AN: This took me forever to type. And I'm not sure I even like it to be honest. It's meh but whatever. :1 This story is somewhat AU so if you notice weird stuff then that's why (lol). I guess it's a little early for Halloween fics but I wanted to get this up before the finale (OMFG Only one more day! I can't believe we've been waiting about three months since episode four. The wait felt like forever… but it also seemed to go by really fast. 0.0) But it's October anyway so who cares. Anyway, tell me what you think and please send prompts if you can. I wanna know your guy's ideas. :) I may not reply to reviews much, BUT I PROMISE I DO READ ALL OF THE REVIEWS I GET. Even though it's not that many (lol). XD
"Baaaaabbbbeee, do we have to? I don't wanna go to some lame ass party," Chloe complained as she flopped on Max's bed.
"C'mon sweetie, It'll be fun. Besides, I already promised Dana we would go," Max explained.
"Goddamnit, you're killing me woman!"
Max made her lip quiver as she gave Chloe her undeniably cute puppy dog eyes. "Please Chlo, for me?"
"Trying to win me over with those adorable huh?" Chloe smirked.
"Maybe," Max let out a tiny giggle.
"Okay fine, you win sista. But if weren't so fucking cute, you'd be shit outta luck," stated the punk with a wink.
"Yeah, yeah whatever. You would've caved eventually because you can't say no to me," Max replied with a huge grin.
"Yeah, cuz I guess you have me wrapped around your little finger. So anyway, what are we gonna wear for the party?" Chloe asked.
"Ooh! I picked some stuff up from the Dollar Store and the Goodwill yesterday." Max grabbed the box that was placed next to her bed, gathering the contents inside.
"I got us some pirate gear and shit. It'll be like when we were kids," Max let out a smile."
"Fuck Max this is great. This really brings me back to our childhood. We're toats gonna have the raddest costumes at the party!" Max could almost see the sparkles in the older woman's eyes as she beamed.
"Wowser, total 180 Che. Now you're all excited about the party?" Max questioned.
"Hell yeah! I've always wanted to play pirates again with you some day. And if I have to go to some fucked up party, then so be it."
"Can I ask why you were so pissed about going?" The brunette asked.
"I dunno baby," Chloe nervously began to rub the back of her head. "I know there's gonna be cool people going. Like Dana obviously, she's alright. And Trevor and Justin are cool of course, so is Kate, As for Warren… well he's alright but it's so hella awkward for me knowing how fucking in love with you he was, and the fact that you kinda broke his heart to be honest cuz of me. I mean I know he's with that Brooke chick and all which makes things a little better, but still...And then there's Nathan and Victoria… Victoria was a total bitch to you, and Nathan as you know is a complete asshole…"
"I know things are still a bit awkward with Warren but it'll just continue to get better. At least he accepts our relationship and that's all that matters. As for Nathan and Victoria, Victoria has been less of a bitch to me lately, now that I've been hanging out with Dana a little more. And Nathan, hasn't really been talking to me or anything, which is a good thing. I know it's really weird for people like us to be going to a Vortex Club party, but Dana was practically begging me to come to the party, so I just couldn't say no," Max continued to explain.
"Maxaroni, always the people pleaser." Chloe grinned as she wrapped her arm around her girlfriend.
"Yeah, it's a bit of a problem," Max sighed.
"Don't worry sweetie, I'm like that too. With just you of course." The punk delivered a tender kiss on Max's cheek, planting kisses down her neck and finding her ticklish spot. The smaller girl let out an eruption of giggles, gently nudging her girlfriend.
"Chloe stop that tickles!" Chloe obeyed and stopped her little "attack." She made a fake sad face as she crawled behind Max, wrapping her arms around the photographer, and placing her hands on Max's stomach.
"You're mean. You won't even let the love of your life give you kisses," The rebel joked. Max turned her head and planted a passionate kiss.
"There, is that better?" Max chuckled.
"You are forgiven." Chloe let out a content sigh as she pulled the younger the younger girl closer, trying to make the contact as close as possible. Max responded by leaning against Chloe, placing her hands on hers.
Two weeks later
"So how do I look Captain Chloe?" Max asked as she adjusted her bandanna.
"Hella adorable first mate Max, I'm really digging the bandana and belt stash. And the eyepatch brings me back," Chloe grinned.
"And I see you still have the same pirate hat from when we were kids," the brunette commented. "Also, your tattoo looks very sexy with the pirate getup, suites it very well."
Chloe slowly swayed herself towards Max, resting her hands on the shorter girl's hips.
"Soooo does it turn you on?" Chloe asked as she waggled her eyebrows.
Max stood on her toes to give taller girl a quick peck on the lips, "Totally, she replied with a giggle.
As Chloe leaned in for another kiss, their moment was soon interrupted when Max's phone began to ring.
"Well uh… Guess I better see who that is," said Max. She then headed towards Chloe's desk where she placed her cell phone. Max swiped her touch screen and entered her correct password for access. Then opened the text that she received. It was from Dana.
