~*Destin, Florida*~

Liz sat in a lounge chair, soaking up some mid-morning sun. She sighed as she tried to relax. She'd been in Florida for almost a month now and still, no matter what she did, the only thing she could think about was the whole 'Destiny' fiasco she'd left behind in Roswell. Finally she reached over into her bag and pulled out her cell phone and dialed the number to the Crashdown. After a few rings, a familiar voice answered.

"Crashdown Cafe, This is Maria"

Liz smiled at the sound of her best friends voice "Hey!" Liz cheerfully replied into the phone, waiting for Marias reponse.

"OMG! Liz! Hi! How are you? Hows Florida?? Have you met any cute guys yet? C'Mon girl! Details!!!"

Liz laughed at Marias hyperness, "I'm fine, Maria.. and no, no guys"

A small groan came from Maria "Honey, you left Max... why aren't you window shopping for someone else??"

Liz sighed, she knew Maria was right. She had walked away from Max, so why did she feel guilty about this? She'd been asked out at least a dozen times, and she'd turned them all down. "I dunno, Maria, it just doesn't feel right, like I'm cheating on Max or something. And before you say it.. I know, I gotta get over that"

Maria sighed "So, how many have you turned down?" Maria always knew what Liz was thinking.

"I'm not sure... Eleven, Twelve??" Liz could hear Maria gasp and took the phone away from her ear a little, preparing herself for Marias reaction.

"Are you *CRAZY?!* Liz, c'mon! Ok, promise something! Next guy that asks you out, under the age of 25, and over the age of 17, you'll say yes! Promise!"

Liz hesitated, going over in her mind the possibilites of what could happen because of this promise. She was snapped back into reality by Maria pressuring her to promise. She sighed. She knew she would never get Maria off the phone unless she promised. "Ok, fine, Maria.. I promise" Maria let out a little squeal of excitement.

"Thats my girl" Maria said, causing Liz to laugh, "But I have to get back to work! I love you, have fun, be safe, call me later, and remember! You promised!"

Liz smiled and said goodbye to her friend. She put her cell phone back in the bag and grapped some tanning oil and put it on, if nothing else, she'd go home with a tan! She finally settled back in her lounge chair, put on her sunglasses, and tried to relax. She was doing a fairly good job at it too, until a group of teenagers decided to set up camp about 9 feet from where she was sitting. By the way they were talking, she could tell that they weren't from around here, New York was her guess. She tried to ignore them, and went back to her tanning. Suddenly, something caused a shadow over her face. She opened her eyes, taking a minute to let them readjust to the sunlight. Finally, she saw what was blocking the sun. It was a boy, and his back was to her. He was tall and muscular, with a pretty nice tan. He had dark hair which was spiked up and she could see part of a tattoo on his right bicep. He wasn't moving out of her sun, either. She waited a minute, hoping he would just move on his own. When that didn't happen, Liz sighed "Uhm... Excuse me?? Can you move please?"

At the sound of her voice, the guy turned around and looked down at her, letting her see his face for the first time. Liz looked up at him as he turned to face her. Her mouth dropped wide open when she saw his face. The only thing she could manage to say was "OMG...."

TBC...

I*m gonna go ahead and post the second part.. just so its a little more interesting.. be sure to tell me what you think! Also.. I have to apologize... my New York accent pretty much sucks... so, the Zan language ain*t that great...

Chapter 2

Liz stared up at this guy who had been standing in her light, unable to say anything except "OMG." The boy just stared down at her with his eyes looking her up and down before a smirk appeared on his face. Liz just couldn't believe her eyes, this guy, who was very blatently checkin gher out, looked exactly like Max. They had the same eyes, same lips, same cheekbones and jawline... only he had piercings on his face, and longer, spiked up hair. Liz had no clue what to do. Had she fallen asleep, Was this some wierd dream?? She wasn't sure.. all she knew was that she'd been staring at him for almost two minutes and still hadn't said anthing. Then she realized her mouth was still wide open. She closed her mouth and was about to attempt to say something when he started speaking.

"So.. you's gon' say sumpin? Or jus keep starin?'

Liz felt herself bluck and quickly scolded herself when she saw that smirk again, he was very clearly amused by this whole thing.

"Uhm, yeah... I'm sorry, you look so much like one of my friends, its scary... I'm Liz" She offered her hand to the Max look-alike for him to shake it and introduce himself. Instead he took her hand, bent over and kissed it, keeping his eyes focused on her sunglasses the whole time.

"Hey there, kitten, I'm Zan" He was openly flirting with her and Liz wasn't quite sure what to do next. She quickly remembered her promise to Maria and hoped this, Zan, didn't ask her out, it would just be too wierd. She looked up at him, sliding her sunglasses down her nose with her free hand, seeing as Zan didn't seem to wanna giver her the other one back.

"So, are you gonna get out of my light, or what?" Liz asked.

