Disclaimer: I own nothing, I swear. If I did don't you think I'd have Clark Kent and Lex Luthor strapped to my bed right now?

Warning: This fic is sort of fluffy, I really couldn't help it I had to balance my thoughts since I've been writing The Havoc Series which is partly how this fic came about so I could have something to pull me back from the evil writing.

A.N. Liz's parent's know about her alien status and about the Pod Squads. But the Pod Squad knows nothing except what they were told in that hologram in the Chamber. Instead of Clark putting on the Red K. in the summer of S2 he put it on the summer of S1 after the storm. Jor-El has contacted the Kent's and Clark, the message was basically you must conquer and find your mate. And with Kyle he already knows about the aliens he's known for about 6 months. More changes will be found in the fic.

Prologue

Parker Home; June 23; 6:54 p.m.

Elizabeth Parker yawns while staring at the TV screen, channel flipping at break neck speeds, well not break neck but fast none the less. Her father never could understand how she could flip through channels so quickly and know it wasn't something she was interested in seeing.

It wasn't the fact Liz was an alien because Maria could do it too and she's as human as anyone is, maybe it was a girl thing. Finally finding a good show to view, Law & Order: SVU, she tossed the remote onto her bed lying back, enjoying watching the case unfold. Mmm, that Elliot Stabler could toss his clothes over her chair anytime.

This year has been difficult to say the least, for awhile everything was fine or as fine as it could be. She and Max had been hot and heavy for a couple of weeks about four months ago, before Tess came into the picture. After Tess arrived he became distracted until the point came when she saw them kissing out in the rain, it was then she realized she had to cut Max loose, it hurt, God did it hurt, but he didn't want to be with her anymore.

Max tried to deny that he wanted Tess, Liz even agreed to not break up with him for a week but yet again she caught them kissing, this time outside of Tess's house. She really did break up with him after that, the last thing she wanted was to be someone's second choice when their first choice was right in front of him or her and they were too stubborn to admit it.

After that Max and Tess were officially a couple, Liz was teased mercilessly by the popular student body saying things like 'Max dumped the prude', 'Little Lizzie couldn't compete with Tess', 'Prude Parker'. Your basic bull when one person breaks up with the other and the next day show up with their new squeeze.

Maria, being the best friend turned her back on Max and Tess every time they passed in the hallway scowling at Max for being so insensitive about Liz's feelings. There are times when Liz thinks Maria was more upset by the break-up then she was, probably since she viewed Liz and Max as being the perfect couple. He doted on her and she adored him so when they split it showed another relationship that didn't or couldn't work.

The rest of the Pod Squad, Michael and Isabel weren't cold to her, Kyle, Maria, or Alex but they weren't overly friendly either. Michael still had his on again; off again relationship with Maria and Isabel continued to dangle Alex on a little hook playing with him when she wanted someone to adore her. In case it's not obvious she wasn't a huge fan of Isabel; it wasn't because of her movie star good looks or even her cold snobbish façade. It was her treatment of Alex, Liz's best friend; she treated him like a doormat.

Wasn't till after the Pod Squad got the message from Isabel and Max's natural mother a month ago that they had decided to cut themselves off from their human friends. A meeting had been called, Max explained to her, Kyle, Alex, and Maria what their mother had told them and that they, they being the Pod Squad, were going to give destiny a try, not only that but they were going to get more in touch with their alien side.

Then they dropped the bomb so to speak, in order for them to get in touch with more of their alien genes they wanted to cut ties with them, the humans. Little did they know one of whom they thought were human, wasn't, not even close, if anything she was more alien then the Pod Squad. From what the P.S. had found out their abilities were just enhanced human abilities, while hers were pure alien.

After Max called the meeting to an end, Liz's three friends turned toward her as the unofficial leader. Instead of screaming that she's sure the Pod Squad expected from some of them, Liz simply nodded, respecting their wishes, and all she said was 'If that was what they wanted, they got it.' With their heads held high they left Michael's apartment, when they had gotten far enough away Maria broke down upset that Michael didn't even fight for their relationship.

For hours Maria cried with Liz and Alex comforting her, it took about two weeks before the Maria they knew and loved returned with a vengeance. During the past month Max, Tess, Michael, and Isabel were coming by the Crashdown, for aliens that wanted them to stay away from them they sure liked hanging out at the place where Liz and Maria worked and her friends hung out every day.

During a commercial break, Liz got up from her bed and began to throw her dirty clothes into her clothesbasket, she was going to do laundry tomorrow and didn't want to deal with getting all her clothes together in the morning. Yawning again she gets on her knees next to her bed and without thinking lifted her bed off the floor with ease checking if there were any clothes underneath it.

A shocked voice comes from her entryway. "Oh my God!"
