He reached over and took Tess’s bag from her hand and threw it in after his. <br>“Get in already, we ain’t got all day,” shouted Rath. “I wanna get the hell out of this freaky berg and back to the real world. Tess climbed in the car, and Max hung back, waiting for Ava.<br>“There’s no room,” she said.<br>“What! What you talking about bitch? There’s plenty of room!” Rath shouted. “Now get in the freakin car and let’s get the hell out of here!”<br>“No, I’m not goin’,” Ava said, firmly.<br>“Don’t give me none of your crap,” said Rath, climbing out of the car and coming around to the passenger side. “I said we’re leaving, now get in the car and let’s get the hell out of this stinkin Mayberry, piece of shit, town!”<br>“Cool it Rath,” Ava said, calmly. “I said I’m not goin, and I’m not. You don’t need me, you never did.”<br>“Forget her Rath,” said Lonnie from the car. “If she wants to stay, let her stay. We got what we need.”<br><br> Ava watched as Rath stormed back to the driver’s side of the car and got in. Max quickly climbed in the backseat, while Rath revved the engine. The tires squealed and the car peeled off down the street. Ava waited until the car was out of site and turned on her heel and walked back toward the center of town. She had walked only about two blocks when a car pulled up beside her.<br>“Ava!” a voice shouted from the car. She peered into the car and saw Kyle Valenti sitting in the driver’s seat.<br>“Hey,” she said<br>“Hey back,” said Kyle. “Max told me to be on the lookout for you tonight. We have a place set up for you to stay tonight. Come on, get in.” Ava looked at Kyle distrustfully, but finally gave in and climbed into the car wearily.<br><br> “Thanks,” she said, leaning her head back against the headrest. “I was beat. That took a lot out of me.”<br>“Are you alright?” asked Kyle, immediately solicitous. “Do you want me to take you someplace and get you something to eat? Some pizza or something?”<br>“Rath is wrong about a lotta stuff,” laughed Ava. “But the pizza in New York isn’t one of them. N’ah, just take me to wherever you’re takin me.” Kyle looked over at the alien hybrid, with her sleek blond bob emphasizing her delicate features. His gaze missed nothing, from the ring, piercing her eyebrow, to the three-inch high heels totally unsuitable to walking more than three feet.<br>“You know,” he said. “It’s not that I don’t think you have a really unique fashion sense, but you’re going to need to blend in a little bit more if you want to fit in here.”<br>“Yeah, well, who says I’m staying is this stupid Podunk little town anyhow?” Ava railed. “What’s so freaking great about Roswell anyhow? It’s nothing but dirt and dust!”<br><br> Kyle pulled his car away from the curb with Ava ranted and railed against everything Roswell. After several miles, he realized there was silence in the car. He looked over at Ava and realized that she was crying.<br>“Hey, come on, I didn’t mean anything by it,” he said. “Really, you look great, it’s just that what you’re wearing isn’t typical of Roswell. If you’re going to stay, I just want to try and help you fit in.”<br>“I’m not her you know,” said Ava. “I’m not Tess. I’m just me, Ava, and I can’t be her for you.”<br>“I don’t want you to be her, I want you to be yourself, but I want you to be happy here too, and the people here can be mean. If you look different, or act different, they can make your life miserable. It’s kind of like you have a New York state of mind. You need to switch gears and get a Roswell state of mind instead.” Kyle took his eyes off the road again and glanced at Ava. “Your still crying,” he said. “Why?”<br>“Because this is the first time someone has ever cared about <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>me</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->, that’s why,” answered Ava as she turned her head and looked out the window. <br><br> Kyle and Ava finished the rest of their ride in silence. He pulled into the alley behind the CrashDown and climbed out of the car. Jogging around to the passenger side, he opened the door for Ava and waited until she climbed out. The two walked into the back of the restaurant, and through the kitchen to the main part of the café. Liz and Alex bussed tables, while Michael and Maria cleaned the grill. Isabelle sat over by the register, checking receipts. Ava took one look at the alien themed café and burst into laughter. The gang stared, amazed to here such a cheerful musical sound coming from someone who so closely resembled Tess.<br>“Hi Ava,” said Liz. “I’m Liz, and this is Alex.”<br>“I know,” said Ava. “That’s Isabelle, and that’s Michael and Maria. Max filled me in on everyone when we talked.”<br>“Well, we’re all glad you decided to stay with us,” said Isabelle, from across the restaurant.