Summary:

This story begins when Max makes his take-a-step-back speech to Liz, at the end of “The Balance.” My story takes place during their junior year in high school. Isabel is good friends with Liz and Maria prior to Liz’s shooting. When Max heals Liz, he removes all the evidence from her uniform. Everything that happens after Max’s break up speech to Liz is also different. Their relationship evolves faster, provoking many surprising changes and revelations. Our gang will embrace new allies, discover new enemies, and overcome many conflicts. How will the pod squad and friends rise to these occasions? The fate of two worlds rests on the shoulders of our beloved group.


Prologue

Max, deep in thought somberly drives Liz home and parks the jeep. Holding hands, Max walks Liz to the ladder leading to her balcony. He follows her up.


“Max, I’m so sorry about not being able to help with the healing stones ritual for healing Michael. I just couldn’t help but, think what if it were you lying there, in the cave, possibly dying . . . Are you mad at me? You seem quiet.”


Max gazes at her brown doe eyes drinking in the trust and love he sees reflected at him. “Liz,
No, I can’t be mad at you. . . . But, I can’t promise that what happened to Michael will happen to me, because we are different. I don’t ever want to hurt you. It scares me to think of myself and what kind of danger that I could put you in. There is so much about my own heritage I have questions about and how that could endanger you. I can’t stand for anything to happen to you;


because of me, or who I am. Liz, I can’t give you normally. I think it would be best if we just take a step back now, and not be a couple,” said Max. He turns from Liz and walks toward the ladder to leave her balcony.


Liz moves closer to Max. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears, threatening to release at any moment. “Max, stop. Wait! . . . I just need to . . . I want to just remember . . .” Looking into his amber tear filled eyes she reaches her arms toward him. She wraps her arms around his neck, kissing him softly. Liz wills all of her love and acceptance for him, into that tender kiss. Max initiates a second kiss just as emotionally filled. Reluctantly he descends to the street and his waiting jeep. Max is devastated, but believes he had to sacrifice his own happiness to give Liz a chance at a normal life.


Liz hears the jeep’s engine roar to life. She is stunned while hearing the jeep sound becomes more distant, literally taking her soul mate further away . . . leaving her alone and confused, to mourn this unwanted decision.


Entering her bedroom, she takes determined steps to her bed where she flings herself on it and cries into her pillow for what seems like several minutes. Liz keeps replaying in her head, as in a video stuck in a continuous loop, Max’s words. “Liz, I can’t give you normal. I think it would be best if we just take a step back now, and not be a couple.” But we love each other. This doesn’t make any sense. Always the logical one, she thinks about what Max said to her. Reflects on what it felt like when they saw into each others souls. Liz knows they did share a secret love for each other. However, before the healing she didn’t think he noticed her. Besides the embarrassing childhood moments like the infamous cupcake dress her mother made for her when she was little. They now share something much deeper through their ever present connection: thoughts, feelings, emotions, and an awareness of each other that is unique to them. She knows how he views, loves, and even cherishes her. Liz says aloud, “Damn it Max, this is not right! I love you and you love me! So why are you making us take a step back? This is so unfair!”


Liz fumbles for her phone . . . speed dialing Isabel.


“Hi Isabel, can you come over and spend the night? I really need to talk to you and Maria. Isabel could you call Maria and invite her? I know she’s not working tonight and I could use a girl’s night tonight. Is that okay Iz, this is really important?”

Isabel replies, “It’ fine, let me tell my mom. She pauses putting her hand over the mouth piece to ask her mom, yeah sure it’s okay I’ll be right over after I pack a bag and call Maria, anything you want me to bring over Liz? Ice cream?”


“Yes, it’s one of those nights,” Liz replies sniffing tearfully.


“Yeah, sure Liz, I’ll be right over,” a concerned Isabel answers back. “See you in a few, bye Liz.”

“Bye, Isabel.” Liz sighs, and reaches for the box of tissue on her night stand and takes a tissue to wipe her eyes. She goes into her bathroom and washes her face trying to not look as if she’d been crying. She sniffs, and dries her face on a fresh washcloth deciding she looks about as presentable as she can under the circumstances. Liz readies herself to go tell her mother she invited Isabel and Maria to spend the night for girl’s night.

Nancy Parker, Liz’s mom, says “Sure honey, as long as it’s okay with their mother’s it’s okay by me. Remember, not to be up too late it is a school night, and keep the noise down when your father goes to bed.”

Isabel call’s Maria tells her something is wrong with Liz. “I just got off the phone with Liz, she sounds like she’s been crying and she needs our support, a girl’s night.

Maria replies, “Why would she be crying?”

“I don’t know for sure, but I bet it has something to do with my brother. But we’ll find out. That’s why I’m calling. Liz needs you and me to come over and stay the night and have a girl’s night.”

Maria replies, “Well okay, I’m sure Mom, won’t mind. Do you want me to swing by and pick you up in say 30 minutes? Okay, I’ll see you then Isabel.”

Maria and Isabel arrive at the Parker’s apartment and knocks only once to find a very melancholy and antsy Liz greets them at her door. Liz greets her friends and they make small talk about being happy to be invited to a much needed girl’s night. Once the girls have made it to Liz’s room, she shut and locked it behind her. Liz began to tell her friends what happened that has her so upset.

Maria asks, “Liz is this is because River Dog asked you step back from the circle to not stop the flow when we held the healing stones to heal Michael?”

Isabel tells her, “Liz that’s no reason to be so upset and crying. We all know you were just as scared and concerned for Michael as the rest of the group was. So what happened after that has you crying and looking so lost and hurt?” said Isabel.

“What happened? Where did you and Max go after we all left the reservation?”Maria asks Liz.

“Well Max drove me home. He . . . He” Liz’s lips quiver, and her eyes filling with newly formed unshed tears.


Isabel says, “So this has to do with you and Max, right?” Liz simply nods her head yes, unable to form the words. She breaks down and sobs in front of Isabel and Maria. What the hell did my brother say? Or do, to make you cry?”

Maria reaches over to grab the box of tissue and puts it on Liz’s bed as the girls each sit on each side of Liz offering their support and comfort.

Liz takes a tissue Maria offers her and takes a deep breath calming herself. Preparing her mouth to talk and hoping to stop breaking down and crying. Liz steadies herself with one more deep breathe. “His actual words to me were, ‘ I think it would be best if we just take a step back, and not be a couple’.”

Isabel says, “He actually said that to you because of what happened with Michael. That’s so stupid. Michael, is okay now. We know why that happened to Michael, there’s no danger now. What the hell is wrong with Max anyway?”

“ I only know I was the happy having a great time being on my date with Max. Then everything turned very scary, with Michael almost dying. When Michael was healed I was so happy and relieved that he was going to be okay. It was later after Max took me home when the bottom dropped out of my world. I guess that’s what being in love is. I just don’t understand, Isabel. Is this all because of what happened with River Dog at the reservation?” Liz continues, “ I just keep thinking how scared I was for Michael. I couldn’t help but wonder what if this had happened to Max. I was completely terrified. Terrified not because of him being different; but, terrified because I wouldn’t have known what to do to save his life.” Liz looks at Isabel “You got to believe me I couldn’t bare the thought of anything happening to any of you, especially not Max. Isabel, He’s a part of me now, a part of my soul. I’d die if anything happened to him. You have to believe me. Isabel, I love Max.” Liz breaks down sobbing with tears and trying to regain control of both her voice and her tears.

Isabel, comforting Liz strokes her long chocolate brown hair, offers her a tissue and tells Liz to calm down. She thinks she knows how her brother thinks and she can offer some sort of his demented perspective on why he said that to her. “Of course, he’s an idiot and is completely wrong. But, don’t worry Liz this is fixable, trust me. I know my brother. I know that Max has been in love with you for a long time, even before the shooting. I know ever since you two have fallen in love with each other. I know for a fact he is always asking me about you. He’s just being a stupid male right now, so we just need to show him the error of his flawed male thinking. That is unless you want to stay broken up, do you Liz?”

“NO! Of course not, I’m just so confused right now. I know I love him, I’m just hurt and angry. I know he loves me I see it in his eyes and in his soul. He just wouldn’t listen to me or even talk about any of this, like it was only his decision to make. I could just kick his cute hybrid ass sometimes.”


Isabel tells Liz, “You’re right he just thinks he’s being noble, sparing you from whom we are so you won’t feel stuck with him. He’s afraid that knowing and being involved with him will ruin your life, keeping you from a more normal situation. Am I right Liz, did he say something like that to you?”

“Yes he did. How did you know, Isabel?”

“I know my brother, he is very concerned and protective of you. He’d do anything for you, including sparing his own happiness if it meant you’d be happier in the long run according to him,” said Isabel.

Maria pipes up “Men are stupid!” All three girls sigh and say in unison “Yes! They are.”

Maria says, “Okay Liz.”

Isabel says, “What are we going to do about this? Are you going to just take this from him Liz? Letting him make decisions for you about your future and what you want?”

Liz, says “NO! Damn it! I want to be with Max! Just who the hell does he think he is to do that? Making decisions about what I want or whom I want in my life and in my future!”

Isabel looks at Maria and they both have that a light bulb moment gleam in their eye. They turn to look at Liz with a wicked smile plastered on their faces.

Isabel and Maria look at Liz. Maria says, “Well the way I see it, Liz. It’s time you take away that decision from Max. That is if you really want to be with him?”

Liz’s corners of her mouth turn up hesitantly. “What are you two planning, because I know that look on both of your faces?”

Maria motions to Isabel and says, “I believe this is your area of expertise. So you have the floor.”

Isabel smiles at Maria and says, “Thank You. Okay, Liz here’s the plan. You are going to make Max go crazy with jealousy and make him want to kick himself for making that idiotic statement to you and deciding things for you. What do you say, Liz. You up for the plan ?”

Liz smiles at both Liz and Maria, wiping the last remnants of tears from her face. “Okay, what am I going to have to do?” Liz smiles even bigger, “So, you’ll help me Isabel? Maria?

Maria says, “ Hey girlfriend, we got your back, don’t we Isabel?”


Isabel put her arm around Maria’s shoulders affirmatively saying, “Absolutely, Max is never going to know what hit him. Here’s the plan Liz, first off we need to make a list.”

Maria groans, “Not the List Nazi!” Maria looks up at Isabel with her hands up in defeat, “Okay, okay, I was kidding. Your not that bad . Maria decides she’ll just go and get that notepad and get started on writing that list of things to do to execute there newly forming plan for Liz to change Max’s mind.

Part 1


Isabel says, “Maria you are in charge of writing down the list.”

“Okay, Isabel I’m ready,” replies Maria.

So Isabel says, “First off, I think a make over is in order. Don’t you think so Maria?”

“Oh yes, definitely,” replies Maria..

Liz says, “Ouch, and you guys are my best friends.” “Do I really look that bad?”

“No, of course not, Liz. Your great just the way you are. But if were going to make Max eat his words, then we’re going to make you look hot enough to knock his socks off.”

Liz says, “Your going to make me over, and make me look hot and sexy?”

Maria and Isabel nodded in agreement, “Yes we are. It’ll be easy Liz, your so pretty just the way you are. We’re just going to boost your own prettiness, that’s all. We aren’t going to make you look like a rock star or anything. You’ll still be you Liz, just not hiding is all.”

“Maria, did you write that down?”

“First one on the list is make over. Okay, what about wardrobe shopping?” Maria suggests.

“OOH, yes! Great idea,” exclaims Isabel.

Liz says, “Uh, guys? How much is all this going to cost me? I mean, I like what you’re saying and all. I just know how much you both love to shop for clothes, and I just don’t spend that kind of money on my clothes or even have room for all the stuff you guys both do.”

“Don’t worry, Liz,” Isabel assures her, “ We’ll buy just a couple of key things to add to your wardrobe and the rest I can uh, make for you. You know, adjust something you already have in your closet.” Isabel hinting at using her powers casually. “Okay, what do you think about wearing leather, Liz? Or how about mini skirts, or showing a bare midriff? OOH, what about boots, Liz?”

“Hmm? I don’t know guys. I never wore anything like that before. But, I’m willing to try some stuff on. I don’t want to look sleazy, okay!? I don’t want people to get the wrong impression and think that I’m a, well you know what I mean,” Liz blushes.

Isabel, who has the malls hours memorized says, “Well, it’s 6:45 pm the mall closes at 9:30 p.m. We have time, if we hurry, to start on our list. Tonight we get essential provisions necessary for maximum effect. Tomorrow we begin to execute our plan. Shall we ladies?”



Liz grabs her purse and some of her tip money and says “Let’s do it, girls.”

Liz, Maria, and Isabel return later to Liz’s house with lots of shopping bags in hand. Liz ushers them back to her room after greeting her parents.

Nancy Parker laughs noting all the shopping bags and asks, “Girls, did you leave anything left in the mall for the rest of us to buy?”

Liz just laughs at her mom and rolls her eyes, “Of course we left stuff. Gees, mom you think we were a bunch of shop- a- holics on the loose or something.”

Isabel pipes up saying “Well Mrs. Parker, we did manage to hit quite a few great sales and we only went to a few stores tonight. So, yes we were merciful leaving lots of stores untouched. We were on a mission helping Liz look for a few specific pieces to add to her wardrobe. We’re going to give her a new look. We all thought it would be fun to give each other make overs and fashion advice. Liz volunteered to go first and trust us with her make over since neither of us have bad taste or dress weird . It’ll be fun.”

Nancy Parker says, “ I’m glad to see that you all had a good time shopping. Well, doing make overs sounds like fun, girls; but, keep the noise down okay? We don’t want a cranky Mr. Parker to deal with, now do we? Good night girls, good night Liz.”

Liz says, “Good night mom.”

Max is just getting off work from the UFO Center driving home while reflecting on his conversation earlier with Liz. Max says out loud, “I hope Liz isn’t still upset and crying.” Max is confused about how he is feeling about all of this. He parks the jeep and heads to the house using his key to open the door. Max finds his mom sitting on the couch watching an old movie. Max says, “Hi mom, I’m home now, just got off work. I was wondering, is Isabel in her room studying? I really need to talk to her.”

Diane Evans, Max’s mom, says “No honey. Liz called earlier. She sounded upset, and Isabel asked if she could spend the night over at the Parkers. Isabel said they were going to have a girls night with her and Maria. Why do you ask?”

Max says, “Well I just really needed to talk to Isabel about something, but I guess it can wait.”
Max looks visibly disappointed. He walks, with down cast eyes, to his room.

Diane says, “If it’s really important for you to talk with her, Isabel did say she’d take her cell phone and keep it on in case I needed to reach her. You could call her if you want.”


“Thanks mom,” Max says smiling as he walks to his room. Max calls Isabel. He listens to her phone ring. She answers. Max says, “Hi, Iz what’s going on? Is Liz okay?”

Isabel gives a disgusted look, putting her hand over the mouthpiece shushing the Liz and Maria. “It’s him,”says Isabel. “Yes Max what do you want? Oh, why am I spending the night at Liz’s? Well, if you must know... when my friends lives are shattered, I’m there to help them. Why do you care if I’m at Liz’s? You want to know if Liz is okay? What do you think after that talk you had with her? Look dear brother, if your calling me to get my sympathy or help or something, think again. You screwed up and now you’ll just have to deal with the consequences.” Isabel knows how to put her brother in his place.

“What do you mean consequences? Iz. Are you angry with me about what I said to Liz this afternoon? Okay, scratch that. Dumb question. Obviously you are. Can I talk to Liz, please?”

Isabel had held out the phone so Maria and Liz could hear Max. Liz shakes her head no, she’s not ready to talk to him yet.

Maria grabs the phone from Isabel. “Max Evans, you have a hell of a lot of nerve to want to talk to Liz after what you said to her this afternoon! So you want to talk to Liz? Well maybe she doesn’t want to talk to you right now. Did you ever think about how she feels for more than just one second? No I didn’t think so. Maybe if your lucky she’ll talk to you tomorrow, but only if she feels up to it. Max, it’s her decision to talk to you or not. Hey, now there’s something for you to think about between now and then, maybe she has a say in things too, what do you think about that, Max. Good night Max!” Maria pushes the end button on Isabel’s cell phone, abruptly ending the conversation with Max, leaving him dumbfounded.

Liz is a bit stunned by both Maria and Isabel’s protective attitude. Liz says, “Do you think you were too hard on him?” Obviously concerned.

Isabel and Maria both say, “ NO!” Simultaneously.

Isabel informs Liz, “ look I do love my brother. But sometimes he is so damn pig headed he doesn’t even try to see things from the other persons’ point of view, or even allow them to have one. He needs to learn a lesson here, Liz. He can not go around shutting people out like this making a unilateral decision that effects more than just him. Especially, when we all know he loves you and you love him.”

Maria pipes up “She’s right. You and Max are so right for each other and so sweet I swear I could get cavities just being around you two.”


Isabel agrees, nodding her head. “You two are meant to be together. We all know this, and now were going to make sure Max knows it, too.” Isabel says smiling with a wicked gleam in her eye.


Liz gets a concerned look on her face. “Isabel just what are you planning to do to Max at school tomorrow. Or rather, what are you going to have me do to Max?”


Isabel just smiles sweetly and says, “Just make him face some realties he won’t like, that’s all.”

“What do you mean realities he won’t like?” Liz asks.


“Well,” says Isabel, “ He needs to see that you are hot, and that other guys will notice, too. That’s why the new clothes Liz. You’re going to knock ‘em dead.”


“Wait! I don’t want to go out with other guys, or be flirting with other guys. You know that’s just not me, Isabel. Besides, Max will know that’s not who I am either. I’m just plain old mousy small town girl Liz Parker.

Isabel and Maria smile at her, “Not for long girlfriend, not for long. Besides, you won’t have to be flirting with other guys, they’ll be flirting with you.”

“Okay, what all did you guys get for me in those bags. I know you had me try on like a thousand things and you never told me what you picked out and what was decided on. I only know that I had to pay for it. You’re not going to have me look all smutty or anything? Because, there is no way I would wear anything like that, not even to a costume party. Come on guys, this is me, Liz Parker less than stunning member of West Roswell High’s student body.” Liz’s eyes fill with tears, and looks to Isabel and Maria and says, “Oh my god, I never thought of that, maybe he wanted to break it off because there’s someone else who’s prettier and sexier than me that he is interested in.”

Isabel says, “Liz I can say with absolute certainty there is no other girl that has captured my brothers heart or interest since seeing you back in third grade. Liz, you’re it for him. Liz it’s always been you for him. No one else could even register in his presence, but you.
You know that. Right, Liz? Or do you want me to dream walk him to see just what he’s dreaming about? I will if you want me to Liz.” There is a healthy sibling rivalry that exists between Max and Isabel. She’s always up to torture her brother in a loving sisterly way.

“No, I believe you. I’m just so upset and confused by all this, but I’m prepared to go forward with the plan to get Max back”. Liz says, smiling up at Maria and Isabel. “ Just please don’t make me look all trashy or smutty like that Pam Troy person. Yuk!!! Okay?”“

“Okay.” Agrees Maria and Isabel.

“So, girlfriends,” says Maria.. “Shall we do the make-over now for practice tomorrow morning? Then pick out the out fit for Liz to wear to school. You guys up for it?” All three girls smile and say yes. “Okay which should we do first: out- fit selection? hair? or makeup?”


Isabel suggests that they should work on her hair first, then her makeup, and then the out fit selecting. Getting that all figured out tonight will make tomorrow morning easier.


Meanwhile, at the Evans house, Max is just reeling from his phone call to Isabel. “ Maria’s mad at me, as if that wasn’t bad enough, and Isabel is too. This is so not good for me,” replies Max to himself aloud. “What have I done? I thought I was protecting Liz but now I’m beginning to think maybe I was wrong, I don’t know.” A very confused and frustrated Max decides to go take a hot shower to relax and then get some sleep. Perhaps everything will not seem so confusing or frustrating tomorrow at school. Max goes to sleep and finds himself having nightmares about himself, and his being alien, and how being with Liz could endanger her or hurt her. Max continues in his restless fitful slumber and awakens in the morning feeling tired and upset by the images from his nightmare.


Liz awakens to the sound of birds chirping and the dappled sunlight peaking through her drapes in her bedroom. Liz stretches and she looks over at the clock noticing it’s 5:45 am the alarm hasn’t gone off yet. Liz lay in her bed contemplating if this plan will work on Max. Liz sure hopes so. If it had not been for Isabel and Maria’s friendship and support she’d be a total basket case. Liz sighs, and decides to get first dibs on taking the first shower before the alarm goes off. After all, it could take a while to get three girls ready in the morning. Liz takes a quick shower and wakes up her friends just before the alarm goes off at 6 am.

Isabel and Maria both cover their faces with their pillows and grown at the sound of the alarms loud incessant beeping sound.


Liz, laughs at her friends. Okay, ladies rise and shine we have to hurry so we can all get ready. Come on guys, you got to do my hair and makeup for me, remember we have a mission to accomplish.

Maria laughs at Liz, “don’t you mean we have one alien to do our combined voodoo on.”

Isabel, just looks at them and smiles. “Let’s get to work, we don’t want to be late. In fact we want to get there a little early... you know, dangle the bait, make him drool. Hey! Don’t look at me like that. I know guys, and I know my brother. He’s so going to regret that talk yesterday... big time.”

Now on with part 2 update. Enjoy!

Part 2

Liz replies, “Isabel! Don’t enjoy seeing your brother suffer so much. You’re making me feel guilty here. You know what, maybe we shouldn’t do this. I don’t want to hurt Max. I love him. I just want for us to be a couple again, that’s all. Things were going really well until Michael got sick, and was healed. That whole thing freaked us all out. Maybe Max just needs time to process all of that. You know, time to think about everything.”

“Liz, we are here to help you”, says Maria. “Do you want to go around being upset and miserable? Or do you want to let me and Isabel help you out here? Getting you and Max back on track where you both belong. Liz, both Iz and I are yours and Max’s friends. We just want to help you both. This just makes Max see things clearly, realizing he can’t be without you.

Liz is getting nervous as Isabel and Maria go to work on her make- over transformation before school. Liz bites her lip while listening to Maria and Isabel’s banter about Michael, and how impossible he can be.

Isabel asks, “You know what? Michael can be our next project if you want, Maria? Liz, we could team up and help Maria with Michael. What do you say?”

Liz just nods her head yes, laughing. “You know Isabel, we are glad your our friend. But, shouldn’t you be helping me get my alien first before we move on to help Maria get hers?. No offense Isabel.”

“None taken”, said Isabel.

Liz asks Maria and Isabel, “Did I tell you that I got a letter from Alex Whitman, yesterday?”

“No, ” says Maria, “How is he doing? He hasn’t wrote me in a while?”

Isabel asks, “Who’s Alex Whitman? Have I met him before?”
Liz tells Isabel, “Oh, he’s our best friend since kindergarten. Alex moved away in third grade. He just wrote me to say his dad got a transfer back to Roswell. So, I guess we’ll be hearing from him again, soon. Maybe today or tomorrow.”

