Roswell Story
True Destiny
She walked into the Crashdown Café in Roswell, New Mexico and was more nervous than she had ever been in her whole life. She didn't know why she was so nervous after all she was coming home, in a way. The place looked exactly as she had remembered though it had been years since she had been here. Anne took a seat in the booth closest to the door with her back to the kitchen door.
Maria Deluca, the pretty, blonde, talented, and quick-witted waitress walked over, "Hello, welcome to the Crashdown Café. Can I start you with a drink?" She barely looked at the girl sitting in the booth, she wore a smile but Anne could see and sense the pain behind her eyes.
"Sure, I'd like an iced tea, an order of Mars chili fries and one of your famous mud pies from when we were eight."
This caused a very confused look to appear on Maria's face and she finally looked at the patron sitting in the booth. At first there was something familiar about this girl with blonde hair and green eyes but Maria couldn't put her finger on it, then, "Anne, is that you? Liz didn't say you were coming. I haven't seen you in like three years and now you are a beauty queen I didn't even recognize."
"Hi to you too Maria," Anne said as she got up and hugged Maria. "Liz didn't know I was coming no one did."
"Well let's go surprise her is in the kitchen," without waiting for a reply Maria grabbed the girl's hand and dragged her to the kitchen where Liz was putting away dishes while arguing with a smug looking but handsome man.
"Oh Liz dear, I have a surprise for you," Maria said with a laugh in her voice.
"What is it Maria? Michael here is being a pain as usual," the beautiful brown-haired Liz Parker said as she turned around. When she laid eyes on the girl that had come into the kitchen with Maria she exclaimed, "Anne oh my god, I didn't know you were coming. How are you doing?" The two girls embraced and were all smiles and squeals.
"I'm good Lizzie, a little tire from the drive but good. What's new in the sleepy town of Roswell?"
"You know the typical we averted another alien invasion last week then went to the movies," the smug cook almost choked in shock because Liz was telling the truth.
"Well how exciting hopefully there will be something as interesting happen every week so I don't die of boredom," she said full well knowing Liz wasn't kidding and giving a look to Michael who was still recovering from his choking incident.
"Oh that's Michael my sometimes boyfriend and the cook around here, and Michael this is Anne Liz's cousin from California," Maria introduced.
Anne went over and shook his hand, "Good to see you again Michael. Need some water for that cough?" She said with a smirk and a wink.
"We've met before?" Michael was thoroughly confused. He was sure that if he had met a beautiful girl with raspberry blonde hair and green eyes he would have remembered.
"Sure a long time ago, you'll remember eventually, don't worry." She gave him another wink.
Michael was suspicious yet at the same time he knew there wasn't anything wrong with her, she wasn't a threat.
"Okay enough small talk, you said you were tired why don't you go out and have a seat and we will bring you some food, you wanted what you said right?" Maria hadn't heard what was said but was uneasy at the looks that were exchanged between Anne and her boyfriend.
"Yes I'm starved. I was too scared to try any of the food on the road."
Liz laughed, "Okay." as she snatched Maria's order pad from her, "iced tea and Mar's chili fries, coming right up. Anything else Anne?"
"Sure a veggie patty melt, and could you make sure you bring a bottle of Tabasco sauce too I eat it on everything," with that Anne walked back into the dining room and the three exchange glances. This was Liz's cousin but at the same time things seemed off and bells were ringing but they were being ignored because Anne needed them to be. She had to reach Max first. If she couldn't convince Max of the truth all was lost.
Anne sat and Maria was out in a second with her iced tea, "Sorry sweetie but right now neither Liz or I can visit as you see we are busy."
"It's fine Maria I m okay I have my book as always," Anne smiled and held up the book she was reading.
Maria took a quick glance it was Bella Tuscany by Frances Mayes. Maria thought she had heard about it but she didn't think it had interested her. "Okay, good well Liz or I will be out with your food in just a little bit."
"Alright thanks Maria sorry if I'm being a bother."
