Chapter 9: Double Date and Convention.

Isabel was wandering around the UFO Centre with a disgusted look on her face, all those little green men and she shuddered when she saw the alien lying on the sliver hospital table with the man covered in white, holding a scalpel. She remembered how scared she was when she thought that Max and Liz had gone through the same thing when they had been captured. She looked around, looking for the culprit who brought her to her own hell on earth and was thinking how she was going to give him a piece of her mind.

Soon she spotted him talking to one of the tourist and walked up to him, she grabbed his arm and pulled him away from the man.

"Why are we here?" Isabel hissed to Michael as they walked around the U.F.O Centre. "It's completely degrading!"

"We need answers and this could be the key to our existence." Michael explained as they met up with Liz who was standing at the bottom of the steps. She was standing there, watching everyone with amusement playing on her face.

"Are you finding this funny?" Isabel asked and Liz smiled.

"Yes, you have to see that its ironic, they are looking for aliens, not knowing that there are three aliens standing right here looking for answers." Liz whispered; Isabel smiled while Michael rolled his eyes.

They all stepped to move away from the staircase when a noise attracted their attention; they turned and saw an alien walking down the steps, arms out.

"Help me, I'm a human trapped in an alien body." The male voice called out.

"Excuse us." Isabel shot at him, eyeing the alien with disgust as they started to walk away only to stop and look at the alien once more.

Max pulled the alien's head off him and they saw that his face was slightly flush and sweaty while his hair was sticking up. "You do realise that we've just lost our last shred of dignity?" Isabel huffed out, annoyed while Michael shook his head, amused. Liz walked up and smiled down at Isabel.

"I don't know, I think it's kinda cute." Liz teased as she smoothed down Max's hair and kissing him.

Michael and Isabel watched in amusement as Max and Liz began to heat up the kiss and get lost in each other until Milton came running toward the couple.

"Evans!" Milton barked, causing the couple to separate, blushing. "This is a family environment, keep it to a minimum." Milton warned, teasingly and Max nodded.

"Yes sir." Max agreed and Milton turned to Liz.

"You couldn't do us a favour could you?" Milton asked and Liz looked at him with a curious gaze.

"What is it?" Liz asked and Milton smiled.

XXXXX

Liz panted as Max pushed her up against the wall, kissing her neck while she slid one hand into his dark hair and the other trailed down his back.

"I should wear this outfit more often." Liz groaned out while Max just grunted as he took her lips back into his; enjoying the feel of her body pressed up against his.

Milton had gotten Liz to help out in the U.F.O Centre because it was so busy and she was the only one who could fit into the uniform, it was a khaki green dress that stops above mid-thigh and she wore a yellow vest and her sneakers. The dress was a lot like her Crashdown Uniform except from the aliens' decoration.

"It feels like I'm wearing the Crashdown Uniform except from the Alien antenna." Liz complained to Isabel and Michael when she caught up with them.

"You look cute." Isabel stated and Liz wrinkled her nose in annoyance.

"Everyone thinks I'm cute because I'm the youngest and the smallest of the group, it reminds me of how Lilly felt." Liz mock complained and Isabel just laughed as she hugged Liz and left with Michael in tow to meet up with the rest of the gang at the Crashdown.

Liz walked around, looking for Max or Milton so that one of them was able to tell her what she was suppose to do, she found Max and walked up to him and noticed that he had a strange glint in his eyes as he watched her. She stopped in front of him with a confused look and was about to ask him what was wrong when he suddenly grabbed her arm and dragged her off to a small storage room at the back of the building. He locked the door, spun her around and pressed her up against it, kissing her hard and fast.

"Max, Milton will be - Oh! – Looking for us." Liz gasped out and bit her lip, letting her head fall back when Max attacked her pleasure point. Max licked at it, provoking her into lifting her hips and wrapping her legs around his waist.

