Blind Date 3

~Chapter 1: Shopping with the girls


Blind Date 3: Enlightenment

“God, I think we bought out the mall” Maria whined to the others.

Laughing Liz took some of Maria’s bags from her as they made their way to the car.

“Maria, I told you to go easy since this was your first day shopping with us,” Isabel jokingly said.

“Who knew Czechoslovakians were such hardcore shoppers” she replied tiredly. The three girls stood beside the blue SUV waiting patiently for the driver to show herself.

“Anybody knows what happened to Tess” Liz asked.

“Last time I saw her she was picking something up for Kyle at the Sports Store so who knows what happened to her” Isabel told her.

“Is it just me or is Tess always picking Kyle something up” Maria wondered. “I mean its Kyle did this and Kyle says that. You would think those two would just admit that they like each other and get it over with.” Maria ignored the protests of the others as she got more into her theory of Kyle and Tess. “I mean it’s perfect. He knows all about her being an Czechoslovakian and he’s cool with that. Also Kyle is a great guy even though I wouldn’t want to go with him, but there’s no accounting for taste. He’s loyal, kind of cute, has a sense of humor and he’ll always be there for her. They would make a perfect couple.”

Liz and Isabel traded uneasy glances and by mutual agreement they believed that the subject should be changed quickly.

“Maria have you seen Michael’s new haircut” Isabel asked innocently.

“I mean we have to get…” Maria trailed off.

“He did what” she yelled. “Wait until I see him he’s going to be a dead Space boy. I told him time and time again to take me with him when he gets a haircut so I can make sure it looks right. Knowing him he probably grunted at the barber when asked how he wanted it. Where’s Tess so we can go? She’s taking to long. I’ll be right back. I have to get home to kill a certain Space boy.”

The two girls watched as she dropped her bags and went back into the mall to go get Tess. They looked at each other and started laughing. “Did Michael really get his hair cut” Liz asked. Isabel looked innocently at her and said “nope, but I’m sure Maria is going to give him hell anyway.”

“Poor Michael, he has no clue what’s about to happen to him when Maria finds him.”

“I wonder how long it will take Maria to find Tess. I mean Tess could have wandered anywhere” Isabel said.

Before Liz could answer they saw Maria dragging Tess behind her to the car. As they got to the car Tess pulled away from Maria and marched over to the other two. “Does either one of you know why this mad woman got on the intercom and yell that I need to get my ass to customer service. Then when I do get to customer service she drags me out of the mall rambling on about haircuts and space idiots.”

Liz and Isabel just started giggling while Tess looked at them suspiciously. “What’s going on here and what have the two of you done” she asks.

“Honestly we were saving you from Maria. That’s all you need to know” Liz told her.

“Uh huh…why do I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen to me” Tess said.

“Okay people we need to leave now so I can go kill Michael. Chop, chop let’s get to it.” Maria clapped her hands and made shooing motions to the three of them. Sighing Tess got her car keys out and turned off the alarm and released the locks. She walked to the trunk to put her packages in and frowned at what little she had. I didn’t even get those pink suede boots I saw on sale. Maybe I’ll seek back to the mall later on without telling the others. Happy with her decision she helped the others get their stuff in while Maria stood next to them with her toe tapping impatiently. Finally having gotten all their stuff in the cars climbed into the car and pulled off out of the parking lot. Tired of Maria’s constant ranting about Michael and his hair Tess turned the radio on and quickly found a station.

“Good afternoon fellow Roswellians. This is your favorite DJ Johnny Robbins on your favorite station KROZ.”


“More like our only radio station” Tess muttered.

“I don’t believe this guy still has his job after the stunt he did last year on my blind date” Isabel ranted. “I mean this guy was relentless in following us around even worst than Valenti when he used to follow Max around town.”

“I know. I mean when I went on my blind date the guy actually followed us up to my bedroom. Although all he found was Kyle and my date wrestling on the bed” Liz tried to say with a straight face.

“I don’t know why you two are complaining. I mean Max kidnapped Liz and proclaimed his love in front of the whole town. Also let’s not forget Alex and his incredible declaration of his love” Maria reminded them. “Why can’t space boy do anything like that?”

Seeing that Maria was getting all worked up again Tess leaned over and turned the station up louder.

“Well we have good news for all those single gals out there. This year for Sweetest Day we’re going to hold another Blind Date, but this time we’re picking one of Roswell’s bachelors to be the contestant. So all you guys out there send in your picture and the reason why you should be pick. You can register at http://www.KROZufo.com or you can mail it in or drop it off at the station. So ladies get ready to go out a spectacular date with one of Roswell hottest bachelors. Now this song is dedicated to Mary from Jason B. who says he misses you. Good luck guys and don’t forget to register to win.”


The girls sat in shock at the strains of “Your Body is a Wonderland” by John Mayer started playing.

“All I know is that Alex had better not be entered into this contest or all hell will break loose” Isabel said coldly.

Liz nodded her head and said “same thing goes for Max.”

They all turned to look at Maria and she said “what? I’m not entering either of them. Hell I would enter Space boy, but I wouldn’t want to traumatize anybody else. Besides I mean the only single guy in our group is Kyle and we all know he belongs to Tess.”

“What? I don’t own Kyle. I mean we’re not dating or anything. He likes my brother and I wouldn’t mind if he entered into the contest.” The other three looked at her in disbelief and say together “uh huh.” Rolling her eyes at them Tess turned up the radio as her favorite song “What I like about you” by Lillix came on.

Hmm I maybe I should enter Kyle into the contest. What’s the worst that could happen?

Chapter 2: And the winner is…


~ one week later

“Good morning fellow Roswellians. This is your favorite DJ Johnny Robbins on your favorite radio station KROZ. Today is the big day, that’s right today I will be announcing which lucky fellow won our blind date contest. Stay tuned for more updates and here’s “Are you happy now” by Michelle Branch.”

“Now don’t just walk away
Pretending everything is okay
And you don’t care about me
And I know it’s just no use
When all your lies become truths
And I don’t care, yeah, yeah, yeah…”


Singing along with the radio, Tess continued making up her bed and getting ready for school. “Okay I got my backpack, homework, phone, writing instruments, and now all I need is Buddha Boy and I can go.” She turned off her radio and flipped her lights off and opened her door and nearly ran into Sheriff Valenti. Catching her before she could fall into him, she stepped back and looked up at him.

“Oops, sorry I didn’t see you there. What can I do for you,” she asked him. Before he replied, she continued talking “did you get the dinner I wrapped up for you? Also shouldn’t you be sleeping and enjoying your day off? Is everything okay…?”

Holding up his hand to stop anymore questions he replied, “Yes I got dinner and thank you. Also yes this is my day off and I would be sleeping except when I went to go to bed I found one Michael Guerin snoring in it.”

Aw man, I am so busted. I’m going to kill Michael for this. I told him to be up early before Jim came home, but does Michael ever listen. No he just does what he wants to do.

“Well you see Michael’s apartment is uh… being fumigated for roaches and I told him that he could stay here until then. I thought he would be gone before you got home, so I told him it would be okay to bunk in your room.”

“Let me see if I got this straight. Michael’s apartment is being fumigated for roaches and instead of staying with Max like he always does he decides to stay with us,” he asked her in disbelief.

“Um well…you’re not buying a word of this are you,” she asks him.

“Not one word, so you might as well tell what’s going on. Michael didn’t forget to pay his rent again did he?”

“No, Michael has been staying with everyone on alternative nights in hopes that Maria doesn’t find him. You see Michael got…”

Waving his hand he told her, “stop right there. I don’t need to know anymore, matter of fact this conversation never took place that way when Amy asks me about Michael’s whereabouts I can honestly say I don’t know anything. Those Deluca women can be scary when they’re mad and I don’t want to be in Maria’s path when she finds him. Have a great day at school and don’t forget Kyle and Michael.” Patting her on the shoulders he turned and strode off down the hallway.

“Well at least I didn’t get grounded.” She stepped into the hall and closed her bedroom door behind her. Walking into the living room she found Kyle and Michael watching ‘Yogi the bear.’ “Hey Yogi and Boo Boo if the two of you want a ride then you better come on because I’m leaving right now.” With that she walked past the two startled boys and went out the front door.

“You do know that you’re Boo Boo right? I’m too tall and cool to be Boo Boo, so that’s you,” Michael told Kyle.

“That’s okay Boo Boo was the smartest of the two,” Kyle smirked at him.

The two grabbed their bags and headed out the door still arguing about who was the smartest bear.

~beep beep


“Come on guys before we miss homeroom,” Tess yelled out the window of her car.

“We better hurry before she leaves us because my car is in the shop and no way is Dad going to let us use the cruiser,” Kyle told him.

“I can’t believe you’re scared of a girl,” Michael laughed.

“Sure Guerin, at least I’m not the one who’s been hiding out at other people houses for a week.”

“Hey you would hide too if Maria was looking to hurt you,” Michael told him with a shrug.

The two finally reached the SUV and hopped in just seconds before Tess pulled off. Kyle leaned over and turned the radio station and the radio belted out “how do you like me now.” Scowling at Kyle, Tess reached over and turned the station.

“Kyle, I’m not listening to any Garth Brooks today and you chose the radio station yesterday.”