"No it's fine this is our jobs after all," Maria had had some suspicion for a second but it faded Anne was still that girl that had come and spent every summer with them until they were eleven.
Anne was relieved all their suspicions had dissipated; she had to avoid any more comments that would give her away before she was ready. It was just so hard there was so much to do and so little time, but first she had to talk to Max to get him to remember, then the others could be told and their memories could be recovered but until then . . .
Liz then came over with her food, "alright Annie one veggie patty melt and one order of chili fries and I made sure it was veggie chili."
"Thanks, Liz, it is still an adjustment ordering vegetarian food in a regular restaurant."
Well at least I know. So you will be fine ordering here, you could even order a burger and we would know to make it veggie so don t worry about it. Liz was the best Anne had missed her so much and now she was back with them all, hopefully forever.
"Thanks Liz, I really missed you and Maria. I can't believe I haven't seen you guys since you came to visit, three years ago."
"Are you okay Anne you seem sad or distracted? Both really."
"I am both kind of. Liz, but it is okay really. We'll get to all that later," just then there was a clatter in the kitchen. I think they need your help in there. "
"Yeah, um, but we'll talk later," Liz was worried but at the same time had a lot on her own mind. The Crash down was packed the only empty seats were at the booth with Anne; Liz needed to focus on work and not worry about her cousin now.
"It's okay Liz I'll still be here later," Anne smiled at Liz and somehow Liz stopped worrying so much.
Anne sat and ate her food while thinking over everything she had to do. Making sure she had the steps in the correct order so she couldn't mess up. She was so distracted she couldn't read her book and forgot about being careful about what she was doing to keep away suspicion. She was even so distracted she almost didn't notice when the gorgeous Max Evans walked in.
Max looked around and saw that the Crashdown was packed for the lunch rush even all the stools at the bar were taken. Extra chairs had been taken out and placed at the end of the booths, which were packed all except for the one closest to the door, which only had a single girl sitting in it. She sat looking deep in thought as she poured Tabasco sauce all over her veggie burger and even into her iced tea. There was something familiar about this girl. She was hot and Max knew that they had met before but he couldn't place her and that fact she was putting Tabasco sauce on everything did throw off alarms but at the same time something was saying that she was okay.
Anne looked up and saw Max looking at her, he had moved so he was only a few feet away. Anne blushed under his gaze she couldn't help it. She knew it was Max but hadn't realized before that he was so cute. "Well instead of staring come sit, it's the only seat left in the place and if you want to eat then you had better grab it," Anne could hardly believe what was coming out of her mouth it wasn't her. Then again since she had her eighteenth birthday she hadn't really been herself.
"Oh I don t want to intrude, " Max was embarrassed at his actions and blushing at the sound of this girls voice and her look. He hadn't been able to tell when she was looking away how green her eyes were, he hadn't seen green eyes like that since, he couldn't really remember when.
"No it is fine, come sit."
Max was hesitant but sat anyways, "thanks, it is nice of you to let a perfect stranger sit with you. I'm Max Evans by the way."
"Oh, Max hi. I've heard some about you I'm Liz's cousin Anne." Liz had mentioned Max once but Anne knew him for another reason.
"Oh, nice to meet you. I think Liz has mentioned you a few times. So you are in town for a visit?" Max was a little more at ease but still he sensed there was something up with this girl.
Anne was almost to try to make Max remember her but Brom was talking in the back of her mind wait it has to be done in the right way! She kept calm and would wait till the right time she couldn't scare him off.
"I'm not visiting I m moving here. I finished school and I kind of have a job to do here in Roswell. You know we've met before Max, when we were little." Max looked at this girl again and listened to her voice he started to remember something. Eight years ago during the summer Liz s cousin came to visit it had been a strange summer that he never thought about again but that would pop into his dreams sometimes especially this girl and something they did in a park the day that she had left to go back home.
"I remember you Anne. You came to visit that first summer Iz and I had come to live in Roswell. You gave me my first kiss in the park before you left." Max smiled he had fallen for her that summer.
