DK Screwup

By: FunahoMisaki

(A/N: I own nothing and what if Max and Chomp fell through the portal with Seth and ended up in the past where they survived, grew, and thrived until they had to vanish for a few months while time caught up? Well…Reese isn't the only one in for a surprise. AU OOC bashing)

"He just…fell through the vortex and even though we checked for the day I was gone…we couldn't find him. He's lost somewhere in time with Chomp." Rex said clenching his fists and his teeth together as he told Mrs. Taylor where her son was after reuniting with his birth parents and screaming at Dr. Z for his part in how this whole thing came to be. Of course he and his folks had quickly vacated to go to the future to try and find Max but they had been ambushed.

"Don't worry. As soon as we get to the future and get the machine fixed, we'll find him and bring him back to this time." Dr. Ancient said looking upset that this had happened to this nice family that had taken in his son, all because of his time machine and Dr. Z and Seth's obsessions with dinosaurs. Dr. Z's was mainly harmless even if he was a bit…zany, but Seth…

"I don't…I don't think you'll have to wait that long." Reese said not looking at them all as she kept her sister in her arms. Zoe had been devastated by the loss of one of her best friends and had immediately rushed to her sisters arms for comfort when her second best friend was leaving for the future. Reese wasn't looking down at Zoe, instead she was staring at the car that had just pulled up. Well…less of a car and more of a limo but either way she was still staring at it.

"What…what do you mean sis?" Zoe asked trying to wipe away her tears while looking up at Reese who looked down at her and gently wiped away the tears falling down her sisters face and kissed her forehead.

The Ancients and Alpha Gang had made her baby sister cry. Her most precious person in the world was crying because of their actions leading up to Max missing from his family and time. She was never going to forgive them for hurting her sister like this.

"Because do you remember my boyfriend for the last six years? The one who stopped visiting a few days before all of this started because he said it would make sense after everything happened?" Reese asked causing Zoe to nod, she had liked Maximillion. He had made Reese smile and laugh, got along well with Rex and Max, and had treated her like a little sister.

"What's he got to do with anything?" Zoe asked confused and causing Reese to look at the man who had stepped out of the limo.

"I asked because I just realized what a shortened version of Maximillion is and the fact that this explains so much about everything." Reese said dryly as the man approached them causing everyone to look up at him confused as to why a well-known CEO was here of all places and now of all times.

"This is the secret you said that I needed to learn before we went any further in our relationship isn't it…Max?" Reese asked looking at the man who grinned at her and took something out of the bag on his back. It was Max's Dino Headband with the built in light up horns.

"Is…Is that really you Max? You…you and Chomp ended up in the past?" Spike asked staring at the brown haired man that was now a full head taller than him and in the casual clothes with familiar spikey hair and the eyes that were so much like his wife's.

"Well I know one way to remove all doubt." Maximillion said, his voice a little deeper than Dr. Taylor's instead of the almost high pitch it had been in adolescences, before he smirked and whistled a bit. The door of the limo opened again and out hopped a yellow/orange creature that rushed over to Maximillion and let out an almost bark like sound as it looked at the others.

"Is that…Chomp?" Rex asked staring at the triceratops that now came up to Maximillion's waist line and his horns had started coming in. The one on his nose was about two inches long it seemed, while the ones on his forehead were about four inches long. Ace and Paris were now trying to climb all over the taller member of their little herd, Chomp just let out a huff of amusement and laid down to make it easier on the little Chibi's.

"Well almost twelve full years…of course we've grown a bit." Max said with a roguish grin on his face as he looked at everyone with his hands in his pockets.

"M...Max…?" Aki Taylor asked stepping forward and causing Max to smile softer as he looked at the hopeful and yet shocked looking woman.

"Hey mom, hey dad. I'm home." Max said and then had to brace himself when his mother slammed into him with a hug and a sob.

"Oh my baby boy! I was so worried when I heard…Look at you, you've gotten so big." Aki said pulling back and fretting over her son after a moment and causing him to smile at her and laugh a bit.

"You've grown tall son, how old are you?" Spike asked walking over and slapping a hand on his sons back and being surprised when he didn't even budge but Spike's hand began to hurt.

"Twenty-six. Nice try dad but I've been working out ever since I was sent back in time. Ask Reese if you don't believe me." Max said grinning over at Reese and causing her to blush slightly at the looks everyone was giving her. Given the fact that she had mentioned she had dated him for six years…she knew what they were thinking but she quickly nipped that in the butt.