Maria asks, “What do you mean, we’ll be hearing from him, Liz? He’s going to call?”

“Maybe, Maria. I’m sorry I forgot to mention it earlier. What with all that was going on. He’s supposed to start school soon. Maybe tomorrow. He said he’d look for us at school.”
Liz informs Maria and Isabel.


Isabel says, “Okay, who is this Alex guy? What does he look like? Okay, spill. Give me details.” Isabel looks at Maria and Liz with a determined look.” Liz and Maria both get a knowing smile on their faces--- a silent agreement between them to get Alex and Isabel together.


Isabel is too intrigued with hearing about Alex to bother with noticing the exchange between
Liz and Maria.


So, being corned by Isabel, Maria and Liz tell her all about their friend Alex. “ He’s really funny, and he doesn’t mind watching chick flicks with us, he’s very sweet, he’s smart, he’s really into computers and he plays the bass. He’s always been like a surrogate brother to us. He’s very loyal, protective and an awesome best friend. Maria and I give him girlfriend status. You know, we consider him one of us. No! He is not gay, if your wondering, Iz. He is really a great guy. Would you like to meet him? He’s not the adonis athletic jock type that you’re used to. He’s the type of guy you find yourself laughing with, and enjoying his company. He’s a good guy Isabel. I think you might like him if you give him a chance.”


Maria adds, “We’ve kept in touch with Alex by letters, phone calls, and spending vacations or holidays trading off who goes where. He’s really a great guy, Iz. We’ll introduce you two, and you can judge for yourself. Who knows, maybe we can help you bag a human. Namely, one Alex Whitman. And nobody knows him better than Liz and I. It seems like a fair exchange. You help us bag our aliens and we help you bag Alex.” The three girls all laugh and shake hands on the deal. They now apply the finishing touches to Liz’s makeup and hair. Looking at the clock, they see it’s getting late and they must hurry.

Isabel says, “Oops, we’re running short on time. Would you mind if I help us out so we can get to school early?”


Maria says, “what do you mean help us out?” looking at Isabel confused. Then notices Isabel gesturing with her hands. Isabel raises her glowing palm, with the inside of it facing her, and passes it over herself from head to toes. Maria looks at Isabel’s freshly done makeup and hair. Maria exclaims, “that was fast. Could you do that for me, Isabel, I would really appreciate it.” So, Isabel does the same thing for Maria. They all three finish dressing and head downstairs to the diner for a quick breakfast, then off to school.


The three girls arrive at West Roswell High School early, but not too early. Maria Parks her red Jetta in the student parking area. The girls stand by the car and go over last minute strategies while noticing Max’s jeep is already parked there.


Isabel says, “Okay here’s the plan, Liz and Maria stick close to me and follow my cue. I’m going to introduce you both to all of my popular friends and the popular jock guys, so just play along and smile and make small talk, okay. In between classes you’ll meet me in the girls room next to the music room before classes, and we’ll all sit together at lunch. Liz, when Max approaches you in the next 5 minutes or so, knowing him, just be sort of quiet and not too talkative to him. Don’t be rude. But just not in the mood to talk to him, okay? Can you do that Liz? You’re not being mean or rude, just sort of cool around him, okay? This will work Liz. Remember, just follow my cues.”


Liz questions,“Isabel, how long do you think we’ll have to keep this up before Max . . .”


“You mean before we help you successfully bag, my brother?”, says one cheerful and confident Isabel. “Oh, he can be kind of hard headed, so it may take a couple of days. Or worst case scenario, til the end of the week. Either way he’s a done deal.” Isabel nods in affirmative to Liz and Maria.


Liz and Maria just shake their heads marveling at how confident Isabel is about this whole thing, and her obvious working knowledge of Max.


Liz says first looking at Maria then Isabel, “ Well, you heard Isabel. Isabel, we’re so glad you became our friend. I know I sure wouldn’t want to be on your bad side.”


Isabel smiles, “You can ask Max about being on my bad side. He’ll tell you it’s not a fun place to visit.” Isabel shares a laugh with the girls, “ I’ll let you in on a little secret. Max hates to see me angry with him for too long. If I hold out long enough being angry with him, he’ll usually cave and show up with a peace offering.”


Liz says, “Isn’t that a betrayal of a sister brother confidence telling me that secret.”


“No, not all, Liz. I get the distinct feeling you’re going to be apart of my family, at some point. Consider it an early welcome to the family gift. Besides Liz, it could be useful for you to know that about Max. For when, and if, you two ever have a fight.” Liz just blushes, in response.


Liz says, “You don’t mean what I think you mean, do you?” Isabel smiles and nods.


“Oh yeah, Max has had dreams about dating and one day marrying you, Liz. I know because I get bored and sometimes dream walk him. I haven’t done it in a while now because, I just don’t want to see what my brother’s dreams are like now with you. It’s just not an image a sister needs to see. So, I spare myself that. And just don’t dream walk him anymore. Unless, of course it’s my birthday or Christmas.”


Liz and Maria look at Isabel in appreciation, “Wow, that’s so cool. Do you think you could teach us how to do that, maybe?” asks, Liz.


Then after talking, they walk across the parking lot and make their way to the entrance of the school. Isabel, followed by Liz and Maria, pulls open the doors of the school. Entering the first day of their junior year in high school. The girls are all decked out to get noticed. Liz is dressed to kill, so to speak, in her long black leather skirt with a thigh high side slit, her new black leather sexy boots, and her red sexy lined lace shirt exposing her toned midriff. Isabel and Maria both dressed like something out of that month’s issue of Vouge magazine. Stepping past the double doors, the girls notice the familiar sounds of nervous chatter and clanging locker doors. Obvious excitement in the air. The girls walk towards the office on their way to their lockers. Liz nervously asks Maria “Do you think my hair looks okay? I mean, I was just . . . oh my God . . .” Liz stops in mid sentence. Maria looks up. Both girls take off at a dead run towards this tall, dark-haired, slim boy with light blue eyes. Isabel is shocked to see Liz and Maria run up to a guy, throw their arms around him, kiss his cheeks and hug him. Just then, it dawns on Isabel who this handsome stranger might be. Isabel cooly strolls towards the trio. She clears her throat, pauses and waits to be introduce, just as soon as the friends break away from their excited greeting.


Liz says, “Oh sorry Isabel, this is our friend Alex. Alex, this is our best friend Isabel Evans.”


Alex is stunned by Isabel’s shapely, statuesque, blonde beauty. Alex pauses, as he tries to remember how to speak. Alex regains the use of his mouth and replies, “Wow. Isabel...nice to meet you. Since I’m new here would you guys mind if I hang out with you and show me around?”


Isabel flashes her million dollar smile and says, “I’d be happy to show you around, Alex.” Isabel blushes and corrects herself, “ I mean we’d be happy to show you around and have you hang out with us, right Liz? Maria?” Liz and Maria share a look. They both notice Isabel’s normally cool exterior is shaken. It’s obvious that Alex is having an affect on Isabel.


Liz looks at a blushing Isabel and says, “Yes, of course. No problem, Alex.” Liz then adds, “Uh Isabel, what about our plan? You know, with Max.”


Isabel carefully thinks about Liz’s question, “This will even be better.” Isabel turns to Alex, “Since your best friends with Liz, and Maria. We could use your help with a plan we have for my brother involving Liz.” Isabel continues to tell Alex the pertinent non-alien facts and enlists his eager help.


Alex stands back from Liz, Maria, and Isabel taking in there dress and appearance. “If all the girls here at West Roswell High look as gorgeous as you three, I’m going to love my junior year. And, uh, Liz, I believe your plan will work because you look really hot. Since when are you running around in black leather looking like you just walked out of a music video.” Alex adds, “Who did you say all this was for? What is the lucky guys name?”


Liz blushes, and offers a shy smile to Alex. “His name is Max, Max Evans.”


Liz, Maria, Isabel and Alex all walk down the hall to the girls lockers and put there things there. They continue to talk animatedly with each other. Liz on one side of Alex, and Maria on the other with their arms linked through Alex’s. Isabel smiles at and laughs at Alex’s wonderful sense of humor.


The four schemers all walk down the hall and show Alex where his first class is located. Isabel says, “ I see Max over there by his locker talking to Michael. It’s show time. Let ‘Operation Bag Max’ begin.”


Michael motions for Max to look to where he is pointing. Max looks up to see Liz, dressed in black leather and red lace. Max’s eyes scan Liz’s body, starting with her sexy black leather boots. His eyes move slowly up her legs to her long black leather thigh high, side slit skirt. He stares longingly at her partially exposed thigh. Next, his gaze moves up to discover her bare toned midriff. His heart races when he looks upon Liz’s red lined lace top, Max’s favorite color on her. He imagines himself running his hands through her long, dark, silky, flowing, perfectly done hair. Liz’s sensuous new appearance is drawing him in like a powerful magnet. Max’s face is flushed taking in Liz’s unexpected style of dress. Max’s obvious desire and interest given away by the intensity of his stare. He’s sees Maria and Isabel and a new guy hanging out around Liz. Max’s jaw drops as he notices Isabel introducing Liz to her popular Varsity football player friends. He doesn’t even register his own reaction at seeing Liz as she walks by with her friends and Isabel’s usual jock entourage. The guys are smiling at Liz . . . his Liz . . . and flirting with her!

Part 3

Max, determined to make his presence known to Liz, straightens his shoulders and nervously rakes his hand through his hair. Max shuts his locker door and motions for Michael to come with him. Max approaches Isabel and the girls. Max says, “ Hi! How was your girls night.” Max internally grimaces at what he just said to the girls.

Liz turns to Max and smiles, “Hi Max. It was fine. Well, we need to show Alex to his first class and head to our own. We don’t want to be late. Bye Max.”

Max turns to Michael, “What just happened here? She just talked to me like I was an acquaintance or something. Who is that Alex guy, and why does Liz have her armed linked with his? More importantly why are all those guys following Maria, Isabel, and flirting with my Liz? Why is she dressed so. . . so. . .

Michael interjects, “Hot. Is that the word you looking for there Max?” Max punches Michael in the arm for saying that Liz looks hot. “Hey! Your supposed to be my friend, not making comments on how hot my girlfriend looks.”

“I wasn’t making comments on how hot your girlfriend looks, Max” said Michael. Michael adds, “first off, I was helping you find your word there. Secondly, Liz isn’t your girlfriend. Remember, Max?”

A very flustered Max looks at Michael and says, “Damn it Michael! Why did you have to go and say that.”

Michael offers, “It’s the truth Max. Besides we are better off with out any emotional entanglements incase we have to go home. But I do have to say, Liz looks good in black leather, and would look great on the back of a motorcycle.” Michael digs himself a deeper hole with that comment to Max.

Max’s temper begins to fume quickly, turning to anger. He asks, “Who’s motorcycle did you have in mind Michael?” Max growls out behind grit teeth. Max’s hands begin to crackle with small green bolts of energy effectively ending Max’s control of his anger.

“Relax, Maxwell. I didn’t mean anything by it. I just meant that black leather and motorcycles go together you know, Maxwell.” Michael notices Max’s hands crackling with energy. Michael raises his hands in front of himself, defensively. “Whoa there Maxwell! I didn’t mean I was interested in Liz. I was just saying she looked hot, and other people have noticed that, too. Max, look at your hands and lower your weapons. You want someone to notice that? As your best friend, I need to warn you that it sounds like you are regretting your decision about Liz yesterday. If so, then you had better act now, before it’s too late. Before one of those jocks tries to get to Liz, only to use her and cast her aside. From the looks of things there were quite a few that were eyeballing both Liz and Maria.” Changing the subject quickly Michael says, “Did you see Maria?. She was looking really good too. I wonder what exactly did they do at this girls night that transformed our girls like that. From pretty and beautiful to hot and desirable. . . just like that.”

Max says, “I don’t know Michael, but I’m worried about this. I don’t understand what’s going on here at all. But your right about one thing. I had better do something fast before it’s too late. Michael, you might want to do the same. That is, if your still interested in Maria or at least ready to let her know you are interested in her. I need to try and catch up to Isabel and see what I can find out about Liz. You coming Michael?”.

“Yeah, I’m with you. We had better talk to Isabel,” says Michael.

Two very determined aliens stalk the halls of West Roswell High heading in the direction of where Liz, Maria and Isabel headed off to. Max’s eyes are focused and his fists are clinched, as if driven by an ancient primal urge to defend his claim to his chosen mate. Effectively warning off other interested parties to back off! She’s mine! Michael is also driven by the same sort of primal need to stake his claim to Maria. Even though, he hasn’t let her know how he really feels. Michael’s ‘I got to be a stonewall mask’ slipping completely from his now determined demeanor.

Michael looks over at his best friend, Max. He is shocked by Max’s complete change in his behavior. He would have expected Max to be in a brooding mood about his and Liz’s break up and resolute in his letting her find a nice normal guy. The Max in front of him now, is different. He’s determined, assertive, and not caring if people notice his behavior. Even moved to violence if need be. Michael’s observation of Max makes him wonder if this isn’t some sort of alien behavior causing Max to act so out of character. Michael himself begins to get angry at the thought of someone else interested in and pursuing his Maria. Michael is consumed with his single mindedness and desire to seek out his girl. They are supposed to be looking for Isabel, but they both know they are really seeking out there perspective mates. Each alien is driven by a deep primal need to stake their claim—making sure there is no misunderstanding of who their girls belong to.

Both of the guys become frustrated not knowing where Isabel, Liz and Maria went to. Not seeing any sign of them, they both curse at their disappointment. Then the class bell rings signifying time to hurry to class before the third bell.

Max and Michael both vow to meet up in between classes to find Isabel and the girls.

Max and Michael keep trying to locate Isabel only to find they aren’t going to be successful.

“Finally!” Liz says, at the sound of her fourth period dismissal bell. “ I never thought I’d make it through fourth period to get to lunch. I was too nervous to really eat breakfast this morning,” Liz confides to Isabel and Maria. “Okay, so lets get our books for our next class and meet Alex in the quad for lunch.”

“Sounds like a plan my chica’s” says Maria. The three girls finish rounding up their needed books for their next class after lunch. The girls all wanted to eat lunch with Alex and continue catching up with their friend.

Isabel enters the quad with her two best friends in tow, carefully scanning the quad for Alex Whitman. She see’s him sitting by himself. The girls walk towards him and greet him with warm smiles and a round of “Hi Alex” from the girls.

Liz turns and looks in the direction of the quad entrance. Liz notices the familiar prickly feeling on the back of her neck, indicating that Max is nearby. Liz says to Isabel, “Max is near and headed this way.” Isabel looks up nervously.

Isabel trusts Liz’s inexplicable connection to Max and realizes they should leave. “Hey, guys why don’t we all go to that new taco place for lunch. It’s just like 10 minutes away and it would give us all a chance to get better acquainted with Alex. What do you say?”

Maria turns, looks at Liz and sees a pleading look in her eyes. Maria says, “yeah, sure sounds great, let’s go.”

Alex, Liz, Maria, and Isabel quickly leave the quad and head to the parking lot.

Max and Michael enter the quad, searching it to realize that the girls aren’t there. But they just were, Max informs Michael. Through their connection, Max had intuitively felt Liz’s presence just a moment ago. Max inhales Liz’s scent of strawberries and vanilla as it still lingers in the air. They walk over to where she had stood, just moments ago.

Meanwhile, out at the parking lot. Alex notices that the Max guy is staring at them. So he leans towards Liz, and whispers in her ear. “Let me sit in back with Isabel.”

Michael looks up noticing Maria’s Jetta. Michael grabs Max’s arm pointing to the parking lot. Max responds, “ yeah I see them. It looks like all three girls are going to leave with that new guy. Just who the hell is this new guy? He certainly has our girls attention”. They observe Alex leaning towards Liz and whispering something into her ear. Liz smiles. From Max’s and Michael’s viewing distance, that whisper could’ve been a kiss on Liz’s cheek. Max abruptly asks, “Michael, did that look like a whisper or a kiss ?”

Michael responds, “It must’ve been a whisper, Maxwell. Since when would Liz let another guy kiss her. Besides that guy and Isabel are setting together in the backseat”.

“Damn it! I hope your right.” Max yells as he slams his fist on the table in front of him.

Michael says, “Don’t worry, they’ll be back and we’ll catch up with them. The day is not over yet, Maxwell. We’ll get to the bottom of this.” Michael turns and reassuringly touches Max’s shoulder, “Besides we know where they live and we don’t need a key.” Both guys seemed to breathe a sigh of confidence that they will succeed in catching up to the girls. Michael says, “Something’s not right here, Maxwell. Every time we get close to the girls they keep running off with Isabel and that new guy. Do you think this is some elaborate plan of Isabel’s to avoid us, or is this a coincidence?”

Max thinks about Michael’s question. He answer’s him, “Knowing Iz, she’s up to something. I don’t see Liz or Maria going along with any sort of elaborate plan like that though, Michael.”

Michael looks at Max and does a double- take, noticing a change. Max’s normal amber colored eyes are now completely dark with no amber color at all. Max’s fists are clinched, his jaw clenching and unclenching uncharacteristically. Even Max’s posture is rigid and stern as if getting ready to strike in a fight. Michael says to Max, “Max, have you looked at yourself? You look different. Your eyes aren’t the same color. They’re dark. You are walking around with clenched fists, and you keep clenching and unclenching your jaw. What’s happening to you Max?”

An agitated Max exclaims,“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Michael. You’re acting different. Why are you helping me with Liz? Michael, what’s going on with you? I remember not long ago, that you and Isabel were both against my dating Liz; and especially my healing her and telling her all about our secret. It’s obvious to me, Mr. Stonewall Guerin, that you are suddenly ready to have a committed relationship with Maria. What happened to the no emotional entanglements, Michael? By the way, how come Isabel is now best friends with Liz and Maria, accepting them both. What’s with all that?,”asks a rambling Max, obviously rattled.

Michael replies, “Max. Isabel and I realize that you had no choice but to heal Liz. We clearly see why. There is something very special about Liz and you deserve her. She’s proven to all of us that she’s trust worthy and loves you unconditionally. You and Isabel are very much alike. It only stands to reason that Isabel would connect to Liz so profoundly, almost like sisters. And of course you know that Liz and Maria are a packaged deal. I realize now that we are going through some sort of alien changes. I may not understand what all these physical changes and emotional drives mean, but I do know that we don’t need to fear them. And these changes are making me realize what is truly important.” Says an intuitive Michael. It is Michael, not Max, who is the insightful and reasonable one.

“Well put Michael. I know exactly what you mean.” replies Max.

Max and Michael decide to eat their lunch in the quad. They carefully choose a table that gives them a perfect view of the parking lot. Like two predators stocking their prey. They situate themselves perfectly in order to spot Liz, Isabel, Maria, and the new guy’s return. Max and Michael sit side by side at the table, facing in the direction of the parking lot. They watch and wait. They eat their lunches in riveted concentration, gazes fixed for one red Jetta and it’s occupants.

The quad’s lunch crowd begins to thin out rapidly as the lunch hour nears to an end. Max rises from his seat at the table and throws away most of his lunch. He’s too preoccupied to eat. Max looks up as he turns to tell Michael, “It’s time to head to our next class.” Max notices a red compact car quickly pulling into the parking lot. “It’s them, Michael,” states Max. The red car’s occupants emerge hurriedly. Max’s eyes fix on his target, one Liz Parker. Max grabs Michael’s forearm, getting his attention and points at what he’s looking at. Michael nods as a silent understanding passes between the two guys.

Max and Michael head out of the quad and to the front of the school. They wait and watch for their girls with the intensity of hunters stalking their prey, just waiting for the opportunity to pounce on them. Isabel, Liz, Maria, and Alex enter through the double doors oblivious to anyone listening. Alex tells a joke and he delivers the punch line with flair. All the girls burst into laughter all smiling back at Alex. The girls and the new guy quickly get distracted by a very loud disruption of wolf whistles and cat calls. Their group turns their heads in the direction of the commotion to find everyone in the halls stopping dead in there tracks to stop and stare in Liz’s direction. The varsity football team continues making their whistles and calls at Liz and Maria. They know better than to be rude towards Isabel. The girls stop frozen, not understanding the sudden attention. Liz and Maria look at Isabel asking “What are they looking at? Who are they whistling at?” The girls are totally shocked to realize they are the ones receiving the whistles and cat calls. Liz, turns and looks behind her thinking this all must be for the person behind her. Liz looks. No one is behind her. Liz looks at her friends, her eyes getting big as saucers with the realization this commotion is about her and Maria. Liz gulps, nervously. Liz tells, Maria, Isabel, and Alex that, “we had better get to class guys. We’ll meet up after class.” She hopes all this uncomfortable attention stops. Liz runs to her next class. Liz sighs with relief getting past all those football jocks and their crude comments. Liz takes out her schedule and checks that her next class is biology and heads to her class. Liz enters the classroom and takes a seat at a empty lab desk. The teacher, Mr. Seligman, introduces himself to the class and is discussing his syllabus as Max enters, followed by Alex and Maria. Liz looks up to see Max enter with a very strange look in his eyes, totally focused on Liz. Liz, bites her lower lip nervously after noticing Max. Alex and Maria take the only other empty lab desk. Liz thinks to her self, ‘why does this have to happen to me. Oh, great. Max is looking at me like a cat looks at a mouse’.

Where did that look come from? Liz thinks to herself. She’s never seen Max look at her that way before. Wait! Liz looks at his eyes more closely. Oh no! What’s wrong with him? She notes Max’s eyes are dark brown, instead of their normal amber color. Liz looks away quickly, both alarmed and frightened for Max’s well being. The whole incident with Michael getting sick still haunts Liz as her concern grows for Max . . . her alien. Liz observes Max’s firm jaw clenching and unclenching and his hands in tight fists at his sides and his rigid straight posture. Everything about the way he carries himself right now is screaming at Liz to be careful. Liz has never feared being near Max, ever. But, there is something very unsettling about his body language that makes her half feel like she should fear him. Liz quickly dismisses that notion. She loves Max and he loves her. She has nothing to fear from him. After all, this is still Max. But what is going on? He’s definitely not himself. Liz keeps her eyes on Mr. Seligman while pretending to listen to his expectations for this class and lab projects they’ll be expected to perform. Mr. Seligman informs the class, “I’ll be assigning students their lab partners now. If anyone has a problem with who they’re assigned to, speak to me after class. Otherwise, get acquainted with your lab partner for the year.”

Mr. Seligman, reads off the last three lab partner teams. “. . . Steve Young and Sydney Raines, Maria Deluca and Alex Whitman, finally, Max Evans and Liz Parker”. There was a groan amongst some of the students, obviously unhappy with who they are paired up with. Mr. Seligman, “Once again people, any problems see me after class and we’ll discuss it then. In the meantime, the first assignment is to read the first chapter and get to know your lab partner. You may want to exchange your phone numbers as some of the assignments this term will require outside class time labs to be performed by you and your lab partner.”

Liz bites her lip nervously and turns to get her book from her book bag. She tries to make her self look busy so she wont have to look at Max or take in his disturbing body language.

