Liz woke up early on Saturday to get ready for her big day. She took a relaxing bath to calm her nerves, before going to her closet. She rummaged through her clothes, trying to figure out what to wear.
She discarded one outfit after another; none of them appealing to her or what she felt was appropriate. Finally after much debating, she settled on a baby blue sundress with thin, spaghetti straps.
She slipped into a pair of sandals, and lightly spritzed herself with perfume. Perfume? She shook her head at the thought. The last time she had worn her perfume was on a date with Max.
Max… She wondered what he was doing, thinking… Was he thinking of her? 'Stop it, Liz!' she silently ordered herself. She wasn't going to think about Max. She wasn't going to let the thought of not being with him ruin her first meeting with her online friend.
With a determined nod to her reflection, she left her room to head to Saturn's.
Max scurried around his room in search of his other shoe. He had exactly ten minutes to get ready and get over to Saturn's. Although he had gotten up very early in the morning, it took him hours to settle on something to wear.
He had finally decided on a pair of black dress pants, a black buttoned-down shirt that was open to reveal a white T-shirt underneath.
Ah! He pulled his shoe out from under the pile of clothes on his floor and shoved his foot into it. He looked around at the uncharacteristic mess of his room and shrugged. He didn't have time to clean it up.
He stumbled his way to his dresser to grab his cologne. He looked at it, thinking bout how glad he was that Izzy wasn't there to see him. She'd tease him for his nervousness, hounding him to know why he was trying to impress someone, when the only person he claimed to love was Liz.
He only wore his cologne for Liz, as well… 'Don't go there, Max!' He shook his head. He didn't want to pine for her when meeting AlienLuvR.
With a last check in the mirror, he headed toward the jeep.
