Consulting Max…
"Lou? Lou wake up." Lisa's' gentle voice woke Lou up.
"Huh?" Lou rubbed her eyes and looked at Lisa, Noting that she looked slightly different than she looked in wonderland. "Yes?" Lou asked.
"It's twelve o'clock are you all right?"
Lou groaned, apparently all that dancing had caught up with her. she became aware that music was playing outside "Yeah, I'm fine I just stayed up late with Lilia last night."
"Oh, ok, well lunch is ready."
"Yessss!" Lou stumbled into the dining room.
"Dear lord kid, partying hard?" Reno asked.
"Yeah actually." Lilia said, she had just walked in from the kitchen carrying two large platters of sandwiches.
"Aww, I wasn't invited?"
"Reno those fangirls would have gotten a hold of you and the world would never see the light of you again, that and their all underage."
"Fangirls?"
"Reno I'm pretty sure you have a fan base larger than any other, except for possibly cloud, hard to say." She put the platters on the table.
"That many huh?"
"Yep, the ladies positively love you, as well as Cloud, Vincent, Demyx, Axel, and pretty much everyone else. How's that for a buzz kill?"
"Great."
"But I think your fan base is bigger."
"How nice…" Luxord said, he was sitting right there drinking tea. "Now could we possibly talk about something that could have some use in life? Like how we get back?"
Lilia paused. Hell how do I get around this? Before she could think she blurted "Max."
"Bloody he…heck?" Luxord asked catching himself after seeing a few of the kids.
"Let me consult Max."
"Who's Max?" Reno asked.
"Max? Everybody knows Max, how could you not know Max?"
"Max?"
"Maximum Blaze Rider. My sister. She is the smartest person I know, hands down."
"Maximum Blaze rider? That sounds like a made up name to me…" Reno said.
"No she's real." Lilia went to her phone and dialed it putting it on loud speaker. Instead of a calling tone, lady gaga's song, just dance started playing.
"Nice, now will you ca…"
"Hello?" A woman's voice came over the phone cutting Reno short.
"Hey Max!" Lilia was overjoyed.
"LLLLLLIIIIIIIAAAAAAAA!" Max screamed. "Hang on I gotta take this call" max said addressing someone on her line.
"Take your time." They heard someone in the background say.
"So whats up Lilia?" Max asked.
"Let me just give it to you strait and please don't hang up max," Lilia said.
"No of course not what is it?"
"Max, the oven has been spewing out fantasy characters into my house for the past twenty four hours…"
There was a brief scilence. "Umm max, this is luxord, and Lilia is telling you the truth."
"Is the oven off?" Max asked.
"Geeze Max I'm not that blonde!" Lilia said.
"I know, but is it still pushing out people?"
Lilia looked at luxord then looked at the oven. "Yes but not at the moment."
"Crap, you know as odd as this may seem this has happened to me before, Lilia unplug the oven and is cid there?"
"Ok hang on, CID!" Lilia called.
"Yeah?" The Cid';s replied.
"Hey Cid's we need you down here!" Both the cids came a moment later.
"Yes?"
"Ok you're going to have to, first unplug the oven." Max said.
Cid Highwind obediently walked over to the oven and pulled it away from the wall so the other cid could unplug it. "Got it what next?"
"Open up it up and look around in the heating elements and see if you find anything suspicious."
"Open it up?" Highwind started.
"As in, take it apart and look through the circuits?"
"Yeah."
"Ok," Cid took off the back panel and began tinkering around, "Max any idea what I'm looking for in particu…oh, Found it!"
"What?" Lilia asked.
As an answer cid held up a long, skinny blue crystal.
"So cid what'd you find?" Max asked.
"It's some kind of a glowing blue crystal, it was wrapped in the copper wiring of the heating element."
"Ahhhh, so that's where it went."
Lilia paused for a moment. "Where what went?"
"The crystal it was part of an experiment I was doing, well, two actually, first safer and more efficient energy storage, and then teleportation… I guess they worked after all. Just wrap the crystal in like a towel and bring it to me. You know what, I have a better idea, why don't we just meet and you guys can stay at my place?"
"We kinda don't have any transportation…" Lilia tried to explain.
"I deal with that, just make sure everyone's ready to go within the hour."
"Ok…"
"All right sis, I'll meet you guys at my place whenever you get there! See yaw!"
"Ok bye Max." Lilia hung up the phone and looked at luxord. "What'd I tell you? Smartest person I know."
"Fine, but that still doesn't explain how we leave…"
"If she could find and explain how to fix part of the problem over the phone she'll probably be able to solve the problem just as quickly. And believe me it's scary how fast she solves problems like this."
"How often does this sort of thing happen?" cid asked.
"With her, crazy stuff happens hourly, you heard what she said about the crystal right?"
"Yeah."
"She's smart." Just then the phone rang again lilia picked it up. "Hello?"
"Hey lilia, how many people are there?"
Lilia looked around. "Does any body know how many people are here?"
"Well," Moogle kupo started. " There's, me, Kaze, Lisa, the whole Hiakawa family, Lou, Knave, Cid, Vincent, Barrett, cid, yuffie, Zack, aerith, zack, reno, Rude, Rufus, Sephiroth, kadaj, loz, yazoo, sora, the organization 13, chaos, the four lords of gaudium, chobi, lilia, cait sith, obi-wan Kenobi, qui- gon jinn, darth maul, ansem, miles, makenshi, madoushi, crux, denzel, marlene, tifa, cloud, clear, some kid named soggy, kairi, lucricia, hojo, aura, and red 13."
There was a pause. "Nanaki? I love that guy! But geeze, been mingling much? Ok so about 64 people, that it?"
"Nope, elana, and tseng, are here." Reno said.
"Ok 66 then really dosen't make a difference, just make sure that the speaking creatures don't talk till they get home, and keep red with Vincent."
"Why?" Lilia asked.
"Well duh so they can stay with you and not have to be put in cages, and if anyone asks about your clothes just say you're cosplaying for a publicity stunt."
Lilia hung up the phone, dreading what every her sister was planning next…
