I thought I&#8217;d take this opportunity to say a few things on behalf of myself and the graduating class. Some of us are here tonight to walk across this stage and get our hard-earned diplomas and toss our caps in the air. But there&#8217;s another group here tonight, a group of people who are here for another reason altogether. They&#8217;re here to say goodbye. Goodbye to their high school lives. Goodbye to family and friends. You see, this group has been though a lot. And tonight is the night they&#8217;ve decided to call it quits. It&#8217;s been a long, hard road for them. They have a lot of wounds. They&#8217;ve lost people. People that were close to them. They&#8217;ve had each other to cling to. But tonight that&#8217;s all coming to an end. I&#8217;m a member of that group of&#8230;outsiders. I always knew I was different. And for a long, long time, all I wanted was to be another face in the crowd. But in the end&#8230;it wasn&#8217;t possible. I guess it never was. So from now on, I&#8217;ll just concentrate on being who I really am. Some of you might not like that. Some of you might even find that frightening. But that&#8217;s not my problem anymore. I have to be who I really am and let fate take care of the rest. So thank you, Roswell. Thank you for letting me live among you. Thank you for giving me a family. Thank you for giving me a home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Liz:<\/strong> I can&#8217;t tell you much more than that. It wouldn&#8217;t be safe. For you or for us. I can tell you that we&#8217;re far away and that we&#8217;re all trying to avoid the law and do good in the world. Oh, and I guess I should tell you that Max and I did eventually tie the knot. Give my love to Mom. Let her read this journal too. Then, give it to Maria&#8217;s mom, and after that, take it and burn it out in the desert by the ruins of the pod chamber, where my husband was born. So that&#8217;s the end. Our life in Roswell. What a long, strange trip it&#8217;s been. Will we ever go back? I don&#8217;t know. Even I can&#8217;t see everything in the future. All I know is that I&#8217;m Liz Parker&#8230; and I&#8217;m happy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> A team?