Zan almost melted when she pushed her sunglasses down. Her eyes bore into him, almost turning his legs to jello. He quickly looked away from her and stood up straight. No one ever verbally challenged him, He was the Man. But, he kinda liked being challenged by this girl, and he wasn't sure why, but he hoped to find out. He crossed his arms across his chest, making it known he wasn*t budging. She looked up at him, sighed, and took her sunglasses off the end of her nose, putting them on top of her head. She crossed her arms across her chest and stared him down.

"So, you're not gonna move?? Because I can move if you don't want to..."

He smirked again and looked very amused at this "Oh, I'ma move, if you's gon' lemme sit 'ere wit you a minute" Liz smiled, she couldn't help it. It had nothing to do with the fact that he looked just like Max... it was because their personalities were polar opposites. She laughed and finally said "Ok, sit down"

He casually sat down, leaning on his hands. "So, Liz, you's from 'round 'ere?" He asked. He wanted to know about her, which was totally unlike him.. there was just something about this girl.. he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"No, I'm not from around here" she answered, "I'm staying with some family, I'm from Roswell, New Mexico" His eyebrow raised.

"Ain't dat where dem aliens crashed?" He asked with another one of those smirks. She giggled. "Yeah..."

He looked at her suddenly getting very serious "Ya believe in aliens, kitten?"

She leaned into him a little, also getting very serious "Yes, Zan, I do"

He looked stunned but quicky recovered. "Aight, dats cool" She leaned back in her beach chair "I *know* you're not from around here..."

He stared out into the ocean, "Naw, New York Citys where I from"

She nodded "Come here all alone?"

He shook his head, looking back at her "No, came wit muh sista, her boy and our friend" Liz simply nodded again, looking at him with a smile, "Do they have names, or what?"

He snorted a little laugh, "Yeah.. Lonnie, Rath and Ava..." he nodded behind them in the direction of the noisemakers that had setteled in ealier "They back there"

Liz glanced in the direction he's indicated and found three very familiar faced starting back at her. Her eyes went wide, and she quickly turned around. Zan looked at her, sitting up, concerned "Whassup?" He asked.

She couldn't speak, things were getting *really* weird...

TBC...

Hey guys! I*m back with Part 3, sorry, but its a short one, so I*ll try to post another one soon. Like I said earlier, Genevieves proofreading my chapters for me, so I don*t wanna give her too much to do. Thats sooo much for all the feedback, I really appreciate it. Once again, I apologize for this chapter being so short....

Ok, onto your Feature Presentation:


Part Three

Liz didn't know what to say to Zan, she couldn't even form words at the moment. She had to be dreaming! The three people Zan was with were like punked out duplicates of Michael, Isabel and Tess. Her thoughts were broken by Zan's voice,

"Yo, 'dey ain't as bad as 'dey look"

Liz looked over at Zan and managed a smile. She'd definitely have to talk to Maria and Alex about this. "How long are you guys going to be down here for?" She tried to make conversation, surprised she actually found her voice.

Zan shrugged his shoulders "I guess 'til we's get sick'a bein here'

Liz nodded, reaching into her bag and pulling out her phone. She looked at the time. It was almost noon and she'd promised her cousin a shopping trip... they were supposed to have left for it already! "Oh, geez, I gotta go" Liz said starting to gather her stuff. She glanced over at Zan, looking into his eyes. Was there a little disappointment showing in them? "I'm sorry, its just, I promised my cousin I'd go shopping with her, and I'm late." She stood up, slipping on a little jean skirt.

Zan stared up at her from his spot in the sand, looking her up and down. Liz blushed, she really had to stop doing that because it amused the hell out of Zan.

"So, uh" he said, slowing getting up and stepping closer to her. Same height as Max she thought. "You wan' go do sumpin wit me lata... afta dis shoppin thang?"

Liz looked down and grabbed her bag then looked back at him, she couldn't... not smile. "Maybe..."

Zan wasn't sure what to do, girls always said yes to him. "Maybe?" He repeated. He slowly nodded, "Aight, well, if you decide you's wan' do sumpin... meet me at 8"

Liz stood there for a minute, waiting for him to elaborate where to meet him. When he didn't, she finally said "Meet you?? Where?"

He smiled "Right here, kitten."

"Right here?" She asked, knowing she was going to end up here at 8. She had to find out if Zan and Max were somehow connected. He simply nodded in reply.

She cocked her head to the side a little, "Why do you call me 'kitten'?" She couldn't help but smile saying it. He didn't look like someone who gave girls little pet names.

He shrugged "Dunno, fits ya... gotta problem wit it?" Liz shook her head, she actually really liked it. He smirked again. God, that was sooo cute! Liz thought. "Aight, kitten" he said, causing her to giggle a little "Maybe I's gon' see ya lata... and uh, wear sumpin real hot tonight" He bent down and kissed her on the cheek, causing Liz to blush uncontrolably.

