Hey Tracie... You did it you wrote another post and I must say that it did answer the questions that I had asked. This just keeps getting better and better! But as you know what I always say.... more more more more please. I just can't believe that Max wants to go to Antar and the new question that I have is why? Also will Michael and Isabel feel the same way? Plus what about the others? Any way I will stop asking questions and just bask in the fact that you have written another great part and enjoy it.

Part 59

Shouts erupted around Max as everyone became aware of what Max had said to Naloch. Shouts from everybody except Liz that is. Instead, she moved closer to Isabelle and slowly stepped between the taller girl, and the crumpled body of her dead husband.

“Isabelle,” she said softly. “Come on Sweetie, there isn’t anything you can do right now. Why don’t you come over here with me for a while,” she said, leading Isabelle away. As she did, Diane Evans and Nancy Parker as well as two of the Antarians place a blanket over the body to hide it from view. Across the room where Max and the others were standing; a loud outburst occurred. Liz looked over see her husband trying to explain why returning to Antar would be a good thing.

“Look, I’m not talking about right now, and I’m not talking about forever, but I think we owe it to ourselves to see where we came from,” Max said in a slightly belligerent tone of voice.

“Sure, great plan Max, and what about us?” shouted Kyle. “We’re not from there, but we sure as hell don’t fit in around here anymore.”

“Well, I, uh,” Max stuttered.

“Glad to see you thought about us,” Kyle said darkly as he walked away from the others.

“He’s right you know,” said Michael. “We can’t go, actually, we don’t have any reason to go. Home is here.” He put his arm around Maria’s shoulder and placed a gentle kiss on the top of her head.

“I had a chance to leave once before, and I didn’t because everything I wanted was right here. That hasn’t changed.”

Maria looked up at Michael and saw the love shining in his eyes. “I love you too, Space Boy,” she said.

“If I may offer a suggestion,” Naloch said. “You have made your lives here on Earth, and it is understandable that you would not wish to leave, but you should realize that our new technology makes travel to Antar almost instantaneous. You could travel to our world in a very short time, and return back to Earth with no trouble. This will allow you to learn about your home planet but still be able to return to Earth.”

“And we could do this whenever?” asked Max.
“Yes, and your families would be welcomed as well. Our atmosphere presents no danger to them.”

“Michael,” Maria said. “If you could go, and come back at will, it may not be such a bad idea. Especially if I could go with you.”

“Indeed, all of you will be revered as the heroes that you are, and the people of our world would be honored indeed if you chose to visit our world,” said Naloch

“Well, when it’s presented in that way, it makes a little sense,” Philip admitted. “But Max, why? Why were you so willing to go back before you knew if you could come back? And more importantly, how could you make such a decision without talking to Liz?”

“It’s simple,” said Liz who had been observing the conversation ever since she had gotten Isabelle away from Jesse’s body. “Max is looking for something, for some sort of purpose to his life.”

“What do you mean, some sort of purpose, he’s married to you, he has a purpose!” shouted Geoff Parker. “His purpose is to get a job and support his family!”

“Liz is right,” Max said in a dull voice. “I feel so lost now. For so long, we lived to keep our secret a secret from everybody, then we were fighting to stay one step ahead of the special unit, and just survive. Now it’s all over. What comes next? I never really allowed myself to think I could have a future, and now it’s staring me in the face. I don’t know what to do next.”

A slightly mollified Geoff Parker placed his hand on Max’s shoulder. “We’ll Max, extraterrestrial aspects aside, you are now facing the same dilemma every youth in the world has had to face. It’s called the ‘What do I want to be when I grow up syndrome.’ You don’t have to make any decisions now, but I will give you one piece of advice. You’re married now, don’t go making unilateral decision, discuss things with your wife, unless you want to find yourself sleeping on the sofa.”

Everyone burst into laughter as the tension dissipated, slightly. Maria grabbed Liz by the arm and pulled her across the room. “How did you know that’s what Max was feeling?” she demanded.

“Simple, he’s my husband,” responded Liz as she pulled away from Maria and walked back towards Max. Once she reached him, she slipped an arm around his waist and smiled up at him.

“Liz, you know me better than I know myself. How do you do that?” he asked, hugging her tightly.

“It’s like I told Maria, you’re my husband.”

“Sire, we need to return to Antar to share the news that Kivar is dead. We will leave you with these communicators so that you can contact us when and if you wish to come to Antar.”

He held his hand out, and one of the other Antarians gives him a bag made of a shimmery metallic material. He reached into the bag and removed a stone with the ORB symbol on it.

“We have those,” said Max. “But we never really figured out how to use them.”

