Chapter 2a
Michael, Maria, Tess, Isabel and Alex sat around the table, wondering what they were going to do.
"Why would they leave?" Michael demanded and Maria looked at him.
"From what Naesco said, they jumped into the river, they might have gotten lost," Maria stated and Michael scoffed.
"You saw how Max acted after the message, no, I bet he did this so he wouldn't have to follow Destiny so we can go back and save our people," Michael stated and Maria looked at him in disbelief.
"Max never wanted to go back home, yes, he wanted to find out what he could about it but he never said that he wanted to go home, you and Isabel made it pretty clear that you would love to go back and see your family, you just assumed that Max would fall into line," Maria retorted and Michael scoffed.
"Max is the king, he needs to go back," Michael snapped and Maria smirked.
"Not of this planet, he isn't buddy," Maria reminded. "Max doesn't have to do anything."
"You don't know what you're talking about!" Tess jumped in, backing up Michael and Maria looked at her.
"Like hell, I watched as Max and Liz fought their attraction only to get together then for you to come along with your little 'destiny' and proceed to rip Max and Liz apart just because you wanted him for yourself, you never stopped to think about what Max wants," Maria told her.
"Max doesn't know what he wants, he is a young man who is being ruled by his hormones over that ridiculous girl!" Naesco snapped and Maria stood up and made her way over to Naesco and poked her finger in his chest.
"It's thanks to that 'ridiculous girl' that you even found them three!" Maria snapped. "If Max hadn't saved Liz, Liz would have never found out about that picture where you killed a man and left your little signature on it, it's thanks to Liz that we found out about Toloposky, she asked Alex to help him. Liz gave up everything to keep them safe. You were the one who left Roswell!" Maria exclaimed. "You didn't even stop to think that they would be in Roswell, face it, if it wasn't for Liz getting shot, you wouldn't have found Max."
"Like hell!" Tess snapped as she stood up. "Max and I have a bond," Tess stated with a toss of her head and Maria sniggered.
"So, where is Max right now? If you and Max have a bond, you should be able to tell where he is, so, if you know where he is, why don't you go and find him?" Maria asked and Tess narrowed her eyes.
"He won't let me in," she remarked and Maria nodded.
"Good boy Max, keep the she-devil out," Maria praised to the image of Max in her head, causing Tess to glare harder at her and Alex to bite back a snigger while Isabel and Michael looked at Maria like she had grown another head.
"Maria, I know you are upset but you have to admit, Max and Liz don't belong together," Isabel told her and Maria laughed.
"Are you kidding?" Maria choked out. "I have never seen two people more than perfect for each other, they are like Romeo and Juliet reincarnated," Maria pointed out.
"Max is meant for me!" Tess stated and Maria looked at her.
"If he was meant for you, why didn't he wait for you? Why did he go for Liz? Simple, he loves Liz, he doesn't do blondes hoes like you."
"Bitch!" Tess snapped and Maria nodded.
"And I'm good at it too," Maria remarked, she never liked Tess and she was going to make sure that everyone knew that too.
"Max will come to me, you just watch," Tess promised and Maria scoffed.
"The only way Max would go to you if you mind warped him into be attracted to you," Maria pointed out and gasped. "You tried that and look what happened! He went straight back to Liz!"
"She is only a phase," Naesco stated and Maria smiled.
"Didn't stop him from trying to make love to her," Maria stated, twisting the knife deeper.
"WHAT?" Tess shrieked and Maria put on her sad face.
"Oh did you not know?" she asked. "Max and Liz almost made love and let me tell you something, Maxie boy was more than willing to make love to her," Maria finished with a shrug. "Guess the guy does have good taste," she murmured as she thought about it before turning to Alex. "Oh Alex, could you please be a dear and take me home?" she asked. "My head is hurting terribly from hearing the she-devil's voice for so long," Maria told him and Alex smirked.
"Come along dear, I guess I need to stop at the drug store and get some ear plugs and headaches pills while I'm at it," he told her and she nodded.
"Thank you Alex, now I know why Liz and I became best friends with you," she teased him as they both left the Crashdown, leaving the aliens behind listening to Alex laughers as he led the way to Maria's car.
"She doesn't know what she is talking about," Tess muttered, vemously. "Max would never sleep with that mousy girl."
Michael turned to Isabel. "Can you see if you can dream walk them and find out where they are so we can pick them up?" Michael asked and Isabel nodded.
"I'll do my best," she told him and he nodded too.
"We're going to go back to the house, I need to make plans to get myself into the F.B.I if I'm going to pose as Pierce," Naesco told them and they nodded as Tess and Naseco left the Crashdown, Michael turned back to Isabel.
"They will come back, right?" Michael asked and Isabel nodded.
"Oh yeah, Max will come back, he needs the responsibility," Isabel stated with confidence in her voice and with a nod.
"But he was pretty shaken up after the F.B.I and hearing the message," Michael admitted and Isabel shook her head.
"All Max ever wanted was a normal, he's sulking because he can't be normal, beside, we all knew that we were going to go home one way or another, it's about time Max faced up to his destiny. He is to be with his wife, not a human girl who won't be able to help us when it comes down to facing our enemies," Isabel stated before turning on her heels and leaving the Crashdown, leaving Michael alone, wondering if Isabel was right but couldn't stop the nagging feeling in his gut that maybe that everyone was wrong for once.
Tess and Naseco were in the Harding house. Tess was looking through a box of photographs of Max as she sat at the table. She was still furious that Max had disappeared and that Maria girl had dared to insult her, didn't she know whom she was messing with? Tess Harding, former known as Ava, the queen of Antar, the wife of Zan, who was currently missing with his human mistress.
