I got the second season of Roswell DVD for my Christmas, I was watching the special features of the scenes, you know, getting the background on it. Jason said that he was planning to have Max and Liz getting back together at the Prom! Do you have any idea how mad I was? We could have Max and Liz getting back together at the prom, not Max and Tess!

Anyway, hope you like this chapter. Oh BTW, Tess and Kyle are not going to be together in this story, I'm sorry but I don't have a plot line for them along the way so they will be with other people.

Chapter 19: Heart of Mine.

'It's April 27th. I'm Liz Parker and I think I've figured out why I haven't written in this journal in nearly a year.' Liz is sitting out on her balcony at her old house, she stopped writing and looked up into the star filled sky.

Liz woke up due to the sun shining in her face, she groaned as she turned on her other side and her calendar caught her eye. She smiled when she saw the red circle that Maria had marked on the calendar; signally that it was Prom time.

"Liz, are you up yet?" Diane shouted.

"I'm just coming!" Liz called out as she stood up and headed into the kitchen where Max was stumbling toward the table and Isabel was all excited.

"The prom is here!" Isabel squealed, Liz rolled her eyes as Max groaned. "Have you asked Liz yet?" Isabel demanded and Max choked on his drink as he looked at Liz then his sister.

"I just assumed…" Max started.

"You assumed just because you are going out that she would automatically go with you." Isabel hissed out and Max gulped while Liz bit her bottom lip to stop from laughing out right at Max petrified look.

Max turned to his girlfriend

"Will you go with me to the prom?" Max asked and Liz smiled.

"You already knew that I was going with you." Liz stated and Max sighed with relief as he turned back to his food.

"Good, now all we need to do is make sure we have all the clothes and stuff ready." Isabel stated as she pulled out her clipboard. "We need a limo, we are all meeting up at the Crashdown, Amy, and Jim are the chaperones." Isabel checked off the list. Max kissed the side of Liz's head before heading toward the safety of his room, leaving Liz giggling at her sister.

Isabel is in the library, sitting at a table, reading a book when she overheard a conversation, she looked up and watched the scene in front of her.

"Um, Allie, um I know we've been friends for a long time and I, I wouldn't want to do anything to risk that. But I'm just, I'm just starting to feel like we're more than just, than just friends. Ya know." The boy stated to his friend and she looked up at him.

"You are." She asked hopefully.

"Uh, yeah, anyway, I was just wondering if you wanted to go with me to the prom?" He asked and Allie smiled happily as she wrapped her arms around the boy's neck, hugging him.

"Of course! I can't wait to get a dress..." She stated.

Isabel smiled, happy for the couple but with a sense of jealously running through her veins.

Maria and Michael are looking at the poster for the prom, Michael was grumbling while Maria was arguing with him.

"Just kill me now. I don't do proms. I don't believe in them." Michael stated.

"You don't believe in them. Maria demanded, unbelievingly.

"The whole thing is totally bogus. It's completely unnatural." Michael complained and Maria scoffed.

"You know what? I, I find it to be really unnatural that you're half alien warrior and half Grandpa Dupree! But I make do." Maria shot at him and Michael rolled his eyes.

"I knew you were going to make this thing into a whole issue." Michael muttered and Maria screeched.

"Oh my God! This is potentially one of the five greatest nights of my life! And if you're not going to do your part in providing that for me, then I'm just gonna, I'm gonna seek other options. It's what I'm gonna do." Maria stated.

"So what are you saying, that we're seeing other people?" Michael asked.

"Oh my God, you are so annoying!" Maria snapped at him and Michael shrugged.

"Fine then we're seeing other people." Michael stated and Maria glared at him.

"Fine!" She snapped at him, Michael turns and walked off leaving Maria seething behind him.

"What are we going to do today?" Max asked Isabel as he sat at the table outside the quad.

The gang were in the Crashdown, Liz was busy waitressing while Michael was getting ready for his shift in the backroom.

"I can't believe it's the prom already!" Maria squealed, causing Isabel and Tess to squeal as well while the boys rolled their eyes and muttered to themselves as Liz walked over to the group with their orders.

