Max's Valentine's Dance
by: Terrell James
Chapter 1: Valley Valentine
One day in the villages of Shanghai Secluded Valley, everyone has been spreading all kinds of love everywhere when it comes to their loved ones and their longtime mates and that could only mean one thing; Valentine's Day is coming near. From decorations to flowers and everything in between...the entire of Valley is completely enamored with valentine's everything to celebrate the time they have with the ones they love.
And it speaks truth somewhere in the Bushido-Akio household and there's nothing but love all around; despite the fact that Valentine's Day is only a week away and there's a lot of time to prepare something special for the loved ones in the family.
In Oak Sung's backyard, we seek a 15 year old white tiger that's trying to understand the world very well and is always one to keep everything in perspective amongst all the bad things that had happened to him in his early childhood. Since moving to Shanghai Secluded Valley, he's felt nothing but peace and a whole lot of wisdom from such a teenage cub...yet still remains his humble, easygoing personality.
"Hey, Max."
Max turned around and noticed Musaki walking by and he said, "Hey, cuz. What's up?"
"Not a lot. Hey...can you do your cousin a favor?" asked Musaki.
Max could suddenly tell that he's gonna be stuck with a babysitting routine for Musaki's kids and he said, "You need me to watch your kids, aren't you?"
"Actually...that's not what I came here for. I want your advice on something. I know Valentine's Day is coming up and I want to do something special for Summer. What should I do?" asked Musaki.
Max blinked his eyes for a few seconds and he said, "Why don't you give her some roses or a romantic candlelight dinner?"
"I've always given Summer romantic candlelight dinners everytime and she always loves them. Roses...sounds like a good option. But what can I make it all the more special?" asked Musaki.
"Saki...whatever special it can be, just make sure you don't overdo it. I think Auntie Summer being around you might make it a special time for her." Max replied.
After hearing what Max said, Musaki could tell that he doesn't need to do anything else fancy to make it a special Valentine's Day for Summer and just to be there is good enough for her and it really helped a lot and he said, "Thanks, Max. I had no idea you could know so much about relationships."
"I don't. I just don't want you to come up with something weird to overdo it." Max stated.
"Right...of course." Musaki stated.
Max lets out a big sigh and climbs on a tree to look at the valley for a second and Musaki said, "When you come back to the house, can you watch Takashi and Kagehiko for me? I have to head downtown to find a wonderful present for Summer for Valentine's Day."
"I knew that one was coming. All right, Saki." Max stated.
"Thanks. And don't worry about Sora. Summer's still breastfeeding him." Musaki replied, after heading out of the backyard.
The term 'breastfeeding' froze Max in his tracks and he lets out a deep sigh and muttered, "I wish you didn't spit out the 'BF' word in front of me."
Stick around for this awesome story! BTW, Max is 15 in this story...so let's just say it takes place in a year before the events of 'Max's Choice'.