“Garth Brooks? That wasn’t Garth Brooks that was Toby Keith and I can’t believe you can’t tell the two apart,” he told her with a pout.

“I don’t care what his name was because I’m not listening to it, so get over it and stop pouting.”

From the back seat Michael spoke up, “I say we listen to 109.5 and listen to the soothing sound of Metallica”

“Michael, you would think Metallica is soothing, and I’m not changing the station so deal with it,” she told them. Reaching over she turned the radio until she found a station and turned it up.

“Hey this is DJ Johnny Robbins on your favorite station KROZ, and today we will reveal who won our blind date contest in a few hours so stay tuned. This next song is dedicated to Mary from Jason B. This is ‘I knew I loved you’ by Savage Garden and remember stay tuned for more updates.”


“Oh I love this song and that is so romantic how this guy keeps dedicating songs to his girlfriend,” Tess gushed.

“More like desperate. I mean what guy keeps calling the radio station dedicating songs everyday. That’s just wrong in so many ways and don’t get me started about this blind date contest. I mean only some loser desperate to get a date would enter this contest,” Kyle muttered.

Nodding his head in agreement, Michael said, “Yeah, you never know what kind of girl the station could hook you up with either.”

Tess pulled into the school’s parking lot and quickly parked. “Alright Yogi and Boo Boo get out and stop being mean. I mean there’s nothing wrong the blind date contest and you don’t have to be a loser to enter it either.”

Quickly getting out before Tess could lecture them some more they were met by the rest of the gang and one angry Maria Deluca.

“Well I finally caught up with you at last. You know if I didn’t know any better I would say that you were avoiding me. Now that wouldn’t be true would it Spaceboy,” Maria asked.

Freezing like a deer caught in headlights, Michael looked to the others for help.

“Um you know we’re going to be late for English class so we’ll see you all later in the quad for lunch. Come on Buddha Boy let’s go before we’re late,” Tess said.

The others made their excuses as well and ran off with their significant other to class leaving Michael to face Hurricane Deluca alone. “Maria we should head off to class now before we’re late and we don’t want to be late,” Michael told her as he tried to get past her.

“Nice try Spaceboy, but its not going to work. This afternoon you have an appointment with my stylist Armand Pepe and he’s going to do wonders for you.” Seeing that Michael was about to argue, she grabbed his arm and dragged him off to class. “You’re going and that’s that Spaceboy.”

~12pm in the Quad/Cafeteria

Tess looked around and finally found everyone sitting at their usual table next to the tree. Walking over to the table, she elbowed her way to sit between Kyle and Alex.

“Hey everyone, what’s going on,” she asked as she watched Kyle shove food in his mouth. “What are you eating Buddha Boy?”

“Well I’m trying to convince Isabel to let me turn on the radio to see who won the blind date contest,” Maria told her.

“Maria, why would you be interested in hearing who won unless you entered someone in it again,” Isabel asked her.

Before Maria could speak a loud voice interrupted them. “Good afternoon fellow Roswellians. This is Johnny Robbins at West Roswell High where have found our King of Heart, senior Lyle Valenti.”

“Oh god, Maria please tell me you didn’t enter Lyle…I mean Kyle in the contest,” Liz asked her as she looked at the DJ and his crew surrounding them.

One of the ladies in the radio entourage leaned over and put a big red crown on Kyle’s head while another handed him roses.


“So Lyle what do you have to say to all our listeners out there,” the DJ asked.

Kyle blinked as someone took his photograph and said the first thing that came to mind, “who the hell nominated me?”

Chapter 3: Oh My Buddha


“So Lyle what do you have to say to all our listeners out there,” the DJ asked him.

Kyle just blinked against the sudden flash that signaled that someone had taken his picture. He opened his mouth and said the first thing that came to mind, “who the hell nominated me.”

The DJ just chuckled and patted him on the shoulder. “Well it looks like Lyle here is in a bit of a shock. Hopefully tomorrow when we do our interview he’ll be somewhat coherent. Anyway don’t forget to join us tomorrow afternoon at the Crashdown where Lyle will tell us about his dream girl. This is Johnny Robbins at West Roswell High where we have found our King of Hearts, Lyle Valenti.”

Seeing his producer signal that they were off the air, he handed his microphone to his assistants and turned back to Kyle. “Now remember to be at the Crashdown a little bit before 4pm so we can make sure everything is working okay. Congratulations again Lyle, and see you tomorrow.” With that he left with his entourage leaving the gang to sit quietly trying to figure out what the heck had just happened.

Kyle coming out of his daze muttered, “The name is Kyle not Lyle.”

“Gee Valenti maybe next month you can enter the Roswell High beauty pageant. I mean you already got the crown and the roses so you should be a shoo-in,” Michael smirked.

“Shut up Guerin,” Kyle said with a glare. Before Michael could respond a voice interrupted him.

“Hey Kyle, could you smile so I can take this picture for the school paper,” a dark haired young man asked. Not even waiting an answer the young man raised his camera and took a quick shot of Kyle. “Okay now let’s get one of you holding the roses a little closer to your chest,” the young man said raising his camera for another picture.

Kyle looked at the flowers in arms and dropped them so fast as if they were burning him. “You’re going have to give me that camera because there’s no way in hell that the entire student body is going to see those pictures,” Kyle yelled. Standing up he started for the young man only to see him quickly run off with a quick wave and a shout of “thanks for the headline Valenti.”

“Damn it Ed, come back here with those pictures,” Kyle yelled at the young man ignoring the stares by the other students.

“You know Kyle, I don’t think it really matters that Ed took those pictures because the whole student body is looking at you and the fact that you’re still wearing that eyesore of a crown pretty much says it all. Hmm I wonder if Ed would mind making me copies,” Alex said with a twinkle in his eyes.

Ignoring Kyle’s glare Alex continued, “I mean this special moment should be capture so we can all share in Kyle’s big day. Does anyone know how much it costs to get a mug made with Kyle’s picture on it?”

Max trying not to laugh asked Alex, “Can I get one of those when you make them.”

“Sure man, it’s not a problem. Does anyone else want one? You know why stop at mugs, we can make calendars and t-shirts too,” Alex said excitedly.

The guys just laughed while the girls tried not to laugh at the look on Kyle’s face as Alex rambled on about Christmas presents. Finally tired of hearing Alex’s plans for the pictures Kyle sat down heavily and laid his head on the table which caused the others to laugh again as Kyle’s crown tilted on his head drunkenly. Groaning he sat up and tossed the offended crown on the table. “Alright you all had your fun, but it stops now. This isn’t funny anymore and I can’t believe that is happening to me.”
“Aw come on Valenti you have to admit it’s funny as hell. I mean if you were this desperate for dates we would have chipped in and placed an ad in the singles section of the paper,” Michael smirked.

“Ha ha, you laugh it up, but this could have been you if your nutcase of a girlfriend had nominated you instead of me,” Kyle reminded him.

Michael became quite as he realized that Kyle did have a point. Maria who had been looking through her purse for her cedar oil stopped when she heard her name. “Excuse me, did you just call me a nutcase. I think you wearing your jockstrap to tight if you think you can get away with calling me a nutcase. I mean I don’t know why you’re ranting about this blind date. You get to go on a date where you don’t have pay for anything, and for your information I did not nominate anyone for the contest.”

“It had to be you Maria. Who else would have entered me in this contest? Plus this is your M.O, your style and you’ve done it twice already with Liz and Isabel, so forgive me if I don’t happen to believe you.”

“It wasn’t Maria. I entered you into the contest,” a voice said quietly next to him.

Kyle looked at Tess in disbelief. “You entered me in this contest? What was this some kind of joke?”

“I mean you’re always praying to Buddha about your lack of dates so I figured that this would be a good way for you to get out,” she told him.

His eyes darken with hurt as he told her, “I wasn’t serious. I was just kidding around like I always do. I can’t believe you of all people would humiliate me like this. I mean I expect this from Maria, but I thought you knew me better than that. I guess I was wrong about that.” He stood up and grabbed his book bag and stormed away from the table ignoring the calls from the others to come back.

Tess watched him strode across the quad as people called out to him. She turned back to the others and said, “I didn’t think he would actually win. I mean this is Buddha Boy we’re talking about.”

Liz, Isabel, and Maria glanced at each other at her statement. “Actually Kyle is one of the most eligible bachelors in our school, and he’s not bad looking on the eyes,” Isabel told her. Seeing Alex raise his eyebrow at her she quickly added, “of course he’s no Alexander Charles Whitman, but the guy is a good catch.”

Alex grinned at her and kissed her on the forehead as the other two girls tried to explain to Tess about why entering Kyle in the blind date was a big mistake.

“Well I doubt the response will be as bad as Isabel’s last year,” Tess said reassuringly.

Alex shook his head at her and told her, “guys were still calling Liz two days later after her blind date. There are some desperate people out there, and don’t even get me started about the guys calling Iz.”

“Okay wait, what guys were calling Liz,” Max asked with a glare while holding Liz to him possessively.

The others just laughed at him while Liz shook her head at him as he demanded to know who was calling her. Tess grabbing her bag stood up and told them, “I’m sure it won’t be as bad as that, but I better go looking for Kyle to apologize. See you all later at the Crashdown.”

