Additional notes: In this fic, if you haven’t
seen the episode when the skins go to Roswell then you may not get it but you
can try. Also, I’m making out that Liz already told Maria about future
Max. Oh and Kivar had been on earth for a while but has not made his presence
known.

Michael smiled as he entered the Crashdown. Maybe tonight was the night where
Maria might take him back and forgive him. He spotted the rest of the gang minus
Tess at a table in the corner and sat with them. Maria walked over and motioned
for him to follow her to the back room.
“Hey, so you wanted to talk?”
Maria nodded. “Yeah look, I thought about what you said 2 weeks ago a lot but the truth is Michael, is that I don’t want you any more. I deserve someone so much better than you and I intend on finding it and I don’t need you bringing me down”
Michael was shocked. “What? I thought you loved me”
Maria scoffed. “And when exactly did I tell you this, because I don’t recall ever saying it to you. I don’t love you Michael. How could I possibly love someone like you?”
“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” Michael yelled. He couldn’t believe he was hearing this.
“Michael you’re trailer trash, a loner, who wants to be with someone like that?”
Michael glared at her. “You did once”
Maria smiled. “Ever heard the saying ‘I’ll try anything once’?”
“I don’t believe you Maria, why are you being like this?” Michael asked stepping forward. Maria took one step back.
“I’m just trying to be truthful. I mean god, you’re an alien who can’t even control his powers. I need someone more focused, more, I don’t know, better at everything, like Max is”
Michael flinched. She did the one thing she knew would hurt him the most. Compare him to Max and prove that once again Max is the better man. “So you want Max?”
Maria laughed. “Max? No of course not. But I sure as hell don’t want you either.” Michael watched as she walked out of the backroom leaving his broken heart shattered on the floor. He shook his head and followed her. No, that couldn’t just be the end of it.
“Maria” he said stopping her. She turned around.
“Get it into your head Michael, I don’t want you anymore. I deserve someone better than a trailer trash reject who nobody wanted.” She yelled. Isabel gasped, as did everyone else at the table. Did Maria just say that? Max glanced around. Luckily the Crashdown was empty besides them or Michael would have been more pissed than he obviously already was.
Michael shook his head. “I wish I’d never met you. No you know what? I wish it was you that got shot in the Crashdown and that Max never saved you.” He regretted it the second he said it. He didn’t mean it he was just angry. He looked in Maria’s eyes and saw that they were green and teary. Maria blinked and her eyes were amber again and dead looking.
Max was shocked. He knew Michael didn’t mean it but still. Isabel didn’t know what to say. On one side Maria shouldn’t have said that to Michael but what Michael said was probably the worst thing you could say. Michael just opened his mouth as if to say something but closed it and walked out.
Maria walked into the backroom followed by Liz and Isabel. “Maria what the hell was that?” Liz asked
Maria turned and smiled. “What do you mean Liz? I thought you were smart, can’t you figure it out?”
“Maria what is wrong with you?” Isabel demanded.
Maria sighed. “There is nothing wrong with me, nothing at all.” Liz shook her head and walked out of the room. Isabel just stared at her. “What?”
“How could you say that to Michael?”
“How could he say that to me? Look Isabel stay out of this it’s none of your business” Maria said going to her locker.
“Yes it is Michael’s my brother.”
Maria turned and laughed. “No he’s not. He’s your betrothed, not your brother. And well now, it looks like he’s free. Why don’t you go and try your luck. But then again, maybe he’ll reject you like last time. Michael didn’t love then you then just like he won’t love you now”
“What the hell are you talking about? I don’t want Michael” Isabel said with a disgusted look on her face.
“No you want Alex. You love Alex, but Alex doesn’t love you. You broke his heart, he’s moving on.”
Isabel shook her head. “No, that’s not true, Alex does love me”
Maria scoffed. “How could Alex love someone like you? I mean not only are you self-centred and the schools Ice Queen but you’re an alien, a disgusting alien. Alex doesn’t want you just like your parents on your planet didn’t want you. They sent you here. Oh and if your adoptive parents ever found out what you are. Ha. They wouldn’t want you either. You’ll always be alone Isabel. How could anyone love you?”
Isabel chocked on a sob. Maria was right. Who would want her? Michael didn’t, Alex didn’t and her real parents didn’t. She turned and walked out of the café. Max watched his sister leave and went to find Maria, Liz and Kyle following. “Maria”
Maria smiled. “Yes Max.”
“What did you say to Isabel?” Max asked
“I told her the truth. Mmm, the truth huh, now that’s a funny concept hey Liz.” Maria looked at her.
Liz shook her head and glanced quickly at Max. “I don’t know what you’re talking about”
Maria smirked. “Oh really, well shall I refresh your memory, Future Max coming, you sleeping but not really with Kyle. Any of that ring any bells?”
Liz gasped. “Maria how could you? You promised”
Maria laughed. “I promised nothing” with that she walked out of the room leaving Max and Liz alone. Maria didn’t have to stay; they’d destroy whatever they had on their own.
Kyle sat at the table staring at Maria as she walked over. “Are you happy now? You destroyed Michael, hurt Isabel, ruined Max and Liz and did god knows what to Tess, she won’t even talk to me anymore. What the hell happened to you Maria?”
Maria sat down next to him. Now to implement the final stage. Before she spoke however Max stormed out of the back followed by a crying Liz. “Max wait” Max ignored her and kept going out the door. Liz turned to Maria. “I hate you”
Maria turned back to Kyle who shook his head. “See what you did, none of them will talk to you again”
Maria started to cry. Kyle softened his features and hugged her. Maria, well Kara knew he would, Kyle couldn’t turn his back on her. “Oh Kyle I’m so sorry, I don’t know what got into me, I haven’t felt like myself since that day I was taken” she sobbed but on the inside was rolling her eyes.
Kyle rubbed her back. “Shhh, I’m sure they’ll forgive you Maria, just apologise”
Maria nodded. “Yeah, tomorrow I will, could you get them to got other old warehouse just outside of Roswell?”
Kyle looked suspicious. “Why?”
“Because that’s where I’ll do it.” Maria told him
“Why there” he asked
Maria sat up. “There’s also something I need to show you all, I think it’s why I’ve been acting this way.”
Kyle nodded. “Ok tomorrow”
Maria hugged him. “Thankyou Kyle”
Outside of Roswell
The next day Kivar and Kara awaited the others arrival at the warehouse. “My
dear, you should go in the back and wait”
Kivar nodded. “Ok, but remember, the element of surprise is necessary.”
Kara smiled. “Oh they’ll be surprised alright, they’ll never know what hit them.” Kivar laughed.
“You did well my dear” Kara smiled and walked over to the window but on her way she stumbled. “Kara, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing, just a little anxious I guess” Kivar nodded then kissed her and left. Kara frowned. She wasn’t anxious Maria was just getting stronger. Kara shook her head. “Those doctors had better find something to fix this soon.”
“Maria?” Kyle called. Kara smiled. Time to play Maria again.
