As everyone decides that they are going and with whom, I nod and simply stand there planning on leaving once everyone is out of the house. "Hey, Spaceboy? You riding with Liz and me?" I hear Maria ask after she's nodded toward Liz.
"No, you two go ahead. I'll take my bike and meet you there." I say, deciding that as much as I wanted to make certain that Maria was safe, I wanted to try and beat everyone to the school. As soon as everyone was out and gone, I hopped on my motorcycle and drove through the backways, however thanks to a dump truck, I didn't pull in before Max, but right after. Pulling up beside him, I wait quietly, not in the mood for any talking.
A couple minutes later Maria and Kyle both pull up in their vehicles and I notice that she parked on the left side of Max's jeep which meant Liz and Max would easily be able to talk, while I was on the right side of his jeep and Kyle pulled up on my right.
~Tess (Temping)~
Nodding to the younger of the girls, I get into the bus and take a seat. "What is the meaning of all this secrecy?" I asked, wanting to find out what I could and whether they knew about me and my friends, about what we were. The boy Zeus got into the drivers seat and started up the bus, turning in the direction I motioned as he glanced toward me.
Even while I waited for this girl's response, I continued to give Zeus directions to the school lot. Wondering whether the others would make it before us or not, I hoped that I wasn't being used to help trap the others. As much as I despised Liz, I wouldn't wish her harm either, after all she'd been trying to help me get Max's interest.
I really wanted Max to remember what our lives were like on Antar, how strong our love was. Yet, there was a part of me that couldn't help but wonder if it was my wish or Nacedo's upbringing that caused it.

"Nexes, of course," I tell the girl. She may not be part of them, but she must be aware of the danger. "If they found out about us we'd be in trouble. We can't let them capture any of the Storm."
I bite my lip, looking back toward the curtained divider that hides my brother. "They've already hurt us a lot. Quixote said you and your friends could help us."

"Nexes, of course," The young girl tells me and adds, "If they found out about us we'd be in trouble. We can't let them capture any of the Storm."
I notice her biting her lip apparently nervous, "They've already hurt us a lot. Quixote said you and your friends could help us."
"How are we supposed to do that? And what is Nexes? I've never heard of it. I can understand people not liking the mob, cops, FBI and such, but what exactly is this Nexes." I asked, trying desperately to figure out how I had come to be in the middle of this and how this Quixote thought we could help. How did she know about us?

Max smiles and then invites Alex to ride with us, as well as Liz but she surprises me by deciding to go with Maria instead. Maybe my female intuition is failing because I could swear that she still has as many feelings for my brother as he does for her, but there is little time to ponder as Alex smiles and follows me to the jeep.
I try not to be uncomfortable with him in the jeep, but I feel unsure of where we stand so I just look out the window and try to slow my spinning brain. I mean, I like Alex, but he scares me too. He just knows me a little too well. Max and Michael- they are bound to me, but Alex could just up and leave anytime, and I'm not sure how comfortable I am with someone knowing me, who could then... leave.
As we arrive at the school I shelve my idle thoughts. Guess we're here first
"I guess so" I reply, unsure of what to say. Michael arrives on his bike and soon after Maria and Kyle pull up to. Suddenly feeling claustrophobic I get out of the jeep and walk to the curb, several feet away. Then not wanting to sit, but not wanting to go back either I just sort of step up and down on it until I hear someone behind me. I turn and see Alex smiling sheepishly.

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

I don't understand this girl. Quixote said she could be trusted and that she could help. And I trust Quixote with my life, just as I'm trusting her with the life of my brother right now. But I don't understand why this Tess seems to confused about Nexes.
Still Quixote did say she was the one. Or one of them. And that if we needed their help by the striking of the hour...
"We need someplace safe. We need someone to help my brother," I tell her as Zeus drives up to a group of connected low buildings. He pulls into the parking lot and drives towards a small group of cars parked by the side. I turn to Tess, waiting to see if this is the safe place we need. Is this were we're going to find the technology Hart needs to be cured?
*~*~*~*~*~*
*Max*
I look over as the Jetta pulls up next to the jeep. Liz is right there next to me. I frown slightly, not quite meeting her eyes as I send her a wave of welcome across our empathic connection.
Alex and Isabel get out of the jeep as Michael rides up on his motorcycle.
"Guess we're all here," I say. Isabel had the right idea. No need to stay in the jeep. I open the door and step out, just as a strangely painted bus arrives. In an instant, I see why Tess was interested in these people.
In the middle of everything else, there's a silver symbol a good thirty inches high. The whirlwind. Just like at Liz's balcony. Somebody definately knows something. I wish I could erase this one as easily as I could the one at the Crashdown, but I can't let them know.
Or maybe I can. The girl who contacted the others -- the one who painted the symbol at Liz's -- she's on board. She said she could change the symbol and I don't doubt it. She'd refused because she was afraid we wouldn't help, although I'm glad she didn't for another reason. They were apparently on a public street and we don't want weird things happening where people can see.
Fortunately, we're now in a deserted schoolyard. Nobody here to see anything except us...
"Let's go," I say, walking towards the vehicle. As I get there, I touch the bus and instantly repaint it in the familar yellow and black of a Roswell school bus. Now it won't stand out so much, especially here.