Anne smiled too and blushed because she was falling for him all over again. "Yes, but it was my first kiss too that was a fun summer that I hated to end. I m so sad I never made it back till now. Oh how is Isabel we became best friends that summer I still miss her every now and then. We had kept in touch but after a year we just slowly stopped talking."
Max kept looking at this girl and trying to remember that summer. There was something special about this girl he knew but couldn't remember what, maybe he had never known but he thought he used to. Isabel is good you'll probably see her later, she got married you know."
"Yeah Liz had mentioned the wedding to me."
"Yeah she seems to be pretty happy with the married life."
"Good I'm glad."
Just then Liz walked over, "Hi Max so you've met my cousin. Everything okay with your food Anne?"
"It's great Liz thanks."
"Max do you want anything?"
"No I'm fine just came by to say hi," things were still weird between Liz and Max they had never really made up after Tess left pregnant with Max' s baby. They had tried to fix things over the summer but it hadn't worked out.
"Well if you're not busy could you do Maria and I a huge favor and keep Anne entertained for a few hours till we are done here?"
"Sure no problem," Max wanted to get to the bottom of this. Anne was thrilled everything was going according to plan so far.
"Great thank you Max. Sorry Anne is it okay with you? We are just busy and I hate to have you sitting around doing nothing.
"No Liz it is fine, Max and I were just starting to get to know each other."
Liz almost didn't like that, she wasn't over Max yet but at the same time she wasn't ready to give up all rights to him yet, "good just don't go crazy just a tour of the town or something."
"Sure," Max laughed he half knew what was going on in Liz s head but Anne knew exactly.
"Okay, well have fun you too, oh and don t worry about the bill Anne family eats free of course," Liz said as she ran off to the hail of "oh waitress. "
"So go ahead and finish eat and then we'll go on a tour of the town and you need to give me answers," Max wanted to be mad and suspicious but somehow he couldn't some part of him knew that Anne was good.
Anne loved that she didn't have to influence Max that the part of him that knew her and that knew the truth was influencing him and everything would be fine. "No problem are you sure you aren't hungry, I won't eat all these chili cheese fries and they all ready have Tabasco all over them." Max gave her another suspicious look. "You know what? So you stop looking at me so funky let me explain one thing now. I know you like Tabasco all over everything because you, Iz and Michael have been like that since you were little and I sort of picked it up from you guys. I'll be finished soon especially if you help me eat the fries and here take the water I haven't touched it."
Max couldn't help but smile and accept the fries and water. He looked up at Anne who just gave him a quick smile and went back to eating and thinking like she had been when he came in. She really was so beautiful it almost hurt. Who was she really? Max kept thinking.
Max and Anne left the Crashdown together and started their tour of the town. You know this really isn't a tour for me. A tour is when you don't know a place at all this is more of a refresher course, Anne said with a sly smile after they had passes the UFO center and the movie theater and Max had acted like a tour guide describing each place.
"Yeah but really how well can you remember a place that you haven t been to in eight years? Plus the town has changed slightly at least," he couldn't help but laugh a little.
"Sure that's Rowell for you a real metropolis always changing," Anne was serious sarcastic here and normally she can hold a straight face but with Max she couldn't help but laugh. They both laughed and continued to make there way through town with Max acting as tour guide and the two through sarcastic remarks and wise cracks at each other. They were completely at ease as if they had known each other for years and in a way they had.
Finally they reached the park and walked through it because Max wanted to point things out to Anne. Max loved the park and always came there to think. They came near the bridge over the little stream that ran through the park where Isabel had made it snow to cheer Max up one time. The bridge was right near the bench were Max had been sitting when Tess had come and found him when he was brooding because he thought Liz had slept with Kyle and he had decided to give Tess a chance. Both the bridge and bench were near his favorite tree in the park. Anne knew the tree well and when it came in sight she started herding Max in that direction because she had to start her plan.
"Look Max it is your favorite tree. I bet you still come to this area whenever you are upset or confused and you don t even realize you are coming to be near the tree."
"I do usually come around here. How did you know that?"
