Wow! Two great parts! :thumbsup

Pray for aliens. :lol I loved that! And this:
“But it doesn’t have to happen,” said Tess. “Especially this part about my being with Max. That’s really gross on all sorts of levels. He’s my brother. I can’t ever imagine liking him, liking him.”
And I agree with this, too:
but we are together,” said Michael with stunning logic. “We don’t have to be couples to be together. The bond we have now is really strong, who says that isn’t enough.”
I hope they can keep Liz from getting shot now!

:heart :heart :heart :love :ufo

Title: Consanguinity



Chapter Fourteen

If the desire of Future Max was to create an unbreakable bond between the eight, he succeeded beyond his wildest imaginations, for it seemed as if the eight friends were inseparable. If they couldn’t meet together as a group, then they would meet in twos and threes creating and discarding plans like battle weary generals at the turning point of a great war. And like those great generals, they were determined to succeed. Nothing was going to destroy their plans in any way shape or form. What they didn’t consider, however was across town, a desperate alien was also making plans, an alien who would do anything and sacrifice anybody to return to his home planet, boy king in tow.

** * ** *

Michael summoned his courage and knocked on the storm door of Maria’s house. He hoped and prayed with all his being that Maria would open the door and not her mother. Luck, however, was not with him, and Amy Deluca opened the door, a half smile playing across her lips.

“Hi,” she said.

“Uh, um,” Michael stuttered. “I’m Michael Evans, and I was wondering if Maria would um, like to go for a walk or something?”

“Michael, sweetie, I know who you are,” Amy said, struggling not to laugh. “You’re over hear all the time, remember?”

“Oh, uh, yeah, that’s right,” he said in a rush, trying to cover his nervousness. “Sorry, Miz Deluca, I was just being kind of stupid. So I was wondering if Maria wanted to come for a walk with me, Isabel and Alex?”

Amy opened the door and looked out over Michael’s head.

“I don’t see Isabel or Alex anywhere,” she said, enjoying the look of discomfort on the young man’s face.

“No, uh, they stopped for slurpees,” Michael improvised. “I was just wondering if Maria wanted to come with us, or something.”

Amy laughed to herself at Michael’s obvious discomfort. “Hang on just a second and I’ll see if she wants to go,” she said. “Maria,” she called, turning into the house. “Michael’s here to see you.”

“He is?” came the excited cry from within the house. “I mean, tell him I’ll be right with him,” Maria said, trying to sound calm.

“She’ll be right with you,” said Amy. “Did you want to come inside and…”

MOM,” came the shout from inside the house.

“I mean have a seat on the porch while you wait?” asked Amy, not missing a beat.

“Thanks, I will,” said Michael, looking alarmed at the crashes and bangs that were coming from within the DeLuca household.

“Mom, have you seen my black – oh never mind,” Maria yelled. “Just one more minute, Michael!”

“Do you think everything’s okay? It kind of sounds like there’s a hurricane going on in there.” he asked, tentatively, causing Amy to laugh.

“Michael, with two sisters, you’ve never seen either one of them get ready to go out before?” she asked.

“Well, Isabel goes out a lot, but honestly, Miz Deluca Isabel’s such a control freak that even if she does act like that, there is no way anybody’s ever going to know about it,” said Michael. “And Tess, well she’s more of a grab a coat and go type of person. I don’t think either one of them have ever acted like that before.”

“Well, I think it’s just because the right person wasn’t waiting on the steps,” said Amy.

“Huh? What do you mean?” Michael asked, confusion dancing across his face.

“Never mind,” said Amy. “You’ll understand someday.”

A loud crash, followed by a muttered curse proceeded Maria’s arrival at the door.

“Hi,” she said, trying to lean casually against the doorframe while gasping for air. “I, uh, I didn’t know you were stopping by.”

“Yeah, well, it was kind of a spontaneous thing,” said Michael. “I was wondering, uh, that is, Alex, Isabel and I wanted to know if you wanted to go for a walk?”

