AU- Thanks for all who reviewed! I am going to continue the story!

Summary- Michael and Maria finally have a healthy relationship. But when Michael is offered the chance of going home will he take it?

Disclaimer-own nothing

………………………………

Michael- Maxwell this better be important. I had to miss my hockey game just to come to this stupid meeting. Where are Maria, Liz, Alex, and Kyle?

Max- This is an alien issue.

Michael- since when has that stopped them from helping us?

Max- This is different.

Max did not have to say anything else, just by looking around the room he could tell what the meeting was about. Isabel sat in a corner trying her best to get away from everyone else crying. On the other side of the room was Tess who had a big smile on her face that Michael just wanted to slap off…..didn't she realize Isabel was hurting and how hurt Liz, Kyle and Maria……how was he suppose to tell her.

Max- We found away home.

Michael simply nodded.

This was exactly what he wanted right? To get off this stupid planet and get away from stupid humans. Except now, one of those stupid humans was the girl he loved.

Pushing his pain to the side Michael walked over to where Isabel was sitting and sat down next to her. When she turned to look at him, it surprised him how vulnerable she looked. Her mascara was running leaving two small black trails down her face, her red lipstick was smeared a little and worst of all her beautiful eyes held pain. As gentle as he could Michael grabbed Isabel's shoulder and pulled her towards him.

Next Day

Crash down

It was lunch time and the crashdown was packed with hungry customers, crying babies, and a fighting couple who had obviously just broken up or at least were about to.

Putting her best fake smile on Maria walked toward a table where a family of 6 sat.

Maria- What can I get you?

The woman- Umm.. We will have 6 alien blasts.

Maria- I will be right back with them.

After turning away from the family Maria's smile quickly turned into a grimace…wearing high heels while waiting tables was not a good idea. Walking behind the counter she handed the order to the cook and her on and off again boyfriend Michael.

Michael- When does your shift end?

Maria- In five minutes. Why?

Michael- I need to talk to you.

Maria- Ok. How about we meat up at your place?

Michael- Ok.

Michael's apartment

Michael and Maria sat on the couch in Michael's apartment lost in their own thoughts.

Michael- Maria….

Maria- Yeah.

Michael- We found away to go home.

Maria- You mean home as in up there home?

Michael- Yes.

Maria- Are you going?

It had never occurred to him if he would stay or not…he always thought that when the day came for him to go home he would go not questions asked. But that was before he met Maria. Now he did not know what he was going to do.
