Rath walks over towards the humans that know about him. He smiles at Liz and looks her up and down, saying, his New York accent heavy. "Hey, babe. You lookin sweet!"
Liz gives it a weak smile, wondering if she could take advantage of Rath. Maria's jaw drops, can't believing what she's hearing. Rath? The man who looks and is the love of her life, is flirting with her best friend? Could Michael also do the same thing? She shakes her head inwardly. No, she says firmly to herself. He wouldn't do anything like that...yet by looking at Rath's smittened face...could it be true? She and Spaceboy were going to have to have a talk. If she ever gets out of here! Out of the corner of her eye, she sees her mother making her way towards her, Liz, Alex, and Kyle. Maria looks away. She knows by the expression on her mother's face, she wasn't going to be able to stop her from doing whatever she was going to do.

Amy DeLuca taps the shoulder of whom she thinks is Michael Guerin. Rath turns around, surprised. What would an old woman want with him? Amy crosses her arms and says, "Michael. Get out of this Gym, before I throw you out. And, how could you do that to Principal Hamiliton and Mr. Hogward? Don't you have any respect at all? And, here I thought you and my daughter would be good for each other. Well, you're wrong. You do not have my permission at all to see my daughter. If you even come near her, I will personally ensure you won't be able, too." Maria's jaw drops. She can't believe she's heard that! Before she could tell her mother that this boy isn't Rath; Rath just smiles and says, "Listen, grandma. If you're daughter happens to be this chick here." Rath indicates Liz. "Then, you can come after me if you want. If not..then you have nothing to worry about." Amy DeLuca's eyes widen in shock. What was going on here?

Tess looks at Nicholas, measuring him. Could she destroy him? The shield was still around Nicholas, and he was growing weak trying to hold it. Michael and Max are trying to break through, but it's take a long time to do so. Were Lonnie and Rath at the Gym now? Was anyone hurt? Tess wonders about Liz, Maria, Kyle, and Alex. Were they alright? Even though she wasn't too fond of Liz and Maria...she didn't want to see them killed. Where was Isabel? Thoughts and emotions flashed before her...struggling to get up, Tess leans her body against the wall, trying to regain as much strength as possible. Her head is still throbbing. Tess touches her forehead, her hand trembling. She couldn't heal a wound like this. She needed Max.

Isabel falls to her knees, her whole body shaking from what just happened. She looks at Lonnie's dead body, seeing the small triumph smile on her pale face, and Isabel closes her eyes. What was she going to now? Her breathing starts to contract, and her eyes fill with tears. Isabel thinks back to the memories she now has. Did she really do those awful things? Did she hate Max and her mother that much? Isabel opens her mouth to sob, but not a sound comes out. She shakes her head, straightening her shoulders. "No," Isabel whispers to herself. "No, I will not cry." Isabel takes a deep breath and stands up, looking into Lonnie's face, Isabel vows, her voice loud, trembling, but firm.
"I will never be like you, Vilandra."

Isabel runs towards her bedroom door, and opens it quickly. Racing down the hallway towards the guest bedroom, remember hearing Tess' scream, she knocks furiously.
"Tess! Tess! Are you alright?"

Max, Michael, and Tess turn to hear a pounding knock on the door and hearing Isabel's frantic voice. Tess quickly opens the door, her breathing irregular. Isabel looks at Tess' bruised face and her eyes widen. Isabel see's Nicholas, and anger fills her...remembering. She shakes her head, trying to focus.
"Isabel." Max calls, not looking at her, but concentrating on breaking through Nicholas' shield. "Get to the school as quickly as possible, and help Tess out of here. Rath and Lonnie are there right now."
Isabel shakes her head, helping Tess stand up. "I wouldn't worry about, Lonnie, Max."
Max and Michael frown. Max asks, "What are you talking about, Is?"
Isabel shakes her head again, not answeirng Max. "No, Max. We need to stick together. The Royal Four, remember?"
Michael turns his head quickly and says in a reassuring voice. "Isabel, go! Max and I can handle ourselves."
Isabel hesitates for a second...should she leave?
"Go!" Michael cries, his voice commanding...yet Isabel saw it in his eyes. He didn't want her to leave, but knowing it was best..Max, also looks behind him, his eyes softening towards Tess. Tess nods her head towards Max and says, "Everything will be alright." Tess grabs Isabel, and they go out the door.
Leaving Max and Michael to fend for themselves against Nicholas.