The expression on Maria’s face was priceless when Michael mentioned Isabel, and Alex, and it took all of Amy’s acting ability to not explode with laughter.

“Well, you kids have a nice time, and Maria, school starts tomorrow, so don’t be too late,” she said.

“So, uh, you wanna go for a walk or something?” Michael asked again.

“Yeah, sure, I mean, we still have a lot of things to figure out before the eighteenth,” said Maria.

“Yeah, about that. I was kind of thinking maybe we could not talk about all of that crap for a change,” Michael muttered, his face turning red.

“Oh, uh, I, uh,” said Maria, for once at a loss for words. “Well, uh, what do you want to talk about?”

Michael stopped, floored by the question. When he’d practiced asking Maria to go for a walk, he went over every possible scenario he could imagine, but he didn’t even start to plan what would happen if she said yes.

“Um, are you excited about school?” Michael asked. Even as the words popped out of his mouth, he knew they were lame.

“No, not really,” said Maria. “School is just something I do until I get a recording contract.”

“Recording contract?” asked Michael. “Really?”

“Well, that’s the dream, anyhow,” said Maria. “And I’m going to do everything possible to make it come true. How about you?”

“Well, I – I guess my main dream was to figure out who I am and where I came from,” said Michael. “But that’s moving into dangerous territory, so let’s not talk about it.”

“Okay, how was your trip to Disney?” asked Maria.

“Actually, it was really fun,” Michael admitted. “But if you ever tell anyone I said that, I promise I’ll kill you.”

“My lips are sealed,” said Maria, making a zipping motion across her mouth. “So tell me about it. What was your favorite thing? And don’t say Space Mountain!”

“Actually, Space Mountain was cool, but I loved The Tower of Terror at MGM. The whole story leading up to the actual ride totally freaked me out. How about you? Do you have a favorite ride there?”

“Well, uh, we’ve never been,” said Maria. “We’ve never had the money.” She looked down at the cracked sidewalk, trying to hide the color that rushed into her cheeks.

“Oh, uh, yeah, sorry,” said Michael. He thought quickly and then reached into his pocket. “Well, um, since you’ve never been, I thought maybe you’d like to have this piece of Disney World for your very own,” he said in a rush.

Awkwardly, he thrust the bracelet at Maria, waiting with his heart in his throat to see if she would accept it.

“You got this for me?” she asked, touching it lightly.

“Yeah, I saw it and I thought of you,” he said, starting to relax a little.

“You saw Dumbo and you thought of me?” Maria asked. “I think I’m insulted.”

“Wait,” Michael said, his voice ripe with panic. He reached into his pocket and fished around, and let out a gusty sigh of relief. “No, I saw this and it reminded me of you.” He thrust the small charm of Tinkerbell at Maria and waited.

“Oh, it’s beautiful,” Maria said. “Oh, but look, it’s broken.” She reached out and touched the small, broken gold loop that was used to fasten the charm to the bracelet.

“No problem, I can fix that,” said Michael. He reached out to use his powers to repair it, but before he could, Maria stopped him.

“Wait,” she said. She took the bracelet from Michael and quickly fastened it around her wrist. “Okay, now fix it,” she said.

“You want me to fix it, while you’re wearing it?” Michael asked.

“I trust you,” she said, simply.

Michael felt the gratitude and something else well up inside his heart. Nobody, not Max, Isabel, Tess, or their parents had ever put so much faith in him. He summoned every ounce of control he had and deftly repaired the fastener on the Tinkerbell charm.

“There,” he said. “You’re all set.”

Maria smiled up at him, and then, before she could think about what she was doing, stood on tiptoe and kissed him.

** * ** *

Across the street, a man watched, and felt a growing rage in what would have been his heart, if he had one. Something was going to have to be done, before it was too late.

