~*~*~*~*~*~


Michael raised one eyebrow as he watched a very naked Maria walk towards him shaking the can of whipped cream.

"Are your ready for dessert Spaceboy?" Maria asked with a mischievous glint in her eye.

Michael squirmed as she squirted a tiny dollop of whipped cream onto his stomach. "Oh yeah baby!"

Maria leaned down and licked the cream off his stomach. "Yummy," she purred as she shook the can and began to draw a line down his stomach towards his strained erection before squirting a dab on the tip. "MMMMMM cream with cream, my favorite," she teased.

"Oh God," Michael murmured softly, squirming away from her delicate touches.

Maria smirked at her squirming lover and decided to make him beg a little. "Don't you like it Michael?" she teased softly.

"Ugh," he groaned as she pressed the whipped cream nozzle once more and his penis was coated in white goodness. "Not unless you eat every bite," he challenged.

Maria smiled as she whispered, "You know I always eat every last drop."

"I know you do baby. Just hurry up and be hungry, kay?" Michael whispered, pushing his pelvis up slightly towards her waiting lips.

Maria sat back and made a tsk tsk sound and teased with a wicked gleam in her eyes. "Now is that anyway to ask. Where are you're manners Michael. I didn't hear please."

Reaching up to grab her shoulders, Michael pulled her down to smear the whipped cream between their bodies. "Please," he growled as he stole the breath from her mouth.

Maria broke the passionate kiss and pushed herself away from Michael and gazed at the now smeared whip cream. "Now look what you did. I'm going to have to start all over again."

Maria patiently began encircling Michael's navel with whipped cream when he suddenly grabbed her shoulders and flipped her onto her back.

"No. It is my turn," Michael whispered as he leaned down and ravished Maria's lips with his own.

"But Michaellllllll!" whined Maria as she gasped for air. "I wanted to make this special for you. Please..." she begged softly as she brushed his hair from his face.

"Special?" he asked with a lilt in his voice. "How?"

"If you lie on your back and close your eyes you will find out just what I mean by special," Maria whispered suggestively as she gently nibbled on his ear.

Then she blushed and averted looking Michael in the eye. "It's just that today is your 'birthday' and you said you never had a birthday cake before or nothing and I just wanted to do something different for you." She rambled as her blushed deepened.

Michael kissed Maria gently and rolled over on his back. "Do what you please with me, I'm all yours."

"Really?" Maria asked, a little shocked that he would give up control so easily. She was overcome by just how much love and trust Michael had in her. "I love you so much Michael and I promise this will be a night we'll never forget."

"I trust... OH!" he yelped as she furrowed her brow in concentration and ran a long trail of whipped cream straight up his chest.

"I trust you too baby," Maria purred as she dipped her head and licked her way up his chest before stopping to kiss his lips. "Now where was I?" she teased before shaking the can and settling between his legs and eyeing his throbbing erections. "Oh now I remember," she teased as she sprayed a dollop of cream on the tip.

"Oh God, you are soooo bad," Michael growled as he watched her tickle his tip with her tongue.

"But I thought you loved me bad," Maria teased before taking the tip of his shaft in her mouth and sucking gently.

"If you keep doing that I'll love you any way you want to." Michael closed his eyes as Maria continued the slight up and down motion.

Michael's words were like music to Maria's ears and she hummed as she wrapped her hand around the base of his cock and pumped her hand up and down his length as she concentrated on the head. 'Cum for me Michael,' she silently urged.

Michael arched his back as he ran his hands along Maria's hips to cradle her a-ss. Pulling her towards him, he panted as he approached his climax, preparing to soar when suddenly his mind was stabbed with fiery sparks and one violent image assaulted his vision.

Maria gasped as Michael came in her mouth. That wasn't anything new to her; she had gone down on Michael and always swallowed. It was the sharp pain that shot through her head and the blinding light that made her gasp. Unable to control herself she staggered back and found herself collapsing on the bed as tremors took over her limbs. "Michael!" she cried in horror as she called out to him only to see a faint glow penetrate from his chest.

"Ma... Maria," he moaned weakly, fighting to turn against the sheets as the searing pain in his chest threatened to send him into the oblivion of unconsciousness. "Are you... are you okay?"

Maria looked up as she heard Michael call to her. Willing herself onto her hands and knees, she managed to crawl over to him before collapsing next to him. Weakly she reached out and touched him and her eyes opened wide in shock as she noticed the same faint glow penetrating from her fingertips. "Oh God Michael. What's happening to us?"

Michael looked down at the glow coming from his chest, not a strange occurrence considering his heritage, then noticed Maria's equally glowing fingers and gulped... he'd finally done it, he'd turned her.

Maria looked up at Michael and saw that he was just staring at her in shock. "Michael," she called, trying to get him to say something, anything.

"Maria, I think... I think you're an... an alien!" Michael said slowly, his eyes still focused on the blue light coming from her fingertips.

"ME!" Maria squeaked when she heard Michael's explanation, suddenly wishing he hadn't voiced an opinion. Looking down at her fingers before she looked back up at him. "Maybe this is some kind of sperm OD. I've heard stories of people having to have their stomach pump because they swallowed so much while giving head. Rod Stew..." Maria stopped rambling when she saw the light change from blue to red. "Oh s-hit, now it's changing colors."

"Damn girl," Michael said quickly, pushing himself across the bed away from her. "Get your freaky paws away from me!"

"PAWS!" Maria screamed. "Well if I have freaky paws as you so rudely pointed out it's all your fault bucko. You're the one with radioactive spunk!" she said as she followed Michael and jabbed him in the chest with a glowing finger. "Nice to know I can count on you when things get rough," she finished as the tears she had been fighting back finally spilled.

"What, I... damn," Michael finished, reaching out awkwardly to pull Maria to his chest. He knew she needed comforting, it wasn't her fault she was irresistible to his, err... 'charms'; but god damn it... this was just weird.

Maria sniffled and pushed away from Michael. "Don't think you aren't going to pay for the freaky paws comment," she said as she wiped her eyes. An idea came into her head and with a naughty gleam she said, "And now I have powers other than my usual sexual power to torment you."

"Powers? What... what ones do you think you got?" Michael asked nervously.

Maria shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. What do you think I might have picked up from you?" she asked as she stared down at her hands. They had stopped glowing, maybe she hadn't gotten any powers after all. "Or maybe I got nothing. Look no more glowing," she said as she held her hands up in front of his face.

"No more..." Looking at her once again normal hands Michael felt a sudden rush of longing for the new, improved Maria. "Let's see if we can make it come back."

Maria snorted. "Yeah that's going to happen. You called my hands freaky paws. The same hands that have caressed and loved every inch of your body, buddy." Glancing down she took in his renewed erection. "You want to me to help you with your little friend down there, you better make me feel awfully special and sexy." Settling back on the bed, she gave him a playful wink. "I'm ready to be serviced."

