| Author: Reena Email: [email protected] Rating: uh, average, PG15 The chaos that began the day was slowly dissipating. Things were turning away from chaos and heading towards order amongst the four interspecies couples. Basically, things were getting weird again... * * * Ooomph! Ow. Watch where you're going! Oh...oh... "Max?" Liz Parker watched her Max Evans rub his forehead, first a look of anger in his eyes and then surprise. And Liz's mind ran with it...he better not be telling her not to ditch class, he better not be telling her that he's still weirded out by Kyle's stupid comment, and he better not tell her to- "Oh. Liz. Hey. You, uh, okay?" "Um, yeah, I'm fine...and you?" "Um, fine." And then silence. Whatever Spazz Attack had been coursing through her, causing her to snap at Kyle and snap at Michael went on hiatus. Actually, if Liz had seen Max before ramming into him and looked close enough at the Boy Who Would Be King she would have seen a scowl that mirrored her own. But she didn't see it... "So where were you going?" "Nowhere. And you?" Wait a sec...this wasn't the Spanish Inquisition. This was just her boyfriend. And if he wasn't telling her where he was going, she wasn't going to be telling him where she was going. "Nowhere." Yeah, that caught him by surprise. "Actually, I was looking for you." "Really?" The infamous Parker smile was flashed at the comment. "Yeah, uh, today's been really weird with everyone...really weird...and I was thinking of taking a drive and wanted to see if you wanted to come..." Oh, yeah, Liz thought to herself. Order was definitely coming back into her world. A road trip with Max. Maybe they could take the old highway together-sans the car accident. "Um, yeah...I'd love to go with you..." Max flashed her his own winning smile, then grabbed her hand into his. Then, a gnawing responsibility hit Liz...but she shoved it aside. Her wacky friends' problems were their own. But if Max made one mention about the bra inc- "Sorry for acting like such an idiot over a Kyle comment. It was stupid of me..." But if he mentioned it like that, then... "Yeah, it kind of was. Why did you act like that?" "Well, the thought of Kyle seeing you in a bra-" "Max, that was before we even-" "I know. And I had no reason to act stupid...and I guess it's really Tess who should be upset, not me..." "You really have been spending a lot of time with Maria, haven't you?" "Well, uh, yeah. She's even roped me into shopping with her this Saturday..." "Ah, deprogramming, huh? Spending too much time with Michael?" "Of course." "Well, I wouldn't worry about it too much..." "What? Really?" "Yeah, I have a feeling Maria will be very much into Michael by Saturday." "Why?" "Oh, no reason..." "Come on, it's got to be good...Michael wouldn't even tell us..." "Well, let's just say that someone better be getting her favorite flowers delivered during the dinner rush from her boyfriend or else that boyfriend is going to have some serious explaining to do..." "Wait a second. You convinced Michael to get flowers for Maria? Delivered to her? At work?" "Yep." "Wow. I'm impressed." "Why, thank you." "Yeah, well if he doesn't pull through, you'll have to step in line to get a crack at him. Because I can't handle that stupid candle store that Maria always drags me to, making me smell all of those candles..." Liz Parker watched her boyfriend shudder at the thought of the candle store, and secretly smiled. "Well, don't worry...I have a feeling you'll be candle-free this weekend..." And the two dreamers walked off into the sunset. Well, okay. To the Jeep. In the afternoon. On a Monday. But it was still romantic... * * * Another interspecies couple was getting order back to their own relationship. And it kind of made sense, if you thought about it...Tess's advice from Dr. Alex had actually sunk in. She was going to forgive Kyle for his beyond-stupid comment. Because, in the end, he didn't mean it to hurt her or piss her off. He wasn't like that, at all. He had a smile that made her insides turn into putty. His blue eyes danced in a way that made her swoon inside. Granted, he was a Chia Head, but he was her adorable Chia Head. He made her laugh. He made her care. He made her human. Even though he could drive her insane, especially when he and Jim would sit on the couch like potatoes ravishing whatever junk food they could find while watching whatever sports game was on. They were incapacitated during those games. Grunts, groans and monosyllabolic words... But then he would call her "My Favorite Martian", and she was back to mush. He was fun. He was silly. He was goofy. And he was by far, the most interesting boyfriend. And the stupid flying saucer pancakes he would cook for her on Sunday mornings... *Sigh* But he was still on probation. For another thirteen minutes. * * |