"We need someplace safe. We need someone to help my brother," the girl tells me and it all seems to begin fitting.
"What's wrong with him?" I ask, thinking that the more information I have the easier it will be to explain to the others. We've pulled to a stop and Zeus turns to look at us.
"We're here and I think the welcome party is also here." He seems tense and I can understand why. I'm certain that he's just as nervous as I am about this entire issue.
"Don't worry, these are my friends." I told them, though there were still times when I wondered if they really thought of me as a part of the group, especially Max. I knew that if he could only give me a real chance that he'd remember what it was like for us on Antar, he'd realize he could love me.
Zeus shrugged, "Jakki, Robbie, stay in the back with Hart. Rome, I want you with me but be careful."
I couldn't help but think that he sounded a bit like the way Max could be and wondered if he was their leader. Without another word, Zeus opened the bus door and walked out leaving me and Rome behind. Shrugging I followed, hoping that Rome would answer my question on the way.
However, by the time we exited, everyone was already surrounding the bus. I waved, "Hi guys."
~Zeus~
There was no way I was going to trust these strangers inside the bus and yet I knew that if they were the ones that were supposed to help Hart, I'd have no choice. As I walked out of the bus, I glanced at each one and shook my head, they are just kids, just like us. Quixote flashes in next to one of them, he appears to be the leader. "Quixote, how are these kids going to be able to help when our medical technology couldn't?" I asked the strange little girl.
"Don't ask me. Explain what is and what will be, only then will you really see." She responds with a grin as she reaches for the short brown haired guy's hand, "I'm Quixote and I'm a girl." She said and I heard Jakki's laughter from inside the bus. Quixote was glancing at the boy as she said, "Don't be afraid, Max. Your secret is safe."

*Rome*
I spare one more look at the curtain at the back of the bus, wishing my brother a silent good-bye. I want to stay with him but I also need to help find him help. I trust Zeus and especially Quixote, so I follow them outside.
Tess seems very happy to see them and I notice Quixote appear besides one of the other teenagers. I can't help but think he looks very cute, although the other dark-haired guy there is also pretty nice looking.
*Max*
A tall teenager comes out of the bus, followed by Tess and a younger girl. I smile at Tess's easy greeting. As if there was nothing at all unusual about meeting like this in a school parking lot in the middle of the night with a bus of strangers who seem to know too much about us.
"Hi Tess," I say. "Glad to see you. We'd been looking for you."
As much as I'm concerned about the strangers and especially the baffling girl, Tess is still a priority here. She needs to know how valued she is. I need to value her more, too, even if we're not going to be together.
Before I can say much more, the strange girl appears beside me. I recognize her instantly from the flash and I know she was the one who painted the symbol.
"Quixote, how are these kids going to be able to help when our medical technology couldn't?" the taller teen asks.
Medical technology -- help. I'm getting a clue that they're looking for me to use my powers to heal someone.
"Don't ask me. Explain what is and what will be, only then will you really see." She responds with a grin and then takes my hand. "I'm Quixote and I'm a girl. she says and I can't help but smile. She sounds cute as a two-year-old, although I know this is very serious. She does, too, as she adds, "Don't be afraid, Max. Your secret is safe."
I nod, although the smile I had a moment before flees as I pinch my lips together. My secret is safe, she said. "What do you people know about us? What do you need?" I ask.