Michael growled low in his throat as he advanced upon her. "Anything to see you sparkling again."

Maria arched an eyebrow. "Well let's see if you can generate some sparkling in some place a little more interesting than my hands."

Michael stopped as his mouth lowered towards her breast. Unable to breathe, he glanced down at the waiting sanctuary trapped between her legs and licked his lips nervously. "You... you mean it?"

Maria gulped as she took in the look on her lover's face. He was nervous but she could see he was also even more turned on as his cock twitched visibly. Staring into his eyes, she whispered, "Well I always said you had an enchanted tongue. Get down there and see if you can spread the magic."

Michael raised an eyebrow at her forwardness and glanced down at her already moist mound. He'd never admit it to her but he always secretly liked this part.

Maria gasped as Michael tongue toyed with her tender bud. "OH GOD YES!" she cried as he bit her gently before soothing it with loving caresses. Damn he was always so good at this.

Michael smiled as he elicited a satisfied moan from his girlfriend, opening his eyes to ensure she was happy when he saw the eerie glow emanate from a new area.

"MMMMMMMichaellllllllll. Feels sooooo gooddddd!" she purred as Michael slowly slid his tongue inside of her tight slit as his thumb began to tease her c-lit. She gasped as suddenly the nubbin began to tingle. "Oh s-hit, I think it's workingggggggggg!" she cried as her hips bucked.

"Uh... yeah," Michael said hesitantly as he pulled back to stare at the clear blue light shining in his eyes. Maria moaned beneath him as he halted his ministrations, then slapped him sharply on the head when she felt her climax diminish. "Sorry, sorry!" he hurried, pushing himself back to the task at hand. It wasn't that he didn't enjoy it, getting her off had always been his best foreplay, it was just that he suddenly felt like he was f-ucking a Glow-Worm... it was... weird.

"Baby," Maria whimpered as Michael began to pay attention to her again. She could feel it happening, she was going to cum any second. Reaching down, she grabbed Michael's shoulder. "Ohmyohmyohmy!" she cried as her orgasm hit her and she felt her slit contract and pull on the fingers he had buried inside of her.

"Good?" Michael whispered against her chest as he detached his fingers from her center and slid along the bed.

Maria whimpered as Michael slipped his fingers out of her core and watched as he slid along the bed until they were face to face. She chuckled after a few seconds. "Well from that smug look I take it that you caused some sparks."

"Uh," he murmured, scratching his eyebrow as he thought of an excuse to pacify her. Sighing, he knew she'd see through him in a second and went with honesty. "Truth? Your little talent seems to have spread."

"Oh," Maria said as she reached out and stroked his cheek. Looking into Michael's eyes, she licked her lips and asked. "Does it bother you? Does it turn you off of me?" The freaky paws comment still nagged at her. Maybe she repulsed him now.

"Turn off? No... I was just wondering if we could try spreading the love. You know, you shouldn't be the only one that gets to glow," Michael said softly.

Maria moaned and her back arched as Michael toyed with her nipple. "An interactive light show could be interesting," she purred as she ran her fingers through his hair. "Damn Michael this feels so good."

"Mmm, you feel good," he moaned as he pulled her nipple between his teeth. Letting his hand trail across her abdomen, he slid his leg between hers, preparing to enter, when suddenly she bucked beneath him and cried out in obvious pain.

Michael stopped a split second before thrusting into Maria and rolled off of her to sit beside her. His heart broke as he watched Maria grab her head as the pain blinded her. Reaching out, he gathered her in his arms, unable to think of anything else to do.

"G...God... it... Michael..." Maria moaned, writhing against his chest. "I can... I can feel you... I can feel you in me!"

Michael wiped the hair from Maria's forehead. "What do you mean you can feel me in you?" he asked when he was hit a thought. Reaching down he concentrated on the bedspread to change its color but nothing happened. "Oh s-hit," he said as his worst fear came true—he had transferred his powers to Maria while making love to her.

"Ah!" Maria cried, burying her head against his chest as the pain took on a stabbing persona and drove into her brain. "Get out, get out, get out..." she moaned.

Michael rocked Maria in his arms. Each tear she shed felt like a knife cutting through him. "It's going to be alright Maria," he whispered and then did something he had never done before. He prayed that the pain would stop because he didn't know how to fix this and he was sure Max didn't either.

Maria dropped her hands from her head to press them against Michael's chest. She just needed to breathe, just needed to push through the pain. She screamed as a sudden pulse of Michael's emotion jolted through her body... he was afraid... he was afraid of her.

Michael tried to hold Maria tighter but her hands pushed him away. 'Think!' he shouted to himself. "Baby, I don't know what to do? Do you think I should call Max?" he asked.

"I think... I think you should," she said softly, moving away from Michael to slither across the bed. Wrapping her arms around her body, she cried softly as the absence of his heated body only caused her further pain.

Michael reached over and picked up the phone, he didn't need to be told twice. Punching in Max's number, he didn't even bother with pleasantries. "Max, get over here now. Maria's in pain and it's you know what related," he said in one breath and then hung up, not bothering waiting for an answer. Jumping up, he rushed over to the chest of drawers. No way was Max catching them naked and at least getting himself and Maria dressed would occupy his mind.

"Here baby, put this on," he encouraged Maria as he held out one of his T-shirts for her. She refused to budge, her shoulders shaking as she sobbed quietly into his sheets.

"It hurts so much Michael," Maria wailed as she clenched at his bed sheets as the pain intensified. She flinched slightly when she felt his hands on her body but didn't fight him as he slipped the shirt over her nude form. She didn't know what was worse, the pain from what was happening to her or the pain in her heart that Michael was afraid of her.

"It's okay, it's okay," Michael rushed to reassure her as he forced a pair of shorts across her ankles. "Max is coming, Max will fix it."

Maria whimpered as Michael guided the shorts up her legs. "Michael," she whispered as she curled into a ball after the shorts were in place. "It hurts so much," she cried as she hugged her knees to her chest.

His hand grazed her shoulder, helplessly trying to comfort her when she tensed and jolted away from him. "Don't touch me if you're that afraid."

Michael stared at her, his mouth hanging open. "What are you talking about Maria?"

"You… I'm talking about you," she ground out, tears washing over her cheeks as she pulled further away across the bed, "I can feel it Michael," she sobbed. "You're afraid… of me."

Michael shook his head, preparing to deny Maria's accusation but stopped when he realized that she would know he was lying. Taking a deep breath, he touched her shoulder. "I am afraid Maria. I'm afraid of what is happening to you, of what I exposed you to," he admitted before gathering her in his arms. "This is my worst fear coming true Maria. That who I am, what I am, is somehow hurting you."

"So you're not... you're not... AHH!!!" Maria clutched onto Michael's chest as another bolt of pain seized her head and she convulsed into darkness.