Max notices Liz’s turning her body away from him and reaching down for her book bag. Max reaches over and gently touches her forearm. Liz gets shocked from the invisible energy flowing from Max’s hand. Max says in a very deep stern voice, “Don’t leave Liz, I need to speak to you.”
Liz looks up at him with tear filled eyes, “Why Max? I’m going to ask Mr. Seligman if I could get a different lab partner. Since you probably would rather not be stuck with me and I don’t want to make you, or myself feel anymore awkward than this already is. Don’t worry, Max. I’ll talk to Mr. Seligman for the both of us. Maybe I can switch with Maria or something.”

Max is stunned that Liz would think he wanted nothing to do with her. He was too stunned to speak. The teacher dismisses the class and students start forming a line waiting to speak to Mr. Seligman about changing lab partners. Max regains his composure and walks up to Liz, gently yet firmly grabbing her elbow guiding her out of the classroom.

A confused and slightly frightened Liz looks up at Max noticing his gentle touch does not match all the outward changes in his demeanor, as if to calm her fears. Liz didn’t fear physical violence from Max. She only fears the very extreme persona he was now assertively projecting. Liz thinks about Max’s gentle touch. It seemed like Max, but there was a firm forcefulness she had never quite seen him exhibit with her before. This made her question that it was even her Max or another alien who looks like Max. When she looked into his eyes she saw a recognition in them yet, the eye color was all wrong. Absent was the warm honey amber colored eyes she so often looked into, speaking volumes to her that his words could not. Liz lets him guide her just outside the classroom and into the hall.

Max firmly states, “Liz, come with me someplace, we really need to talk, now!” Almost sounding as if he wasn’t giving her a choice. With his hand on her elbow, he nudges her away from the crowd in the hall.

Liz looks up to hear Maria and Alex’s voices from over her shoulder.

Maria looks concerned at Liz and Max and the weird vibes Maria was sensing coming from Max. Maria asks, “ Is everything okay here, Liz. Come on we need to go meet Isabel, remember.”

“Oh, yeah we um. . . need to go meet Isabel. And go to our next class. Sorry Max. I got to go.”
Liz, moves swiftly away from Max’s now firm grip, and heads towards Isabel and Maria, both now just a few feet away from her.

Isabel notices Liz seems uncomfortable with Max. It’s as if something very weird, or should I say, ‘alien’ is going on here. Liz runs the last few feet to Maria and Isabel. They both eye Liz and notice she seems visibly shaken. Isabel also senses something is very different about Max. She is so interested in how Liz is acting she didn’t really pay much attention to Max’s body language or demeanor. Isabel, now getting concerned, asks Liz, “Is everything okay, with you? I mean you looked uncomfortable with Max, almost frightened. Liz, did he frighten you or something? ‘cause you seem a little scared of him,”asks a Isabel.


“Isabel, I’m not afraid of Max. There’s just a different feel about him. I don’t know how to explain it exactly. I know he’d never hurt me. I know that he loves me, but his entire body language and eye color change has me a little freaked. I can’t help but feel like some how this all has to do with me. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad. Does that make any sense to you, Isabel?” said Liz.

Maria says, “Did you notice the way Michael looked earlier? He also seemed oddly unlike himself. He looked at me in a strange way. I mean he recognized me, but I know what you mean Liz it’s a weird feeling I’m getting from him. I get the feeling from the way he looked at me like he’s somehow stalking me.”

Liz looks at Maria, and nods. Liz’s analytical mind takes over. Analyzing her recent observations of Max and Michael she tries to come to a logical explanation. Liz’s whispers to her two friends, “The only plausible explanation is that it might be a alien related thing. Do you suppose that Max and Michael could be sick or something.”

Maria says, “Oh, no please don’t let this be a Czech related bug or illness. I don’t think we could take going through all what we just went through with Michael again. What should we do?”

Liz, the scientific mind in their group says, “we should keep observing the guys to see if they start to act ill or weirder and let each other know. In the meantime, we stick to our plan unless we notice anything weirdly Czech happens, agreed?,” said Liz. The other two girls agreed.

Isabel, Liz, and Maria finished their last class of the day. They all meet at Liz’s locker to talk about their plans for the evening. Maria invites Isabel and Liz over to her house after school to study. This gives them the excuse to hang out together and discuss the guys. Liz and Isabel each called home and get permission to go directly to Maria’s after school. Liz and Isabel, being the resident good students, help Maria through her homework and finish early enough to unwind with a bowl of ice cream. Of course, Isabel’s ice cream was topped with chocolate and tabasco sauce. The other two girls just wince at the sight of that weird combination.

Liz’s thoughts drift to Max when she saw the bottle of tabasco sauce. She couldn’t resist wondering if Max, ice cream, and chocolate would be a tasty combination. Liz shakes her self from her day dream, blushing like crazy trying to shake that image out of her head. ‘Where the heck did that thought come from?’ Liz wondered silently to herself.

Isabel commented that Liz looked a little flushed and warm. “Liz are you feeling okay?” Isabel asked.

“I don’t know. I mean a felt fine a little while ago, but now I feel really warm like I need air . . . or something,” said Liz. An image of Max flashes through her mind.

Maria offered, “Well it was the first day of school, Liz. Maybe your just tired from our girls night or maybe you’re coming down with something.”

“Yeah, your probably right Maria. Do you think you could drive me home? I think I just want to go home and sleep right now,” said Liz.

Maria offers, “Yes, of course Liz. Isabel, do you want me to drive you home now too?”

Isabel tells Maria, “Yeah, I think I should probably go home and check on Max and Michael. If I find out anything useful, I’ll call you both. I’ll also check on the status of our plan. Consider this a little ‘Operation Bag Max’ reconnaissance mission.”

“Okay, sounds like a plan,” says Maria .

“Yeah, sure. Just call me,” says Liz.

Maria takes Liz home first, then drops Isabel home, and returns home herself.

Isabel arrives home, only to be pounced on by a waiting Max and Michael. Max promptly grabs Isabel by the arm and escorts her into the house.

Isabel asks, “Where is Mom and Dad? I called earlier and talked to Mom.”

Max says, “She went to the store to pick up some ingredients for one of her experimental recipes again.”

Max eyes his sister as if sizing her up, then Michael on the other side of her slam’s the front door shut, causing Isabel to jump by the abrupt noise.

Max exclaims, “Isabel. Michael and I want to know what’s going on with Liz!” Michael interjects, “And with Maria!” Max continues their Q&A session with Isabel, “ and who is that guy that the three of you were hanging around with today! Just what the hell do you think you’re doing, introducing my Liz to your jock groupies! We want answers and we want them now! Your just the person to give them to us, Iz.” Max is obviously steamed and very frustrated.

Isabel replies to Max and Michael, “As for your concerns about Liz and Maria, nothing is going on with either of them.” Isabel stubbornly refuses to submit to their interrogation. All the while, she is secretly pleased at the rapid progress of ‘Operation Bag Max’. Isabel realizes that her estimate of a week was way too long. Max will be lucky to make it through until tomorrow. Isabel internally laughs, while maintaining her cool, indifferent, straight poker face.

“Liz wasn’t feeling so well earlier and went home early to sleep. Why do you even care, Max? After what you said to Liz yesterday. I don’t think you have the right to ask me about her at all.”

Max’s excess pent up anger and alien energy seeks out a target, his mom’s favorite vase across the room. It explodes into a shower of glass, water, and flowers leaving quite a mess. “ Oh great!”
exclaims Max. “Now I have to fix that too.” Max sees the symbolism of the shattered vase and how it represents the current mess he made with his relationship with Liz. He is aware that he has the power to fix both, but he must act quickly before it’s too late.

“So tell us, Isabel, who the hell is this new guy you’ve all been hanging out with all day? And more importantly, who is he to Liz!” Michael interjects, “And Maria !”

“As for the guy you are asking about. He’s Liz and Maria’s childhood best friend from grade school that moved away years ago and just now moved back here. Liz and Maria have both kept in touch with him over the years and are still close friends. They’re just friends! They think of Alex as a brother, if you must know,”says a seemingly angry Isabel who storms off to her room and slams the door shut for added affect. Isabel thinks ‘Operation Bag Max’ is ahead of schedule, and ‘Operation Bag Michael’ has been implemented. Behind the now shut door of her bedroom she can freely beam with pride and smile at her handy work . She says, “ I love it when a good plan comes together. Men are so simple.” She giggles.

Max and Michael both looked at each other dumbly. They never thought that Alex could be a longtime friend of theirs. They just automatically assumed he was a new guy moving in on their girls.

Max looks at Michael and says, “We were so stupid to think that Alex was after Liz and Maria.”

Yeah, Michael says, “I guess it is true what they say about the word ‘assume’. When you assume you make an ass out of u and me.”

Max agrees, “That’s for sure. What am I going to do to get Liz back and make her see that I was incredibly stupid and pig headed when I told her I wanted us to take a step back. Michael, what was I thinking?”

“ Max, what do you mean what are you going to do to get Liz back?”asks Michael. “What am I going to do to get Maria? I never had her to begin with. This mess with Maria was my fault with this whole I gotta be a stonewall no attachments thing of mine. What if we never learn about why we were sent here? What if there never is a space ship that comes to take us back home? I don’t know about you, Max. I know I don’t want to spend the rest of my existence here on this planet, or any other, alone and lonely. I can’t stand the thought of any of us living long lives only refusing our selves the simple luxury of love. That’s no way to live, Max. I want to let Maria in, Max. I need to be able to let her in. I can’t stand this any more! I’m going crazy here. We sure are a sorry pair of aliens aren’t we? We have two incredible girls who know the truth about us. They still accept us for who we are, care about us, and are determined to keep our secret. What the hell is wrong with us, Max!?”

“You’re right Michael, I can’t stand this anymore either, and I won’t”said Max. “All I know right now is that I feel like I have to be with Liz or I’ll die.” Max suddenly looks all flushed and feverish and very tired. I need some rest. I’ll talk to you later, Michael. I have a lot to think about. I need a plan.”

“Yeah, sure see you tomorrow Max,”says a confused and frustrated Michael.

Max hurries over to the vase and fixes this mess before his mom gets home. The other mess with Liz, he’ll have to contemplate tonight and fix tomorrow.

Now on with Part 4



Part 4

Max is talking aloud and angry with himself. “God, what a mess I made with Liz. I just hope it’s not too late for me to make it up to her and get us back on track.” He walks to his room still fuming at himself and slams his bedroom door shut behind him. A frustrated Max yells, “I will not be with out her. I will not live with out her, damn it! Starting tomorrow, Liz will be mine again. This time, for eternity. If it is the last thing I ever do.” Max punches his fist through his bedroom door.

Meanwhile, after hearing Michael leave, Isabel hears inaudible shouting from Max’s room. She bravely dares to go and speak to Max. “Well, I had better go see what is wrong with Max,” says Isabel to herself. “ I need to get to the bottom of why all the changes with Max’s behavior at school and the weird physical changes going on with him and Michael.” Isabel approaches Max’s bedroom door and is shocked to see the hole Max just put there. Fearing for Max’s safety, Isabel bolts into Max’s room. Isabel exclaims, “Max! What just happened here? Are you all right?”

Max shakes his now sore fist. He says, “I’m fine, Isabel! Damn, that hurt. I feel a little better, for now at least.”

Isabel is concerned and says, “Are you quite through with your Bruce Lee impersonation? Because it’s your turn to answer my questions. Why are you acting so weird at school today? And why do you look so different?”

Max exclaims, “What do you mean I ‘ve been acting weird at school? What do you mean I look different?” Max is trying to deny any changes in himself.

A concerned and irritated Isabel exclaims, “ After that little display.” Pointing at the now prominent hole in his bedroom door. “Don’t even try to deny that you are not behaving like yourself, Max. You walk around at school all hostile, and angry with clinched fists and jaw. You are acting like you’re itching for a fight, ready to spring into action. What is going on with your eyes? That’s probably one of the scariest changes of all.”

Max replies, “Isabel, I don’t know what you are talking about. I’m still me. I haven’t been acting weird. I have no idea about what you are talking about at all. Are you sure you’re not imagining things, Isabel? I look the same as always. Look it’s been a long day, and I don’t feel so great. I think I’ll just go to bed early. Can you tell mom for me?”

Isabel worries and understands. She replies, “Sure, Max. You look tired. You’d better get some rest. I’ll let Mom know you went to bed early.” Isabel closes his bedroom door behind her and leaves Max. She begins to wonder what is going on with Liz and Max both not feeling well and needing to rest. What a weird coincidence of matching symptoms. Isabel quickly dismisses this suspicious, glaring similarity. “I’m sure it’s nothing”, Isabel says to herself, shaking her head.

Isabel hears the familiar sound of Mom’s car pulling into the driveway. She listens to her mother struggle with the door and rushes to help her with her grocery bags.

“Hi Mom. Let me help. Max was feeling wiped out from school, and decided to go to bed early,” said Isabel.

“Well Honey, I hope he’s not coming down with something,” says Diane.

“Not to worry Mom, he’s just really tired is all,” replied Isabel. Isabel walks to her room, passes Max’s door, and notices the hole still there. It’s strange that Max didn’t fix it, Isabel thinks to herself. She quickly restores the door with the pass of her hand. Then continues to her room to read her latest issue of ‘Cosmopolitan’ magazine.

Max, thoroughly exhausted, surrenders to sleep for the night. Although his body is at rest, his mind races through the days events seeking for a solution to his problem with Liz. Max hears Michael’s words echo and repeat in his mind. He hears Michael say, “I know I don’t want to spend the rest of my existence here on this planet or any other, alone and lonely. I can’t bear the thought of any of us living long lives only refusing ourselves the simple luxury of love. That’s no way to live, Max.” Max’s thoughts fast forward to his own words, “I will not be without her. I will not live without her, damn it! Starting tomorrow, Liz will be mine again. This time, for eternity. If it is the last thing I ever do.” After a troubled night, Max awakens from his dream and bolts up out of bed. He is haunted by both Michael’s words and his own. Max’s resolve now fortified with steel determination to seek out his love, and win her over absolutely. “I will make it happen today!” A normally shy Max is highly motivated. His perfect plan will require him to be a man of action, regardless of any embarrassment. An excited Max heads to school rejuvenated and relieved, much happier than yesterday.

Liz is awoke by the blaring sound of her obnoxious alarm clock Liz groans, “I don’t want to get up, do I have to? She asks herself. Then she remembers that Isabel and Maria are coming over early this morning to help her get ready by doing her hair and makeup. “Well, in that case . . . I had better get up, if the plan for me to win Max back is going to work.” She forces herself from her warm welcoming bed, making her way to her bathroom. Liz hurries to take her shower and brush her teeth before Isabel and Maria arrive. Liz says, “I hope they are not running late this morning. I still look really tired and need all the extra help I can get to look great today.”

Maria and Isabel knock on the door of the Parker’s apartment. They greet Liz. “ Hi Liz”, says Isabel. Maria says, “Morning chica. What do you say we get you ready for school?”

Isabel says, “Okay, first things first. Let’s pick out the outfit to deliver the knock out blow to Max.”

Isabel and Maria look through the recent acquisitions to Liz’s wardrobe. Maria says, “I think it should be the black mini skirt with the black sexy little boots and the turquoise scoop neck shirt with the 3/4 length sleeve that exposes some midriff. What do you think Isabel?”

Isabel replies, “I like it, but I’d go with the long sleeve red shirt with a scoop neck that buttons down the front that exposes a partial midriff. I happen to know, Max loves to see Liz in red. “Don’t ask me to tell you the details of how I know that. But, just suffice to say that I dream walked my brother once and that was one of the images I saw. I will not talk about what else I saw. The subject is closed,” says Isabel with a look of warning in her eyes.

Maria looks at Isabel and she laughs. “Are you telling us, that you dream walked Max and found out he was having a erotic dream about Liz?,” Maria asks teasingly.

Isabel turns red with embarrassment. She walks over to Liz’s bed and reaches for her pillow and throws it at Maria. “I told you that the subject was closed! And yes, to answer your question that was the kind of dream Max was having. As soon as I realized what kind of dream it was I got out of there fast! I was almost damaged for life. I did not need to see the visual of my brother and Liz like that; and, I’d appreciate no one mentioning it again either,” said Isabel.

An embarrassed, but intrigued Liz replies, “There’s no way my shy, sweet, and gentle Max would have erotic dreams about me. I can’t even imagine.” Liz blushes and smiles and shakes her head. “Well it’s nice to know I’m not alone dreaming those kinds of dreams,” Liz said under her breath. Maria and Isabel both overheard Liz’s whispered comment.

Maria and Isabel exclaimed, “You are so bad girl, you are totally shattering the Liz Parker image with that comment. You do know that don’t you?”

Liz laughs and blushes furiously. “That was a rhetorical question, I assume. If not, I take the fifth,” said an amused Liz.

The appropriate make-over magic by Isabel and Maria was performed. The three girls grabbed their things and made their way downstairs to the Crash Down for a quick bite of breakfast before going to school.

Maria drives the red Jetta into the school parking lot and parks. Maria, Liz, and Isabel get out of the car grabbing their book bags and talking animatedly as they enter the school. Once inside, the girls noticed the usual hum of students voices suddenly stop. The girls turn to look from side to side, puzzled by the abrupt silence.

“Uh, guys. Does anyone know what’s going on?” Liz says to her two companions. “Why do I get the feeling something is going on? And why do I feel like everyone is looking at us?” says a very concerned Liz.

“Well, who cares,” says Maria. “Whatever is going on we’ll know about it before first period is through. You know how the infamous West Roswell High School rumor mill works. Which of course, as a charter member, I know it well,” replies Maria.

The girls walk to their lockers noticing the normal hum has resumed. They shrug off the earlier caught in the spot light feeling. They head to their classes, ready to start the day and find out what all the earlier commotion was all about.

On the way to class, Liz see’s Kyle leaning against his locker and looking at her. Isabel and Maria walk by. Once again the abrupt hum of normal hallway sound stops. Kyle can’t help but give a wolf whistle as Liz and the girls walk by. Liz is embarrassed and not too happy with Kyle’s display. As they walk by. Maria says, “Just ignore Kyle.”

“Yeah Liz. Kyle suffers from a double handicap. He is testosterone challenged, and he can’t control his mouth,” interjects Isabel with her quick wit. The girls all erupt with laughter.

Max notices Kyle and walks over to him. “Hi Kyle. I just got here. What’s all that commotion about a minute ago?” asks a curious Max.

“Oh. That my friend, was just my way of showing appreciation this morning for all the fine scenery. I heard you and Liz broke up, Evans. I don’t know what happened between you and Liz. But, I think I’m going to have to thank you for the change in her. Kyle motions with his head towards the direction Liz and the girls just went. Kyle cups his hands to his mouth and yells, Hey Liz! Wait up! He fails to notice Liz walking even faster with her two friends, ignoring Kyle’s comments. Kyle turns to notice a supremely irrate Max Evans staring at him with clinched fists, clinched jaw and erect posture. If he didn’t know better he’d swear that Max Evans could kill him right about now for his crude behavior towards Liz. Evans? Angry? It’s a good thing looks can’t kill, because I’d be a deadman right about now, Kyle thinks. He is bewildered having never seen this side of the normally quiet and reserved Max Evans.

“Kyle, were you whistling at Liz when I came in?” demands Max. “That was Liz, wasn’t it! Let me just set the record straight for you Kyle. Liz is MINE!”, Max says through gritted teeth. “You had better get that through you head right now! She will always be MINE! You would be wise, Valenti, to remember that and stay out of the way.”

Michael parks his motorcycle in the parking lot and rushes inside the school to find Max. He arrives in time to over hear Max telling Kyle Valenti, in no uncertain terms, who Liz belongs to. He even heard Max threaten Valenti. This is not typical behavior of Max Evans. Michael stands a few feet behind Max, waiting to see what Max will do next. He may need to stop him. Michael waits for Max’s exchange with Kyle to be over before letting Max know that he is there.

“Hi Max. What was that all about?” Asks a concerned Michael. “Have you seen Liz or Maria yet?”

“No! Sorry Michael. I haven’t actually seen them or talked to them, but they did walk by just a couple of minutes ago,” replied Max.

“Well let’s go find the girls, Max. Do we have time before class starts?” asks Michael.

“I don’t think we do, but we can make some time,” Max cryptically replies with a mischievous glint in his eyes and a smug smile on his face.

“Max . . . what are you going to do? Don’t do anything too public with you know, (motioning with his hands implying using his powers) okay?,” said Michael.

“No problem. I’ll be sure no one see’s. In fact you can be my look-out,” replies Max. Max walks with Michael over to the hall and has Michael be his look-out. Max sees Kyle leaning with his hand against the wall, talking to a cheerleader. Kyle’s hand is unknowingly touching the edge of the fire alarm switch. This is just too good of an opportunity for Max to pass up. Michael gives Max the nod. While Kyle’s hormones have him distracted with the cheerleader, Max walks by and sends a small energy pulse from his hand, activating the fire alarm. All eyes turn to Kyle. The students erupt into a round of cheers directed at Kyle. There are a lot of “way to go Kyle”and “thanks Kyle”. Everyone is sure that Kyle set off the alarm. Kyle is stunned when he realizes that he is now in the spotlight. He knows that he didn’t set off the alarm, contrary to what all the witnesses might think. It was actually Max who set off the fire alarm without even touching it. He caused some alien mischief unbeknownst to anyone other than Michael, who is looking equally amused and proud by Max’s stunt.

Michael whispers to Max, “I can’t believe you just did that. You totally set him up. I mean that’s more like something I’d do, you know. Maybe after all these years my bad influence has finally rubbed off on you.”

Max just smiles and says, “Yeah, probably. Just remember it’s all your fault. You’re a bad influence on me. If anyone asks, I’m just an innocent bystander. I’m pure as the driven snow,”
“Oh great! Make me the bad guy, if you get caught. Pure as the driven snow, my ass! I just saw what you did., I am actually proud to call you my friend, Maxwell,” exclaimed Michael smiling with approval.

“Well, shall we go find our girls, Michael? I think their class meets out front of the school by the senior’s parking area,” said Max.

“Yeah, that sounds right,” replies Michael. “We need to find them and make them talk to us Max. I can’t stand all this silent treatment stuff. I mean, things are so bad that Maria won’t even argue or insult me! I’m worried! I can’t let her just walk out of my life. I finally see that I was wrong not to let her in; and now, she won’t even talk to me. We need to fix this rift between us. The sooner the better, before I get so angry I take it out on somebody,”said Michael.

“Well, Michael,” Max sighs. “Maybe that’s the problem. We’re letting them give us the silent treatment. I have to make it up to Liz because I was a stupid ass. I need to convince her to take me back and give us a chance. All you have to do, Michael, is just talk to Maria ... let her in.”

Michael can’t resist a smart remark, “Either that, or they’re all pmsing”, laughs Michael.

A laughing Max groans, “ Don’t even joke about that, Michael. Gees, can you imagine Maria, Liz and Isabel all pmsing at the same time?”, shutters Max. “That’s just not even funny, Michael. We have things bad enough as it is right now. We don’t need to borrow trouble.”

