A.N. This part is kind of short sorry but I'm having a small case of writers block.

Part 4

Finally the last bell of the day rings signaling the end of the school day. Liz jogs to her locker in a rush to get the books she'd need this weekend and get home so she can change for her date with Dracula.

However as she rounded the corner to the hall where her locker resided there was the small crowd of the Pod Squad. This was not what she needed right now; in fact this was the last thing that she needed.

Slowing down her hurried pace to a calmer stride she continues somewhat reluctantly to her locker. Stopping in front of her locker she begins to turn the combination lock when Max grabs her writs rather roughly effectively ceasing any movement.

"What's going on Liz?"

"That's really none of your business." She forcibly rips her wrist from Max's grip and continues with her task.

"It becomes our business when you're jeopardizing our secret." Isabel speaks up from behind her brother.

"I'm not jeopardizing anything, I have a life outside the alien abyss, that's it. It's not like I'm shouting your secret from the rooftops of Roswell." Liz opens her backpack and grabs the books she's going to need including the books on vampires she checked out.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date to get ready for." She closes her locker beginning to walk off only to have Max grasp her shoulder turning her around to face him.

"Liz, I thought we were good again? Last night at the Crash we talked and…"

"Yea we were good…that is until I saw you outside the Crashdown sucking Tess's tongue down your throat. So after that any sweet words or promises you made have become void." Liz swings her backpack over her shoulder and turns again leaving Max standing there with shock radiating from every angle of his face.

Max doesn't even hear Michael come up behind him until the firm hand slaps his back. "She saw ya huh? You know for the first time in a long time…I'm glad I'm not you."

Isabel stands to Max's other side with a questioning look on her face. "What's going on Max? What did Liz see?"

"Maxwell here sucked face with Tess and Liz saw. In fact genius right here kissed her in front of the Crashdown." Michael explains.

"Back off Michael, it was an accident, I didn't mean to kiss her, it just felt like I was compelled too. Something was pulling me to her." Max tries to justify what he did, but it comes out a little weak.

"But wait, last night, didn't you tell me you were going to see Liz and try to fix the slight distance issue that's been there since Tess came here?" Isabel knows that Max loves Liz…even if it does have sort of a stalker quality to it.

"He did, and then he fucked up." Michael is almost giddy at Max's misfortune, he feels bad for him sure but that doesn't mean he can't take some minimal amount of pleasure when he screws up.

"You kissed Tess after you made up with Liz? In front of her parents place of business, where she was just getting off her shift? Hate to say it Max but you're an idiot, no wonder Liz moved on." Isabel leans against the wall behind her shaking her head at her brother's stupidity.

While standing there Isabel waits for one of her brothers to ask one of the two questions that has been churning around in her head since that woman cam into history class. One, how did Liz meet a guy so quickly, and two what kind of Prince comes to Roswell, New Mexico and becomes so enraptured by a local girl that he showers her with gifts not even 24 hours after meeting her? But when neither speak up she asks the questions herself.

"Iz has a point Maxwell, how did Liz find a new guy that quickly. I mean you left the Crash at what…10? 10:30 last night right?" Michael continues after Max nods. "So what did she do to get this guy to buy her expensive gifts after not even 24 hours of knowing him? Give him a blowjob or something."

"Liz wouldn't do that with a guy she just met, that's just not her." Max tells Michael through clenched teeth.

Michael raises his eyebrows in skepticism, after all he had read her journal and there were some very steamy entries, some were dreams, others day dreams, and Liz wasn't as innocent as she had everyone think.