Tess felt herself getting weaker and weaker. They weren't even half way to the school. She knew she was being a burden to Isabel, but Isabel wasn't going to leave her.
"Isabel.."Tess begins, tryiing to catch her breath. "Nasedo taught me a way to get someplace in seconds. It's called phasing."
Isabel stops and looks at her, eyes narrowing. "What are you talking about?"
Tess looks up at her and says, breathlessly. "Where do you think the FBIs got the knowledge of Telekanetics, dream walking, healing, mind warps and etc? Do you think they made it up? They've studied us for fifty years..they might as well make money off of the "crazy" notions, as others would say."

Isabel nods her head. "Alright. You have a point, but what is exactly phasing."
"Phasing is where you concentrate and think of place you want to be. You must concentrate and focus. If you aren't careful, you could phase yourself into space, and that would not be a good thing." Tess takes Isabel's hands into hers and says, "Concentrate on the gym. Close your eyes, but we have to be discrete as to where we go." Isabel closes her eyes, thinking of the Roswell High Gymnasium, and in the girl's bathroom. She feels a sensation of herself spinning, her hair and dress flying up. Then she sees a flash in her mind, Isabel opens her eyes, and finds herself in the girl's bathroom. Blinking several times, Isabel looks at Tess and says her voice in awe. "It worked."
Tess nods her head, struggling to stay on her feet. She leans against the counter, catching her breath.
Isabel puts a comforting hand on Tess' shoulder. "Are you alright?"
Tess shakes her head, "No, but we need to do this. We need to rescue everyone." Tess straightens her back, her blue eyes flashing with determination. She jerks her head towards the exit. "I'll mindwarp Lonnie and Rath, while you help everyone escape."
A shadow falls over Isabel's lovely features.
"I wouldn't worry about Lonnie right now. I killed her." Isabel says, her voice soft and emotionless.

Tess looks into Isabel's tormented eyes and says, knowing what she is going through. "I never blamed you...Vilandra."
Isabel looks away, tears streaming down her face, and she slowly nods her head, her lips trembling.
Tess takes Isabel's hand and squeezes it.
"Come on. We have a world to save."

He stood back against the wall, a malicious smile spread across his face. His now, dark eyes were hot as coals, twinkling dangerously. He shakes his head, laughing at Rath. How could Zan have been so foolish to pick an idiot like Rath? The once, handsome jock, Cliff Stanely went into the shadows and transformed into Kivar, a soft, evil laugh breaking from his lips. Soon, he would have his revenge and his throne would be secure.

Rath picks up a plate of food and starts to eat it with his fingers, while walking towards and sitting, ignoring everyone and everything. The gang is wondering what to do. Kyle motions for them to lean in and listen.
"Look. Rath has a thing for Liz here." Kyle indicates Liz, by jerking his thumb at her. "So, all we need to do is distract him. And, Liz is the only one that can do it." Everyone turns and looks at Liz. Liz's doe-brown eyes widen and says, shaking her head. "No way. Not me." She looks at everyone in the group, her eyes pleading for them to understand. "I can't do it..it's too repulsive!"
Kyle rolls his eyes and purses his lips together, his patience wearing thin.
"Look here, Elizabeth. Quit being so selfish and do this for us. I'm not saying sleep with the guy, for crying out loud! Just do what you did to me. Lead him on!"
Liz looks at Kyle, her mouth slightly open. How could he say that to her? But before she could object, the door to the girl's bathroom swings open and walks out is a tall girl with long blond hair, and a long crimson dress. Isabel..or was it Lonnie..?

Isabel's heart is hammering faster and faster against her chest. She wonders why it hasn't burst out of her. She and Tess had made up the plan, for her, Isabel Diane Evans, to take on the roll as Lonnie. Please let it work, Isabel prays silently to herself, walking towards Rath, not looking at Liz, Kyle, Alex, or Maria. Hoping they couldn't tell the difference. Taking a deep breath she puts her arm around Rath's waist, leaning forward and kisses his cheek.

Show time.