DANA- Hey girl where r u? The party has already started! You and ur bitch Chloe are still coming right?
Max rolled her eyes at Dana's text, yet couldn't remove the smile from her face. She remembered when Dana referred to Warren as her "bitch." But ever since she found out about Max and Chloe getting together, that title now belongs to the punk/Even though Max feels it should be the other way around, she could never tell Dana that… Then she might have to explain her and Chloe's romantic/sex life. And Dana already knows too much, along with almost everyone else in Arcadia Bay. Fucking rumors.
MAX- Yeah we were just about to leave. Be there soon.
"Who was that?" Chloe asked.
"It was Dana. She wanted to know where we're at," Max informed.
"Oh, then we better get going then. You ready?"
"Yep. You?"
"Yeah, just gotta go grab the car keys and we're outta here."
On the way to Blackwell. Chloe played some of her favorite punk rock songs. Max enjoyed Chloe's music, but wanted to listen to her own too. She asked Chloe if she could enter one of her CD's, the punk nodded in response. Chloe didn't want to admit it, but she kind of liked some of Max's songs.
Chloe rested her left elbow on the window of truck, as she stole a glance at Max. Max noticed right away and displayed a warm smile as she reached out her hand towards Chloe, an invitation to hold hands. The punk didn't hesitate as she put her left hand back on the wheel, using her right hand to hold onto Max's. The two held hands the rest of the way there, with the occasional thumb rubs and gentle grasps.
Soon after, the two girls made it to the school parking lot. A lot of the parking spots were taken, but they somehow managed to find a space that the truck could (barely) fit.
"Damn, it's so packed," said Max.
"Yeah no shit, must me one hell of a party," Chloe replied as she turned off the ignition, placing her keys in her pocket. Max thought it was really cute that Chloe had that robot panda keychain. She wondered how long she had it, maybe she should ask Chloe sometime. The pirate duo then got out of the truck, making their way towards Blackwell's indoor pool. They could already hear music escaping from the building, along with some people outside laughing and joking around, some of which already looked to be a bit buzzed and maybe even a little high. There were also tons of Halloween decorations all over the place, probably a lot of Dana's doing.
As Chloe and Max entered the party, they spotted Dana right away, dancing with Trevor. Dana was dressed as an 80's girl, her costume screaming neon. It was actually kind of cool, she did stand out that's for sure. As for Trevor, he was dressed as a hobo. Pretty humorous and seems like something he might be for Halloween. -The photography could hear Dana laughing and teasing at Trevor for the way he danced. Trevor was aware that he wasn't exactly the best dancer, and just laughed along with her. Max couldn't help but smile at the two of them, they were just so good together. They didn't give a shit about what anyone else thought, as if they were in their own little world. Dana is sure to be much happier with Trevor than she ever was with Logan.
"Max! Chloe! You two dorks get over here!" Dana called. Max waved at Dana as she and Chloe headed her way.
"Hey Dana, where's Juliet?" Max asked.
"Oh, she and Zachary were actually with us a few minutes ago. But they claimed that they wanted some "alone" time," Dana playfully rolled her eyes. "Probably making out right now. Anyway, glad you two could make it. I really love the pirate costumes, very cute."
"I dunno," said Trevor. "Looks more badass to me. Especially Chloe with her tattoo."
"Fuck yeah!" Chloe put out her fist, soon fist bumping Trevor.
"In fact," Chloe continued, "Max said my tattoo looked hella sexy with the costume," she smirked.
Max placed her head on her forehead, feeling her face grow hot. Conversations like that with Chloe were meant to be kept between the two of them. Well, at least that's how Max felt anyway. Dana and Trevor chuckled at Chloe's comment. Max could have sworn she heard Dana whisper, "They're so sweet." Max let out a small glare towards Dana, but she didn't seem to notice.
"Chloe please-"
"Oh babe, I'm just messing with you," The older girl said as she slung her arm around Max's shoulders. "Besides, everyone knows we're hella gay anyway."
"Oh yeah, Dana told me you two were together. It's about time."
Chloe laughed, "Yeah it sure is."
"Soooooo you guy's wanna dance with us? The more the merrier right?" Dana asked. Chloe nodded enthusiastically, following Dana and Trevor as she dragged Max along. She took both of Max's hands in her's, encouraging the brunette to dance.
"C'mon hippie, dance with me!" Chloe beamed. Despite still being a little embarrassed, Max couldn't help but be amused by Chloe's behavior. She really was a party girl.
"Jesus Chloe," Max giggled, "You're crazy!"
"I'm just getting started!"
The two continued to dance along with Trevor and Dana for awhile. stifling laughs and giggles as they moved their bodies along with the rhythm of the music. Occasionally singing the lyrics of the song. Later the two pirates decided to leave Trevor and Dana alone, making their way to a different section of the dance floor. Their movements becoming a bit more… heated. The taller girl gave the shorter girl's neck a few nips here and there, as her hands crawled to the middle of Max's back, under her shirt.
