What if Max, Isabel, and Michael waited for Tess to hatch?

Max, Michael, Isabel and Tess were at the Crashdown. Everyday after school they would all go to the Crashdown so, Max could get a glimpse of his precious Liz Parker. He was always too nervous to talk to her though. He just worshipped from afar.

None of them remembered exactly where they came from or why they were on Earth. So, they just hid in Roswell and acted like any other human being.

Liz walked over to their table placing their orders in front of them. "Ok, I got two Will Smiths, an alien blast, and one yogurt with extra sugar. Can I get you anything else"? Liz asked. "No" they all answered. Max continued to smile and stare at Liz while she walked away. Isabel and Tess rolled their eyes. Everyday they had to come and watch Max drool over Liz. It was enough to make you want to puke.

A huge commotion was heard in the corner of the restaurant. "I want the money now"! a man screamed pulling out a gun and firing it towards the other end of the restaurant. "Liz"! Maria DeLuca screamed in horror.

Max looked at Liz who was laying on the floor. "Tess, mindwarp everyone while I go heal Liz" Max ordered. "Max, there's too many people for me to mindwarp" Tess answered. "So, only mindwarp some of them. Just do it now" Max said before running over to Liz.

Tess closed her eyes and concentrated. She entered as many people's mind's as possible. Max bent over Liz opening her waitress uniform. Blood was pouring out of her body. "Liz, you have to look at me". Liz weakly opened her eyes and looked at Max. Placing his hand over the gun shot wound they instantly connected. When Max picked his hand up from Liz's stomach the wound was gone. It was like she never got shot at all.

"Maxwell, we have to leave" Michael said pulling his friend away. "I'll explain everything later. Please don't say anything" Max said before running out of the Crashdown. Maria walked over to Liz and asked "Are you okay"? Liz had a confused look on her face. "I think so" she answered. Liz was curious to know what Max Evans did to her. How was she suppose to lie if she didn't even know what happened.

Max, Michael, Isabel, and Tess were in the New Mexico desert. At this moment they had to be somewhere they felt comfortable, a place where no one could find them. All of them sat in silence thinking about what Max just did. "How many people did you mindwarp"? Max asked breaking the silence. "Only about 10 people" Tess answered disappointed in herself. "10! That's less than half the people who were in the restaurant" Michael exploded. "That's better than nothing. What would've happened if I hadn't been there"? Tess shouted back at her brother. Isabel sighed in frustration. "What we have to do is figure out what to tell Liz" Isabel said. Michael, Tess, and Isabel looked at Max for guidance. As if he knew what to do. "Maybe we should tell Liz the truth" Max suggested. "Maxwell, what happens if Liz tells her friend Maria about us? Or worse she tells someone in the government and we all end up being experimented on" Michael said. Max didn't want to think of the ever happening. "Liz isn't like that. She's different" Max answered back. "Yea, sure. When you tell her she won't be scared at all. In fact she'll be thrilled" Michael said sarcastically. Max rolled his eyes at Michael's comment. "Max, what happened to that rule you made? Don't tell anyone. Now you're going to tell Liz everything after we've been able to hide without anyone knowing our secret" Tess said. "Well, what else can I do? I can't avoid her. It's only a matter of time before she asks me questions" Max said. "Why don't we just kill her" Isabel said. Tess giggled at Isabel's suggestion. Max gave them both a cold glare. "Maxwell, it's 3 against one. You're not telling Liz" Michael said. Max sighed. He didn't see why they were so afraid to tell Liz. She was different. They could trust her more than anyone. "None of you can understand this but, I've wanted to tell Liz about me for the past 10 years. I don't care what any of you say. I'm telling her the truth" Max said.

Michael walked away in frustration. No matter what Max said Liz couldn't be trusted. It was only a matter of time before she told someone and they'd be put to death.

Liz was in the Crashdown thinking about Max. What did he do to her? One minute she was near death. She could literally feel her life slipping away. Then the next minute she opens her eyes and Max is bending over her. Somehow he repaired the wound made by the bullet.

The paramedics were still in the restaurant making sure everyone was alright. There were no injuries. Liz refused to be checked out by them. She kept telling everyone she just hid because she was so scared. She told them when she fell she accidentally broke ketchup.

The bell to the front entrance rang. Liz looked to see who was entering the restaurant. Sheriff Valenti walked in taking off his sunglasses. "Sheriff" Deputy Hanson said rushing over to him. Liz strained to hear what they were saying to each other.

Sheriff Valenti walked over to Liz. "Ms. Parker, I have some questions to ask you". Liz nodded her head. "Can you tell me what happened here" ? Valenti asked. "Well, um...I was standing over there" Liz said pointing to the corner of the restaurant. "And...I really don't remember what happened, Sheriff". "Can you try to remember. It's very important that I know what happened". Liz nodded again. It was very clear she wouldn't be able to stall until she was able to talk with Max. "Ok, um...I was standing over there and...when the gun went off I...I hid" Liz explained. Jim nodded his head. "Some people said they saw her get shot. They said a boy about her age went up to her and brought her back to life" Hanson said. "Really? Ms. Parker, how do you explain that"? Valenti asked. "I didn't get shot, Sheriff. I hid when the gun went off. No boy came up to me" Liz lied. Hopefully they would believe her. "Thank you, Ms. Parker. We'll ask you more questions later" Valenti said leaving Liz.

As Valenti was walking away Hanson rushed up to him. "She's lying, sir. Some people said she got shot" Hanson insisted. "I know she's lying. I want to know why though. We'll continue to interview people. Go get some more statements" Valenti ordered. "I'm right on it, sir" Hanson said walking away.

Valenti was about to walk out of the Crashdown when he noticed a table in the corner of the restaurant. Jim walked over to the table. There were a bunch of tobasco bottles and packets of sugar on it. Valenti looked back at Liz. She was looking at her uniform, sticking a finger through a hole. There was more to this story and he was determined to find out what really happened.