Everyone told her bye and nodded in agreement that they would meet later at the Crashdown. Walking back towards the school she saw a large group of girls in a big circle. Curious to see what was going on she moved over to where she could get a better view, and as she saw the one thing she never expected…there stood Kyle with girls rubbing all over him asking him about being the King of Hearts. At that moment she felt something squeeze her heart and she realized what a big mistake she had made. Turning back around, she pushed her way out of the circle and ran out of school until she reached her car. Getting in she started the car up and the radio automatically came on. “Hey this next song is dedicated to Mary from Jason B. Here’s “White Flag” by Dido. Tess sat listening to the song and she thought to herself, ‘what have I done.’

~later that day

Chapter Four

The three guys stood staring at the door and wondered for the millionth time how they got roped into coming to check up on Kyle. “Is he even home,” Michael muttered as he watched Alex pressed the doorbell again.

“Well I thought I saw some movement in the window when I rang the doorbell the first time, but I could be wrong,” Alex told him.

“Maybe he’s at basketball practice or something,” Max shrugged. “At least we can tell the girls that we came by to check on him like we promised to.”

“I’m still not sure why we’re checking on him to begin with. I mean how hurt can his feelings be because Tess entered him into the contest,” Michael sighed.

Alex who was getting ready to rang the doorbell again stopped midway upon hearing Michael’s sigh and turned to look at him. Putting his hand on his heart he squinted at Michael, “whoa did you say the word ‘feelings’ or am I having sunstroke? I never thought I would see the day when you would talk about feelings. Why Michael I do believe you’re evolving into a caring individual.”

“Oh shut up and just rang the damn bell again,” he rolled his eyes at him.

Max and Alex looked at each other and started laughing. A second later the door opened to reveal Kyle. “Should I even ask why the three of you are standing out here giggling like a bunch of girl scouts?”

“Hey!”

Ignoring their protests Kyle looked back and forth and quickly opened the door wider. “Hurry up and get in here before someone sees me,” he told them. Raising their eyebrows at him the three walked through the door and entered the living room. Kyle quickly closed the door and locked it back. Turning around he saw that his friends were staring at him with amusement.

“Well gee Kyle are you hiding out from someone,” Alex asked.

“Maybe Kyle has a stalker or something,” Michael snickered.

Max opened his mouth to say something and stopped at Kyle’s glare. “You guys laugh all you want, but you don’t know the horror I’ve been through today. First I find out I win this stupid contest then I get mobbed by a gang of girls in the hallway who are all groping on me.” He stopped talking and shook his head as he remembered it.

“Um I’m still waiting to hear about the horror part because so far it sounds okay to me,” Michael sat down on the couch and propped his feet on coffee table. “I mean you were surrounded by a bunch of girls who wanted to go out with you so I don’t see the problem.”

“That wasn’t the problem and that’s just the beginning of the day. Anyway after school ended I go to the parking lot expecting to ride home with Tess only to find out she left school earlier. Time I figured that out all of you had left already and I end up having to ride home with Pam Troy.”

“You rode home with Pam Troy?! Doesn’t she drive a pink Jetta and it has a bumper sticker that says ‘honk if you love pink,” Max asked while trying not to laugh.

“Oh yeah and it’s pink inside too. It looks like a box of cotton candy exploded in there, but that’s not the worst part of the ride. The whole way home the girl is simpering on about her new manicure and doesn’t it look cute. If I ever see pink polish again it will be too soon and the whole way here she was playing that Backstreet Boys song so now I got that damn song stuck in my head. Finally we pulled up to the house and I got the hell out of there before she could say anything.”

By this time Max, Alex, and Michael are sitting on the couch laughing at Kyle’s woe is me expression.

“Okay still that doesn’t sound too bad. So what you had to ride in a pink car and listen to the Backstreet Boy that doesn’t sound too bad. It’s not as if you were wearing your crown the whole time,” he looked at Kyle’s facing turning red and knew it was true. “Please tell me someone took pictures of that. I really want a copy of those,” Alex snickered.

“I had no choice since she wouldn’t let me catch a ride until I put that damn tinfoil on my head,” Kyle sneered.

“You do know that is perfect blackmail material right,” Max asked with a grin.

“Maxwell I do believe you have an excellent point,” Michael rubbed his hands in glee.

“So Michael how was the salon by the way? I see you got your hair all nice and shiny,” Kyle crossed his arms and stared at Michael’s hair.

Throwing a pillow at Kyle, Michael glowered at him. “I don’t know who told Maria that I got a haircut, but when I find out there’s going to be payback. I sat in that place for two hours while Maria stood over me like some kind of prison guard afraid I was going to run for it. Now enough talk about my hair. I know what you’re trying to do by changing the subject, but it’s not going to work.”

Kyle picked the pillow up and stuffed it behind his back and tried to get comfortable in his chair. “As soon as I walked into the door dad tells me there’s a whole bunch of messages on the machine. I go to check the machine when the door bell rang and there’s this chick standing out there with an apple pie. She leaves and then the bell rang again and there’s another girl out there. Instead of an apple pie she has a plate of chocolate chip cookies. Same thing happens when she leaves and for the past two hours there has been someone at the door with a plate of goodies. One girl nearly blinded me with her camera’s flash. That’s why I’m no longer answering the door. Oh yeah Alex some girl name Lisa stopped by wanting to know if I thought you were single. I wouldn’t mention that to Isabel if I were you.”

Michael and Max glowered at Alex who stuttered, “I don’t know any Lisa except the one in my literature class, and the two of you need to stop looking at me like that. Speaking of girls where’s Tess at by the way?”

“I don’t know although I really would like to talk to her when she gets here. I mean I always thought that the two of us had something between us and that we would take that final step soon, but maybe she doesn’t feel the same about me,” Kyle looked at the ceiling and sighed.

“Why don’t you just ask her how she feels when she gets back? You never know maybe she does feel something for you and just doesn’t know what to say,” Max told him.

“Yeah you could be right, so you guys want to help me with some of these goodies I got?”

The four guys got up eagerly and they headed towards the kitchen while arguing over who would get the chocolate chip cookies.

*********Meanwhile*******

Tess walked out of the mall with a couple bags and headed towards her SUV. Turning off the alarm she threw the bags into the passenger seat and got in. She buckled up and started the car and pulled out the parking lot. Coming to a stop at a red light she leaned over and turned on the radio.

'I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I want to chase
You're the one I want to hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul'



Singing along with the radio she thought back to what had happened at school. I still can’t believe that Kyle won the contest and it’s my entire fault. I’ve never should have entered him in the contest to begin with. I was so busy fighting my feelings for him and in denial. Well denial hasn’t gotten me anywhere and now he’s going to go out on some date with some girl the radio station is going to find him. She’ll probably be a tall, thin brunette and some kind of model.

Seeing that that light had turned green she took her foot off the brake and headed towards her home.

“Well that was Beautiful Soul by Jesse McCartney. That song was dedicated to Mary from Jason B. Mary whoever you are you need to really go and call this guy before some grabs him up. So tomorrow is the big day as we’re going to be hosting the interview with Roswell’s own King of Hearts Kyle Valenti. Have you ladies seen this guy? All I can say is heart be still and I’ll definitely be there at the Crashdown tomorrow. This is DJ Mel playing the hits so call our request line to hear your favorite song.”

Tess growled at the DJ and pulled into the driveway. Putting the car in park she turned it off and gathered her bags. Getting out of the SUV she started towards the house. “Okay I’m going to go in there and just say Kyle I’m sorry about what happened and I love you. There I said it and now I just got to say it to Kyle.” She took a deep breath and opened the door. Closing the door behind her she called out, “Kyle I’m home where are you?”

“I’m in the kitchen with the guys. I’ll be there in a second and hey I need to talk to you,” he shouted from the kitchen.

She laughed and shook her head, “only Buddha Boy would yell instead of coming to say hello. Then again that could be all men, but I don’t know. I guess I better check the machine and see if any of the girls have called me.” Walking over to the machine with her bags in hand she turned it on and it beep.

‘Hey this is Jim, Kyle, and Tess. We’re not in right now because we’re out chasing aliens, but please leave a message and we’ll try to make it home to get back to you.’


“We so need to get a new message on our machine,” she snorted as she waited for the first message to play. A second later a sultry voice, ‘Hi this message is for Kyle. This is Candy and I hope you call me.’

Tess growled and hit the erase button, “well candy cane is going to have to find herself another man.”

‘Hey Kyle I heard about you winning the blind date contest. I hope we can have a blind date of our own. This is May so call me back okay.’

‘Kyle you sexy thing you need to call me. Let’s go out again and yup it’s me Gwen.’

‘Kyle!! Aack!!! Oh My God, I’m talking to your machine!!! Aack!!’

‘This is Michelle calling for Kyle. I made you some brownies so call me if you want to share some.’

‘Kyle I’m sitting in my tub thinking of you and I want you to call me at…’


Tess kept her finger on the erase button and hearing the last message had her seeing red. Suddenly the machine made a weird noise and she looked down to see that the machine had caught on fire. Waving her hand over the machine she put the fire out. “Nacedo always used to say that our emotions had an effect on our powers. I guess he wasn’t kidding,” she said dryly while looking at the machine.

“Hey Tess where have you been and why did you leave me at school,” Kyle asked having walked into the living room. Startled to find Kyle in the living room she turned to glare at him. “I’m sorry I’m about that and I"m sorry about the whole blind date thing as well." Seeing him munching on a chocolate chip cookie she asked, "Did Amy stop by with cookies? Because those smell like homemade cookies?"

