Chapter Eleven

Michael walked into the crashdown calmingly although in his mind was going a million miles per hour. He had found out about the UFO crash siting, and since he wasn't stupid though most thought he was. He had made sure that it wasn't somesoft of rumor and when he had found out that it wasn't he had got to thinking. He knew he had to come and tell Max what he had found out. Michael stopped short, looking at the scene infront of him, he almost smiled. Liz and Max were at the same spot they had been in for the last few weeks. Doing the same thing they had been doing for the last few weeks. Making out, acting all sentimental and shit. Michael was all into kissing Maria but Max and Liz...this was just distabing. In a good way. Max had been acting strangely after Tess left and to see him in this kind of mood was rather a welcoming feeling, Michael decided. He relunctantly walked over the table on the far corner where the young couple was residing.

"Hey guys" Michael greated them and raised his eyebrow when they didn't respont...he gave a small cough. That didn't seem to work, so he just went on to rambling, "So they was a crash siting last night"

That worked because Max broke away from Liz staring at him, getting his full attention. Liz gave him a small smile although Michael had a feeling that she wasn't happy, but rather sithing underneath that relaxed facade. Michael almost felt sorry for her but right now there were more important things to worry about.

"Michael, is just a rumor?" Max asked all bussiness and serious like, trying not to look at Liz.

Michael shook his head, "No...I checked out..."

"What?" Max nearly yelled, interupting Michael in midsentence. "What were you thinking Michael, you should have come to me first"
"Well you were busy" Michael said calmly, sometimes he hated the way Max acted all superior. He knew that Max was the leader and all but Michael wasn't stupid, maybe things got out of hand around him, and Michael did attract trouble but that didn't mean he was inferior to Max. Max however just stared at Michael and Michael returned his gaze.

"What did you find out?" Max asked quitely, he knew that Michael was right, he had been busy with Liz and way to attentative. Though he loved Liz, he was starting to get tired of being around Liz so much. Besides, Tess was always in the back of his mind and this UFO crash siting was an excuse he needed to find Tess and his son.

You are welcome, Michael thought out to Max, wearing a smirk.

"I think it would be better at this point if we go back to your ealier plan" Michael offered conversationally, although knowing that his suggestation was going to rock Liz's world. Max seemed to understand that Michael was trying to help him and he trully appreciated that. Michael turned to Liz, who had been sitting there quitely, "I know you think it's a bad idea but maybe learning about our past lives isn't such a bad idea"

Liz looked at Michael then at Max who tried to avert his eyes, Liz sighed knowing that Max was okay with that prospect. And considering how wonderful Max had been to her those last few weeks, how loving he was. Even if it was about Tess, Liz should not have objections.

"Okay" She agreed after a few minutes turning to Max and the two stared at each other, gazing into each other's eyes.

"Thanks Liz" Max whispered giving her a peck on the cheek, "You are the best"

Michael knew things were about to get hot and heavy in a couple of minutes so he had to leave but he wanted to make plans.
"We should have a meeting at my apartment" Michael offered, although by the looks of it neither, Max and Liz were paying much attention to him anymore, "Okay then, I am goner go"

Michael left the teenage lovers kissing again. They were definately disgusting, Michael thought before seeing Maria come out of the backroom.

"Or maybe not" Michael said to himself before rushing to Maria and pushing her out of sight and having her all to himself.
