*Author's Note - So as far as I know, I'm the first person on the internet to write a Sydney to the Max fan-fiction tale. So excited! Love the show and love the potential it has for great stories. If you haven't watched it yet, check out the first episode which is on Youtube for free on the Disney Channel page now. Hope you all like this story and let me know what you think.

It was the first day of summer 2019 for Sydney Reynolds and she couldn't be more excited. She and her best friend Olive were finally old enough to go the outdoor pool without an adult and were excited to go with just each other. As they walked together down a sidewalk Sydney said, "I am so excited about getting in the water Olive. I got a brand new swimsuit my grandma bought me and it's so cute." Olive rolled her eyes and said, "Let me guess. It's the pink one piece with the yellow frills and the cartoon mermaid on it right?" A slightly embarrassed looking Sydney then said, "It's a cartoon dolphin actually." Olive then said, "Sydney, you're not a girl anymore. You're a woman now. And you should dress for the pool like you're a woman. Don't worry. I brought an extra swimsuit with me just for you in case. Trust me. You'll love it." A skeptical looking Sydney then said, "Okay. I guess..."

Years ago in the past... it was the first day of summer 1992 for Max Reynolds and he couldn't be more excited. He and his friend Leo were walking into a skate park together as Max said, "This is going to be the best summer ever Leo. For this is the summer I'm going to become as great as my hero: Tony Hawk. He became famous when he was a teenager too, you know. So I'm gonna need you to record my best moves I make this summer Leo. Because when we send my best tricks demo reel to Tony Hawk's fan club, he'll make the connections to make me famous." Leo then said, "Okay. But remember, my camera can only remain on for five hours a day. So lets not fool around." Max then put a helmet and got on his skate board as he said, "Okay. Here I go!" Leo then turned on his large video camera and began to film Max as he skated around the skate park. However as Leo had his camera move with Max, suddenly Leo became fixated on what was next door to the skate park... the outdoor swimming pool. Several young teen girls wearing revealing bikinis were just getting out of the pool and Leo immediately kept his camera on the girls. Max saw what Leo was doing as he said, "Leo. Why aren't you filming me?" Leo then said, "Uh, no offense Max. But I think I found something more interesting to film."

In 2019: Olive who was wearing a light green bikini outfit stood outside of the girls' changing room at the outdoor pool as she said, "Come on Sydney. You like fine." Olive then heard Sydney say, "I don't know Olive..." Sydney then stepped out of the changing room showing she was wearing a red two piece bikini that had a tight strapless top and tight bottom that was held together by two large sets of string ties and a very revealing and cheeky back that showed the majority of the skin that made up Sydney's buttocks. As Sydney looked at Olive she said, "This just doesn't feel like me." Olive then said, "What? Too much?" Sydney then said, "More like too little. Is this kind of outfit even legal?" Olive then said, "Oh poor innocent Sydney. Come on. Lets start swimming."

In 1992: both Max and Leo were looking at several young teenage girls diving into the pool water as Max said, "Oh my gosh. Those girls are so hot. Especially the one in the blue bikini." Leo then said, "I know. They're hotter than those girls I see on those late night HBO shows. And trust me. Those are fine women." Suddenly a young teen girl in a blue bikini looked at Max and Leo, and then got out of the water and walked over to them. With only a fence separating them, the girl looked right at Max and Leo as she said, "Are you two filming me?" Max then said, "Uh, no. We're just filming my skating exploits. You see my name is Max Reynolds and I'm a pro skater." Max then raised one eyebrow, smiled, and in a charming voice said, "They even say I'm going to be the next Tony Hawk." The girl then said, "Really? I've loved to see your moves. My name is Erika. We go the same school right?" Max then said, "I think so. So... wanna see some cool moves?" Erika then said, "Sure."

