Chapter 24 - Nothing's Ever Completely Forgotten
Previously:
"What happened? Marie just..." but Maria didn't get to finish what she was saying because Michael kissed her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he pulled her closer to him. Then suddenly they heard, "What in the world!" Pulling apart they saw Mike and Travis standing in the door way, looking shocked and completely grossed out.

"We can explain!" Maria said trying to get them to understand.
"You…..and…...you……were….." That was all Travis could get out before he put his hand over his mouth and ran out of the room. Mike stood completely still, eyes wide and mouth hanging open, staring at the pair in disbelief.
"What's wrong with him?" Jason asked about Travis as he came into the kitchen, oblivious to what had just happened. "What's going on?" he asked when he saw the looks on the remaining three.
"Nothing. Nothing's going on. Nothing happened." Michael said trying to figure out what to do.
"Nothing happened!" Mike said finally regaining his voice.
"Yes, nothing happened." Michael stated firmly.
"Me and Travis walked in on them….." Mike began to explain.
"Don't say it!" Travis said as he came back into the room looking pale.
"This is not good! This is not good!" Maria muttered to herself as she paced in front of the sink. Just then Emma and Anna returned with Ava Marie.
The girls had barely stepped foot into the kitchen when their powers started working overtime. Suddenly Emma was curled up in a ball on the floor screaming and crying from all the intense emotions and the twins were grabbing their heads in pain from the many thoughts coming from their friends.
Being the only one still with rational thought, Jason grabbed Travis and shook him until he listened. "Trav, get Emma out of here now!" Travis slowly nodded, touched his sister, and teleported back to their home. At least Jason hopped he went back home. He's so out of it he could end up anywhere. Jason thought, but knew it was too late to worry now. Jason then got Mike's attention and had him help calm the twins down and gain control of their own minds again.
While all of this was going on Michael had grabbed Maria and snuck out the back door. They got into the car and flew out of town. "Where are we going?" Maria asked when she realized they had just left Roswell.
"To the Pod Chamber." he said not taking his eyes of the road.
"What are we going to do?" she asked freaked out.
"I don't know." he said mentally kicking himself for being so stupid. What was I thinking? They were right in the other room! Michael thought.
"I can't believe this." Maria said from her place on the floor of the chamber a while later.
"I'm sorry." Michael said from beside her.
"For what?" she asked confused.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't kissed you none of this would have happened. We might have been able to find the crystal and get back to our own time, but no, because of me, we're stuck here forever." he said still angry with himself.
"Why'd you do it? Kiss me I mean, when they were right in the next room?" Maria said, asking the question that had been plaguing her since it happened.
"Marie kissed me. I was so disgusted and mortified that I was kissing Isabel's daughter. All I knew was I needed to get that thought out of my head. And then, like an answer to my prayers, you walked in." Before Maria could respond Travis appeared in front of them.
"What do you want?" Michael asked already on the defensive.
"I was told to come and get you." he said obviously still picturing the scene in his head.
"We're not going anywhere." Michael said.
"I was told not to come back unless you two were with me." he said disgusted that he was forced to retreive them.
"Who told you that?" Maria asked.
"The adults." Travis said as if it was a stupid question.
"We're defiantly not going now." Michael said.
"We'll go." Maria said calmly.
"What? Are you insane? You want to go back there? Who knows what they'll do to us?" Michael said shocked.
"They are our family, they're not going to hurt us." she said.
"Fine." he said giving in. Travis grabbed hold of both of them, then the Granolith Chamber disappeared and was replaced with the Guerin living room where everyone was sitting around waiting.
"What is this some kind of intervention?" (P) Michael asked when they appeared.
"We know who you are." (F) Michael stated.
"Well I'd hope so. You wouldn't be a very good father if you didn't." Jason said, which received him a smack on the back of the head from Anna.
"What do you mean? Aren't they Zan and Beth?" Anna asked confused and worried.