"Naw she didn't stop by. One of the girls that stopped by made them. What was her name? Hmm I think it was Candy or Monica, not sure which one. If you want one there's more in the kitchen."

Narrrowing her eyes at him she reached over and snatched the cookie out of his hand ignoring his surprised. She threw the cookie on the floor and hit him on the head with her bags. "I can't believe I even apologize to you. I come to say sorry and here you are munching on some other girl's cookie. Oh you make me sick!" With one final glare she turned and stomped off to her room and slammed the door. A second later music could be heard blasting out from her room. 'You make me sick. It's you I want and I'm hating it. Got me lit like a candle stick.'

Kyle stood with his mouth opened at what had just happened. Throwing his hands in the air he muttered, "women. I just don't get them."

Coupling: K/T, CC

Rating: TEEN

Summary: based on a challenge by Jadeling...what happens when it's the guys turn to be in a blind date?

AN: Thanks for the feedback! I will be updating this every Wednesday from now on. Also we don't have to many chapters left until the end. Woohoo! The songs used in this chapter are "I'm Like A Bird" by Nelly Furtado" and "Fallin" by Mya.

Chapter 5


~Crashdown the next day

Liz looked up as the bell over the door rang again signaling another customer. Looking around at the full resturant she wondered where this person was planning to seat. She already had to put a few customers together and a lot of them weren't too please about that, but like everyone else there they didn't want to miss out on the radio interview. Walking towards the door she saw that it was the radio jockey and his entourage. "Hi. My dad has a table all set up for you guys to use for the interview. Also he said that drinks are on the house, so if you want anything drink just let me know," she told him as she showed him to the one empty table that they had left. "Thanks Liz we got it from here. We're going to set up and hopefully Lyle will be here soon," he smiled at her.

"Um I think Lyle's name is Kyle," one of the assistants spoke up.

"Nonsense the guy name is Lyle. Why I remember him when we did Liz's date. Isn't that right Liz," the disc jockey asked her.

She opened her mouth to correct him, but closed it and just smiled at him. "Okay I'm going to go wait on the customers and just give me a holler if you need me."

Before he could answer she quickly took off towards the back room and almost bumped into Maria who was coming out. "Oops I didn't see you. You're not hiding back here are you," Liz teased her.

"Please I wish, but your dad will just will find me and drag me back. Anyway I just came to get my cedar oil since I already used the other one in just an hour," she sighed.

"I know what you mean. It's like the whole town has come out to stare at Kyle and this isn't even the date. You know I wonder how Tess is holding up," Liz flopped on the sofa and groaned.

"Well Iz said she talked to her last night but the girl was ranting away about some cookie or something. I'm not sure what's going on, but we so need to hook Tess and Kyle up before they drive us nuts," Maria peeked out the swinging door and groaned when she saw more people coming in the resturant. "Man these people better be some great tippers or I will not be happy."

Liz laughed and quickly got up when she heard someone coming down the side steps. Expecting it to be her dad she was surprised to see Kyle coming down the stairs and even more surprised to see Max, Michael, and Alex right behind him. "Um hey guys. What were you doing up in the apartment? Please don't tell me you guys were in my room again. Am I going have to check and make sure my underwear is safe?"

Michael and Alex laughed as Max and Kyle looked at the floor in embarassment. "That only happened one time, and that was Kyle's idea," Max mumbled.

"Hey I plead the fifth and I was drunk that night," Kyle protested. "Come to think about weren't you the one spray painting hearts and stuff on her wall," he elbowed Max.

Liz walked over to Max and kissed him on the cheek. "See that was cute though not creepy," she told Kyle.

"I just don't get that meaningless crap," he shrugged.

She shook her head at him and laughed. "So are you all ready for your big interview?"

"As ready as I will be. It's been a long two days and it didn't help when I had to hide in the guys bathroom most of the day to escape some of those girls," he shook his head.

The guys patted him on the shoulders and tried not to laugh, but a snicker here and there escape. Maria walked up to Kyle and said, "well I hope you got some mace or something because the resturant is full of women of all ages and shapes. Oh yeah Pam Troy said to tell you hello and something about her nails. I never understand what that girl is talking about. I think she's inhailing the nail polish fumes too much."

Upon hearing Pam Troy's name the guys burst out laughing and Liz looked at them wondering what was going on. "So Kyle have you seen Tess lately? I called your house and no one answered. I waited for the machine to come on, but I guess it's not working."

"Um our machine isn't working. Tess said she accidentally set it on fire or something. As for where she is I don't know and the last time I saw her was at school earlier. She's not talking to me for some reason so I had to catch a ride with Alex and Isabel to school and back."

"Tess isn't talking to you," Liz asked.

"Wait she burned your machine down?! Kyle what did you do to her now," Maria demanded.

"I didn't do anything to her. I was just standing there minding my own business eating a cookie when she wacked me aside the head and threw my cookie on the floor. That was the last cookie too and did she say she was sorry? No she didn't. If anyone is the victim here that would have to be me," he crossed his arms across his chest with a huff.

The two girls glared at him silently while he tried not to make any sudden moves. Maria opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by the door swinging open. One of the radio assistants stuck his head in and told Kyle, "hey we're already for you so you can come out now."

"Okay I'm coming," Kyle nodded at the assistant and quickly stepped around the girls making his escape. Everyone turned and watch Kyle leave.

"Well it looks like Kyle was saved with only a minute left," Alex joked.

The girls turned back to look at the guys who froze like a deer in headlights. "So what's this about Kyle and Tess and a cookie," Maria asked.

"Um maybe you should call Tess and ask her. I mean it's really none of our business," Michael started to say.

"Zip it Spaceboy. We want information and we want it now," Maria tapped her writing pad against her leg.

"I'm going have to agree with Michael on this one. I mean maybe we should let the two of them sort it out between them," Max injected.

"Max we want to know what happened and we're not leaving this room until we do," Liz crossed her arms and stared at him.

Alex started laughing at Max and Michael's expression until Maria pulled out her cell phone and said, "don't make me have to call Isabel."

"Ladies I'm sure we can talk about this without having to involve Isabel," Alex said quickly and walked up to them and threw his arms around them. "See what happened was..."

*****meanwhile...

Jim looked at the answering machine and gingerly poked it with a pencil. "I wonder if the warranty covers being set on fire by alien powers," he mused. Dropping the pencil on the table next to it he squared his shoulders and started walking down the hallway. Stopping at Tess's room he lightly knocked and waited and waited. "Hmm maybe she can't hear me over all that music," he knocked on the door again a little harder. Still not getting an answer he put his ear to the door and heard a female singing,

"It's not that I wanna say goodbye
It's just that everytime you try
To tell me that you love me
Each and every single day
I know I'm going have to eventually give you away
And though my love is rare
And though my love is true
Hey I'm just scared
That we may fall through..."


Going back to his room he got his cell phone off the dresser and walked back to Tess's room. Dialing a number he waited patiently and when the person answered he said, "I'm standing outside your door and I was hoping you would open it." Hearing an affirmative he hung up and looked to see the door opening. "Ah there you are. I was wondering if you were sleeping or maybe going deaf," he smiled.

Opening the door further and stepping back so he could entered she told him, "no I was just lying on my bed and listening to some music. I was trying to get my thoughts together. I didn't mean to disturb you."

He turned to look at her and was surprised by the shadows under her eyes. "No the music is fine. I was just worried about you is all. Are you doing okay?"

"I'm fine. I'm just tired with school work and stuff," she sniffed and wiped her sleeve across her face.

"Well if you want to talk I'm here," he smiled gently at her.

"I know and thank you."

"Hey you know what we should do. Let's go to the Crashdown and get some dinner. I'm not up for cooking and I don't think you want to either."

"Sure that would be great. Just let me wash my face and get my coat."

Seeing her smile he smiled back at her and walked out the room. "I'm going to go ahead and warm the cruiser up. Maybe we can swing by Amy's and beg her to share some pie with us."

Tess laughed and hurried to the bathroom to fix her face. Waving her hand over face she fixed her makeup and removed any signs of crying. 'I wonder where Kyle has been all day. Oh well maybe it's better this way,' she thought to herself with a shrug. Stopping by her room she grabbed her coat and hurried out the front door after making sure it was locked. Getting into the cruiser she and the sheriff chatted about school and work.

"Do you mind if I turn the radio on," she asked.

"Sure help yourself. As long as it's not that head banging stuff then we're fine," he grinned at her.

"Gotcha. No head banging music," she laughed and turned on the radio.

'Alright this next song is dedicated to Jason from Mary. It looks like Mary finally has an answer to all those songs. Here's "Fallin" by Mya and Mary and Jason would you guys please call each other,' the dj laughed.


"Well it's about time Mary dedicates a song to the guy," Tess smiled.

"Oh do you know her," Jim asked.

"Nope but it feels like it. This guy name Jason has been dedicating songs to her on the radio for about two weeks now and this is the first time she's ever replied back," she told him.

Jim pulled the cruiser into a parking lot and turned it off. Looking at all the cars he raised his eyebrow, "wow it looks like the Crashdown is busy tonight. I hope we can find a seat somewhere."

