Sounds like a plan
Okay everyone this is my first ever Thundermans fanfic so please go easy on me I'm not used to writing any. Hope you like it.
Phoebe's POV
Thinking of dares are so hard, especially trying to come up with a good one right there on the spot. I'm surprised that truth or dare hasn't been made illegal. Some of the dares people come up with are just outrages! Cherry says I'm over reacting, but I'd like to see her play truth of dare with Max!
Cherry's POV
Why is Phoebe taking so long to think of a dare! I know she's probably worried about what Max's dare is going to be-Why is he even playing with us? He usually wouldn't come within 20 feet of the both of us together-but I'm sure he wouldn't dare her to jump off a cliff or something, he's her brother. Well we'll just have to wait and see. It's my go now anyway. If Phoebe ever thinks of a dare for me.
Max's POV
This is so boring! Why did I make that stinking bet with Nora? I could be inventing anything right now. Like building a rocket, fixing my self-destruct system, smashing some stuff-anything! And instead I'm stuck here with my sister and her loser friend playing the most stupid game ever invented. I think I'm just gonna leave this isn't working.
"Hey Phoebe. Mind if I go because…"
"YES! GO! I mean you are excused." Phoebe interrupts with. Wow she was sad to see the back of me.
"Glad that you're happy to see me go." I sigh at her. Cherry shoots Phoebe a dirty look. I've never seen Cherry with a look other than a smile on her face before. Well there was one time and that still confuses me 'till this very day, and that was when Tara came up to me and winked which Phoebe says I 'apparently' almost fainted-yeah right, and I saw out the corner of my eye Cherry glaring at Tara. Weird…
"Phoebe! Max has only been here five minutes and he already wants to go. Well I can't blame him really, you're taking forever to…"
"I'm just trying to think of something good! Max go now!" I've never seen Phoebe so demanding in her life. And why is Cherry sticking up for me all of a sudden. Weird. Again. Nora can have my lazar gun if it means getting out of here.
"See ya then sis! Au revoir Orange." I laugh as I head out the door, but not quick enough before I hear Phoebe yell:
"Wow Max! You know French? I think I underestimated you."
Phoebe's POV
I came up with the best dare ever! And Cherry ain't getting outta this one! That was really bad English Phoebe. It's okay no one will ever know I thought it.
"Okay then Cherry, because you think I'm 'so slow,' how about this dare! I dare you for a whole WEEK to become a bad girl and…get Max to like YOU instead of TARA!" It's not that I have nothing against Tara, it's just that I like Cole, and if Max started going out with Tara, then dumped her or the other way around, Cole's parents would probably force him to break up with me and then my whole world would collapse! And I know Cherry hates Max. Every time he's around she turns into this sarcastically nice person or sarcastically agrees with him and not me. If that's not hate I don't know what is.
Anyway, going back to Cherry. She's really silent. Maybe I accidently froze her. No I can see her breathing. Why is she being so quiet? I've never heard her be quiet for more than five seconds.
Cherry's POV
I can't believe she just said that! I don't know what's worse. The for fit-To go make out with Max- or the dare-To make Max fall in love with me. To be honest, the bad girl things okay. I can pull it off. I think. Come on I'm not that girly. I think I should say something to Phoebe now. She's looking at me in a dazed expression like she's about to fall asleep. I nod instead and wave a hand in front of her face. She shakes herself a little and then asks:
"So, are you in?" Phoebe asks. I smile broadly, trying not to show my slight fear.
"Sounds like a plan."
The next day
Phoebe's POV
It's finally Sunday! Everyone who I've asked for their opinion on Sunday seems to hate it because it's the day before school starts and you have to sort out everything on that specific day. Personally, I get my school things sorted out on Saturdays so I can have a day of rest on Sundays. But today, I'm taking Cherry clothes shopping for some real Goth clothing. I don't think anything Cherry owns is black or really dark purple. But that's about to change.
Ooo the doorbell just rang! That'll be her.
"I'll get it!" Max? Why would he answer the door? I know I'm in my room and he's in the kitchen (typical) but he knows Cherry's coming over, and it's more than likely her. Oh well. I still need to finish my make-up anyway and this will be a good chance for the dare to begin without me! Mwahaha. Whoa. I have a dark side now. I hope Max isn't rubbing off on me too much…
Max's POV
I don't know why I said I'd answer the door. I knew it would be Orange, Phoebe told me she'd arrive precisely now so I should hide. Why does Pheebs think I hate Orange so much? I just realised I've been calling her Orange more and more lately. I don't understand it. Just open the door already!
I swing the door open and there is Cherry in her usual pink clothing line and wow…has she died the end of her hair purple?
"Hey Cherry." I say in my casual tone and stand aside to let her in. She doesn't reply to me which I find rather odd, only nodding her head as it's like a faint hello. What is up with her lately? Come to think of it, what's up with me and her?
"Giving me the silent treatment then." I sort of half joke. Turning around from the kitchen where she was looking, Cherry gives me the dirtiest look I've ever seen. Worse than Tara's!
"Is it your business what treatment I'm giving you?" She asks in a cold voice that sounds nothing like her. I just stand gaping at her. Hate to admit it, but I was almost scared of her for a second there. Me! Max Thunderman.
I shake my head abruptly in reply and she gives me a smirk but it's not a normal smirk. It's one of those ones that usually I would give like you don't want to smile but you want to show your enjoying or liking what's happening so you do that smirk.
"Good." Cherry answers slowly, peering at me through her layers of mask era or whatever it's called. I think we just kind of stared at each other for a flat two minutes. Dunno why so don't ask. Oh finally Phoebe is here hopefully she can tell me what's going on whoa…What in the name of pancakes is Phoebe wearing? She looks good in it though. Did I just think that? Gross dude.