Max and Isabel didn't bother knocking as they rushed into the apartment. "Michael, Maria!" he called out as he and his sister exchanged worried glances.

"Max! In here!" Michael bellowed as he cast a worried glance down at his unconscious girlfriend.

Max and Isabel rushed into Michael's bedroom and stopped when they saw the other alien cradling the small unconscious blond in his arms. "Oh my god, what happened to her?" Isabel asked, a chill running down her spine.

"Does it matter?" Michael snapped, obviously upset. "Fix her."

Max walked over to the bed. "Michael you have to calm down, I can't help her if I don't know what happened to her. Tell us what happened so we can help Maria," he urged as he watched Isabel hurry out of the room and return with a wet facecloth to gently wipe the other girl's face.

Chewing his lip as he smoothed Maria's hair off her forehead, Michael bowed his head away from Max. "I don't know what happened, okay? We were just... touching, and then she got this pain. Oh... and she glowed."

"Glowed?" Max asked in shock. "What do you mean? Where was she glowing Michael? What were you doing when she started to glow?"

"God damn it, I told you. I was touching her and she started to glow, alright?" Michael moved away from Maria reluctantly as Isabel wiped the girl's forehead with the damp cloth. He stood to face Max. "What the hell difference does it make where she was glowing?"

Max grabbed Michael by the arm and pulled him away from the bed. "Because I don't know where to focus Michael. I want to help her but you have to tell me what was going on. I don't know where to concentrate on to help her. Was it her heart like you that time at the reservation?"

"No it wasn't her heart, it was..." Michael glared at Max and then swore under his breath. "It was her c-lit, alright? Happy?"

Max blushed. "Please say that you are joking Michael," he begged while casting a glance at the girl in question. "Are you sure? I mean maybe it was the light reflecting off the mirror or something," he asked hopefully before looking at the other boy and confessing. "I don't think I can do it Michael. I don't think I can, umm, concentrate on that part of her body."

"Deadly serious Maxine. But why don't you just concentrate on her head, that's where the pain seems to be?"

"Don't call me Maxine," Max hissed as he looked back over to the girl on the bed. "Did she say anything at all that I should know? Did she feel any different... other than the glowing stuff that is?"

"No, she said nothing, she... wait." Michael pushed Max towards the bed as he looked down at Maria. "She did say something. She said she could feel me, feel me in her." Michael looked at Max who was blushing from the comment. "Get your mind out of the gutter." Michael tapped on Max's head. "She could feel me in here."

Isabel looked up from where she sat next to Maria. "Do you think it's some kind of extreme alien bonding thing? Maybe Michael and Maria have unknowingly connected to each other in a way none of us have with another," she suggested as she stroked the quivering girl.

"No, no way... I mean, if we could connect, then wouldn't Liz..." Max didn't finish his sentence as he heard Michael growling beside him.

"I could give a rat's a-ss about Parker! Fix Maria!" Michael snapped. God, typical Max, take the problem at hand and turn it around to be all about him and Perfect Parker while Maria lies there in pain. Sometimes Max had his head so far up his a-ss it was embarrassing.

"Fine, fine! Jeez, Michael you don't have to get so... I'm fixing it!!!" Max shied away from Michael as the larger aliens ears turned a deep shade of crimson. Bending over Maria, he placed his hands on either side of her head and closed his eyes.

Maria gasped as her eyes flew open to see Max leaning over her, cradling her head. She blinked away her tears as her eyes locked with Michael's and mouthed. "I'm sorry." Before slipping back into blackness.

"Maria! Maria!" Michael pushed Isabel aside as he supported her limp body in his lap. "Maxwell, I thought you were going to heal her?"

Michael never heard Max's answer as his eyes began to focus on a blind light that radiated from Maria's chest and he winced as he felt his heart begin to beat faster than normal. The last thing he saw was the same light coming from his own chest, mingling with Maria's before darkness claimed him too.

"Umm, Max?" Isabel said timidly, pointing her finger at the blue-tinged light swirling around the couple. "I don't think you helped."
~*~*~*~*~*~


Maria turned and saw Michael standing behind her. "You came," she whispered as she crossed the pink desert floor and embraced her mate.

Michael looked around the unfamiliar landscape. "Uh, Maria?" he asked slowly, returning her embrace and kissing her lightly on the cheek. "Where the hell are we and... why does it have to be pink!"

Maria looked around. "I'm not sure but if I have to be here I'm happy you're here with me. This is so strange Michael, the last thing I remember was feeling Max trying to heal me but... it felt like my body knew it wasn't you and rejected him or something. Does that make any sense?" she asked.

"I don't know... I don't understand anything that happened. You were glowing, then you started saying I was in you? What did you feel?"

"I felt your fear," Maria said as she sat down on the ground and pulled him down to sit next to her. "Then everything went black but now... now I feel... at peace. Like this is something that was meant to happen. How about you, what do you feel?"

"Uh, kinda weird and maybe a little lost, but good too, you know?" Michael smiled as he reached for Maria's hand. "Safe."

"Yeah safe is a great way to describe this feeling," she agreed before crawling into Michael's lap and resting her head on his shoulder. "I can feel it, you're not afraid."

"I was never afraid," Michael said softly. "Not of you." He scratched his eyebrow as he looked around thoughtfully. "Now when Maxwell finds out I ditched him and Isabel... that might be something to fear."

"I forgot about Max and Isabel," she admitted before looking up. "What did you tell them?"

Michael's eyes darted around, he was unable to look at her in fear of her reaction. "Well, I told them that I was touching you when this happened."

"Isabel thought this was some kind weird alien connection, and Max couldn't see how since him and Liz haven't experienced anything like it." Michael rolled his eyes at how narrow-minded Max was when it came to him and Liz.

Maria groaned. "You told him you were touching me!" she cried as she buried her face in his chest. "Please tell me you didn't tell him about my new trick." She looked up when she thought about what he had just said and snorted. "Gee I can just imagine Liz's reaction when she finds out. I'm the nothing special of the group and now I have a glow in the dark c-lit."

"Liz can bite your dark c-lit for all I care." Michael wrinkled his nose as he heard his own words. "Okay, that is so not what I meant."

Maria chuckled. "I guess that stereotype is true about guys liking to watch girls together huh?" she teased before wondering. "So do you think Isabel is right, that this is some kind of alien bonding thing? I mean I've always felt this connection to you Michael, ever since our first road trip."

Michael shrugged, "Maybe, I do believe we may have some kind of connection. You keep me grounded. I guess the first time I really felt it was at Atherton's."

He then looked around at the abstract setting, "Whatever it is, we need to find away to get back to our bodies soon. I'm sure Max and Isabel have probably alerted the others by now."

Maria nodded her head in agreement. "Ok, so how do we get back into our bodies? How did we get out of them in the first place? How did we begin this bonding thingie and what do we have to do to complete it?"

