Notes: This is going to be a very quick light fic. Nothing too serious I don't think. This fic isn't even being beta-read.

--------

Max stood there in front of Liz "I don't remember, what'd I say? I'm sorry I ruined your evening." He walked out of there not wanting his face to give away to the lie he just told. He opened the door to exit, faintly hearing Maria begin to sing. He hoped Liz believed him. How could he have done all those things. "I am never ever touching alcohol again." He vowed to himself.

He couldn't let Liz find out that he remembered what he had done. Why had he even gone out with Kyle that night. Why did drinking have the effect to make Max tell the complete truth about everything? All he had was one single sip. Aliens have a definate low tolerance for booze, that's for sure.

Max kicked a stone on the sidewalk as he made his way to his house. He had loved the feeling while he was with Liz, being there in his arms. 'Had Liz seen all those flashes?' He said in his head. Max sighed. Those flashes were all of his best memories of him and Liz. It was like there whole year so far since the shooting all mixed up in a single minute.

Then there was them when they were alone. Every single thing that came out of my mouth the purely true. Why didn't he just confessed that he enjoyed every moment he and Liz had that night and screamed "yes! It is true!!" But being the dumbass he was he stepped back into his protective shell.

Meanwhile at the concert...

Maria stepped off stage while all the applauds were still going strong. She made her way too where Liz was. "Oh Liz, what a rush! I mean I was just standing up there all nervous and them boom, it was like I was meant to be onstage. Oh, Oh my god, Liz, your crying, what's wrong? What happened with Max, I mean that kiss you two shared was incredibly steamy. What happened?"

Maria flung her arm over Liz's shoulder and walked her over to a corner of the room where it was a tad bit quieter. "He didn't remember anything. All that happened tonight and he doesn't remember a thing."

"Liz what did happen tonight? What happened with you and Max while he was intoxicated?" Maria wanted all the details even if she thought her friend was just going to be hurt over and over by going back with Max.

Liz wiped her eyes with a tissue Maria had handed her. "Well me and my date came back to my house in my room so the KROZ wouldn't find us, and in my room I found Kyle and Max. Kyle took on my date while I went with Max outside. He did the sweetest thing. He wrote M.E + L.P in a heart on my wall on the roof. Then we went to this place so nobody would find us. Max did all these trick with his powers like making the lightposts into a discoball sort of. Then he made the parking meters into fireworks. Most importantly he told me he went crazy when he wasn't with me, and that he wanted us to be together. That nothing mattered it we were together. Basically you know the rest." Fresh tears appeared in her eyes as relived the whole situation in her head. "But the weird thing is, when we kissed I saw all these images. Images of Max and I throughout the whole year so far. After he healed me and everything. It was all our moments. Maria you should have seen them, they were amazing."

Maria chewed on her nail as Liz talked. "You don't think that Max really remembers what happened while he was drunk only he was just too scared to tell the truth so he said he didn't remember. Therefore he wouldn't have to deal with his feelings. From what I hear, Max was telling you the truth when he was alone with you. Now that he realizes he's told you his feelings he still needs his distance so he said that. Just a theory." She was proud of her quick and accurate perceptions of Max.

Liz nodded. "Maybe Maria, you could be right I guess. I'll never understand guys." Maria quickly agreed.
