Disclaimer: Dark Angel is cool, but I don't own it.

A/N: So this is chapter 3. I know it's short, but I actually have an idea of where this is going, so as soon as I get reviews, I'll post more. Tee hee.

A/N2: This chapter is dedicated to my sister, just cos she's so cool!



"Junior!" Max grimaced inwardly at Logan's Uncle Jonas' name for Logan.

"Hi Uncle Jonas." Logan said, falsely cheerful. "You remember Max?"

//Oh God.// Max thought desperately. //He's sizing me up like a piece of meat again.//

"Nice to see you again." Max was inwardly screaming "NOT!"

"You too." Jonas replied, raising his eyebrows. Max had to clamp her mouth firmly shut to avoid both saying something she'd regret, and throwing up.

"Logan, dear. How are you?" Logan's Aunt Margo seemed a little too cheerful for Max's liking.

"I'm good Aunt. You remember Max too?" Logan was promoting his Aunt to say hello, considering the fact that she had studiously ignored Max's existence.

"Ah, yes, the girlfriend." Even Logan was surprised at his Aunt's distasteful tone.

"Shall we eat?" Jonas asked.

//Saved by the guy with the hat.// Max thought, smiling to herself.



The dinner, in Max's opinion, had been awful. The disgusting "Gourmet" food was practically inedible, thus leaving Max hungry and cranky. Margo and Jonas had been dropping hints all night about Max's intentions with Logan, about his money, mostly. Not to mention their obvious dislike for Logan.

Some choice comments made by Margo and Jonas that night included; "What's a guy like you do all day? Probably sleep, right?", and "So how does it feel to scam off the same people for your whole life?"

Logan took these comments in his stride, knowing full well that Jonas would get his, and soon.

The first part of Max and Logan's plan was ready to be put into action at 9:00. Max gave Logan a questioning look, and he nodded in response.

"Ahem" Logan cleared his throat. //Man this will be funny. I just hope it doesn't turn into a wealthy version of Jerry Springer!//

"I have an announcement to make." Logan paused to look at Max. He understood that she was nervous, but he noted that she was looking slightly white. //I'll ask her about it later.// He thought.

"I have a very important gift for Max, to show my love for her."

In reality, Logan had already given Max this gift. He remembered her reaction.

**Flash**

"Logan I can't"

"Yes you can Max. I've known since the moment I met you that I loved you. Ever since then, you have made me a better man. Not to mention saving my life a few dozen times, whether you knew it or not."

"Thankyou Logan."

**End Flash**

"Max, you mean the world to me." Logan started, getting out of his seat and standing before Max. "I love you, and I want you to have my mother's locket as a symbol of this love."

Max was overwhelmed. While she had received the gift previously, Logan's words made her tear up again.

Logan bent down and closed the locket around Max's neck.

The look on Margo's face, in Logan's opinion was priceless. //Man, of all the times to be without a camera.// He thought.

Logan looked over and smiled at Max. The night's surprises were far from over.
