In Black and White

(6PM)The Birthday Surprise


Except for the fact it was my birthday
my stupid birthday-Aly and AJ

'Another Year Gone By' Thought Maxie Jones as she stepped off the launch and on to Spoon Island.

It was the eldest Jones sister's 21st birthday a day she had been thinking about for months. She planed on hitting the clubs with her boyfriend Cooper, to party it up into the wee hours of the morning, able to drink legally. However plans were made to be broken.

It was stupid of her to have made that bet with Logan Hayes, what killed her the most is that the bet didn't kill Logan's relationship with Lulu Spencer but instead made it ten times stronger. She made a face as she say that pair from across the room. Then another couple caught her eye.

Georgie, Maxie's younger sister was deeply in love with Computer Hacker Damian Spinelli, in fact he was the first person she had genuinely fallen for since the supposed love of her life Dillon Quartermaine. Georgie was so close to asking Spinelli out but was too late. Because of that she was at the ball on the arm of her sister's ex.

"Why did you bring me here," Cooper whispered.

Georgie eyed Spinelli from across the room before smiling at Cooper.

"You want to make Spinelli jealous," Cooper said, "don't you?"

"Is it that obvious," Georgie asked.

Cooper watched the hacker laughing at something his date Nadine Crowell was saying then turned back to the brunette and nodded.

"Yea it is," Cooper said.

"I was also thinking that maybe," Georgie said eyeing her sister, "you'd ask Maxie to dance."

He rolled his eyes.

"Come on Coop," Georgie said, "she still likes you and besides it's her birthday."

In the short time that Cooper had known Maxie they talked some, made love even more, yet he didn't know that October 31st was her birthday.

Maxie watched her sister talking to Cooper and she rolled her eyes.

'How could she do this,' Maxie thought, 'She knows I still like Coop. and it's my birthday...I didn't know she had a bitchy bone in her body.'

She suddenly observed a mysterious man entering the scene. He walked up beside her and smiled at her from beneath his mask.

'Man he has a gorgeous smile,' she thought shaking off the thought. She still loved Coop didn't she; she wanted him back...right.

Johnny Zacchara was a man on a mission. He needed to protect Lulu Spencer from his awal father. He knew she'd be at the ball, so he needed to get in, whatever it took. He spotted a man on the docks not knowing that this man was none other then special prosecutor Scott Baldwin. He knocked out Scott so he could steal his invitation and sneak into the ball. It was then he spotted her dressed in black looking miserable.

'Maybe if I escort this girl then I can go unnoticed,' he thought walking over to her.

He smiled at her and she seemed to notice.

"Are you here with anyone," he asked.

"No..Why," Maxie asked.

"Well then tonight's your lucky night," he said, "I would be honored to have you as my date."

She loved his confidence and although he was wearing a mask she could tell he was a hottie and would defiantly make Cooper jealous.

"I'll say yes," Maxie said, "but you have to do me one thing first."

"Name it," Johnny said.

"Tell me your name," Maxie simply said.

"Johnny," he replied, "and yours."

"Maxie," she said.

'Well Maxie," he said taking her hand, "shall we head to the ballroom."

Maxie nodded at this beautiful stranger who gave her the best birthday gift of all, hope.

'Happy Birthday to Me,' she thought as she left with Johnny to begin a night she would never forget.