“I will instruct you on their use then. They are not difficult to use, once you are aware of their capabilities.”

For several minutes, Naloch proceeded to instruct the others on the use of the ORBS. Once they were all certain they understood how to utilize the stones, he and the others prepared to leave.

“By your leave Majesty, what are you going to do with Jesse?”

“I’m not sure,” admitted Max. “We can’t leave him here.”

“If I may make a suggestion then?” asked Naloch. Max nodded and Naloch continued. “We can modify the memories of his co-workers in Boston, as well as those here in Roswell.”

“Forgive me Naloch, but I can’t see how mind warping all these people will help,” said Michael.

“First we will modify the memories of the people in Roswell to forget what occurred during graduation. We will make it so that people think Isabelle and Jesse simply moved to Boston so that Jesse could accept a better job offer, and that the rest of you went off to make your own way in the world. We will also create the illusion that Princess Isabelle came home for a visit. We’ll place Jesse’s body back in Boston and make it look as though he were the victim of random violence.”

“Look Naloch, that sounds all well and good, but we haven’t had the greatest experience with mind warping,” said Max.

“King Zan, on Antar, there are special, gifted people who are trained in the art of memory modification. They have taken an oath to never use these powers for evil, and in fact, can be punished by death if they do so. It would be them who perform this memory modification, and it would be done in the most uninvasive way possible.”

Max looked at the others, and they all nodded. He walked over to Isabelle and took her hands in his.

“Isabelle, are you ok with this? It seems like the best way possible to deal with everything,” he asked her, gently.

“Yeah, I’m as ok with it as I’ll ever be,” she answered. “My husband is dead, killed by evil aliens. There really isn’t any way to explain it, now is there? Do what you have to. At least this way, Jesse will be able to be brought back to Roswell for a decent burial.”

Max hugged his sister tightly and then turned to Naloch. “Do it Naloch.”

“As you wish, Majesty. When we return to Antar, I will have it done. Now if I may make another suggestion, you and your family should go home and relax, and try and pretend as if nothing has happened.”

“Thank you Naloch, and we will be in touch about coming to Antar,” said Max. “I do want to see your world, but right now, I have to find my place in my own world.”

Naloch and the other Antarians bowed to Max and the others, and in a beam light, all evidence that they had ever been on Earth disappeared.

Part 60

Three months later:

Liz walked to the post office, and thought about everything that had happened in the three months since the battle, and Kivar’s death. Naloch had been right, and everything had worked according to his plan. Jesse’s ‘death’ and funeral had been hard for everyone, especially Isabelle. Thankfully, Jesse had made arrangements for the financial security of both Isabelle and his mother. Money would never take his place, but neither of them would have to worry about money for a very long time. Isabelle also received a letter in the mail several days after Jesse had died. They figured he must have written it just before the battle. It confirmed everything they knew. Jesse had been fighting Kivar’s mind warp for a very long time and in fact had done everything possible to mislead Kivar every step of the way. It wasn’t a lot, but it had given Isabelle some closure.

“Liz, come on, we’re going to be late,” Maria yelled from up the street. “Come on Chica, it’s time.”

Liz mentally shoo herself from her reverie and dropped the postcard in to the mailbox and went running back to Maria.

“It’s okay Maria, we have plenty of time. I just need to get changed, and then we can head out,” she said.

An hour later, Geoff Parker proudly escorted his daughter down the aisle to the waiting arms of her groom. To celebrate their one-year wedding anniversary, Liz and Max chose to renew their vows in a large celebration. The minister read the vows, and Max and Liz stated their intentions to love one another forever.

Just at the minister was about to pronounce them husband and wife, Michael interrupted the ceremony.

“Wait, Maria, will you marry me? Here, now!”

“What?” she cried.

“I mean it, I want to marry you, right now. Please say yes,” said Michael.

“Of course I’ll say yes you idiot. I love you!” Maria said, tears shining in her eyes.

Michael stepped away from Max’s side and crossed the small aisle to where Maria was standing next to Liz and Isabelle. He knelt down and takes her hand in his.

“Maria Deluca. I love you more than anything else. You already know you are my world, now I want you to be my life as well,” he said, slipping a diamond ring on her hand. “Sir,” he said turning to the minister, I hope you don’t mind performing one more ceremony today?”

“I’d be delighted,” he said. “Will there be any other takers?” he asked, looking at Isabelle and Kyle.

“Not right now,” said Kyle from his place beside Max.

“But maybe someday,” Isabelle said softly, smiling at Kyle. “Maybe someday.”

The minister made short work of the second ceremony and pronounced both couples husband and wife. After the ceremony, the small group returned to the CrashDown to celebrate.