When he stood back up, Liz reached up and grabbed her sunglasses off her head, putting them over her eyes. She turned and started to walk back to where she'd parked the car her aunt and uncle had given her to use. She could feel Zan's eyes on her the whole time. She reached into her bag, grabbing her keys and her cell phone. She *had* to tell Maria about this....

TBC...

Hey guys... due to the fact that I won*t be able to check in all weekend, I thought I*d be nice and post part 4... Gen didn*t proofread this... so any errors are all my fault! Enjoy!


Part 4

Liz reached her car, a new, bright blue For Mustang Convertible and smiled at it. She was quickly falling in love with this car, and she thanked heaven her cousin still had a few months before she got her license. Liz slid into the drivers seat and started the car. She set her cell phone in her lap and eased onto the street. It would only take five minutes to get to her destination, but she couldn't wait that long to tell Maria what had happened. She pushed the redial button on her cell, but this time her dad answered. She smiled at the sound of his voice. "Hey dad"

"Lizzie! Oh honey!" She couldn't stop herself from smiling. She could picture her dad right now, could visualize his facial _expression "Liz, hows Florida? Are you having fun?"

"Yes, dad, I'm having an amazing time, going to the beach, getting some sun, going shopping... the weathers a little problem, it gets SO hot here!" Liz knew it got hot in Roswell too, but she had to make conversation with her dad before she asked for Maria, otherwise he'd get all upset.

Jeff Parker smiled, he as so glad his little girl was having a good time. She'd been so upset before she left. He knew it had something to do with that Max Evans kid. Jeff frowned, when as if on cue, Max walked through the door, followed closely by his sister, the guy with the hair, and a little blond girl. Jeff walked into the back room. "You're being careful, right?"

Liz sighed "Yes, dad, I promise"

"OK," Jeff said, "You didn't pierce or tattoo anything did you?"

Liz smiled "Nope... not yet"

"YET!?" Jeff exclaimed. He still didn't like facing the fact that his little girl was all grown up.

Liz laughed "Calm down dad, I*m fine!" Before Jeff could say anything else, Liz added "Can I talk to Maria? I'll only be a minute"

"Sure sweetie, let me get her" Jeff peeked his head out the door into the dining area. He spotted Maria at the soda machine "Maria" he help up the phone "Liz wants to talk to you, I'll finish those drinks"

Maria excitedly hurried over and took the phone from Jeff, sitting down at the nearest table, turning so Max couldn't*t hear her talking as he was not-so-subtly ease dropping from his table a few feet away. "Whats goin on?" Maria said into the phone, glancing over her shoulder at Max, who was staring at her, as if she'd suddenly invite him over to listen in. She turned back around waiting for Liz to answer.

"Well...." Liz started, "I got a date tonight"

Maria made an excited little squealing noise "Details!! How old? Wheres he from? Whats his name?"

Liz wasn't quite sure where to start, so she started with the obvious "His name is Zan..."

"Cute name" Maria interjected, "Continue..."

"Hes from New York City"

"Accent?" Maria asked

"Yeah, a cute one" the thought of it made Liz smile

"Nice..." Maria smiled also

"Well, hes down here with his sister, his sisters boyfriend and their friend... their names are Lonnie, Rath and Ava"

Maria snorted a laugh "Right, weird, but whatever! So... whats he look like?!"

Liz could hear the excitement in Maria's voice. Liz stuttered a little trying to explain but ended up blurting out "Just like Max!"

"WHAT?!" Maria screamed standing up from her chair. Max was at her side in a second asking what was wrong. She gave him the 'Talk to the Hand' gesture and walked into the back room "Like... identical??"

Liz sighed, "Pretty much... except Zan has longer hair, and its spiked up.. and he has tattoos and piercings"

"Huh.." Maria started "Sounds hot"

Liz still have one more shocker "One other thing..."

"What??...." Maria asked, a little scared.

Liz took a deep breathe "Ya know how I said he was down here with his sister and two friends?...Well, they just happen to be punked out versions of Michael, Isabel and Tess...:

Maria was dumbfounded "Liz... thats crazy!"

"I know Maria, but its true!" Liz pulled into the front of the condo complex her uncle and aunt owned and turned off the car.

Finally Maria said "So, this Zan, guy.... looks just like Max and you're going out with him?"

Liz knew how crazy it was, but she had too "Yes, I have to find out if him and Max are linked somehow, but right now, I gotta go, I promised Emily I'd go shopping with her and I have to take a shower"

Maria sighed "Fine, call me after your date.. I want all the details and please be careful!"

Liz promised and said goodbye. Luckily the condo above her aunt and uncles was vacant, and they were all furnished, so thats where she was staying. She quickly showered and got ready for the shopping adventure. She couldn't wait until 8 PM.