"I'm sure Maria or Liz will find us a booth," she got out of the car and walked with him towards the front door. "I wonder what's going on though."

Jim opened the door and motioned for Tess to go in front of him. Smiling she stepped in and stopped at the sight before her. There in the middle of the Crashdown was Kyle sitting at a table with the disc jockey.

"So Kyle who's your dream girl," he asked Kyle.

Title: Blind Date 3: Enlightenment

Author: Vegas312

Disclaimer: I do not own Roswell so please don't sue.

Coupling: K/T, CC

Rating: TEEN for language

Summary: Based on a challenge by Jadeling..what if it was the guys' turn to be on a blind date?

AN: Thanks for the feedback and we only have two chapters left so woohoo! I've already started working on the last chapter and the next chapter will be the date. Also some of the dialogue doesn't belong to me rather it's from the Blind Date eppy which I do not own. The song used below is "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys

Chapter 6: You're my dreamgirl


"And then she smacked him upside the head with her bags and stormed into her room," Alex stood up and stretch. "That's all I know so please don't call Isabel on us."

"Alright we won't get out the big guns this time, but next time just give up the dirt," Maria waved her order pad at him.

Liz snorted next to her and reached over and hit Max and Michael in the head. "Ow what was that for," Max winced.

"Hey only Maria is allowed to abused me. I really don't need two of you hitting me on the head. You could cause me brain damage," Michael rubbed his head.

"See that's what the two of you get for not cooperating with us. Now let that be a lesson. Alex here knew the drill so you should learn from him," she smiled at them. Max and Michael glared at Alex who weakly smiled at them.

"Liz! Maria! I need the two of you out here," Mr. Parker yelled.

Maria and Liz winced and hurried out of the back room and the guys shrugged and followed them at a slower pace. Coming out of the door Max stumbled to a halt as he ran into Liz's back which caused Alex and Michael to fall into him.

"Whoops. Are you okay? Why did you stop," he asked her.

"Um Maxwell you're holding up traffic here," Michael informed him.

"Michael that had better be your elbow in my back," Alex cringed and tried to move. "Really guys what's the hold up?"

Max looked to see what or who had caught Liz's attention and he saw Sheriff Valenti and Tess standing at the door. He groaned as he saw that Tess was staring at Kyle, who's interview with the disc jockey had just started. 'Ah hell we're in for it now. I just hope Kyle doesn't say anything that's going to hurt her feelings otherwise the girls will be out to hurt all of us.'

"Good afternoon to all my fellow Roswellians out there. This is DJ Johnny and I'm here at the Crashdown with our own King of Hearts Lyle Valenti."

Kyle pulled the microphone closer to him and said, "that's Kyle."

"I told him that," the assistant muttered and cough when DJ Johnny glared at him.

"Anyway ladies if you aren't down here then you're missing a real treat. Kyle here is a pretty

handsome guy. Isn't that right ladies," he asked the customers.

There were whistles and catcalls from the female customers and even a couple of guys screamed Kyle's name.

"Well it seems you're real popular with the ladies and a couple of guys too. So Kyle I was asking you earlier about your dreamgirl. Would she happen to be a blonde or brunette?"

"Brunettes are nice, but I'm going have to go with a blonde," Kyle winked.

"I got a feeling that there's going to be rush at Gray's Pharmacy later tonight for hair dye,"

Johnny chuckled. "Now are you more into hometown girls or out of towners?"

"Out of towners are great, but I'm looking for more of a hometown girl."

"Well I hear a sigh of relief from all of our hometown girls. Now are you looking for a challenge or something easy?"

"Oh I'm always up for a challenge. I want some who argues with me and doesn't just agree with everything that I say."

"Alright it seems like we're looking for one of our own feisty blondes for Kyle. I like say thanks to Kyle for doing this interview and the Crashdown for allowing us to use their awesome establishment. Be sure to tune in and come down when we introduce Kyle to his dreamgirl.

See you all later."

A minute later the producer signal that they were off the air and Johnny took his headphones off and shook Kyle's hand. Kyle set his headphones down and stood up only to have a bunch of the customers rush over asking him for an autograph. Laughing he waved his hands in the air and turned to escape and stopped when he saw Tess and his dad standing in front of him. He watched as she said something to his dad and took off through the door.

"Tess wait," he shouted and tried to make it to the door but was blocked as more customers came over to him.

While Maria and Liz were looking at Kyle, the three guy started walking back to the back room but stopped when Maria said, "freeze."

"Alright which one of you called Tess down here to see Kyle's interview," Liz asked.

Everyone looked at Michael who looked back at them with a scowl. "Why are you all looking at me? I didn't call Tess down here."

"When Isabel had her blind date last year I remember you bringing Alex down here for her interview," Liz crossed her arms and stared at him.

"That was an accident and besides Tess must have come in with the Sheriff."

"Uh huh," Maria and Liz said together.

"You know I don't think," Alex started to say but stopped when the girls turned to look at him.

Raising his hands in the air he said, "you know what I'm just going to stand here and be silent because I don't know anything, nada, zilch, nothing."

"Alex you're rambling," Max told him.

"Yeah I know. I can't help it. Hey I'm trying to be quiet and you're encouraging me to talk."

Mr. Parker walked over to the small group and nodded at the guys. "Girls, I really need my two favorite waitress to get back to work as Agnes has seemed to disappeared on me."

"But dad," Liz said.

"No buts. Now get to back to work or I'm going have to dock your pay," he patted her shoulder and walked back over to the register.

"Liz, your dad is a slave driver," Maria groaned.

"Yeah I know, but we need to make sure that Tess is okay."

"I'll call Isabel and maybe she can find her," Maria looked around for Mr. Parker and pulled Michael in front of her. Standing behind him she got out her cell phone and called Isabel, "Hey Iz. I can't talk long, but we need you to find Tess. She somehow ended at the Crashdown and heard all of Kyle's interview." She paused and everyone heard Isabel yell, "Did Michael bring her down there? If he did then I'm going to kill him."

Michael started to turn around to grab the phone, but Maria made him stand still. "No we don't think it was Michael, but she heard the interview anyway."

"Girls!"

"Okay Iz I got to go since Mr. P is screaming for us. Just find her and bring her back here and we can all have a girls night or something." She paused and listened and replied, "Actually Kyle's description of his dreamgirl sounded like Tess except for the whole hometown thing. Now I really got to get off this phone and Liz and I will see the two of you later."Hanging up the phone she turned to Liz, "I hope Iz can find her."

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

She had run out of the Crashdown with no idea as to where she was going. She just knew that she had to get away from it all. Maybe she should have stayed and talk to Kyle about what was going on with her since he didn't seem to have a clue, but she couldn't bear to feel anymore pain today. Not sure where she was going she looked up and was suprised to find herself at the park and she slowed down as she had been running the whole way.

Seeing a water fountain she moved over to it and got a sip of water. She raised a hand to to brush a strand of hair out of her way and felt a wetness on her face. God what was happening to her? She never cried so much in her whole life as she had done in the past two days. If this was love then she wasn't sure if she wanted it. Sniffing she looked around and saw the swings and headed over to them. She grabbed hold of a swing and sat down and gave herself a little push. Glancing around she saw to her right a couple dancing and she watched as the man swung the tall brunette to him while the music played in the background. Closing her eyes she swung and let the song flow over her.

"some people live for the fortune
some people live just for the fame
some people live for the power
some people live just to play the game
some people think that the phisycal thinks
divine words within

some people want it all
but i dont wont nothing at all
if it aint you baby
if i aint got you baby"

Blind Date 3: Enlightenment

Author: vegas312

Coupling: K/T + CC

Rating: Teen for language

Disclaimer: I do not own Roswell.

AN: Sorry for the delay of this part, but here it is so I hope you like it. This is dedicated to Mary for just being her. Also the song used below is "We Belong Together" by Mariah Carey which I do not own and copyright infringement is not intended. Also the next part will be the conclusion so woohoo. I’m going to try to get it posted up this weekend.

Chapter 7: Denial and a Plan


As the song washed over she lowered her head dejectedly and dragged her feet in the sand as she gave the swing a push. ‘I don’t know what to do anymore. I came here expecting to find my destiny, but it turns out that destiny wasn’t I thought it would be. If anyone would have told me when I first arrived here that I would be in love with a human especially Kyle Valenti I would have laughed in their face, but now look at me. I’ve denied my feelings for him so long that now when I was ready to tell him I find out that it’s too late. What am I going to do? I mean can I really just smile and ignore my feelings when he meets his date and falls in love with her.’

"Hi. Are you okay," a voice interrupted her. Startled at the intrusion Tess looked up only to find the woman that she had seen dancing earlier with the young man now standing in front of her. Kind brown eyes looked at her in concern and the woman motioned to the other swing questioningly. Tess wiped her face and nodded her head and watched as the other woman sat down on the swing.

"I saw you over sitting by yourself and I was wondering if you’re okay," she asked. Before Tess could say anything the woman spoke again, "oh I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Mary and that’s my fiancée over there."

"I’m Tess. Nice to meet you and I’m fine I think. I’m just having this incredibly bad day is all."

Mary raised her eyebrow, "Does this bad day involve a guy? I mean if a woman is crying then it’s 99.9% likely that there’s a guy involve in why she’s crying."