“So, what’s the plan here Maxwell? What do you think you and, uh well, I should do about this?” said Michael scratching his head.

“Michael, I don’t know about you, but I’m going to seize the day. Take full opportunity of my, I mean Kyle’s impromptu fire drill. I’m going to go find Liz. And we will talk. Let’s just say she’ll be my captive audience,” said Max

“Well, there’s Liz over there, and what the hell do you mean by captive audience?” asks Michael. Max does not answer. He merely walks away from Michael and towards Liz’s class. Michael looks around, puzzled by Max’s abruptness. Michael turns his attention back to Max who is now standing next to Liz.

Max says, “Liz, we need to talk.”

Liz replies, “Not now Max. Wait until we can get someplace a little more private”.

Max says, “Okay. Have it your way”. Max swiftly grabs Liz and throws her over his shoulder. Liz lets out a shriek being caught totally by surprise at Max’s unabashed behavior. Max stalks off with Liz and heads toward his jeep. Liz playfully protests by lightly pounding her fist against Max’s strong muscular back . They near the jeep, Liz begins to worry and asks Max, “Why are you doing this, Max? Where are you taking me?”

Max replies, “We need to talk, Liz. Trust me. Don’t worry Liz, everything will be all right.” As they get to the jeep, the principal’s announces to the crowd of students gathered outside, his voice booms through a bull horn, “Kyle Valenti, please come to the office immediately—as in, NOW!” Max smiles broadly and thinks to himself. Someday’s it’s good to be me, as he lowers Liz from his shoulder and into the jeep. Max says, “Buckle up Liz. We’re leaving to go someplace a little more private, as you requested.” Liz complies but is still nervously wondering what all this is about. She has faith in her trust in Max.

Michael says aloud to himself, “I would never have believed it if I didn’t see it for myself. Max Evans, going ‘cave man’ on Liz, or should I say... abducting her.” Michael just laughs to himself looking at the spectacle of his two friends, “It’s always the quiet ones that surprise you.”

Maria see’s Michael laughing at Max and Liz watching them drive away in the jeep. Maria marches up to Michael, “And just what do you think is so funny about. . . about Max abducting Liz, ‘cave man’ style. What’s going on with him? Is Liz going to be safe with him? He’s just been acting so weird lately I’m concerned. Should we go follow them, Michael?,” asks an anxious Maria.

“Hey, Maria! No we do not need to follow them. This is Max and Liz. He’d never harm her. You know that. She’ll be fine. He just wants to take her someplace and talk to her privately. It’ll be fine, Maria. Nothing to worry about,” reassures Michael.

Isabel runs up from behind Michael and Maria and exclaims, “Hey! What’s with Max and Liz. They can’t just leave during a fire drill! That’s so unlike them. Oh god, don’t tell me he’s mad at her. How did he seem? Normal or what? He wasn’t angry with her or anything was he Michael?”

An exasperated Michael replies, “ Hello to you too, Isabel. No, Max was not angry with her. He is determined to talk to Liz, as you can see. Before Max staged this abduction, he seemed much more at ease, relieved and almost playful. You could see him smiling from here. Max will keep her safe as always, you know that Iz. He loves her and he just needs to talk to her and make things right between them. She’ll be fine. Nothing to worry about Isabel,” said Michael reassuring her. “Which reminds me Maria can I see you over here, I need to talk to you privately,” as he looks at Isabel willing her to understand. Isabel understands Michael’s hint. Isabel walks over to Maria while offering her a knowing smile, wink, and nod . They’re in silent agreement that ‘Operation Bag Max’ appears to be signed, sealed, and delivered. Both girls share a laugh, knowing that one alien is bagged , and one is left to go. That just leaves the human, Alex, left to bag for Isabel.

“Yes, Michael. So what did you want to talk to me about?”

A confused Michael asks, “What’s so funny? Never mind. Whatever. I don’t want to know. Well, first I need to borrow the Jetta right now. Can I have the keys? Please Maria,” begged Michael.

“What? Why do you want to borrow the keys? I’ll let you borrow the car on one condition. Where it goes, I go. It’s the key to me and my mothers relationship. I can’t let you drive it, without me in the car,” said Maria.

“Good, I agree to your one condition. I was hoping you’d insist that you go with me. Now can I have the keys please, Maria?” asks Michael.

Maria hands Michael the keys to the Jetta. They head to the car and drive off. Maria asks, “Okay, where to now, Spaceboy?”

Michael replies, “You’ll see. You just have to wait. And no nagging, cause you’ll never get me to spill. Just wait until we get there.” To Maria, this translates to ‘keep nagging at him and he’ll spill’.

Maria knows she can wear down Michael if she just keeps talking. Maria just laughs at Michael’s comments and says, “Oh come on, you can’t resist the Deluca charm. You know I got you caught in my web. Just face it, Spaceboy. I got you right where I want you. Forget that stupid stone wall of yours. Which reminds me Michael, even the Berlin wall came tumbling down.”

“Oh, so I suppose your trying to tell me that a Deluca woman was behind that too!” replies a sarcastic Michael.

“Hey, I do have relatives in Germany, you know. Here’s a word of advice for you and that stupid stonewall of yours, Mr. Guerin. Sooner or later, I’ll make it crumble to my will. It’s just a fact. You might as well get that white flag out now and just surrender, mister. I suppose you prefer to deny it, and retreat like usual,” huffs Maria. “It’s okay, Michael. Look. If your not ready to surrender, then spare me your tirades and hurtful words. We Deluca women are a tough bunch normally, but even we have our limits of rejection and abuse we will tolerate,” replies a hushed Maria, nearly pouting. Maria is totally working Michael and he doesn’t even know it.

“What the hell are you talking about Maria?” replies a bewildered Michael. “Look I wanted to take you somewhere more private to talk. Okay, Maria ?”asks a perplexed Michael.

Maria’s not done yet. “Michael look. Pull over up ahead, get out, and give me the keys. I will not allow you to drive me off somewhere. You want to keep me captive and away from everyone, just to tell me that you have no interest in me now or ever. I know that you need to stay free from involvement. You’ll need to be able to leave when that space ship comes to take you, Isabel, and Max back to wherever you came from. I understand that you need to remain free to leave, knowing you left no one behind. I’d rather take rejection on my own turf, if you don’t mind, Michael,” replies a rambling, tearful Maria trying to get a rise out of Michael.

“Maria, I will not pull over! I plan to talk to you, and talk to you I will. Even if I have to drive you out in the middle of the woods, and duct tape your mouth shut! You will listen to what I have to say for once!,” replies an angry and frustrated Michael Guerin.

Maria, working her usual charm tries to keep Michael off balance by having the last word, as usual, “Just because Max went ‘cave man’ on Liz, doesn’t mean you can pull a ‘Mac Gyver’ on me. You know that cute genius guy from that tv show. The one who can build or do anything with duct tape and a Swiss army knife.”

Michael understands Maria’s ploy and changes his mood, too. He can’t allow Maria to have the last word, “Oh so you think I’m cute . . . and a genius. This day is full of surprises.” He thought that would shut her up.

Maria and Michael enjoy their usual banter and exchanged comments. Maria, still needs to get the last word in. “I was talking about your wanting to use duct tape on my mouth. Unless you have another way you’d want to use duct tape on me.” Maria says in a breathy seductive voice. This of course causes Michael to blush and be at a loss for words. Yes! Maria wins at getting the last word in. Michael may be embarrassed but at least things with Maria are getting back to their version of normal.

Hi Everyone! Well here I am again. Here is the part that has been making me a nervous wreck writing. I tried very hard to do my beloved dreamer couple justice here and honor them and their love. This is the NC 17 part I've been promising. It's the very first time I have ever written a NC 17 which is appropriate since this is my first ever fan fic I've written. I look forward to everyone's feedback on this part. I hope everyone will not be disappointed with it. I worked really hard on it. I just hope it doesn't suck. In any case I'd love to read your feedback especially on this part.

Thank you to all of you who have been reading my story. Extra thanks to those of you who have been leaving me feedback. I really look forward to hearing from everyone.

Carol000- Hi! Okay, here's the part that's freaking me out. I hope that if and when you read it that you'll let me know what you thought of it.

BehrObsession- Hi! Yep! The girls plan is working. Gotta love my Max going 'cave man' on Liz. As for Kyle well, he sort of asked for it . Michael's stonewall is crumbling down. Glad you're enjoying my story so far. Thanks for reading and the feedback.

Cherie- Oh yeah. Max is tagged and bagged, so to speak. That just leaves Michael and Alex left to bag. Michael and Maria have a unique way that they relate and flirt with each other. The are originals, as are Max and Liz. Thanks for reading my story. I hope to read more of your feedback.

Itzstacie- Yep! I personally had a blast writing the Michael and Maria banter. I'm so glad you enjoyed the whole duct tape speech. Yes, it would be very scary if all three girls; Liz, Maria, and Isabael all were pmsing at the same time. The guys would be doomed. I hope you'll let me know what you think of part 5. I hope it doesn't stink
Thanks for your support, help and all the great pms. It means a lot to me.

LPorter- Hi Yeah Max going 'cave man' on Liz is a sight to behold. The guys and the girls will work things out, you'll see. I read your story "The Water's Edge" that was a great read, really amazing.

Maia- I'm so happy and thrilled that you're excited about my little first time fan fic. I loved your neanderthal comment just before you read the scene with Max going 'cave man'. I'm glad you enjoyed the Michael and Maria part with their usual banter and the McGyver reference. Thanks for reading my story. Your feedback is always wonderful and I look forward to reading it. It always puts a smile on my face when I read it. Thank you also for your compliments. They mean a lot to me.


Max4Liz4ever- Hi! Yes, Max and Liz both have been having erotic thoughts and dreams about each other. I think it's safe to say that Max is no longer willing to stand by his Take-A-Step-Back decision. Yep! Max did set Kyle up but good didn't he. It was fun seeing Max do a very Michael-like prank. I hope you won't be disappointed in part 5. I hope I can live up to your glowing compliments. Looking forward to your feedback on part 5, okay.

roswellluver- Hi! Yeah! Max sure got Kyle a good one, and with all kinds of witnesses to Kyles' whereabouts at the time of the prank.

Ash_maxliz- Hi! Welcome. I'm flattered to see that you're reading my little story. I hope you like part 5. I've been really sweating this part.

Hey everybody don't forget to check out the nom's board and remember to read all the rules and check in to vote in round 4 nom's.

Now on with the story. . . .

Part 5

Max spirits Liz off in the jeep and away from school and prying eyes. Max silently drives with a specific secret location in mind.

“Max, just what do you think you’re doing? Why are you taking me off somewhere? Forcefully, I might add. What’s wrong with you Max? We’re broke up. Remember the ‘Take- a- Step- Back’ speech you gave me? Look Max. I don’t understand why you’re taking me somewhere. There’s no point! You don’t want to be with me, and obviously you don’t even want to see what could be between us. So, why bother with this. . . pardon the pun, abduction of yours. Why Max? Did you think of more things to say to hurt me? Or do you just want to continue to deny what we saw when we looked into each others souls? Look, Max. If this is some sort of game, I’m not playing. Just turn around and take me back to school. Besides, how am I going to explain my absence of not returning with the rest of my class after the fire alarm drill.” states Liz.

Max reaches for his cell phone from the glove box. He hands Liz the cell phone. “Here. Call the school, Liz. Tell them you had a family emergency come up. Tell them to please gather your assignments for the day and give them to Isabel. She can give them to you later,” commands Max. “Call Isabel’s cell and tell her to cover for us and pick up our assignments. Then, call your parents and tell them you need to go over to Isabel’s after school to work on a history assignment together. They can reach you by cell. You’ll be home by 8pm for dinner,” says Max.

“Max, what do you think you’re pulling here? Look at me Max!”exclaims Liz.

Max turns and looks at her. “Liz just do it, please. Trust me, it’ll be all right. I’ll tell you why later.”

Liz notices Max’s eyes appearing much darker than normal and a sheen of sweat on his skin. “Max what’s wrong with you? Oh god! we need to take you to River Dog. You must be getting sick. Max, let me help you. What is wrong, tell me what I can do for you?” Liz asks. Liz’s annoyance turns to a rapid concern for Max’s health.

Max firmly states, “Liz, I’m not sick. I don’t need to be taken to River Dog. Besides nothing is going to stop us from talking. Do you understand, Liz.”

“Max, you’re acting very different. You even look different ever since . . . Well, ever since you took me home after Michael was healed,” says Liz, taking a deep breath and sighing.

“Liz please. We will talk about everything when we get there. It’s the perfect place. Trust me, it’ll be okay,” replies Max.

“I do trust you, Max”. Liz quietly decides to hold the questions ‘til they get to wherever Max is driving them. She takes this opportunity to call the school, Isabel, and her parents making the proper excuses and cover story. She rethinks through the changes in Max since he brought her home from the reservation after healing Michael. Liz is deep in thought trying to puzzle these observations and what they mean in regards to Max. Liz thinks about how tired Max looks, and realizes she is too. What does all this mean? She fails to notice the jeep just came to a stop.

“Liz, are you okay? We’re here,” says Max.

“Huh, what did you say, Max.”

“We’re here Liz. Let me come around help you out of the jeep,” says Max.
“Sure Max, but no throwing me over your shoulder okay,” says Liz with a smile.

“Hey, where you’re concerned Liz, I make no promises about carrying you off when I feel moved to do so,” replies Max with a smile.

“Where are we, Max? What is this place?,” asks Liz

“This is my parents cabin. Their getaway spot. They bought this a few years back when Dad opened that second law office in Clovis. With the extra work, they weren’t able to get away very often. So, they bought this cabin in the woods from a friend so they could always get away whenever they wanted. Unfortunately, the cabin doesn’t get used all that often,” says Max.

“It’s really beautiful out here, Max,”says Liz.

Max looks deep into her eyes, “Yeah Liz, it is beautiful out here. The perfect spot for us to have our talk in private without any interruptions. Come on Liz, let’s go inside and get comfortable,” Max leads the way up the four steps to the front door of the cabin. He uses his powers to unlock the door by placing his hand against the lock and mentally nudging the lock to move.

A curious Liz steps inside the cabin and moves past Max. She looks around, noticing the warm and cozy rustic south western style decor of the cabin. Liz smiles, comforted by the warm and welcoming appearance around her. Liz, who is very much at ease, asks, “So do I get the tour, or what?”

“Yeah. Sure Liz,” says Max. Liz follows Max around the cabin while he describes the place. “This is the living room. There’s the fireplace with a bear skin rug in front of it. The love seat actually folds out to a hide-a-bed. The kitchen is kinda small, but functional. Step saver style. The dining room sort of over-looks the living room and the kitchen . The dining room window looks out on the front porch of the cabin. The bathroom is the first door on the left. There are two bedrooms on this level. That door on the right is the stair case that goes upstairs to my parents room. Isabel’s room is the second door on the left. My room is the second door on the right side. My parents had a second bathroom put in upstairs since they got tired of sharing with Isabel and I,” says Max.

Liz smiles and laughs. “Yeah, more like they didn’t want to run out of hot water when they took their showers. Or listen to you and Iz argue about bathroom rights, right Max,” says Liz.

Max and Liz, both feeling much more relaxed after the tour, sit on the love seat and get comfortable. Liz grabs the Navaho style wool blanket draped across the back of the love seat and gathers it around her.

Max says, “I’m sorry Liz, I didn’t think to ask if you were cold or not. Do you want me to build us a fire? We keep a supply of fire wood out back in the shed. It’s no problem for me to build us a fire and take the chill off the cabin for us.”

“Sure, Max. That sounds like a great idea. All we need now are roasting sticks, marshmallows, and hot chocolate with tabasco sauce for you, then we’re all set,” says a relaxed Liz.

“You’re wish is my command,” replies Max.

Liz watches Max retreat out the front door and out to the shed behind the cabin. Liz scolds herself for appreciating the fact she’s alone with Max in a romantic cabin in the woods; and, well . . . just enjoying the view of Max’s retreating figure walking to the shed. She tells herself to stop it! Where are these erotic thoughts coming from. “That seems to be happening to me a lot lately,” Liz comments to herself.

“What seems to be happening a lot to you lately, Liz?” asks Max.

Liz’s head bolts around to the sound of Max’s voice by the front door. “Uh, what did you say, Max,” says a blushing Liz.

“Oh just what you said, Liz. What’s wrong? Can I help?,” offers Max.

Liz, is now blushing even more. Desperately trying to recover from her embarrassment in being caught thinking about Max in an erotic way, again. It’s a good thing he can’t read my mind right now or I’d die of embarrassment on the spot, thought Liz to herself. “Oh, nothings wrong, at least not as far as I know Max. It seems we both have questions to ask,” says Liz.

“Okay, here’s a question for you, Max . . . do you think you can handle it?” says a flirtatious Liz.
“With or with out marshmallows,? asks Liz.

“What, uh, what did you say?” replies Max. Now it’s Max’s turn to blush because of the flirtatious gleam in Liz’s eyes.

“How do you like your hot chocolate, Max? With Marshmallows or without?,” asks Liz.

Max replies, “I prefer it without marshmallows in the hot chocolate. I like to roast them and just eat them.”

“So why don’t I fix us some hot chocolate. That is, unless there isn’t any in the cupboards,” says Liz.

“There’s only one way to find out. Lets check . Usually, my parents like to keep the cabin stocked with canned goods and instant stuff just in case we forget to bring enough food with us. Oh, look we’re in luck. We do have hot chocolate and even the fixings for smores,” says Max. Liz works on making the hot chocolate while Max assembles the fire.

Max quickly ignites the fire in the fireplace by using a small energy pulse from his hand. Liz, comes up beside him. They are both facing the fire. Liz says, “Thank you for building the fire for me, Max.” Max pauses as he takes in Liz’s familiar scent. Her presence, so close to him, quickens his heart and intensifies his feelings of love and desire. Liz snaps Max out of his drifting thoughts by saying, “I’ll just go(pointing to the kitchen) and make us some hot chocolate. The hot water should be ready now. I’ll bring in the fixings for smores.”

“Uh, sounds great Liz,” replies Max. He is now greatly admiring the view of Liz’s butt as she heads toward the kitchen. Max, tells himself, ‘ keep it in control. Down boy!’ His train of thought is still on Liz.

Liz emerges, with two steaming hot cups of hot chocolate carried in one hand and a box of graham crackers, a bag of marshmallows and two chocolate bars and a small bottle of tabasco in the other.

Max scolds, “Liz! You should have told me you needed help bringing in all that stuff. I would have helped you carry it in, Liz,” replies a concerned Max.

“Max, this is no problem for me. Remember I’m a waitress. I do this all the time.” says Liz.

“Right. Thanks Liz,” says Max while taking a mug of hot chocolate from her.

“Did you get roasting sticks for the marshmallows?” Liz asks as she gestures towards the fireplace.

“Yeah, right here, Liz,” Max says, offering her one.

“Great. Lets sit on the floor by the fire and talk while roasting marshmallows,” says Liz. “Are you ready to tell me what’s going on? Why did you do your cave man impersonation throwing me over your shoulder, putting me in the jeep and taking me here? More importantly are you okay? Max, I mean you don’t look or act quite like yourself? Why are your eyes so dark? Please talk to me Max. I need to know the answers to all of those questions and more,” Liz replies with her eyes filled with love and concern for him.

Max bears his soul and says,“Liz, there is so much I need to say to you, it’s kind of hard for me to find the words to tell you. Please bear with me Liz, I will tell you. I guess I should just start by telling you... how wrong I was when I said that we should take a step back from being a couple. Liz, I was such an ass saying that to you. I was just so freaked about what happened to Michael. I looked over and saw it all in your eyes in the cave that night. You were so scared that I could’ve been lying there dying, like Michael. None of us knew what to do except, River Dog. Thank god, he knew what we needed to do. I was scared for you too, Liz. Knowing me and being involved with me is anything, but normal. I knew it would always be that way because of who I am. I thought on the drive back to your house that I needed to let you go. So you could have a chance at a normal life, and a normal relationship with a normal guy. I could never give you those things Liz because of who I am. I love you Liz, and I didn’t want to hold you back from a chance at normal. That’s why I told you I needed us to take a step back. Now, I realize I was a complete idiot telling you that. I can’t bear to see you talking with other guys, seeing the looks on their faces, and the way they react to you. Liz, I know I was wrong. I didn’t even listen to what you wanted. I just made the decision for the both of us. Liz, that was wrong of me.” Max kneels on the floor facing Liz. Looking into her tear filled eyes, he sees the reflection of the fire’s light as she looks back at him. “Liz, I’m so sorry, for what I said. Could you ever forgive me and take me back?. . . I know, I don’t deserve you. I understand if you don’t want to take me back, or if you don’t want to be with me after all this mess I made between us.” Max starts to ramble some more as Liz moves forward, stands up, and drops the blanket to the floor that she had wrapped around her. She looks down at him and smiles. She takes Max’s hand and urges him to stand beside her. She places her finger to his lips to silence his words. They face each other, their eyes filled with loves passion. . . matching the intensity of the fire’s light reflected in her eyes. Liz puts her hand around his neck, urging him to her. She looks into his darkened eyes and she tilts her head up to kiss him. They kiss for what could’ve been several minutes, until they both became air deprived with their lungs screaming for air. Max leans his forehead against hers, looking into her eyes as he catches his breath. He realizes that it will always be this way with Liz. “You always take my breathe away Liz. I love you, for now and always. Will you give me, and us another chance, Liz,” asks Max with tear filled eyes begging her for that chance.

Liz smiles at him and tells him, “Let me answer you this way,” she tilts her head up to him once again. Her eyes focus on his lips. She kisses him with all her passion and love for him in that kiss. Telling him silently, without a doubt that she does forgive him and takes him back giving them both what they want and need. . . each other. Max guides her towards the dark bear skin rug.

“Liz, you are a part of me. I can’t deny that, and I love you more than words can say. I need you and want you more than you can ever know. I don’t say that to scare you or make you feel pressured I just want you to know how much I love you, and how much you mean to me,” says Max.

“Max, I feel the same way. You are it for me. Max I love you, completely. I love everything about you, well, except for your making decisions for me,” smirks Liz. “Other than that, I think you’re pretty much stuck with me mister. I love all of you Max, that includes the part of you that tries to protect me. I love that you’re an alien. I would never trade what you are for normal, ever. Max, when I say I love you, I mean all of you, your mind, your heart, your body, your soul and especially that alien side of yours. Do you think you can understand and accept how I feel about you.” Liz smiles at him with a glint in her eyes. “Do you think you can handle that, Max?,” says Liz.

“I can handle it, come here Liz,” Max says with all his love and desire for her captured in his eyes as he looks at her. He pulls her over to him and kisses her with wild abandon. He begins to run one of his hands through her hair. He embraces her in his arms as he lowers her to the floor,
in front of the fireplace. “God Liz, I think we had better stop, before things get carried away. I should probably take you back to school,” says Max.

