CHAPTER: Big Dreams
Max and Alec had been sitting on the needle watching the people looking like ants from above. They were playing a silly game which involved trying to guess what street a person would turn to. They almost forgot they still had work to do.
"Hey we should be getting back before Normal fires us." Max pointed out.
"Yeah, you're right," he said.
" Ok, I'll carry this and you can go back to work."
He knew she wanted to talk to doctor, but he wanted to make up for the way he acted, so he figured he should just go to show her that he wasn't taking it personally. " No, I'll come with you."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Max rang the bell that was near the gate. From the locks of it she could tell that this man was loaded. She saw a security camera move toward her and Alec and she held up her Jam pony ID up to it. The gate opened shortly after. They walked into the house; it was gorgeous in the inside. When they stepped in the first thing the noticed was that they were standing on a Persian rug and Picasso paintings hung on the walls. " This is nice," Max, said trying to look at every thing at the same time.
" Nice doesn't quite describe it," Alec said gazing, there was a hundred and one things he could steal in this house and his eyes saw a hundred and one cameras for each one of the objects.
" Joshua would love those," she said pointing at the paintings.
A housekeeper coming towards them interrupted their gazing. " I'll sign for it," she said taking the package. She signed for it and opened the door for them to leave.
Max stopped her from closing the door, " I was hoping I could talk to the doctor," Max asked pleadingly.
The housekeeper looked at her skeptically then she opened the door for them to come back in. She left them where they were standing before and returned a few minutes later with the doctor. "I herd someone's seeking my knowledge," he asked with a smile.
" Hi, I'm Max and this is my friend Alec," she said pointing at Alec. " I have a medical problem." She said laughing lightly.
" Well medical problems are what I'm best at," he said with a warm smile, " come this way,"

" Ah this is very odd indeed," Dr Wong said looking under his microscope in his laboratory. He tried to adjust his microscope to see if there was a problem with it, but nothing was wrong. " You're one of them aren't you?" he asked.
" Excuse me?"
" I asked you if you're transgenic," he said looking up at her. Max was shocked she didn't say anything. " My guess is he's one too," he said pointing at Alec. He saw the expression of horror on their faces, " Don't worry it's all confidential."
" So can help me," she said.
" Yes, but it will cost you."
" How much." She knew it would cost her and she was willing to take whatever bill was handed to her.
" I guess it would be about five hundred thousand," he said like it was the most reasonable price in the world.
" What?" Max and Alec said together, they knew it would be high but that was just ridiculous.
" Well these things do cost money," he said in his defense. " And some of them aren't exactly legal."
Max sighed she really wanted this, and she was willing to spend all her money on it. " Ok, I'll get the money to you by Friday."
Alec looked at her * is she serious, * he thought. " Max one moment please." He led her aside a corner of the room. " Are you nuts," he asked.
" Well I don't want anything else with the money," she said shrugging her shoulders.
" I can't believe you're goanna spend all the money on this," he said. " Don't you have anything else to do or anything else you want."
" No, this is all I want."
Well she confirmed it he wasn't what she wanted. " Go on then," he said pointing to the doctor. He stayed in that corner and watched Max talk with the doctor.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
" Oh you're back," said Normal seeing Alec walking thought the door. " You had me worried."
" Yeah, there was a traffic problem," he lied. He watched Normal buying his explanation; then he nodded and went in the back
" Now that's a good excuse," OC said from the back of them. "So what were you all really doing," she asked.
" What?" asked Alec totally confused?
" Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about," she said grinning. " I know all about you two,"
" Cindy, there's nothing between Max and I," * at least Cindy was on my side * he thought.
Original Cindy was not satisfied she had been trying to hint Max that Alec had feelings for her since only god knows when. She didn't want to get into it at first but she had to do something about it or it would go on forever considering how clueless Max was about it. " Max will have to crash at your place tonight again, I have company."
" Who's crashing where?" Max asked walking up to join them.
" I'll have company tonight." She lied.
" Don't you ever get tired," Max asked rolling her eyes. " I guess it's you and me again," she said addressing Alec.
" Why don't you just move in," he said. It supposed to be a joke he wished she would move in with him and stop thinking about Logan.
Max rolled her eyes again. " If you don't want me there you could just say so, I'll find some street corner to sleep," she said coolly.
" No, I want you to stay," he said reassuring her. He almost taking her hand then he realized what he was doing then he quickly stepped back.
" Good, then you can deliver this while I get some clothes." She threw the package at him and headed out the door.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Max and Alec dropped their bodies on the bed." This bed is so soft," Max, commented.
" I know, I wouldn't have a hard bed."
Max stopped for a moment and looked at Alec, he had been angry earlier now he was back to normal.
" What's that look about?" he asked noticing her looking at him.
" Alec, tell me something about yourself that I don't know."
He thought about the most important thing about himself that Max didn't know, he couldn't tell her he was in love with her. " Why?"
" I just want to know,"
" Well, I've never been with someone I was in love with."
Max was surprised by this, " so you and Rachel never." she regretted the question the moment she asked it.
Every time he heard the words "Rachel" and "Love" together he would get depressed but he wasn't now, he couldn't be, not when he was staring into the eyes of Max, someone he had a chance to be with. " No, we never got around to that,"
She didn't want to make him think about Rachel anymore than necessary, " So what about all those girls?"
" Oh please," he said like she was being ridiculous for even suggesting it.
" What," she said almost laughing.
" They were so annoyingly obvious. I mean every time it's same thing 'Alec you're so good,' and 'Alec you're so beautiful.' It's so sickening to hear that all the time.
" Alec those girls were in with you," she said in shock.
" They weren't in love me," he said sighing. "
" What you mean, they told you they loved you."
" They were in love with someone else, they didn't even know the real me," he said a far away look on his face. " As long as I gave them what they wanted they we're happy, they never even tried to get to know me, the real me that is"
" So when will this real you make an appearance."
He move a strand of hair away from face, " this, is the real me."
She smiled, " why do you have to me so complex, so layered and so damn secretive."
" Me, complex, layered and secretive."
This was one of the things she liked about Alec he was so interesting. "Every time I think I have you figured out you always surprise me."
" You've been trying to figure me out?" he said trying to suppress a smile. " If you told me that before I would have tried to be less ' complex'."
" Good."
" So do you want to go to Crash or something?"
" No, let's stay here." She said resting her head on his chest.
Alec was a little surprised; she had done this before but only when she was crying or scared but never when she was perfectly normal Max. He tried to relax. " So now you tell me something about yourself that I don't know."
" I don't think there's anything about me you don't know,"
" Come on there must be something I don't know."
" Well deep down I really wish that I could be normal,"
" Normal?" he said twisting up his face like he was disgusted at her strange fantasy.
" No, not Normal," she said punching him on his shoulder. " I mean like do things what normal twenty yeah olds do, you know what I mean."
" Yeah I know exactly what you mean"
NOTE: I think this is the longest thing I've written for this story. Well I hoped you like it. I 'm still trying to stretch it.
