Rating: R for language

Spoilers: None that I can foresee

Summary: After Liz leaves Max at the cave she goes back to town to tell her friends about what has happened. When she arrives at the Crashdown she is confronted by a stranger who brings her good news. The war on Max's home planet is over but they are still in danger because four rebels have escaped. As fate would have it Tess was not Max's destiny after all. In fact Tessie and Nasedo are bad guys (they're Montairians). Micheal is Max and Isabel's brother for real (They're Kitarians). Their home planet is Kitaria.

Dedication: I dedicate this to Chrissie and Rhysha for sharing my love of Roswell and to Ronny for taping it every week for me I luv you guys!!!!

Feedback: I would greatly appreciate it considering this is my first fanfic. I've read a lot of other people's so I hope I do it justice.

She starts running faster then she was before. Tears come pouring out of her eyes, and streaming down her face. It's hard for her to see through all the tears. Yet she keeps on running. Her breathing is not normal. It's almost as if she was having an asthma attack, yet she kept on running. She finally stops running after an hour or so. It hurts all over but nothing can compare to the hurt she is feeling in her heart.

Liz says to herself, "This is not fair! I love him, and now I can't have him. He belongs to Tess." She shudders at the thought of Max and Tess together. "I have to tell Maria and Alex, who will be heartbroken. Why couldn't Max just have let me die that day? I wouldn't be in pain now if it wasn't for him. Wait, scratch that, I would've have never learned to live if it wasn't for Max."

*******

Before she even notices it she's back in town. She walked 10 miles. It's unbelievable for her to grasp that she walked that far and failed to notice. Tears are still streaming down her face as she stumbles towards the Crashdown. As she comes closer and closer to the Cafe a man not much older than herself is approaching her. She notices that he has the same features as the podsters with the exception of Tess. He is tall with dark hair and deep eyes. He has a beautiful smile on his face as he approaches Liz with hopefulness showing in his eyes. She notes that he is not much older then they are. He approaches her cautiously.

"Good afternoon, Miss. Would your name happen to be Liz?" the man asked, hoping her answer would be...

"Yes, and may I ask why you want to know?"

He takes her hand and kisses it. The man gets down on his knees and begins to speak with such respect in his tone "My lady, I was hoping I would find you soon. You are much prettier than the king described you. He said his son had impeccable taste but you are extraordinary."

Liz begins to blush. "King? Me? What?"

"You are dating a young man named Max, are you not?" he asks fearfully.

"I was, but he is destined to someone else..." She begins to sob again.

"Oh no, I fear you are wrong in your words, my lady. Unless..." He thinks carefully before speaking again. "Unless the girl has penetrated their defenses. Oh no, it can't be. Their parents must be alerted at once."

"Um, what are you talking about? And please don't call me lady, I prefer Liz. Their real parents? They're alive?!?" she manages to say between sobs.

"I guess I must inform you of what has been transpiring over the last few years. I am Xavier. I was sent here to protect the young princes and princess not too long ago. I am here to inform them of events on our home planet. The war is over. They are free to come home now."

She began to cry uncontrollably while she fell to the ground. "I knew this day would come at some point. It was good that I let him go to be with Tess."

Xavier helps her up, brushes the tears from her, face and begins again. "My lady, uh, I mean, Liz, did you just say Tess? Do not fret, my lady, he is yours in every way. Oh no, I fear the Princes and Princess are in grave danger. She is the daughter of the leader of our mortal enemy, the Montairians. If she is with them, they are in trouble. My lady, you must show me to where they are."

"I will in one sec. Just explain to me what you meant by 'he is yours in every way'?"

"His people have been watching him from afar. They have seen how their children react to you and your friends named Alex and Maria. You have their approval to be with their children. In fact the King and Queen wish for you and your friends to accompany the Princes and the Princess back to Kitaria. The King knows his children love you and your friends and wishes for the weddings to be on Kitaria."

"Wait a minute, weddings? I'm *sixteen* for Christ's sake!" Liz screams.

"I failed to mention that we can see the future. Watch." Xavier touches her and suddenly she sees...

FLASH

Max, Isabel, Micheal, Maria, Alex, and herself on Kitaria.

FLASH

Max and Liz, Micheal and Maria, and Alex and Isabel marrying in a traditional Kitarian ceremony.

FLASH

Liz holding a baby girl as Max walks over to her and hugs her.

END OF FLASH

"Now about Tess..."

She can clearly see the fear in his eyes when she glances at his face. It suddenly occurs to her that they are in front of the Crashdown and she turns her head because she hears yelling, only to see Maria, Alex, Isabel, Max, Micheal, and her. Liz suddenly tenses up when she sees that thing reaching for Max.

"Xavier, look." She points to the cafe, where the group is sitting.

Max is pacing back and forth. Tess touches his arm and reaches for his hand. He pushes her away and turns away from her while yelling. Maria begins to cry again while Micheal sits next to her, stroking her hair and holding her in his arms. She runs to the window and knocks on it to get her friends' attention.

Alex jumps up. "Look, it's Liz!" he screams as he races for the door. The others follow, all except for Tess, who begins to run in the other direction as she notices who is with Liz.

"Shit, he found me," she screams as she darts for the kitchen.

"Tess, where are you going?" Max yells at her as he makes his way towards the front door.

*******

Tess runs out the back door. Before she can get anywhere she is grabbed from behind and hit over the head. Once knocked out, a man takes out a phone and dials a number.

"Yes, sir, I have her. Come and retrieve her." He hangs up the phone.

"One down. Three to go."

*******

"LizzyIoughttabeathecrapouttayou!" Maria manages to say all in one breath. Even though she is out of breath, she runs over to where Liz is in front of the Crashdown and pulls her into a tight hug. Alex quickly joins them.