Ok... Tuesday posted a little tiny part.. but it was something new, nonetheless... so I*m keeping my end of the deal.. heres Part 5.. hope you like it!

*Zan comes running by naked screaming 'I LOVE TUESDAY!'* (Hows that for ya?? )

Ok.. I*ma shut up now!

Part 5:

Liz walked around the racks of clothing trying to find something 'hot' to wear tonight, as Zan had put it. Emily, Liz's cousin, may only be 15, but she knew what was in style. She'd dragged Liz through a million different stores, all of them carrying the latest clothes. Liz just couldn't find anything she could see herself wearing... all the jeans sat too low on her hips, the skirts were all too short to cover anything... and all the shirts were tiny pieces of fabric she couldn't even figure out how to put on! She heard Emily's voice call her name from the other side of the store and started walking in that direction. Emily was standing in front of a dressing room, motioning for Liz to go in. Liz looked at her questioning her. Emily rolled her eyes "Trust me! Get in there! I picked you out something 'hot' for your date!"

Emily looked excited about the selection she'd made so Liz went into the dressing room. She closed the door and looked at the outfit. Her eyes went wide. "No Way, Em! I'm not putting that on!"

Emily groaned "C'mon! Just try it on! I promise, you'll love it. It'll make you feel sexy!"

"EMILY!!!" Liz squealed, but then sighed "Fine.. I'll try it on... that's all!"

A few minutes later, Liz emerged from the dressing room and looked for Emily, spotting her a few feet away looking at shoes. "Em... this isn't gonna happen!"

Emily turned and looked at Liz, she looked amazing! She had on a pair of low hip-huggers that were tight in all the right places and the shirt!! Emily didn't care what Liz said! She was buying that shirt! The shirt was light pink. It was like a bikini top, it tied in the back like normal, but the fabric that went around her neck was a thicker piece of fabric. It went around her neck, then came down to criss-cross between her shoulder blades, crossed right above her bellybutton and then tied in back. She looked HOT! And Emily could tell by the way the guys in the store were staring, they thought so too!

Emily smiled "That's the outfit!"

Liz shook her head "NO WAY!"

Suddenly a guy walked up to them and goes "Excuse Me? Do you have plans tonight?" looking at Liz.

She couldn't hold back a smile, maybe this *was* the outfit. "I'm sorry, but I have a date tonight" Liz replied, trying to be as polite as possible.

The guy nodded "I'm not surprised, you're beautiful, but I had to ask" He turned and walked away and Liz went back into the dressing room, reemerging in her regular clothes.

"Well?!...." Emily asked, anxious to find out if Liz was gonna but the outfit.

Liz smiled "Yeah, I'm buying it"

Emily jumped up and down, excited that she'd found a winner. Liz bought the clothes and they headed back to the condo. Emily glanced over at Liz 'So, uhm... last I heard, you had a boyfriend..."

Liz looked at Emily, shocked she knew anything about Max. "Family been gossiping?"

Emily smiled and gave a little nod. "Did you guys break up?"

Liz just nodded.

Emily turned in her seat to face Liz, anxious to hear the details "What happened??"

Liz stared at the road in front of her "He found out he belonged with someone else, and her name is Tess, before you ask" Liz glanced at Emily and smiled.

Emily smiled back "Do you have a picture of him?"

Liz nodded "Yeah, in my wallet." Liz parked the car just as Emily found the picture. It was a group picture of them at the Crashdown one night... all of them were there... Max, Michael, Isabel, Tess, her, Maria, Alex and Kyle. Liz pointed out Max and told her who everyone else was.

"He's cute," Emily said, still looking at the picture "But, Tess right? She kinda looks like a duck... and what kinda name is Tess, anyway?!"

Liz laughed as she got outta the car and grabbed her stuff. "C'mon, you can help me get ready"

Emily looked puzzled, "Liz.. its only 4:30..."

Liz looked at Emily, "I wanna look 'hot'.. this may take awhile!" Emily laughed as they walked into Liz's condo. Liz looked at the clock on the wall when she walked in. Emily was right.. it was only 4:30... the time was going sooo slow!!! She pushed that out of her mind, told Emily to get comfortable, and went to get in the shower. She wished it was just 8 already....

TBC.....

Went ahead and decided to post Part 6... cause I had nothing better to do! *lol* As always... lemme know what you think!! Enjoy!


Part 6


Liz took one more look in the mirror. She couldn't believe she'd bought this shirt! Her dad would *die* if he saw her right now. She had to admit, she did look hot. Her hair was down, and curled at the ends. Emily had, as she put it, 'volumized' it... Liz thought it was a little too poofy, but she didn't want to mess with it. Her makeup looked perfect, a little blush to make her cheeks nice and pink. A little eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara to make her eyes stand out, and a little lip gloss to make her lips look nice and kissable. She couldn't believe she was thinking like this! Emily's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Liz! Did you find any shoes yet?"

