*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Gosh, could this day get any longer?" Tess Harding Groaned.
"Tell me about it." Maria Deluca said. She, Liz Parker, Tess and Isabel Evans were all sitting around in Isabel's room on a hot
July day. Isabel, laying on her bed flipping through the latest Teen Magazine, piped up. "Oh, come on girls! they have been
gone for, what? Two days? If they come back here right now and find that the three of you are going crazy because they aren't
here, they would never let you live it down. see, me on the other hand, and totally calm. sure, i miss Alex, but i'm not going
crazy." *on the out side* Isabel said to herself. Only Tess, who could feel what Isabel was feeling could tell what a mess She
was on the inside.
"You know what?" Liz said, jumping off the table she had been sitting at, "Your right. they will be back soon. There is no
reason for us to become all messed up." She sat down on the floor next to maria who was going through a Tide box full of
Izzy's notes. Tess stopped pacing and went to lie besides Isabel on the bed. She took one look at the picture Isabel was staring
at and groaned. *Wow! He looks just like Max* she thought, but instead said "He is so hot."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Max Evans, Michael Guerin, Alex Whitman, and Kyle Valenti walked to the opening of Isabel's room only to hear Tess groan
and say "He is so hot!" Max frowned. *Who's Hot?* he thought.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Who's Hot?" Tess heard a voice say from the doorway.
"Max!" Tess squeled, running up to him and throwing her arms around his neck. She kissed him and smiled. "So, how was your
big camping weekend?" she asked, kissing him again.
"Great. Who's hot?"
It took Tess a moment to realize that he must have overheard her comment earlier. "Oh, this guy Jason Behr. He played on
Buffy as that freaky Ford guy."
Relief flooded Max's eyes. He and Tess walked to the bed and watched the other couples reunite. Alex with Isabel, Michael
with Maria, and Kyle with Liz. Everyone was happy. Max turned to Tess. "Well, while we're on this 'Who's hot' Topic, do you
want to know who i think is hot?"
v
"Who?"
"This girl who used to play on this show my mom watched, 'The Beast Master'. I think her name was Emilie De Ravin. Wow!
What a hottie."
Tess smiled. "I missed you."
"I missed you too."
Tess's smile got wider. "I love you."
Max pulled her in for a kiss. "I love you too." he said. They kissed, both unaware of the six people around them making gagging
noises.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So, were you lonely here while i was gone? You know, since Nasedo's not here," Max asked Tess who was in the kitchen
making alot of noise.
"Oh, no. Isabel let me stay with her. Your mom didn't mind."
"Good," he said. He walked into the kitchen and found Tess with an apron on and a bunch of food ingredience in front of her.
She didn't look like she had a clue what she was doing.
Max smiled. "What are you doing?" He asked.
She looked at him with her big, blue eyes."I, Mr, aam cooking for you. You've been out in the wilderness for the past 2 days,
so i am going to make you a home cooked meal. now shoo! Back to the living room so i can cook."
Max laughed. "ok," he said. He didn't want to mention the fact that there was a burgur king a half a mile from the camp site
where the guys went after the adults were asleep. He wandered around Tess's living room, looking at all the mementoes she
had collected in the past year since she came to Roswell. The stuffed bear max had won for her when the carnival came to
town, a picture of her and Is in a key chain, a picture of the group together at a pool party, all little memories f how much his life
had changed since Tess came to town. He looked on the wall, and found a framed photo of Tess and Liz together. Although
Liz hardly spoke to Max after he and Tess had hooked up, her and Tess had become extremely close. She didn't blame Tess
for his and Liz breaking up and for that Max was glad.
He heard a crash, then a curse from Tess. He walked into the kitchen to find Tess standing over a shattered plate with black
hard disks everywere. She looked at him, reached down, grabbed a disk, and tapped it against the counter. It shattered. She
looked at him. "That was a pancake!"
Max tried not to laugh. He failed. He held onto the table to keep from falling down. Tess tried to look at him sternly, but as he
started laughing harder, she couldn't help from giggling. in a few minutes they were both on the floor laughing. Tess wiped tears
out of her eyes. "Oh, Max! i wanted everything to be perfect when you got back."
"Every moment i'm with you is perfect." he said, looking into her eyes. he was about to kiss her when his stomache groaned,
ruining the moment. "Huh, i guess i am kinda hungry."
"Well, then we have to go on to plan two." she said as Max got up, pulling her with him. she took off her apron. "Instead of me
making you a home cooked meal, i'm going to take you to your favorite resturant."
Max's eyes lit up. "Yo Kido Taco Bell?"
"Yo kido taco bell," Tess said, smiling.
"Wohoo!" Max yelled, grabbing her by the waist and swinging her around. she laughed. As they eft her house, hand in hand,
she couldn't help but think about how perfect her life had become. She had a great house, good grades, a group of people who
let her in, and a man who loved her dearly. A girl coudn't ask for more.