"Maria breathe, we have a more important matter to tend to now. I'm fine," Liz exclaims as she hugs her best friend as though they would never let go again.

"Liz, are you ok? You've been crying, I can tell. Wherehaveyoubeenyouscaredtheshitoutofallofus...IfIwasntaguyI'dhityourightnow." Alex exclaims as he picks Liz up and swings her around.

"Alex, I know, I know. Just put me down, I have something I have to tell you," Liz squeals.

"Who's this guy?" Micheal says in that always sarcastic tone of his.

"Max, Micheal, Is, this is..." She gets cut off before she can finish.

"Your majesty." He bows to Micheal and Max. "You have grown so much since I last saw you."

"Is this guy for real? Your majesty? Liz, what the fuck is going on here?" Micheal puts his hands in his pockets and gives Liz a questioning look.

"Liz, are you guys drunk or something? This is totally irrational, especially for you," Isabel said as she pulled Liz from Alex's arms and gave her a protective hug.

"No, it's not like that. Hey, where did Tess go? Shit, you have to get her, she's evil. She's here to kill you guys."

"My lady, calm yourself." Xavier stands there for a moment and closes his eyes. "She is no longer a problem, my people have her."

"Oh, thank god.," Liz says with a sigh of relief.

"I knew that chick always bugged me. She seemed to good to be true." Alex laughs as he scratches his head, while Micheal gives him an I'll-take-care-of-you-later look, which normally would have scared Alex, but considering Isabel is there, he isn't intimidated.

"Liz, maybe you should sit down, honey. You're obviously delusional. Here, have some cedar oil." Maria hands her the vile as she pushes her into a booth.

"Maria, I'm fine. Hear me out, will you? I'm not gonna sniff that crap. And I'm not sitting down not until after you guys listen to Xavier. Now sit your asses down before I sit them down for you!" Liz yells, and they all obey.

There's something different about Liz, almost like she's grown up overnight. Max is especially intrigued by her actions, even though he finds it hard to speak. This all seems a little too much for him to handle.

"My lady, I would appreciate if you did not raise your voice. This is all very new to all of you. Please sit down and calm yourself, while I explain what is going on the princes and the princess." Xavier looks at Liz with a pleading look in his eyes. She respects his wishes and takes a seat next to Max, but doesn't get too close.

Xavier raises his hands, cups them together, and closes his eyes. Suddenly a ball of light appears just above his hands. The ball expands into a large square with a picture in the middle of it. "That is your mother and father," he said, opening his eyes and looking at Max, Micheal, and Isabel. "Your parents sent you three and myself to Earth when the war started. I was 10 years of age at the time. My job was to protect you once we arrived on Earth. But that's when things went wrong. The Montairians shot down our fleet and our ship crashed into the desert not far from here."

"I thought the fourth pod was Tess's," Max speaks up. Liz turns her head to see him looking at her with hurt and bewilderment in his eyes.

"No, my lord, she is the daughter of the leader of our enemy. She was sent here to befriend you and make you believe you were of her race so that her people could pick you up and hold you for ransom to convince your parents to surrender to Nasedo and his people."

"Nasedo is a Montairian?" Liz asks in a calm tone.

"Yes, my lady, whatever he and Tess have told you is a lie. And judging from your question, I take it you have met her father?"

"Yes," Isabel says as she glances at Xavier. There's a familiarity to him, but she can't place it.

"Is, be quiet. We don't know if this guy is for real," Micheal says as he gives Xavier a dirty look. "How do we know we can trust you?"

With that, Xavier lowers his hands and walks towards Micheal slowly.

Micheal gets a fearful look in his eyes. Isabel thinks to herself, 'I haven't seen that look in his eyes since Hank hit him when we were little.'

Maria rises instinctively and stands in front of Micheal and says, "You're not gonna hurt him, are you?"

"Maria, Xavier won't hurt him. He'll be fine. Sit down. It's okay," Liz says.

"Yeah, cheesehead, I'm fine," Micheal says affectionately as he grabs her and pulls her back next to him in the booth.

"Suit yourself, Spaceboy," she smirks. He pulls away once he realizes he is touching her again. He fears that if he touches her too much he could hurt her like he did to Pierce.

The hurt in Maria's eyes becomes apparent once Micheal pulls away. She begins to cry and runs to sit in another booth. Liz gets up from where she is and sits next to Maria. Maria's tears become fewer as she realizes everyone is watching her. She sits up and grabs Liz's hand.

"I'm okay." She turns to Xavier. "You can continue."

"Oh yes, where was I? Ah yes, I remember now. I was going to prove to you that I am indeed who I say I am." He touches Micheal's arm and Micheal gets a flash.

FLASH

Max, Isabel and his parents standing in what looks like a mansion. Their mother is crying as a ship leaves the atmosphere. "My babies, I love you, remember that." She cries as bombs explode in the near distance.

FLASH

END OF FLASH

"Guys, he's for real." Micheal sits back with a shocked look on his face. "We're Kitarians, and you two are really my brother and sister. Our parents are alive. The war is over," He exclaims once he regains his bearings.

"Even as a young child you were skeptical of everything, Prince Micheal." Xavier smiles.

"Is that really my name?"

"Yes, and you are Princess Isabel. You are Prince Maxwell," he says as he points to Max and Isabel.

"Max, he's really our brother!" Isabel screams as she runs to Micheal and hugs him. "I always felt you were my brother, but now I know it's true." She has tears falling from her eyes.

Max jumps up and goes to sit opposite his brother and sister, as they all cry tears of joy. Liz looks at Max and tears begin to fall from her eyes again.

"Children, you can go home, but we must eliminate the threat first," Xavier says calmly.

"Eliminate the threat? What do you mean?" Maria questions with a hint of fear in her tone.