“Excuse me,” Max said tapping on his glass to be heard over the small but loud group of people. “Liz and I have something we’d like to say!”

Silence filled the room as everybody stopped talking and turned towards Max. “Well, first, we’d like to thank all of you for sharing this day with us, and for the wonderful party. We also want to say congratulations to Michael and Maria. The next 50 years or so promise to be very interesting. And finally, we just wanted to share some wonderful news. Liz and I will be welcoming our first child into the world in just under six months.”

Shouts fill the room as everyone rushed up to hug and congratulate the happy couple.

“Liz, I can’t believe it,” squealed Maria. “A baby! How wonderful. But why didn’t you say anything!”

“Well, we were a little bit busy running for our lives, and then fighting a war,” Liz laughed. “Besides, I wasn’t sure myself at first, and then when I was, there was Jesse’s funeral. I just couldn’t tell everybody then. We needed to focus on Isabelle.”

“Um, not trying to be negative, but will this kind of pregnancy progress normally?” asked Maria.

“Yes,” said Liz with a happy grin on her face. “Max contacted Naloch, who said that everything should proceed normally, but there is one small side effect. You become totally in tune with your partner’s thought and feelings. You can feel everything he feels and everything he thinks if you open yourself up to it.”

“You little rat,” Maria said with a grin. “That’s how you knew what Max was feeling when he said he wanted to go back to Antar.”

“Yeah, that’s when I first started to suspect something was up.”

“Excuse me ladies,” said Max as he and Michael approached the two women. “May we have this dance?”

”Of course,” said Liz as she stepped into the arms of her husband.

“I wouldn’t have it any other way,” answers Maria as Michael led her to the dance floor.

Sparkle from Ruby Horse begins to play:

Through the clouds
A nice surprise
To see that twinkle
Return to your eyes
I searched my head
For some old spark
Been around this place
Stumbling in the dark
And when I feel the skies will never clear
You remind me that spring is near

How you sparkle
How you shine
How you rise above
The darkest skies

Through the crowd
I catch your eye
It takes me back again
When we were gettin' high
I search my head
For some old spark
Been around this place
Fumbling in the dark
And when I feel the skies will never clear
You remind me that spring is near

How you sparkle
How you shine
How you rise above
The darkest skies

Nothin' in this world
Could make me love you less
Shadows often leave perfection
In the best
Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love, oh my love

How you sparkle
How you shine
How you rise above
The darkest skies

How you sparkle
How you shine
How you rise above
The darkness

Several days later, in southern California, and old man walked slowly to his mailbox. Opening it, he reached inside and found a postcard from Roswell New Mexico addressed to Zeke and Nellie Mosley.

Dear Zeke and Nellie,

Thanks for all your help, we just wanted to let you know we made it home and everything is great. We couldn’t have done it without you.

Love

Jenny, Steve, Barbie, Bobby, Frankie and Kerri.

Author’s Note

And so, Quietly into the Night has ended. I can hardly believe it’s finished. First, I would really like to thank everybody who read this story and left all those wonderful reviews.

t’s funny, after watching Graduation and crying and crying, I realized, I couldn’t get Michael’s speech out of my head. It just really stuck with me, and from there, I heard Liz’s voice saying “And so we left,” and it just grew from there. I wish I could say that I knew exactly where this story was going from beginning to end, but to be honest; I never have a clue when I write. A lot of the things that happened in this story were a complete shock to me when I wrote them. The whole Jesse thing especially freaked me out.

As far as a sequel, I hope so; I think so, but no promises. I do have some other stories that have been neglected these past few months because Quietly wasn’t very quiet in my head. It just screamed to be written!

So again, thanks for all the awesome feedback, I hope you all enjoyed the story half as much as I enjoyed all the feedback.

Tracie

Tracie this was great! I have really enjoyed reading this story. If you should post a sequel you know that I will be one of the first to read it! I love the fact that Michael actually asked Maria to marry him and that she said yes that was soooo sweet. But... you did leave a lot of opening for a sequel so I will keep looking. Take care and keep them coming!

Posted: **Fri Aug 09, 2002 2:41 pm**

Great job! I can't believe it is over though. Sequal, please!!! Congrats for all of your hard work! Oh, and I absolutely loved how you ended it!!!! I am Panda.... Hear me Roar!!!!!

I'm still reading this, and it's great! That Liz is a smart one! Attaching the bugs to the police car and the camper, and all the other stuff... And you write like I do! I loved it way back there when the explosion happened in Michael's shop and you said you didn't know what it was yourself yet! LOL! I do things like that then wait for the story to tell itself as I figure out what's happening! Glad to see someone else does that, too!