Max grabbed his waist and pressed himself further into her body, enjoying the pleasure that shot through his body at the feel of her pressed up against him.

"He can wait." Max breathed out as he made his way up her neck until he reached her lips once more and kissed her hard on the mouth.

Soon there was a rattling sound, Liz pulled away from Max.

"What was that?" Liz asked, Max just kissed her neck.

"Nothing." Max stated hoarsely before taking her lips in his once more as he pressed her further against the door. They heard a turning sound and it was too late, the door swung open, causing Max and Liz to fall through the door, they looked up and saw Milton standing there with an amused look on his face, mixed with frustration.

Milton knew that Max would be missing when he had roped Liz into helping them out with the customers but was amused because he couldn't remember the last time Max was this head of heels with a girl. He remembered that Max was dating a blonde but knew it wouldn't last, as Max wasn't that interested in her.

"There you are Evans, I was thinking that you disappeared into thin air." Milton stated sarcastically. Both, Max and Liz jumped up and smoothed down their clothes.

"Did you need me for something?" Max asked.

"Yes, can you please fix the display of the autopsy, one of the kids had messed around with it, Liz you come with me; you are on information booth." Milton stated, both of them nodded and headed off to do their jobs.

Liz has found herself in the Crashdown, waitressing away while counting down the minutes for Max to return so they could finish off what they started when the bell rang at the counter, she turned around and walked up to the hatch to collect the order when she realised there was no order to collect.

"What did you ring the bell for?" Liz asked as Maria walked up.

"What are you and Max doing tonight?" Michael asked and Liz shrugged.

"Just hanging out and watching a film, we agreed to keep a low profile." Liz stated.

"Not anymore we're not, we're going out on a double date." Michael stated.

"We are." Max asked as he entered the backroom; he stopped when he heard Michael's statement and looked at the trio with a raised eyebrow. " Since when?"

"Since now, so go home, get changed, and get back here about nine." Michael ordered and Max looked at his watch while the girls looked at the clock.

"Mikey, its ten to nine." Liz replied and Michael cursed then looked at Liz.

"Use your powers to change your clothes so that you are acceptable for a date and Maxwell can phone Senior Chow and set reservation." Michael ordered.

Everyone just stood there, staring at Michael dumbfound when he started clapping his hand. "Well? Go on!" Michael barked, startling everyone out of his or her trance.

"Who is he and what has he done with Michael?" Maria asked Liz, Liz just shrugged, thinking that her brother had lost the plot.

XXXXX

"Why are we going on a double date with them?" Max asked Liz as he walked her toward the jeep.

"Because Michael wants us to do something together so that the F.B.I and Skins and any other enemies are not getting suspicious." Liz explained as Max helped her into the jeep and Max looked at her.

"Why do I get the feeling that we are in for a long night?" Max asked as he crossed over and got in the driver's seat, leaving Liz giggling.

Michael was about to get in the jeep when he caught Max's pointed look and looked over his shoulder, seeing Maria standing there with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Let me help you in." Michael stated as he held out his hand for Maria to take. Maria just scoffed as she took his hand and climbed into the jeep while Liz watched the pair of them, amused.

"What do you find so amusing?" Maria asked and everyone looked at Liz.

"You two." Liz replied. "You are acting like this is your first date." She noticed the guilty looks that Michael and Maria gave each other and it dawned on her. "Oh you are kidding me." Liz exclaimed. "You were together last year and you never went out? Don't you think it's better for your first date to be together rather than a double?"

"We've already made reservations." Michael shot down the idea and Liz arched an eyebrow, not letting him win.

"Nothing a wave of our hand can't fix." Liz countered.

"Max! Control her!" Michael exclaimed and Max laughed.

"She doesn't listen to me." Max stated and shrugged. "In fact, I think she's right." Michael looked at Max in horror. "Michael, this is yours and Maria's first date beside Liz and I want to be alone." Max explained.

