The Aliens go tot he POD Chamber
They sat in silence, looked upon oneanother with wide speculation as to what the other was here for. "I don't want to..." Isabel said, the first to make noise. Max nodded. "I know, but..." Max bgean. She quickly intervined. "Jesse won't be my husband, I'll never know him!" Isabel snapped. Max shut up. "I'm sorry but if I have to choose between you two and Jesse, or any other human for the matter, you will always win..." Max said harshly. They looked down at the ground.
Michael sighed, his ols brooding self back is full swing. "Mmmm" He sighed. they looked. "What is it?" max asked, knowing something was bothering him. Michale looked up. "If I agree, than lots of stuff won't happen, hwe're messing with reall unmessable stuff here, maxwell are you sure?" He asked. Max nodded. "Okay, than lets do ti." Michael agreed. Isabel rolled her eyes. "Let's save earth." She sighed. Max slightly smiled.
Taking a deep breath he began. "I'm going to begin the transfer, as if the granoltih was heer... when i do you two reverse to so a pull will accur. This should start a rip in the time stream, I'll jump through, it should close, and I'll beable to change everything..." Max sighed. None of them knew what it really meant or what thy could do, it was all thery.
Isabel raised her hand. Max looked at her. "We're not in class." Max smiled. Isabel put it down. "Um, what for will you be?" She asked. Michael and Max looked confused at one another. "What do you mean?" Max asked. Isabel cleared her throat. "I mean, will you be there, haven taken the place of past Max, or will you and him both be there?"
Max shrugged. "I don't know. When Future Max used the granolith he and the other me, were there, except i coudn't see me or we'd both die." Max explain, scratching his head. They all looked at each other. "What the hell did you just say?" Michael laughed, breaking the deafening silence.
Max hugged each of his family one by one. "I love you Isabel." Max said, stroking her hair gently. "I love you too." Isabel said, almost crying. Micahel and Max shared an odd, hug. "Your my brother Michael." Max said, signifing his love with out saying it. "I know, your mine too." Michael said.
Max stepped back. "I don;t know where in time I'll land, but where ever it is, I'll make enough change to stop the world from ending, i promise." Max said, He began to the energy build up. When it reached it's peak, Michael and Isabel joined in, reversing the pull.
Lighting stuck the floor and a rip began to form. Max jumped in and the rip closed. Isabel ran to Michael and cried.
In the Past
Max fell through the air, and landed hard on his side. "Crap!" Max said, rubbing his backside. He could hear music playing. "When the hell am i?" Max asked himself. "That music?" Max follwed the sound. He stood in awe in front of the school. "The Prom..." Max said softly.
Max walked in, dusty and sore. He looked through the crowed. Tess was leaving the party and heading into the hall. 'This is where the kiss happens.' max thought. A minute or so later Liz began to head the same way. Max ran to her, grabbing her. "Liz!" Max gasped. Liz stepped back. "Max? What the hell happened to you, where is your tux?" Liz asked pulling away. "Liz, I'm not from this time..." Max began. Liz pushed him off. "I'm leaving!" Liz said. "You can't make me do it again, I won't!" Liz yelled. She walked towards Tess and Past Max. Max peeked. He saw Liz, but not himself or Tess. He watched her leave. Max slowly peeked more. He could see Tess. 'wow, I really loved that dress on her...' Max thought. Watching them kiss, max realized that they were completely into one another... and that HE had made the first move. 'I wanted it to happen...' Max thought.
Max follows Past Max and Tess
He followed them for a moment and than preceded to get Liz. 'She's already seen me... I need to let her know what happened.' Max thought.
Max ran outside. Liz was crying about the kiss between Past Max and Tess. "Liz..." Max said gently. He touched her shoulder. Liz sniffled. "What went wrong?" She asked. "You got what you wanted, your together... what went wrong?" Liz asked again. Max said. "Thngs that I can not mention of, but Tess and I, we, ah..." Max had to think carefuly about his words.
"What, I just saw the two of you kissing, what more do you want!" Liz yelled. Max grabbed her. "Me and Tess make love, and Tess gets pregnant. The baby can not survive on earth, so we had to leave..." Max said. Liz shook her head no. Max had not finished.
"Your not a on earth anymore? You really did leave me..." Liz said, sadly. Max shook his head. "No... only Tess." Max said, explaining. "I need you to stop her from leaving..." Max said. Liz sat down on the curb of the road, leaning her head on her hands. "I don't understand? Why did she just leave?" Liz asked. "Alex dies... it really drives a wedge between everyone..." Max said remembering the events of HIS past. Liz looked sad, almost ready to scream.
Liz gazed up, questioning his words. "But he wouldn't have died if I hadn't changed the future, right?" Liz asked, with self-guilt in her voice. Max shook. "No, he would have anyway, because of the invasion." Max explianed, Liz nodded. "Oh..." she said.
Max continued. "When... if Alex dies, just go with what the police tell you... they're, right. In my time, you had done this big seach and blaimed the aliens on his death... when you had finished, it turned out that the police were right, he commited suicide." Max lied, Liz believed it.
"So I'm just supossed to let him become saddened to the point he takes his own life?" Liz snapped, almost blaming Max. "And why would I blame you for Alex's death?" Liz demanded. Max sighed. "In my time, we're not even friends. I sent Tess away to protect her, from you. You tried to blame the suicide on Tess and I grew angery, we haven't spoken since..." Max lied again, Liz was eating it all up.
"Max, if we're not even friends, then why did you send Tess away, and not go with her?" Liz asked, Max was stuck, she was about to catch him in a lie. "Liz..." Max was getting upset. "No, Max if you want me to destroy everything and let Alex kill himself I need all the answers, I need all the details!" Liz demanded.
Max sighed, thinking of a good answer, somthing she'd believe. "I don't want to tell you, but I'll tell you this, Maria, Alex, Kyle, Jim, Michael, Isabel and Tess are gone, dying or dead... if you don't do this, the world will end..." Max said, tearing up. Liz sighed, seeing a tatoo on Max's arm.
"What's it mean?" Liz asked. Max looked down at his arm. It was the symbol of the four square, with an extra line added in, his son. "Four suare, the fith is my son..." Max said calmly. Liz looked shocked. "Your a father?" Liz asked. Max smiled. "Yes, I am." Max said, thinking about the son he'd never even seen. But he'd have to tell Liz he had seen him. "He had his mother's eyes, and my hair, her skin and my powers..." Max said, looking as if he was remembering something. Liz looked sad. "What is it about Tess, Max, that you can't help yourself with?" Liz asked, ready to break down. Max sighed. 'Finally, I won't have to lie.' Max took a deep breath.
"When I'm around her, my every fibre tells me to touch her, to hold her. Sending her away was the most painfull experience of my life, and for months I won't talk to anyone, in fact I end up in jail... my life went down hill, alot." Max explained. Liz was begining to see the impact of her choices. "Liz, if you do this, I promise you, I'll make its so you won't ever have to do this again." Max pleaded with her, tug at her fragile heart, and showed no remorse.
