(Switch to girls locker room at West Roswell High, where Liz is fantasizing about Max meeting her there)
LIZ (voiceover): It's February 20th. I'm Liz Parker, and lately I've been having these feelings, like I'm changing inside, and part of me doesn't want to change. Part of me always wants to be my mom's little girl. But the thing is, these feelings are strong...dangerous, undeniable. It's like I have no choice. It's like...chemical.
-------------------------------------------------------
(Scene shifts to the Crashdown where Liz has been sitting on a stool daydreaming about Max)
MARIA: Liz, nice strawberries.
(Liz breaks out of her daydream and knocks over a basket of strawberries)
MARIA: Are you ok?
LIZ: Yeah, I'm...I'm fine.
(Max walks into the Crashdown in search of Liz)
MARIA: You have a visitor. Mmm. Sweet.
(Maria walks by Max and gives him a strawberry)
MAX: Hey.
LIZ: Hey.
MAX: I hope this isn't my fault.
LIZ: Why would this be your fault?
MAX: If I startled you.
LIZ: No. You know, I always knock over strawberries this time of day. Always. I'm just gonna go get more berries from...
MAX: Well, wait. Here's another one.
(Liz goes into the kitchen area and Max follows her)
LIZ: What are you doin' here, Max?
MAX: Well, I have orders from my planet to take over the Earth.
LIZ: Besides that.
MAX: I want to make sure we can still be friends.
LIZ: Yeah. I mean, we are.
MAX: Good.
LIZ: Why wouldn't we be?
MAX: We really haven't been able to talk since...that night.
LIZ: Max, people do a lot of dumb things when they're drunk. Anyway, I understand.
MAX: And we're friends?
LIZ: Yeah. We're friends.
MAX: Just friends?
LIZ: Yeah. We're just friends.
(Liz turns around and starts to leave and Max grabs her and they start making out. As Liz becomes overwhelmed with emotion, she sees images of something flying through space)
-------------------------------------------------------
(Liz walks back towards her locker to go look in a mirror and sees Max walks into the locker room)
LIZ: Max!
MAX: Liz.
LIZ: What are you doing here?
MAX: I just...I wanted to see you.
LIZ: Here?
MAX: I had to know if something was real.
LIZ: If what was real?
MAX: Well, just like you seeing things...I've seen things. And...one of those...things...
(Max slowly looks around the room and there's a slight air of familiarity as in focuses on a shower head)
LIZ: You saw my fantasy?
MAX: I had to know if...if...what I saw was...really from you or if it was just my imagination, which...it definitely...definitely could've been. Except...I've never been in the girls' locker room. And now that I see it, and...well, it...it is the same room...I know I didn't make it up.
LIZ: This is really horrible.
MAX: No, Liz. It's incredible, really.
LIZ: This is not incredible.
MAX: Wait. Please? Listen. Please? The main thing is...I didn't just see what you saw. I felt...what you felt...when you saw me. And I never thought anyone could really...ever feel that way about me.
LIZ: Really?
-------------------------------------------------------
(Liz opens the door and enters)
ISABEL: Hi.
LIZ: Hi.
MICHAEL: How's it goin'?
LIZ: Strange.
ISABEL: I'll bet.
MICHAEL: All right. We're leaving now. But I got some Chaka Khan cued up in the CD player.
ISABEL: We're leaving. Bye.
LIZ: So, you told 'em, huh?
MAX: Yeah.
LIZ: And now everyone's just sort of cheering you on...like at a football game.
MAX: No. No, it's...it's not like that. I mean...yes, they want us to keep going so we can find out where all this leads. But...that's not...
LIZ: Max. I need to find out where all this leads, too. Look.
(Liz shows Max a strange rash that has appeared on her shoulder. Max puts his hand over it and it disappears)
MAX: It's gone.
LIZ: Thanks.
(Max moves his hand down Liz's arm, and a glowing light follows his hand)
LIZ: Max...do you understand any of this?
MAX: No.
LIZ: Can you take your shirt off?
MAX: Can I? Yeah.