<br>“I’m glad to, but it’s kinda scary. They were my family ya know. Leavin them was hard, even though I never really felt like I belonged with them.”<br><br> Liz looked at her intently, thinking back to the message they had seen from Max and Isabelle’s mother. Not he message Tess had wanted them to see, but the real one that was revealed to them after they started wearing the platinum.<br>“Go on Ava,” she encouraged. “What do you mean?”<br>“Well, it’s like, some of the things they’ve done, and like the way they think, well, I just couldn’t be like that. They didn’t mind scammin people, or stealin, or whatever. If they saw something they wanted, they just took it. I knew it was wrong, but I wasn’t strong enough to go against them. I was afraid if I did, they’d just,” she paused.<br>“They’d just what, Ava?” prompted Liz.<br>“Do to me what they did to Zan,” she burst out.<br><br> “What do you mean?” asked Michael. “What did they do to Zan?”<br>“It was the summit,” said Ava, after much coaxing. “We’ve been contacted before about the summit, but Zan decided it wasn’t a good idea for us to go. He turned em down. Rath and Lonnie were pissed at him, but nuthin they said could get him to change his mind. Rath and Lonnie decided that if they couldn’t change his mind, they’d,” she paused again, and lowered her head, cradling it in her hands.<br>“Come on Ava,” said Liz, soothingly, rubbing Ava’s back. “You have to tell us. You loved Zan, didn’t you?”<br>“Yes,” she said, nodding. “But he never loved me. Not the way Max loves you.”<br>“That’s right,” said Liz. “Max loves me. He risked everything for me, to heal me. I would have died. Now, if you know something important, you have to tell me, so that I can save him.”<br>“They killed him. Lonnie held me back and covered my mouth so I couldn’t scream, and Rath, he shoved him in front of that truck. Then he used his powers to speed the truck up, and it killed him. It killed my Zan!”<br><br> Ava cried inconsolably, while the others digested her news.<br>“We have to tell Max,” said Isabelle. “We have to warn him.”<br>“I’ll call him,” said Liz, grabbing a phone. She punched the numbers for Max’s cell phone in and waited. “It’s ringing,” she said. As the phone rang, she became aware of a ringing sound in the café. She looked around and tried to identify the source of the sound. Michael crossed the café to the booth where Max frequently sat. He slid his hand down behind the cushion and pulled out a ringing cell phone. Liz slowly hung up the phone and disconnected the call, and the cell phone stopped ringing.<br>“Now what?” she said.<br> <p><center><span style="font-family:comic sans ms; color:yellow;font-size:medium;"><a href="http://pub129.ezboard.com/fmajiklmoonsr ...

A small chuckle escaped from Liz, followed by laughter from Kyle and Michael, and Isabelle and Maria soon followed. Within seconds, the room was filled with laughter that did much to ease the tension that had previously filled the room.<br>“I’m guessing you don’t like her much,” said Ava.<br>“You got that right,” said Maria.<br>“Listen,” said Liz, as she contained her laughter. “We can trash Tess later. Right now, we need to find a way to warn Max. Isabelle, can you try dream walking him?”<br>“I-I don’t know,” said Isabelle. “I can’t dream walk someone if their awake.”<br><br>        “You did it once before,” Michael reminded her as he sad down in the booth where Isabelle was sitting.<br>“That was different,” said Isabelle. “He was drugged then.”<br>“Isabelle, you have to try,” said Liz. “We don’t have any other options.” Isabelle nodded and reached into her pocketbook and removed her wallet. Opening it up, she removed a wallet sized school photo of Max and placed it on the table. Isabelle took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly, trying to bring her swirling emotions under control. She placed her fingers on the picture, and concentrated on Max. Once she was on the dream plane, Isabelle searched for the iridescent dream bubble that belonged to her brother. She located the bubble, and tried to enter it, but unlike the dream bubbles of people who were asleep, Max’s bubble felt as though it was sheathed in steel. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t penetrate it.<br><br>        “I can’t do it,” she gasped at last. “I can’t get in.”<br>“Isabelle, you have to keep trying,” said Michael. “We have to warn him.”<br>“Damn it, Michael, don’t you get it? I tried. I can’t do it!” Across the room, Ava said something softly.<br>“What?” asked Kyle. “What did you say?”<br>“I said that Liz could do it,” said Ava, her voice stronger. “She can reach Max.”<br>“You’re crazy, Ava,” said Liz. “I don’t have any powers. I’m human, remember?”<br>“You said Max healed you, right? Well, when he did that, he changed you,” said Ava.”<br>“What do you mean, he changed me?” queried Liz, nervously.