Disclaimer: If I owned Roswell, would I really be writing this? I didn�t think so. Roswell and all its characters belong to Melinda Metz and the United Paramount Network. Brendan and Jason are another story. I�m still working on that. LOL.
Category: Mi/L mostly.
Rating: Yes kids, this part will be NC-17.
Author�s Note: This is Post-Departure with a few twists.
Dedication: I want to dedicate this to DMartinez, SilverSky, Peachez4MaxEvans and MoonBaby19 who have written some of the most awesome Polar fics out there. It�s because of them that I am now a definite Polarist. I want to thank them for inspiring me to write this.
Summary: Just when Liz thought she had gotten her life back together, a tragedy strikes that could prove to ultimately be her breaking point. Who will save her from herself before it�s too late?

The song "Viva Forever" belongs to the Spice Girls. I'm just borrowing it.

Part 3: Yes, I Still Remember



AN: A �~� denotes a flashback.

Micheal sat in the bay window of his �room� in the Parker Apartment. He was contemplating just about everything in his life. He wasn�t looking forward to tomorrow, for the simple fact of it would mean seeing the source of all his pain in the past year. Maria. As music softly played in the background, Micheal flashed back to earlier times.

Do you still remember, how we used to be?
Feeling together, believing whatever.
My love has said to me.
Both of us were dreamers.
Young love in the sun.
Felt like my savior, my spirit I gave you.
We�d only just begun.



~They were in the middle of a crazy pillow fight when she suddenly stood up and yelled �Truce.� The look in her eyes told him that she wasn�t up to anything. So, he agreed to her truce.

He flopped down on his couch and she cuddled up next to him. �Micheal?�

�Hmmm?� He replied.

�Do you remember what it was like between us, when everything began?� She smiled as she thought of their constant bickering. Looking back on it, Isabel was right, they sounded like an old married couple. �Who knew that two people who once wanted to kill each other could fall so deep in love.�

He chuckled in response. �You were infuriating to me. I had always thought of you as Liz�s airhead sidekick. I didn�t want to deal with you.�

She smacked him in astonishment. �I�ll have you know I was not an airhead.� She huffed, and crossed her arms mockingly.

He shook his head in disagreement. �Yes, sometimes you were. You were an oil sniffing, airhead. But other times...� He trailed off as she interupted.

�Oh yeah, rebel without a clue?� She challenged.

�Yeah. Bubble brains.� He shot back.

�Dorkbutt.�

�Cheesehead.�

�Space Brains.�

�Space Cadet.�

�Oil sniffing, airhead.� He shot back as he stuck his tongue out at her.

�Oh yeah, at least I know how to use a brush.�

�Is that the best you got, Ms. I sleep with a teddy bear.�

�No. But this game is getting a little....� She said as she made a fake yawing noise. �tiresome.�

He lunged at her and pinned her to the couch. �I�m tiresome, huh? We�ll see about that.� He declared mischievously.

A look of panic crossed her face. She knew what he was planning to do. �Micheal, I was just kidding.�

�No. I don�t you were.� And with that he began tickling her.

�Mich-eal, sssssttttooooppp!� She managed to spit out in a fit of giggles.

�Only if you say the password.�

�I love you Spaceboy.�

He let go of her. �That�s what I wanted to hear.�

She laid her head on his chest. �Then I�ll say it again, I love you.�

�And I love you.�

�Forever?� She questioned.

�And a day. My love.�

He loved the feeling of being able to actually say those three words without struggling. She was the only one who made that possible.

Hasta Ma�ana, always be mine.

Viva forever, I�ll be waiting.
Everlasting like the sun.
Live forever, for the moment.
Ever searching for the sun.



~He slowly ran his hands up and down her body. She shuddered as his mouth latched onto one of her sensitive nipples. He took pleasure in driving her insane. He watched as her head fell back against the pillows and her eyes rolled in the back off her head. He knew all of her spots, and took full advantage of them.

She grabbed a handful of his hair and dragged him back up her body. She burned kisses up the side of his neck, which elicited a groan out of him. And when she finally reached his ear she whispered huskily �I need you inside me now Micheal.�

�Yes Ma�am.� He happily complied with her demand, and positioned himself above her.

There was a look of pure ecstasy on her face as he slowly pushed his way inside her.

�Mmmmmmicheal.� She immediately arched up off the bed. He felt so good.

�God, you feel so good baby.� He breathed in her ear. �So fucking good.� The fact that he was talking like that on served to further arouse her.

