Okay! I know I said this would be my twelfth one-shot for Zevie Month, but I have changed my mind. This will be the first chapter of my Mulu story. It didn't teally work as a one-shot so I'm splittimg it into chapters! I also said this one was going to be different, and by different, as you already know, this story is based off of the lovely two people that made Zander and Stevie who they are today to us and all the other Zevians out there! Hope you enjoy! I also plan on keeping my promise of finally getting to that Kucy one-shot I have been promising for a LONG time now, sometime after New Years! Oh, and Happy New Years!

MAX'S POV

i haven't seen Lulu since the days we recorded "Finally Feeling Like Christmas."

Even then, she was hanging out with Daniel the whole time so it's not like we had time to hang out and catch up like before.

That's when I decided to ask Lulu to sing a duet with me for a video with Kurt.

To Lulu

From Max

Hey baby, want to do a duet with me for one of Kurt's videos?

About five minutes later, she texted me back.

To Max

From Lulu

Sure, Darling! Name the time and place and I'll be there.

Looks like I will get to catch up with her.

LULU'S POV

I was surprised, to say the least, when I got the text form Max saying he wanted me to do a video with him and Kurt.

Last time I checked, he was too busy with Victoria to even ask me how life has been when we were recording "Finally Feeling Like Christmas."

I know it's mean to say, and I don't mean it in a mean way. It just seems like I spend all of my time with Daniel, and he spends his with Victoria and Kurt.

Of course, I wasn't going to say no to spending time with him.

He's practically my best friend, even if I never get to see him.

My phone buzzed next to me.

I opened it up.

To Lulu

From Max

Meet me in the coffee shop tomorrow at ten.

I smiled at the thought of all the memories we shared there.

To Max

From Lulu

Okay, see you there! :)

I still had a whole day until we meet, but I was already excited.

When ten o'clock AT NIGHT rolled around, I was too excited to even sleep.

Somehow I managed to fall asleep around midnight.

When I woke in the moring at seven o'clock, SEVEN, all I wanted to do was crawl back into bed and sleep.

Obviously, my mind wasn't about to let that happen.

Sighing heavily, I got up and showered.

When I walked downstairs, my mom was in the kitchen reading the morning newspaper.

"Good morning, Sweetie," she smiled, looking up from the paper.

"Hey, Mom."

"Why are you up and showered so early?" she asks me.

"I couldn't sleep so I figured I should just get up."

"Okay, do you want breakfast?"

"Um, actually, I'm meeting Max this morning so I'll just eat then," I say sitting down next to her.

"Wow, how long has it been since you actually hing out with Max?"

I sat there thinking.

"I don't even know. It's been awhile though."

"It has to feel like so much longer since you used to hang out everyday," my mom says. "Now all you do is hang out with Daniel... not that that's a bad thing," my mom quickly adds.

I laugh, "Yeah, at least Daniel has time for me."

Her eyes widened at what I had just said.

"That was mean," I stated as she nodded her head.

"Well, did Max ask you to meet up, or did you ask him?"

Somebody's into the interrogations this morning.

"Max did, but he wants to talk to me about doing a duet with him for one of Kurt's videos."

"Ahh," my mom says. "You think he's just using you for his career since your duet with Daniel was so successful, even though we both know that's ridiculous."

"I'm pretty sure that's not the case, Mom," I assure her, but I can't deny it hadn't already crossed my mind.

It was only seven-thirty when the interrogation was over.

I guess I still have some time to kill.

MAX'S POV

I would be lying if I said I wasn't excited for tomorrow.

Lulu was one of my best friends, and it was hard to be away from her for so long.

I hope she didn't think I was just using her since her duet with Daniel was such a hit.

I mean, come on, who doesn't love that song. (A/N Just for the record, it's like my favorite song... EVER!)

I didn't get much sleep that night, and I was up and ready to go at the crack of dawn.

I walked downstairs to see my mom reading the morning newspaper.

I walk up behind her and plant a kiss on her cheek, "Hey, Mom."

"Good morning, Max. Can I ask why you are all dressed up so early in the morning?"

"I couldn't sleep, and I'm meeting Lulu today so I figured I should just get up."

"How long has it been since you talked to her for more than a couple of minutes?"

"Awhile," I say simply.

"It has to be wierd not seeing her everyday," my mom points out.

"Sure it is, but that makes spending extra time with her today logical."

"Did you ask her to meet up?"

"Yeah, I want to talk to her about doing a duet with me for one of Kurt's videos."

Her eyebrows raised, "You don't think she'll think you're just trying to help your career because of the success of her duet with Daniel. I mean, let's face it, you and her have more fans than her and Daniel do, making your duet probably a bigger hit for your career."

I sigh, "I hope she doesn't think that because that's not why I'm doing this."

"I know, honey, but you have to look at things from her point of view."

"One, she knows I'm not that shallow, and two, that's not all we're going to talk about. If it takes all day to catch up, then I'll be with Lulu all day," I insist.

"Okay, but just be careful with her feelings," she replies standing up and kissing my forehead before walking into her room.

Her feelings? What feelings?

I hope you guys like the first chapter! I am trying to figure out how to write this so just bare with me if it's terrible. Also, if you have never watched Lulu and Daniel's interview with Reuben Jay, I would watch them. There are two of them, and the five minute is the one that has Mulu in it!