Michael and Maria are cute together! And her trusting him to fix the Tinkerbell charm with it on. I still kind of look twice when I see "Michael Evans," though.
“Uh, um,” Michael stuttered. “I’m Michael Evans, and I was wondering if Maria would um, like to go for a walk or something?”
It just jumps out at me, but of course, that's who he is... and Tess Evans, too. Still sounds weird, but I love it! Great new part, Tracie!

Great beginning. I have to admit it was really surprising cause I never thought about this scenario.
Max traveling in time to that point in history.
It was sad to know about Sheriff Valenti's death and Kyle's also.
I hope everything turns out ok. Of course it would be great to read it from the beginning :)

Title: Consanguinity



Chapter Fifteen

Kyle stood hesitantly in the foyer of the Roswell City Library. It was not an environment he was familiar with, nor was he comfortable being surrounded by all the books that were housed in the library. But Tess was in here, and it was Tess he needed to see. His footsteps echoed on the hard wood floor, as he walked, looking down the stacks for a lone blond figure. He was about to admit defeat, when he finally found her, huddled in a corner in the children’s section, thumbing through a well-worn copy of Dr. Suess’ Are You My Mother.

“A little light reading before school begins?” he asked, sliding down on the floor beside her.

“Oh, hey, Kyle,” she said, scrubbing a hand across her eyes. “How’s it going?”

“I think that’s the question I should be asking you,” said Kyle. “You look really upset.”

“Well gee, how am I supposed to react?” Tess asked. “Is there a rule book you get when you find out you’re a homicidal maniac? Because if there is, someone forgot to give me my copy.”

“Geez, jump down my throat why don’t ya?” said Kyle. “Look, I came to see if you were okay, but if this is how you’re going to be, forget it.”

Kyle turned to walk away, and Tess jumped up, quickly. The book she had been holding tumbled to the ground, forgotten as she reached out and touched his shoulder.

“I’m sorry,” she said. “I’m just…”

“Confused, freaked out, scared to death?” asked Kyle. “Join the club, me too.”

“You are?” Tess asked, concern for him temporarily overshadowing her own concerns. “Is anything wrong?”

“Well, let’s see,” said Kyle. “If we can believe everything we know, in about a week, one of my best friends is going to be shot, and in about eight months, I’m going to be shot. And then, I have this person I really care about, and they seem to think that all of this stuff is their fault.”

“But it is my fault!” Tess cried. “Wait, what do you mean, you really care about?”

“Well, I thought it was pretty obvious,” Kyle said. “I think you’re um, really cool.” He scuffed at the ground with his sneaker like a small boy who had been caught doing something wrong. “And you’re really upset, and that’s upsetting me.”

“Oh,” Tess said, faintly. “Well, I, uh – you’re really cool, too,” she finished in a rush. “And I don’t want you to get shot, or Liz. And I don’t want it to be my fault if it does happen.”

“Okay, we need to talk, Tess,” Kyle said, pulling her toward a chair. “First off, you had nothing to do with Liz getting shot, or me for that matter.”

“But what about Alex?” Tess questioned. “You can’t say that wasn’t my fault.”

“Yeah, I actually can, because you know what? You’re talking about something that never actually happened, Tess. You were a whatchamacallit, a victim in that whole other timeline thing. You were raised by that freaky Nescado thing, not that he really raised you. I mean geez, who knows what horrible things he did to you. You, wait, the Tess in the other timeline, cause she isn’t you, did that as a matter of survival.”

Tess gave an audible sniff and scrubbed ineffectually at the tears that streaked her cheeks.

“Maybe you feel that way, but the others probably don’t,” she said.

“Don’t be stupid, Tess,” Kyle said, his voice uncharacteristically sharp. “Of course they feel that way, and you’d know it if you’d give them a chance to tell you. They’ve tried, but you keep shutting them out, the same way you’ve been shutting me out, and it has to stop. We’re all on the same side, or we should be. Don’t shut us out Tess, you need us, and we need you. I need you.”

“When did you go and get all insightful?” Tess asked, trying to ignore the hopeful feeling that was welling up inside her chest. Maybe Kyle was right. Maybe she had been shutting her friends and family out instead of the other way around.