“Woah, question much?” Michael smiled at the instant pout that clouded Maria’s face. “Why don’t we just look around a bit? If I know Max, he’s already got Liz and Alex churning the brain power on this.”

Maria wrinkled her nose at him. "Fine Sherlock, what are we looking for?"

“How the hell…” Michael stopped when he saw that Maria was truly concerned with finding out where they were. “Why don’t we look around a bit, see if we recognize something?”

Maria nodded her head. "Alright," she said as she stood up alongside Michael and slipped her hand inside his. "Do you think we should create a landmark so we know where we started from?"

"Okay, well..." Michael looked around the barren landscape. "There's nothing to use, I could just..." He pulled down the zipper of his jeans.

Maria's eyes widened and then she smirked. "Michael, I don't think you want to go bare a-ss in this sun. You could get a sunburn someplace you wouldn't like," she teased as she watched him slide his pants down his legs and give her a private show.

"Who says we have to go anywhere? Looking around can wait, we could just make our mark here in the sand first." Michael leaned over his girlfriend, chasing her lips as she frowned in protest.

"Oh god you want to have sex. What, do you walk around with a 24 hour boner or something?" Maria teased with a laugh as she caught a glimpse of Michael's erection. Smiling, she pulled back and yanked off her shirt. "I think we need to join a twelve step program when we get back. We're addicted to sex," she told him before reaching for her shorts. "Not that I'm complaining or anyth.... s-hit Michael, these are the clothes you put on us before the others got there. You don't think that if we strip here that we are...." Maria let Michael finish the sentence in his head.

"Naked on the bed?" Michael pursed his lips as he thought about the chance that Max and Isabel were trying to revive a very naked alien and his girlfriend. It would be embarrassing no doubt... to Max at least. "F-uck 'em," Michael growled, smiling as he reached for Maria's shorts.

"I prefer if you would f-uck me." Maria taunted as she helped Michael get out of her shorts. Reaching out she stroked his erection. "Let's try not to blind them though. I will never live down a glowing c-lit," she told him before crushing their lips together.

"I'll see what I can do," Michael murmured into her hair, already focusing his hands on massaging her soft breasts.
~*~*~*~*~*~


Isabel eyes grew wide and she slapped her brother's arm to get his attention away from the phone he was speaking into. "Max... Max I think Michael and Maria are going to have... oh my god I can't watch this," she cried in disgust as she ran out of the bedroom muttering to herself. "They are the horniest kids in the history of horny kids."

"What? Damn it!" Max stared in horror as Michael pushed Maria's shorts off and then promptly climbed onto her still sleeping body. "I've got to stop... oh God no!" A bright blue light beamed out from between the writhing bodies and Max screamed. "My eyes! My eyes!"

"Max!" Liz cried as she went rushing towards her soul mates' shouts. She came to a skidding stop when she was hit with a blinding light coming from the writhing bodies on the bed. She raised her hand to shield her eyes as Michael rolled them and a stream of bright blue light hit her full force.

"Liz?" Isabel called as she stepped back towards the room. "Where did you..." She stopped in the doorway as her brother and his girlfriend were bathed in the piercing light. She turned away just before the light reached out to her.

Max forced himself away from the tangled bodies on the bed and called out to his soul mate and sister. "Don't go into the light. Whatever you do, don't go into the light. Fight it."

"Max!" Isabel yelled to her brother as she shaded her eyes and glanced in to see Liz frozen in place. "Max you have to stop them before he... oh God!" Watching Michael move towards the climatic conclusion, Isabel was sure she was going to throw up.

Max saw the look of horror on his sister's face and that Liz was frozen to the spot. With the last burst of energy in him he dove and knocked both girls down as suddenly the room was engulfed in white and blue light. "What's happening?!!" Liz screamed as she covered her face with the sweater she was wearing around her shoulders.

"I uh... I think..." Isabel finally took a good look at Liz who was now lying beneath her. "Why are you dressed like the girl from Flashdance?"

"Huh." Liz said with a confused look on her face. "I'll answer that if you tell me why you are dressed like Cleopatra." She said before turning to look at Max and added. "And you look like Indian Jones."

Isabel looked at her brother and started giggling when she saw the well-worn hat tipped low over his eyes. "Where the hell..." She stopped as the gold crown framing her head tipped forward into her eyes. "Ouch, that pinches!"

Max looked at the three of them before chancing a glance at the bed and saw Michael and Maria snuggling together, fast asleep. "Son of a bitch. We got sucked into their fantasies somehow and ended up dressed like the people in them."

"You mean Maria thinks Jennifer Beals and Indiana Jones make a good couple?" Liz asked as she looked down at her outfit. Glancing up at Max, she grinned as she saw the whip hanging from his belt. "I tend to agree."

"Actually the Flashdance and Cleopatra thing is Michael's. He kinda let it slip once that he, well he got turned on when watching those movies. Flashdance I can understand but he has this really weird Egyptian hang-up that he's in total denial about. I'm hoping Indiana Jones is Mar... wait, that's Michael's too. He always wanted to play that as kids," Max rambled as he ran his finger along his whip.

"Okay so what are you saying?" Isabel interrupted, gold bracelets jangling on her arms as she stood. "We are somehow living out Michael's fantasy? His..." she gulped as she looked over at the naked but peaceful lovers on the bed, "...sexual fantasies?"

Liz shook her head. "Not living out, just that I think when we got hit with that… that light that we kinda just were part of the trickle down effect or something. I mean I know I'm not sexually aroused," she reasoned. "What about the two of you?"

"Oh please," Isabel muttered. "When have you ever been..."

"Isabel!" Max snapped.
~*~*~*~*~*~


Maria yawned and stroked Michael's arm. "Michael," she called out, trying to wake him. She was just getting ready to say his name again when a shadow appeared over them. Slowly she looked up to the source of the shadow and screamed. "RATH!"

"Dude," the big alien drawled slowly, surveying the scene before him. His eyes raked over Michael a little too slowly for comfort before settling on Maria. A sly smirk scratched across his face. "Dudette."

Maria blushed and reached for her shirt to cover herself. "What do you want?" she asked before mentally slapping herself. She knew what he wanted, who was she kidding?

Rath laughed slightly as he shrugged out of his jean vest. Nudging Michael's foot with his boot he growled, "Move over man, let someone else have a go at her."

Michael winced and opened his eyes slightly. "Maria, stop nudging me. Contrary to what you think I don't walk around with a 24-hour erection. I need to rest for a few minutes." He said as he laid his head back down only to raise it a split second later when he heard the sounds of a zipper and saw his dupe standing there before them, buck naked with a raging hard on and leering at Maria. "No f-ucking way."