As it happens, Michael says that he’s going to take his bike. Maria looks possibly a bit hurt about this, but then motions for me to get into the front anyway. I climb over into the seat I had been leaving for Michael, and then reach up to pull down the seat belt.
It doesn’t take long to get to the school once we’ve set off, and it hardly seems like five minutes – although it is a little longer than that – until we’re pulling up in the parking lot.
I make no response as I realize that Maria is taking the spot to the left of Max. I know exactly what’s going through her mind, but I really wish she would give it a rest… To be honest, it’s making it harder… I look over just slightly, but force myself to keep any hint of a smile from my face, avoiding meeting his eyes.
Although on the outside Max is doing the same, on the inside I feel a warm wave of something coming over the strange connection which seems to exist between us. A welcome…something to tell me he’s pleased I’m here…
As much as Maria keep trying to put us together doesn’t help, these feelings do… They remind me, not that I really need it, that this is all a front… But more than that, they remind me of everything that happened tonight. Inwardly I smile, trying to send back a thanks, along with something of a reassurance – or I hope that will be how it comes out. Even if we can’t be ‘together’ in the eyes of others, I’m glad he’s here…
As everyone starts to get out, I do the same. Unfortunately, Max and I seem to decide to do so at the same time, and although our doors don’t collide, I do end up brushing against his arm just slightly. I hold my breath a moment, quickly distancing myself from him as another vehicle arrives.
My eyes widen as I take in the appearance of the bus, and this time, I don’t stop myself looking over at Max. He looks as worried about it as anyone else, and chew my lip nervously as it pulls up in one of the spaces.
“Let’s go…”
I watch as Max goes over to the bus, taking a quick look around and then touching it, erasing the symbol much as he did on my balcony.
A strange girl suddenly appears among us, and it takes little to recognize her voice. The others recognize her visually of course, and I guess I will in future…
Three people exit the bus, Tess, who seems surprisingly cheerful as she waves at us, a guy and a girl… None of them look to be much older than us I don’t think, and the girl certainly looks rather younger. The boy – who appears as though he might be in charge, asks how we’re going to help them, but the only answer the girl gives is a something of a riddle.
She does introduce herself to Max however, before saying something about knowing his secret. Looking round, it’s hardly surprising that none of our group seem to have liked that one. Max and the others worked hard keeping their secret just that…a secret, and Maria, Alex, Kyle and I have done the same since we found out the truth.
There’s a little niggling inside me too… She said she knew his secret…I know what everyone else will be thinking of as far as that goes, but there is another possibility… And her sharing that would be just as worrying…
After seeing Max do his part as far as Tess goes, I know I need to try to, offering a similar smile even if I’m not really sure what to actually say. ‘Good to see you…?’ – How convincing it’ll be I don’t know, but then I do want to try again… I chew my lip a moment and decide I might as well give it a go. “It’s good to see you…” I respond softly in response to her greeting. It’s not much I know, but it’s a start…
Part of me freezes as I hear Max’s response to Quixote’s – as she’s introduced herself – comment. Probably she is just meaning about their powers, the fact that they’re aliens, but then if she put that symbol on my wall, she came to my balcony at a time when she could definitely have seen or heard something more. I try to stay calm, hoping that it is the obvious as opposed to anything else, but still I hold my breath as I wait to hear the answer.

