Part 5
"Max!" Chimaera said with happiness.
"Chimaera! What are you doing here?" Max asked her.
"Just checking up on my sister. Is that a good enough reason for you?"
"As your sister, I want to make sure you are safe."
"I suppose you have reason for concern. I mean with Lydecker and all. Well I better get back to my roommate." She said, looking for a reason to get away from Max. She was sure she had said something to make Max mad judging by the look on her face.
"You think I'm gonna let you get away without introducing you to my friends." Max knew exactly what she was thinking and softened her expression, "Don't worry, I'm not mad at you, just surprised you didn't call before you came."
Chimaera was relived to hear that Max wasn't mad at her, " Well, let me go tell Jessie, my roommate, and we can go."
"Let's go."
Max and Chimaera walked over to where Jessie sat, waiting for Chimaera's return.
"Hey, what took you so long?" She asked Chimaera.
"Sorry, I dropped the pitcher," Chimaera said and seeing the question on Jessie's face she continued, "This is Max. She's my twin. I didn't know she was here. Anyway, we're going to go sit with her friends, k?"
"You can come with." Max said, before Jessie had time to even say hi.
"O.k. Let me go get some more beer and I'll join you." Jessie said as she got up from the table.
"Well, let's go. Cindy's dying to meet you," Max said.
"O.k.," Chimaera grabbed her stuff that had been at the table and they walked over to Max's friends.


Part 6
"Hey boo." Cindy said as the two approached.
"Max? Which one are you?" Sketchy asked. He was beyond drunk now.
"Sketchy, I'm wearing the red shirt remember?" She was amused by how fast he could get drunk.
"Well, sit down and introduce us," Herbal said, coming to Chimaera's rescue.
"Ok. I'll sit by Cindy, and Chimaera, you sit between Herbal and me. Oh, Jessie can sit between Herbal and Sketchy," Max said as they all sat down. "Let me start this off," Max, continued, "this is my little sister, Chimaera."
"She's only five minutes older than me, by the way she talks, you'd think it was five years," Chimaera said, before introducing Jessie, "oh, yeah. This is Jessie, my roommate and best friend, other than Max. Now Max, tell us all your friend's names."
"K. This is Herbal, the drunk is Sketchy, and my homegirl here is Original Cindy."
"Hey," the two sober ones said as Sketchy just looked even more confused than normal with two Max's sitting with them.
"Tell us more about yourself, Chimaera," Cindy asked.
"I'm from Gillette. I was adopted when we were born. Max and I were separated then. I just moved here from Phoenix. I don't know what else to tell you now."
"Well, you could tell them about how you didn't call to tell me you were coming or about how you didn't call when you got here."
"Max, chill."
She recognized the voice as being Logan's. She stood and ran to him.
Logan was surprised at how she just threw herself into his arms, but after having something like this dropped on her, he could kinda understand.
Max knew that this would surprise him, but she didn't care. After she kissed him, she grabbed his hand, lacing her fingers in his, which surprised him even more. She led him over to the table where everyone sat half watching her and half talking to Chimaera.
Chimaera watched Max and Logan walk over and was surprised to see Logan sit in Max's chair and even more surprised to see her sit in his lap and let him put his arms around her.
Logan and Max seemed not to care that everyone was staring at them and continued to act all cute with each other until Sketchy asked if he was missing something.
"Hey Logan. Good to see you again," Chimaera said to him.
"Hey, good to see you too," he replied.
"Wait you know her?" Max said, turning to face him.
"I didn't know who she was until a few hours ago. I had her do a job for me."
"Oh. And what about me? Didn't want me to get hurt? Why didn't you tell me she was here?"
"She made me promise. I said I'd let her tell you she was here, and before you ask, she was coming to Crash anyway and I didn't tell her that you'd be here."
"He's right Max. I didn't know that he was your boyfriend or that you'd be here," Chimaera piped up.