<br>“You were dead, right, or just about dead anyhow. When Max brought you back to life, he altered your physical make-up. He awoke a part of your brain that’s been dormant. Our powers come from our brains; we use more of our brains than you do. Except for if Max used his powers to bring you back to life, it’s kinda like he jump-started your heart, and your brain. It woke up a part of your brain that you don’t use. Frig it; I’m no good at explaining. Didn’t your protector explain any of this too you?”<br><br>        “We never really knew our protector,” explained Michael. “At least, Max, Isabelle and I didn’t. Nascedo raised Tess, and they weren’t too forthcoming with the information. Anything we’ve learned, we figured out from the book.”<br>“How’d you translate the book without the help of your protector?” asked Ava.<br>“Alex did it,” said Isabelle, proudly. “He created a computer program that helped him translate the book.”<br>“Well, it’s not completely translated yet,” said Alex. “We’ve still got quite a bit to go.”<br>“Way to go, brainiac,” said Ava. “Lonnie and Rath have our book. They never let me see it.”<br>“Can we forget about the book for a minute and focus on Max!” shouted Liz. “We need to do something to warn him!”<br>“Right,” said Ava. “Come over here and sit down,” she said, indicating the booth where Isabelle sat. <br>“I don’t think I can do this,” said Liz, nervously. “I mean Isabelle, if you couldn’t get through to Max, what makes you think I can?”<br>“I know my brother, and I know that if there is one voice he will hear no matter where he is, no matter what he's doing, it's yours. Take my hand, Liz,” said Isabelle.<br><br><br>        The summit had not gone well, and everyone was angry. Lonnie and Rath were pissed at Max for withholding information about the granolith from them, and Max was mad at them for trying to bully and cajole him into giving into Nicholas’s demands. Max could feel the anger burning in them, but it was Tess that surprised him the most. She was enraged with him, and doing her best to hide it behind a cheerful, supportive façade. <br>“I’m hungry,” said Rath. “Let’s get something to eat.”<br>“Not pizza,” said Lonnie. “I’m sick of pizza. Let’s go to Chinatown.” <br><br>        The group turned a corner, and Max felt a hand slip into his and squeeze reassuringly. He looked down, expecting to see Tess walking next to him, her hand in his, but there was nothing there. He felt the slight pressure against his hand once again, and he looked up, and across the street. An image of Liz appeared across the busy city street. Without thinking, he stepped off the curb and headed towards her. Behind him, he heard a large banging noise. He turned to find that a window washer’s scaffold had fallen on the exact spot where he had been standing. He looked back across the street, but Liz was nowhere to be seen.<br>“Liz! Liz, where are you?” He turned to where Tess and the other’s had been standing, but they too were gone.<br><br>        Max felt the hairs on the back of his neck prickle. He looked around once more and then ran down the street towards the subway entrance where Rath and Lonnie lived. He pushed past the crowds waiting for the train and walked down a deserted tunnel until he came to the abandoned area Rath and Lonnie called home. Tess sat on the floor, in the center of the room, staring at him intently.<br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em> “You only see me,”</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->a voice in his head whispered. <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em> “You don’t see Rath and Lonnie sitting on the sofa.”</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br>“Tess, what happened?” he asked, kneeling down on the floor next to her. He made sure his gaze didn’t focus on the sofa for too long. “Are you alright?”<br>“Tell King dork that we attacked you,” laughed Lonnie.<br>“Lonnie and Rath, they attacked me,” said Tess. “They tried to get inside my mind, and find out where the granolith was. But I stopped them.”<br>“How did you stop them Tess?” asked Max.<br>“I don’t know,” moaned Tess.<br>“Nice touch, babe,” said Rath. <br>“Where are they now, Tess?” asked Max, gently.<br>“I’ don’t know,” she moaned again. “They were just gone.”<br><br>        “Yeah, that’s right,” said Rath, standing up. “Gone is where we’re goin’.” He walked over to a table and placed a gold book on it. “If you translate this friggin book before us, let us know. We’ll come back to Mayberry and use the granolith ourselves to get home,” said Rath. <br>“And if you get it translated before me?” questioned Tess. She smiled slightly as she spoke, enjoying the feeling of Max stroking her hair. He was completely taken in by her mind warp.<br>“Don’t worry,” said Lonnie, wrapping her arms round Rath. “We’ll take you with us. Any friggin fool could see you shoulda been with us right from the beginning. Ava always was too freakin human.”