Chapter 1

Something strange was going on today. She just knew it. Max was sitting on the edge of her bed staring out of her window. OC came sauntering in telling Max to hurry up. "Oh come on boo. You better hurry up or you'll be late again and Normal aint gonna be happy." OC walked over to Max staring at her. "Boo hun what are you wearing and who's are those? Your hot sugar boo lend you his shorts did he?"

Max just sat there looking at OC totally shocked, then at herself. Suddenly realising what her boo was on about and not wanting to explain it right then just answered "My hot sugar boo?"

"Max don't change the subject, but if you don't want to explain just now fine, I'll be back later tonight to get the explanation. Now hurry and get dressed."

***************************************************************************

Within half an hour Max was clad in a pair of denim jeans, a tight black top and leather jacket, walking into Jam Pony. Normal was standing behind his desk as usual, yelling at employees and talking to Alec at the same time. How he manages to do both at the same time is beyond anyone's imagination. When Normal saw Max he stood there mouth hanging open slightly looking at his watch to Max to his watch. She walked over him thinking that he was ill from the look on his face 'Oh my God I can't possibly be worried about Normal can I?' she thought to herself, but noticing his actions she realised what was wrong.

"Oh my!! People, Miss-I'm-too-good-for-this-job is in fact early, half an hour early to be precise. So to what do we owe this honour too Missy Miss?" Normal looked like he was going to pass out with pure and utter shock.

"Just having a good day is all and thought I would come in early for a change." she said sweetly and walked away towards her locker.

After falling off his perch on Normal's desk from hearing the pleasant exchange in words from Max to Normal (normally she would want to be shot down dead than do that), Alec got up of the floor and followed her with Normal yelling at him that their conversation wasn't over yet and to get his ass back over there.

Ignoring Normal's consistent yelling, Alec walked up behind Max, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her close so all he had to do was dip his head a little to speak in her ear "So Maxie, do you have any idea on what could have happened to my lucky shorts?" Max felling slightly uncomfortable in this situation tried to wriggle free but Alec's grip on her tightened. Sensing her uneasiness Alec loosened his grip and spun her around so she was facing him. Max stood there with Alec's arms around her looking deep into her eyes almost panicky.

It had been a good few minutes before she realised she had better say something "Your lucky shorts? Uh, uh, um. I don't know what happened to them. Why? Should I? What do they look like?" she was starting to regain her confidence. Max knew exactly what had happened to them, where they were and what they looked like. She had managed to get hold of them a few days back, what happened was

**************************************

Alec and her had been doing an Eyes Only mission for Logan when they got caught in the in the rain. With Alec's place being nearer that is where they headed, by the time they reached Alec's apartment both transgenics were socked to the bone. Alec had insisted she stayed the night or at least until the storm died down a little. So Max had agreed and was sitting on the edge of his bed looking for dry clothes to wear, she had to wear some of his as she didn't have any with her. As she was looking through one of the drawers of clothes she found his underwear, she searched through them until she found her favourite pair and put them in her bag. 'Well why not I have a pair of Logan's, Skeatchy's, Herbal's, Zack's and numerous other brothers. So why not a pair of Alec's.'

********************************

And the worst of it was no there was definitely 2 things bad about this, one worse than the other. OC had caught Max wearing Alec's lucky shorts and his oversized T-shirt he gave her the same night, but thankfully she thought they were Logan's or so she hoped. Worst it seemed that Alec knew it was Max who took his shorts and he hadn't just miss placed them, it turns out he hadn't had visitors for a few weeks and had had them before she stayed over.

"Oh, come on Maxie..." he started but was interrupted by a voice they both recognised only too well.
