 "Maxwell, I think this is one bad idea.”
"Oh, Michael, I for one am tired of riding around in this van! We need to have some fun for a change" Isabel gives him the "get over it look".
"She's right Michael, we need to get out and see something of the world, anything besides the inside of this van. I love you guys, but seeing a few new faces wouldn't hurt, either. If we don't, we're liable to start wanting to kill each other soon." Max said as he is driving down the road, glancing over at Michael.
Michael turns to look back at the rest of the group...they are all staring at him, waiting. Finally, Michael sighs. "Oh well, what the hell, I'd be out voted anyway."
Maria jumps up and hugs him around the neck, "Thank you, Space Boy!" Giving him a quick peck on the cheek, “You wait and see, you'll have a good time!"
"There's that sign again!" Kyle is looking out the window, seeing the same sign they'd seen for the past fifty miles. "Looks like we're almost there. Take the next right, and it's only about five miles away."
Liz, Maria and Isabel look at each other, grin and then do a high-five. "This is going to be so much fun!"
A few minutes later they are pulling into town, driving under a banner declaring the beginning of the 10th annual `50's week celebration. As they start looking around they notice everything looked like it had gone through a time warp...
"Man, it looks like we fell into Mayberry." Kyle was taking in all the old classic '50's cars parked everywhere. "My dad would love this!"
Michael looking around says "It looks like that movie "Pleasantville". If I start seeing people walking around in black and white, I'm out of here!"
"Pleasantville? I hated that movie." Max said as he starts looking around too. "I wonder if we can find a motel somewhere, I could stand a shower."
 They drove to the outskirts of town, finding a little out-of-the-way motel; Max goes in to get a couple of rooms. Driving up in front of a little duplex bungalow, he stops the van. "I guess this must be it. Anybody else want to hit the shower?"
"I'm just ready to go have some fun!" Maria looks at Liz and Isabel, and they start to giggle.
"What have you girls been cooking up? I don't think this will be good, I think it's a big mistake."
Isabel takes her hand and gives him a tap on the back of the head..."Don't be a party poop!"
"Party poop? Since when do you say party poop, Isabel?" Michael gives her this look, like maybe she's losing it.
"Since I've been locked up in that van with you for the past two months! You've driven me to it!" She starts to smile, for some reason she is just feeling free, like they didn't have a care in the world. Well, at least for the next day or two, she just wanted to feel like Isabel Evans, resident of planet Earth. She loved and missed Jesse more than anything and was always worrying about him; but just for today, she wanted to turn back time.
She reaches over and grabs Liz's hand who in turn grabs Maria's "Come on let's get this show on the road!" The three girls start to giggle and head for the other room.
"What's got into them?" Kyle looks from Max to Michael then back to Max, "I mean, I've haven't seen them like that before...oh... do you think it could be, well you know...hormones?"
"No comment, Buddha Boy, help me unload some this stuff." Max says as he hands Kyle a couple of duffle bags. As they walk up the steps into the other room, they hear laughing. Max smiles, he hadn't heard Liz or Isabel for that matter, sound so alive in a long, long time.
Max comes out of the bathroom drying his hair with a towel, looking at the other two guys; he starts to think that maybe this was one of the better ideas they'd had since they left Roswell. "Where are the girls? I'd have thought they'd be here by now."
Suddenly through the wall they hear a rather bad rendition of a "Grease" song. "We go together like ramma lamma lamma ka dinga da dinga dong...shoo bop shoo bop” then more giggles. Pounding on the wall, Michael yells "Are you guys about ready?!"
"Take a pill, Michael, we're almost ready!"
Michael looks at Max and Kyle, mouthing the words "take a pill" and shakes his head. "I think they need to have the water in this town checked...it does crazy things to people."
Just when they think they hear the girls coming out of the other room, they hear Liz comment, “You know Isabel, I think I like the other look better, could we change it back?"
"Are you sure, this one is definitely you."
"That's the problem; I don't to be "me" I want to be a little dangerous. I don't want the Sandra Dee thing, I want the you know....” giggles again.
"Maxwell, you may be in trouble." Michael slaps Max on the back, smirks and walks out onto the little porch of the bungalow.
A few minutes later the other door opens and the three girls walk out.
"Oh my God..." Was all that could be heard as Max, Michael and Kyle get their first look at what the girls had been cooking up.
