MaxPOV

On the way to the ice cream shop bang kept on asking to play Chubby, Chubby Ice Cream Cone. In addition, every time he started to say 'can we play' I immediately say NO! I had to keep my eyes on the road. Even though I wasn't driving I knew that if I looked back one of them or all of them would pull out the bambi eyes. If that happened, I knew I would be dead. I would cave and either come up with some crazy idea of how to play Chubby, Chubby Ice Cream Cone, or spill the truth that it was a crazy dream I had. They probably would believe that I fell asleep in the car. Then they would ask Shadow and he would say something like, imaginary throat clearing, deep masculine head voice 'she was dreaming about a Mexican ice cream cone and singing Chubby, Chubby Ice Cream Cone'. After that fiasco, everyone would laugh at me.

While I was going on that little tangent in my crazy head, we arrived at the ice cream shop. The wonderful one people call Friendly's. I exited the car and everyone followed my example. When I opened, the door I cool burst of wind from the AC hit my face. We stepped up to the podium thing.
"How many?" came a nasally voice from a short curvy red headed girl behind the podium, without looking up. She looked strangely familiar, but I couldn't place her…Oh my god, was that…Lissa? No. I was done with my old life. I pretended not to recognize her.

"Five," was my short response, and then the girl looked up, her eyes roaming up and down Shadows body. I send my 'death glare' her way. Shadow reaches over and grabs my hand. I send her a smug look. She rolls her eyes and walks us to a booth, swaying her hips more then what is natural. She put the menus on the table and handed one to Shadow, her hand brushing his. She coyly smiled at him.

"Your waiter will be with you shortly." On her way back to the front, she slipped something into his hand.

We slid into the booth. Shadow and I on one side, Bang, Poison and Sasha on the other. He looked into his hand while I looked over his shoulder. In his hand was a slip of paper with a number on it, presumably her phone number. That little bitch, trying to steal my man. How dare she? He is mine, all mine. Oh, my god they have hunka chunka peanut butter fudge, which would taste so good with caramel and a pickle. Oh, look at Shadow just staring off, looking out the window. That's so sad I feel like I'm going to cry.

"Max, are you okay?" Poison asked. She had a look of care and love in her eyes. The look just made me want to cry more. I felt my eyes start to get moist; I bit my tongue to hold in the tears that were threatening to burst. "I'm fine," I say then look down at my hands sniffling, "I just need to use the restroom." Shadow gets up exits the booth then I stand up and briskly walk to the bathroom.

When I get in the bathroom the tears start to spill, I have no idea what brought them on. I am so confused. "Knock, knock" someone is at the door, "occupied," Is all I say trying to get the person away.

"Max it's me, open up," Shadow says from the other side of the door.

"It'll look weird if you come into the lady's bathroom," I say, trying to convince him to go away and leave me alone. I don't want to talk to anyone right now. I want to wallow in self-pity. I hate PMSing it sucks. That's all I can say on the subject. I also hate men because they can't PMS, they don't have to have a period every month, where all you felt like doing is sitting on the couch watching sappy chick flicks and eating all the chocolate ice cream in the house. Then going upstairs and complaining that you're fat because you just ate a whole tub of chocolate ice cream. I hate men; all they have to go through is 'menopause' the man form of menopause. I have to have my period every freaking month and then I have to go through labor if I want to have kids, and then I get to go through menopause if I live to that age. I hate men. Why am I ranting, in my head about PMS and women's hate of men?

"Look, Max I'm coming in weather you like it or not, " Shadow said from the other side of the door, his voice sounded slightly annoyed. I quickly turned on the cold water and dabbed it on under and on my eyes to get rid of the redness and slight swelling. I saw Shadow standing there while I was dabbing my eyes.

"How did you get in?" I questioned. I didn't hear nor see the door open. How did he get in the bathroom? I looked back in the mirror not caring anymore; my eyes were still slightly swollen and red. I got another paper towel and dabbed my ugly barfed chocolate eyes with it. Shadow came up behind me and grabbed the towel. He spun me around so that I faced him. He gently dabbed my eyes and when they looked closer to normal, he kissed each of them. Then he slowly kissed each cheek, then the tip of my nose, after that he lightly kissed my lips. I gladly returned the kiss forgetting why I was crying in the first place. His tongue swiped across my bottom lip asking for entrance. I slowly opened my mouth a little bit, just enough for his tongue to slip in. Shadows tongue explored my mouth running across my teeth then fighting with my tongue for dominance. Shadow lifted me up so my butt was is on the edge of the sink. I wrap my legs around his back, Shadow's hands resting on my thighs. I move one hand into his hair and the other up and down his chest. Shadow breaks away from my lips and starts placing kisses on my neck. I tilted my head back so he could have better access; he started lightly sucking on my pulse. I brought his head back up to my lips, his mouth smashing against mine with fiery passion.