He slowly began to pound in and out of her tight body. No matter how many times they had been together she was always so tight. And it always drove him nuts.

�Uhhhh shit.� She cried as she tried to speed up the pace of their love making. �Maria.� He hissed her name softly. �Faster Micheal.� She shrieked. He was going painfully slow. He wanted to take his time with her. But she had other plans. The could go slow another day. She needed release and she needed it now.

She somehow managed to flip them over, so that she was on top. She began to rock her hips almost violently. He met her thrust for thrust. �Micheal help me.�

He held her hips in an effort to find the pace she wanted. After a few minutes, they finally reached the steady rhythm she so desperately needed. He knew by the look of passion in her glazed, unfocused eyes. �Mmmm right there. Oh God. Don�t stop. Right there Micheal.� She panted as she laced her fingers through his above his head. They were steadily driving each other insane.

This wasn�t their first time. So there was no awkwardness in their movements. No insecurities. Just pure passion driving them towards oblivion.

�God. Micheal. So good.� She couldn�t think straight, not that she could think at all. She couldn�t control the way her body responded to his as she raised and lowered herself onto to him. It was as if something primal inside of her took over. She needed him deeper. If that was even possible.

His mouth latched on to that sensitive spot on her neck. �Baby.� He hissed.

She ran her hands across his chest, feeling all of his muscles contract at her touch.

�Oh fuck. I�m almost there.� She let the fire, and passion take over her. Throwing her head back in ecstasy, her orgasm took over. Maria cried out his name as she flew over the edge.

�Shit baby.� He felt her innerwalls clamp down around him. And that was all it took to send him after her.
~

Yes I still remember, every whispered word.
The touch of your skin, giving life from within.
Like a love song that I�d heard.
Slipping through our fingers, like the sands of time.
Promises made, every memory saved.
Has reflections in my mind



~Afterwards, they lay in each other�s arms.

�Micheal, I love you.�

�I love you too, baby.�

�Forever?� She asked dreamily.

�And a day.� He replied as sleep overcame them both.

Hasta Ma�ana, Always be mine.

Viva forever, I�ll be waiting.
Everlasting, like the sun.
Live forever, for the moment.

~�But you always said that we�d go to college together at UNM Las Cruces. What changed your mind?�

She shook her head in indifference. �I just need to get out of here Micheal. Too much has happened. And I can�t be here right now. I need some space for a little while.�

He looked like hurt. �While are you telling me this now? It�s December. We don�t graduate until June.�

She shook her head. �No Micheal. You do. Liz does. Max does. Isabel does. But I don�t.�

�Ria you�re not making any sense.�

She handed him a paper that answered it all.

�You�re graduating next week?!? Couldn�t you have told me about this sooner? What were you just gonna leave without a goodbye?� He asked as tears silently streamed down his face.

She too had tears in her eyes. �Micheal, it wasn�t like that at all. And you know it. I only decided this two weeks ago.� She sniffled. �And how dare you think I would leave without saying goodbye to everyone! Especially you!� She screamed at him. �What kind of a person do you think I am. I just need time away from here.�

�Time away from me, you mean.� He said bitterly.

�No not you. I love you. It�s just this place, this town. I know there�s got to be something better out there for me. And I�m sure there�s something better that Roswell, for you.�

�Where are you going?�

�New York. I promise I will eventually be back. I just need to see more of the world than this rinky-dink town.� She said as she embraced him.

�Promise?�

�Yeah. I promise.�
~

But we�re all alone now, was it just a dream?
Feelings untold, they will never be sold.
And the secret�s safe with me.



~�Attention passengers, this is the final call for Flight 258 to New York. Please proceed to Gate 3.�

�I will call as soon as I get there.� She reassured him.

�You had better. Or I�ll come there and bring your little pixie ass home. Y�hear me?�

She laughed. �Okay Spaceboy. I love you.�

He hugged her tightly as the voice came over the intercom again. �Attention passengers, this is the final call for Flight 258 to New York. Please proceed to Gate 3.�

She reluctantly removed herself from his arms. �That�s my flight. I have to go.� She kissed him for what was to be their last time. �I love you Spaceboy.�

�I love you too, Cheesehead.�

As she made her way towards the gate she mouthed �I�ll love you forever� to him.

He in turn mouthed �And a day�, and blew her a kiss.

She pretended to catch the kiss in her hand. And with that she disappered.

He had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach as he watched her plane take off. But he pushed it aside thinking it was nerves. Little did he know that about two months later how right he was.

As the song ended, he was brought out of his revelry by a familiar voice. �Hello Micheal.�
