Summary: Okay basically the whole second part of the first season didn’t happen they way it did on TV. Maria she was adopted when she was six and doesn’t remember her childhood prior to age 6. Max and Liz aren’t together and Liz is with Sean who moved in with Amy and Maria. Tess isn’t evil and she isn’t after Max. That’s it for the summary I can’t give out to much info.

Challenge #3

Max/Maria

-An old false spoiler says that Maria is Max's true destiny

-You decide how everyone figures this out

-Max and Maria have to be together by the end

-No Liz bashing.

Maria Deluca wondered if 'the people upstairs' were laughing at her now. Things had gone from strange to weird The alien population of Roswell seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. First there was the new girl, Tess Harding, who turned out to be an alien. Then there was her 'father', Ed Harding, who is really Nasedo; an alien that was also in the crash and the four alien's protector. Well, he just announced that Max Evans was a King, Tess was his Queen and his sister Isabel was a Princess. Then, last but not least, their was her semi-boyfriend, Michael Guerin ,who was Max's second in command.

Maria’s life turned completely upside down the day she started having dreams of Max Evans. At first she just knocked them off as a side effect from being around the aliens too long. But then all of a sudden the dreams changed. It wasn't just her out in the desert with a bunch of alien type symbols. Max Evans began to appear in them.

Dream Plane

The desert felt so real that she could almost feel the heat coming off of the sun. The place felt familiar to her, yet foreign the same. She was standing next to a symbol, she wasn't sure if it was ‘alien,’ but it was alien to her. The symbol had four lines crossing and each line had a square. Maria nicknamed it the four squares. She looked down to see that she was wearing a white lace and silk gown that was strapless and long. She thought it was a beautiful dress, it made her look curvaceous. In this dress she had curves.

Maria looked up and right in front of her on one of the other squares she saw Max Evans. He was staring at her. Maria didn't know why she was having dreams about him or why she felt overly drawn to him. Even in the daytime for the past week she was drawn to him. She tried to fight the strange feelings she was having.

Max was Liz Parker's ex boyfriend and Michael's best friend. Liz broke up with Max when she found out about Tess being his wife. Tess wasn't interested in Max she just wanted to find out more about her past and be connected to someone like her. But Liz was afraid and said that she would have to give him up eventually to his people anyway and couldn't take the pain. Liz was now interested in Maria's cousin Sean who moved into Maria's house about three weeks ago. Liz is good for Sean, he's really changing into a respectable citizen and not the common thug he used to be.

Max was a handsome guy, no doubt about that, and what he was wearing was helping. He had on silk white pants and a white vest trimmed in gold. He reminded her of Aladdin in the Disney cartoon. He started to walk over to her. Maria's heart raised in anticipation. Max was suddenly in front of her, he looked her up and down. His eyes were filled with passion that Maria never thought would be directed towards her. He moved his hand to the back of her head and without saying a word he kissed her. Maria felt like she would melt right there on the spot. His arms wrapped around her and he held her close to him. The kiss was full of passion and desire. Maria opened her mouth to his invading tongue. She gave in to the animalistic passion that possessed him. Maria closed her eyes and opened them to a different scene. She was lying down with Max on top of her. They were still kissing and he started a path down her neck. When he hit a sensitive spot she moaned, " Oh, Max."

"M!" Sean yelled. His cousin was tossing and turning and evidently having a good dream. He heard her call out, 'Oh, Max.' "What?" Maria shot up pissed at the rude interruption. She glared angrily at Sean a.k.a. menace to her society.

Sean took a bit of his cereal from the bowl he had in his hand and then in a high-pitched voice and mischievous smile said, "Oh Max!" Satisfied by the look of total horror on her face he then proceeded to his room.

Maria was horrified, she couldn't believe she said that out loud, and that Sean heard her. She jumped out of bed and ran to his room.

"Sean Deluca! I swear if you tell anyone what you heard you will no longer be recognizable as a man,” Maria yelled, as she barged into Sean's room.

"I wonder what Guerin would think if he knew you were calling out Evan's name?" Sean asked, as he took another bite of his cereal.

Maria grabbed the cereal bowl out of his hands and placed it on the nightstand and then she pounced on him.

"Aunt Amy! Maria's trying to kill me," Sean yelled for his aunts help. One thing about his cousin, the girl was strong. Maria beat him a couple of times on the shoulder with her fist.

" Maria, don't kill your cousin!" Amy yelled from the kitchen. She'd been trying to block out the noise coming from down the hall.

" Don't worry Mom I'm just going to maim him." Maria yelled back, after she punched him in the shoulder again.

"Promise you won't tell anyone what you heard. Promise!" Maria demanded.

" Ouch, Maria that hurts. Damn She-Ra stop it. I promise I won't say anything now quit it!" Sean couldn't believe that he gave into his cousin but boy could she pack a punch. He'd probably have bruises now and would hate to tell his friends where he got them.