<br>“That’s right,” said Tess. “I go with you, and don’t you forget it. Nascedo made a deal with Kivar, and I’m going to uphold it!”<br>“Yeah, whatever,” said Rath, as he and Lonnie walked out of the room. “We’ll see you in Mayberry after you get the book translated.”<br><br>        “It’s okay, Tess,” whispered Max, as he watched Lonnie and Rath leave out of the corner of his eye. “You’re alright, and I’m going to take you home.” He stood up and pulled Tess up with him, and helped her gather her things, and the two started to walk down the tunnel. Max stopped and turned back towards Lonnie and Rath’s hovel. “Wait here,” he said.<br>“What’s the matter Max?” asked Tess with concern.<br>“Nothing, well, nothing alien related,” said Max with a smile. “I left my back pack back there. You wait here, and I’ll just go grab it.” Max jogged back down the tunnel, into the large area Rath and Lonnie called home. He grabbed the backpack he had purposely left behind. He glanced around, to make sure nobody was watching him, and he quickly grabbed Rath and Lonnie’s copy of the Destiny Book off the table and buried it in his bag. He slipped the bag over his shoulder and jogged back to where Tess was waiting.<br>“Come on,” he said, smiling down at her. “I’m ready to go home.”<br> <p><center><span style="font-family:comic sans ms; color:yellow;font-size:medium;"><a href="http://pub129.ezboard.com/fmajiklmoonsr ...

While Max spoke, Liz went behind the counter and began to fill glasses with tonic for everyone to drink. When she was sure Tess wasn’t watching her, she slipped one of the glasses to Ava, who was hiding on the floor, behind the counter. Ava smiled her thanks and passed Liz a scrap of paper. Carefully Liz unfolded it and read Ava’s message. “She’s lying,” it said. Liz nodded to so she understood and slipped the note in her pocket. Grabbing the tray of drinks, she went back over to the others.<br><br>        “So after I found Tess, we got the hell out of there,” said Max, concluding his tale.<br>“Why didn’t you take the opportunity to go back home with them?” asked Isabelle.<br>“Because Max knew that his home was here, with you and Michael,” said Tess, reaching out and squeezing Max’s arm. Maria rolled her eyes, and made a gagging motion to Liz, behind Tess’s back. Liz managed to hide her smile.<br><br>“Okay, well, good, you are all back, safe and sound, but we need to clear out of here, or my parents will freak out if you guys are here much longer.”<br>“Liz is right,” said Kyle, feigning a yawn. “Besides, I’m getting tired.”<br>Alex jumped slightly as if someone had kicked him and he chimed it. “I hope your not to tired to teach me that meditation technique you told me about Kyle,” he improvised. “Remember you said you were going to crash at my place and show it to me?”<br>“What? Oh yeah, right,” said Kyle, recovering quickly. “Tess, I can’t drive you home tonight. Do you want to take my car and I can have Alex drive me home in the morning?”<br><br>        Tess scrunched her nose slightly and looked out the corner of her eye at Max.<br>“I’ll drive Tess home,” said Max, obeying the small voice he heard in his head. He nodded slightly to Michael to indicate that he would meet them all later at Michael’s apartment. He stood and slipped his hand under Tess’s arm and helped her from the booth. He looked down into her eyes and smiled slightly.<br>“Despite everything that happened on this trip, I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.” He took her hand and led her to the door, but before he left the café, he turned and looked at Liz.<br>“I love you,” he mouthed to her.<br><br><br>        Liz reached into the box and grabbed a slice of pepperoni pizza and lifted to cheesy gooey mess to her mouth and took a bite. <br>“Oh my God!” she gasped. “This is so good! Can someone please explain to me why Tess’s mind warps make me want to eat?” Liz looked from Alex, to Ava waiting for an answer, but none was forthcoming.<br>“Fine,” she said, her voice muffled as she took another bite of pizza. “Then can somebody tell me why Max hasn’t gained an ounce since we figured out about her mind warps? I feel like I’ve gained fifteen pounds since we figured out what she’s doing to us.”<br><br>        “Well, I’d say good genes,” said Isabelle, taking a sip from her tonic, “But we’re still not really sure about our genes.”<br>“I think your jeans are great,” said Alex with a mock leer. “Actually, Liz, I’m not really sure, but we didn’t start the food fests until we started blocking her warps. I think the combination of her warp and our blocking it, does something to our brain chemistry and flips on the hungry switch.” He started to say something else, but stopped as the door to Michael’s apartment opened. Max stood in the doorway and surveyed his friends.