Tess gave a little laugh that turned into a sob, "Yeah it’s guy trouble, but it’s my own fault. I’m in love with this great guy, but I never told him and now it’s too late since he found someone else."

"Is he married or something?"

"No but he’s going on this blind date tomorrow night," she sniffed and ducked her head.

"A blind date? Well you still have time to tell him how you feel. I mean he hasn’t even met this person, and how do you know he doesn’t feel the same way for you. You ever think that maybe he feels the same and just like you he’s too scare to say anything?"

"I don’t know. I mean he’s never said anything except made a few comments hinting that he sees me as more than a sister."

Mary dug in her purse and pulled out a tissue that she handed to Tess. "See there you go. Now you just go and fight for your man. Let him know how you feel. If you don’t then you’ll never know whether it was meant to be or not." Seeing her fiancée wave her she said, "Well I got to go as Jason is waving to me. I hope I was some kind of help to you, and don’t give up to soon."

"Thanks. You were a big help to me and maybe I’ll take your advice about fighting for him."

Mary smiled at her and got to her feet and with a wave she ran off to join the dark headed man waiting for her with a smile. Tess looked at them and smiled. Suddenly a thought occurred to her, ‘Wait a minute. Was that Mary and Jason from the radio? Huh how weird is that.’ She sighed and stood up and with a quick look around to see if anyone was around, she waved her hand over her face to remove the trace of tears away. ‘Maybe Mary was right and that all I have to do is tell him, but how can I. Wouldn’t Kyle have said something by now if he liked me at all? Being human is confusing with all these emotions and tears.’ Walking back towards the street she tried to figure out what to do and all she could think about was Kyle’s description of his dream girl. The more she thought about it the more depression consumed her and she was already talking herself out of telling Kyle about her feelings. A horn blew behind her startling her and she moved to the side of the street only for the car to blow again. Stopping she looked behind her and saw Max’s jeep driving pulling up behind her. She peered in the car window and saw Isabel driving alone.

"There you are. I’ve been driving around Roswell like a mad woman looking for you and asking people if they have seen you. Come on and get in before Deputy Hanson catches me sitting in the middle of the street," Isabel told her.

Tess sighed and hurried over to the passenger side. Getting in she buckled up as Isabel pulled off. The two sat quietly while Isabel glanced at her curiously. "Well the girls called me and told me about you being at the Crashdown when Kyle did his interview. Do you want to talk about it?"

She looked out the window, "No not really. I just want to go home and lay down for awhile."

"You really shouldn’t keep it all in, and besides Liz and Maria want us to come over and have a girls night."

"I really don’t feel up to it and I know the three of you will just interrogate me anyway. All I want to do now is just go home and be alone for a little while."

Isabel opened her mouth to argue but with another glance at Tess’ pale face and dejected look she decided that maybe it would be a better idea if she took her home. Knowing that the others would understand she turned the jeep to the road that would lead them to the Valenti’s house. A few minutes later they pulled up in front of the dark house and Tess unbuckled her seatbelt and told Isabel quietly, "Thanks. I’ll talk to you later and tell the others I’m sorry I couldn’t come over."

"Okay I’ll tell them and we’ll be over tomorrow to hang out," Isabel replied. She sat in the jeep and watched as Tess ran to the house and waited until she was sure Tess was safe in the house before pulling off. Pulling her phone out she dialed Maria’s number and drove as she waited for her to answer. Hearing Maria’s voice, Isabel said, "Tess isn’t coming over for girls night. I found her walking out by the park and took her home. She looks so lost and just dejected, and I didn’t think she was up to all of us interrogating her. I told her we would come over tomorrow and hang out with her. I’m sure the guys will give us a rain check for our Valentine’s Day dates." She paused and listened and answered, "Alright I’ll pick you and Liz up at the Crashdown tomorrow night at 7pm. See you then." Hanging up the phone she started heading home to get ready for the next day.

***********

Next Day

Kyle looked in the mirror and fidgeted with his suit jacket for what seemed like the fifth time in a few seconds. Finally giving up he moved away from the mirror and walked out of his dad’s room. He was having bad feelings about this date, but it was too late to back out of it now. He would have to just suck it up and see how the night went. Maybe he would have a good time, but he doubt it as his thoughts lately seem to be turning to the same thing or rather the same person, Tess. When he saw her run out of the Crashdown last night he felt something pinch his heart and he realized that all he really wanted to do was just spend Sweetest Day with her and no one else.

Coming to a halt to her door he knocked and waited for her to reply. Not hearing anything he knocked again, "Tess are you in there? It’s me Kyle. I would really like to talk to you." Silence greeted him and he laid his forehead on the door for a second and then pulled back and with one last lingering look he headed off to the living room. Soon a horn blew and he looked out the window to see the limo that the station sent over and with one more look he hurried out.

Unbeknown to him Tess was standing by her window looking at him got into the limo. Seeing the limo pull off she let the curtain fall back into place and moved to fall across her bed. With a wave of her hand the radio came on, "Good evening fellow Roswellians. This is DJ Johnny Robbins here at the Crashdown where I’m waiting for our King of Hearts, Kyle Valenti, to come and meet his dream girl. If you want to see what Kyle’s dream girl looks like then come on down to the Crashdown for a real treat. We’ll be back in a few minutes after this song which is dedicated to all you lonely hearts out there."

She sniffed and blinked away the tears that threaten to fall down. She closed her eyes and started singing along with the song as she desperately tried to forget what was going on tonight.

"I didn't mean it
When I said I didn't love you so
I should have held on tight
I never should've let you go
I did nothing
I was stupid
I was foolish
I was lying to myself
I could not fathom that I would ever
Be without your love
Never imagined I'd be
Sitting here beside myself

Cuz' I didn't know you
Cuz' I didn't know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt..
The feeling that I'm feeling now
Now that I don't hear your voice
Or even touch or even kiss your lips
Cause I don't have a choice
What I wouldn't give
To have you lying by my side

We belong together
When you left
I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby please come back
We belong together"


A minute later she got up determined not sit here and weep about what was going on with Kyle. Finding her favorite movie she settled on the bed and made sure the Kleenex was close by and her favorite cookies she turned on the movie. Not even a minute into the movie a knocking at her door interrupted her.

"It’s unlock so come on in," she yelled while keeping her eyes glued to the TV. Plucking a Kleenex she blew her nose as the door opened up to reveal Isabel, Maria and Liz all dressed up. "Hey guys what’s up with the dresses? Are the three of you going out?"

Isabel sagged against the doorframe as she took in Tess’ outfit, which consisted of gray sweatpants, a football jersey, one blue sock with stars on it and a pink sock with Piglett on it. Tess’ hair was flying around her face as if it hadn’t been combed in days and her face was bare of makeup. "It’s worst than I thought," she muttered.

"Oh is that Titanic," Maria asked while looking at the screen. Not waiting for Tess to answer she hopped on the bed next to her and took one of the cookies and sniffed. "Poor Jack and Rose. At least they’re together in the next life."

"I know it’s so sad yet beautiful at the same time," Liz moved next to Tess and grabbed a cookie as well.

Isabel could only look in disbelief as Tess, Maria and Liz started singing the Celine Dion song. Clearing her throat to get their attention she finally waved her hand at the TV cutting it off. Ignoring the protests she said, "Well Tess we’re here to take you out and get your mind off of Kyle."

"I don’t want to go out, and I’m not thinking about Kyle," Tess protested. The three girls looked at her in disbelief, "uh huh."

"Seriously I’m so over Kyle and I’m fine with him going out on this blind date."

"Uh huh."

"Would the three of you stop saying ‘uh huh," she glared at them.

"Uh huh," they said again mischievously.

Tess rolled her eyes, "Okay so what’s up with the dresses? If you came to cheer me up you’re a little over dress."

"Well we’re all going out with the guys to that new night club so you miss thing needs to go take a shower and get out your finery," Maria smiled at her.

"But isn’t this your special night with the guys? I mean I don’t want to ruin it," she protested.

"Nonsense. Now go ahead and go take a shower. We can find you something appropriate to wear so no protests," Isabel pulled Tess off the bed and gave her a push towards the bathroom. Tess started to protest, but sighed when she saw the stubborn looks on the girls faces she went to her dresser and got her underwear and with a grimace she headed off to the bathroom.

Waiting until the bathroom door closed Isabel looked at the others and said, "Well it looks like Operation Get Rid of the Bimbo is now in effect."

"Are you sure we should do this? I mean it doesn’t seem right to ruin Kyle’s date just because we believe that Kyle and Tess belong together. Is this the right thing to do," Liz queried.

The three girls looked at each other and finally together said, "Yes."

Summary: Based on a challenge by Jadeling...what if the radio station held another blind date contest, but this time its the guys turns.

AN: Alright everyone her is the conclusion of our story. Thanks to everyone that left feedback and even thanks to my lurkers as well. Special shout out to Jadeling for letting me do this challenge. I miss you girl and I hope you come back soon.