Sydney and Olive were both swimming in the lap lanes of the pool and had just finished. Sydney then looked at Olive and said, "Finished. Boy, am I worn out. I'm gonna get a snack." Sydney then stepped out the pool and just as she did, a boy around her age was walking by in red swim trunks and stopped to take a good look at Sydney. The boy then immediately said, "Wow. You look really beautiful in that outfit." A slightly caught off guard Sydney made a smile as she said, "Um, thanks. Hey. Don't we go the same school?" The boy then said, "I'm a grade over you but yeah. I'm Eric. You're Sydney right?" Sydney then said, "Yeah. That's me." Eric then said, "Hey. Do you mind if I take a picture of you? It's just I never want to forget how pretty you looked today. I'll buy you lunch if you say yes." Sydney then said, "Well... yeah. Sounds cool."

Max was roller skating up and down small ramps in the skate park. Then at one point, Max skated off a ramp and had his board twist in the air but still landed on it perfectly as both he and the board hit the ground. As Erika watched Max from the other side of the fence she said, "Wow! That was amazing!" Max then skated over to Erika and in a charming voice he said, "Eh... it was nothing." Erika then said, "Hey. How about you come over to this side of the fence. I'll buy you some lunch. We can sit together and get to know each other better." A wide eyed smiling Max said, "Yeah. Sounds cool."

Sydney and Eric sat together at a lunch table near the pool as Sydney laughed at something Eric had just said. Sydney then said "Oh man. Eric, you are so funny. You know, I should get back to swimming and... Oh my gosh. Look at the clock. Have we really been talking for four hours!?" Eric smiled as he said, "I don't mind. It's like a gift for my eyes every extra minute I get to look at your beautiful body." Sydney began to blush as she titled her head down and to the side a bit as she brushed some hair from her eyes while saying, "Eric, I... wow. I've never met someone who's just been so immediately kind to me." Eric then heard a buzzing noise on his phone. Eric then looked at his phone and said, "Sorry. Gotta go. Dad is here to pick me up. You on Snap Chat or Twitter?" Sydney then said, "Yeah. I'm SydGirlRocks1 on both of them." Eric then said, "I'll message you on one of them tonight. And Sydney... I had a great afternoon with you." Eric then leaned over and kissed Sydney on the cheek. Sydney blushed as Eric began to turn around. Sydney then yelled, "Eric, wait!" Eric turned around and then Sydney immediately threw herself at Eric and kissed him on the right on the lips. Sydney wrapped her arms around Eric's back while Eric wrapped his arms around Sydney's back and squeezed her butt with his hands. Eventually their kiss ended and they let go of each other as a smiling Sydney said, "Can't wait till you message me tonight."

Max and Erika were sitting together at a lunch table near the pool as a laughing Erika said, "Oh man Max. You are so funny." Max then said, "Well thanks for the nice food Erika. But I better get going home and..." Erika then cut Max off and said, "Watch that VHS tape your friend made of me swimming. I know you and him were checking me out earlier." Max's face suddenly began to turn red as he said, "Um, it's not what you think. We..." Erika then said, "It's okay. My boobs only came in this past spring and was worried nobody had noticed them yet. Just glad to know one of the first guys to notice me was a handsome and accomplished athlete." A smiling Max said, "Really? You mean me? You think I'm handsome and an accomplished athlete?" Erika then said, "Yeah. Anyway, it's 4:00 and my mom is about to pick me up. But..." Erika then took out a pen and wrote a phone number on Max's arm. Erika then smiled as she looked right at Max and said, "Call me tonight. I'd like to see where this goes." Erika then got up and walked away. As Max watched Erika walk away in awe for a moment, he then began to say, "Yes. Yes! I am the man!"

Sydney opened the door to her house wearing her regular clothes as she saw her father: Max, and her grandmother: Judy were sitting on the couch watching TV. Max then said, "Hey sweety. How was the pool today with Olive? Did you have fun?" With a big grin on her face Sydney said, "It was the best day ever. Anyway, I have to go my room now. Bye." Max then got in front of Sydney and said, "Now whoa. Hold on. You can't just say it was the best day ever and then walk out of here. Why was it such a great day?" Sydney then looking a bit defensive said, "Um... it was just a fun day to swim. I don't have to tell you every detail of my life, do I? No excuse me." Sydney then ran up to her room. Max then looked at Judy and said, "What was with that? Mom, is this some kind of teenage girl thing I should be worried about?" Judy then said, "Hiding things from your parent? No, it's an every gender thing for teenagers. I should know. I had to deal with it with you. As for whether you should be worried about it... well... that's hard to say."