<br>“She sold us out,” he said. “The bitch sold us out to Rath and Lonnie.”<br><br>        “What!” the others cried in unison. Liz jumped up, crawled over Michael and Maria and flew into Max’s arms. <br>“Oh Max,” she said. “I was so worried. When Ava told us what they did to Zan, I was so afraid they would try and hurt you. We all were afraid.”<br>“How did you get to New York so quickly, Liz?” asked Max. “And what happened to you? I looked away for a second after that scaffolding fell, and you had disappeared.”<br>“I wasn’t really there Max. Look, it’s complicated, and you deserve an explanation, but right now, we all want to hear about what happened.”<br><br>        “Max led Liz back over to where the others were sitting. He sat down on the sofa and pulled Liz onto his lap and began his tale.<br>“She had a mind warp on me almost from the time we left,” he said. “She was creating this rosy little paradise for her and I to exist in. She is so pathetic that it’s almost sad. Oh, and she wanted to try some memory retrieval techniques on me to see if I could <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>remember</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> our life on Antar.”<br>“You don’t remember Antar?” asked Ava, curiously.<br>“No,” said Isabelle. “None of us do. Do you?”<br>“I didn’t,” admitted Ava. “But our protector worked with all of us to help us remember what Antar was like. I wasn’t very good at it. Lonnie was the best at it. After a while, she could remember almost everything.”<br>“Tell me something,” said Max. “Did Antar have green skies, a double sun, and oceans so thick it was like swimming in Jell-O?”<br><br>        Ava laughed, and again, the group was amazed to here such a delightful, unfettered sound coming from a face that so resembled Tess.<br>“No,” she said. “Antar looks just like Earth, as do the people. The shape shifters looked like what people on Earth think aliens look like, but our people look just like everyone else on Earth. Oh, and the ocean, it’s wet, not edible.”<br>“I can’t believe her,” said Max. “She took the one thing we all wanted to know, and she bastardized it!”<br>“What else happened, Maxwell?” asked Michael.<br>“What, before or <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>after</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> they tried to kill me?”<br>“After,” said Liz. “Unless something of vital interest happened at the summit, we can cover that later.”<br><br>        “After I saw you, Liz, I turned around, and they were gone. I looked back to where you were standing and you were gone. I took off and ran back to that bat cave they call home. When I got there, Tess was sitting on the floor, trying to warp me. She wanted me to believe that she was there alone, and that Lonnie and Rath had attacked her. But they were right there telling her what to say. They want us to translate the destiny book for them.”<br>“We couldn’t ever figure out how to read it, and our protector couldn’t read it either. That was why he pushed the memory retrieval stuff. He wanted us to remember our language, but we never could.”<br>“So they never translated any of it?” asked Alex.<br>“No,” said Max. “And they never will.” He reached into his bag and removed the other copy of the destiny book. “I stole it from them. Now I want to know how Liz was able to appear to me in New York,” said Max.<br><br>        “Well, it’s kind of complicated,” hedged Liz, looking at the others, her eyes begging for help. “After Ava told us about Zan, we knew you were in danger. We tried to call your cell phone, but you left it here. We found it wedged in a booth at the CrashDown. Isabelle tried dream walking you too, but that wasn’t working either, we didn’t know what to do.”<br>“That still doesn’t explain how you were able to appear over 2000 miles away,” said Max. Liz caught her lower lip between her teeth and thought for a second. She took a deep breath and blurted, “When you healed me Max, you changed me.”<br>“What, what do you mean, I changed you?” <br>“According to Ava, your alien powers come from a portion of your brain that people on Earth don’t use. When you healed me, you changed my physical makeup enough to wake up that portion of my brain.”<br>“I turned you into one of us,” Max said, flatly.<br>“Max, there is no us, or them,” said Liz. “We are all humans. You just have a brain that is more developed than most people.”<br>“And now, you do too,” said Max. “God, Liz, I am so sorry, I never meant…” his voice trailed off.<br>“Max, you saved my life. You risked everything for me. From where I stand, there aren’t any drawbacks.”<br>“You are incredible, Liz Parker,” said Max, hugging her to him. “And I will love you forever!”<br><br> <p><center><span style="font-family:comic sans ms; color:yellow;font-size:medium;"><a href="http://pub129.ezboard.com/fmajiklmoonsr ...
