"Thank god it's Saturday." Maria mumbled against her pillow. She had been in Capeside a week.

"Morning sunshine" Pacey said as he entered the room.

"Bite me." Maria said still trying to wake up and the sun was beating directly in her eyes.

"Oh someone sure is happy." Pacey said sitting down on her bed.

"Why the hell are you here so early I thought we where night people. Have you betrayed the sacred  religion of sleeping in." Maria said rubbing her eyes and sitting up.

"Hate to break it to you hon but it's 2 pm."

"WHAT??" Maria screeched jumping out of bed and grabbing her clothes. "Give me five minutes."  Maria practically ran out of the room. Pacey just shook his head and chuckled. If she didn't hurry she'd  be late for work at Dawson's Moms restaurant.

"I'm ready." Maria said at the door she was wearing her uniform and had her hair in a messy bun. "Lets
go."


Outside the restaurant.

"Thank you so much Pace you saved me hide." Maria said kissing his cheek.

"Any time doll. Hey are we still having popcorn and movies at your place tonight?"

"You betcha I'll get the movies."

"If you get the snacks." Pacey finished for her. She blew him another kiss and dashed inside.

"I'm sorry I'm late Jen."

"Don't sweat it. Your late by two minutes I'll let it pass this time." Jen said in mock seriousness. "Take table number four would ya."

"No prob."

Maria walked up to table four putting her apron on and pulling out her notepad.

"What can I get you today?" She asked the costumer without looking up.

"Top secret F.B.I. files and a date with you." Chris (a.k.a. Zan) said looking up at Maria.

"Ha, Ha very cute." Maria said getting frustrated. "What would you like to eat."

"I'll have the special and a cherry coke don't forget the tabasco sauce."

"Coming right up." Maria said not even bothering to put on a fake smile. Suddenly she felt his hand on her arm. 

"Why don't you go out with me."

"I have a boyfriend." Maria said getting more annoyed by the minute.

"Who said we had to be boyfriend and girlfriend I was just implying we hang out unless you want.."

"I don't. Why do you want to hang out with me?" Maria said looking at him suspiciously.

"Look no one knows about my secret but you. You took care and helped the aliens in Roswell I  thought we could hang out talk about stuff unworldly considering I can't talk to anybody else."

"Look I meet the other dupes and they're less than nice. In fact they're back stabbing pricks so give me one reason why I should help you." Maria said putting her hands on her hips.

"Cause I've never had anyone I could trust but I want to. So will you just talk to me." Maria looked at his chocolate doe eyes. He had that innocent look Max does.

"Look come over Sunday at noon we can talk ok right now I have to get back to work.:" Maria said walking off she looked back to see that puppy dog grin Max always has when ever he's around Liz.

'How the hell am I going to get out of this one?'

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

Maria and Pacey where in Maria's room pigging out on junk food when Maria asked him.

"Pacey What do you do if there's someone you don't trust shouldn't trust but you said you'd trust  them. You only said it because there doubles are your friend but the other doubles are bad news so does this mean he is too or..."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Pacey asked with a bewildered expression.

"Well online I shall this story test if you will on what would you do and I was wondering how you'd handle it."

"Ok tell me the story."

"Ok say you are really great friends with this group of kids but they're different say like they're aliens. Ok say they where cloned from these aliens they where in a past life. Except they cloned the past life person twice. Are you following me?"

"I think so just go on."

"Ok so you're close to this on set what happens if you meet the other set except minus one because they killed him or her and the rest of them are evil I mean jerks. So you escape them but later on you find out the one they supposedly killed they didn't and he was alive. Should you trust them considering the others or should you trust him because he said he's changed or trust him because of the fact he's like your friend. Should you tell the other set even though he or she asked you not to or.."