"Well it is what you used to do when you were little that one summer at least. You had come to this tree the day I left to go back home and I had come and found you. Do you remember that?"
"Kind of," Max was really trying to remember and as he looked at Anne and then at the tree he had a flash memory of being at the tree. Anne had come and found him he was brooding and as she tried to comfort him she started crying because she was upset herself about leaving. Max had dried her tears and pushed back her golden hair and they shared their first kiss under the tree.
"Our first and last kiss together. Do you remember something else about this tree and that day? A secret you shared with me?"
" A secret?" Max couldn't remember anything but he hoped it hadn't been about the fact he was an alien. " No I don't remember."
"Max it is important you remember, there was urgency in Anne's voice but not pressure. "Do you recognize this?" Anne pulled a crystal hanging on a black rope from under her shirt.
"You gave this to me. We all have one Iz, Michael, Maria, Liz, Kyle, and Alex had one which I hope Liz or Maria have now. There is a lot I need you to remember." She took Max 's hand in hers. "Max, remember." He flashed again to that day and after the kiss little Max looked up at Anne and they both blushed.
"I'm going to miss you so much Anne I wish you didn't have to go. But I do have a present for you so you will never forget me," young Max said. He pulled a crystal hanging on a black rope from somewhere behind the tree Anne couldn't see. "Here, this is for you always wear it and part of me will be with you. I have one of my own and I'll give one to the others too."
"It is beautiful Max thank you. Where did you get it?" Little Anne asked grasping her new gift.
"I will tell you but it is a big secret you have to swear never to tell anyone."
"Promise, not anyone."
"Okay, well I have a treasure chest and it is one of my treasures." Max then brought Anne around to the other side of the tree and waved his hand over a spot on the tree and a child s size silver handprint appeared. Hey touched the handprint and a hollow in the tree opened up. Inside the hollow was a box which Max removed and opened; inside the box was a couple of toy cars, a rabbits foot and a good sized round crystal that had pieces missing out of it and there were seven crystal necklaces sitting in the box. The small crystals on the necklaces where the perfect size to fit into the holes in the bigger crystal.
"These are all my treasures. Especially this crystal. It is a magic mother crystal and as long as we each have a crystal we will be connected forever and one day you will come back."
"That is really neat Max who are the other crystal necklaces for?"
"Isabel, Michael, Liz, Maria, Alex and that boy we met last week Kyle."
"Kyle? But we just met him and what about the other one that is six there are seven crystals. "
"Kyle is part of the group and the seventh crystal is for the missing one she'll come back one day too." Max seemed so wise.
"Thank you for sharing your secret I won t tell anyone I promise and I promise to come back one day. I have something for you too. I made a song for you and taped it on my recorder and want you to have it so you can listen to it and remember me." Anne took a little tape player out of her bag and played the tape in it for Max. It was Anne playing a song on the piano.
"Thank you Anne I'll keep it here for now so that I can listen to it in private. We should probably get back to the group now but before we do I want you to be able to have access to the treasure chest. Here touch this spot." Max pointed to the spot where the silver handprint had been but wasn't now and when Anne put her hand on the spot Max put his hand over hers and it glowed. "There, now you can access our treasures too."
"Wow Max that is the most special thing anyone has ever done for me. I think I'm going to cry again."
"No don t cry Anne. Let s get back to the others now so you can have a little more time with them before they leave." With that Max put the tape player and tape in the hollow along with the box and closed the tree back up. He grabbed Anne's hand and then began running back to the group of others.
That's were the memory flash ended and Max looked up at Anne. "Who are you?" He was suspicious but at the same time he still trusted her.
"I'm Anne. The same girl that you knew years ago but things have changed. I have so much to explain but first let me show you that that memory is real since I guess you haven't been back to the treasure chest in years." Anne then leaned down and waved her hand over the lower part of the tree and the little silver handprint appeared then disappeared under her hand, which completely covered it. The spot in the tree opened just like in Max's memory. "See it is real now if Iz or one of the others was with us I could show you that only you and I can open it but that will have to come later if necessary. Why don't you take the box out and open it, then you'll see the memory is real."
