"Maria, Maria, Maria what am I going to do without my best friend."

"Suffer." Maria grabbed Liz and held her tight.

"Oh I'm going to miss you so much. Listen promise me you'll put a daisy and Alex's grave every Saturday for me ok?"

"You know I will."

"Oh and Lizzy take care of Sean ok and don't get in any trouble."

"I won't I promise."

"Max, Max, Max be careful ok?" Maria hugged him and whispered in his ear. "Good look with your son and if you need any help just let me know and I'll be down here in a flash." Max tightened his arms around her.

"Thank you oh man I'm going to miss you, you know that?"

"Yeah I know."

"Isabel oh Isabel looks like you're going to have to keep Michael in tow now."

"Oh god." Isabel said rolling her eyes then smirking.

"We're doomed."

"I know oh I'm going to miss you call me if he goes caveman on you."

"I will bye Maria."

"Kyle make sure our parents don't elope while I'm gone ok."

"You got it sis."

"Ha ha ha very funny. You better be careful though or we will be."

"Oh what fun that will be." Kyle wrapped his arms around her.

"See you soon ok?"

"Hey all you guys need to come down for Thanksgiving."

"It's a deal." Kyle let go and Maria walked up to Michael.

"We aren't dating any more so feel free to have fun and go wild."

"Oh I will." Maria looked him in the face.

"Don't worry after you I fear all men so you don't need to be concerned. I know we aren't dating and all but here's a present." Maria reached up and kissed him passionately.

"Hey I was supposed to do that."

"You'll live. I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you too."

"Oh and Michael answer my phone calls this time ok."

"Ok bye."

"Bye." Maria slung her bookbag over her shoulder and waved to everyone as she boarded the plane. Maria
got in her seat. It was a window seat. Twenty minutes later they took off. Maria looked out her window to see New Mexico for the last time in a long time.

*******************************************************

Maria looked over at the blonde girl next to her.

"Hi my name's Maria."

"I'm Andie. So where are you headed to."

"Oh Capeside I'm going to live with my Grandmother."

"Wow that's where I live. I'm going there I came here to visit with a friend. I've been living away from home for awhile but I made this quick stop before I came home."

It seemed both girls like to talk A LOT.  Pretty soon they spilled their life stories to each other. Well Maria didn't mention the aliens. Maria figured if she was going to live in a new town might as well make friends now. Apparently this girl was friends with her cousin. How the hell did this stuff happen it almost seemed to convenient but oh well might as well make the most out of a bad situation.

*****************************************************

Maria and Andie had gotten their baggage and where outside.

"Welcome to Capeside. You gotta ride?"

"No I'm just gonna get a cab."

"Are you kidding there is now way I can let you do that. You will ride with me."

"No offense but I don't know you."

"Oh give me a break if I run off the road and kill you I give you permission to haunt me for eternity."

"Fine, fine I'll ride with you."

Maria turned at the sound of a motorcycle. She could only see the back of his head but it felt as if she knew him. Andie looked at the direction of the was Maria was facing.

"Oh that's Chris Wolfe Capeside's own personal bad boy"

"Oh I was just looking."

"Cute isn't he."

"Well I've only sen the back of his head." As if on cue he turned around. Maria nearly fainted.

NO WAY NO FUCKING WAY!.

He shall them looking at him and started to walk over.

"Hi you're new at town I take it my name is Chris." he stuck his hand out and Maria shook it.

"Maria."

"Hey Maria we better go" Andie said pulling on her arm.

"Hey I'll see you later Maria." Maria looked back.

"See you later Zan." He whipped his head around and stared at her through squinted eyes. Maria just turned around and walked away with Andie.