“Max, we can’t go back to school. Remember, Isabel is covering for us and I already called and covered with my parents and the school, so it looks likes its just you and me. Unless you’d rather I not be here? Then, I can just go.” Liz starts to get up, teasing that she’d leave. Max playfully grabs her, “your right Liz.” Liz frowns.

“We can’t go back now, it’s way too early and we have all of our bases covered,” states Max. “Liz, I don’t think I can keep my hands off of you right now and I just want to kiss you and never stop. I don’t think I can control myself much longer if we stay here, Liz. We should probably go, I don’t want to pressure you about anything,” Max says.

“Max Evans! Are you making decisions for me, again. After you just said you were not going to do that anymore, remember. Besides, who says, I want to be good little Liz Parker. The one always doing what is expected of her all the time. Maybe, I want to be bad, Max. With you! Unless, you don’t want me,” Liz says, suddenly finding her new black leather boots interesting.

“Just what are you saying, Liz?” Max asks shyly. “ I just want to make sure I wasn’t imagining what you just said.”

“Max, I think you heard me the first time, but if you’re going to make me clarify it for you. Max, will you make love to me?”asks Liz. Embarrassed by her own bold words and afraid to look up at Max.

Max puts his hand under her chin, gently lifting her chin with the gesture. He looks at her with unbridled love and desire in his eyes. “Liz, I don’t want to push you. I love you enough to wait if you’re not ready, Liz just tell me. Because right now, my control is hanging by a thread here. You know I love you and want you Liz. There is no one I’d ever want to share this with but you. I need you to tell me what you want,” says Max.

“Max, all I know is this is right. Like nothing I’ve ever felt, or thought about before. There is no one else I’d ever want to give myself to, or share this with. It’s you, and it’ll always be you, Max. You are my one and only love. Yes, Max, I’m ready,” said Liz.

“Are you absolutely sure, about this? I mean none of us have done this, so I don’t know what will happen. I don’t want to put you in danger, Liz,” said a very nervous Max.

Liz says, “If you’re concerned about birth control, I’ve been on the pill now for a month. My doctor suggested it since I have an irregular cycle. I tell you this, so you won’t think it was for other reasons,” replies Liz biting her lip nervously.

“And besides Max, I know I’ll be fine because I’ve been having these dreams a lot lately and I already saw a glimpse of this happening between us. I know we’ll be okay, Max,” says Liz. “These dreams started just recently. I’m not sure why I’m getting them, but they seem to tell me not to worry. The dreams show me that we are supposed to be together. We are meant to be each other’s destiny, Max,” says Liz.

“Liz, tell me more about these dreams. Did it seem like someone was trying to tell you with images, or what exactly?,” asks Max.

“I can’t believe I’m having this conversation with you. You know everything there is to know about me after seeing into my soul. I have nothing to hide from you, not even my dreams, Max. Just kiss me and let the images come to you. You’ll know what my dreams were showing me,” replies Liz.

Max grabs and kisses her breathlessly as he gets flashes from her dream showing him what her dreams are about. He brakes from the kiss to get some air. “Liz, do you know what this means. It’s not only what you said, but it also means that you just sent me flashes from your mind, the exact ones I wanted to see,” he exclaims. “As a human, you shouldn’t have been able to do that. Liz, did you see all of the images from your dreams? Because it also showed that my people mate for life. Love making is considered a sacred act between two people who choose each other. The act of love making bonds them for life. It is a irrevocable bond, Liz. It’s eternal, even beyond what marriage means on Earth. Do you understand what that means?,” asks Max.

“Yes, Max I saw that part of the dreams, too. I just didn’t want to freak you out. I understand what it means. I still want you to make love to me, Max, unless you don’t choose me, ” says Liz, looking down at her black boots again.

“God, Liz how can you even think I wouldn’t choose you in this life time or any other. Of course I choose you, my love. I’ll always choose you. I ‘ll love you for eternity,” says Max.

“Where should we spend our first time? In front of the fireplace or my bed in the other room?,” asks Max.

“How bout in front of the fire for now, and let’s just take it from there. How’s that, Max?”

“Your wish is my command, my love,” says Max.

Max reaches his hand out to her, beaconing her to sit beside him. “I know I should be nervous, but something in me is telling me this is right, just like in your dream. Does that sound strange?,” asks Max.

“No it doesn’t sound strange. Nothing with you is boring or typical. That’s part of why I love you so much. You’re not normal. You are love and magic combined. I love you just the way you are, alien and all,” says Liz.

Max lowers Liz onto her back, against the bear skin rug. “God, I love you Liz. You are so beautiful. It amazes me that you know about me, and you still love me, and that you even desire me. It humbles me to have you love me with such intensity. What did I ever do to deserve your love, Liz?,” asks Max. He lowers himself laying beside her, and begins kissing her like no other kiss he’s ever given her before. It was a kiss of love, desire, and primal possession, claiming her as his chosen mate to bond with. He looks down into her beautiful face. She looks up to her beloved. Liz knew at that moment, with absolute certainty, they belonged to each other. They are beginning to complete the bond of their love. Not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well. A complete bonding to one another’s soul. Truly becoming soul mates.

Max began an assault of kisses down Liz’s neck and began unbuttoning her shirt. Max looks at her with love, reverence, and adoration to worship at the temple that is Liz’s body. Looking into her eyes, finding her equally matched love, desire, passion, and a primal need to bond in the only way left for them to bond. They already live in each others hearts, souls, and minds. This final union will finish what has already begun. They complete each other in every way.

Liz reaches up to unbutton his shirt. Fumbling and getting frustrated with the buttons, she requests, “ Max, take off your shirt!” He quickly complies with a swipe of his hand down the placket of his shirt.

“Hey. No fair. That’s cheating using your alien powers like that,” says Liz.

“Anytime you want my clothes off, all you have to do is ask. Powers or not.”

“Okay,” said Liz. “But, I still think it’s no fair since I can’t do that myself.”

Max swiftly kisses her, discovering the sensitive spot behind her right ear as he kisses every inch of her neck. Max continues his loving assault down to her breasts. Looking up at her silently, as if to ask if it was okay for him to remove her bra, Liz nods her approval. He removes her bra and once again looks upon her with reverence and adoration of her body, as each part is revealed to him for the first time. Liz is beginning to feel self conscious with his adoring long looks he gives her breasts. Liz brings up her arms to shield her self from his loving eyes, afraid to disappoint him that she’s not as well built as some girls. Max hears her internal voice enter his mind hearing her thoughts. Max tells her, “No, you don’t understand. Your perfect Liz. Absolutely perfect just the way you are. You don’t ever need to hide from me. I love you just the way you are, and I’d never change anything about you. Especially, not about the way you look, ever,” says Max. He laces his fingers entwining with hers, he lifts their entwined hands to his mouth and kisses her hand.

“God, Max the things you do to me,” says Liz.

Max continues to kiss his way to her breasts touching them tentatively at first, amazed by how soft her skin is and how amazing all this feels . . . and it’s really happening to them both. He rains gentle kisses tenderly on each breast and gently caresses them. Liz reacts to his touch by arching her shoulders up towards him offering him better access. Max begins to sit up and kneel, looking down at her boots. “I think it’s safe to say, that you won’t be needing these boots anytime soon,” says Max as he removes her boots and socks. Liz smiles at his remark. Max says playfully, “It looks like we are forgetting something else here, Liz.” Stroking his chin, “what could it be? I know!” teases Max. “I think it’s also safe to say you won’t be needing the leather skirt or silk panties either,” says Max. “Did I mention I love your sexy black leather mini skirt and red shirt? Red is my favorite color on you. But, I love even better how you look in nothing at all.” Liz blushes, by his loving compliments. In his eyes she finds his desire for her. Recognizing his beautiful eyes growing darker by the moment. Speaking all that his words could never do justice. Showing what he feels for her.

“Max, your eyes . . . they aren’t the same normal amber color. They are deep dark shades of brown. Almost the same color as the pupil. I think I know what that means now. It did scare me before. I understand why it’s happening now. It’s just an alien thing,” said Liz a point of fact. She resumes her attention to his lips and kisses him tenderly with passion, as her hands roam his magnificent chest and abs. She reaches down further, finding the waist band of his jeans. Liz struggles to unbutton them. “Max, you told me if I ever wanted you to take off your clothes all I had to do was ask. Well I’m asking now, Max. Would you take off the rest of your clothes? Now!” says a blushing frustrated Liz. Amazed by her own spoken unashamed words and desire for Max.

Max answers her question by ridding himself of all remaining clothing. He moves over to her. Lying on his side he entwines one of his muscular legs with hers. His fingers mimic the same action by entwining with her fingers. Max is amazed that in all of his dreams of Liz he never imagined they would be together like this. His dreams could never match this reality. Giving themselves to each other; bonding for life, as eternally bonded mates. “If this is a dream, I don’t ever want to wake up. You are just so amazing, Liz. Do you realize that when we make love, you’ll be mine forever. I’ll be yours forever. We’ll always belong to each other, in this lifetime and all those that follow. I love you, Liz, for eternity and beyond.”

Liz’s eyes tear up just short of the tears falling freely down her cheeks.

“Liz, honey what’s wrong? Did I say something to upset you?” says Max.

“No, Max it’s not that. You’re just so beautiful to me. Your words, your soul, your heart and your body. Everything about you is beautiful to me Max. I love you forever, my love. Max . . . make love to me,” says Liz, with all her love and desire for him reflected in her eyes.

“Oh god, Liz. Do you have any idea what that does to me to hear you say those words?” says Max. He looks down at Liz as he moves over from lying on his side. Now positioning himself to lay on top of her, shifting his weight to his forearms that are placed on either side of Liz’s head. Max’s knee gently nudges Liz to open her legs more, making room for him comfortably. They look into each others eyes, to drink in this moment, saving this memory for posterity. “Liz, let’s go slow, I don’t want it to hurt you,” says a concerned Max.

“Max, I’ll be fine. It’s normal for it to hurt at first. But after that, it’s not supposed to be painful, from what I’m told. Max I want you. I want us to make love. Bonding us to each other, forever. This is sacred and special for me too, Max. I’ll be fine, don’t worry,” says Liz as she reaches out with her hand and touches his handsome face which is lit by the glow of the fire, giving them both an eretheral glow.

“Okay, Liz, but let me know if I’m hurting you and I’ll stop. We need to give you a chance to adjust. I don’t want to hurt you. Keep your eyes open so I can look at them. I love your eyes Liz,” says Max. Max kisses her and reaches down to her heat and begins to stroke her there with his fingers. Liz reacts by rocking into his hand naturally. “God Liz, you feel so wet.” I just got to be inside you, Liz. He stops stroking her with his fingers and reaches for himself. Max positions himself over her opening and looks in to her eyes. Liz reaches down and helps guide his erect manhood inside her. Max smiles at Liz’s beauty. He enters her heat slowly and gently as possible. Reading her eyes for any sense of discomfort or pain. Max sees none, as he allows more of himself to slowly be sheathed by her warm and loving heat. Max stops when he feels her internal barrier, he looks down at Liz. “I can dissolve that barrier and I won’t hurt you that way, if you want?,” says a concerned Max wanting to remove any discomfort for Liz.

Liz notices how concerned he truly is about hurting her. “You can do that? Uh, sure go ahead.”replies Liz.

Max reaches down near where they are joined below the waist and gently touches her lower abdomen and concentrates on dissolving her barrier as his hand glows, releasing a small burst of his power. He finishes dissolving the barrier. “Liz, how does that feel, are you okay?” asks a concerned Max.

“I feel a little tingly, but no pain. I’m fine Max, thank you for that,” said Liz.

“Good.. I love you and I don’t want our first time to cause you any pain,” says Max as he reaches for a piece of her hair and tucks it behind her ear. He leans his head down and kisses her tenderly on the fore head. Then he moves down to her lips. Max just holds himself in place unsure if he should begin to move, waiting for Liz to let him know if she’s comfortable.

Liz begins to move beneath him, signaling she’s ready. He begins to rock his hips into hers, and they both gasp at the sheer pleasure and powerful feelings surging within them.

“Oh god, Liz. You feel so wet, tight, and amazing. I love you Liz,” says Max as he pauses to look in her eyes and kisses her with all his desire and passion. They begin a slow rhythm that becomes more intense with a slightly faster pace. Liz meets his hips thrust for thrust.

“Oh god, Max. You feel so amazing inside me. I don’t ever want to be without you again. I love you, Max,” said a breathless and panting Liz. Liz moves her arms from around his back, down to his hips and firm muscular butt. “God, Max I don’t think there is part of you I don’t love,” Liz replies with labored breaths.

“Liz, you feel so amazing, and your all mine now,” says Max as he continues to thrust and rock into her hips. Suddenly, the living room of the cabin floods with a high intensity light, the room blurs and then fades away. Liz vaguely senses a floating sensation and just dismisses it, focusing on the pleasure of her and Max. Still locked in a lovers intimate embrace, the flash brightens. Max is flooded with images of his planet and a past life he had there. Seeing an image of himself looking a bit older. He sees the planet Antar, the star system, and the constellation it belongs to. He sees his abilities in his past life with his powers more focused and controlled. Their bonding is the key that unlocks much of this past life knowledge, abilities, and memories. Max recalls his abilities as a healer, leader, and warrior. His abilities were stronger then. He’s awestruck and understands now how to utilize his alien powers to their full potential. His mind floods with images of a little blonde woman, a traitor who plots their deaths. This traitor has a name. . . .Tess! The next images he sees is one of himself, Michael, and Isabel all lying dead on the ground. Tess stands over them smiling, telling a man behind her, hidden in the shadow’s, ‘it is done.’ Now we can lead Antar together, as husband and wife, with absolute power. He sees this man approach the murderer. The evil traitor calls him a weird name. It’s a nick name. She calls him Nasedo. Max realizes that’s the same name River Dog mentioned, too. Max shakes the images from his mind as he see’s he and Liz are still joined and making love. Max never stopped during the images. Their pace quickens even more as they both feel like they are building towards what must be their release.

“Max, did you see those images, too?,” asks a sweaty, and breathless Liz.

“Yes, and you saw them, too?,” replies a surprised panting Max. Max returns his attention to the intensity building between him and his beloved, but is interrupted by another bright flash of light. This flash brings more images of Liz and Max together in a past life, as a couple not yet bonded. He sees her lying on the floor a few feet from him. . . also, lying dead. He sees once again the image of the blonde traitor and the pleased expression on her face. The phrase ‘beware of the traitor’ flashes through his and Liz’s minds. Max strains and focuses his mind. He knows it’s important to get a clearer image of these two murders. The images of these two individuals are now etched in his and Liz’s mind.

Part 5 Continued in this post

The images now come faster, flooding both of their minds. They see images of Michael’s past life. He was Max’s trusted right hand commander and best friend. Michael was a warrior of great importance and power. Michael’s alien powers were also much more powerful than now. As a commander of Antar’s great armies, he had mastery of the formidable powers of blasting, blowing up objects, telekinetic gifts, and a unique stealth ability. He could approach and stalk his enemies silently and unknowingly. He learned to control his powers with confidence. Isabel’s image appears. Her main gift as a dreamer walker was shown to them. Her dream walking skills were perfected. She could access a persons subconscious mind even while awake, or even alter their reality. She is also empathic and reads peoples emotions. Her power is mind based in nature. It is formidable. She too possesses some defensive powers to call upon if need be. Liz’s image comes to the foreground showing that Max loved her then, too. Liz was his betrothed bonded mate, before they were all murdered. Liz’s powers are shown as mainly as a seer, seeing both future and past images. She can also astral project her image and communicate telepathically to those she’s shares close bonds with. She does possess some defensive powers, but not as strong as Michael’s.

The images reveal that each of them: Max, Liz, Michael, and Isabel are capable of accessing each others abilities, but to a lesser degree as it’s not their main talent or expertise. They each retain defensive powers and can communicate telepathically with each other. As well as, sense each others presence. Also, their combined powers channeled and pooled together are an impenetrable force to their enemies. This combination of powers can only happen when the unit of the four, along with their bonded mates, all combine and pool their energy. They must all share an allegiance as friends bound by complete trust, friendship and love.

Then the last and final images shows them being cloned. Their alien DNA and essence was combined with human DNA and sent to Earth with a team of teachers, doctors, and protectors. Then the crash in 1947, and the space ships debris scattered in the dessert. Forty years later. Michael, Max, and Isabel emerge from their pods as 6 year old children holding hands as they walk out into the dessert. Later they are found by the Diane and Philip Evans. Michael, frightened by the car and strangers, ran and hid. Separating the trio until a few years later when they were reunited . There was no image of Liz shown in the pod chamber with Max and the others. There were only three pods in the pod chamber. Max and Liz are puzzled by this after seeing Liz in the previous image. Where’s Liz’s pod?

The next image is of River Dog, the reservation, and a young couple driving onto the reservation. The couple are unmistakably a young Nancy and Jeff Parker. They are shown leaving with a little girl who has long chocolate brown hair and brown eyes. This child also appears to be 6 years old . Max knows this is the image of a young Liz Parker. Liz’s pod had been hidden and cared for at the reservation . Shortly after Liz emerged from her pod the Parkers came for her. The images stop suddenly as Max and Liz become acclimated to their surroundings.

Max and Liz both feel a burning tingling sensation emanating from their still combined touching palms with laced fingers. Neither of them attempt to pull away. “What is happening Max? Do you feel that burning sensation in your palm too?” asks a worried Liz.

“Yes, Liz. I don’t understand what’s happening with our palms or the images we’ve seen. I’m not afraid of any of this. It’s just very weird, in an alien sort of a way. Are you okay?,” asks a caring Max.


“I’m fine. Just trying to comprehend everything we saw,” replies Liz.

“You know what I’d rather concentrate on,” says Max as he lowers his head down and kisses Liz. Their tongues find their way into each others mouths, caressing and imitating the act of love making. They pause for air.

“Max, I love it when your right. Have I told you I love your mind, too?,” says Liz, now breathless and gasping for air.

Max smiles, after releasing her from his kiss. “Oh really, so now you love my mind, as well. What about the rest of me?,” says a playful Max.

“Well, I guess I’ll just have to show you how I love everything about you, my love,” replies Liz. “Right now I believe we have some unfinished business to attend to, Max,” she said. As she gently reminded him by rocking her hips upward into him.

“You do have a very persuasive argument there Liz,” says Max. We are not through with this discussion, you realize that,” says Max smiling a sexy smile reserved only for her.

“So stop procrastinating, and finish what you started, Max. That is unless you don’t think you can,” replies a playful Liz.

“Oh, I can handle it Liz. I guess I’ll just have to show you. I would never let our love making go unfinished,” says Max with a sexy grin on his handsome face.

Max grabs Liz possessively with his arms wrapped around her petite body pulling her even closer to him. He kisses her neck and rains kisses behind her ear finding her sensitive spot. He continues his journey down her neck leaving a trail of silver glowing love marks behind, making his way to her breasts. Gently kissing and caressing each one, equally. He locks eyes with Liz, looks at her lips, and kisses her passionately as he resumes his rhythm, growing more urgent and faster paced by the moment.

“Liz, you feel so amazing. I think I’m addicted to loving you this way . . . I don’t ever want to stop . . . I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of you,” replies a panting Max.

“ I feel the same way about you. You’re my drug. I’m addicted to you, and I don’t ever want that to change,” says Liz.

“I don’t think I can hang on much longer,” gasps Max. “I want you to come first Liz. Let go, for me.”

“Oh, god, I . . . I think I’m . . . Oh god, Max, I love you, replies a panting and breathless Liz. Looking up to her beloved’s handsome face, she sees that his eyes close tight as he groans in pleasure, and begins to chant her name. She peaks and begins her orgasm. So does Max.

“Liz, Liz, my Liz, mine . . . My love. . . Oh god, Liz I’m . . . coming,” says Max . . . Max opens his eyes to look at her, still joined and still locked in their duet of intimate rhythm. They continue to ride out their orgasms, still savoring this incredible first with each other.

She wraps her arms around his waist, pulling his powerful masculine form down closer to her body. Still enjoying the waves and rhythms they’ve created together. A few more minutes pass. Slowing, the now gentle rhythm eases and the waves still to a stop. They lay like that together, still joined, not wanting to separate from each other in their exhausted contented embrace. Max rests his head on her chest with one arm wrapped tightly around her. He gently uses his free hand to caress her stomach, remembering when he left his silver hand print that day he healed her at the Crash Down Café. He smiles lovingly, and continues with gentle caresses. “I think I marked you then, as mine when I healed you, Liz.”

“Looking back on it now, you probably did . But what about that burning sensation we both had on our palms?,” asks Liz. She quits running her hand through Max’s dark thick locks, and turns her own palm up.

“Max! Look at your palm,” exclaims an excited Liz.

“Max lifts his head from her chest to look at her. What? What’s wrong Liz?,” says an alarmed Max. As he withdraws himself from their intimate embrace.

“Hun, just look at your palm,” commands Liz. Max complies, looks at his palm, stunned by what he sees.

“Liz , let me see your palm,” replies Max. He scoots up to Liz so he can look eye level at her. He notices Liz shivering. Spying the blanket a few feet away, and calls upon his powers to bring the blanket over to them, covering them both. “Are you okay babe?”

“Yeah, sure. I’m fine,” says Liz. Looking at their palms and the new matching tattoos emblazoned there. “It’s a symbol, of some sort. It looks like two circles interlocking with the symbol for infinity underneath it. With a large letter “V”prominent in the background.” They compare their tattoo’s, seeing they are exact duplicates and are both silver in color. “At least they aren’t in a spot that is as obvious and visible as most tattoos. These are quite unique and so beautiful. But why? I wonder what the symbols mean,” ponders Liz.

Now on with the story. . . .


Part 6


Liz excitedly exclaims, “Our palms aren’t the only thing that changed, Max! Your eyes! They are back to their normal gorgeous amber color”.

Max replies, “Why does everyone keeps noticing my eyes? Well, it’s good to have them back to normal, I guess. But anyways . . . Back to the symbols . . . They have to do with both of us. Not just because of our bonding, but they mean something else. Each symbol means something separate. The bottom of the tattoo shows the symbol for infinity, which represents our love. The two interlocking circles represent us and our connection to both of our worlds. The “V” letter has a double meaning. The first is ‘visitor’.” Liz laughs at him. “ No!” Feigning hurt, Max says, “not like the tv show. We are not here to take over Earth. The second meaning refers to our home constellation of planets.”

“We have learned so much. . . Our bonding was beautiful and perfect, just as I thought it would be. But Max. . . You said ‘our home constellation of planets’.” With so much going on all at once, it finally dawns on Liz what they saw from the shared images of their bonding. “This means I’m adopted and an alien, too” says a stunned Liz.

“That’s what we saw, Liz. Look how we found out what we learned today. Who says, learning can’t be fun,” smiles Max.

Liz playfully, slaps his bare shoulder. “What is that supposed to mean? I suppose that you have a burning desire for marathon study sessions, now,” laughs Liz.

“Well you’re the only one, my love, I ever want to study with.” says Max as he kisses her palm. “You know what they say. Anything worth doing is worth doing well,” says Max.