Rath place a foot on Michael's cheat, pinning him down before Michael was able to get up. Rath leered down towards Michael before he spoke, "Hey one of yous invited me in here. So since I'm here, I'm going to do what I do best, yo! So you f-uck off Buckwheat!"

Maria looked at the two naked aliens and let Rath's words wash over her. What did he mean by one of them inviting him? Instinctively she scooted a little away from him and accidentally spread her legs. She saw the now familiar blue light coming from her c-lit and watched as it landed on the punked version of her Michael. "Oh god, my c-lit is an alien homing beacon," she cried in shame as she cupped her hands over her honey curls.

"What is it?" Michael asked as he moved to comfort an obviously distraught Maria while valiantly trying to conceal himself from Rath.

Maria whimpered. "I think I called Rath," she admitted. "I think I called to him with this." She told him as she lifted her hands and the blue light was visible again. "I think that's why I'm glowing."

"You got that right, glowing blue bitch. And there is only one way to get rid of it." Rath flicked his tongue wildly before licking his lips. Slowly he kneeled down on one knee and reached out for Maria's glowing c-lit.

Michael watched the pierced freaky version of himself going for Maria and pulled her closer to him. "Stay away from her, she's mine." He winced when he heard those words come out of his mouth. He was in trouble now.

"She's who's ?" Maria yelped, beating on her boyfriend's chest while she simultaneously used a hand to keep Rath at bay. "I will have you know that I am no one's, Mr. Guerin, and I will not be treated as some token trinket that you can just toss around as yours and tell everyon..." She stopped abruptly as Rath broke free to attack her lips.

Michael went to yank Maria away from Rath but stilled when he felt a rough hand squeeze his cock. He looked up to see Rath break his kiss from Maria and give him smile and lick his lips. "Oh s-hitttt," Michael cried as Rath began to pump his length.

Rath grinned as he nodded at Maria. Gesturing to Michael who was quickly losing his slight hold on sanity, he prodded her to join in. "Come on sweet cheeks, jump in there. I think ol' Mikey'd like it better with three."

Maria's eyes nearly bugged out of her head as she watched her boyfriend fall backwards and lie on the ground as Rath never stopped his ministrations on his hot dick. Maybe this was part of that intense alien ritual thingie that Isabel mentioned. Well who was she to argue with it? Grinning, she crawled up to Michael and straddled his head so her dripping pussy hovered over his eager mouth. "Oh Michael, let's see what you can do to make up for that 'she's mine' comment," she teased before lowering herself a little.

Eyes blurred with raging desire, Michael reached up with his tongue to stroke his dripping girlfriend. The taste of her dancing across his lips coupled with the persistent pumping of Rath's fist against his dick overwhelmed his senses and he clenched his fists as he felt his chest tighten.

"GO G!" Rath shouted as he watched Michael eat out Maria's glowing pussy. Damn he couldn't wait for his turn at the tasty treat. Speaking of tasty, he grinned and lowered his mouth to Michael's cock and ran his tongue along his length and lapped up the precum at the tip causing the other boy to buck hard against him.

Maria moaned Michael quickened his pace against her. Tunneling her fingers into his hair, she held on as her body quivered violently.

Rath pulled his mouth away from Michael's cock as he watch Maria cum. He waited until his dupe swallowed the last drop before slapping her on her a-ss. "Turn around honey whore and give some lips service to your boy toy."

"Are you kidding me?" Maria flipped her hair over her shoulder as she looked back on the boy with disdain. "You have to prove yourself worthy before I'm ever touching that ." She gestured to his still limp dick and then turned back to kiss Michael.

Rath roared before yanking Maria away from a still dazed Michael and settled her on her hands and knees in front of his dupe and shoved her head towards his lesser half's cock. "Suck him off then and I'll take care of you," he instructed, not waiting for a reply before running his tongue along her still throbbing c-lit.

Rath got the answer he needed when Maria opened her legs wider and pushed her aching pussy in Rath's face.
~*~*~*~*~*~


Max came running out of the room after Liz and Isabel. "What the hell are they doing?" he asked as he looked at the other two. "And why the hell did Maria just scream Rath?"

"Oh My God!" Liz's face went white. "Max, you got him help them. Maybe, maybe Rath is the cause of all of this. He's doing to something to her, she's convulsing!"

Isabel snorted. "Yeah they're convulsions of orgasmic proportions," she said before chancing a glance back inside the room. "Ok I will give you the Rath being with them though. Looks like they have decided to share by the way Maria is wiggling her a-ss as if somebody is touching her and it's not Michael."

"Isabel, I think you are wrong. Look at Maria's face, she looks like she's in pain with her face all scrunched up like that. That is not how someone looks when they are having the Big O." Liz blushed as she said 'Big O', she was too lady like to use such language. "Isabel, how about dreamwalking them? Maybe that will give us a clue," Liz asked hopefully.

Isabel had to bite her tongue not to laugh at Liz. As if the girl who's underwear could only be described as big a-ss bloomers would have a clue what somebody experiencing the Big O would look like. Suddenly her suggestion sunk in. "You want me to dreamwalk them? Are you insane, I'll never be able to look at them again without blushing, you want me to see the whole thing?"

"Just a peek!" Liz turned to Max for support. "Come on Max, I mean... she looks like he's torturing her!"

"Ahmmm, Liz, I think Isabel is right. I wouldn't come near them with a ten foot pole." Max wished he had lied to Liz, but he knew Isabel was right. He just wished Liz didn't give him that look of betrayal. Max reached to grab Liz by the arm, but he was too late, she was already in the room, heading towards the sleeping couple.

Liz stormed into the room and stopped when she reached the bed. She had to squint as the light coming from Maria's core became stronger. She would help her friend and knelt down beside her. She didn't care what Max and Isabel said. Just look at her. Her legs are trembling and her breathing is labored. She would do whatever she had to to help her and moving her head a little to get a better look at where the light was coming from, maybe she could do something to make it stop... "Ahhhhhhhh" Liz screamed when suddenly she was hit in the face with a gooey white substance. "Max... Max..." she screamed as she ran outside again. "Maria has one of those… those things in her that Grant had. Look it's white instead of blue," she said as pointed to her cheek.

Isabel snorted. "She's your girlfriend, you explain it to her."
~*~*~*~*~*~


Maria hips started to buckle as her orgasm took her to another level. Her vaginal muscles spasmed as it milked Rath's cock, riding him harder and faster. She began to see stars when Michael started to f-uck her mouth, making her take him deeper in her throat.

Maria bucked hard against Rath as she came. Damn, hadn't she said he wasn't worthy a few minutes ago and now she was riding him while blowing Michael. Slipping her hand down, she cupped Michael's balls and massaged them, triggering his release as she greedily drank ever last drop.

The insane game of Twister continued on the bed as Rath released himself with a heavy sigh and collapsed against the pair in a tangle of limbs. "Whoa baby, you got some moves."