Max took out the box and saw a tape player behind it at took that out too. He opened the box and looked inside. "My jeep I thought I had lost it years ago. The crystal."
"See it is real. Look, a picture of all of us. I didn't know you had a copy. Your mom, my mom and Liz's mom all took pictures of all of us together that day." Max looked at the picture and continued to recall that day. There they all were standing in a little group and he was holding Anne's hand. "In the flash you didn't hear the song I made for you but do you sometimes find yourself humming a tune and not knowing were it came from?"
'Yes the same tune for years," Max was starting to believe starting to trust.
"That's the one I made for you," with that Anne pushed play on the tape player amazingly it still played and a soft song played on a piano came from the player.
"That's it, that's the song. But I don't understand what does all this mean and why didn't I remember all these years?"
"I don't think you were supposed to, things were planned out for us a long time ago and we were supposed to live our lives and not dwell on certain things until it was time."
"How do you know all this? Who are you?"
"I'll try to explain. I started having dreams a long time ago and when I turned eighteen they have happened every night. In the dreams I remember past lives and something that happened a long time ago. Also I get glimpses into things that are going to happen, bad things. When you came to earth, and yes I know you is an alien. When you came to earth, there were two pilots, two protectors (Nasedo and Kal), two caregivers, and two teachers on board along with the two sets of pods. Now the pilots and caregivers were killed on impact. The caregivers and one of the teachers along with Nasedo were the ones taken to area 51 after the crash. The other teacher went into the desert to prepare your pod chamber while Kal went back with Nasedo after he escaped and rescued you. The teacher's name was Brom; he was injured but able to move well enough still. Once your pods were in place Kal and Nasedo took the other set of pods to New York to keep safe and Brom stayed behind. But his injury was pretty serious so to stay alive and maybe heal he had to put himself in stasis, if he was going to implement the back up plan he and Zan had come up with. See Brom was a teachers of Zan's, yours, and later and advisor to Zan and they had come up with a back up plan to still be able to fight off Kivar is something like the crash and the bad set of clones happened. What they hadn't planned was Brom being so badly injured and not healing while in stasis. Brom came out of stasis two years before you four hatched, if you will. His goal was to find the four soul mates that were here on earth. See reincarnation is real. On Antar they have the technology to detect and track souls and see the connection between souls. This technology to detect souls allowed them to capture the four of your souls and reincarnate you into these bodies along with a pair of clones. Now they chose earth to come to because Brom knew that at least four souls that were closely connected to you Michael and Isabel were going to be born here. That is also why your hatching was delayed so that you could be the same age as your soul mates. Anyway when Brom came out of stasis he used one of his powers to detect the children that had a connection to you and found little Liz, Maria, Alex, and even Kyle. He went to each of them in secret and changed them a little using another of his powers and a little alien technology. He sped up there evolution so to speak so that as they aged they would change and be able to develop powers with the right guidance. When he had finished with Liz, who he thought was your soul mate and he was partially right, he realized he wasn't going to make it that he would have to pass on his knowledge and powers to another to become your teacher. That's 'when he detected me. I was visiting Liz and when he came to me in the middle of the night he realized he had made a mistake and I was more connected to you than Liz, I'll explain all that later. Well I was already slightly more genetically advanced so it was easy for him to change me a little more and put all his knowledge into me before he went off into the desert and died. The knowledge and powers were set up to come out slowly over the years so I wouldn't be overwhelmed when on my eighteenth birthday all was revealed to me. I know this is a lot Max but you know it is true. I'm here to prepare us all for the coming battle. If we are going to make it we have to work together and fast. I have a lot to teach you all and over the next two days we have to bring the others in on this and then the training has to start."
Max stared out of her half because he was in shock and half because she seemed to glow with energy unlike anything he had seen before. He had trained himself to be able to tell the difference between a mind warp and a real memory or experience and he kept have memories come back that were definitely real. He remembered doing 'magic tricks' with Anne that summer she came to visit, they were using powers and changing things. "I believe you and I'm starting to remember that summer pretty well."