"Knock, knock" I ignored it at first but whoever it was knocked again. I saw the handle start to jingle. I pulled Shadow off my neck. "Shadow, stop. Someone's at the door," I whispered. I then shouted, "Occupied!" Shadow went back to kissing my neck. I heard some shuffling outside the door, as if the person knocking was uncomfortable.

"Max, it's me… Bang. The server is coming back soon to take orders. Max, are you okay?" Bang quietly asked me through the door. "Sasha's worrying about you; she wants you to come out." I heard Bang, quietly say through the door. I looked at Shadow, a look of understanding passed between us.

"I'll be out in a second," I quickly replied, while making sure Shadow didn't make any noise.

"Max, I know Shadow's in there with you. You don't have to try to hide it," he took a small pause to let it all sink in, " Shadow, Poison said that you should know that the waitress is a female and you should make it look like you and max were having a 'hot, steamy, passion, lust filled make-out session.' Her words not mine. She even wrote them down for me. Well, I'm going to go back to the table," he said the last part awkwardly. I heard his feet shuffling away.

"Let's go Shadow," I say to him, while unwrapping my legs from around him. His large hands still held my thighs up, and next to his hips. Shadows hands run up my legs and find their way to rest on my waist. He lifts me up and sets my feet on the ground. I remove my arms from around his neck and cup his beautiful face. I bring his face down to mine and give him a peck on the lips. I detach my hands from his face and turn to leave, Shadow grabs my hand and we exit the bathroom together.

I open the door and see and older woman standing there tapping her foot waiting to use the restroom. I start to walk by but she grabs my arm and says, "Look, girl I know you're just trying to help your friend who is going through a tough time with the sex change and all but now she is a he, he can't go into the little ladies room with you to freshen up. It has to learn how to use the new antonym by itself. Excuse me." She goes to enter the bathroom, but I step in her way.
"Look lady, this GUY here is my boyfriend. It is not nice to talk about somebody as if said person isn't there. It is also not nice and/or suitable to question somebody's gender like that; my Boyfriend has been a MAN his entire life. So don't go talking about people like that." I storm off after I said my little rant not wanting to see the look on the old lady's face. Who has the right to talk about anybody like that? If you thought that somebody does you are wrong, nobody has the right to talk to anybody like that. We walk back to the table and sit down; all the while, I'm still silently fuming in my head. Why the heck am I getting so easily upset about this?

I quickly look over the menu and decide on chocolate ice cream with caramel. The server comes over and asks with a southern accent, "What would y'all like to eat today?"

Poison hesitated before choosing what she wanted on the menu, "A small coffee ice cream in a dish with fudge on top."

Sasha: "I'll have and small strawberry in a cone, please."

Bang: "**snicker snicker** I'll have a Mexican ice cream cone, please." He asks with all seriousness.

"I'm sorry but we don't have Mexican ice cream cones," the server kindly replies.

Bang then sighed in a cute way and ordered what he usually has, "oh, then I'll have a fribble, vanilla, small."

"We," Shadow points to him and me, "will be sharing a medium vanilla with caramel sauce on top, in a dish."

The server leaves and I turn to Shadow, "How did you know that what I wanted?" I quietly ask him.

He leans in close to my ear and whispers, "You kept muttering about it under your breath." When I look at his face, I see a huge smirk on it. I turn a little more and glare at him. I hear a buzzing in the background and see the kid's lips moving, and then I realize that I was blocking them out while I was glaring at Shadow.

When I turn back to the table are food is set up are ready to be devoured. I grab a spoon and start to eat. All is quiet and well while we are eating. When everyone finishes, I ask the server for the check. When she returns she passes the check to Shadow. When he opens it, he keeps a straight face but I knew the server put her number on the bill. I let him pay, because I don't really care about it right now. When Shadow is done paying, we all get up to leave. On the way past the podium, the two girls are talking, and the short curvy one walks over and trips me. I put my arms up to shield my face, and prepare my body to land on the floor but it never came. I look up and see the Shadow caught me around the waist, from our position I look up at the girls and quirk an eyebrow up while giving them a smug look. I turn around and stand up, when I do, I say thank you to Shadow, tug a little on his lip ring and peck him on the lips, now I'm not a big fan of PDA but to see the look on the bitches faces. It was hilarious. When that little 'thing' was over, we all strolled out of Friendly's and to the car.

A/N I really hope this didn't offend anybody in any that wasn't really in my mind when I wrote/typed it so… I really hope you all liked it, also I have a new poll on my profile thingy, I'm contemplating writing a max ride twilight crossover and I cant decide who max should be with so I'm giving all my loving fans the choice! Please help me choose.

Love, me
