Behind these Midnight Eyes

Chapter 26: Surprise surprise

Max POV

Right then it occured to me that I had no idea where I was. As soon as I opened the door my mind went blank. Apperently, I was on a stage. There was traditional peacefull Hawaiian music and the bright beaming lights right on me. Squinting my eyes I tried to focus on what was below me and I scurried to my right.

Fang? If that's Fang.. Then he's- he's spying on me? He must have felt my gaze since he tried to blend in with the crowd, for once, and pushed his way out. Ha! He thinks I'm not going to catch him. He is soo wrong. I made my way through the blurs that moved aside for me. Move it or loose it, I thought.

"Wooah!" A high pitched yell sprialed below. A voice that was too high pitch. It seemed so familar... like Lisa? The music stopped and gasping were all I could hear. Afriad to look at what's there, I covered my face with my hands leaving space for my eyes. Oh my goodness.

There she was face planted on the floor with her frilly pink dress. What is she doing here? In a pagent? Don't tell me she's a frilly princess. People immediatly swoop down to help her and as she regained her balance she sent me a quick evil glare but even quicker it changed to a more warm and nice smile.

"Aren't you Nick's sister? Umm. Max, right?" She asked polietly. With as much composure as I could gather I nodded, with out barfing.

"Is he here? Right now?" She smiled brightly.

"Max!" Sam's voice came from a corner and soon after he was right next to me.

"Hi," I greeted shyly.

This can not get any worse.

"Nick!! There you are! Wait! Why are you running? Come back! It's me, Lisa remember? Ni-ick!" Lisa's sqeaky voice made me want to vomit.

"Oh. Don't worry about him. He doesn't want his favorite show!" I annonouced loud enough for him to hear. His head turned slightly and he bit his lip. He sent me a death glare that said, You wouldn't.

"He's just crazy about it. When we were at home he-" I continued.

"Lisa! I didn't see you. How have you been?" Fang said in a I'm-forced-to-do-this tone. Her face lighted up then she leaned in closer to embrace him. He patted her back for what seemed like days and I felt a flush on my face.

"Oh. So you're both here. Nice to meet you again, Nick." Sam took out his hand to shake.

"Germs,"

"Oh Nick! I can't believe you're here! Is you're sister here for the pagent?" The redhaired wonder asked.

"Max. Umm. No. Unless she's done it sercetly, I rolled my eyes.

"Nick. I was thinking about you everyday! Why didn't you call?" Whaat? She gave him her number.

"I um, lost the number," or maybe I found it and burned it, I forget.

"Max. I was thinking about this huge festival tommorrow. It's suppossed to be huge, like a fair. And I wanted to know if you want to come with me? Like a date?" His hopeful eyes adored me but I didn't feel like going.

"Oh Yeah! Nick I was going to go too! We should totally double-date. You and me and Sam and your sister," He shot me a glare.

"Yeah. Max. There's going to be kareoke, sparing, games, lots of food from everywhere and a surprise guest," Fang got next to me.
"Mind if I steal Max for a minute," Why didn't I think of that? I got pulled away by Fang.

"let's go. There's a quicker exit through the back," he whipspered.

"Coward." I teased.

"And what? You're brave enough to stay?"

"I bet I'm alot braver than you,"

"Oh. Yeah? I like to see you prove it,"

"Gladly. The problem is I don't think you're up to it ,"

"I'm up for whatever,"

I drifted apart from Fang and went back to Sam and Lisa.

"Both of us will be there,"

"Great! Nick. Come here," Fang stiffed up when he heard Lisa calling him. Did he think I was going down without him? He dragged his feet to us.

"So do you want us to carpool or-"

"Fang and I will pick you guys the hotel. You're both staying in the same one, right?" I asked. Fang opened his mouth to retort but shut his mouth.

"The Radision on Shenala Drive, right?" Sam directed to Lisa.

"Yup!"

"Ok then. What time is does it start?" I asked.

"It's at 6:30."

"Great. We will be there tommorrow at your hotel at 6:15 then. Is that okay?"

"Yeah,"

"Sure"

"Fine. Sorry we can't stay for much longer. We have to go now. Bye!" I grabbed Fang's t-shrit and scatted out.

Show of hands, who was smiling when Lisa fell of the stage. Uh-huh.

The surprise guest is such a surprise that even I don't know who it is, suggestions anyone? It doesn't have to be anyone famous. Give me some wako person, who ever you can think of. Even yourself, if you want.

Thanks!
