EAVESDROPPING
The thing everyone should know about Tess is that she is hugely nosy.
She loves to eavesdrop on conversations. Especially if it involves a
human and an alien fighting. Which was why she is so happy when, as
she is walking by Liz's place, she hears Michael and Maria arguing up
on Liz's balcony. She cannot make out the words so she climbs halfway
up the ladder. Maria is saying that she came over to Liz's
specifically to get away from him. He wants to know what is going on
with her and Brody. She tells him that it is none of his business,
that they are not together and that he should go and make out with a
skin. "Oh, this is getting good" Tess thinks. She climbs higher up
the ladder. However, she is almost discovered this way. Maria says
that she is not going to stand around and have him yell at her for
hanging out with someone else. She goes for the window, Michael
closes it with his powers, she then goes for the ladder, he detaches
half of it from the balcony. Tess hangs on for dear life. Michael's
tells Maria there is one thing she needs to hear before she leaves.
"Oh yeah, what? that the reason you can't be with me now is that you
realized you're in love with Max?" Michael does not look pleased.
"No, I realized that when I said maybe I loved you too much, I was
wrong" Maria's face drops. She cannot speak and her eyes begin to
tear. He takes a step towards her, "There is no maybe about it. I
love you and I won't let you leave." With his powers, he takes out the
other half of the ladder. Tess falls to her death and M and M are so
into each other...they don't even notice. Boo hoo.