“Hun, I don’t think you have a problem there,” says Liz, smiling into his amber eyes. “That is unless you don’t feed me soon. I’m so hungry, Max. What time is it anyway? You know I can’t study on a empty stomach, Max,” says Liz with a glint of mischief in her brown doe eyes. “So if you want to do any more studying, you had better feed me,” says Liz waving her finger at him.

Max sits up and fumbling through his clothes looking for his watch. He finds it, “Liz, it’s one o’ clock in the afternoon, Yes!” shouts Max. “We still have several hours left. As for food, I can go find us something in the cupboards. You stay here and I’ll bring it to you.” says Max. He leans over to her and tenderly kisses her lips. He stands up in all his naked glory and quickly walks into the kitchen.

“You know, Hun, the view is pretty amazing here,” says Liz. Looking towards his direction with a wicked smile upon her face.

“What? Did you say something, Babe?,” replies an innocent Max. He steps back from the kitchen to look at her in the living room, still lying on the floor with the blanket over her. He sees the wicked smile on her beautiful face.

“What?,” asks Max.

Liz smiles, “All I said was, Hun, the view is pretty amazing from here,” says Liz with yet another devilish smile upon her face. She scans his gorgeous naked body from across the room. Max doesn’t seem to get what her words are hinting at. His focus is lost on that smile of hers.

“Max, aren’t you forgetting something,” Sitting up, Liz reaches for his boxers and waves them in the air.

Max blushes, “Are you telling me you want me to put my clothes back on now?” says Max. He walks over to her and bends over to grab his boxers, then gathers his clothes as if to get dressed.. He acts serious about getting dressed.

“Max Evans! don’t you dare get dressed. Or I will, too,” says Liz pretending to be slightly miffed. She sits up looking for her clothes. She reaches for her bra, Max sees what she’s reaching for and raises his palm making her bra fly across the room further away from her. “Max, you know your cheating again with your powers. I can’t do that,” says a pouting Liz.

He leans over to her and kisses her lips. “You will, my love. Remember the flashes and images. Your powers have most likely already started to develop. Think about it Liz. Your dreams foretold of us bonding and that it was safe for us to do so. Then there is our connection. It’s not just one sided, we can each sense each others presence. It will just take time to enhance these and other abilities. Now that we know that you have powers I think they will quickly advance. I’ll help you train and develop as your powers emerge. We will try later with something easy and see if you can do it. As for the clothes, I promise not to get dressed until it’s time to take you to my house, and then home. But, that’s only if you promise to not get dressed until then, too,” says Max.

“Okay, it’s a deal. So what did you find to feed me?” says Liz. Would you like me to come in there and help you rummage the kitchen cupboards for food?,” asks Liz. “I’ll help you Max. The sooner we eat the sooner we can get back to studying,” replies Liz. She stands up and grabs his hand pulling her to her feet. He watches in awe, as the blanket that was covering Liz drops and falls away to the floor. Revealing all her naked beauty to him.

“Babe, are you sure your hungry? Because I think I could go for some more studying, about now,” says Max eyeing her body up and down. He shakes his head, trying to remember what he was going to do in the kitchen. “Oh yeah, um, find some food, right? Right, okay”, he clears his throat. “Come on my love, lets go find us some food. . . fast,” adds Max.

After quickly searching the cupboards, They agree on chili and tabasco sauce for Max. “For dessert we could finally make smores,” offers Max.


“Um, that sounds really good. I’m definitely up for smores, also an excellent study snack food,” replies a suggestive mischievous Liz.

“Liz, your going to be the death of me. You know that right?” says an anxious smiling Max.

*********************************

Michael drives the red Jetta out of Roswell heading to Bitter Lake. Maria impatiently fidgets.

“Michael where are you taking me? You’re not abducting me again, are you?” says Maria smiling, looking at his face deep in thought. “Gees Michael, lighten up would you. I thought for sure that would have gotten a rise out of you. Okay, so you won’t tell me what’s going on. Great, no answers out of you, huh. Why am I not surprised?” says a now, exasperated Maria.

“Maria, we’ll talk when we get to the Lake,” says Michael. He wonders if waiting to talk to her until they get to the lake is such a good idea. He looks down noticing Maria’s tan mini skirt and her bare shapely long legs sitting next to him, just within his reach. “I had better keep my eyes on the road or we’ll never make it there,” mumbles a very distracted Michael.

“What did you say, Spaceboy? Sudden urge to speak to me, or are you just going to ignore me the whole way to the lake,” says Maria. “What is wrong with you? You and Max are both acting really weird. I swear he’s acting more aggressive and almost hostile, and you’re holding him back and acting very un Michael like. Did you two switch brains or something? Because if that’s what going on here Michael, nothing is going to happen between us. That’s for sure! Max is a great guy and everything, but he’s like a friend or a brother to me and I don’t want his mind in your body. Just know that, okay mister, not going to happen. I have to draw the line there at body swapping with all the alien weird stuff,” rambles Maria, nervously worrying about what his talk will be about. “Michael, would you at least look at me? I’m worried for both you and Max. Michael, just pull over up ahead, that’s it! I’m not waiting another moment longer in this car with you in complete silence. This is a bunch of garbage Michael. Your going to have to talk to me. There is no chance of you getting out of it either, Spaceboy, so spill already and lets deal,” says an irritated Maria.

“Okay! Alright, fine! I’ll pull over! Why can’t you just wait, Maria! This is not the way I wanted to do this. Fine then! Since you won’t let me do it my way. Fine! Be that way,” says a now upset Michael. Michael wonders if Max is having better luck talking with Liz.

Maria looks unconcerned by the typical Michael outburst. His refusal to look at her is what really worries her. She’s almost afraid to look at his eyes. Maria has noticed how Max and Michael’s eyes looked really different, darker in color and in mood. “I wonder if I was off base earlier with the whole mind swap comment,” ponders Maria. “Okay, now I am officially freaked, Michael. You won’t even look me in the eyes. What’s going on. This is me, Maria. One of the charter members of the ‘I know an Alien Club.’ You should know by now that you can tell me whatever it is, Michael,” exclaims Maria. “God! Men are infuriating. Alien men are even worse! Why do I bother at all?,” says Maria.

“Maria would you just be quiet,” growls Michael. He turns off the road finding a place to park the car and talk to her. You are impossible, Woman! You are driving me crazy!” he says, slamming his fists against the steering wheel in frustration, still avoiding eye contact with her. Michael closes his eyes turns to face her and opens his eyes.

Maria gasps, “Oh my god, I was right, wasn’t I? You’re not my Michael, are you? Who are you? What have you done with him”? Maria launches into her tirade. “Look, you alien scum! If you’ve harmed one hair on Michael’s head or messed with his or Max’s minds I’ll kill you. You hear me you bastard!” Maria starts pounding her fists on his shoulder and arm as he remains still.
“Maria! Please! It’s me, okay? No invasion of body snatchers’ alien style. Okay? No more Sci-Fi channel for you. This is me, Michael. Okay, Maria?”

“Fine. You want me to believe that your Michael. Prove it! I know. Tell me only something that Michael would know. I got it. What is Michael’s nickname for me? If you can tell me the correct answer, then I will go with you to the lake. Otherwise, get out of my car and give me my keys,” says an angry and scared Maria.

“Maria! Would you stop hitting me, please. Okay, here’s the answer. I call you ‘Pixie’. Satisfied now,”exasperates Michael.

Maria sighs with relief and says, “Thank God!” and she turns in her seat to face him. She gently grabs his handsome chiseled face with her hands and turns his head to face her. Michael slowly makes eye contact with Maria’s vibrant green eyes. She pulls his face to hers and kisses him passionately. Michael answers her passionate kiss with one of his own. Initiation that grows more heated by the moment.

A breathless Maria breaks off the kiss to catch her breath. “Michael, please tell me what is going on with you. I know Liz has noticed that Max is acting weird too. What is this all about, Michael? You’re scarring me, please tell me,” Maria gently insists.

“I’m not sure what is going on. I only know that I can’t keep you shut out any more, Maria. I love you and need you.” A stunned Maria finally turns quiet. Michael continues, “This is all so new to me. I’m not really sure how to say all this to you. Feeling the way that I do about you Maria, scares me. I’m not used to being this open and vulnerable to another person. I wasn’t lucky like Isabel and Max to get adopted into a great loving family. I was put in the foster care system and never found what they have. The idea of a ship taking me home to an alien family really used to appeal to me. I know now that the ship may never come for me, so I’ve decided to embrace my unconventional family and make my life here. I can’t live the rest of my life alone and lonely. Maria, I want to let you in. I need you. No one understands or gets to me the way you do. You challenge, infuriate, and then support me. Maria, I love you. Will you let me in? Will you give us a chance?” says Michael with teary, abnormally dark colored eyes. A mesmerized Maria remains silent as Michael finishes his heart felt confession. “Maria? Talk to me. Say something. Yell at me, scream, argue with me. I can handle all of those reactions from you. But, this silence is scaring the crap out of me. Would you just say something please, Maria?”

“Michael, you don’t know how long I’ve waited to hear you say you love me. I was beginning to think that you and I were a lost cause. I love you too, Michael.” He leans in to kiss her full kissable lips. . . “Wait! I still don’t understand why the un Michael-like behavior talking about your feelings, and just talking, period. Why are your eyes dark in color? Please, I need to understand all this. When did all this start? What’s going on with you and Max. I’m worried Michael. I want to help you if I can. So, please tell me what all these changes mean, please,” pleads Maria.

Michael sighs, “Well, I first noticed Max acting differently shortly after I was healed. Then around the same time, I guess, I started acting different too. It seems to start after Max broke up with Liz. But, that doesn’t make any sense, as to why both of us would be acting unlike ourselves. It’s as if, we are each acting opposite of our normal personalities. Max is more aggressive and assertive, like you mentioned earlier. In fact I nearly had to stop him from taking out Kyle Valenti. Kyle was making a crude remark about Liz. Max was ready to tear the guys’ head off. He probably would have, if I hadn’t been there to distract him. He was yelling at Kyle telling him that Liz was his, that she belonged to him, and she will always be his. Then he threatened Kyle. It was kind of scary to see that side of Max. He was so mad. And then . . .” Michael laughs, “Max set off the fire alarm, so perfectly that everyone thought that Kyle did it. I was so proud of him. I don’t think Valenti knew what happened. But anyways, about our eyes changing colors. The only thing I can think of is that it is alien related and must have to do with our personality changes that is causing it. I know that it isn’t anything dangerous. I get the feeling this is normal for us. I don’t know why. It’s just the impression I’m getting, sort of like deja vu,” explains Michael, relieved he has Maria to talk to.

“So you mean this is not a illness or anything? Well, that’s a relief!,” says Maria. She reaches over to his hand and laces her fingers thru his and gives a gentle squeeze to his hand. “So, why did you take me way out here to talk to me, Michael? Are there any other reasons I should know about, Spaceboy?” says a flirtatious Maria.

“No, Maria. That pretty much is all I know,” replies Michael. Michael’s eyes find her full red kissable lips as they seem to magnetically draw his lips to hers. Again, Michael moves in closer to Maria. He puts his arms around her and pulls her closer to him as he begins the overdue assault on her lips. This time, Maria permits his silent request as he kisses her breathless. Her hands join in on the counter assault. She hurriedly pulls at his tucked in shirt freeing it from his jeans. She lets her hands roam underneath his shirt, seeking out the touch of his warm bare skin.

Michael groans, “Oh god, Maria that feels so good. But we had better stop, even though, I don’t want to. We really need to stop this. I don’t want for things to get carried away. Besides I can’t help but picture your mom hunting me down and killing me for deflowering her daughter. It is a major mood killer,” says Michael with a frustrated smile.

“Michael, are you saying you want us to make love? ,” asks Maria. “I can’t believe we are even talking about any of this, let alone talking. Uh, Michael, have you thought about us that way?,” asks Maria.

“Well, uh. . . Truthfully, uh yes, I have. I have been thinking about it, a lot lately. By the way, what’s with you wearing all these hot new clothes to school lately,” asks Michael. He runs his hand nervously through his barely shoulder length light sandy brown hair.

“What’s wrong, you don’t like my new wardrobe?,” asks Maria half seductively. “I thought you just said my clothes were hot. Well what do you think of how I look in my new clothes and new look, Michael?” Maria asks in her best sexy voice.

“Maria stop it! Don’t look at me like that or talk to me in that sexy tone. I don’t think I can take much more of this, Maria. We uh. . . Sh. . . Should go. We shouldn’t be here alone, out in the middle of now where by ourselves. We need to head back,” says a frustrated and torn Michael.
“Why, Michael Guerin, I think you’re afraid to be alone with a mere human. Are you afraid I’ll use my Deluca charms and over power your alien senses, penetrating your famous Guerin stone wall. Isn’t that funny. Here I am in the company of an alien, whom I ‘m in love with, and he’s afraid to be alone with me. That’s rich, Michael,” says a laughing Maria. Obviously having fun teasing Michael.

“Your laughing at me because I haven’t made the big move on you? Maria, we don’t even know if that would be safe for us to. . . Or for you, or not? Gees, I don’t want to put you in any danger,” says a concerned Michael.

Maria starts looking around in the car, and looks into the back seat and under her book bag and her purse as if looking for something. “Michael I swear I just heard your voice say something, but the words sounded exactly like something Max would say to Liz. Okay, where are you hiding Max? The Michael Guerin I know and love just never says stuff like that. I think you’re scared, Spaceboy, to be alone with me. That’s okay Michael. I know when I am not wanted, even though this is my car. Hand over the keys, Michael,” says Maria.

“No! I will not give you back the keys. Your not going to storm away from me, ala Hurricane Deluca, and leave me!” exclaims Michael. Maria makes a quick grab for the keys hanging from the cars ignition. Michael beats her to the keys. “Maria, I said no! I don’t want for us to argue.” Maria begins to start her rant. Michael grabs her forcefully pulling toward him and kisses her fervently. Leaving a speechless Maria, once again. Michael breaks off the kiss several moments later. He pulls back from her, noticing the thoroughly dazed and contented look on her face. Michael smiles at the expression on her face and notes her messed up hair. He runs his fingers through her silky long blonde locks and tenderly touches her full red lips. Michael shakes his head and sighs. “God Maria, the things you do to me. The things I want to do with you, but I know we can’t,” says a regretful Michael.

“Michael, who say’s we can’t. I mean . . . why would your people, who have mastered interplanetary travel, not be smart enough to make you compatible with humans. I mean, if all of you look human why would the similarities only end there,” offers Maria. “Besides I’m on the pill. My mother made me go on it when I was old enough to date. She said she didn’t want me to wind up being a pregnant teenager without options or a future. So I went on the pill just to keep her sane. Not that I ever had a reason to use it,” blushes Maria, “because I haven’t ever. . .” drifts off Maria looking down at her hands. “Michael I just want you to know.” Michael stops her in mid sentence. He grabs her hand and kisses tenderly the top of her hand.

“Maria are you trying to tell me that you want us to be together. . . I mean that you want for us to make love,” says Michael. “I don’t want you to feel like you have to. I’d never want you to feel that way, okay. So, just be honest with me. Are you telling me your ready for this?... For us to make love,” Michael asks her softly.

“Gees, what is with you alien men? Do I have to spell it out for you, Spaceboy?,” asks Maria rolling her eyes as if it’s all obvious to her.

“Yes, I think I really do need to hear you say it, just so I don’t think I’ve dreamed it or misunderstood what you were saying. I don’t want anymore misunderstandings between us ever, Maria,” says Michael his voice shaking with emotion.

Maria smiles and sighs at him. She reaches up to his handsome face and reverently touches his face and says, “ My Spaceboy. I thought you understood, but here goes nothing. I love you and I want to be with you in every way. I want you to make me yours, and for you to be mine. Yes, I want us to make love, unless your not ready, then I’ll just wait for you until you are ready”. Maria looks down at her feet. “That is, unless this isn’t something you want at all. Then just please tell me, and then shoot me so I won’t die of embarrassment,” replies a tearful but smiling Maria, bracing herself for a rejection.

Michael replies, “ You know that’s one of the reasons I love you. Right there. You are always concerned about me and wanting to know what I think and how I feel about things. Even if you do have to pry it out of me. No one else has ever really cared the way you do.. Well, except for Max and Isabel. But, I feel like they are my brother and sister. So that’s different. You know what I mean, Maria. I want us to belong to each other in every way two people in love can ever be. God! Maria, I need you. I want you. I love you.” Then Michael grabs her hand and nudges her towards the back seat of her car.

“Michael, I do want this. But I don’t want our first time to be in the back seat of my mom’s car, okay. But, if you still want, we could make out instead,” says a relieved Maria after she tells him her feelings on everything.

“Okay,” Michael sighs with relief. Relief to know where he stands with her on their decision to be intimate. Just not here, in her mom’s car. Michael offers his hand to help her to the bench seat in the back of the Jetta. She settles in, setting next to him. His arm reaches across the back of her shoulders and wraps her in a close embrace. She tilts her head back a little, resting the back of her neck against the crook of his arm. Their lips meet in a frantic intense kiss, attempting to quench their mutual desire for each other. Maria’s hand finds its way to the hem of his still untucked shirt and finds its target--- Michael’s bare, hot, firm torso.

Michael groans, “God Maria. You’re right, of course, about us not making love in your mom’s car right now. But, you feel so amazing and soft and taste so good.”

Maria says breathlessly, “Michael, you feel so warm and strong. God, I think I could get lost in your arms and forget everything else.” Maria and Michael entangle lips and tongues in another round of passionate kisses. Maria’s cell phone rings. “What the, who would be calling me now. I hope it’s not my mom, wondering why I’m not at school,” says a worried Maria.

Rrring. Rrring...Rrring.

“Hello. Who is this?,” says Maria. All she hears is the laughing of two voices on the other end.

“Uh, Max, stop it. Not now, wait until I’m off the phone, Hun . . . Hi Maria.. Is Michael there with you? Max, stop it! You are so getting it when I get off the phone,” says Liz. “Sorry about that Maria, Max just can’t keep his hands to himself.”

“Liz, Babe. Hurry up. I need you. I’m going to get it when you get off the phone. Remember? You promised.” says a smiling Max.

“Uh, hi Liz and Max. I, uh, take it you guys are back together then. Is that why you called?,”says a bewildered Maria. “Uh, Liz, you didn’t . . . I mean you and Max didn’t do what I think you guys did, did you? God Liz, are you okay? Was everything, uh normal? Or What?,” asks a concerned and nosey Maria..

“Oh yeah, were back together and then some,” says a laughing Liz. “No details, it’s personal. But, everything is normal except for the perks. Which you’ll have to find out for yourself. Again no details, no matter how much you nag, okay Maria. We were just calling to see how you guys are getting along.” asks Liz. “Max and I sensed you guys have been making out. Just wondering if you guys were about to do . . . what we just did. If so, you are definitely back on track and stronger than ever,”says Liz mysteriously.

“Uh, Liz, is there a point to this phone call? Because Michael and I were in the middle of something. Not that I’m not happy for you two, but you sort of interrupted something with your call, chica,” says Maria.

“Oh we interrupted you two?” says a laughing Max and Liz. “Later Maria, bye Michael don’t do anything we haven’t”, says Max laughing.

“Max, I can’t believe you said that to them on the phone. You are so bad. I think I have unleashed the inner bad boy in you,” laughs Liz. “Maria, you still there? We just wanted to give you two a bad time. Max said Michael wanted to talk to you earlier, so we figured you two were together somewhere talking. We just couldn’t resist the chance to call and bug you two. Well, now that we have, mission accomplished. We’ll talk to you later Maria,” says Liz. Max
interjects, “and Michael,” laughs Max, making fun of that earlier conversation with Michael. They quickly press the end button to end their phone call.

Michael asks, “So what’s up with Max and Liz? Did they . . . are they okay?”

“Uh, no, I mean yes. . . .Yes, they’re okay. No, they definitely didn’t sound upset. They sounded extremely happy, very friendly and frisky with each other on the phone. They seemed to have a hard time remembering they were on the phone with me, since I was hearing what they were saying to each other. Michael I think they were or just had been uh. . . You know”, Maria says raising her eyebrows. They just wanted to call to let us know they are more than back together, and to also interrupt us. I’m soo going to coax details out of Girlfriend no matter what she says. She soo owes me details on something this big, ” says Maria.

“How did they know about interrupting us?” asks Michael.

“Liz said, ‘she and Max both sensed we were making out?’ Oh, now that is weird. Even weirder than that phone call with them? Michael, please tell me you Czechs can’t sense when the others are uh, having sex or making out or anything. Can you?,” asks a stunned Maria. “Don’t get me wrong. I love Liz and Max as our best friends, but I do not need to have my boyfriend getting a visual or sense of that going on with them, just whenever,” exclaims Maria.

“No, I don’t think we can sense that sort of thing. At least it’s never happened to any of us before, that I know of. I’m pretty sure I would have been briefed on that sort of a development. Wait a minute! You said Liz and Max both sensed us making out. Now that is really weird. Since when does Liz sense anything alien going on, sexually or otherwise. Liz is human. She shouldn’t be sensing anything alien at all. That’s just so weird. I wonder what other unusual things have been happening with those two?” Michael wonders allowed.

“Michael, you’re not going to try and sense them and whatever they’re doing are you? That’s sort of like spying on our friends or family. I don’t want to be doing that and getting private or embarrassing visual images. But some details are okay. Got it Michael? We just don’t need visuals of that kind, okay?” says Maria.

“Maria, I’ll try and see if I can sense them and just get a brief sense, and that’s all. I just need to know if it’s even possible. Believe me! I don’t want to see the visuals of Max and Liz making love or whatever sex game their playing. Okay, I’m going to try this, so I need you to be quiet, if you can, so I can concentrate,” requests Michael. Maria nods silently in agreement. Michael closes his eyes, his expression tells of his deep concentration. He tries to reach out with his mind, pooling his alien energy to find a sense of Max or Liz. He senses the two love birds are together, laughing and carrying on. Whoa! Michael stops and breaks the connection. He opens his eyes, stunned he could sense anything at all. Michael is surprised by this new realization and says aloud, “This is different, very different. I could never do that before. So why can I do this now? Does this have anything to do with Liz and Max’s new relationship status?,” puzzles Michael.

“Do you think this is a new power emerging for you Michael?,” asks a curious Maria. “It could be kind of cool. If used cautiously so as not to spy on our friends during less than G rated moments. Think about this Michael, this is so cool. Sort of like alien lo-jak Now if I could only tap into that when I need to find you, that would be even better.” speculates Maria.

“Let me get this straight. So now, you wish you had alien powers to keep tabs on me, huh,” says a flirtatious Michael with a smirk. He leans in towards her and puts one strong arm around her shoulders and pulls her towards him kissing her temple. “You’re amazing Maria, you know that. Don’t ever change, alright,” says a happy Michael.

“So Michael, does this mean we are officially together as a couple?,” asks Maria.