"You have some moves too," Maria said with a chuckle as she collapsed next to Michael and snuggled closer to him. Looking down she sighed. "Well that didn't do it. Look, I'm still glowing," she said as she opened her legs and the blue light shot out from her pussy. "What the heck do we do now?" she asked.

"What? You want the light gone?" Rath asked, scratching his eyebrow in trademark Michael fashion. "Why didn't you say so, baby?"

Michael sat up a little and looked at his girlfriend. Part of him didn't want to stop it. She was his mate and this glowing stuff was like marking her. The primal warrior inside of him wanted the world to see she was his but he realized it would be a bit difficult to explain it if every time she crossed her legs a blue light shot out from her core. Looking down at her, he kissed her tenderly on the lips before turning back to Rath. "What do we need to do?"

Rath thought about it for a moment while looking at his dupe. He could really make it worth his while with the two; he never knew they could be as horny as he was. Thinking about them suddenly got him hard again. Rath mischievously grinned when he saw the Maria chick licking her lips. Moving closer to her, Rath placed his raging cock in front of Maria's face. Without missing a beat, Maria automatically open her mouth, taking him all in. Letting out a pleasure-filled howl, Rath enjoyed the moment.

Michael roared. "How the hell is that supposed to help?" he shouted. He didn't like seeing Maria sucking Rath off, especially if he wasn't involved somehow.

"Help? Oh, you wanted me to help her now !" Rath swallowed a grin as he looked a Michael. "In a minute dude, kinda occupied here."

"No Asswipe, we meant later," Michael hissed as he pushed Rath away. "Now you tell us what we need to do or I'm going to pound you into the sand."

"Like you could pound me..." Rath stopped as he heard Michael's deep growl. "Fine, fine," he relented, throwing his hands up. "If you want to fix her you just have to grant her one unfulfilled need. Easy."
~*~*~*~*~*~


Liz whipped her face off with the tissue that Isabel offered. She heard everything they said, but she didn't believe them. There was no way Maria just got off without being touched. It just didn't sound right. It was the muffled sounds of whimpering that brought their attention back to the sleeping pair.

The three carefully made their way to the door and peeked inside. Liz gasped when she saw Maria on her back with her hands between her legs playing with her c-lit, causing the light coming from her to flicker like a strobe light.

"Max!" Liz cried helplessly. "Look, she's torturing herself now!"
~*~*~*~*~*~


Rath and Michael looked at the masturbating girl. "See G... the bitch needs us to kick it to her. So are you gonna help me fulfill her or what dickwad."

"No way her unfilled desire is a threesome," Michael scoffed at his twin before glancing at his girlfriend. She moaned in frustration as she was unable to satisfy herself. Michael swallowed deeply as he looked back at Rath. "Well... maybe we could try," he said, shrugging slightly.

Rath howled in anticipation. "Bitchen, well from the feel of her she has an elastic pussy and can handle the two of us," he said as he slapped Michael on the shoulder before reaching down and pulling Maria's hand away from her core. "Whacha say honey whore. Double the pleasure or what."

Maria nodded fiercely at what Rath had said. She looked up at Michael with pleading eyes. He had to understand that she could never do this in real life, but in here it was something different. She just wanted him to grant her this one wish. In her mind and heart, Rath could never replace Michael, but rather she always thought of him as the animalistic Michael, a coin with two faces.

Michael lay down next to Maria and kissed her, whispering in her mouth, "I love you," before mounting her, slipping his cock into her waiting passage. He slowly thrust into her to prepare her for what was about to happen. Gently he rolled to the side and hooked her leg over his hip as he watched Rath lay down behind her. He sucked in a deep breath when he felt his dupe's dick begin to slip in beside his. "Are you alright?" he asked Maria.

"Mmm," she moaned in ecstasy-tinged pain. "It feels... it feels…" Her words faded as both boys pushed into her simultaneously and her world exploded.

Maria sat up straight in bed; eyes open wide. Whipping the sweat that accumulated on her forehead Maria tried to calm her labored breathing. The warm touch of Michael's strong hands on her naked back made her turn to the naked figure lying next to her. A whispered gasp escaped Maria’s lips.

"Liz!" she gasped as her eyes focused and the others came into view. "Max... Isabel," she cried as she vainly attempted to cover her nudity with her hands.

"M... Maria?" Liz asked, trembling beside Max. "Are you okay? You looked like you were in pain, you were screaming, and rolling, and... Oh." Liz stopped as she saw a shy smile cross her best friend's face and she snuggled closer to Michael.

Maria smiled. "Never better but I think the three of you should get out of here before Michael wakes up and finds you," she said. Glancing down she saw that her c-lit wasn't glowing and sighed in relief, well at least that was back to normal.

"But Maria-" Liz wasn't able to finish what she wanted to say before Max pulled her out of the room. She was finally able to get her arm away from Max's grasp when they were outside in the parking lot. "Max... what did you do that for?" Liz questioned angrily.

Max sighed in frustration, how could Liz be so smart about some things and completely clueless about others, especially something like sex. "Because I don't want to be blown to kingdom come when Michael comes to. He's very... primal when it comes to Maria and... and we weren't needed."

Isabel just had to roll her eyes. Of all the people Max had to fall in love with. "C'mon, lets just go before we have to hear them at it again." Isabel decided to sit in the front passenger seat since Liz would need the alone time to think.

"Hear them at it?" Liz squeaked. "You don't think Michael is going to torture Maria again. We have to do something!" Liz said as she struggled against Max. "Tell her Max, tell Isabel that we have to save Maria from whatever sick torture Michael is subjecting her to."

"Are you going to explain it to her?" Isabel snapped as she stared at Max. When Max blushed and bowed his head, she whipped around in the seat to stare at Liz. "It wasn't torture brainiac, Michael just f-ucked Maria's brains out... and she liked it."

Liz gasped at Isabel's comment. She looked over to Max. "Is that what you think too Max?" she asked before shaking her head at her soul mate's sister. "You're wrong Isabel. Maria was in pain, she was being tortured. Besides lovemaking is sweet and tender with the man on the top, not what they were doing to Maria. Right Max."

Max couldn’t answer. He couldn’t even look at his girlfriend. He didn’t want to be the person to ruin her innocence, but he wished she was a little less naive about these kind of things, it would make his life easier. Max reached out and pulled Liz into an embrace then kissed her on the forehead. “Don’t worry about them Liz. They’ll be ok. Promise.”
~*~*~*~*~*~


Maria squirmed a little and winced as the pain between her legs began to burn. Okay that had been f-ucking amazing but damn she was sore now, she just knew she would be walking funny tomorrow. Sighing she snuggled closer to Michael to await him waking up. Well it was well worth it, she thought as she kissed her sleeping boyfriend. Maria was delightfully surprised when he kissed her back and pulled her on top of him. Their kisses deepened and lightened with speed and desire. They finally broke for the need to breathe. Maria laid her head on Michael's shoulder as his hand softly caressed her bare back. "I can't believe you just lay there, pretending to be asleep."

