Chapter 9
A/N: I do not own Roswell nor the wonderful last words by Liz Parker. Shows how much time I have on my hands.
Like yesterday, everyone still kept their attention on Kurama, he was up to something today, but no one knew what that was exactly.
Around the same time as yesterday, when Columbia traumatized her brother, Kurama seemed to be acting a little, well, off.
Worried for her best friend's sanity, or what was left of it, Yukina got her brother to see if Kurama was indeed up to something.
"Kurama, what's going on, you're being quieter than usual."
"You wanna know what she really thinks of us? She has an entry for all of us."
Kurama slowly reached into his desk and pulled out a black book.
"Kurama, that isn't, is that Columbia's?"
"Come on bro, read it, I dare ya."
Everyone turned and saw Columbia sitting at her desk with her legs crossed, fingers laced, and a creepy smile that no one understood.
As Kurama flipped through the journal, he found the entries, but as everyone gathered around, Kurama's face dropped.
Keiko caught this look and asked, "Kurama, what's wrong?"
Kurama slowly gave the journal to Keiko, who flipped through it only to get the same reaction as Kurama.
"There's only one word per person, maybe a few more at the least, but there's nothing."
"That's my point Keiko. Why should I write something that could hurt someone if they get a hold of that."
Hiei looked at Columbia amazed at how calm and collected she was.
"So, what does it say about us?"
"Hmm, Yusuke, punk yet caring. Keiko, the slightly normal one. Kuwabara, stupid. Yukina, my best friend who maybe as crazy as me. Botan, oh geez, peppy. Koenma, controlling. Kurama, smart ass bro who needs a haircut. Finally, Hiei."
"Hiei what? What does it say about me?"
Hiei got up and grabbed the journal and as he looked down at the entry on him, a smile, yes a smile, crept on to his face.
"It's the picture Yukina took of me and Columbia when we dozed off in the hospital after Columbia go shot.
Columbia got up from her seat and went to Hiei's.
"Yeah, turn the page."
Hiei turned the page and said, "One last entry, a long one too."
"It's a quote, my favorite one too."
"I know what she's talking about," Yukina said as she grabbed the journal form her brother and gave it to Columbia.
"You all want me to read it?"
Everyone nodded.
Columbia closed her journal as she spoke.
"I can't tell you much more than that, it wouldn't be safe, for you or for us. I can tell you that we're all far away and trying to avoid the law and do good in the world.
Oh, and I guess I should tell that Max and I did eventually tie the knot.
Give my love to mom, let her read this journal too, then give it to Maria's mom, then take it and burn it out in the desert by the ruins of the pod chamber, where my husband was born.
So that's the end, our life in Roswell. What a long and strange trip it's been, will we ever go back, I don't know, even I can't see everything in future. All I know is that I'm Liz Parker and I'm happy."
After that, an eerie silence crept over the class, but Kurama, being the jerk that he is breaks the silence.
"Ha, where did that come from, you're name's not Liz."
"Roswell, you idiot. It's the last words of the show and I happen to know them by heart"
"Those were the last words!"
Everyone turns to face the very angry Botan.
"Yeah, they were."
"What about Michael?"
"Michael's mine."
"You'd like to think so."
"Oh, I know so, so back off dye job."
"Your mouth speaks louder than your journal."
"Your mouth speaks louder than everyones."
"Stupid whore."
"Hermaphrodite."
Everyone's jaws dropped as Columbia slowly started walking towards the now dead Botan.
Hiei and Yusuke caught on first and grabbed Columbia before she she could, well, kill Botan.
"Anyway, before Botan went all stupid on me, I wrote that 'cause it was the last thing in Liz's journal and it just happened to stick with me, so I put it as my last and final journal entry."
Yusuke, being the idiot that he is asked, "So, ya gonna burn it by some pod chambers where your 'husband' was born?"
Columbia couldn't answer, it was so stupid, so childish, so Yusuke.
Before Columbia could do any damage to Yusuke, the final bell rang and Hiei, Columbia, and Yukina ran out before anyone could even breath.
Once the three got outside, they broke into laughter.
"I can't believe he thought that was the real journal," Yukina said betweem laughs.
"I know, at least it's over now."
"My girlfriend and my sister are both severely crazy."
"DUH!"
As the three walk off, someone in the shadows watched them.
Uh-oh, who could it be. I bet everyone thought Columbia was gettin' her's. Well you see, Columbia's based on me and I had something like that happen except it was a real journal with my very real angry feelings. That was a mess, but I didn't hurt anyone getting it back, maybe.
What brought on Shiri Appleby's last words in Roswell as Liz Parker, was the fact that one of my friends was amazed at how I could recite them word for word. I tend to do that, I memorize the last word or lines of a TV show's series finale. Like Roswell, I know the last lines of Buffy the Vampir Slayer and Angel. Pretty talented, wouldn't ya say.
I'm suprised I haven't melted or combusted yet. What I mean is Illinois had a weird heat boost and it got to alomst 85 degrees today and it doesn't help that I can;t handle heat that well. It also doesn't help that that only the offices, the computer labs, the library, and a handful of class rooms haev A/C, none of my classes have A/C, 'cause I usually go to the library during study hall to write, but it was "closed" today, so I suffered and I DO NOT tan, I burn, BADLY. In P.E. today, it sucked too, we went outside and out of frustration and anger from the heat, I layed down on the tennis courts until I got yelled at by Abby. There was no shade or water, so could ya blame me. Then everyone else did what I had done, so I think we may have fitness tomorrow 'cause no one can think of their own thing and they get all of us in trouble for it. GEEZ!
Well, I'll spare ya anymore of my blabbering.
I'm out.
Lonny