Liz turned in her seat and gave Michael the puppy dog eyes, completed with the pout and Michael groaned.

"Don't do that." Michael pleaded causing Liz to double the effect and he sighed. "Fine, fine." He muttered and Liz smiled before turning back to face the front. Michael caught Max's amused look in the mirror and scowled at him before turning to look out of the side window.

"What the bet that Max and Liz will make Michael and Maria have a date on their own tonight?" Alex asked and Isabel laughed. They were in the Crashdown, having dinner.

"You know what Liz's like, as soon she finds out that it's their first date, she'll con them into going off by themselves rather than have a double date." Isabel replied and Alex smiled.

"Yeah, she's a great girl and I'm glad that Tess has gotten of her back about Max." Alex stated and Isabel nodded in agreement. "So how is Liz?" Isabel sighed.

"She still has nightmares of her father and mother's death, Max is worried about her as he practically stays up all night, watching over her." Isabel explained.

"Do we have any ideas yet why the Skins killed Jeff or why Jeff warned us not to let them get a hold of her?" Alex asked and Isabel shook her head.

"I asked Max what Liz had told him about our past life, he just changes the subject saying it's too raw at the moment to talk about it." Isabel stated and Alex nodded, both of them just played with their food.

XXXX

Max and Liz sat at a table by themselves.

"Peace." Max stated and Liz giggled as she picked up the menu and looked over at the choices.

"Max, they aren't that bad." Liz scolded lightly and Max looked at her through mock horror.

"Are you kidding?" Max gasped. "They could set off World war three!" Liz laughed at Max exaggeration and looked over where Maria and Michael were seated by themselves.

"They are not even talking." Liz noticed.

"They don't talk." Max retorted. "They argue or make out, whatever one comes first." He looked at his menu and Liz smiled. "Anyway, why talk about them when we can talk about us." Max whispered as he leaned over; Liz giggled as he kissed her softly before pulling away.

"And what could we talk about?" Liz asked.

"How about you tell me everything you did before you came here?" Max asked and Liz smiled.

"Well, I basically hung around with my friends in Florida, it was cool." Liz stated as they ordered. "We didn't move about, dad was happy with his life in Florida so we stayed there till he felt a power being used and we moved back here, dad didn't want to attract attention by coming straight after you used your powers as he felt you and the gang would be on the edge and be more cautious around us." Liz explained and Max nodded.

"Yeah, we already had the F.B.I and an alien hunter looking for us so it would have been better." Max agreed.

"I can't believe that Michael and Maria don't really know each other very well, considering they were around each other for nearly a year now." Liz stated and Max shrugged.

"Michael had a hard, life his foster father abused him and he is scared of letting people in." Max explained and Liz looked at Max.

"Where is his foster father now?" Liz asked and Max shrugged.

"No one knows, Valenti said that Hank showed up at the station and said that he had a new job and was moving." Max explained.

Liz looked at Michael and smiled.

"You know, mom would be so happy to know that someone had finally tamed Rath, he was such a wild play boy back home." Liz stated and Max laughed.

"You should have seen him when we found each other again, he had no control over his powers, except from one power, he could give someone the itches if they pissed him off." Max explained and Liz giggled.

"Vilandra had that power and she used to do it to Zan and Rath whenever they did something to annoy her, she had really good control over it that she could even time it to come on at the most impropriate moment." Liz explained and Max winced. "You know there was this time when Zan and Lilly were having their nightly walk, Zan had bugged Vilandra a couple of hours earlier and she had bugged him but he didn't know, during their make out and they were about to go further, the itches came on." Liz remembered and Max groaned.

"Only my sister would do that." Max muttered and Liz laughed. "Zan was annoyed and embarrassed that he refused to see Lilly for almost two weeks, Lilly was in laughers for days when she found out the reason why Zan wouldn't see her."

"That was a nice thing for you to do to your future husband." Max muttered and Liz pointed a finger at him.

