Walking behind the counter, I open the fridge and pull out a few cans from inside. There’s few bottles of Snapple too, so I guess I’ll take both and then people can have what they want…
Kyle and the others can have something too, when they finally get here…
How much longer…? This act is hard enough as it is, but I know it’s going to get harder… Next I have to hold it up in front of Tess… I have to watch her smiling and talking to Max, and make out I don’t care about him.
How long will we have to keep this up…how long until we can show people how we really feel… How long until the diamond around my neck finds it’s permenant home…?
I reach up while my back is to the others, touching my necklace. We can get through this…together… I concentrate on remembering the things that were said tonight, the feelings, the promise…
All this gives me a strength I never knew I had and I manage to keep an even expression as I pick up the selection of drinks and carry them over. “Ok, there’s Snapple and Cherry coke…” I tell the others, hoping Michael doesn’t mind me playing hostess as such. I just need something to keep me busy, to keep my mind off…other things…

I stand and begin pacing even as Liz goes into the small kitchen I have and begins putting together refreshements. There was a time when I would have thrown a fit, but that was a long time ago it seems. A knock sounds on my door and then the door swings open to reveal Kyle and coming up the walk behind him is Alex which means they managed to time things perfectly. Now if only we knew where Tess was.
As if on cue, my phone begins ringing and I pick it up. "Yeah?"
"Michael, it's Tess. I think you all have got to come and see something. I'm standing here with a bus load of people. The bus has a familiar symbol." She seems to stress her words and I wonder whether someone is standing near her.
"Where are you? We're all at my place now."
I turn to the others as I hold my hand over the reciever, "Tess, she's seen a bus with the symbol on it and there's a bus load she said." I placed the phone on speaker, figuring it would be better that way.
"Zeus, why are we waisting time here?" I hear someone say in the backround.
"We don't have the answers. Only our nice and mysterious guide has any clue what's going on, I hope she does anyway." I hear a male voice in the background. Glancing over at Max and Iz, I wonder what their thoughts are on this.
Alex moves to sit on the couch beside Isabel, more then likely wishing that he could do something to help her without worrying about making her feel uncomfortable. It was obvious to all of us that he was head over heals for Iz. I couldn't blame him though, if she weren't so much like a sister to me I could definitely see something happening. Still, as that thought enters my mind I shake it away. She IS like a sister to me and I really don't need that image.
"We're at the edge of town as though heading for the reservation...." Tess begins and suddenly the same voice from earlier sounded, the child-like riddler as I was starting to think of her.
"Silly nilly's. Waisting time. When the clock strikes, nothing will be fine. yak yak yak, he won't be back.." Then the girls voice goes silent.
"This Quixote is strange," Tess commented.
The girl from a moment ago spoke, "You haven't seen the best of it, or worst of it however you want to look at it."
"Where should I park this bus so we don't have to worry about the wrong sort locating us?" The guy asked.
"Hold on, Zeus? Let me ask my friends." Tess said and then paying attention to her call asked, "So what's your call?"
I looked over at Max and Isabel, wondering just what they might be thinking.

I'm glad and a bit surprised when Michael picks up the phone and Tess is on the line. We've been wanting to contact her, but I'd have expected her to call Isabel first since she doesn't have my number yet, not Michael. ... not that she and Michael aren't friends. Maybe they're closer than I thought after all the training they did over the summer...
A bus with a 'symbol' on it. From her tone, I'm guessing it's not an ordinary symbol. The voices in the background are puzzling, too. 'Zeus is a most unusual name. Then that strange voice talking in riddles. Who won't be back? Well, I guess we came into the middle of something there. Maybe it makes sense to those who were there...
Where should she park the bus, she wants to know. A bus... Well, not a residential street, I don't think. Not the Crashdown, they don't have that kind of parking. The UFO center has spaces for tour-buses, but if it's got a 'symbol' on it, maybe we don't want it there...
The school might be good, as long as the police don't notice it, but I guess we could call the Sheriff and he could tell them the bus is permitted... Or there's the truck stop. They have a motel there, two restaurants and all the tourist souvenier shops, although that might be a bit too public ...
"I think the high school or the truck stop would be okay, depending on what this bus looks like," I say. I want to ask about the symbol, but I don't know if Tess has her phone on 'speaker,' too.

