Crash World
I was originally planning on making this a revisionist kind of story but got intimidated when I realized that so much had happened on cannon since my original jumping off point that being said I decided to go the totally alternate universe/reality route on this. I don't own GH just my obsession
Crash
That was you and me
Started out so innocently
Shattered on the ground
I hear the sound

She pulled a loose strain of Blonde hair from her face as she made her way to her usual spot on a bench outside of Wyndoms Department store. She fingered the hem of her skirt as she reached for the brown paper bag beside her and pulling out a muffin taking a bite of it before picking up her cup of coffee and taking a sip. She suddenly heard footsteps. If this were a different time like say a few month, heck a few weeks earlier she would have been trembling in her designer boots in fear of the Text message Killer, the person who killed her sister and her boyfriend Cooper. As she listened to the footsteps approaching her on this otherwise silent evening she could tell exactly who they belonged to and she smiled.

Damian Spinelli approached the fragile blonde figure with extreme caution. Even though the past few months since wise Georgie's death the two former enemies had gotten closer he was still scared for many reasons. Reason one was that at any time the thought she's turn on him, go back to being the BAD blonde one, no longer thinking of him like a person but as the annoying geek she thought he was before. The second reason, he was scared that he was falling for her. There were many things wrong with that picture but mostly that Maxie was still grieving Cooper's death and her late sister had strong feelings and it would besmirch both of the dearly departeds memory.
"Breakfast at Wyndoms again I see."
Maxie looked up smiling at his comment. Truth was it was night, almost sunset to be exact. She then locked her light blue eyes into his dark ones and felt a sense of warmth. She noticed he wasn't wearing his trademark beanie on his head and his unruly mop of brown hair was blowing in the slow breeze of cool late March evening. She held out her muffin to him and he ripped off a piece smiling and taking a seat.
"Thanks."
"It was two years ago today...almost to the hour, the second."
Spinelli looked at her confused.
"Jesse."
That was all Maxie had to say to him for him to just nod before looking him in the eyes.
"Spinelli have you ever wished things could be different. That you could change time you know...make things different."
Spinelli scratched his head. He had thought about that many times. First he would of wanted to go back and have Lulu choose him over her other suitors. Then that idea changed and he wanted to have Georgie be alive. But now, now if he could turn back time to let one thing happen it would be to see to it that the Wounded Blonde One was...well not wounded that she could find happiness.
"What I wish is that we could have met in some other time, some other place."
"What's so wrong with the way we did meet?"
"I was hung up on Lulu and you hated her so you hated me by association."
"True."
She tilted her head up and reached for his hand.
"What are you doing?"
"I wonder if he's watching us, they are watching us; you know Jesse, Coop, and Georgie."
"I bet they are."
He tilted his own head back and looked at the setting sun spotting the first star.
"Let's do it Maxie."
"What."
"Wish you know, just for fun."
Maxie giggled and rolled her eyes at Spinelli.
"What the hell."
They squeezed each others hand as they closed their eyes making their wishes. Little did they know that as they had their eyes closed a shooting star passed over them?
Once they opened their eyes Maxie smiled at Spinelli.
"So what did you wish for?"
"I can't tell you or it won't come true."
Maxie pouted a bit as they sat for a while longer. Maxie telling Spinelli all about Jesse and him listing both not knowing that come the morning things would be different.

Please tell me if you like this so far and if I should go on or not. Suggestions loved especially about the following: should Spinelli and Maxie remember before (I'm leaning to no) and what should this parallel Port Charles be like (should it be the future with them married or something or be them meeting for the first time in a place where Georgie and other's are still alive)...also if you wish to know my original concept feel free to ask