Max dragged a phone still connected to the wall by a cord into his room and shut the door. Max then dialed a number and after a moment he said, "Erika, is that you?" Max then heard Erika say, "Max. Oh hey. Thanks for calling. Hey. I had so much fun hanging out with you today." Max then said, "Yeah. Me too. So you wanna hang out tomorrow and... Wait. Is that running water I hear in the bathroom?" Erika then said, "Yeah. I'm getting ready for a bath right now. I'm holding a cordless phone in the bathroom right now actually." With wide eyes Max said, "Wait. You're in the bathroom about to take a bath. Then that means you're..." Max then heard Erika said, "Naked? Oh yeah. I'm 100% nude right now Max. Does that... turn you on a bit?" A smiling Max said, "Yeah, it does. In fact um... I'm naked right now too." Erika then said, "Wow. What a coincidence. I so wish you were here with me right now so we could take a bath together and then sleep together in my big comfy bed." Max then said, "Yeah. I wish I could too." Erika then said, "Well, why don't you? I have the house to myself tomorrow while mom is at work. You wanna come over and... make some sparks in my bath and in my bed tomorrow?" Max's face became very red and nervous as he said, "Um... yeah... sure."

Sydney laid on her bed while texting on her phone. While looking at her phone, Sydney looked at a text from Eric that said, "Still looking at the pics I took of you. You are so hot. Don't think there's any way you could look more beautiful." Sydney then texted back, "Well I think I know one way." Sydney then pressed the attachment button and immediately sent Eric a picture of herself taking a selfie in front of the bathroom mirror wearing just a small towel that went from her arm pits to just below her crotch area. Eric then texted Sydney back and said, "OMG! You are so freakin HOT! I would kill to see you drop that towel." Sydney smiled as she texted back, "You really would?" Eric then texted back, "YES! Wanna do it at my place tomorrow in person?" Sydney then texted back, "What? Really?" Eric then texted, "YES! Dad is at work all day. Come over and lets continue our kiss from today but NAKED this time! What do you say?" Sydney sat still for a moment. Then after that moment passed, Sydney texted back, "COUNT ME IN!"

Max knocked on the door to Erika's house and stood still and nervous for a moment. Erika then opened the door wearing a bath robe as she said, "Hey Max. Come on in!" Max then stepped into Erika's house and looked around as he said, "Whoa. Your place is big looking." Erika then grabbed Max's hand and said, "I know. But come on. Lets go to my bedroom." Erika then led Max into a bedroom complete with a large bed with a hug fluffy pink blanket on it." Erika then walked over to the bed and looked straight at Max as she said, "You like the bed?" Max smiled as he said, "Yeah. Looks nice." Then Erika untied her bath robe and had it fall to the ground showing Max she had no clothing under it. Erika was now completely naked in front of Max as she smiled and said, "So... do I look nice?"

Sydney was walking down the stairs of her house as she said, "Dad! Have you seen my phone?" Suddenly Sydney turned her head and saw her father Max sitting on the couch holding her phone as he said, "Yeah. So Sydney... have any big plans today? Going to anyone's house towel-less?" Sydney froze in her tracks as she said, "Uh oh. Dad... I can explain." Max then said, "Oh, I'm sure you can. Sit down Sydney." Sydney then sat on the couch next to Max as Max had a very upset look on his face. Sydney then looking a bit nervous said, "Now to be fair, you promised you'd never look at what was on my phone after I finished seventh grade." Max then said, "And to be fair, you promised you'd make good choices on it. But it's more than that Sydney. How long has this strange thing between you and Don's son going on?" Sydney then looking surprised said, "Don's son? Wait! You know Eric's dad!?" Max then said, "And it's a good thing I did. And by the way, I already called him and trust me. That parent and child pair are having a much less civil conversation than we are right now." Sydney who looked humiliated now said, "I... I'm sorry dad. I'm so sorry. I really messed up. It's just... Eric started complimenting about how I looked and I just felt all these weird feelings inside me and... I guess I was just stupid dad. I was really, really stupid." Max then said, "No Sydney. You were acting like a teenager. Human biology is kind of strange like that. You go through childhood just fine and then one day... Boom! All of these new feelings start hitting you and you aren't sure how to handle them right. I should know. I went through the same experience... and I know I sure didn't them handle the right way." A curious looking Sydney said, "What do you mean?" Max then said, "When I was your age I also got real chummy with this girl I met at the pool. And just like with you, I was invited over to her place. The only difference is... no one stopped me."