As I’m setting down the drinks on the table, a knock on the door sounds and I look up just in time for the door to open, revealing Kyle and Alex. “Hey guys…” I great them softly. I’m just trying to act normal, ease some of the tension in the air, and not think about how much I want to be sat like Michael and Maria right now of course… She does look comfortable there sat in his arms…
I keep trying to direct my eyes anywhere except Max, because the way that I’m feeling, all I want to do is run and throw myself into his arms. I knew this was going to be hard, but it’s twice as much so given that I’m scared too… We don’t know anything about this girl, but she came to us, and visited my balcony… I don’t know whether she was looking for me, or Max, or both of us, but the fact remains that she exists, and just as everyone else, I need to know what she wants…
A sudden shrill noise almost makes me drop the last of the bottles. Okay, so I’m jumpy at the moment…
I colour slightly, retaking my seat quickly and feeling extremely embaressed as Michael grabs something from the table and I realize it was just the phone. You’ll be scared of your own shadow next Parker…pull yourself together!
“Where are you? We’re all at my place now…”
I’m about to ask who it is, but before I get chance, Michael answers the question anyway, identifying the caller as Tess.
Perhaps surprisingly, the mention of her name doesn’t make me feel that sense of dread I had prepared myself for at the moment…but then again I guess that could be because of the other bit of information provided… A bus with a symbol…the symbol…what exactly does she mean by that…?
The background conversation we hear as Michael puts the phone onto speaker does nothing to answer this question though.
Could this night get any weirder… Although I guess it did have some very nice parts too… Under any other circumstances, I’d smile, thinking about events of a little over an hour ago…it was perfect…
But right now, it’s not the time…I can’t afford to be thinking about that, especially not given it just makes it harder as I have to watch Michael with Maria, and now Isabel with Alex…
I just want to be able to be with Max…
I force myself to think of other things, concentrating on the current situation. The conversation on the phone doesn’t seem to clear up either, a young girl’s voice coming over the line for a moment. Zeus…Quixote…
I shake my head, unsure about any of this. The guy – Zeus I presume, sounds pretty serious as he asks where to park the bus.
Tess hasn’t really been specifically speaking to us before, but now she does again, relaying the question. I see Michael look over at Max, who seems to think for a moment. He’s probably going over possible sights…where in Roswell is a bus not going to seem unusual…? Well I guess that depends on the size…
So new people, a strange bus with a symbol and a little girl who’s been doing the rounds… I wonder what’s next…? I guess only time will tell…

"I think the high school or the truck stop would be okay, depending on what this bus looks like," Max says and I wait to hear what Tess tells them.
I don't have to wait long before she says, "I think the high school would be the best idea for that." She seems to pause and I wonder why. "Zeus, do you want me to ride with you, direct you?"
The male voice responds, "If you want to. I'm sure I'd find it myself." He seems to pause himself, "Quixote, can you help us be less noticeable here?"
The sing song voice comes back, speaking without riddle for one of those rare moments, "Hmm, I can but then they could choose to ignore."
Tess's voice came back over the phone, "I think she's worried that if she helps them blend in, we won't pay attention to them and listen to their need."
I shrugged, knowing I was about to say something that was unusual for me. "Be careful, Tess. I don't know about the others, but I'll meet you at the school."
"Alright, I'll keep my cell on in case you need to call me." Tess responded, "See you soon Michael." With that the line went dead and I shut off the phone.
"Maxwell, I'm going. What do you want to do?" I questioned simply, looking over at Max.

"Of course we're going, too," I tell Michael. Why does he always feel he has to go it alone? "I'm guessing the symbol on the bus has something to do with the strange girl who painted the symbol at Liz's."
"Of course it does!" Maria says, sounding almost annoyed at my theory. "That was her. The one singing the riddles. The one Tess called Quixote."
"Oh," I say. I guess it seemed obvious to Maria. "I've never heard her. Liz and I only saw the symbol," I remind her. In this case, it's much more urgent that we sort it out. When the clock strikes, nothing will be fine. Aparently, we're expected before the top of the hour. Checking the clock, I see we have about 25 minutes.
"Let's go then. Does anyone need a ride?" I ask.