"Here you go guys." Liz stated as she placed their order on the table, she bent down and gave Max a kissed before looking over to Tess and Kyle. "Have you two got your dates yet?" Liz asked them.

"No, I might be going stag." Tess stated.

"I'm taking Tammy Johnson." Kyle stated.

"You can go stag with me Tess." Maria stated and Tess looked at her.

"Michael not taking you?" Tess asked and she shook her head.

"So, missed your shift last night." Maria stated as she headed into the backroom and saw Michael at his locker, getting changed for his shift.

"Alien business." Michael stated.

"Well, we're both off tonight so I'm willing to let you take me to dinner and a movie so you can make up for your asinine comments yesterday. Which um, by the way, I think it's very big of me." Maria stated and Michael shook his head.

"I can't make it tonight." Michael stated.

"You can't make it." Maria asked.

"Naw, I got plans." Michael stated as he walked over into the kitchen, leaving her alone.

Alex and Isabel were at the library, studying for a pop quiz when Isabel spoke up.

"So I think Billy Sorian is going to ask me to prom." Isabel stated and Alex looked up.

"Billy, huh? Are you sure? Cuz I heard he was taking Amy Green." Alex stated and Isabel shrugged.

"Well, the point is, I would've said no." Isabel retorted and Alex nodded.

"Oh."

"What about you Alex? Anyone special?" Isabel asked and Alex shook his head.

"Not right now." Alex replied.

"Really? Maybe someone special, from your past, who's ready now and before she wasn't." Isabel hinted and Alex caught on.

"Isabel, it would be my dream to take you to prom." Alex stated and Isabel smiled but it faded when Alex continued. "But then we'd wake up the next morning and you'd be onto the next thing and I'd be right back where I was before Sweden. You know, obsessed, pathetic and lovesick. Therefore, I think, amazingly, my answer is no. I'm not going to take you to prom. Okay." Alex replied before looking down at his book, Isabel looked at him upset and uncomfortable.

"Have you got your dress yet?" Max asked as he entered Liz's room, she nodded.

"Yeah I do, you have your tux?" she asked.

"Yep, Isabel took me shopping and maxed out my credit card limit, so I can't buy anything till next month." He muttered; Liz turned to him with a smile.

"At least you can wear it more than one." Liz stated and Max mocked glared at her when something hit him.

"Do you know what is up with Michael?" Max asked and Liz smiled.

"He is taking dancing Lessons, that is the reason why he doesn't want to go to the prom, he can't dance. Rath was the same." Liz explained and Max rolled his eyes.

"And I'm guessing that Maria doesn't know?" Max asked and Liz shook her head, curious and confused to why.

Alex is in his room, playing his guitar when someone knocked on his window, causing him to look up

"Hello?" Alex asked. There was another knock and Alex got off the bed. "Who is it?" Alex asked as he raised the guitar as a weapon as he moves toward the window as another knock sounded round the room, he opened the blinds and sighed in relief.

"Hey." Isabel greeted and Alex nodded.

"Hey."

"Sorry." Isabel stated, pointing toward the raised guitar and Alex lowered.

"It's okay."

"Can I come in?" Isabel asked.

"Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm sorry." Alex stated as he opened the window and let Isabel in.

"Last semester, Miss Rikesdale told me that I only needed to take one more class to graduate. So I did." Isabel stated and Alex looked at her.

"So you're graduating." Alex asked and Isabel nodded.

"You're the only person that knows that." Isabel warned and Alex nodded.

"So are you like, going to college?" Alex asked and Isabel shrugged.

"Exactly, I had no idea. But what I'm sure of is that I'm graduating. And this is my last chance to have a prom, ever." Isabel stated; Alex just sat there in silence. "Alex, please don't make me just sit here." Isabel pleaded.

"Isabel Evans, go to the prom with me?" Alex asked; Isabel's eyes widen in happiness as she lunged at him and hugged him, laughing.

"Maria, would you quit fussing." Liz hissed at Maria as she fixed Maria's hair, she was in her jeans and a red tank top as she tried to make Maria stand still. Liz was running late due to had to run an errand for the Crashdown and was going to go to the prom later meet the gang there.

