�Come on let�s go find them� Liz said and walked out of the tent.

The four of them walked out into the dessert and walked about an hour when they met Maria and Michael coming towards them hand in hand.

�Hey!� Maria said as the met each other. Alex and Liz hugged Maria.

�I thought that you would leave us,� Alex said to Maria.

�Leave my family, I don�t think so� Maria said sarcastically.

�Maria, I�m sorry I shouldn�t have said that� Isabel said ashamed of those words she had said the day before.

�It�s ok Isabel� Maria said hugging her.

�So how are you feeling Maria� Max said.

�Good, Michael and I are back together so how can it not be?� Maria said smiling. Michael came up behind her and pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

�Oh good Michael� Alex said choked.

�What?� Michael asked confused.

�Maria what did you do to him?� Liz said touching Michael�s neck.

�What?� Michael asked more confused.

�Is that what I think it is� Max said.

�WHAT!� Michael yelled, angry because no one told him what was going on.

�Michael you have a silver handprint on your neck.� Liz said.

�What did you guys do?� Alex said.

�Um, we had sex; I guess I got too carried away� Maria said smiling.

�Yea I guess you did� Alex said to Maria.

�Can you get it off?� Michael asked.

�I can try� Liz said and put her hand over the handprint. The handprint disappeared.

�Michael, how are you feeling� Alex asked worried about the whole alien/human factor.

�I�m ok� Michael said smiling down on Maria.

�You sure?� Max asked.

�Yes I�m fine as ever,� Michael said.

�Ok, let�s go back before the teachers begin to wonder where we are� Isabel said and took Alex�s hand.

The group walked back and when they were back at their site they found that all the kids and teachers were by their tents. Maria, Liz, and Alex froze dead in their tracks and looked really scared. They thought that they had found out about them. One of the teachers moved towards them. Maria took a strong hold on Michael�s hand. Michael noticed that they were scared.

�Where have you been?� The teacher asked angrily.

�We were�.� Maria stumbled.

�Yes?� The teacher asked, waiting for an answer.

�We were out looking for clues and stuff,� Isabel said fast.

�Ok, next time let us know� The teacher got a relaxed look on her face.

�Ok� Isabel said as she and the others relaxed to.

�Did you find anything?� The teacher asked.

�No� Alex said.

�Ok, we will leave and let you pack up your stuff� The teacher said and left with the others. Everyone left except for Tess (Max ex. girlfriend). She walked up to Liz and whispered into her ear:

�I know you were not out looking for clues� then she left.