I've been sitting here in silence for most of the evening, which for me is highly unusual, but I really don't know what to say or do. I'm also a little embarassed about my earlier outburst and so I'm trying to stay calm, quietly, without asking anyone else to make it better. It's even harder because Liz, as usual, seems totally fine- serving drinks and also trying to make it better for everyone. I know that Max is worried about this and so I'm trying to not make extra work for him, but I'm finding it hard not to worry. So I'm just sitting here quietly, trying to figure out how this relates to everything else, and not be a burden.
I grab a drink from the tray that Liz places on the table and then just watch Michael as he paces the floor.
Kyle and Alex arrive just as Tess calls on the phone and it seems as if soon our company will be complete.
I listen with frustrated confusion to their conversation as Alex comes and sits beside me. I don't understand what's happening, I don't understand why we've been contacted, or what's wanted from us.
Max of course, takes control and acts like the leader he is, telling Tess to meet us at either the school or a truck stop, and Michael tells her to go to the school.
I'm guessing the symbol on the bus has something to do with the strange girl who painted the symbol at Liz's.
Of course it does! "That was her. The one singing the riddles. The one Tess called Quixote."
I nod silently in agreement, while meeting Max's gaze.
Oh,I've never heard her. Liz and I only saw the symbol,"
I wonder why Liz called him when she saw the symbol, especially as they have been a little akward together for the last few weeks, but my thoughts are interupted by Max
"Let's go then. Does anyone need a ride?"
"I'll ride with you Max, if that's ok?" I say looking at Liz. I'm not sure what's going on with them, but I don't want to intrude where I'm not wanted. They seem to be a little better then they have been, but I'm still unclear where they stand. If they are making progress I don't want to get in the way, but I'm not sure if they are making progress.
Liz has always made Max happy like nothing else, at least until the Gomex incident. After everything that happened with our doubles I want to do anything that will make him happy. If they want to be alone, and that will make him happier I would understand and try to make myself scarce for that.

The problem with changing the world is that it makes any life beyond that impossible...

"That'll be great," I tell Isabel. I wasn't sure if Alex had a car today or not. His brothers usually managed to get it first. If Isabel needed a ride, then probably ... "Alex, why don't you join us, too? And I guess Liz, since I brought you here." I try to be sure that my voice sounds just a little cold as I mention Liz, remembering that to the world, it has to look like I'm still really upset with her and trying to hide it, forcing a semi-friendly tone, even if only Tess, Liz and Kyle know why...
Alex smiles broadly and follows us outside. "I'll meet the rest of you there," I say, assuming that Kyle can bring them in his dad's car, even if Maria doesn't have her Mom's Jetta.
*~*~*~*~*~*
*Rome*
"Come on in then," I tell the blonde girl who called herself Tess. After all, it looked like she had been walking and she probably wouldn't have offered to ride if she had her own vehicle nearby.

Isabel looks at me after Max offers a lift to anyone that needs it. I know that she’s probably trying to work out what’s going on between us, and I know full well what we have to do. Max does suggest me traveling with him, although keeping his tone tight and cold. I know what he’s doing, and seeing that I’m guessing Maria drove here, I think I might just push it a little further. “No, that’s fine…Maria will give me a lift won’t you…I don’t want to be putting you out anymore than I already have…” I tell him in an equally tight manner.
In truth it’s probably for me to do it this way anyway…being so close to Max, and having to keep up this front…at least for a few minutes I get to forget about it…I hope…
Maria nods, although she looks a little surprised at my response. She knows that we’re not on the best of footings at the moment, and of course she knows exactly why, but I get the feeling in the end she thinks things will turn out okay… Hopefully we’ll prove her right of course, but it will take time…
For now we have to stick to this, and as we head out of the apartment, I make sure to keep my gaze away from him, concentrating on anything other than his dark head of hair, and climbing into the back of the jetta in silence, leaving the front passenger seat for Michael if he wants it…

I look at Liz in something like shock, although I think I understand her reasons. "Fine then," I say shortly. "Looks like we have enough drivers. Let's get out of here and see what this is all about."
Turning away from Liz and the others, I get in the jeep. Isabel and Alex have joined me, so I head off to the school.
What could this be about? A small girl talking in riddles, painting symbols on the wall of Liz's house and one on a bus, visiting all of us and demanding that someone needs our help ... needs all of us. I hope this isn't some kind of trap although I'm not feeling particularly threatened right now. Still, this is definately strange.
Less than ten minutes later, I pull into the parking lot. The bus isn't yet here, so I just park near the bus lanes and shut off the jeep. "Guess we're here first," I say.