"Ah ha, we weren't engaged at the time." Liz stated and Max laughed, their food came and they began to tuck into them.

"What was Zan really like? He wasn't a play boy like Rath was he." Max asked and Liz laughed.

"No, he's like what you are now, he was sweet, romantic, gentle although he did have his bad boy side that showed up some times. He was a great leader and everyone adored him." Liz stated and Max nodded.

"Why did Ava kill Lilly?"

"Because Lilly had Zan, Zan was meant for her and she grew up believing that Zan would fall in love with her but the minute Zan laid eyes on Lilly, he fell in love with her and sought her out." Liz explained. "Ava was hurt and rejected that she took revenge."

"How did Lilly and Zan meet?" Max asked.

"Zan and Rath were friends since they were kids, Zan never met the girls because it wasn't allowed at the time. There was ball on so they all went there and Zan and Ava met the for the first time, Lilly was running late at the time and when she arrived, her and Zan just met each other and things went from there." Liz stated and Max sighed.

"I wish I could remember." Max stated and Liz leaned over and linked hand with him.

"Give it time Max, they will come back to you in time." Liz assured and Max nodded.

"What was Lilly like?" Max asked and Liz blushed.

"Well, my dad told me that Lilly was sassy, a bit of a tease but she was loveable and sweet, that everyone fell in love with her when they met her." Liz described with a shrug and Max smirked.

"Nothing changed much there." Max teased and Liz, playfully, slapped his arm before getting back to her food, looked over at Maria and Michael, and found that they were in a heated conversation.

"They're arguing." Liz stated and Max chuckled as he looked over.

"At least they're getting to know each other." Max stated with a shrug and Liz smiled as she slipped her foot out of her shoes and ran it up and down Max's leg.

"Just like we're getting to know each other?" she asked innocently while Max mocked glared at her.

"How come Jeff never told us about our past?" Max asked.

"You didn't ask him plus he had it all planned out how and when he was going to tell you but…" Liz trailed off sadly and Max took her hand, understanding.

"I wish we had waited for you to come out of your pod." Max whispered and Liz looked up at him.

"How come you were gone at the time?" Liz asked; she wasn't angry, just curious.

"Michael told us we had to leave, that something was going to happen and we needed to get out of the pod chamber as soon as we could." Max explained and looked at Liz. "How come you hatched late?"

"There was some problem with the pods plus the pods let you hatched in the same order as you were born on Antar." Liz explained.

"That explained why Michael was first then I was second then Isabel was last." Max said and Liz nodded.

"As I was born two years later on Antar, it would make sense why I would be born later from you all." Liz explained, filling in the gap and Max nodded.

"I still wish I was there for you though." Max stated and Liz smiled.

"Max, it's okay, dad was there for me and he explained how come you hatched earlier than me." Liz consoled him then looked over to Michael and Maria only to roll her eyes to see that they were arguing again. "Give me a break!" she muttered and Max laughed as their food arrived.

"Hey guys, what you up to?" Tess asked as he entered Crashdown where Alex and Isabel were sitting at the booth.

"Just relaxing and chilling out." Alex remarked and Tess smiled.

"They mean the same thing." Tess teased and Alex laughed.

"Seriously, just sitting back and revelling in the fact that we are having a nice normal couple of days." Alex said and all three of them looked at each other.

"It's kind of boring isn't it?" Isabel asked and they nodded in agreement before laughing.

XXXXX

The gang was sitting in the Crashdown, surrounding a booth, laughing and talking to each other, Max, Liz, Michael and Maria had turned up earlier after their date and were talking about how Liz conned them, when Tess piped up.

"You know, it's nice." Tess stated as she took her seat next to Liz; they all looked at her.

"What is?" Liz asked.

"To have a normal couple of days for once." Tess stated and Liz smiled as she raised her glass and clinked Tess's.

"Amen to that." Liz agreed and both girls smiled while the others laughed.