"Well I had to or I would have been tempted to shake it at Liz just to piss Max off," he said with a chuckle. God how Max put up with her was beyond him.

“I’ll have a talk with her. I think she’s still very confused. Oh My God. Michael, do you think they know what happened?!”

"Maria do you really want to explain what hot sex is like between two people to that one. Let Max deal with her, he's the fool who wants to live with little Miss Priss," he said before kissing her. "Besides we have us to talk about. Are you alright?"

"Me?" Maria smiled against his chest; she loved it when he was worried about her. "I'm great, sore, but in a good way." She slowly lifted her head so that she could get a good look at him before she asked, "Are you ok with what happen... in there?"

Michael looked at Maria. "I'm not sure... I mean how am I suppose to feel about it Maria. I mean it's Rath for crying out loud," he admitted.

Maria sat up so that she was straddling Michael. She pulled him up in the sitting position, then framed his face with her hands. Looking deeply into his golden honey eyes, she started to speak, "Michael, you know I love you right?" Satisfied with his nod, she started to explain, "I would never cheat on you, well not on purpose anyways. And I would never be comfortable enough to be shared with anybody other than you. Although you and Rath are two very different people, but you both came from the same origin. So in essence, you two are the same. He can never be you. To me he's a naughtier, rougher, more boyish version of you. You, but not you, kinda like a coin with two faces."

Maria trailed her hands along Michael's chest as she spoke, biting her lip as she hoped he'd accept her reasoning. Her anxiousness showed in her demeanor, Michael jumping back as sparks flew from her fingertips to mark his skin.

"S-hit baby." Michael yelped as he moved away from Maria a little and looked at his slightly burnt chest. He saw the threat of tears in her eyes and scooted closer again. "It's ok Maria, it doesn't hurt... I just forgot about this. We still have to figure out how you got my powers and how I can get them back."

Maria's lip trembled as she spoke up. "Should we call..." She stopped as she heard Michael growl.

Michael didn't like the thought of Rath being anywhere near her at the moment. He understood, but that didn't mean he had to like it. But he didn’t know what else to do. Max tried to help them earlier, but that didn’t do any good. If it weren’t for Rath, Maria would still be glowing.

"Okay, do it," he said reluctantly. "Call Rath."

Maria chewed on her lower lip, she knew Michael didn't want Rath here and a part of her didn't want him either. Where they had just been was one thing, but in the real world, she didn't think it was such a great idea but it was the only thing that made sense. "How do you think we call him? We don't exactly have a number for him."

Michael sighed, "Maybe we should try to go to sleep for a little while then maybe he'll come to us like he did before. It's possible that between me and you we can reach him even if he's awake."

Maria nodded her head. "Ok, that sounds good." Maria agreed as she snuggled next to Michael and winced slightly. "Besides I'm a little sore but in a good way, a very good way."

"Well we don't have to do anything, especially with Rath," he grumbled. He just wasn't too thrilled about Rath being around Maria. He sighed, but he'd do anything to help her. He loved her.

Their eyes had just drifted closed when the burly alien appeared at the foot of their bed. "Well f-uck me stupid and call me Michael... she actually liked it." Rath's lip curled into a smile as he stared down at Maria and Michael lying on the bed. He couldn't help but salivate as he thought about slipping his dick into her tight little pussy once more.

Maria gasped as she looked up to see Rath standing there staring at them. Cocking an eyebrow she smirked and asked. "So do you always travel au natural or are we just the lucky ones?"

"I don't know baby, you feel lucky?" Rath smiled as he heard Michael growl beneath his breath. What did he have to complain about, he'd get his as soon as the little lady was satisfied?

Michael snarled at his dupe. "You ain't touching her again! She's off limits to you dick-wad!" He hissed. "We just want information from you. I transferred my powers to Maria and we want to know how to reverse it. So just tell us how we fix this or I'll kick your naked a-ss from here back to New York!"

"Oh damn... I'm shaking in my boots." Rath looked down at his feet. "Hey wait! I'm not wearing any boots." He stared at Michael firmly. "Move off her or I'm not helping."

Maria reached up to Michael. "I can't Michael," she whispered before looking back at Rath. "No more, I can't take anymore. I'm too sore," she begged, there had to be something else they could do.

"Oh come on darlin', you mean to tell me you didn't like it?" Rath asked.

Michael hopped up from the bed and advanced on his dupe until he had him pushed up against the wall and got into his face. He froze when he felt their cocks brush against each other and felt sparks from the brief contact. "No... no f-ucking way," he said in disbelief.

"Michael," Maria called from behind him. "Michael what is it?"

Rath looked at his dupe and then down at their dicks. Snorting he pushed his hips forward and watched as sparks crackled from the simple touch. "Damn this just keeps getting better and better," he said as he watched Michael's face before looking over his shoulder to Maria. "Don't worry Sugar, looks like you can lay back and rest. This is between me and my lesser half."

"What? You... him... both… what? Huh?" Maria was lost for words. All she could think of was two sparkling dicks in front of her.

"No baby, no, nothing's happening, we're not... oh!" Michael groaned as Rath flipped around to push him up against the wall. Damn... Maria seemed to enjoy herself before but he didn't think Rath could make him feel this good.

Rath smiled broadly when he felt Michael trembling in pleasure. His hand reached forward and grabbed Michael's cock and started to jerk him off. Rath started laughing when he heard Michael gasping for air.

Maria gasped as she watched Rath jerk Michael off and saw how Michael's hips bucked before he reached up to grab onto the other's alien's arm. "S-hit," she whispered as she felt her c-lit begin to throb in excitement.

The gasp behind Rath took his attention away from Michael momentarily. Rath turned his head to see Maria watching them intensely as she played with her c-lit. "I think your bitch is enjoying the show," Rath whispered in Michael ear.

"Maria," Michael gasped, reaching out to her with his hand. Maria obeyed the wordless gesture, rising to walk towards them.

Maria abruptly stopped a few steps away from them. "I can't, Michael... I can't. I'm still too sore."

"So? You got his powers, right? Heal it!" Rath looked at Maria for a moment before turning back to Michael and increasing his pumping. "That's it Mikey, you know you want it."

Maria looked at both aliens and watched as Rath pumped Michael mercifully. Reaching down between her legs she concentrated and sent a bolt of energy to where she was tender and moaned in pleasure as the pain faded away. She couldn't believe the next words to come from her mouth. "I want to watch you take Michael," she purred as she stepped closer and covered Rath's hand with her own, helping to bring Michael to his climax.

Michael was too lost for words. Squeezing his eyes so hard, he was seeing stars then it went bright as he came in both of their hands.