"He-here?" Max questioned. She tried to keep her composure, but the shivers that she kept receiving from Chloe's touch wasn't exactly helping.
"Oh, uh. Is that okay? I just figured since I saw a bunch of other people doing it, and no one was really looking, and we getting kinda close anyway… But I'll stop, I'm sorry."
"No, no it's okay… We can keep going, let's just slow down a little."
"Sure thing Maxi," Chloe smiled. As Max wrapped her arms around the punk's neck, Chloe soon noticed Warren stepping in through the doorway, along with Brooke and Kate.
"Oh, well here's comes your buddy Warren," said Chloe.
"It's alright Chloe," Max said.
"Yeah um, I'll be right back. I'm gonna go get something to drink, you want anything?"
"Chloe it'll be-"
"I promise I'll be right back. I just gotta… prepare myself." Before Max could say much more, Chloe headed towards the drink bar, leaving Max alone on the dance floor. Sudden Warren appeared out of no where, saying her name. Or maybe not Warren, but perhaps Doc from Back to The Future along with a nerd and a Marshmallow.
"Hey Super Max,"
"Oh, hey Warren. I really like your guy's costumes. I had a feeling you'd go sci-fi, Brooke's nerd costume is pretty funny, and Kate Marsh dressed as a Marshmallow is just… golden," Max chuckled.
Kate laughed along with Warren and Brooke. "Yeah, it was Alyssa's idea," the blonde explained. "I couldn't think of what I wanted to be, so she helped me out. And that's what she came up with."
"What made you want to dress up like a pirate?" Brooke asked as she crossed her arms, "It does look pretty impressive for something that doesn't have a lot of material though," she continued.
"Well, when me and Chloe were kids we'd dress up as pirates all the time. So I just figured why not?"
"Oh yeah… where is Chloe?" Warren asked. "She didn't run off because of me did she…?"
"Oh no, no! She just went to get herself a drink, she should be back soon." It was then that Chloe actually came back to Max's side, as if she knew Max was mentally calling her. She appeared with a beer bottle in hand. Very little was draken yet, but it seemed to relax her a little bit.
"Hey Kate, Hey Brooke," Chloe placed her fist in front of her mouth as she began to clear her throat, "Hello Warren."
"Hi Chloe," Warren said with a sincere smile.
The five teens talked for awhile, mostly about school and random things. It was still slightly awkward with Warren around. It actually okay and better than expected. Well, to Max anyway. Warren and Brooke eventually left to talk to other people, leaving Kate with Chloe and Max.
"I see things are still a little weird between the three of you," Kate stated.
"Yeah, pretty much," Max sighed. "But it didn't turn out so bad."
"So how are things with you Kate?" Chloe asked. "I hope Victoria hasn't been being much of an ass to you anymore," The punk continued, an obvious hint of irritation in her voice.
"Not so much now, she's actually been somewhat nice to me. I'm not sure why though. It was really hard but at least I had a few friends to back me up," Kate said with a smile.
"Of course Kate, we always have your back," said Max. "I actually didn't think you'd want to come because of her actually.
"I didn't at first, but Warren and Brooke talked me into it."
"Well then,I think there's a good chance she won't bug you. When she saw me getting a drink she didn't say or do anything. It surprised me," said Chloe.
"It's possible that she's going through a lot of shit so she just doesn't have the energy," said Kate. "Or maybe she feels bad… But anyway," Kate said as she shook her head. It was obvious she wanted to evade the subject. "Enough about Victoria, you guys want to grab a meal at the Two Whales with me on Sunday? I've been meaning to ask you two for awhile now. It seems that the three of us don't hang out as much as we should to be honest."
"Sure, why not?" The duo responded simultaneously.
Kate stuck around with Chloe and Max for awhile until she decided to head back to Warren and Brooke, along with other friends, leaving Chloe and Max alone once again as they headed for the dance floor.
"Daaammmmnnnn, that was some party," the punk slurred. She threw her jacket and pirate hat across the room, also kicking off her boots.
"Hey, hey, don't just throw everything across my room," Max half joked.
"Babe not now. I don't feel well and I'm not -hiccup- in the mood."
"Well it's not my fault you decided to get drunk," the photographer sighed.
Chloe flopped on Max's couch and leaned her head back, closing her eyes. "Well, looks like I'll be getting high tomorrow for sure. Let's hope Step-Pepper doesn't find out though -hiccup-."
"I suppose this means you'll be getting high in my room then?"
"...Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry sweetie… But you know I'm careful right. And you've never gotten caught." Chloe reached over to pull Max onto her lap. Her moves were a bit slow and sloppy, Max almost fell over. Yup, that's drunk Chloe for you. "Besides, I'll make... make it up to you," Chloe whispered in Max's ear. She could smell the alcohol from her breath.
"I'm listening."
"Well, you've been talking about… how we haven't been on a date in awhile, so -hiccup- why don't we go on one. We could go to the… beach next weekend and have a picnic. You could take pictures too…"
Max let out a deep sigh. "Price, you really are terrible you know that?"