(Max takes off his shirt and Liz tries to create a glowing light on Max's body by running her hand over his chest)
LIZ: I can't do it to you.
MAX: I'm glowing everywhere...my toes, my heart. You can't see it. It's on the inside.
LIZ: No, Max. We can't do this.
MAX: I know.
LIZ: You know, could I, uh..could I get sick?
MAX: I don't know anything. I don't even know who I am.
LIZ: You know, the...the mark went away because...because you touched it. Maybe...maybe it came because we were away for...too long. That sounds really crazy, but...it would be a complete disaster.
MAX: I can't ask you to do anything that might hurt you in any way.
LIZ: I know.
MAX: And I have no idea what that is...and what's right...or wrong.
LIZ: I know. I mean...and you know things...about me that you, um...that you shouldn't know. And my mother...my mother, who I love, is just gonna kill me...if i don't die from this.
MAX: You're right.
LIZ: I can't stop.
(Liz and Max starts making out again, and we see another batch of images from the crash. Soldiers are running towards some beeping object being buried nearby a radio tower)
(Maria accidentally interrupts Max and Liz)
MARIA: My God! I was looking for Michael. Um, something tells me he isn't here.
-------------------------------------------------------
(Liz and Max arrive at the area near the crash site)
MAX: It should be around here somewhere.
LIZ: Wow.
MAX: That's what's really there all the time. If we could only see it.
LIZ: So.
MAX: So.
LIZ: So we have to decide what our next step's gonna be.
MAX: Right.
LIZ: I guess we could just start...digging.
MAX: Or, uh...
LIZ: Or, um...we could look for the next clue.
MAX: Yeah. The clue idea seems more, uh...
LIZ: More efficient.
MAX: Yeah. Right this minute...I can't...not touch you.
LIZ: Let's just lie down.
(Max unfolds a blanket and spreads it out on the ground)
MAX: Are you scared?
LIZ: Well, I know I'm supposed to be, but...I'm just gonna put myself in your hands.
(A howl is heard)
LIZ: What's that?
MAX: It's a coyote.
(Max and Liz kiss some more and Liz winds up lying down on the blanket)
MAX: Are you sure?
(A beeping sound is heard)
LIZ: Oh, my God. Max, that's it.
MAX: What?
LIZ: That's the sound I heard in my vision.
MAX: Shh. It's over there. Come on.
LIZ: This is it, Max.
MAX: Here. It's right here.
(Max and Liz start shoveling the dirt at the spot where the beeping is coming from. They hit something and a bright blue light shoots into the sky)
LIZ: Max...something's down there.
(Max unearths a glowing rock with an alien symbol inscribed on it)
MAX: It's the symbol from the cave painting.
LIZ: Is this from your home?
MAX: I don't know.
LIZ: Maybe it's a signal...for...
MAX: Maybe.
-------------------------------------------------------
(Outside the Crashdown, Max has parked the jeep and he and Liz are kissing again)
MAX: Any flashes?
LIZ: No. And you?
MAX: Don't think so.
LIZ: Max...everything that we did, everything we felt...was it...was it all just about this...this thing? You know, we don't even know what it is.
MAX: Yet.
LIZ: Max, was it ever just about us? You and me? Because a person could feel like they just served their purpose. You know, like being used.
MAX: Is that what you think? Because you're not the only one who could worry about being used. I mean, some girls would give a lot to see themselves fly through outer space. You know, I'm sure it doesn't compare to other things you could be doing, like watching Kyle barf after a beer blast.
LIZ: I can't believe you just said that.
MAX: Why not?
LIZ: Because it really happened.
MAX: You're kidding me.
LIZ: No. I swear. Last summer. It was a really hot night...
MAX: You know what? No, no...don't tell me.
LIZ: Ok, so what you're saying is that you saved me from a life of watching Kyle barf.
MAX: Liz Parker...I don't think that was ever gonna be your destiny.
LIZ: No?
MAX: No.
LIZ: Ok. Fine. If you know so much, then tell me, Max...what's my destiny?
MAX: I only know the part I'm hoping for.
(Episode fades out as Max and Liz hold hands and walk into the Crashdown Cafe)
