Disclaimer: James Cameron owns Dark Angel and the characters below, I'm just toying with them!
Setting: In a parking lot near Jampony. Its been a year since the end of season 2. The heat had died down and Max, Alec and a few other X5's was working at Jampony again. Max had cut her hair short, and was no longer under the radar. Guess good ol' White had better things to do with his time then chase Max around.
Special notes:
I never read the books, only skin games, so I have no clue what happened after season 2.
Also I have a new Beta and muse named Honey X5-452. Everyone thank Tanja for giving me some great idea's and corrections on this story!
Oh, I have revised Chapter 1 and 2! and finally, I'm working on chapter 3... after a year, I know, I'm a big loser guys, I promise, THAT will not happen again!

"You honestly believe that this is some predetermined universe, Maxie? Where it doesn't matter what I think or feel, tomorrow has already been decided?" Alec asked, letting the sarcasm drip from every word. Max let her eyes gaze up at Alec then back to the task at hand; oil isn't going to change itself. She just smiled.
"Yep!" Alec paced for a few moments and then paused to look down at Max. He let a sly little grin spread across his face.
"So, I drive you nuts now don't I Maxie!?" Alec asked with a grin.
"Yes you do!" Max answered without hesitation. Alec smiled, god he loved it when he got a raise out of her.
"And you'd never choose to, hmm lets see... I don't know, lets say you'd never go out on a date with me." Max made a gag noise and Alec rolled his eyes. "Well, lets say, heaven forbid, but theoretically the universe decided that tomorrow you'd fall in love with me. Imagine that, Max head over heals for Me, Alec!" Max sat up and glared at Alec.
"I'd never fall in love with you Alec!" Alec smiled and ticked his finger back and forth.
"Now come on Maxie, you know better then that. You don't decide your future; now do you!?" With that Alec leaned in and whispered in Max's ear. "See you tomorrow!" And with that Alec turned and walked away. Max rolled her eyes and got back to the task at hand, changing her over-due oil.
Max grabbed a bottle of Seattle's finest oil and filled up her baby. She'd never admit it but lately Alec has been able to do something to her. She hadn't been able to pin point it yet, but she was determined to get to the bottom of it. One month ago she'd break Alec's face if he ever tried to whisper something to her. Whats different? Why didn't she hit him? Why didn't she want to? Max rolled her eyes and threw one leg over her bike.
"Whatever" She said as she changed the gear and was driving down the street.

Max's and Logan's relationship was really taking a turn for the worst; even though Max would never admit it. She still had hope that they'd find a cure and be happily ever after, but, all they ever seemed to do was fight. She guessed it had a lot to do with the on going pretend relationship her and Alec "had" Psh, like she'd ever be with anyone so... sooo.. ALEC, mean come on! Max walked into the familiar house and smiled at the sight of Logan. Maybe today would be different, maybe it would be a good day.
"You know you keep paging like this I'm going to start charging you gas!" Max joked as she smiled at the long haired blond. Logan turned to face her, almost glaring at Max.
"What took you so long!?" He asked. Max rolled her eyes. Here they go again!
"Non of your business! Now what did you want Logan?!" Max asked, quickly going into defense and biting back at Logan.
"Nothing, don't worry about it!" Logan hissed as he turned and faced his computer. Max slammed her fist down breaking a table.!
"I wasted a half of tank driving here, I went through 4 check points and put my job on the line Logan! Now your going to tell me what you wanted!"
"Or what Max, you'll walk over here and touch me!"
Max went to yell at Logan but just threw her hands up in frustration. She had it, she couldn't go on like this. Month after month, fight after fight, Max couldn't live like this. She loved him too much to hate him
"Wanna be like that? Fine, do me a favor. Lose my number Logan!" Max said as calming as she could, than she walked to the door and walked away. She wanted to cry over him, but she'd shed to many tears for that. She had been crying for a little over a year now, it was time for her to say goodbye. Max took a moment to close her eyes and think about how to have closure. After a few minuets she reached into her leather coat and pulled out a small black phone.

Alec reached down and grabbed his phone. He looked down at the caller ID and smiled.
"Yello."
"Hey Alec, It's me, I need to see you!"
"Oh hey Maxie! Now what in the heck would be so important that you'd need to see me right now?" Alec asked Max with a smile.
"Just meet me at the warehouse in 40 mins. I'll throw in a candy bar!"
Alec chuckled. "All right Maxie! I'll be there!"