Chapter 8: Music, Truth, and Happily Ever After

Crashdown Café


Kyle stood surrounded by the radio station crew as groups of girls yelled out his name and tried to get closer to him. With a weak smile covering his face he waved which caused a few of the girls to scream louder. DJ Johnny just grinned at the sight and took a microphone from one of his assistants. "Well I’m here at the Crashdown with our King of Hearts Kyle Valenti. We’re about to introduce to Kyle his dream girl and here she is right now." A tall leggy blonde with clear blue eyes walked in wearing a short black dress. Johnny motioned for the young man to come over and when she stood in front of him he waved at Kyle, "Kyle Valenti meet your dream girl Samantha. Samantha is a senior at West Roswell High where she’s captain of the girls soccer team, and she plays basketball as well. She’s also captain of the debate team and she was born in Roswell and lived here her whole life. So Kyle what do you think?"

‘No way. I have a date with one of the most popular girls in school. How the hell did that happened? Maybe this date won’t be so bad after all.’ Hearing his name Kyle came out of his thoughts, "I think this might a great night after all."

Samantha walked up to Kyle and held out her hand, "Well, well I finally get a chance to go out with the infamous Kyle Valenti. It’s my pleasure to meet you."

Kyle raised an eyebrow at her and shook her hand with a grin, "I didn’t know I was infamous, but it’s nice to meet you too."

"Uh oh ladies it looks like we might have a love connection on our hands," DJ Johnny laughed. "Alright if you want to know more about Kyle’s dream date then stay tune to this channel or join us at the hottest new club in town, Serenity."

Seeing his producer signal that they were off the air he handed his microphone to his assistant and turned to Kyle and Samantha. "Okay the limo is going to take the two of you to the club and we’ll be right behind you in the station van. Now let’s get out of here before this crowd gets any wilder." The two nodded at him and started moving out the door.

Meanwhile…

"So do I pass inspection or not," Tess asked as the girls circled her and critiqued her spaghetti strap dark blue dress and black heels. She wore her hair straight and down her back and had on a small amount of makeup with a bracelet and necklace.

"Hmm I think red would have been a good color too, but the blue goes wonderfully with your eyes," Isabel told her. Liz and Maria nodded their head in agreement and echoed Iz’s assessment.

Tess grabbed her hairbrush and tapped it, "Thank you, thank you. I would like to take this time to thank all the small people who made this night possible."

"Yes that would be me," Maria snatched the brush out of Tess’ hands. "I would like to take this time to say…"

Isabel seeing that Maria was about to go into a long speech took the brush away, "Okay ladies the Academy has heard enough, now we really got to go if we don’t want to be late."

"Hey I didn’t get to thank the academy," Liz laughed.

"Well babe you got to be fast in order to get to do your speech otherwise they start playing the music or in this case just take your microphone away," Maria winked at her. All four girls looked at each other and started laughing.

Tess walked over to her closet and asked, "By the way where are we going?" Finally finding the black shawl she wanted she wrapped it around her and turned to look at the others.

"We’re going to that new club that has opened up. It’s called Serenity and it’s supposed to be the hottest place to be seen at," Isabel told her.

"Oh! I’ve heard about that place, some of the kids at school were talking about it," Tess smiled and picked up her small black handbag. "Alright I got everything so I’m ready whenever you all are."

The girls started towards the door and entered the living room only to see Sheriff Valenti hanging up the phone. Seeing the girls he smiled at them, "Well it looks like you ladies are dress to kill. I’m sure that the four of you will be the prettiest there."

"Thanks," the four said together.

"So Sheriff where are you taking my mother tonight," Maria crossed her arms while others tried to keep from laughing at her interrogation.

"Well I’m taking her to Senor Chow for dinner since we never got to finish our last date there. After that I’m taking her stargazing in the desert so we can get a better view of the stares. I hope that meets with your approval Miss Deluca," he grinned at her.

"Are you taking the cruiser and what time are you bringing her back," she asked.

The girls groaned at the interrogation, but knew that Maria was only looking out for her mom.

"Actually I’m picking Amy up in Kyle’s mustang and I’m not sure what time we’ll be home, but probably after the four of you get home," he told her.

Maria stared at him for a minute before nodding her head regally, "Okay just have fun and don’t get in any trouble."

The others quickly grabbed hold of Maria before she could instruct the Sheriff more and said their good byes and hurried out to the jeep. A few minutes later they arrived at their destination and looked for a parking spot. Finally finding one the four walked over to the club where the guys soon joined them. Tess tried not to laugh at how identical the guys were dressed in jeans and a blazer, but what really got her laughing were their shirts that had a big stop sign on it that read ‘Warning: I’m with the woman I love so don’t hit on me. Anyone found poaching on her property will find themselves unable to remember their name and address as that’s what happened to the last woman that didn’t listen.’

"Whose idea was this," Tess laughed as she pointed at the shirts.

"Alex," Max and Michael said in union hoping to throw the blame on anyone other than themselves.

"See Alex knows us so well. The two of you can learn something from him," Maria lectured Max and Michael who sputtered in disbelief.

The others laughed at the guys’ expression and soon the seven found themselves in the club after getting past security. Walking into the club they were greeted by booming music and a crowded dance floor. There were tables set to the side where people could sit and talk and a bar on the left and right sides of the club. After a few minutes the gang decided to find a table which took awhile as most of the tables were full.

"Man it’s packed in here. I feel like a pea in a pod which has hundreds of other peas in it," Alex joked. The guys groaned at the joke while the girls laughed and shook their heads.

"So what are we going to do first," Isabel asked.

Before anyone could answer they soon found a group of people coming their way and in front of the entourage were Kyle and his date and the radio jockey right behind them chatting. Kyle seeing his friends stopped at the table and introduced his date to everyone and stopped speaking when he saw Tess sitting at the table. The two stared at each other silently daring the other to speak.

Samantha narrowed her eyes and poked Kyle in the side, "Aren’t you going to introduce us?"

Startled at the poke, he blinked and cleared his throat, "Um yeah…Samantha meet Tess and vice versa. Tess lives with my dad and me."

"Hi. A pleasure to meet you I’m sure. Are you some kind of orphan or something? Oh my gosh, you’re not a juvenile delinquent are you," Samantha gasped and wrinkled her nose.

Upon hearing Samantha’s question the girls narrowed their eyes at her and the same thought was running through their minds, ‘The blonde bimbo has to go NOW.’ The guys looked at Samantha in disbelief and wondered if she had a death wish or something.

"Something like that, but no I’m not a juvenile delinquent. You know I hope the both of you have a good date. I think I’m going to go to the bar and get a drink. Excuse me," Tess said quietly as she got up and headed off to the bar.

Kyle moved to stop her, but Samantha locked her arms around his neck and kissed him.

"I hope she has life insurance because she’s so going to need it," Alex muttered as he took in the sight.

"That and a therapist," Michael told him.

"Better her than us," Max reminded them. All three nodded their head in agreement and watched the scene before them.

"Well this date is off to an excellent start. Kyle and Samantha just got that first kiss of the night in. Can I get an aww from you ladies out there? And we almost had a mini catfight on our hands. Did anyone else hear the grr in here," DJ Johnny commented to his listeners.

Breaking the kiss by pushing Samantha away, Kyle told her, "You know what I’m going to get us something to drink. A cherry coke okay with you?"

She started to protest, but soon found herself talking to thin air as Kyle was already walking across the club to the bar.

"While we’re waiting for our King of Hearts to come back with refreshments for his lady let’s make some small talk. So Samantha did you know that Liz and Isabel here were in our last two blind dates," DJ Johnny asked.

"Really? How interesting," she said dryly while looking at her nails.

"Susan," Maria started.

"That’s Samantha," she snarled.

"Susan, Bambi, whatever why don’t you have a seat, and let me tell you all about Kyle," Maria patted the chair next to her.

"What do you know about Kyle that I don’t know," she looked down her nose.

"I know plenty about Kyle Valenti. Starting with the fact that he has six children under the age of ten years old," Maria told her.

Alex who had been eating some peanuts started choking when Maria mentioned Kyle’s six children. Max hit him on the back and tried to keep a straight face as Maria with Liz and Isabel’s help started naming all six of Kyle’s kids.

While the girls were busy scaring Samantha away with tales of Kyle, he was making his way to the bar where Tess was sitting talking to a dark haired man.

Tess swirled around on the stool and took a sip of her drink that the guy next to her had recommended. ‘Who would have ever thought that Ice Tea would taste so good? I wonder why they call this a Long Island Ice Tea.’ With a shrug she took another sip and wondered at the feeling of being without any burdens. The man sitting next to her smirked at the obvious intoxicated girl and leaned in next to her. "So sweet thing. How about we leave this place and go somewhere more private? Maybe back to my place or yours."

"Are you hitting on me," she laughed.

Not used to woman laughing at him he frowned and smoothed it out with another sharp smile. "Well I would like to think that we made a connection here."

"No offense, but you look way too much like my ex-husband. Besides I’m in love with this guy, who doesn’t love me back," she sniffed.

"You’re ex-husband? Are you even old enough to vote," he looked at her in disbelief. "Anyway how about we go back to my place?"

"Sorry unless your name is Kyle Valenti then you’re out of luck," she winked at him and started humming to herself.

Rage overcame him at her rejection and he grabbed her wrist ignoring her yelp of pain. "Look here you’re going to come with me to my place and we’re going to have fun."

"If you don’t take your hands off me, you’re going to be very sorry," she narrowed her eyes at him and her hand started glowing lightly and the guy screamed and dropped her wrist.

"You bitch what did you do," he yelled. He started to grab her again but was interrupted by someone grabbing him and turning him around. Looking at the blonde guy in front of him he snarled, "What the hell do you want?"