Cherry's POV
I think my first bad girl attitude has actually worked on Max. He actually looked scared at one point. LOL! I love Phoebe's outfit. She's wearing black shorts with dark purple leggings, a purple shirt and where did she get that leather jacket from? I've never seen her wear anything apart from the shorts before. Her hair is all straight and silky as well! Wow. I can learn a few tips from her.
"Okay did I miss something?" Asks Max looking from his sister to me. "Is there like a new Goth phase that I didn't know about that's just started?" I want to laugh but that would be so un-bad girl-ee. Lesson 1 for being a bad girl: never say un-bag girl-ee again Cherry!
Phoebe just shrugs in response.
"I dunno. You tell me." Max's mouth fell open, and mine nearly did as well.
"Did you just steal one of my quotes?" Asks Max, in a slightly fake appalled tone, who takes big paces towards his sister until they are only an inch apart.
"Who said it was yours? Have you got a contract saying 'I Max Thunderman owns this quote?'"
I see a shiz storm approaching.
Max looks furious now. I mean come on it's obvious with one push Max could take down his sister, but I think he's restricted himself. I want to add something to this argument and tell Phoebe that we need to go shopping any day so she needs to hurry up.
"Just so you know, Phoebe, you're an A star student, goody two shoes and most importantly, a prat. So I'd advise you to stop right there." I can tell that Phoebe wanted to say 'Prat? Is that all you can come up with?' but Max's neck veins were pumping a violent shade of blue and I would not want to mess with him any further.
Phoebe just gave him a simple, emotionless look and pushed passed him over to me.
"Come on Cherry let's get out of here. We don't need to interact with idiots…"
"Max isn't an idiot Phoebe!" It just came out. I really didn't mean for it to, it just sort of…slipped.
Everything went deadly silent. You could have heard a pin drop. Phoebe's head turned dramatically slowly towards me and Max kind of gave me this unreadable look.
"Did you just stick up for Max?" Questioned Phoebe, the shock clearly visible in her voice.
"Again?" I was lost for words but then I thought of something quicker than my mind works. Leaning into Phoebe's ear I whispered:
"It's all part of the plan, don't worry." Realisation spread across Phoebe's face, although she tried to keep it furious to not give away anything to Max. He's giving me this glare that kind of looks curious and also a little dumbfounded. I cleared it falsely up with Phoebe, but I'm just surprised Max hasn't said anything yet.
"Is this some kind of joke between you two?" He asks crossing his arms. I'm beginning to worry if Max suspects something. Phoebe begins to walk over and stand next to her brother.
"Joke? My best friend just stuck up for you over me? Twice! Why would that be a blimming joke?" Wow Phoebe is such a good actor, but I don't know if I could survive an argument two against one, even if Phoebe is doing it falsely.
"Cherry? Do you have a crush on Max or something?" Phoebe made that sound so real I don't know if she's still in on it or not. What would I bad girl say to that. Think Cherry think.
"Uhh…Why would I have a crush on Max? That is like the grossest thing I could ever imagine." I think that did it, although Phoebe's kind of giving me this odd sideways look. And I guess bad girls don't say grossest. Before I could say anything else, Phoebe burst out laughing.
"HA HA! How could I even think for a second there you have a crush on Max? What's wrong with me?" I join in her laughing but you'd have to be an idiot to know that it wasn't fake. Max looks slightly bewildered.
He's just stormed off to his room. I feel really bad. It was such a lie whoa did I just say that no. No I hate Max he is so annoying. It's just a dare it's just a dare do not let it get to your head.
Phoebe's POV
I think my little plan worked: Get Max's hopes up and have them crushed right in front of his face. It'll make him want Cherry more. He'll yearn for her to caress him. This will make him pay for everything that he has ever done to put my crushes in jeopardy. Was that the right word to use? I don't know and don't care because when Max has his little heartless heart broken by Cherry, I will be there to laugh and watch. Wow I really am turning evil. Ah well. Now I know why Max likes it so much. Being evil's fun!
"Cherry we need to go shopping like now…Cherry?" That's weird. She has this dazed expression on her face and she's staring at Max's lair. Hmm, she probably feels guilty. That's it. She wouldn't actually…no. That's a silly thought Phoebe.
Waving a hand in front of Cherry's face, she is woken from her trance.
"Cherry shopping remember? What were you staring at?" As soon as I ask her that question the words flow out of her mouth faster than I can say.
"Nothing. Nothing at all let's go." And before I can say anything else Cherry is dragging me out the door and slamming it behind me.
Max's POV
This is insane? Okay I swear Phoebe and Cherry have lost it. Maybe every girl has. No I'm just over reacting. But how could Cherry be so mean about me? Saying 'Who'd wanna go out with Max. Hehehe.' Not funny. I know plenty of girls that would love to go out of me.
But I do know there is something going on, my senses are picking up slight evil from more Phoebe than Cherry. Don't ask me how I know I just do. It's like a sixth sense, detecting evil plotting or planning. But Phoebe evil? No. If she becomes evil she's basically stealing my spotlight, and I won't ever let her do that.
I'm gonna find out their plan one way or another, even if it takes spying on them while shopping. And going shopping willingly is not something that I, Max Thunderman does. But when I find out what those two are up to, they'll be sorry they ever crossed my path.
Hope you liked this first Thunderman's story. There will be another chapter. I'm not really sure if this will be a Chex story or just a plain Thunderman's fic but let me know in a review, so please do I really love to hear how I can make my story better…constructively. So see you next time. Bye.