"Ok then. I'll let you both live. But you are gonna explain later, especially you," Max pointed at Chimaera. "Jessie, can I kidnap her tonight? I wanna talk to her."
"Yeah. I'll take her home and then bring her over," Jessie said, before asking Chimaera.
"What about my opinion?" Chimaera asked.
"Don't you wanna spend time with your big sister and her boyfriend?" Max asked her.
"Of course. I was just making sure I still had the option to run," she said, and seeing the look on Max's face, added, " I'm just kidding."
"Ok. So Jessie will take you home and then bring you over to our place. I'll write the address for you," Max said as she grabbed the pen Jessie was handing her and a napkin. She quickly scribbled the address and gave it to them. "I'll bring her home when we are done."
"Ok. C'mon Chimaera. It's been nice to talk to you all. Bye," Jessie said as she and Chimaera grabbed their things.
"Bye everyone. I'll see you in awhile Max," Chimaera called over her shoulder.
"Bye," they all called to them.
"Well we should be going. Are you ready Max?" Logan said.
"Hmm, what? Oh yeah. We gotta get home and get the guest room ready seeing as how it hasn't been used in a while," Max said, referring to how she preferred to sleep with Logan now.
"Ok. We'll see you later Boo," Cindy said.
Herbal and Sketchy both just waved.
Max stood up and walked away.
"Where are you going?" Logan asked.
"To put my bike in the Aztek," she answered in an annoyed tone.
"I gotta go calm her down before she does something stupid," Logan told Cindy.
"You do what you gotta do, but be careful with her," Cindy told him. This warning was all too familiar to him by now.
"Bye."
"Bye."
Cindy returned to Herbal and Sketchy's conversation about some dumb topic as Logan ran to catch Max.


Part 7
"Why didn't you tell me that she was here?" Max called from the bedroom, where she was changing.
"I told you, she made me promise," Logan told her.
"Whatever," she said as she came into the room wearing her black sweats and his black tank top. She kept walking past him and went onto to the balcony.
"Why didn't she call me? Why did I pay more attention to her and call her more? Oh well. All that matters now is getting to know her better before Zach found out. Only after she decided to forgive Logan, she went back inside.
"Logan, I'm sorry. I'm still in shock about this whole thing," she said to him.
"That's ok. Now come here."
"Why?" she asked as she walked over to the counter where he stood.
"This is why," he said as he grabbed her and pulled her closer.
"Logan don't start anything you can't finish," she told him.
"Why?" He put his hand under her chin and kissed her. She put her arms around his neck and allowed him to deepen the kiss. Just as he moved on to kiss her neck, Bling came in with Chimaera. They didn't have enough time to really move apart before they entered the room.
"Are we interrupting?" Bling asked.
"Of course, but I'll let it slide," Max said with a smile. It was not the first time Bling had caught them in a compromising position.
"I found Chimaera outside. I thought she was Max. They look so much alike."
"Well, duh. We're twins," Chimaera said, totally surprising Max and Logan fac, who were now standing so that Max was in front of Logan and his arms were around her.
"Well, I just came to get something and I'll be leaving," Bling said as he left the room.
"Ok. Bye Bling," Logan said.
"Bye," the girls called.
"C'mon. Let's get you settled in the guest room," Max said as she grabbed Chimaera's bag.
"Ok. but where will you sleep?" she asked.
"With Logan, of course," she replied.
"I'm gonna make some coffee and I'll join you in the living room," he called.
"Ok," Max called back.
The girls reached the room and Max set the bag down on the bed. "The bathroom's right there. Towels are on the rack if you want to shower. I'm gonna go out to the living room with Logan, come out when you finish," Max told her.
"Ok. I'll be out in half an hour or so and this time don't start anything you two can't finish," Chimaera said, with a laugh after seeing the look on Max's face.
Max shut the door and walked out to join Logan on the couch for some much needed cuddle time.