"I'm trying to stand still." Maria stated as Max came in; he smiled when he saw Maria and Liz.

"Hey girls." He greeted, Liz pulled away from Maria and kissed him on the lips.

"Hey, I'm going to be late at the prom so meet me there." Liz stated and Max nodded.

"Michael still not coming?" Max asked and Maria scoffed.

"Does it look like it?" Maria asked as they looked at the kitchen where Michael was getting the grill ready.

Kyle walks up to Maria and smiled.

"Hello." Kyle greeted to Maria, Maria smiled back as Max and Liz went over to greet Tess, Isabel and Alex.

"Hi." Maria called back.

"Can I get two cokes?" Kyle asked the waitress, she nodded as she turned to fill out the order. Maria and Kyle turned to face Amy and Jim where they were sitting at the booth together. "I caught them making out on the couch." Kyle stated and Maria scoffed.

"Dude, I caught them making out in the pantry closet in the kitchen. It's just so embarrassing." Maria exclaimed and Kyle nodded.

"I know, but there's nothing we can do about it. Its just raging hormones. And they are our chaperones." Kyle muttered.

"Oh come on kids, we have to take pictures. Come on, lets go guys. Maria, you look absolutely perfect. Where is uh, Isabel, Alex, Tess, come on. Lets take pictures. Whom I missing, uh Michael." Amy stated as she looked around and saw Michael behind the hatch, shaking his head. "Come out here, mm hmm. Come on, let's go now." Amy stated as Michael came out, everyone got together and laughed at each other before Amy turned to Jim. "Uh, Jim, come on, whom I going to stand with? Is that everyone? Oh, oh, this is going to be great, um, Tommy.... Can you take the picture for me?" Amy asked; Tommy nodded as he stepped up and took the camera, Amy joined the group and the camera focused on them. Everyone was laughing and smiling at each other.

'And there we were. All together, with everything we'd all been through over the last two years. The battles we'd fought, the relationships that were formed, the feelings for each other, stronger than any feelings we'd ever known could exist. And somehow in this moment I had this really strong, really upsetting feeling, that this was the last time we'd all be standing together.' Liz wrote in his diary, confused about her feelings.

The gang minus Liz and Michael had shown up at the prom, the music started up and the lights began to dim in the hall as a spot light shone upon the stage. There were gasp of shock as a girl stepped up onto the stage.

Max, Isabel, Alex, Tess, Maria and Kyle just looked at the stage in a stunned shock then smiled as the tune started up.

"May we madam?" Alex asked Isabel and Isabel smiled as she placed her hand in Alex's hand and he guided her to the dance floor as Kyle had walked off to dance with Tammy. Max turned to Tess and held out his hand. Maria stood to the side with a smile on her face and watched the gang be happy for once but felt sad that Michael didn't turn up. Jim walked over to her and held out his hand.

"Would you like to dance?" Jim asked and Maria smiled as she placed her hand in his.

Everyone moved to the middle of the dance floor and started dancing while looking at the singer.

Liz had walked up, she was wearing a long floor length black dress that showed off a lot of her back and there was a mid-thigh slit, the top skimmed the top of her breasts and her hair was curled.

"Hi, I was asked to sing this song for a special guy from a stargazer, hope you like it." Liz stated with a shrug as she nodded to the band behind her then turned back to the audience.

'I've been watching you and all you do

For quite some time

Knowing all the ins and outs of you

I should've known what was on your mind

But all the world is spinning round and round

Inside my head tonight

I will fall into the darkness

And I fear I will never see the light' Alex looked at Liz in a stunned shock before turning to Isabel.

'So let me in

All that I wanted from you

Was something you'd never do

So let me in

Oh please tonight

Don't let this end

Tonight

I'll Fall

Through no light the darkness seems to be

So very strong

How does one alone against the world

Find the strength to carry on?

What happened to the way we used to love

It seemed as though life had just begun

But now that love has come and gone to fade away

Like the setting sun

Cuz' you won't let me in.'

"She sounds beautiful." Tess whispered to Max and he nodded with a proud smile while looking at Liz. Tess smiled with happiness at the love glowing from the two of them.

