Chapter 11 -- Cookie Crave
It's not my fault I get a little sugar high...
"Thanks for helping me do this, Angel."
"Mmm, no problem, Max... but you know that Fang is gonna get really mad after this, right?"
"Yeah, well, that's his problem, not mine."
"Cookies..."
"Ah, Ange, don't shake your head like that. You know I can't control my innocent cookie cravings."
"Innocent? Max, Fang constipated those cookies from you for a reason!"
"... Oh Angel. You mean confiscated, not constipated. And besides, it's not my fault I get a little sugar high."
"A little sugar high? Last time, you almost burned the house down."
"Just because I accidentally set off one of Iggy's bombs, which, if I may include, was sitting where anyone could've stepped on it--"
"Max."
"Yes?"
"The cookies aren't in the kitchen, they're in the living room."
"Idiot. That way, he can watch over the cookie jar and make I don't get them, while he gets some couch time pigging out on my chocolate-chip cookies. Hmph. Such a meanie."
"... Okay Max, I made him not notice anything besides the TV. You can go steal the cookies..."
"... Stop laughing at me!"
"Hurry up."
"Right."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"... I got it! Want one?"
"Okay! ... Mmm, now I can give Celeste a bath. Total's probably wondering where I am."
"Mmhmm..."
"Don't stuff yourself full of cookies and save some appetite for dinner. Iggy's making spaghetti."
"... You sound like me, trying to scold me like that."
"Do I? Anyways, I'm off."
"Mmhmm."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Max!"
"... Uh-oh. Yes, Fang?"
"Get in here! And Angel!"
"... Why?"
"One word: Cookies."
"Oh, Angel, did you want me to get in trouble..."
A/N: For a long time, I thought my Dialogue Muse abandoned me. Then, one day, I was whining over my really itchy and swelling mosquito bites (does anyone know how to make the swelling go down?), and the Muse gave me the idea of cookies. You may say that's strange, but, hey, I finally cranked out a chapter.
Oh yeah, you were all wondering who the characters were in Ch.10. Well, it could be anyone you want, I guess. Who would most likely win a staring contest anyway?
