royal four. If only the people could see you now. Clueless teenagers groping for their own identities. You'd lose some of that legendary aura that's sprung up over the years."
"What do you want?" Isabel demanded.
"It's what you want." Nicholas shot back. "You just can't remember. I'm here to take you back to him, Vilandra. The leader of the rebellion. The man who currently sits on your brother's tarnished throne. The man for whom you sacrificed a kingdom. Your lover, Khivar."
"No." Isabel protested. Nicholas motions with his hand and Isabel drops to the ground again.
"Unnh!"
"You're not going anywhere. You know, on our world, I was considered to be something of a ladies man. I even remember you giving me the eye now and again. However, after spending 50 years as a teenage misfit, having all the women laugh at me, I've grown far less tolerant of the female sex. Where's the granilith?" Nicholas demanded.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Isabel snapped back and Nicholas sighed.
"Wrong answer." Nicholas snapped as he raised his hand once more only to be blasted himself, he looked up and paled when he saw Lilly standing there.
"Wrong move." Lilly stated.
XXXX
"Let the shield down." Lilly ordered Max, he looked at her.
"Are you mad?" he demanded and she nodded.
"Oh, I'm mad alright." She hissed out, Max dropped the shield only fro Lilly to bring her hands up and a bright light burst out of her hands, enveloping the skins. "Come on, Isabel is in trouble." She dragged them out of the building and hurried over to the Husk Chamber.
"What did you do to them?" Tess asked.
"Blinded them at the moment." Lilly explained as she hurried into the chamber and blasted Nicholas away.
"You are dead." Nicholas gasped out and Lilly rolled her eyes.
"Seem to be hearing that a lot today." Lilly muttered. "Love to stay and chat, but I have husks and skins to kill." With that, she lifted up a pipe and hit the fuse that was keeping the skins alive before helping Isabel to her feet and getting her out of the building as Nicholas screamed.
Michael, Maria and Courtney turned up.
"Hey guys, late as usual." Lilly muttered as she handed Isabel to Max, before turning to the building and lifting a hand.
"Say good night." Lilly muttered as the building blew up. Michael hurried into the husk chamber and came out, carrying a covered body and putting into the back of the Jetta.
"What the hell was that?" Maria demanded.
"Lets go!" Michael called out, refusing to answer Maria's question. Lilly's body slumped to the ground as Tess and Isabel got in the jeep. Michael, Maria and Courtney got in the Jetta.
"Liz!" Max gasped as he lifted Liz up into his arms and hurried over to the back of the jeep. Once the door closed, the two transports rushed out of the town, back to Roswell.
The skins that had survived the blast came out of the building, led by Greer, made their way to the blown up husk cultivating facility.
"Huh...the husks?" Greer asked as Nicholas came out; he shook his head.
"Destroyed." Nicholas stated and Greer shook his head.
"Well, that's the end of it, then. We're all as good as dead." Greer muttered and Nicholas shook his head.
"We may be as good as dead, but this is not the end." Nicholas promised as they all stared, solemnly in the blown up Stagecoach Museum.

"Liz, are you okay?" Max asked, Liz opened her eyes and looked around, dazed and confused about where she was, she looked up and met Max's eyes.
"Max?" Liz asked hoarsely, her voice sore. Max let out a relief sigh as he bent down and kissed her forehead.
"Oh baby." He whispered, sending a thank you to whoever was watching her from above. "You're okay baby, I swear." He promise.
"What happened?" Liz asked.
"I'll tell you everything when we get home, you get some sleep." Max promised and Liz nodded before closing her eyes and resting her head on Max's chest as they all made their way home back to Roswell.

Thanks for the reviews on the last chapter; I'm glad that you liked it and the fact that Max and Liz had gotten their own back on Tess.
Coming up soon: The gang has a break from all the weirdness. Max, Liz, Michael and Maria go on a double date and the convention is added in this chapter too.
Yes, it's mostly the first season in this chapter but changes to both epics. See you all soon. Leave reviews, I wanna know what you thought for this chapter. BTW, the convention happened in the first season, this is not the same one except I have changed a few details. No Hubble.