“Gees. What is it with you human women. Do I have to spell it out to you. It’s only so obvious.” Says Michael as he rolls his eyes. “We are definitely a couple unless you have any objections?.”

Maria hits Michael in the shoulder for his teasing her about what she said earlier. “Cut that out. I just really needed to hear you say it. We should think about heading back. School will be out soon,” says an excited Maria.

“Sure, in a little bit. We were rudely interrupted earlier, and we weren’t finished making out. I like to finish everything I start,” says Michael with a sexy smile.

Maria sighs sexily, looking at his face, and then his lips. “Well it’s important to always finish what you start, you know. It’s good not to procrastinate,” says Maria.

“Uh, Yeah. It’s important to follow through on important things, you know, like prioritize stuff,” says Michael as he kisses her neck.

Michael and Maria remain a while longer making out and exploring each other with their hands. Things get too hot between them and they remember their decision not to have their first time to be in the back seat of a car. They push themselves away from each other, this time. With the understanding soon, they won’t have to stop the loving affections they visit upon each other.

**************
Liz pushes the end button on the cell phone. Very pleased that she and Max successfully interrupted Michael and Maria. “Liiizzz. My inner bad boy needs you. You didn’t think I’d let you forget about that promise, did you? Time for me to collect, Babe?”

“But Max, what about the smores?” teases Liz.

“Dessert first, snack later, Babe,” says a very turned on Max.

“Your right, Hun, the snack can wait. But first you better take care of the cell phone. We don’t need any interruptions”, says Liz flirtatiously. Max swiftly grabs the cell phone sitting on the kitchen table and puts it on voice messaging.

He then walks slowly and purposefully toward Liz, as if he’s stalking her. He grabs and throws her over his shoulder and carries her ‘cave man’ style to the love seat in front of the fireplace. “I just thought of another place we need to make love, Liz”, smiles Max as he gently lowers her to the love seat. Max looks adoringly at her as he aligns himself to rest on top of her . Max wraps his arms around her possessively and claims her as his mate and wife by custom. The passion and desire they share quickly ignites. It’s as if they now have a constant craving for their mate that needs to be satisfied. Their lips lock in a lovers kiss, communicating their deep love and desire for each other that they know will never end.

Max revels in the knowledge that Liz is his forever. He loves the feel, touch, and scent of her bare skin. “Liz, I feel so good inside you. It’s been too long since we last . . .” Liz interrupts “. . . I know . . . An hour is way too long to be without your touch Max.”

“ I agree. How are we ever going to manage not being able to have each other so often,” says Max thinking about later and when they will have to leave the cabin.

Liz says, “Don’t think about that, my love. I just want to think about now, and how amazing you feel inside me.”

Max begins his intimate rhythm as Liz joins in on cue in perfect sync to his thrusts, meeting each one in pure perfection. Their hips drive in unison as the pace begins to increase at a comfortable rate. Neither of them want this heaven they’ve found in each other to end. Their hands roam freely over each others body, each savoring the touch and feel of the other.

Max seeks out Liz’s lips and claims them eagerly with his own as their tongues caress each others mouths. He changes his focus to Liz’s neck and lavishes it with a blazing trail of kisses making his way down to her breasts. Each touch and kiss speaks an unspoken language of two bonded soul mates sharing a deep love and desire.

“ I love you Max,” proclaims a breathless Liz.

“ I love you Liz,” exclaims a panting and now sweaty Max. He looks at her beautiful face, focuses on her brown eyes, and kisses her lips again while running a free hand through her long silky chocolate colored hair.

“God, Liz everything about you is so beautiful. And now you’re all mine. I’m so lucky to find you again in this life,” exclaims Max sharing his loving confessions.

The pace of their lovemaking increases once again, this time to an urgent pace as they both climb to their release.

“Oh God, Max . . . I think it’s starting. . .” moans Liz in ecstacy as she begins to feel her climax. “Max, Oh god, Max . . . I’m so close now Babe I can feel it. Don’t stop”confesses Liz as she looks up at his majestically handsome face and stares into his sexy amber colored eyes.

Part 6 continues in this post


She looks up at his majestically handsome face and stares into his sexy amber colored eyes. She moves her hands down to his firm muscular butt, urging his hips more forcefully into hers. She tingles and shivers with overwhelming ecstasy while holding on tight to Max, enjoying these still new powerful sensations only he can give her.

Max notes her orgasm. He frantically pumps his hips faster and deeper inside her. “God Liz, I love how I feel inside of you. You are my home. His pace increases once again. Oh God Liz, my Liz. Liz,”. . . chants a panting Max as he reaches the pinnacle of his peak. They continue in their intimate embrace until both have recovered from their release, catching their breath. They lay still in each others arms peacefully kissing and caressing each other . Max puts both arms around her and rolls her with him, onto his back. She rests her head on Max’s chest in complete love and contentment . Liz’s delicate hand tenderly traces over his strong chest and sexy sculpted abs. “Max, it amazes me that we have shared so much today. We’ve always known instinctively that it was our destiny to belong together. We are bonded like husband and wife, now. This day is full of indescribable feelings and surprising firsts for us. I can tell this is only just the beginning for us,” says a happy and satisfied Liz.

“Max, I think I could really go for some smores now,” says a smiling Liz.

Part 7

Liz takes the last roasted marshmallow from the roasting stick in the fireplace. She places it on one graham cracker and nestles it between a chunk of chocolate and a final top layer of graham cracker. She takes her final smore to her mouth and takes a bite. Liz closes her eyes savoring the wonderful combinations of sweetness formed in her mouth. “Mmmmmmm, oh mmmm. That tastes so good,” she moans in pleasure eating her smore.

Max is spellbound by the look on her beautiful face. Such concentrated pleasure. “Uh, Liz, uh are you done with the smores, Sweetheart?,” says Max. “I never would’ve thought that watching you eat a smore would be so erotic, but it sure as hell is. Damn, Liz are you ready for more studying?” asks a hopeful Max. His focus is on her Liz’s mouth as her tongue reaches for the chocolate on her upper lip, truly enjoying her smore. “Babe, I know one thing for sure. I need some more of you, now! You wouldn’t deny your beloved now, would you my love?,” pleads a suggestive Max wiggling his eyebrows.

“Me? Deny you all my love? Never Max. You should know that now, after all we have just shared,” says Liz. “First things first.” Liz leans toward Max who is sitting facing her. She kisses him tenderly and licks his lips and sides of his mouth. Liz brakes away from the kiss looking at him. “What? You had a bit of chocolate on your lips and the sides of your mouth. I was just getting that off for you,” replies a innocent Liz. “Now, that I got you cleaned up from eating smores . . .”, teases Liz. “We should probably clean up our lunch dishes and mess, then we can give some serious thought to studying”, says a playful Liz. She stands up and walks into the kitchen with their dirty dishes.

“Babe why don’t we just worry about that later,” says Max, looking ready to pounce and taking her right there.

“No, Max. We need to clean up this mess now, so we don’t forget and leave it like this. Besides the sooner we get our dishes washed and things cleaned up we can get back to studying. I seem to remember you saying something about trying your bed, but if you don’t help me I guess we’ll never find out,” replies a mischievous Liz.

A naked Max bolts up from his sitting position. He quickly runs past her, into the kitchen, and starts the cleaning in record time. “I think we’re all done in here,” says Max. He scans the room pleased that everything looks just as they found it. Now, what was that about trying out my bed here, in the cabin”, he says. Max scoops her still nude form up in his arms, carrying her down the hall to his room. Facing Max, Liz wraps her soft legs around Max’s waist allowing him to open the door with one hand. Max is so distracted that he momentarily forgets how to open a door. He turns the door knob and kicks the door open. Still balancing Liz, Max carefully pulls back the covers on his already made bed and deposits Liz on his bed. Max lays next to Liz while putting his hand on her hip. “If only homework was always this fulfilling,” says Max seductively. Max and Liz stare deeply into each others eyes getting lost in the love and desire they find in each other. It is as if they have found their true home in each other.“I suppose you thought that us making love on the love seat could hold us over. Not even close, Miss Parker. I have plans for us,” replies Max in a husky sexy voice.

“Um, Liz,” says Max as he tries to find just the right words to convey his idea. “Uh, I often overhear some locker room conversations regarding different things to try. . . Uh you know. I mean like stuff we’ve already done, but only different ways,” says a blushing and embarrassed Max.

Liz attempts to alleviate Max’s obvious discomfort at this delicate topic of conversation, “You know Max, guys aren’t the only ones who talk about that stuff in the locker room. Girls talk too, sharing way too many details about what happens on their dates with their boyfriends. Then shamefully compare notes on the results afterwards.

Max is visibly stunned to learn that girls talk about that stuff. “You mean they talk about details and private and intimate situations, too. I would never share any of our details together, Liz. That’s private and just between us. I don’t want you to share that kind of information with Maria and most definitely not Isabel, or anyone else” offers a worried Max.

“Not to worry, Babe,” consoles Liz as she looks longingly into Max’s eyes. “Just what exactly is it you want to try?”

An embarrassed Max says, “Well . . .It’s too hard for me to explain. Perhaps if we just share each others thoughts.” And with that, Max takes Liz’s hand and they share visions of the possibilities.

“So . . . lets try,” suggests a playful Max. Liz trust Max, but is curious, not knowing exactly what to expect. Liz notices Max’s soldier is at full attention as he moves to his back.

“Max, I want to try this.” Liz is facing Max as she straddles his hips while helping to guide his manhood into her waiting passage.

“Liz, lean forward more. Yeah. Like that,” says Max.

Liz moans, “Oh Max, that feels so good,”

“We were made for each other,” says Max panting between his melodic cadence pumping of his hips upwards into hers. Max’s hands tenderly hold Liz’s breast while using his thumbs to draw intricate circles around her erect nipples. Liz moans. Max glides his hands towards Liz’s sides then down to her hips. Max swiftly sits up with Liz still straddling him as he wraps his arms around her. He craves to kiss and nip at her breasts causing the heat of their lovemaking to intensify another notch. His hands then grip Liz’s hips guiding her movements.

“I love you Max,” exclaims Liz breathlessly. While meeting his grinding hips seeking their own synchronous momentum with her pumping movements.

“I always dreamed that if we ever made love it would be amazing. I never imagined it would be so beautiful and perfect,” confides Max.

“Liz looks into his beautifully masculine face, and says” I know. I dreamed about us like this, too,” says Liz.

“Oh God . . . Max, Max, my Max.... Oh God,” exclaims Liz.

Max reads Liz’s face for indications of her pleasure, and realizes she is there. . .finding her peak. “Oh Liz . . . My Liz . . Liz. God, I love you, Liz. I can’t hold back”, exclaims Max as he follows seconds behind her. They reveal in the pleasure as they ride the waves of their mutual orgasm. He feels himself spilling his hot seed into Liz, his bonded mate. They bask in the afterglow finding the loving calm after the passion subsides. Max wraps his arms around her so that she will recline on to his bed taking him with her. They lie in each others now contented arms for several minutes in a tender embrace. They continue to touch and kiss each other not wanting this moment to end.

Liz moans, “Mmmm. . .Max. I love your unleashed bad boy side. You’ve changed me twice in this lifetime, each time by your touch. I’m not the same Liz Parker that I was this morning. I guess you’ve unleashed the bad girl in me.

Max touches her face gently as he looks deeply into her eyes. “There is nothing bad about us making love. This is our expressing of love for each other. Nothing bad or shameful about that, Liz. We are considered married now by Antarian custom. We are simply enjoying our honeymoon, brief though it may be,” comments Max.

“I’ve certainly got no complaints,” says Liz.

Max’s thoughts drift sadly to when he takes her home. “What are we going to do when I take you home later and we are forced to sleep apart, Liz?,”asks Max.

“Sweetheart, we’ll figure it out. I know we could put that ladder on my balcony to use. You can come over after my parents are asleep and spend the night with me. I have another idea. I could sneak out to your house and climb through your bedroom window after your parents are asleep and we could be together then. I suppose for now, that’s what we’ll have to do in the mean time. Ooh, we could come out here on the weekends when your parents aren’t planning to use it. We’d have to get Michael, Maria and Isabel to cover for us with some plausible cover story,” says a cheerful and hopeful Liz.

“I know your right. It’s just we shouldn’t have to sneak around like were ashamed of what we have and what we mean to each other. I’m not ashamed Liz, I don’t want to sneak around forever though. Be warned Liz Parker, I plan to make this official sometime in the near future, you understand. I love you and I want us to be together. I want to be able to wake with you in my arms and look at your beautiful face in the morning and be able to love each other whenever we want. With no more sneaking around. What we have together is special and unique, just like us. We are one soul split in half that has searched for it’s other half to be made whole once again. Liz, you complete me and make me whole. I don’t ever want to be a part from you ever again in this life time or any other. We’ve already done that and I will not allow it to happen to us again, my love. You are too precious to me,” Max says pouring out his heart to her.

“Max, you know that’s how I feel too. I want for us to be together always. We belong together. No matter what, we can not allow anyone to interfere with our relationship. Not even teachers or our parents. We will just have to do this covertly for a while. We will need to be careful and quiet about our nocturnal habits”, Liz offers a small laugh. She just now registers Max’s hint of a marriage proposal coming soon. “Hey, what was with that warning. Care to elaborate on that Mr. Evans?,” says a blushing Liz.

“Oh I think you know what I was getting at Miss Parker. Be ready. One day soon I’ll have a question for you to answer. I can only hope what your answer will be,” says Max.

“Max, I love you and have committed myself to you fully by bonding to you for eternity. Do you really think my answer would be anything other than, Yes? But since you haven’t officially asked me anything yet. I guess I’ll just need some convincing to give you a yes answer, when you ask me. Think your up to putting in your best efforts to convince me until then, Max,” Liz teases.
“Believe me Liz, I plan on giving you all my undivided attention. I’ll use all my best alien powers of persuasion to convince you to make it official, by Earth customs.

“Babe, I think I need to just hold you a while longer before we move from this bed. Then we can get up and go take a shower, okay,” says Max.

“What time is it Max?,” says Liz.

Max lifts his head from her chest, and looks over at his alarm clock “It’s 3 ‘o clock. We’re still good on time, nothing to worry about,” says Max as he kisses the top of her nose and smiles at her.

“Oh good. I’m not looking forward to going home.” says Liz. “Hey, maybe, tonight after you take me home. You could come back over later, after my parents fall asleep, and make use of the ladder on my balcony. Unless you think you’ll be too tired, or busy doing homework catching up on today’s assignments,” says Liz.

“I like that plan. Call me when you think it’s a good time to come over, okay,” says Max.

“I will, count on it. Let’s go take that shower now, Max.”

Max stands up. “Your wish is my command, my love.” He boughs, offers his hand to her escorting her to the bathroom.

“Does the hot water heater work out here? I mean it probably hasn’t ran hot water through it’s pipes in a while. We will probably wind up taking a cold shower together,” Liz laughs. “As if that would stop us.”

“Isabel and I usually use our powers to heat the water in the hot water heater and the pipes when my parents bring us here. So it’s never a problem. Don’t worry Liz I’ll make sure to keep you warm and comfortable,” Max replies, with a sexy smile and a kiss.

“Why Mr. Evans is that some sort of proposition?”, teases Liz in a mock expression of shock.

“No, not at all, it’s a promise. I’ll be the one to keep you warm and comfort you always Liz. You are my bonded soul mate, and wife, even if not by Earth’s customs. That’s what being bonded meant from the flashes we saw, and it’s how I feel about you now and forever Liz,” says Max looking deeply and lovingly into her eyes.

“ I know that Max. I feel like we’re married now, too. Somehow, I don’t think our parents are going to be ready to hear this news anytime soon, about us being essentially married . We’ll just have to keep it under wraps until we are ready to tell them somehow, I guess,” says Liz.

“Hopefully we won’t have to deal with that anytime soon. If our parents do begin to suspect, we will just cross that bridge together when we come to it. Okay, no sense in worrying about things that haven’t happened yet, Sweetheart,” says Max.

“You’re right Max, that’s just how we’ll have to handle this. It’ll be fine. Max, but if they do realize that we are intimate they’ll want to separate us. I don’t think I could bear being separated from you ever,” a tearful Liz comments.

“I know, my love. We won’t allow anyone, no matter who it is to separate us ever again. We found each again in this life, we are not going to be separated. I promise you that Liz,” Max states definitively.

“I guess I needed to hear you say that you felt as strongly as I do if it comes to us facing down our parents. I love you and I want us to be together always,” says Liz as she lovingly touches his face with her hand and smiles up at him.

“I’d better heat up that water then. I can’t have my beloved bonded wife showering in freezing cold water, now can I?” Max offers with a smile. Max visibly relieved they are in complete agreement as to how they should handle things with their parents.

“The water temperature is just perfect, thanks Max. You know Max, you could be awfully handy around the house,” Liz says scanning the perfection of his sculpted muscular bare body. Oh yeah, definitely, and in every room of the house, too,” Liz replies sexily.

“Why Miss Parker are you coming on to me?,” says Max playfully.


“Babe, if you have to ask. I must not be doing it right,” says Liz brazenly with her hands on her hips.

“Oh, you definitely are doing it right. Any propositions you want to ask me I’ll gladly answer, even if it takes all night,” says Max in a deep sexy tone.

“You are soo going to get lucky, Babe,” says Liz playfully. She steps into the shower and winces in pain, noticeably sore from her recent activities with Max.

“Liz! What’s wrong? Your in pain! Show me where the pain is and I’ll heal you, okay”, states a concerned Max. She shows him its from her lower region. “Oh, Sweetheart, I’m soo sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you. We don’t’ have to make love again if it’s hurting you. You should tell me if it’s hurting you, I can heal you so there is no pain or soreness,” says Max with loving concern.

“Babe, you had better heal me, now! Because like I said before you are soo going to get lucky. It would be much more enjoyable without the pain and soreness. You had better heal me, damn it! Max,” says a frustrated Liz.

Max lowers his hand to the source of her soreness. “Liz you have to look at me, okay,” says Max. He concentrates mentally scanning her reproductive organs he finds where she is injured and sore. His hand begins to glow brightly. “Liz, look at me,” says Max. He focuses on sending his healing energy into her body removing any soreness and mending any tiny tears from inside her caused by their sexual experiences. Max finishes healing her and then quickly scans her to make sure he’s taken care of everything. Satisfied he has completed his task, he breaks his concentration and his connection to her. “How do you feel now, Sweetheart?” asks a concerned Max.

“I feel great now, thanks Babe. There was a really warm and tingly sensation when you healed me. See, I was right. You are handy to have around the house. I’m okay, I won’t break. Besides, I believe you mentioned answering my propositions. I plan on holding you to that,” says Liz amorously.

“Liz are you sure. I don’t want to hurt you,” he says worriedly. Max takes a few steps to walk away from her giving her some distance not wanting to make her feel she has to make love with him, if it will cause her any soreness.

“Max Evans! If you don’t get your hybrid-ass in here now, and make love to me, I won’t let you touch me ever again. Now, that were eternally bonded, that could be one very long dry spell for the both of us,” laughs Liz.

“When you put it like that... You never have to tell me twice that you want me to make love to you,” says a very aroused Max. He takes quick determined steps back to Liz grabs her in his capable arms, picks her up, and swiftly carries her into the shower. All the while, he kisses her breathless with renewed desire. He slowly lowers her from his embrace, allowing her to stand on her own. They stand facing each other under the showers warm spray. The expressions of love, passion, and hunger reflects on their faces as they look at each other.

“Liz, I love your hair. Can I wash your hair? I’ve always wanted to do this . . . It’s been one of my fantasies to shower with you and wash every part of you. I suppose it’s okay now if I admit that I have these fantasies about you. I really love your hair Liz. I hope you don’t think this sounds strange. I love being able to be so open with you like this, sharing my every thought and fantasy with you,” confesses Max.

Liz blushes by his confession of his fantasies of her. “Sure, Max. On one condition.. I get to wash every part of you, too,” offers Liz. “You know Babe, your not the only one with fantasies,” Liz admits boldly.

Liz presses her soft naked back into Max’s sculpted lean chest. She relishes and savors the sensation of his warm strong presence and his gentle caress as he massages the shampoo into her hair. He turns his attention to lathering every part of her beautiful naked form as he adoringly washes and caresses her. With firm hands he traces every inch of her body, invigorating every part of her with his touch. This is unlike any shower she’s ever taken before. She moans in response to his obvious arousal pressing into her lower back.

“God, Max, what you do to me. I can’t take this anymore,” gasps Liz. She reaches behind her feeling his chest and thighs pressed firmly to her. She turns and faces him. “It’s your turn Max,” says Liz with a fiery gaze. She slowly scans her bonded mates adonis-like naked form from head to toe. Her eyes devours his bare body, with much approval. She takes the soap from his hand and turns her attention to him. Slowly, Liz begins to lather and massage Max’s chest. Gradually working her delicate hands over his chiseled abs, wandering further down. She eagerly reaches for his ridged hardness. Liz begins stroking his sex gently back and forth increasing her intensity.

Max closes his eyes, overwhelmed by the sensations she’s giving him. He groans in ecstacy, “Liz, Baby, you had better stop or its all over before it even starts,”gasps Max. He gently removes her hand from him and guides her until her back is against the shower wall. Max presses himself up against her, as he embraces her in a hot passionate kiss. Breaking the kiss off momentarily. Liz pants, “ I don’t think this is going to work in here. There’s just not enough room in this small shower stall.”

Max is flustered at this revelation. He thinks quickly. “My parents have a hot tub on the deck out back. We could try that,”suggests a hopeful Max.

“Max, you didn’t tell me there was a hot tub here. Oh but, wait, it probably would be way too cold not being heated up or anything,” says Liz.

Max says, “Liz, I can heat it up,” he smiles raising his hand.

“You can heat a lot of things up with your touch.” says a flirtatious Liz.

They kiss desperately seeking each others lips. His tongue licks across her lips seeking consent to her mouth. He is rewarded when she opens her mouth and grants him access. They end the kiss to take a breath. Max looks at her mischievously, “ I’ll race you to the hot tub Liz,” he says as he streaks past her.

Liz laughs as he runs naked past her. “You think you can beat me, just watch this,” says Liz as she easily sprints past him. “You may be taller and stronger, but I’m shorter and faster,” says Liz triumphantly after beating Max to the hot tub.

Max smiles at her and says, “ Maybe so, Babe. I’d gladly lose to you any day.” He reaches for her hand and kisses it. “ It looks like mom and dad had the pool cleaners out to clean it, because the cover is back on. Can you help me with removing the hot tub cover, Liz?”

Together, they quickly remove the covering and gain access to the hot tub. “Okay, it’ll just be a couple of minutes for me to heat the hot tub up for us,” he says as he moves his hand into the cold water.

“Hey, let me help you with that. Remember the flashes we saw earlier. They tell us that I have or will have powers too. I’d like to try to heat up the water, Max,” says Liz as she also puts a hand in the water.

Max explains, “Okay. It’s actually quite easy, Liz. Just focus on a single molecule of water and use you mind to heat it up. Think of the hydrogen and oxygen. Move them back and forth against each other to create friction. It may take a while, being your first time, but go ahead and try to see what happens.”

