A/N: I'm baaaaaaaaaack! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Happy day before Halloween, fanfictioners! I hope you're blessed with lots of candy! Softball is finally over and winter is already on the sweep in. I'll be moving soon, to my mom's boyfriend's house. It may take a little while to get another chapter our after this so give me a little flex, 'kay? AWOL should be updated soon! Alright, onward my pretties!

Max P.O.V.

"Ouch! IGGY! Stop! That fucking hurts!"

"Don't be such a pansy, Maxie! This is fun!"

"Well, I don't like it! Stop moving!"

"You're just made because you're on the bottom!"

"Nudge! Hurry the fuck up!"

"Right hand yellow!" Shouted her voice.

Iggy collapsed, taking me down with him.

"FUCK!" I exclaimed rubbing my now probably fractured wrist. "We are NEVER playing band-mate twister, ever again! EVER!"

"I'm not complaining! You broke my fall!" A full mouthed Iggy proclaimed from the couch, already watching 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' reruns while stuffing his face with double stuffed Oreos.

"Yo rachet ass…" I mumbled, pulling myself off the floor. "Nudgie? How long have we been for Angel to reply?"

Nudge swiveled her head, black curls suddenly becoming a deadly weapon as it hit my face.

"Ummm… about two hours!" She chirped.

"And how long exactly 'till her family comes back from vacation?" I asked plucking at my dirty fingernails.

"Approximately… two days…"

I snapped my head up, deadpan splayed across my face. "Say what now?"

"I know you heard me." She replied not bothering to look up from painting her toenails.

"Ugh! Nudge! You're no good at having fun!" I yelled from my faceplant position on the floor.

My eyes grew wide as I heard a collection noise. I soon realized we had gotten a mass text. Nudge's phone went on playing 'The Best Song Ever' By One Direction. (A/N: I just want to make it known that I do NOT like One Direction, but I don't usually bad talk them for you Directioner's out there. Continue.) In Iggy's general direction you could hear the 'Sword Art Online' intro song, 'Crossing Field' by LiSA. Then, of course, you could hear my text tone of Jenna Marbles exclaiming, "Bubble Ouchies!" on loop.

Iggy and I jumped up like ninja's, both of us trying to get to our phones before the other. I got to mine first, but Iggy got his unlocked before mine. Damn you, long ass password!

Iggy turned around, 'TMNT' forgotten, with a confused look written across his face. Aloud he read, "'Is this Max Martinez?'".

From her crouched nail painting position, Nudge shouted, "That's what mine says too!"

I stared down at my phone in horror.

Who is this? What do they want? What if it's a stalker?! NO! What if it's a Max skin wearing stalker?! I'm freaking the fuck out!

I shook my head trying to rid it of the worse, worse case scenarios. I saved the number to '?' and wrote back, "This be she… who is this?'

We all waited in silence, the 'TMNT' rerun's theme song playing in the background.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

Turtles count it off!"

"Bumble Ouchies!"

I looked down at my phone to see, "Oops… sorry! Ange here! (A/N: A:TLA reference anyone?! No? Okay…) I've been tryin to find your # all day! Dropped my phone in the ocean, had to get a new 1! Nudge tells me you want 2 C me?"

I exhaled, relieved it was someone I know. "It's Ange, guys! S'all good! Return to your activities!"

"Waaaay ahead of you!" Iggy called from the couch.

I returned my attention to the text.

"Hey! S'all good! Yea, we want you to re-audition for 'Lore & Lies' if you're up for it! Perfect spot opened up!"

"Are U kidding?! This is amazing! I'll be there as soon as we get of our vacae! See U in 2!"

I smiled down at the text, excited to interview the bubbly blonde.

*to beat of Starships*

Line breaks, for skipping TIIIME!

Just words, in bold TYYYPE!

I'm here, on my BEHIIIND!

And I just rand out of rhymes!

"Y'all, I'm heading to the library! See you later!" I called from my apartment landing.

"Call me when you get there so I know you made it safe!" Called out a grandma slash mommy voice.

I rolled my eyes, "Whatever Ig!"

"OOOOOOO! While you're out can you get some of my magazines? I forgot to subscribe for them to be mailed this year so I have to get them manually. Be sure you get '17', 'Teen Vogue', and 'Vogue'! OH! And can you also pick up some wrapping paper? Like, with kitties or puppies… or MAYBE baby penguins! *Insert sanity shattering squeal here*. That would be totally cute! But no walrus's! Last time Iggy got me walrus's and they were awful! Can you imag-"

"BYE!" I yelled with the door slamming behind me. I pulled my leather jacket up as the winter cold hit me. Angel's pretty lucky to be vacationing in Florida right now. Missouri winters can get pretty harsh when it comes down to it.

After I took the ten minute drive, I walked into the warm, lilac smelling room.

"How's it going Mrs. Cotton?"

The middle aged lady looked up from her book, eyes sparkling.

"Well, if it isn't Max! How are you, Sweetheart?"

"Just swell. Getting a new band-mate, but that's not important. What's new here? Any recommendations?"

"You're just in time! I've got just the thing for you!" The women walked to the cart behind her, her shoulder length grey-blonde hair swaying, her bluish grey eyes radiating a motherly warmth and intelligence. She finally held up a book, holding back her grin.

My mouth dropped open. "No… way…!"

She handed the sight for sore eyes book to me, while I almost broke down in happy tears.

"I though you might want it! Best part? It's all yours to keep!"

I stared at this beautiful women, wondering why she would do this. But, if I've learned from Suzanne Cotton, it's never to question her random gifts.

"Thank you… thank you so much! You don't know how grateful I am! Oh, I could just kiss you! I won't though, don't worry. But I am going to hug you! You're going to get the best Christmas resent ever this year!"

"Don't worry about it, Hun! Now, get on home before it gets too dark! See you real soon!" She said with a wink before she thrust me out the door. I looked down at my copy of 'The House of Hades' the next installment in the 'Heroes of Olympus' series. I walked to my car with a pep-in-my-step.

*Time Skip*

It was around 2:00 A.M. when my phone went off. Angel wanted to 'Facetime'. I tried to click ignore but I clicked the button in my sleepy haze.

"Hey Max! I've got someone here who wants to… OH! This is a bad time isn't it? We'll just go then!"

My eyes cleared in time to see a flash of ivory and black, but just a quick Angel hung up. Oh well. Guess I'll find out in the morning.

I wonder what Ange meant by 'We'?

A/N: There we go! What is everyone being for Halloween? Let me know in either a PM or Review! Both are acceptable and loved! As for me, I'm being a member of a S.W.A.T. team! Watch out baddies! I'm comin' for ya! I'll be back soon my great follow and favoriters. Trick or Treat! MWAHAHAHAHA! Write on!
