Part 4

*Continuium from Part 1-3*

Michael turns and looks at the little girl who he could now see was silently crying, something he thought little kids couldn't do, but then he remembered he did the same thing.

*Flashback*

"Young man where are you from? Who are your parents? Where did you come from?, Answer me little boy, don't be scared I won't hurt you I promise, just tell me."

The little Michael opened his mouth and for the second time said "I just want to go home" but he didn't cry he just stood there looking the mean woman in the eyes.

*End Flashback*

Michael was brought from his thoughts at the little girl tugging on his shirt telling him to let her down without actually saying it. He placed on the ground and the little girl walked up to Alex and Isabel who were still on the floor. She walked up to her looked her in the eyes once more reached her hands out and gave her a giant hug. As the little girl did that it reminded Isabel of when she did it once before.

*Flashback*

"Isabel look, it's him, he's here, look!" Max said. Isabel turned her head around and saw the teacher motioning Michael to go sit by the little girl who she thought was weird. (Maria) Michael turned around and saw Isabel looking at him, he remembered her and had missed her and her brother.

_Recess_

Michael walked up to Isabel and Max who were looking at him. Isabel reached her arms out and gave him one of the biggest hugs in her life.

*End Flashback*

The little girl let go of Isabel and smiled at Alex. When she smiled Alex remembered that smile it was like Isabel's at a young age.

*Flashback*

It was the first time he saw little Isabel. She came walking into 2nd grade with her brother at her side. He turned his head away from Maria and saw her for the first time she looked at him with a big smile across her face which he believed to be directed at him, maybe it was who knows.

*End Flashback*

Jennifer smiled at him and walked up behind him and sat at the booth across form Max and Liz who were staringing at her with deep admiration. She looked with her face resting on her hands and said "Will they come back to earth?" Max looked at her with pain in his eyes. Liz looked at her with questionable eyes then turned and looked at Alex holding Isabel and Michael holding Maria. First she wondered if the little girl was talking about them because they seemed to be in some type of daze, but then she realized the little girl had directed that question to Max.

Max looked at the little girl with fear and shook his head no but said yes. The little girl looked at him with profound eyes like she could understand but wanted not to. Liz looked at Max with eyes that would have thought she just knew he was going to die. Michael gently walked over to the little girl who looked as she could burst into tears any second and swept her up into his arms holding her like a giant teddy bear. Letting her know that every thing would be okay, that she had everyone in this room if they didn't come back for her and the others.

Part 5

Maria walked up behind Michael who had set the little girl down by Isabel and Alex for that seemed to be what she wanted. Maria tapped Michael on the shoulder very gently and shocked him he jumped up turned around and in the background the little girl screamed "No!" Everyone turned and looked over where Maria was collapsed into Michael's arms.

Liz and Max jumped up and watched her fall. Isabel and Alex jumped up setting the little girl on the floor, Isabel tried to reach for her but Alex pulled her hands away. The little girl who could see everyone standing around Maria, climbed up on the booth seat then on the table and stood on her tip toes. Maria opened her eyes with everyone standing around her she jumped up even though Michael was trying to keep her down. She slid passed the other two couples just as Jennifer was beginning to lose her balance on the end of the table.

Maria caught her with a stride and hit her knees on the ground as they both came down. Maria picked the little girl up sat with her legs crossed and rocked the little girl back and fourth tears streaming from her and Jennifer's eyes. Michael walked up to them both and sat next to them his hand on her shoulder. Liz sat on the other side of her in the same position. The rest followed her Max sat next to Liz, Isabel next to Max and Alex next to Isabel and Michael. They all sat there until Maria all of sudden opened her eyes which were gray and red. She opened her mouth and began to speak.

Maria : "You have all gathered here the last of our kind on this here earth. You have accomplished your duty in finding one another. It is know your job to come home. Tomorrow will be your final task to meet your families where the ship crashed to go *home,* you will all be given huge honors for accomplishments on earth in succeeding to adapt to a new species without forgetting your true background and I applaud you for that. I am beginning to fade this body is fighting with all strength to force me out I must go, but don't forget tomorrow at 7:30pm meet at the crash site."

Part 6

Maria opened her eyes slowly and then burst into tears for she had had her body controlled by another being and that being had told the people she loved that they were leaving. Maria just fell into the side Michael. Michael reached his arm around her shoulder and sat there holding her not wanting to ever let her go. Max held onto Liz and Alex held onto Isabel. Jennifer just sat back and leaned against Maria's chest wanting to believe Maria was her mother and everyone in this room was her family.

They sat there for about an hour doing nothing but holding each other until Max said "I think we all better get home we have a lot to do and I don't want *mom & dad* to start getting worried."

Liz : "Same here, I don't think my parents want everyone here this late."
Isabel : "I guess your right we still have to pack."
Alex : "Yeah, I don't want my mom to freak and send the police out looking for me and ruining your trip home."
Max : "Guys where do you think Jennifer should stay?"
Jennifer : "I'm staying with Maria."
Isabel : "Maybe she can't have you stay, did you think about that."
Maria : "She can stay my mom probably isn't home anyway."
Michael : "You sure? I'm sure Isabel could hide her in her pink room."
Isabel : "Oh, ha ha. Besides it's pretty like that." Isabel said with a slight smile on her face.
Maria: Yeah, I'm positive.

Everyone turned and walked their separate ways. Max and Isabel hopped in the jeep and drove off. Alex turned the corner to head home. Liz went up stairs to her bed and Michael drove Maria and Jennifer "home."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He carried Jennifer to Maria's room because she had fallen asleep on the short drive home. Michael walked down the steps to find Maria sitting on her coach curled up crying. He walked over and she lifted her head and noticed something missing in her eyes. He bent down on the floor where he had seen a sheet of paper Maria had picked up on the way in the door. It read:

DEAR MY SWEET MARIA,
I DON'T WANT TO SAY THIS BUT I MUST GO. I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART BUT I HAVE FALLEN HEAD OVER HEELS FOR A MAN NAMED TOM. HE LOVES ME SWEETHEART SO PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT HE WANTS TO START OVER AND HE WANTS ME TO LEAVE AND START A NEW LIFE WITH HIM, INCLUDING A NEW FAMILY. BYE MY PRECIOUS DARLING.
LOVE ALWAYS, YOUR MOTHER
PS I WILL SEND MONEY TO HELP YOU MANAGE ALONG

Michael leaned in where he saw her precious face screaming to hold her and that's exactly what he did he grabbed her around her waist and scooped her up in a large hug and held her there. He whispered in her ear "I don't ever want to let you go." Maria lifted her head and in a gentle cry replied "Neither do I, but I'll have to. I can't make you stay with me forever." As Maria said that Jennifer came down the stairs crying. Maria stood up out of Michael's arms picked up the little girl in her arms and went and sat in Michael's arms again. They sat there for about an hour or so before Maria heard Michael say "You wouldn't have to make me stay." With those words they all fell asleep in each others arms waiting silently for what the next day would bring.