“It feels like something is trying to happen, but it’s not quite right. I can’t do it,” baffles Liz.

“Here let me help you. Connect with me Liz, and you can see how I do this. Maybe that will help you more than describing it. Okay, let’s try that,” Max offers smiling at her.

“Sure,” smiles Liz, anxious to try this experiment using her powers. Liz places her hand on top of Max’s, then they reach into the water. Her other hand is on Max’s temple as he concentrates to open his connection with Liz. Liz sees into Max’s mind and learns what needs to be done to summon her powers. After learning the technique from Max, Liz breaks the physical connection from Max’s mind.

“Oh, I understand now. I think I can do that. I’ll try now,”says Liz. She places her hand back into the water with new understanding. She tries again. Liz closes her eyes and pictures the molecules that comprise water. She pictures them reacting with friction. This causes them to heat up. After a short while, the water begins to heat and Liz stirs her hand in the water. Liz opens her eyes and smiles excitedly at Max.

“Max, I did it, I did it!,” Liz shouts as she jumps up and down joyous over this new discovery.

Max embraces his love in a hug of acceptance and pride at her first successful attempt with her powers. “What an amazing day of firsts this is for us, Liz,” replies Max beaming with love and pride at her.

“Max, before today, I wasn’t even aware that I had powers or that I was like you. Now, it’s like a whole new beginning for me. None of this changes the way I feel about you, I love you no matter what,” declares Liz.

I know this is a lot to digest in one day with all that we’ve learned today, so far. We haven’t really talked about this, but how is all this setting with you, Liz?” I hope all this hasn’t frightened you, has it?,” asks Max.

“I’m not frightened of what we have learned today about ourselves. I’m not scared of finding out we had a past life together. Although, I do wonder why I have no memories of my pod or anything alien about myself before today. You, Michael, and Isabel have always known that you were hatched or released from a pod. You knew that you were different from others. It seems as if I’ve had a vague awareness of things beyond my recollection. Now they have come into focus, clicking into place. Sure, all the information from the flashes definitely were chalked full of surprises for the both of us, but I’m not freaked out. I can handle anything as long we are together,” replies Liz.

“I love you, Liz. Thank you for accepting and understanding me, and all of this alien stuff that’s happening with us. It’s a lot to take in, so if you want to talk about it, I’m always here for you. We’re in this together, Liz. You’re my love, my heart, my soul, and most importantly my bonded mate,”Max says with all sincerity.

“Let’s try one more experiment,” says Liz in full scientist mode. “Why don’t we each put our joined hands, with the tattoo’s, in the water and see what happens. Let’s make the water hotter together using our combined powers,” says a grinning Liz.

“Sure Liz, we can try this, but don’t forget about our involving the hot tub,” says Max with a sexy smile. They put their joined tattooed palms into the water and focused their combined powers on heating up the water.

“It worked . We heated up all the water in the hot tub in just a few seconds. That’s amazing Liz,”states an enthusiastic Max. “You know what this means. It means, we need to start training you on your powers right away,” he says as he holds her in his arms and kisses her.

“I seem to recall that you had plans for us to use this hot tub. Correct me if I’m wrong on that Max,” states Liz suggestively.

“No, you’re right. We really should enjoy the fruits of our labor,” says Max eyeing Liz’s bare body. He steps down into the hot tub and offers his hand out to her. She steps down into the hot tub.

They sink into the warm relaxing water of the hot tub together. Savoring the soothing comfort of the heated water as it envelops them and eases tired muscles.

“How’s the temperature, Liz?,” asks Max.

“It’s just fine, it feels great,” replies Liz.

“Good.. I want you to feel comfortable,” says Max as he moves closer. He urgently seeks out her lips with his own. He begins with soft gentle kisses that quickly intensify into heat waves of mutual hunger and desire. Max welcomes her into his loving arms as they begin to make love in the hot tub.

Liz faces Max and straddles his lap kissing his lips fervently. They probe each others mouths with their ravenous tongues. She brakes from their kiss long enough to catch her breath. Liz resumes her sensuous assault by kissing his neck. Next, Liz trails her tongue down to his wonderfully muscular chest and abs. She shows her appreciation of her beloved’s body by kissing and nipping him lightly as she continues. Creating a fiery path of love and desire in her wake.

“God Liz, I need you. I can’t take any more and not be joined with you .” As if on cue, Liz positions her hips allowing a very aroused Max access to her. She impales herself on his erect hardened sex. They both moan simultaneously at this still new overwhelming sensation of being together in this way. Together they begin a slow, erotic, tempo joined intimately in a lovers dance.

“Max, you feel so incredible. God, I love how you feel inside of me,” moans Liz.

“God Liz, you feel so warm, and tight. Uhhh”, moans Max. “I can’t stop wanting to love you like this. This feels so right,” pants Max with his eyes locked on hers. His gaze telling further of his love for her. He moves his hands from her hips and wraps his arms around her bringing her body flush with his. He kisses and sucks on her neck as he whispers in her ear. “I promise to love you for eternity, Liz.”

“I promise to love you for eternity. Oh God, that feels so good. Your sucking and kissing on my neck. I think I’m addicted to you now. To hell with chocolate, I got you.” pants Liz as she closes her eyes in pure ecstacy. Their once gentle caresses have become hungry and needy, heightened by loving confessions uttered to each other.

Max makes his way to her breasts, kissing her succulent skin as he goes. He fondles and touches her breasts devoting attention on one then the other. He takes one of her breasts to his mouth and sucks and brushes his tongue against her nipple. Noticing Liz’s reaction to his magical tender nuzzling of her breast, he searches her face for an indication of her pleasure.

“Max, that’s. . . that feels amazing. Don’t stop,” exclaims Liz moaning in pleasure as she runs her hands through his soft dark hair, pulling his head closer to her chest.

Liz quickens her pace moving up and down on his manhood. He thrusts his hips up into hers, driving himself deeper inside her passage. She follows his movements in perfect sync. “Kiss me Max. I need to feel your lips on mine.”

Max quickly switches his affections to her lips. Overcome with nearly peaked desire, he takes her lips sensually and kisses her mouth as his tongue seeks hers, imitating the act of their lovemaking. Their kisses are hungry and consuming with their unquenchable love and desire. Deep enough to last two lifetimes extending beyond the galaxy where it all first began. Their two souls have found their way back to each other finding their one true home. . . in each others hearts, souls, and arms.
“Oh Babe, I don’t think I can hang on much longer,” gasps Max.

“Max, I’m so close now... I can feel it. . . It’s starting”, exclaims a breathless Liz. She clutches him to her, running her hands thru his hair and across his strong back. His thrusts become frantic, grinding into her center. His control shatters. She shivers from the sheer power of their orgasms. “Oh god, Max, my Max... I love you,” pants Liz.

They continue their pace, riding out their orgasms. They hear the sound of skin making contact with skin, lapping water furiously in perfect time bringing the waves of their orgasm to full completion. Liz feels his hot shaft pulsating inside her, reveling in the feeling of his life giving seed spilling into her. Through their connection she literally feels the climax he’s experiencing.

“Max I can feel what you’re feeling, right now,” she gasps, smiling at him as a woman thoroughly just been made love to by the man she loves.

“What?,” asks a stunned Max.

“I mean, your emotions. I know what you were thinking and feeling as it was happening, Max,” Liz proudly shares her new discovery.

“Really. I have a confession to make, I could feel your emotions too, Liz. I knew what you liked as a touched you by sensing your reaction through our connection. I just never realized that our connection extended to our lovemaking too. Is that cheating using our connection like that? I know that this new development is not something we planned. It just happened. Besides you can’t accuse me of cheating if you did the same thing?” laughs Max.

“I guess this is yet another perk of being made love to by an alien,” replies Liz as she kisses his lips tenderly.

“Hey, who are you calling an alien, Babe,” counters Max playfully. “As I recall from the images, the flash informed us that you’re an alien too, Liz. Remember?”, teases Max lovingly. “In fact, we were recreated for each other in this lifetime. Except, this time around you’re my bonded mate and I’m never letting anything happen to you. So, once again your stuck with me,” says Max with a smile.

Part 7 Continued in this post

“I’m stuck with you, huh? Well I guess that’s fair. We couldn’t get enough of each other in our past life, so ‘the powers that be’ saw fit to give us this life to love each other again. This way, we can accomplish all that we didn’t get done before. So, yeah. I can handle a second lifetime of loving you completely, and being loved by you completely,” Liz answers with a sexy smile.

“Max, we should probably think about another shower and getting dressed. We‘ll need to head back to town, go to your house, get our assignments, and talk to Isabel,” Liz reminds Max.

“I know. I was hoping you’d forget so we could stay in this cabin for a while longer. But your right as usual,” states Max. He helps her up from his lap. They stand together getting out of the hot tub and replace it’s cover.

“Come on Babe, move your cute hybrid ass to the shower. Now,” says Liz urging him the shower.

“Hey, who are you calling a hybrid, love,” says a teasing Max.

“Okay, point taken,” says a playful Liz.

“We have to hurry before our parents think we’re missing and have Sheriff Valenti searching for us allover the town. Now that would be embarrassing. Can you imagine the Sheriff finding us out here in the cabin like this? That’s so not how I want to break the news to our parents,” states Liz .

“Yeah, your right Liz. We had better shower and dress before anything like that happens,” says Max. He does not want their incredible time together at the cabin to end, but understands it has to, at least for the brief time being.

They quickly shower together. Equally annoyed by the small shower limiting the distinct possibility of any lovemaking in there. “Oh well. There is always later tonight Liz,” says a hopeful Max.

Liz smiles. “Thanks for trying to cheer me up. You realize I’ll have to hold you to that later, Max,” replies Liz longingly.

“Are you kidding? I’m looking forward to it,” replies Max with a smile and a kiss.

Liz looks down appreciatively at Max, stops her gaze below his waist and smiles, “I can see that you’re looking forward to later,” teases Liz.

He is very anxious with anticipation as they dress and begin to straighten up the cabin. “At least we will only be separated by a just a few short hours,” comments Max.

“Thank you for saying that, Max. I know this is going to be hard for me, too. Let’s hope that the time will pass quickly, until later tonight when we can be together again,” says Liz.

“Liz, can you help me fold that big blanket lying on the floor?
Over there by the fireplace?” Max points in the direction of the blanket.

“Yeah.” says Liz. She walks over and picks up the blanket. Liz shakes out one end of the blanket towards Max. He grabs his end opposite hers. They walk toward each other and finish folding the blanket by meeting her in the middle. Their palms touch as their lips meet in a kiss. They brake off the kiss as they notice the palms of their hands. Their tattooed palms are touching and glowing brightly. So brightly that the room is filled with brilliant white light as it envelopes them both.

“Uh, Max, why is this happening now?” asks a bewildered Liz.
“I have a feeling if this is anything like the other time, we will soon find out,” says Max just as bewildered.

Liz’s mind races. They look at each other and form a mental connection. Surprisingly, Max is able to read Liz’s thoughts as she projects to Max. ‘Max, this has to do with the tattoos on our palms touching, or something. But why? There must be more to the meaning behind the tattoo’s than what we originally thought,’ thinks Liz, trying desperately to decipher this significance.

Suddenly the image of a beautiful, mature yet youthful woman appears like an interactive three dimensional holographic image. She is dressed in regal manner, and the way she carries herself speaks of nobility. The woman’s image stands in front of them. She looks from Max to Liz and offers a prideful smile, nodding her approval. The regal mature beauty speaks to them introducing herself as Arianna, Max’s mother. Max and Liz are both astonished that this woman is looking directly at them as if she’s actually in the room. She greatly resembles Isabel’s appearance with the same shade of long blonde hair, and statuesque beauty.

Max says, “I don’t understand. Why are you here? Are you really here with us now? I have so many questions for you Mother. Will you please try to answer them for me and for my beloved,” he says as he wraps his arms around Liz.

“Of course, my son. I’ll be happy to explain things to you and answer any questions you or your lovely bride Liz may have,” says Arianna very graciously to her son and now daughter-in-law.

“How did you know our names?” Asks an inquisitive Liz not frightened by her mother-in-law’s sudden appearance.

“Well Liz, I have been watching the four of you four many years now, watching you grow up and seeing moments in your lives. My powers allow me to do this. But, to actually have you see me and make verbal contact with you is only possible because of the prophecy. Some believe that the prophecy was merely a legend. That is, until you two unlocked the truth of it by your bonding ceremony. For our people, the bonding ceremony is a marriage ceremony.

Max and Liz nod in agreement. Max offers, “We understand that the bonding is like a marriage ceremony. But what about this prophecy and how does it relate to us?”

Arianna continues, “First of all, your bonding is special and unique because you share a deep love for each other that has lasted more than one life time. This is possible because our best scientist recreated both of you for each other. The two of you, along with Michael and Isabel, were cloned by mixing your past life alien DNA with human genetic material. You were sent to Earth to fulfill a special purpose by seeing if it was possible for our people to colonize and live peacefully amongst humans. Our own planets resources have been nearly depleted by our enemies. Enemies like the ones that murdered you in your previous lives.

Max says,”Liz and I have already seen the past vision of our murder, but tell us more of this prophecy. Colonize? Are there others like us here, on Earth? What are we supposed to do here exactly? I’m afraid Liz and I will have a lot of questions since we are completely in the dark about this,” says a very curious Max..

“Well my son, in our Antarian history there is a prophecy about four Antarians known as the ‘Destined Four’. The “Destined Four’ are leaders of our people and will possess powers greater than any Antarians. This power will come from what you on Earth call ‘love’. The Destined Four, with their bonded mates, will use this power to save Antar and defeat our enemies. The colonist arrived on Earth at the same time as the four of you. By the four of you I mean that you Max, your bride Liz, your sister Isabel, and of course your brother the second in command, Michael.” Max and Liz share a look after learning that Michael is Max’s brother. “You Destined Four were all just babies not yet ready to be outside your pods. The colonists had to find someplace nearby and wait and hope that you indeed survived the crash in 1947. With such secrecy surrounding the location of your pods your followers started to wonder if any of you survived. I knew the ‘Destined Four’ had survived, but was unable to communicate with you except by dreams or until the bonding of you and Liz. I chose not to communicate with the colonists for fear of our enemies intercepting any communications. What made me realize it was the prophecy being fulfilled is that you two share something that is rare among Antarians but is unique to the prophecy. Love. It is the strength of your love that will fulfill the prophecy. Comprehend that love is something that we don’t readily understand or see in our culture. In our world it happens so rarely it’s almost like a genetic mutation or fate. But even in your past life you loved each other and were killed before the bonding ever took place. No one knew you were the destined leaders of the prophecy. In your case you are bonded with Liz. Michael will bond with Maria.. Isabel will bond with Liz’s friend Alex. It is this bond of love, friendship, and trust that will help you to defeat your enemies. You will all need to train, develop your powers, and strengthen your abilities because your enemies are coming.

I’m sorry, Arianna , I don’t understand how Maria and Alex, who I know are both human, are going to help us to strengthen our powers. Are they going to get powers after they bond too?,” asks Liz.

Yes, my dear. In a way. But their powers will not be like yours or the others in the Destined Four. Your powers were just suppressed, until your bonding with Max. Your friends powers will be a catalyst. They will combine their individual energies which will compliment and intensify the powers of their future bonded mates. Your friends love and friendship will play an important role by amplifying Michael and Isabel’s powers for the Destined four. Alex and Maria are the only people they can bond with. . . They may not be alien in origins but they are genetically enhanced so they could suitably bond with Antarians. Let me explain. Our people visited Earth many times. Often the scientists and doctors would select humans to test and study. Never to harm them. Only to find out our differences and then release them wiping their memory free of the encounter. Both Alex and Maria’s mothers were taken while pregnant. Since then, our scientists have learned much from cloning you, and enhancing Alex and Maria. Their findings make it possible for humans and Antarians to bond. They have learned other break through technologies that will accommodate the mixing of both races making Earths’ colonization much more successful. I know this because I have seen this development through my dream walking the doctors and scientists that are there with the colonists,” says Arianna.

Max asks, “Would you please tell us more about our enemies, Mother?”

Arianna continues to inform Max and Liz, “You will know the first enemies you encounter. They are Tess and Nasedo. You have already been shown their images. They will still look the same as when you knew them in your past life because pure bred Antarians age very slowly. Hybrids age at the same rate until they emerge from their pods, then they’ll age at the human rate. Remember to share the images of Tess and Nasedo with your brother and sister immediately. Tess and Nasedo will be on a mission to destroy you all, and conquer Earth. They will try and pass themselves as Antarian hybrids, like you. They are not. Nasedo, the man, was supposed to be a protector of you four. Instead, he betrayed you by helping Tess kill you. This Nasedo is a shape shifter, he is able to make his body conform to take on the shape of anything or anyone. Tess and Nasedo are actually bonded mates with a thirst for power and evil. In your past life, Tess tried to seduce you Max. But you wanted nothing to do with her. Even in that lifetime, Max, you only had eyes for Liz. Tess thought she could conceive your heir, kill you along with the others, and put Nasedo in charge of leading Antar with her at his side. The people would be forced to accept them because of your heir. When you continually refused Tess’s advances, she became enraged and she and Nasedo plotted to kill you all. They decided to lie about an heir. Their plan almost worked except for Khivar, another enemy. None of our enemies knew that you had survived the crash. But they will know now, because my seeing and talking to you is made possible by your bonding which has in turn has activated the Granilith.”

“Okay, we have a couple of questions. What is the Granilith? And who is Khivar?,” asks Liz.

“The Granilith is both a religious relic and a sentient being of great power. It is a source of great power sent with you to help govern and direct it’s power to preserve the remnants of our race,” informs Arianna. “The Granilith can only be activated by the true legacy of Antar’s leaders. As the leaders of the ‘Destined four’ it was your bonding that has activated the Granilith. It was believed to have been missing, it’s location unknown ‘til now. Your bonding has activated the Granilith. It acknowledges your bonding as the leaders of the ‘Destined Four’, as in the prophecy. The Granilith blesses your bonding and helps me to boost my powers allowing me to do more than just see or hear you. The Granilith has enabled me to speak to you directly while I’m still on Antar. You four are the guardians of the Granilith. You must protect and hide it from our enemies.


“Where is this Granilith?” Asks Max.

Oh, it is hidden in the same place as your three pods are located, behind the false rock wall. You know where they are now, Max”, answers Arianna.

“Khivar!” Says Arianna with contempt in her voice, “Was another of our enemies. He is the leader of an enemy faction whose main priority was to destroy the leadership of Antar by killing your father, and seizing Antar as his own possession. He wanted to take over the leadership of not just Antar, but of all the home planets of our “V” constellation of planets. Khivar found out about Tess and Nasedo’s plan to kill your father and take over Antar removing any possibility of himself taking over the leadership of Antar. Khivar was enraged learning of their plot to kill your father and sought them out to exact his vengence by killing Tess and Nasedo. Tess and Nasedo fled when they found out that Smitak, another more evil enemy saw this as an ideal situation to fight Khivar for control of Antar. This distracted both Khivar and Smitak as Tess and Nasedo made their escape from Antar. Our enemies have been searching for you and the Granilith in an attempt to seize as much power as possible to feed their own evil desires.”

“Arianna, why is it that I have no memory of being in my pod or that I’m alien like Max? I know that Max has memories of coming out of his pod as do Michael and Isabel. Why was it different for me?,” asks a puzzled Liz.

“Liz, my dear, it was predestined that you not know of your alien status until after bonding with Max. This was encoded in your DNA by design. I’m assuming you saw the images from the flash your bonding unlocked showing how you all were cloned. Liz you were the last to be cloned and this was added to you specifically as a safety measure to protect your true identity. The more normal you appeared the less attention you would attract. Also, if our enemies came to Earth they would be searching for the energy signal given off by the pods. It takes all four pods together, in close proximity to create an Antarian energy signature. Your true and trustworthy protector, Cal, moved you Liz to a safer location on purpose. By ensuring your safety it also ensured the safety of Max, your brother-in-law and sister-in-law,” answers Arianna admiring the way Liz’s mind works.
“Okay, that explains that. But why didn’t I have powers until now?,” asks Liz inquisitively.

“Oh yes. Well that, my dear Liz, happened because it was not necessary for you to have your powers until after you and Max bonded. That too, was implemented in your encoding unique to you, Liz. Your powers have begun to manifest and will rapidly emerge now that your bonding has been made complete,” states Arianna.

“Liz and I also want to know why did I and Michael experience physical and behavioral changes recently?” asks Max.

“This has happened because your bonding had already began when you healed Liz, your beloved . You both acknowledged and embraced your love for each other in this lifetime. The changes you speak of occurred when you attempted to deny the bonding that had already begun. Your biological drives and encoding began to override this decision. As you know now, our people bond for eternity and is irrevocable. My son, you can not deny what is true and destined . You were in love with Liz. She was secretly in love with you. When you healed her, that’s when the bonding process started . You chose each other and marked Liz as yours. Later, when you chose to walk away from her, taking a step back, your genetic encoding became active, and that caused the drastic changes to your eye color and personality. Max, as the leader of our people, you are encoded as the trigger for both yours and Michael’s encoding to activate. Like wise Liz, as co-leader of our people, you are the trigger for both yours and Isabel’s encoding to activate. In other words, Max, this all was put in motion when you chose Liz again, in this lifetime then tried to take a step back.”

“I have a questions about these tattoos and what do these symbols mean?,” asks a curious Max.
He quickly shows his mother both his and Liz’s palms with the identical tattoos.

“Yes, the prophecy foretold that the true leaders of the Destined Four would bear these marks on their palms,” spoke Arianna. “The large and prominent ‘V’ stands for our home star constellation of which Antar is located. It is the configuration of our constellation. There are five planets that make up the “V” constellation and one of them is ours, Antar. The two inner locking circles represent both Earth and Antar being inter-dependant for their survival. With the ‘Destined Four’ growing up on Earth knowing the customs and culture you will act as a unifying force creating an allegiance among both planets. That’s why the bonding is so important involving both Isabel and Michael and their chosen yet to be bonded mates in Alex and Maria . They truly play an important role in all this as do you both. The other symbol means infinity as I’m sure you both know. The infinity symbol here means that your love and dedication to each other will change the course of both planets and peoples. We do not wish to take over or invade but merely have the right to exist peacefully along side humans. The ‘Destined four’ and their yet to be bonded mates play an important role in the future of both planets as well as it’s history.

“Mother, we will be ready for Tess and Nasedo,” says Max.

Arianna’s image begins to flicker indicating her power is at it’s limits in this communication session with Max and Liz. “I must go now and rest, remember all that I have told you,” states Arianna.

Max asks, “ How can we contact you again, Mother?”

Arianna replies, “You will know.” Arianna’s image fades slowly diminishing in it’s light, becomes translucent, and is gone.

Max and Liz reflect on all that they have just learned from his mother. They hold each other while they absorb the enormous teachings from Arianna. “It’s time for us to go, we need to talk to Isabel and the others,” says Max.
