Natalie36 Thanks!
Part 23 Roswell Present
Serena knocked on Liz's bedroom door before entering. She saw that Liz was sleeping on her bed. So she went over to the window and climbed out. She sat on one of the lounge chairs and let tears fall from her eyes. She almost never cried. But when her mind shifted back to her life in Antar she couldn't help it sometimes. They all had been happy for the most part. Well Rath and Trina never got along well. But they both understood that the other cared deeply about their young King and Queen. She was lost in thought and didn't hear Liz come out.
"You OK Rena?"
Serena jumped at Liz's voice.
"Sorry didn't mean to scare you." Said Liz
"It's OK."
"What is wrong?"
"I just don't know what to do. I mean I tell you to talk with Max and fix your relationship. But I am scared to talk with Kyle and try and get to know him."
"Well, you need too."
"I know. When are you going to talk with Max?"
"I'm going to call him in a few minutes and ask him to come over. Mom doesn't want me to go out alone with Tess running around."
"Well until you get better control over your powers it would be a good idea to stay away from her."
"Tess is Kivar's sister right?"
"Yes on Antar her name was Tessanava. She was crazy then and hated Elexa."
"Why?"
"Well, Tess was obsessed with Zan. Elexa was also a very powerful princess before becoming queen."
"Wow. I mean I still don't remember a lot. But I seem to remember that Trina and Rath didn't get along very well."
"No they didn't. It seems that my relationship with Michael will be much the same way."
"Maybe it doesn't have to be."
"Liz, Michael doesn't like me."
"Rena, he just doesn't trust very easy. His foster father use to abuse him."
"I am aware of that. Kal has kept an eye on things. In fact that man that found you and Max after you found the orb. He works for Kal, he came from Antar after we did. That man is a shapeshifter. I call him Tic Tac. Don't know his real name."
"Why do you call him Tic Tac?"
"He eats Tic Tacs after he shape shifts. Kal said it has something to do with his blood sugar or something."
"Does mom know him?"
"No idea."
"After I talk with Max, I do want you to help me some more with my powers."
"You got it."
********
Max walked into the Crashdown and smiled when he saw Liz waiting for him.
"I'm glad you called." Said Max
"Let's go upstairs."
"OK."
Max and Liz went upstairs unaware that they were being watched. Once they reached the apartment they sat down on the sofa.
"Max, I know that you want us to go right back where we were before Tess showed up."
"Why can't we?"
"I think we need to slow things down. I'm not saying that we can't date. I actually want to date you."
"But?"
"But, we can't be that intense right now. More then once I was ready to give in to my hormones and have sex with you. But the thing is I know I am not really ready for that. I don't think you are either."
"Liz, we can slow down."
"Good."
"Liz, we now know that we are the same so it is possible for us to be together like that. Nothing bad will happen. But I understand that you aren't ready for that step. I don't think I am either."
"Uh Max, I got Serena to explain what she knows about the bonding to me."
"What did she tell you?"
"That it can only happen at the loss of our virginity. It happens when a connection opens between the couple as the man breaks the woman hyman."
"And since we already have a connection that may not be active all the time, it is still there so we would bond the first time we make love."
"Yeah."
"I get it. So Miss Parker will you go out on a date with me tomorrow?"
"Sure."
"That's great."
"Max, it will be just dinner. No making out."
"Sure."
Max leaned down and kissed her. Liz kissed him back feeling the pull of their connection. When the kiss broke Max smiled at her.
"You got a flash?" Asked Liz
"Yeah. Zan and Elexa's first kiss in the palace garden."
"They really loved each other. Max, there is something I should tell you."
"What is it?"
"That message in the cave from the orbs."
"Yeah what about it?"
"It wasn't real. The orbs don't work like that. They are just walkie talkies according to my mom."
"So it was a mind warp?"
"Yeah. Max if you are willing to trust her Serena will remove any mind warps from you."
"I will think about it. I am not sure that I want her in my head."
"Max, I understand that. I think everyone should let her help them."
"Michael won't do it. I am not sure about Isabel."
"Well Michael and Serena didn't get along very well on Antar either."
"You got a lot of your memory back?"
"Just some of it. I know that Serena remembers our deaths."
"She say anything about it?"
"No. Max, I don't think that she likes to think about it."
"I'm sure she doesn't."
"Max, I think that you should go now. I really need to work on getting to know my sister."
"Sure. Love you Liz Parker."
"Love you too."
Max kissed Liz again and headed out. Liz went to find Serena.