Liz snapped out of the daydream she was in and looked over at Emily, "No, none of my shoes go with this." Liz pouted until she saw that Emily had a huge smile on her face. Emily had her hands behind her back. Liz looked at her suspiciously. Emily showed her what she was hiding, a pair of pink high-heeled boots.

Liz let out a little squeal, "Em! Are those yours?!"

Emily nodded, "Yep, their Manolo Blahnik.. with Gucci print.. so, please try not to get 'em too dirty..."
Liz laughed "I promise, I'll take really good care of them." Liz put em on and stood in front of Emily, doing a little turn "Well?"

Emily glanced down at her watch "You look amazing, but you gotta go.. its 8!"

Liz almost lost it! She grabbed her purse, threw in her lip gloss, cell phone and wallet. Grabbed her keys off the coffee table and ran out the door. She made a mad dash for the car, which was a lot harder then normal in the shoes she had on. When she reached the car she screamed, "Thanks Em! I owe you big time!"

She jumped in the car, started it and took off. She knew she'd be kicking herself in the ass for the rest of her life if she didn't find out why this kid looked exactly like Max. She drove as fast as she thought she could get away with. She made it to the beach in record time. She turned off the car, and for the first time, she realized how nervous she was. I have butterflies! What is wrong with me?! She thought as she took one last look in the rearview mirror, checking her makeup. Then she adjusted her shirt, grabbed her purse, and got out of the car. She started walking down to the beach, the sun was just beginning to set, and she could see Zan, sitting in the lounge chair Liz had been sitting in earlier.

She stopped about 3 feet behind him and just looked at him. He was staring at the sunset, deep in thought. She smiled, wondering what he was thinking about. He suddenly stood up, as if to leave, then turned and saw Liz.

He couldn't believe she actually showed up, or how incredible she looked. He smiled at her, and she smiled back as he slowly looked her up and down. He moved closer to her, wrapping his arms around her waist, bending down to kiss her on the cheek and whisper in her ear "You's lookin hot, kitten"

Liz started blushing, pulling away just enough so she could look him over. He was wearing black worn-in boots, black cargo pants, and a black t-shirt with the sleeves torn off.

She took a second before she replied, "You don't look so bad yourself, Sparky."

He took a step back and gave her a sideways look, "'Scuse Me? Sparky?!"

She couldn't help laughing, the way he said it was too cute. "It fits you"

He just nodded, walking behind her, once again wrapping his arms around her waist, pulling her in close to him. She could feel him lean down and smell her hair. That caused more butterflies, and even a little chill to go through her. "Whateva you say, baby"

More butterflies?! She thought, Just at something he said?! She couldn't help it though, Zan was soo charming. She did a 180 in his arms, facing him "So... what're we doing tonight?" She was curious as to what he could possibly have in store for her.

He just smirked "I got a little sumptin planned, but its a surprise... got sum wheels?"

Liz gave him a sideways glance, and apprehensively said "Yeah..."

He smiled "Epic, Lets get this show on tha road.. and I'm drivin!"

And Now.. You*re Feature Presentation!


Part Seven-A week Later...

Liz rolled over in bed and glanced at the clock, it was almost 9 AM. She didn't know why she got up so early, she just.. couldn't make herself sleep in and enjoy the summer. She groaned and threw the covers off of her then walked to the bathroom and began brushing her teeth. Her thoughts quickly turned to Zan. She found herself thinking about him a lot. She wondered what he was doing right now. She smiled as she remembered their first date. It was so cute... Zan had insisted on driving the Mustang, even though Liz argued as best she could. He ended up winning the argument, and he drove her to a little cliff overlooking the ocean. They sat there and watched the sunset together. After that, he took her to a carnival that was in town and they walked around all night talking. She still didn't know too much about him.. he wasn't one to openly share stuff. She finally got out of him that he lived with Lonnie, Ava and Rath. They didn't have any parents, and they'd lived in New York City all their lives. She'd asked him about his tattoos. She knew they were somehow alien related, because she'd seen some of those symbols before. He simply said that Lonnie drew a lot, and she'd drawn these and he thought they were cool. After about an hour of walking around, the carnival had a fireworks show and Zan took her to go watch them. He was so sweet that night. He even got her a little stuffed animal.. a pink CareBear with 2 hearts on his stomach, cause Liz admitted that she loved the CareBears when she was little.

Just then her thoughts were interrupted by someone knocking at the front door. She was still brushing her teeth as she opened the door. She was a little shocked to see Zan leaning against the doorway, smirking.

"Whassup, kitten?"

He kissed her on the cheek and let himself in. She walked to the bathroom and finished brushing her teeth. She decided she needed to put some more clothing on since she was wearing next-to-nothing... just a tiny tank top and some boy-short underwear. She walked in her bedroom and was surprised to find Zan laying on her bed. At least he took his boots off, she thought.