"You do?" Anne was so happy, she had been so worried that he wouldn't remember and wouldn't believe her and she would have to waste precious time convincing him.
"So you are melded to Brom who was our teacher. So you are a hybrid too."
"In a way but not as much as you I'm more of a 30/70 mix while you are 50/50."
"So what can you do exactly? I mean what powers do you have? And could you tell me more about the training?"
"My powers are limited right now but will grow as we train and as the rest of you get stronger so will I. Right now I can do the basic manipulation of molecular structure, I help unlock memories, telepathy, empathy, and I can form a protective bubble or shield around things. The training is easy once we get everyone in on it. Basically it will involve us all connecting and then once everyone's powers awaken we have to work on strengthening them and learn to use our individual powers together."
"Okay so what's the next step from here?"
"Well before we can even tell the others we need to begin to wake the mother crystal so that once we convince the others we can get all of us together and wake our individual crystals. See in a way they are alive and all of them have been completely dormant except mine. My crystal had to be awake in order for me to get my powers and memories."
"I get that. We dealt with a living crystal already last year. This ones safe right?"
Anne chuckled at the expression on Max's face, "Yes perfectly safe it is kind of a computer but so much more too. You'll understand once we wake her up. Which we should probably do as soon as possible but not here it would draw attention."
"Okay why don't we go back to Michael and my place Michael won't be home till late, after work he and Maria have a date."
"Okay but don't you maybe have something to do?" She was prying she wasn't sure if there was currently something between Max and Liz or not.
"Nope it is my day off," he was just matter of fact about it, oblivious like most boys.
Just then Anne's phone rang, "It's Liz hold on. Hi Liz what's up?"
"Hey Anne where are you and Max now?"
"Oh we are at the park, kind of in the middle of our tour I guess."
"Oh okay, well do you think you guys could head back now? My mom found out you re here and of course wants to see you and talk about you staying with us for a while and all."
"Okay we are on our way back. Bye." She hung up after Liz said bye. "Okay so we have to head back but we should wake that crystal tonight do you think we could do it later."
"Sure," Max had such an incredible smile.
"Well what should we tell Liz so she won't want to tag along or so she will be willing to let me go?"
"I don't know. A date maybe. "
"That won't hurt her or make her jealous? "
"Well she and I have been over for awhile she has been on several dates and not worried about me."
"Okay just don t put me in the middle of anything now okay."
"Sure Anne. It s just right now that is the only thing that I can think of that will keep Liz from coming."
"Fine but you are the one to tell her okay."
"Fine by me."
Anne would love to actually be going on a date with Max. She remembered the truth about them he didn't and it was hard not to tell him or show him what they really were to each other. All in good time she hoped, but maybe that was all the past and he was supposed to be with Liz now. Anne had so much to think about, the fate of this world and another and the future of her love life.
The two returned to the Crashdown. There she played the good relative (she was a good relative she just had other things to do). She gave hugs and kisses to her aunt and uncle and agreed to stay with them until she found a place of her own. Max didn't leave her side and when dinner was mentioned he jumped in with,
"Oh if you guys don't mind I wanted to finish giving Anne the tour and take her to dinner."
Liz almost fell over because she realized it was some kind of date and it stung a little. Not only that Max was going out with someone but also it was her cousin. Anne sat back, freaked Liz would protest or her aunt would, that they would want her to stay home. They were fine with Max's plan, even if Liz was mad at her at least they were moving ahead with the plan. So after an hour of catching up and Max and Anne seeing Michael pick up Maria the two left to 'finish the tour,' they really went straight to Max and Michael's with the mother crystal in tow.
Once there they moved the coffee table to have a clear area to work.