Max and Erika were both laying naked in bed with a blanket covering them. As Max looked up the ceiling with a dazed and confused look on his face he said, "That was it? I mean... it was so fast. On those HBO late night specials they always made it seem like it would feel... more special." Erika then with a casual voice said, "Well... it was kind of fun. At least now I get to tell all my friends that I lost my virginity before them. They are gonna be so jealous of me." An annoyed looking Max said, "Wait, what? This was all about beating your friends to some kind of goal? Is that all this was to you?" Erika then said, "Well... I mean you are kind of cute." Max then stepped out of the bed as he said, "I'm out of here."

Sydney looked at Max with a shocked face as she said, "Wait. You mean mom wasn't the first girl you..." Max turned his head and said, "No. And I've regretted that choice every day of my life since. Now yeah, I could just blame the hormones but... Sydney, the new feelings any of us experience as we journey from childhood to adulthood can be pretty scary. And you know what... it's kind of a good thing to be scared of them. Because then it makes you realize you need to take the time to better understand them so you can master them; rather than have them master you. I mean you've just started your journey to become an adult. You still don't know for sure if it's guys you like. Maybe in the next few years, you'll learn you actually have stronger feelings for girls. Or you'll start to have feelings that tell you you're supposed to be male instead of female." Sydney made a small smile as she said, "Dad, I am 100% sure I'm a girl." Max made a small smile as he said, "You know what I mean. But the teenage years are when you're exploring your sexuality and identity. You've still forming into the adult you're going to be for the rest of your life. You still have to know who grown up Sydney Reynolds is and learn to love her before you're ready to love some one else completely. And when you do, I hope you have the kind of relationship I had with your mother. Because she waited to make sure she understood all of the feelings she had inside her when she finally decided to give herself completely to me. And because of that... it created you." Sydney smiled as she said, "Thanks for sharing that with me that dad." Sydney then got up and hugged Max. Max hugged Sydney back for a moment and then said, "You're grounded all summer without your phone, you know that right?" Sydney looked up as she said, "Yeah, I kinda figured that was unavoidable."

Max was shooting a basketball into a hoop by himself at a neighborhood basketball court. Suddenly Leo appeared running over to Max and said, "Oh my gosh! Max! Word is you slept with Erika! Is it true?" Max sighed and said, "Yeah. It's true." An excited looking Leo said, "Wow. You were a player this whole time and never let me know. Awesome! So anyway, I think Erika's best friend Becky is into me. Mind helping hook a brother up so I can have the same kind of fun with her?" Max then said, "Leo... it's not worth it. Anyway, I gotta go home. See ya." Max then walked away from Leo with a miserable look on his face.

THE END... (ALMOST)...

Post Credits Scene:

Max was walking down the hallway of the house vacuuming. He then opened up the door to Sydney's room as he said, "Just vacuuming and... OH MY GOD!" Max then immediately turned his head away with a freaked out look on his face as he said, "Sorry Sydney! So sorry. But... what were you..." Sydney then walked over to the door covering her naked body with just a blanket as she said, "I was just learning to love myself. You know, before I'm ready to love some one else completely like you said. Now knock next time!" Sydney then closed the door to her room as a freaked out looking Max said, "Um... Your grandmother is the only adult in this house that is ever going into that room now. Because lord knows I never will again." Then Max walked away with a freaked out look on his face.