She walked a little closer to him "What do you think you're doing?" She asked, putting her hands on her hips, trying to show him a little attitude. He did look hot though, wearing a tight white tank top, showing off his tattoos and those black cargo pants that he looked hot in. She felt her breath catch in her throat. He was all stretched out on the bed, with his arms behind his head.

He smirked at her, "Gettin da lay'a da land"

She giggled and sat on the side of the bed, facing him. They were officially going out. He'd asked her to be his girl a few nights ago. She still had no clue if he and Max were connected, and she really didn't care anymore. Max and Zan were two totally different people and she liked Zan for who he was.

Zan reached out and pulled her on top of him, capturing her lips in a kiss. Liz brought her arms up around his neck and pulled him as close as she could. God, she loved his kisses. They weren't like Max's. When Zan kissed her, she could feel his desire and his want for her. Max's kisses were always more tender, and loving.

He rolled her onto her back, and took off his tank top. She smiled. He hated wearing shirts. He walked around almost all day without a shirt on. She didn't mind at all, his half naked body was very easy on the eyes. He laid back down next to her, crushing her lips against hers. The kiss grew more passionate by the second. She felt his hands running over her body. They started at her knees, slowly teasing their way up her thighs, up her stomach, over her breasts and into her hair. She scrapped her nails down his back. Things were getting kind of heavy when there was a knock at the door. The broke apart and looked at each other. Liz started to climb over him, but stopped when she was straddling him. She bent down and gave him one more kiss.

"I'm gonna get rid of whoever that is... do not move!"

He smirked, as usual.. She still couldn't believe how sexy that was. "Aight kitten, I'ma be waitin fo' ya"

She finished climbing over him and starting walking toward the door. She was almost out of his reach when Zan leaned over and slapped her on the ass.

She whirled around and Zan had to laugh at the surprised look on her face. She started laughing too, and continued walking to the door. She was still giggling a little when she opened the door, but she immediately shut up upon seeing who was on the other side. There stood Maria, Alex, Kyle, Max, Isabel, Michael and Tess.

TBC...

Soo?!?!? Whatcha think?? Lemme know!

Hey guys! I know you*re all really mad that I left the fic the way I did... so heres another part for you... I know, its really short, I*m sorry....


Part Eight

Liz almost fell over, she had to lean on the door for support. What the hell are they doing here?! Oh my God, and Zan's in the other room!!!! She thought frantically. She glanced behind her and saw that Zan had stayed in the bedroom like she asked, for now at least. She knew the way she looked was a dead give-away as to what she had been doing. Her lips were all red and puffy, and her hair was a total mess. She glanced at everyone in the group, they were all looking at her, waiting for her to say something. Max looked like he was ready to kill someone. She finally found her words "Uhm.. Hi.. What're you guys doing here?"

Kyle was the first to chime in, "Bad time? We can come back..."

Before she could respond Max firmly said, "We're not leaving"

She didn't expect this. She closed the door a little, hoping Zan couldn't hear what was going on and come out to investigate. She wouldn't even know where to begin with an explanation. "I, uhm, wish you guys would have called first."

Maria looked at her apologetically, "We wanted to surprise you..."

All of a sudden, from inside, she heard, "Hey, Kitten! Getcha ass back in 'ere"

She turned to look inside. Zan was still in the bedroom, but they had all heard him. "I'm sorry guys, this is a really bad time"

"Yeah, I bet.." Max said, his voice as cold as ice.

Liz got on the defense real fast, coming back with "Why are you even here?? We're ex, remember?"

A look of hurt crossed Max's face, while a look of surprise crossed everyone else's. Just then, an arm slipped around Liz's waist and Zan opened the door to see who was there. Maria, Alex and Kyle, who knew about Zan and the fact that he looked like Max, were in awe. Liz wasn't kidding, they were identical. Max, Michael, Isabel and Tess were in shock. Max and Zan had their eyes locked on each other. Liz looked back and forth at them. "Uhm... Guys, This is Zan, Zan.. these are my friends."

Max was the first to speak, "I think we all need to have a little chat"

Part Nine

A few minutes later, they were all in the living room. Liz dragged Maria, Alex and Kyle into her bedroom and began pacing. "What the hell am I gonna do?!" She stopped and looked at them for an answer that would fix all of this.

"Well...." Maria said "If I were you... I'd put some more clothes on..."

Liz looked down, "Oh shit..." She ran into the closet and threw on a pair of jeans and a hoodie. She emerged from the closet fixing her hair and looked at her friends, "OK.. now what?"

They looked at each other, then Alex spoke up "Maybe we should separate them?"

Liz didn't know how good of an idea that was...she started pacing again.

"I think we should probably get back out there..." Kyle said.