"I can't believe that he had the nerve to leave me!" Tess exclaimed to Naseco.
"He is having a hard time accepting that he is not normal, that he has a huge responsibilities on his shoulders," Naesco told her and she scoffed.
"He should have waited for me, I waited for him why couldn't he do that?" she asked as she stood up, throwing the photo of Max and Liz smiling and laughing as they sat close together. It was obvious to anyone who looked at the photo just how much the pair of them was in love with each other but Tess couldn't see that. All she could see was a scheming mousy bitch that was ruining everything that was hers.
"He may be an alien Tess, but the guy is also human. He is letting his hormones take over his head," Naesco pointed out. "Give him time, he'll get bored with the girl and come to you, after all, men do like a blonde better than a brunette," Naesco pointed out with a smirk and Tess smiled to herself as she thought about it.
"Yes, you are right. Max will get bored with her soon as they do say it brunette for fun and blonde for life," she told him with a self satisfied smirk before glaring at Naesco. "He better give bored with her fast because I want him soon!" Tess exclaimed before sighing when a thought came to her mind. "What do I do if Max doesn't come back?" Tess demanded to Naesco and Naesco turned to her.
"We still need to fulfil our deal, if Max doesn't come back, you just have to turn to the next best thing, Michael, he'll fill the deal pretty well considering he is more than willing to follow his destiny, just leaving out getting together with Isabel," Naesco pointed out and Tess nodded.
"Okay," she told him, she didn't want to sleep with Michael, she wanted Max in her bed but she knew that Michael would fulfil it no problem.
Maria and Alex were sitting in Maria's bedroom with a tub of ice cream in the middle.
"You are the best Alex, totally the best," Maria told him as she scooped up a spoonful of ice cream and placed into her mouth, closing her eyes as she savoured the taste of it melting down her throat. Alex laughed in amusement.
"I have to be, you and Liz taught me the best remember," Alex told her and Maria nodded.
"Yep, took quite a while, but you, Alex, are our best subject that was actually successful," Maria, stated with a tip of her head and Alex laughed.
"And what other projects that you and Liz worked on?" he asked and Maria smiled.
"Getting Mr Parker to act like a monkey," Maria admitted and Alex laughed as he scooped up a spoonful of ice cream and placed it into his mouth.
"You didn't," he told her and she nodded.
"We did actually, we tried to hypnotize him and get him to act like a monkey but it didn't work," she explained and Alex shook his head.
"No wonder, you need a degree in it for it to work," Alex told her before laughing, causing her to roll her eyes.
"It isn't that funny," Maria, scolded him before smiling at her best friend. Alex felt his smiling sliding off his face when he thought back to why he was at Maria's house.
"Do you have a bad feeling?" Alex asked as he looked at his best friend.
"You mean that foreboding feeling in the pit of my stomach that is now curling like a coil?" she asked and Alex nodded. "Yep, I have a feeling that we've haven't heard the last of this," she told him.
"Do you think Max and Liz are okay?" he asked and Maria nodded.
"Yes," she told him with conviction and he looked at her. "Don't ask me how I know, I just know in my heart that Liz is okay and if Liz's okay then it means Max is okay. I just know it Alex," she told him and he nodded.
"Note to self, when they get back here, get to know Max better," he told himself and Maria laughed.
"Same here, it's a shame though, all those time we've spent with Max and we barely know him," she told him and he nodded.
"He's a good guy, he saved Liz's life which is something I will be in debt forever," he told her and she nodded too.
"God Alex, if we had lost Liz that day…" she trailed off and Alex scooted round to wrap an arm around her shoulders and hugged.
"Don't, Max saved her and she is alive," he told her and she nodded as she pushed her previous thought to the back of her mind, refusing to dwell on what could have happened.
"You're right," Maria told him and he nodded. "What are we going to do about Tess, Michael and Isabel, not to mention Jim and Kyle, they must be freaking over the fact that Max and co is an alien," Maria told him and Alex sighed.
"We just need to give them time, we both needed time to understand it so give them time. If they seem to be having a problem with it, we can go and visit them and help them understand the aliens," Alex reassured her and Maria nodded.
"You're right," she told him and Alex cracked a grin.
"Now, there's something I haven't heard in ages! I better write this down so I don't forget it!" he told her and got a pillow whack on the side of his head for his troubles while Maria laughed.
Meanwhile, at the Parkers, nothing was going smoothly there.
"I can't believe her!" Nancy snapped. "We told her to take it slow with this guy and she runs away with him!"
"Nancy," Jeff started.
"God, I have told her over and over again to stay away from him! To find some other guy to have fun with," she snapped and turned to Jeff. "Mark my words, she will know nothing but heartbreak with that Evans boy," she warned and Jeff sighed.
"Nancy, Liz and Max do care for each other," Jeff told her and Nancy's face crumpled.
"God Jeff, what is happening with our daughter?" Nancy asked and Jeff sighed.
"I have no idea," Jeff admitted as he pulled his wife into a hug, she wrapped her arms around his waist and they both looked out of the window, staring at the moon shining brightly in the sky.
"God Phillip, our son is pulling away from us!" Diane cried as she pressed a hand to her mouth, trying to stop the sobs from coming through, Phillip just wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into a hug.
"I know," he whispered as he stroked back her blonde hair, hoping to god that Max would contact them soon and come back home where he belongs.
TBC
Don't think Michael will be like the thoughtful Michael in this story, he will be pretty much like Max when he was with Tess, a complete jerk who deserved a kick up his A$$.
So, what did you think?