~Tess~
As the others walk up, I'm a little surprised by Max's greeting, "Hi Tess," he says, "Glad to see you. We'd been looking for you." Since our issues in New York, I really hadn't seen much of him or heard much from him. It had been kind of made obvious on the way home from there that he was wanting to get away from me, but I didn't know why. So, why did he say that?? Of course, he did come to rescue me when Lonnie and Rath had me. Maybe he cared more then I thought?
That would have to wait, I'd need to think on those sorts of things later. For now, there was something else that required our attention. Of course, Liz's greeting caught me even further off guard, “It’s good to see you…”
"Thanks..." I reply, uncertain what else to say and simply look around to watch what was going on.
"Quixote, how are these kids going to be able to help when our medical technology couldn't?" Zeus asks this of Quixote as she suddenly appears beside Max.
"Don't ask me. Explain what is and what will be, only then will you really see." She responds with a grin and then takes Max's hand. "I'm Quixote and I'm a girl." I laugh slightly at that, Quixote had been a part of the reason I'd relaxed so easily in the first place even with her strange riddles. "Don't be afraid, Max. Your secret is safe."
I notice the smile Max had given vanished after the seriousness of the final comment. "What do you people know about us? What do you need?"
I look at Zeus, "Zeus, I think maybe you or Rome should explain..." I'm a bit hesitant in feeling like I'm intervening perhaps at the wrong time.
~Zeus~
"What do you people know about us? What do you need?" The one called Max asks Quixote and the rest of us in a manner.
Before I can respond Tess looks at me and comments, "Zeus, I think maybe you or Rome should explain..."
I nod, "I'll explain and anything I miss, Rome can interject." I look at this Max, more assured now that he is indeed the leader. "We are not and never have been from this place. I know nothing of your time and lands, not even certain where and when we are. All I know is that Quixote said she would guide us to someone that might have the cure for Rome's brother who is currently in the back of the bus hooked to machines and dying. He's got progressive aging syndrome and it's causing his cells to degenerate."
I look over at Rome and reach out a hand to place it on her shoulder, "We couldn't pass up any chance there might be to save Hart. He's a brilliant doctor and a very loyal friend. He's also the only family Rome has. Where we come from we never live past the age of thirty, but Hart isn't even past the age of eighteen yet."
As the others walk up, I'm a little surprised by Max's greeting, "Hi Tess," he says, "Glad to see you. We'd been looking for you." Since our issues in New York, I really hadn't seen much of him or heard much from him. It had been kind of made obvious on the way home from there that he was wanting to get away from me, but I didn't know why. So, why did he say that?? Of course, he did come to rescue me when Lonnie and Rath had me. Maybe he cared more then I thought?
That would have to wait, I'd need to think on those sorts of things later. For now, there was something else that required our attention. Of course, Liz's greeting caught me even further off guard, “It’s good to see you…”
"Thanks..." I reply, uncertain what else to say and simply look around to watch what was going on.
"Quixote, how are these kids going to be able to help when our medical technology couldn't?" Zeus asks this of Quixote as she suddenly appears beside Max.
"Don't ask me. Explain what is and what will be, only then will you really see." She responds with a grin and then takes Max's hand. "I'm Quixote and I'm a girl." I laugh slightly at that, Quixote had been a part of the reason I'd relaxed so easily in the first place even with her strange riddles. "Don't be afraid, Max. Your secret is safe."
I notice the smile Max had given vanished after the seriousness of the final comment. "What do you people know about us? What do you need?"
I look at Zeus, "Zeus, I think maybe you or Rome should explain..." I'm a bit hesitant in feeling like I'm intervening perhaps at the wrong time.
~Zeus~
"What do you people know about us? What do you need?" The one called Max asks Quixote and the rest of us in a manner.
Before I can respond Tess looks at me and comments, "Zeus, I think maybe you or Rome should explain..."
I nod, "I'll explain and anything I miss, Rome can interject." I look at this Max, more assured now that he is indeed the leader. "We are not and never have been from this place. I know nothing of your time and lands, not even certain where and when we are. All I know is that Quixote said she would guide us to someone that might have the cure for Rome's brother who is currently in the back of the bus hooked to machines and dying. He's got progressive aging syndrome and it's causing his cells to degenerate."
I look over at Rome and reach out a hand to place it on her shoulder, "We couldn't pass up any chance there might be to save Hart. He's a brilliant doctor and a very loyal friend. He's also the only family Rome has. Where we come from we never live past the age of thirty, but Hart isn't even past the age of eighteen yet."

*Max*
My heart starts to sink as Zeus' words confirm my previous assumptions and fears. A man is in the bus, dying. Quixote has told them that my powers can save him -- if's done before the top of the hour. Only ten or maybe eleven minutes more to go.
"How did you know to come to us?" I ask Quixote, as my mouth goes dry. I don't know anything about a 'progressive aging syndrome' and I have no idea if it's even something I can cure, but Quixote seems to think I can. She seems to think I'm the only hope he has. I hate to see anyone die, especially a 'brilliant doctor and loyal friend.' Rome's only family.
Then again, Quixote is a child. No more than ten years old, maybe less. Could she be mistaken about the urgency, or the lack of other possible means of aid?
"Tess?" I ask quietly, although Quixote and Zeus haven't yet answersed my question. "You were in the bus. This man ... is it true?" We're rapidly running out of time and I know I have to act quickly. I healed Liz because she was dying. I healed Kyle for the same reason, but I was amoung friends then, even the Sheriff had proven himself a friend. These are strangers who seem to know all about me...
I can't even imagine where they're supposed to be from, where nobody lives past thirty. Hart is only 18, but he's a brilliant doctor? Can this possibly be true? It's far too elaborate an unbelieveable to be a story spun as a trap. Is it so outrageous that it has to be the truth?
