Well, this chapter 2 of my story. I would like to thank everyone who read my story, and thank my lone reviewer (whoever you are, thanks!). So, my morale is boosted and that means another chappie. Please keep reading and keep reviewing. Trust me, I really appreciate them (it helps to know that someone is reading this). Here it is.
Disclaimer: I do not own Roswell, but I do own a box of cheez-its.
Chapter 2:
"Are you sure?" Liz asked Alex the next day, after he had told the gang about the appearance of the semi-existent girl. Needless to say, they were all a little bit more than skeptical.
"I'm as sure as I can be. I mean, she was there one minute and gone the next. The only way that is possible is if she is, um, of Czechoslovakian origin," Alex stated. He was desperate to prove that he wasn't crazy, if not to the group, then to himself.
"Alex, you've been under a lot of stress lately. Are you sure that your mind didn't just create her?" questioned Liz. The others nodded in agreement.
"She's right. Everyone her has had a lot to deal with lately and maybe that is why you saw her. She probably only exists in your head," Max agreed.
"No! She is real. She has to be. We connected in this weird way. I can't describe it; we just did," Alex pleaded.
"What proof do you have that she does?" Tess asked. It was the first time she had spoken during the meeting and surprisingly it was to ask something that they all wanted to know.
"Well, when I went to the spot where she was standing, on the ground there were these glowing droplets of light, and they had formed the constellation Cassiopeia," said Alex.
"Is this thing still there?" asked Max.
"No," said Alex shaking his head. "When I touched them, they disappeared, but there might be some sort of a mark left on the pavement where it happened."
"So what you're saying is that you saw this girl, you "connected", she disappeared, you went to where she was, saw a constellation on the ground, and now it's not there. Basically, you have no proof," Michael said sarcastically. "This has been a waste of my time."
"Stop it, Michael! You're being rude. Come on, you guys. Alex wouldn't tell us this if he didn't think that is important," Maria said, hitting Michael on the back of the head.
Alex smiled at Maria, grateful that someone believed him. It made him more confident in his belief that this girl existed.
"Maria's right and I for one trust Alex and think we should investigate this "girl"," Isabel said, looking pointedly at Max.
Alex's heart leapt in his chest at the thought that Isabel believed him. Of everyone here, he had been the least sure of how she would react. It felt good to know that she was on his side.
"Alright, we'll look into it. Alex, later could you show me and Liz the spot where she was?" Max said, taking Isabel's not so subtle hint.
"Yeah, sure," Alex responded.
With that the meeting was over. Michael stormed off and with a roll of her eyes, Maria followed. Liz glanced over at Max and then muttered something about an experiment and hurried away. She had been avoiding him since she got back from Florida and everyone knew it had something to do with revelation of the Pod Squad's destiny. Max made the motion to follow her, but Tess latched on and would let him get away. Kyle was absent at the meeting for reasons unknown.
Finally, it was just Alex and Isabel still there. He walked over to here and said, "Thanks for believing me. It means a lot to me."
"Why wouldn't I believe you? I know you would never lie about something like this. I trust you completely," she answered.
They exchanged a smile, and she said, "Well, I have to go, but I'll talk you to later."
"Bye, Isabel."
"Bye, Alex."
And with that, they parted and as Alex walked along he pondered both Isabel's words and the intentions of the mystery girl.
'Maybe, this girl is trying to find the Royal Four. But if she is, why would she come to me?' Alex thought as he walked along the street.
And that folks is the end of chapter two. I apologize profusely if it is a little hard to follow. Once again thanks for reading and please review!