'All that I wanted from you

Was something you'd never do

So let me in

Oh please tonight

Don't let this end

Tonight

Cuz' I'm starting to fall

So let me in

It was all that I wanted from you

It was something you never knew

To let me in

But not tonight

For this is the end

Tonight

I fall'

Max and Tess stopped and clapped when Liz finished the song, Tess turned to Max and smiled at him.

"I know how much you love Liz, I can see it every time you look at her." Tess replied and Max sighed.

"I do love her. Tess, if you look a bit harder, you just might find that there's someone who likes you too." Max stated and Tess looked at him puzzled. Max just looked over her head with a smile and turned her around.

"May I have this dance?" Tommy asked and Tess smiled as she took his hand. Max looked up at Liz and saw her walking toward him with a huge smile. Max held out his arms and Liz grinned as she stepped into them, she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and rested her head on his shoulder.

"How are you feeling?" Max asked and Liz smiled as she looked up into his face.

"Totally great." Liz whispered and Max smiled down at her before bending his head down to kiss her on the lips. Liz smiled as she leaned on tiptoes and kissed him.

"I love you." Max whispered as he pulled away and Liz smiled brightly.

"I love you too." Liz whispered back. "Let's go somewhere." Liz stated to Max, he looked at her and she nodded as she pulled on his hand and they both hurried out of the Hall, not before stopping to get their picture taken then rushing off.

Maria and Michael walk up to each other.

"What are you doing here?" Maria asked.

"Came here to dance." Michael stated.

"Well you should have brought Juanita." Maria stated and Michael looked at her.

"How do you know about her?" Michael asked.

"I followed you to your pod." Maria admitted and Michael sighed.

"Juanita's my dance teacher." Michael explained.

"Your dance teacher." Maria repeated, thinking she hadn't heard properly.

"Yeah, I can't dance. And I knew this was a big deal for you so I was taking dancing lessons." Michael stated and Maria bit her bottom lip, embarrassed, relieved and happy.

"Oh my God." Maria stated and it hit Michael.

"Wait, did you think Juanita was some chick I was boffin?" Michael demanded.

"Oh my God." Maria repeated.

"How the hell did you find out about it in the first place..." Michael demanded.

"Oh my God, I am like the stupidest person alive." Maria declared and Michael smiled slightly.

"Okay. Juanita declared me unteachable, but if you want to risk personal injury..." Michael stated, Maria smiled as she took his hand and led him to the dance floor.

At the bowling alley, Liz took off her shoes.

"What are you doing?" Max asked.

"Lane walking." Liz replied and Max raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah, what's that?" Max asked.

"There's this thing I used to do when I worked at a bowling alley back in L.A, see.... what the

average American doesn't realize is that every lane in a bowling alley has about a million coats of oil on it, so, if you're wearing just socks, you can kind of slide forever. It's kind of freeing. Wanna try it?" Liz asked and Max thought about it and nodded.

"Sure." Max stated, he took of his shoes and Liz waved her hands, placing socks on her feet, she stood up and pulled Max up by his hand.

"Ready to slide?" Liz asked.

"Bring it on." Max stated, they both laughed as they linked hands and ran until they started sliding across the lands.

'We try to live responsible, logical lives. But we can't tell our hearts how to feel.' Liz wrote Alex and Isabel are kissing, Tess is laughing at something Tommy said to her '... Sometimes our hearts lead us to places we never thought we wanted to go.' Maria and Michael are dancing while Kyle is holding Tammy while laughing with his friends. 'And sometimes are hearts can be the sweetest, gentlest things we have.' Liz is dancing with Max on the lane, he twirl her around as they both slide once more. 'Sometimes are hearts can make us feel miserable, angry, excited and confused. All at once. But at least my heart is open. And I'm writing again. I'm feeling. I'm breathing. We are all alive and happy for the first time in a while.' Liz looked back up at the stars, saw her once before home planet, and smiled. She was home and she was happy.

The song is let me in by Save Ferrari. I took it from the epic Heat wave, from Alex's dream.