" Good," Maria said, as she composed herself and went back to her room to get ready for school.

At the Evans Household

"You had another dream last night didn't you?" Isabel asked her brother as he was getting ready for school.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Max said to his sister, as he pulled a blue T-shirt over his head. The dreams he'd been having were intense. He'd been having dreams of Maria and last night they started to get physical. He felt drawn to her and he didn't know why.

"Max, these dreams we're having, they mean something." Isabel wished her brother would open up to her more. These dreams were confusing her and she needed his help in trying to understand them.

" We?" Max questioned.

" Yeah, you, me, Michael, and Tess." Isabel said, as she leaned her head on the wooden doorway. She didn't want to have the dreams about Michael but she was drawn to him and she was afraid she'd hurt people, namely Maria and Alex, if she started to have different feelings for him.

" I'm not having dreams about Tess." Max voice drifted as he lowered his head to see put on a watch.

" You haven't but you have been having dreams, right?" Isabel asked wondering why he wasn't having dreams of Tess while she was having them of Michael. 'What did it mean?'

"Tess isn't in my dreams. Maria is." Max couldn't believe he said what he just did but he did need to talk to someone about them.

"Maria? Max I don' t understand. Tess is your destined mate why are you having dreams about Maria?" This was so confusing. She wished things could be normal again.

" I don't know. I do know that I'm drawn to her and she has something to do with this destiny thing. It's a feeling I have." Max went to get his books and started to head out of his room to go eat breakfast. He didn't want to talk about this now. He had to talk to Maria first and find out why she's in his dreams and if they could stop it. But the real question was did he want to?

Part 1

Max couldn't believe what just happened. It wasn't like he wanted it. Okay, scratch that. He would be crazy if he didn't, but he had no real control over what happened. However, try explaining that to his parents.

"Max, what were you thinking? Do you have any idea what would have happened if Isabel hadn't walked in?" His father questioned him like the lawyer he is. He may need one after Amy Deluca finds out what happened. No way was she going to let him in her house again.

"I don't know. Something just came over me; over us, I guess." He really didn't know what happened. He didn't even remember kissing her. The last thing he remembered was answering the door and having a feeling of completeness sweep over him when he gazed in to Maria's emerald eyes. Then all of the sudden he was awoken from his daze by his sister's screeching voice of reality.


Max looked over at Isabel and then realized that he was lying on top of someone. The confused young man looked down and stared into the reflection of fear and confusion. Maria's shirt was off, her lips were swollen, and her skin was flushed. He immediately moved off her and noticed that his shirt was gone too.

"Oh my god! Max...Maria, what are you two doing? I thought neither of you felt that way about each other! This is so going to scar me for life. I never thought I'd walk in the middle of my brother having sex. Ewww!" Isabel face was filled with distaste.

"Isabel, it's not what it looks like. We were not having sex." Max explained, trying to calm her down.

"Oh yeah? Well explain why her hands were about to unbutton your pants?" The older sibling grilled her younger brother.

"What?" Maria had no idea what was going on. And why was her semi half-naked body in Max Evans' bed?

She had originally come over to the Evans' to get help with homework. But when Max answered the door she felt a feeling of belonging like she never felt before. Then the next thing she knew Isabel was ranting and raving. 'How did she get from Max's front door and to his bedroom?'

"Wait a minute. Are you telling me that you two don't remember what happened?" Isabel was bewildered by this situation.

"I don't remember what happened, but I do know that it felt right." Max couldn't visually remember what took place but he could remember the feeling of how right it was. He felt like he was doing something for the first time in a long time. It was like he found a part of him that was missing.

Maria had pulled her shirt over her head. She was ready to leave; she felt uncomfortable with Isabel in the room. "I felt the same way even though I don't know what I was doing. Oh god. I almost lost my virginity to one of my best friends. What's going on and why is this stuff happening? I mean one day I touch Max and I feel this electrical charge run through me. Then I keep having the weird dreams that I don't know anything about. What's happening to me? Why do I see things I never seen before? Why do I feel things I've never felt before? Why can't I remember?" Maria's eyes were filled with pools of tears and the damn was about to break. She wanted to know why these things were happening to her. 'Was some alien playing a joke on her and Max?' If the were it's a very sick joke.


Maria got up and left in tears before Max or Isabel could say anything. On her way out she bumped into the Evans who just got back from grocery shopping. She excused herself and went escaped out the door.

Mrs. Evans went into Max's room to see him putting on his shirt and Isabel was leaning on the door frame. "What happened? Why was Maria crying?"

And that's why Max is now sitting on the living room couch, being grilled by his parents. His Dad gave him the safe sex talk...again.

All the words went in one ear and out the other, it wasn't like he hadn't heard it before. He was more concerned with Maria and why this stuff was happening to them.

Would she ever be able to trust him again? Did this ruin their friendship?

TBC.