"He is my favorite sparring partner." Reese said and causing Zoe to look up at her sister shocked, she knew full well how strong her sister is and to think that the boy who had been her age just a few minutes ago was able to keep up with Reese...

"Max is able to spar with you?" Zoe asked in disbelief and causing Reese to smile and adjust her glasses just a bit so that the sunlight reflected off of them, making Max smirk as he moved his mother towards his father.

Just in time too since before anyone could react Reese was right in front of Max trying to slam her fist into his face. Max caught it with no effort even though the force behind her punch messed up his hair and could even be felt by the ones closest to the two.

"Missed you too dear. So how mad at me are you?" Max asked never dropping his smirk as he held her fist in his hand.

"I'm not mad at you. You weren't the one to open the vortex that sucked you into the past after all. Besides being mad is illogical since you couldn't have actually come out and told everyone who you were when you showed up like you did." Reese said and she was smirking as well although she did glare at the Ancients when she mentioned not being mad at Max. She was mad as hell at those two however.

"I'm going to be your punching bag and lab assistant for the next few weeks aren't I?" Max asked causing Reese to raise an eyebrow at him.

"Considering we've been dating for six years and yet you haven't thought to ask me a certain question yet…I think being my punching bag and lab assistant is the least you can do." Reese said giving him a look that he knew too well.

"Well I had to wait for all of this to happen and for you to learn the truth of my…shall we say origins? I figured you'd be pissed if I asked you before you found out. In fact I wasn't sure if you wouldn't completely break things off with me after you found out." Max said shrugging off the look but he was fingering the box in his pocket.

"You may be Max Taylor who vanished a little while ago and who I watched grow up with my baby sister but… you're also Maximillion Mystery, the boy who grew up with me a bit and the man that has been my boyfriend for the last six years. But if you need more proof…" Reese grabbed Max by the front of his casual but probably expensive shirt and pulled him down into a passionate kiss right there in front of the dinosaurs, her sister, and everyone else.

"I still love you, idiot." Reese near whispered the words when the two of them separated for air.

"Well that's a relief to hear. Now I just have to hope that your dad doesn't try to murder me." Max said with a large goofy grin on her face and causing Reese's smile to turn into a confused frown.

"Why would I be trying to murder you?" Dr. Drake asked confused as well as everyone looked at him.

"Well I didn't tell anyone the full truth of where I came from for one…and for the second part I didn't ask your permission or blessing first." Max said causing everyone to look confused and curious before their eyes widened as he pulled the ring box out of his pocket.

"Ow Chomp no! This is not to play fetch with!" Max yelped when his dinosaur nibbled on his arm just like old times, causing the box to drop from Max's hand and open as it hit the ground.

Rex and Zoe both busted out laughing at that while Ace was near rolling on the grass and Paris was giving out an amused cry as well. All of the adults were giggling or laughing, and even Reese was laughing quietly behind one hand.

Well they were laughing until Chomp gently picked up what fell out of the box with his frontal horn, and picked up a small slip of paper that had also fallen from the box in-between his teeth.

"Geez…if you wanted to help me out you could have just said so instead of biting me." Max said rolling his eyes at his partner but smiling as Chomp looked up at Reese and gently butted her leg.

"I take it this is for me?" Reese asked when Chomp dropped the intact paper into her hand, causing her to open it and read the small message inside before her eyes widened.

"Max…is this…" Reese asked her gaze going from the paper, to her boyfriend, to the ring on her boyfriends dinosaur.

"I was planning on doing it the old fashioned way but Chomp seemed to have a plan of his own. So what do you say Reese?" Max asked nervously and shooting his dinosaur a betrayed look while Reese was quiet for a moment as she picked up the ring off of the horn.

"Oomph!" Max let out a grunt when his girlfriend slammed into him like a freight train, taking them both to the ground before she kissed him long and hard until they were out of breath.

"Is that a yes?" Max asked grinning at Reese who smiled brightly back.

"Shut up and put the ring on my finger, idiot." Reese said as she stood back up, causing him to take the ring and slide in onto her left hand.

"I might be an idiot…but this ring means that I'm your idiot!" Max said while jaws dropped open at what everyone had just witnessed happen.

"I think I can live with that." Reese said moving to kiss Max again and causing him to pick her up and swing her around a bit, which made her laugh before he kissed her.

"What just happened?" Rex asked Zoe in disbelief as they stared at the scene.

Zoe's disbelief and shock was heard clear in her voice as she stared as well, although she was happy to see her sister look so happy as well.

"I think one of my best friends just proposed to my big sister."