"We'd better explain." Liz said.
Flashback
"It was awesome guys! I knocked him out cold!" Michael said.
"I mean, I kissed him he didn't kiss me." Maria said at the same time.
"Who did you knock out?" Maria asked realizing what he had said.
"Who'd you kiss?" Michael demanded at the same time. Everyone shared confused glances, and Ava gasped.
"It's happened." she said.
"What do you mean it happened? What happened?" Kyle asked his wife.
"Do you all remember when Amy was kidnapped by The Following?" Ava asked.
"Yeah, that was the same time Michael and Maria found the crystal, but what does that have to do with this?" Alex asked.
"It has everything to do with this, because that wasn't Michael and Maria that helped us rescue Amy." Ava said.
"Of course it was us, we remember it." Maria said.
"And we remember them being there." Isabel said.
"You only remember it, because I've made you believe that's what happened." Ava said upset that she had be devceiving them.
"What?"
"Why?"
"How could you?"
"We trusted you." was their alarmed replies.
"Would you guys give her a chance to explain. I'm sure she wouldn't have done this unless there was a good reason." Kyle said defending his wife.
"Thank you for believing in me, Kyle." Ava said happy that someone still trusted her.
"You better have a good excuse." Michael said angry.
"I've dreaded and looked forward to this day for years. I knew you would be angry and possibly want to hurt me because of it, but I made a promise and I intended to keep it." she said.
"Who'd you make a promise to?" Liz asked.
"All of you." Ava stated.
"What do you mean?" Max asked.
"You asked me to make you forget and not let you know the truth until the time was right."
"And what is the truth."Isabel asked.
"It's easier for me to show you than to tell you." Ava said as she released the hold she had on them all. Suddenly a foggy feeling left the seven friends and then a feeling of clarity took it's place as all that was forgotten cam flooding back to them. They all smiled and every one but Michael and Maria started talking.
"It wasn't Michael and Maria it was Beth and Zan."
"When she froze those guards I was so amazed."
"The way he made things out of thin air was so cool."
"I was so scared when he came to the house with her almost dead."
"We're sorry we doubted your loyalty to us Ava." Liz said.
"Yeah, we should have known you wouldn't have done anything to hurt us."Isabel said.
"Wait you guys don't seem to grasp what this means." Maria said.
"What are you talking about? Of course we do, you two went to the future and your kids came to the past and helped us rescue your mother." Alex said.
"No, Alex, that's not what she means. There's a reasonMaria and I started to get our memories back." Michael said. "It wasn't Zan that punched Andon, it was me. And it wasn't Beth who didn't seem to care that her boyfreind was knocked out, it was Maria."
"Do you mean your past selves are here, now?" Max asked.
"Yes, and if memory serves correctly, your children are about to see us kissing." Michael said.
End Flashback
"So we rushed over here as soon as possible to straighten this all out." (F) Maria finished.
"Wait a minute, so your saying that Zan and Beth are in the past and the people we've been hanging out with for the past two days are actually Uncle Michael and Aunt Maria?" Emma said.
"Is this true?" Ava Marie asked (P) Michael hoping she hadn't just kissed her boyfriends' father.
"Yeah, it is." both Michaels said knowing why she asked. Instinctively both Marias grabbed their Michael also knowing the reason.
"Why did you make them forget?" (P) Maria asked Ava.
"Because we asked her to." (F) Maria said.
"Why?" (P) Michael asked.
"Because no one should know too much about their future." (F) Michael said.
"It's really nice to see you guys and all, but I know you want to get back to your time just as much as we want our kids back in our time." (F) Maria said.
"Travis, would you mind giving us a lift back to the Pod Chamber?" (P) Maria asked smiling. We're going home! She thought.
"Sure." he said as he took hold of them once more.
"Wait, we'll all go." (F) Michael said. The whole group crowded into the cars and made their way to the granolith to say goodbye to past Michael and Maria and welcome Zan and Beth back home.