Liz sighed, "Yeah. You guys gotta help me keep everyone calm." They nodded and followed Liz into the living room. Max, Isabel, Michael and Tess were all sitting on one couch looking at Zan, who was slouched down on another couch. Liz stood looking at everyone, trying to figure out what they were all thinking. Maria came up next to her and slipped her arm around Liz's waist, giving her a little squeeze and a smile. Kyle and Alex stood behind them, waiting to play referee.

Zan looked at Liz "Yo, Kitten, who'da fuck are des guys?"

They all looked at Liz. "Well..." she started pointing at everyone as she spoke "This is my best friend, Maria, my other best friend, Alex, my ex-boyfriend-turned good friend Kyle..." She looked at the Pod Squad. This is gonna be hard to explain she thought, trying to find the best way to say it. "And, thats Michael, Marias ex-boyfriend, Tess, shes Isabels friend, Isabel, is Max's sister... and thats Max, my ex-boyfriend" Zan looked at her, Liz couldn't figure out how mad he was, but she was definatly scared he was gonna freak out on her. He simply nodded his head, glacing at everyone. Finally Isabel broke the silence, glancing at Liz "And he is...?" pointing at Zan.

Liz stuttered a little before finally spitting out "He is Zan... and hes my boyfriend"

At that, Max stood up and walked to Liz. He grabbed a hold of her arm and started pulling her in the direction of the bedroom "We need to have a little talk."

Zan stood up ready to fight, and Liz could tell it wouldn't be pretty. She yanked her arm free from Max's grip and looked at Zan, "No, its ok, baby. I'll be back in a second." She looked at Maria, mouthing 'Help me out!', then followed Max into the bedroom and closed the door. When she turned around, Max was basically standing on top of her. "You're going out with him?!" Max was pissed, to say the very least.

Liz was also getting pretty pissed. They were broken up, he had no right! Liz stood as tall as she could and looked him directly in the eyes, "Yeah, Zan's my boyfriend." She crossed her arms across her chest and stood her ground. Max was not going to run her life anymore.

Max bent down, his face only inches from hers, "I forbid it."

Liz was in total shock! Did he *just* say that?! Her fists clenched, she was so mad she thought she was going to cry. She finally found her words, and she knew it was going to hurt him, but at that moment, she didn't care. "Max, listen to me very closely. You cannot forbid me to do anything. I can date whomever I want. I may not know everything about Zan, but I know he makes me happy. He hasn't caused me any of the pain that you cause me on a regular basis. He's the reason that I'm not miserable right now. You do realize that we're broken up, right? Do you remember that? I can date whomever I want, and feel no guilt about it." He began to say something and she cut him off, "Don't think I don't know whats about to come out of your mouth. Was it something along the lines of 'And he just happens to look just like me'?" Max nodded, his jaw tense. Liz didn't back down. "Well... all I can say about that is, that when I agreed to go out with him the first time, I did it to find out if you and him were connected in any way... and then I got to know him... and thats why we're together. It has nothing to do with the fact that you look alike.. it has to do with the fact that he is almost nothing like you"

With that, Liz opened the bedroom door and went into the living room. There was no sign of Zan, and she started to freak out. Oh my God, they killed him, didn't they?! She thought, until she finally spotted him in the kitchen. Max finally came out of the bedroom and took his seat back on the couch. Everyone watched Liz as she walked into the kitchen. Zan turned to her, taking her in his arms and giving her a soft kiss as she put her arms around his neck. When the kiss ended, they leaned their foreheads together, looking into each other's eyes. "Are you mad at me?" Liz asked

Zan kissed her forehead, taking her face in his hands "No, I ain't mad... but we's definatly gotta have a little chat real quick" Liz nodded and backed away from him a little, causing him to cross his arms across his chest, she was so scared she was gonna loose him, and she couldn't blame him at all if he just walked away from the whole thing. Zan sighed "So.. why you dating me if I'm like dudes long-lost twin or whatever?" She looked at the floor "Well.. at first, I agreed to go out with you because I wanted to find out if you and him were somehow connected" She looked up, seeing the confused look on his face, and elaborated "Him and Isabel were adopted. And then I got to know you... and I kinda... fell in love with who you are, and.. I didn't wanna let you go. I know I should have told you, but theres never really a right time to bring that up in conversation. I'm really sorry, Sparky" Zan smirked, as much as any guy would hate to have a dumb nickname like that.. he liked it, and everything about her. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her in tight "Its all good, sweets, I can't be mad atcha... but Whassup? What we gon' do now?"

She sighed "Uhm.. I think you should go get Lonnie, Rath and Ava. We all need to have a chat." Zan nodded, going into the bedroom to put the rest of his clothes on. He came out fixing his tank top, and gave Liz a quick kiss. Liz handed him the keys to the Mustang, "Be careful with it, Sparky, Emily will KILL me if anything happens to it!"