Rath chuckled and slapped Michael on the a-ss as he came. "So she wants to see you being taken. Be a good bitch and get on your hands and knees," he purred as he rubbed Michael's softening dick, keeping him aroused enough not to argue.

Michael obeyed robotically, dropping to his hands and knees as Rath moved behind him. Unable to restrain herself, Maria followed Michael, pushing her breasts into his face as she shivered excitedly.

Rath smirked and gave Michael five fast slaps to make him squirm a little before reaching over and gathering some of his cum and slowly sliding his lubricated fingers in and out of his dupe's tight hole. "You ready to be ridden G?" he purred into his ear before looking at the blonde. "Keep him creaming for this sweet cheeks," he commanded before placing the tip of his dick at his dupe’s anus and slowly beginning to slip inside his tight passage.

Maria smiled as she wriggled onto the floor beneath Michael, pulling his head to her breasts. She stared up at Rath hovering over her boyfriend and smiled as she saw him thrust into Michael roughly. She was anxious for them to be finished so she could try out her new healing powers on him... he was going to need them.

Maria gasped for breath as she watched both men cum fast and hard as Michael suckled her breast. It took her a moment to realize the bright light exploding before her eyes was real and that Rath was frozen behind Michael, his mouth hung open as ray of lights illuminated from within him and Michael.

"Uh... uh Michael?" Maria prodded her ecstasy-claimed boyfriend until he opened his eyes and slipped away from Rath. Both of them stared up at the glowing alien hovering over them. "S-hit man... he's going to kick you’re a-ss," Maria whispered.

Both watched as the light slowly began to travel up along Michael's body and settle at his chest that he clutched in pain. "Maria... help... transferring powers," he cried before he passed out.

Maria watched in horror as Michael lay cold on the floor. Finally gathering her thoughts, she crawled to him and flipped his body around. She didn't know what she was doing, but something internal, instincts, made her put both of her hands on Michael's chest. She wanted a few seconds, but nothing happened. She looked up at Rath, pleading for help.

Rath fell to his knees as the light that had suddenly appeared faded and heard his dupe's bitch screaming at him to help her. His eyes slowly began to focus on her and Michael. Weakly he said, "Just concentrate, imagine mending him from the inside." Then he slumped on the floor, wondering who was going to fix him.

Maria closed her eyes tightly, causing the tears to roll down her cheeks. She couldn't loose Michael and she wasn't about to let him go this easy. She concentrated hard, concentrated on mending him, healing him. Maria felt the heat radiating from the thin space between her palm and his chest. Even with her eyes closed, the bright light started to hurt her eyes.

Michael felt like he was floating, hovering above the scene of Maria, him and Rath lying on the floor. He wondered how he could see himself lying there when he saw that Maria was crying and pressing her hands into his chest. As her tears dripped onto his naked skin, he felt himself falling back to the floor, slipping into the shell of a body just as she screamed his name.

Michael gasped for breath as his eyes flew open and saw Maria sobbing before him. With what little energy he had, he reached up and stroked her hair. "I'm alright," he whispered. Struggling to sit up, he stopped in his tracks when he saw the pile of ash where Rath had been lying when he saw them before his essence returned to his body.

"He just... disintegrated," Maria said softly as she buried her tear-streaked face in Michael's chest. "I was trying to help you, but nothing was working. Then I felt this surge of power and Rath went poof! I think... I think he gave me his powers or something."

Michael looked at Maria and then back to the pile of ash. He felt different. Slowly he raised his hand and touched Maria's hair and watched it turn a shade of auburn. "Maybe it was me you felt, I think Rath transferred his powers to me when we... when we... you know," he indicated as he pointed to the dry cum on his stomach.

Maria looking down at it and quickly looked backed at Michael. "So does that mean..." She waved her hand above Michael's stomach and the cum disappeared.

Michael finished her sentence... "We both have powers."

"Bitchin," Maria said with a smirk before she frowned. "How are we going to explain this to the others and what about Lonnie? You don't think she will come looking for Rath do you?"

"I doubt it. From what Max said, their relationship was more out of necessity than need. But if she does, she'll have to deal with the both of us."
~*~*~*~*~*~


Jim Valenti stepped out of his police cruiser and walked towards the stopped Chevelle. It was Max's car, but it had a broken tail light, something he thought the alien should have been able to fix easily. Coming up by the side of the car, he looked down at the driver's seat and squinted. "Nice hat Max!"

Max groaned and mumbled, "Freaking Michael." Looking up he blushed at the look of amusement the Sheriff had on his face. "I can explain," he told him. "It's just going to take a few minutes."

The sheriff stood there, leaning on Max's car, listening to the absurd story. Knowing who Max was and the strange life that they lived, Jim knew Max was telling the truth, but it didn't make the story any less strange. "So you guys just left them like that?"

"See I told you we shouldn't have left Maria!" Liz cried from the back seat. "Sheriff it was horrible, the pain she was in and the way her body was bucking and thrashing from the torture she was enduring. We have to go back there and get the alien being out of her body that we saw earlier."

Jim had the presence of mind to tip his head so that his hat covered most of the smile that crossed his face. Max could still see it though and had to choke back a laugh of his own at his girlfriend's naiveté. Sometimes he just couldn't figure out how someone so book smart could be so dumb.

"I understand your concern Liz, but I think I should go alone. Max take the girls home and change out of those outfits." Jim didn't want to be the person who killed Liz's innocence. He waved to them as the Chevelle drove off.

Jim got back into his car and headed towards Michael's. He groaned when he turned the last corner and saw the couple in question over by a snow bank. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw when Michael was doing and heard Maria saying. "But Michael that wasn't the position we were in when Rath went poof."

Jim looked at what they were doing and slowly backed away. He came here to see if they are all right, and they were up and active, that was all the assurance he needed.

Maria plopped down in the snow. "What difference does it make? He's still gone, trying to reenact the position isn't going to bring him back.

Scratching his eyebrow, Michael wasn't sure how to take that. He sat down next to her. He reached this hand out and touched the snow, slowly melting the figures. "But he'll will always be in our memories."

Maria sniffled and snuggled closer to Michael. "I guess, I'm going to miss him though. He was kinda sweet in his own twisted way."

"Well he was sort of my brother, I guess. Lord knows he was good looking enough." When Maria punched his arm Michael grinned mischievously. "Seriously though, we do have something to deal with... you have powers."

"Yeah, my powers," Maria said in awe. She looked up to see him looking at her. Her brow furrowed in confusion as she looked into Michael's eyes, they reminded her of Rath's.

"Michael?" She questioned before grinning, maybe Michael had a little bit more of Rath in him than he realized. It made perfect sense to her since Rath was literally in Michael just before he disintegrated. She leaned forward and kissed her lover. "We can figure out the powers situation later, there's a bathtub calling for us."