"I want you to apologize to the lady."

"Like hell I am. She burned me somehow. Must be some kind of freak or something." Suddenly he found himself falling against the bar when Kyle punched him in the jaw. Glaring at him to make sure he didn’t get up, Kyle turned to Tess and asked gently, "Are you okay?"

"I’m just dandy now that you’re here," she smiled at him goofy and started to take another sip of her drink but Kyle took it from her hands. He sniffed it and took a small sip and put it out of Tess’ reach, "Oh no. You’ve been drinking alcohol. How much of this did you drink?"

"What are you talking about? That’s tea. Long Island Tea is what its call. Hmm I wonder if I’ll ever have a tea named after me," she pondered seriously.

Seeing that he was losing her he snapped his fingers in her face, "Tess you have to work with me here."

"You know you have really nice hands for a guy," she grabbed his fingers and kissed them.

"Okay yeah that’s a no no, well at least when you’re tipsy. Now if you want to do it when you’re sober then let me know," he winked at her, which caused her to giggle.

While they had been talking the dark haired guy got up and grabbed Kyle. He swung his fist with the intent to punch him back, but his arm froze in mid-air. "Hey no one hits my Buddha Boy and gets away with it," Tess told him and kept her hand raised in front of her.

"What did you do to me? You are some kind of freak," he yelled.

"Tess you have to let him go," Kyle muttered to her as he noticed the small crowd that was gathering around. "People are starting to notice what’s going on."

"Ah just take my joy away. Fine I’ll let him go, but next time he’ll know better than to mess with an alien queen and a Buddha boy," she said and waved her hand drunkenly and with that the guy went crashing into the bar. "Oops. Oh well," she shrugged.

"Um he’s drunk and has falling problems," Kyle told the crowd and dragged Tess away from the bar.

"Alright fellows grab your ladies on the dance floor for this slow jam. This next song is "You and Me" by Lifehouse and it’s dedicated to Mary and Jason who just got engaged yesterday. Congrats girlfriend," the female disc jockey yelled into her microphone before playing the song.

Tess stopped and Kyle looked back at her, "Hey why did you stop?"

"I wanna dance now. I love this song," she told him before throwing herself at him.

"Tess we really don’t have time to stop and dance," he started but stopped when he saw eyes pleading at him. "Oh alright, but if I step on your toes don’t so I didn’t warn you."

She laughed and stepped into his arms and the two danced to the music each wrapped up in the fact that they were finally where they wanted to be. "You know you have the most gorgeous eyes," she looked at him and smiled.

"You have the same eye color," he teased her.

"Well yeah that’s why they’re so gorgeous," she smiled at him. "But seriously they’re like this deep blue where you can lost in, and it’s like you can see deep into someone’s soul."

The music started fading and he leaned down and she reached up and their lips were a breath away when all of sudden a voice interrupted them. "Ladies and gents it seems as if our King of Hearts has found someone else on his way to the bar," DJ Johnny grinned at Kyle and motioned to his assistant to take a picture. Turning to Samantha who had walked up with him he asked, "So does this mean that the date is over?"

"I wouldn’t go out with Kyle Valenti again if he was the last man on Earth. You should be ashamed of yourself running around chasing girls when you got six babies to feed," she glared at him.

"Whoa! Who has six babies," Kyle looked confused. "Never mind it doesn’t matter since I got to go."

Kyle grabbed Tess and started moving through the crowd. "Hey you can’t leave before the date is over," Johnny shouted. "Alright listeners we’re now on the hunt for our King of Hearts and his new date." He started running trying to get through the crowd and his whole entourage was behind him while Samantha rolled her eyes and headed towards the bar.

Stopping by the table, Kyle told his friends, "Um Tess is drunk and I got to go. I’m going to take her home and I’ll see you later. Oh by the way someone will tell me tomorrow why my date believed I have six kids!"

The guys started laughing, but stopped when the girls looked at them. They all watched as Tess and Kyle ran out the exit door and the girls turned to each other and high five each other. "Are we good or what," Isabel smirked.

"Oh yeah, but what are we going to tell Kyle tomorrow," Liz asked.

"I don’t know, but I’m betting he won’t care since he has an intoxicated Czech on his hands. Now I don’t know from personal experience, but from what I’ve seen the Czechs tend to get all romantic when they get drunk," Maria smiled. "It couldn’t gone off better if we had planned it ourselves. I think we should celebrate with some dancing."

The girls grabbed their significant other and headed off the dance floor content that they had done all they could do for Tess and Kyle.

****

Having gotten out of the exit without being accosted by the radio station DJ, Kyle pulled Tess around the corner and motioned for her to be quiet. A minute later the door opened to reveal DJ Johnny and his entourage looking on the main street trying to figure out where Kyle and his mystery woman had gone. "Can you make them see us driving down the street in my mustang," Kyle whispered in her ear.

She got distracted for a minute and leaned closer to him, but snapped out of it when Kyle repeated his question. "Sure Buddha boy just let me concentrate," she whispered and closed her eyes to concentrate. A minute later they heard Johnny say, "Okay listeners. It looks like Kyle and his mystery woman is driving away in a red mustang, so if anyone sees them then call the station and let us know. Wow these blind dates each year get wilder. All right lets go we have a King of Hearts to find and his mystery woman. Never fear fellow Roswellians I’m not giving up until I’m dead or in jail."

With that Johnny and the entourage hurried to their van and pulled off. Kyle waited until the coast was clear and then he clasped hands with Tess and started walking. "Let’s hope that no one will recognize us. Now I better get you hope for something else happens."

"No let’s go to the park and play instead," she told him. Letting go of his hand she tapped on the shoulder and said, "You’re it." Not waiting to see if he was going to play or not she started running. He groaned and chased behind her calling her name, ‘Man she might be tipsy but she’s kicking butt running.’ Finally he caught up with her at the park which happened to be a few blocks away. He looked around and saw her sitting on the swing pushing back and forth slowly.

"Hey you finally made it. Jeez you’re slow Kyle and you call yourself an athlete," she scolded then giggled.

"Tess come on and stop playing now. I got to get you home before anything else happens," he tried to tug her up but she dug her feet into the sand and held onto the chain.

"No I don’t want to go. I want to stay here and I want you to stay with me."

"Tess," he started to say but stopped when she laid a finger across his lips.

"I don’t want to leave. I like how we’re together having fun and I don’t want the night to end."

Moving her finger away he asked, "Tess what’s going on? I mean we always have fun together."

"Yes we do, but tonight I realized that I want to have more. When you’re not with me it’s as if all the stars have stop shining." Suddenly it got even darker as if the stars had really gone away. "When you’re near me even just to say hello I feel as if all the heavens have blessed me and light is shine into my darkness." Kyle looked around in amazement as the sky exploded with stars and he looked at Tess to see her glowing white.

"Tess you don’t know what you’re saying. You’re drunk and it’s affecting what you’re thinking," he told her.

"Kiss me," she demanded.

"What?"

She stood up and he moved to give her room. Stepping to him she angle her face up and demanded again that he kissed her. He searched her eyes before drawing her closer and he kissed her. Breaking off the kiss he looked down at her to see her with her eyes closed and a smile covering her face. Feeling a stare she opened her eyes and looked at him.

"Do you remember anything," he asked her.

"Nope. Maybe you should refresh my mind and kiss me again," she teased him.

"Well if you say so, and oh yeah one more thing. I love you oh alien queen," he kissed her nose.

She groaned at the name but brighten up at his declaration of love. Twining her arms around his neck she said, "I love you too Buddha boy." A second later they heard music being played softly and they looked around and spotted the radio sitting on the picnic table. Shrugging the two started swaying to the music as the smoky voice sang,

"I'm spoiled

By your love boy

No matter how I try to change my mind

What's the point it's just a waste of time

I'm spoiled by your touch boy

The love you give is just too hard to fight

Don't want to live without you in my life

I'm spoiled"


"You know I wonder whatever happened to the radio station," Tess muttered.

"No idea, but I’m sure they’re still looking for us," he laughed.

As the couple kept dancing to the music wrapped up in each other, the radio station had finally found Kyle’s red mustang after a caller had called saying that she saw it parked at the infamous Buckley Point. Getting out of the van DJ Johnny motioned to his crew to get the camera ready. He saw that the windows were fogged up and grinned even more. "

Well Roswellians it looks like we finally found our King of Hearts and it looks like he didn’t waste time with getting to know his mystery woman better." He pulled opened the driver door startling the occupants that obviously wasn’t Kyle and his mystery woman. Recognizing the man before him DJ Johnny started cursing. Jim Valenti stepped out of the car and pulled out his cell phone. A few minutes later a squad car pulled up and hauled away Johnny and his crew. "Hey you can’t arrest me. I’m a public figure and I still have to find Lyle," he shouted.

"That’s Kyle," his assistant muttered.

"Oh shut up!"

The passenger door of the mustang opened up and Amy Deluca stepped out. "It’s a good thing he didn’t get pictures of me otherwise I’d never hear the end of it with Maria."

The two looked at each other and shudder then started laughing at how their date ended.

"Something tells me that Kyle is having a great time," Jim smiled as he realized that he was sure that there was a certain alien factor to what had just happened a few minutes ago.

The End
