The day after at the Jam Pony
NOON

Max was getting dressed up in the back place, where the lockers are. She'd
spill some ketchup on her shirt during lunch time. Original Cindy had a
shirt in her locker and was landing it to Max.

" I told you girl you were going to paint yourself in red with the
tons of that sh1t you put in your burger!" I wonder how she stays so
thin while eating like a bear...must be in the genes.

" But it was good!" Max finished getting the shirt on when
Sketchy came to tell her that 'someone' wanted to see her at Normal's
desk. He had a weird smile on his face.

"What's with him?" Concerning Sketchy? It could be anything.

" Beats me Boo! " The day I'll understand this guy, I'll be
straight!

" I wonder who wants to see me at lunch time..." Liar. You know
it's probably Logan.

" Maybe it's your secret lover...?!" said Original Cindy with
half-a-smile. Max made her a grimace and walked away.

Logan was waiting at the desk with Sophie in his arms. The light came on
her face.

" Hello sweety!" Max took Sophie from Logan.

" Hey to you too." He smiled at Max and there was a devil's
glance in his eyes.

" I was talking to your niece Logan..." Like I'd call you sweety
just like that. You wish!

" Damn!" It was Original Cindy's voice behind them. She walked
near them, stared at Logan, and then at Max, and then at Sophie. " I
knew it would come one day, but not that fast!" She looked Logan
right in the eyes and said with almost no voice: " You must have
super powers!" His face went red and he didn't know where to look,
what to do or say.

" Stop it Boo!" Said Max with a smile." You know very well
she's not 'ours'. This is Logan's NIECE Sophie." She succeded because
his eyes are still fixing his feet.

" Help me Boo! Original Cindy's heart's melting! Isn't she the
cuttest thing you've ever seen? Can I take her?"

" Sure." That girl sure knows how to make me feel uncomfortable.

" Sugar, said she at Sophie, you'll break hearts at 20!" She
took off with her and went to see Sketchy and Herbal.

Logan breated deeply and left his head up.
" Max, I got a link this mornig and found out where the illegal
laboratory is. The sooner we do this, the better it will be." What's
with the shirt today? 'GIRLS RULE!' Must be Original Cindy's.

" OK. Where is it?" I'll go take a peek...

" I'm not telling you. " Max's face was asking why." I know
you Max, you'll go without me and I refuse to let you do that." If
she thinks she can put me aside, she better think again!

" I went alone in the earlier past." You're not my bodyguard.

" Yeah! and look what it almost did!" He was pissed off that she
wanted to go alone." What if something happens to you?"

" And then, what will you do?" I can take care of myself...I'm
not used to people taking care of me. Maybe that's it.

" Something!" Good answer Logan...oh,you really got a point
here.

" Sorry Prince charming but Princess doesn't need to be rescued from
her tower."

" Forget it Max, I'm not telling you and I'm going. Liking it or
not."

" And what if you're the one that gets into trouble?" Got'ya!

" I wont'cuz I'll stay out of the danger zone, waiting in the
car." That sounds so chivalrous...

" Right." My ride ticket.

" What is that supposed to mean?" Like I'm always doing nothing!

" Relax, I was just agreeing with you." He's freaking out today.

" Right." Now I'm the one agreeing? " Can I have my girl
back?" Let's just get out of here!

" Sure." She went and came back with Sophie.

" 7 o'clock, my place?" Don't argue, I'm in no mood.

" And what about her?" Don't tell me you want to bring her?!

" Bling can baby-sit for an hour or so."

" Fine." She turned her back and walked away.

" Goodbye to you too." And he wheeled themselves out of Jam
Pony.