"There's not much involved, just get you crystal and come back here," Anne responded to Max's look of what next. Once Max had his crystal, "okay put it on and stand right in front of me. Hold the mother crystal in on hand and take my hand in the other." Anne put her hand under the one Max was holding the mother crystal with. "Now concentrate, try to hear the crystal. Feel the one your wearing tune into the vibrations you know how." The two concentrated and slowly the mother crystal started to glow and Max no longer heard Anne's voice but her thoughts telling him to stay calm and listen. Then the whole room was engulfed in the light from the mother crystal and the two heard a voice. "My precious children I was sent to teach you all you would need to know but now there is no time for complete history lessons and battle strategies that would help you in the battle against Kivar that is inevitably coming. There is some information that you do need to know about the past and once the others are fully awakened the skills for battle are going to have to be learnt quickly and efficiently. Now watch and learn who you once were even before Antar," It had been the mother crystal talking and now Max and Anne began to get flashes of themselves in times long ago always battling a great evil always doing good. Sometimes they were on earth sometimes it was obviously another planet, they weren't even the same sex they were now respectively, but one thing was constant they had a relationship beyond companions in battle and even friends. In the end that is all the got was flash after flash of them making love and then in kiss after kiss. The mother crystal said one last thing before quieting down as the flashes of kisses was still going, "Go now awaken the other and begin the lessons time is short and stay together."
The light went away and Anne and Max found themselves embraced kissing passionately. There was something that felt so right about it that even after they realized what was going on they both hesitated to part but they did.
"Okay do you have any idea what this all means?"
"Like I said all of us are connected, well I mean the eight of us not every living thing. We have gone through many lives together except you last one it was only the four of you there but Brom knew that in order for yours and his plan to work there would need to be four humans, well five now which may end up being a problem. Anyway that is why he began to wake the five of us up, Kyle was a back up but with what happened with Tess's betrayal we need a second back up."
"But what about that whole you and me thing? I always thought Liz was my soul mate she felt like she was. "
"And she is in a way. See they are certain people that started out at the beginning of time one soul split in two, two people made for each other, soul mates. That was you and I. Michael and Maria are the same along with Isabel and Alex. Liz is much younger than us; her soul was born as an offshoot of mine. The easiest way to explain it is that at a certain point I had lived so many lives that my soul was too big for one body so I was born with a twin sister who took part of my soul with her but became a separate person. Well this thoroughly confused you in many lives and you went back and forth between us sometimes in the same life but usually it was one life with me and another with Liz. Tess came in about eight lives ago, you ended up being born long before either Liz or I and fell in love with Tess and she has been following you ever since only living two lives where she was good."
"Alright so let me get this straight both you and Liz are my soul mates?"
"Um, in a way. I'm the original I have the imprint of all the past lives going back to when we were created but Liz only took an imprint of the two lives before she was born and a clean slate for the rest of her soul if you will. Remember this is all representational I have a feeling there is no real way to explain what goes on with our souls from life to life this is just how I understand it and can explain it. So if you really love Liz in this life and once you get to know me don't love me and just feel that connection you should try to make it work with Liz. Remember Max destiny doesn't matter if you aren't happy with who you are and what you are doing with your life. It is your life and you choose who you love, the past doesn't choose it for you."
This girl was so amazing; Max felt a strong connection to her and an attraction. He did love Liz but he had to give Anne a chance too. Part of him told him if he didn't he would regret it. "You're right and I'm not going to rush anything here, but right now we should probably focus on getting the others involved in this whole business of training."
"Yeah," Anne was relieved but scared too. She really did care about Max and what if she couldn't deal with him not choosing her. She couldn't let that happen no matter what she couldn't let feelings interfere with what was important. "Okay so we need to get everyone together to start the process. Maybe you could call a meeting at the Crashdown for tomorrow night and we can tell everyone. Except I think we need to tell Iz first so she can think about bringing Jesse in on this."
"Sounds like a plan. When did you want to tell Iz?"
"Tonight if possible, plus I'm eager to see her. I've missed her a lot."
"Alright I'll give her a call, why don't you get a drink?"
"That sounds good I'm pretty thirsty do you want anything?"
"Just grab a Snapple, Michael always has a bunch in there."
"Okay,"
Anne was felt like things were moving in the right direction. Maybe life would end up being good in Roswell, aliens and all.