He smiled "No worries, babe, it'll be aight" He walked out the door closing it behind him. Liz looked at the Pod Squad. They looked pissed.

Tess spoke for the first time, "Sparky?"

Liz gave her a death look "Yeah, I said Sparky... what?" Tess literally sat back at that comment, Liz had never really liked Tess... but was always semi-nice.

Tess stuttered for words "Nothing... its just..."

Liz cut her off "Its just what?! What the fuck are you even doing here?! Oh, thats right.. Max is here.. so you gotta follow him around like you're a damn puppy in heat!"

Alex and Kyle both put their hands over their mouths to hide the smile, while Maria merely uttered 'Amen'

Isabel was the next to attempt conversation "You didn't think it was wierd that there was a Max double out there? Why didn't you tell us?"

Liz rubbed her face with her hands "Maybe because I came down here to get you people out of my life. With that said.. it is MY LIFE!!!! Why you guys think you need to know every single detail of it is completely beyond me!" Liz was a little suprised at herself. She'd never been this rude to anyone in her whole life... but geez! They showed up at the worst time! Did Max have a little radar that sensed she was about to enjoy herself so he had to rush over with the whole posse to break it up. She snorted a little laugh at the words her mind used to describe the situation.

Michael made one last effort to talk to her "So... are there any details you'd care to share?"

Liz looked at him, "Not really! Zan'll be back in a few minutes with Lonnie, Ava and Rath. We'll all discuss it then."

They all looked confused, but it was Tess who said something first, "Who??"

Liz just smirked at her, "You'll see...."

TBC...

I*d just like to say that... I added alot of stuff to this just now.. so if some stuff doesn*t makes sense.. its all me! Gen proofread, but then I added things. I just went back and fixed a few little things... so hopefully its all good now. *lol* And I used a few of you guys' comments in there... couldn't help myself, they were too funny not to use! Hope you liked it.. Lemme know!!!

Part Ten

The Pod Squad was still sitting on the couch, discussing the sudden, odd change of events and trying to figure out their next move. Kyle and Alex were sitting on the floor in front of the TV playing 'Cruisin' USA' on the Nintendo 64 and yelling incomprehendable things at the screen when they got mad. And Liz and Maria were sitting on the kitchen counter, eating ice cream and gossiping. Liz told Maria every last detail about her week with Zan, and Maria told her that there was nothing new going on in Roswell. "So, Zan went to get the Michael, Isabel and Tess doubles?" Maria asked, shoving another spoonful of ice cream in her mouth.

Liz nodded, swallowing the spoonful in her mouth. "Total honesty... What'd you think?"

Maria smiled as she picked at the ice cream with her spoon, "Well... he looks just like Max.. makes you just as happy as Max once did... with none of the pain.. so far, I like him"

Liz looked at her and smiled. Her smile quickly faded when she heard a knock at the front door. Liz jumped off the counter and started walking towards the door with Maria on her heels. Liz turned and mumbled, "Prepare for World War Three."

Everyone in the living room stood up, anxious to see who Zan had brought over, since they'd all been left in the dark. Liz opened the door and there they all stood. She had only met them once and wasn't real sure if they liked her, so she was quick with her hellos.

Rath spoke up first "Whassup? Why'da fucked we haveta rush ova 'ere? I gots shit ta do"

Liz looked him in the eyes, even though he intimidated her. "I think you guys should come in, we need to talk"

Rath opened his mouth to argue what was going on, but Zan shot him a look and Rath shut up. Zan stepped through the doorway, gave Liz a kiss, and then stood behind her, sliding his arms around her waist. Zan glanced over at Max, who looked like he was about to explode. Zan couldn't help but smirk. Max was about to challenge him when Lonnie, Rath and Ava stepped inside. Everyone just glanced from person to person, none quite sure what to say, or what was going on. Liz shut the door and made some quick introductions. She went into the kitchen to get drinks for Lonnie, Rath and Ava, and Zan followed her. He picked out the drinks they would want and then looked at Liz, "Yo, kitten, I think dis gon' get wicked nasty real quick"

"Yeah, it probably will." She thought for a second, "I'll grab Maria, Alex and Kyle and take them into my room so you eight can figure this out, ok?"

Zan nodded, "Sounds good"

Liz stretched on her tip toes and gave him a kiss, "Promise me... no fighting in here, no matter what! Promise?"

Zan pulled her tight and kissed the top of her head. "Promise," he said before pulling away and grabbing the sodas and walking back into the living room.

Liz walked in behind him, "Maria, Kyle, Alex... can I see you guys in my bedroom, please?"

They got up and started walking towards the bedroom. Liz gave Zan another quick kiss on the cheek, whispering, "You promised," before turning and going into the bedroom. Once they were all in, they kept the door open slightly so they could hear what was going on. They all took a seat on the floor... just waiting for the shit to hit the fan.