“I’ve always been insightful, you just never noticed,” said Kyle, attempting to appear wounded by her comment. Tess giggled, softly at first, then louder and louder until a full-fledged belly laugh escaped.

“That felt good,” she said, after her laughter subsided. “I haven’t laughed like that in forever. “In fact, I feel so happy now, I think I’m ready to do something.”

“Do what?” Kyle asked.

“You’ll see,” said Tess. “I’m going to need your help. Come on.” Tess grabbed Kyle by the hand and dragged him across the library. “It’s right over here.”

“What’s right over here?” Kyle asked. “Ancient Languages? What, Spanish isn’t enough for you, you want to start on Latin or something?”

“There’s something here, Kyle,” she said. “I started sort of remembering. Well, kind of. I saw you and me, and I was looking for something on a top shelf, but it was kind of like I was watching me, you know?”

“Maybe,” said Kyle. “And we were in Ancient Languages?”

“Yeah, over here,” Tess said, looking around. “It’s up here, on the top shelf. Will you give me a boost?”

“Yeah, sure,” Kyle said. He cupped his hands and bent his legs, allowing Tess to put her foot in his hand. He straightened up carefully and waited while she fumbled around. “Did you find it – whatever it is?” he asked.

“Yeah, you can put me down, now,” Tess said.

Kyle carefully shifted his hands so that he gripped Tess around the legs and allowed her to slowly slide down to the ground.

“Um, Kyle, I’m on the ground now, you can let go,” she said.

“Not until I do this,” Kyle responded. He lowered his head to hers and kissed her. As soon as their lips touched, a burst of energy shot through his body. He felt so alive, so connected to Tess; he didn’t want the moment to end. But end it did, and he slowly pulled away from her.

“What the hell was that?” he asked, his voice cracking slightly.

“I’m not sure,” Tess said, her voice coming in short panting gasps. “But I can’t say I didn’t like it.”

“I saw you, and I saw me,” Kyle said. “I saw what you were talking about. I saw you climb up and get something, but it was like I was watching us on television or something.”

“Or like we were seeing it through Max’s eyes,” said Tess, slowly as she started to realize what had happened. “I bet in that other time, Max saw us, and when he came back in time, it was one of the images he put in our minds. That means he wanted us to have this. It’s important. I knew it was!”

“And what exactly is it?” Kyle asked.

“This,” said Tess, holding out what looked like a book made of a golden tinted metal.

“Wow,” he said, looking at the indecipherable language. “I guess Ancient Languages was an appropriate place for it. Come on, let’s go show the others.”

Yay, Kyle! He got Tess back on track! :thumbsup Great chapter, Tracie!
“Well, let’s see,” said Kyle. “If we can believe everything we know, in about a week, one of my best friends is going to be shot, and in about eight months, I’m going to be shot. And then, I have this person I really care about, and they seem to think that all of this stuff is their fault.”
Yeah, that kind of revelation would be hard to deal with! :shock:


“But it is my fault!” Tess cried. “Wait, what do you mean, you really care about?”

“Well, I thought it was pretty obvious,” Kyle said. “I think you’re um, really cool.” He scuffed at the ground with his sneaker like a small boy who had been caught doing something wrong. “And you’re really upset, and that’s upsetting me.”

Yeayy !!! Max found the rocks with the Sheriff's help. He will remember I am sure.
And of course he will return with the jeep to those rocks :)

I was wondering about a sentences mmmm
She’d been so easy to manipulate before, but this time, something was different. She was more secure, more sure of herself, and he didn’t know how to deal with that
when??? on Antar?? cause Nasedo has no memory of the other life so it has to be on Antar.

And the guy trying to avoid Max to reach the rocks for me it's Cal.

“Excuse me, but isn’t this supposed to be about a little bit of proof from you guys?” said Maria. “Not about tiaras. Unless, do you have any here? Cause if you do, I’d love to borrow one. I think I’d look pretty hot in a tiara.”
