Disclaimer: He's mine! Mine! MINE! ... Err, sorry. *blushes*
Summary: In a land, far, far, far, away there once lived a princess and ... Uh, no, wait. Alec and Max magically start singing. I got this idea listening to the radio, when the Dirty Dancing song was on and I was *like always* thinking about Alec. So I figured, who wouldn't want to see Alec singing? The story practically wrote itself, really. Anyway, if you like the idea of Alec and Max singing and dancing, here you go. Also, there's a tiny little bit of Logan bashing. I like the guy, that's not it. He's just a little boring and Alec is way hotter!
A/N: Hey! Sorry this took so long to get up, I've been really busy and I had no time to write. Anyway, Freak Nation was a great episode! I loved it, though there wasn't much Alec in it *sob* but Normal was just so cute, hehehe.
A "little" part of the last chapter...
"Nothing happened!" She said quickly, and turned around so Alec couldn't see her blushing like a tomato.
"Sure." He said, wrapping his arms around her and turning her around in his embrace.
She looked up at him confused, and for a second he thought she might kiss him...
But Max being Max of course, she just hit him – softly though, he noticed, and with a cute mischievous smile playing on her *yummy, full, pouty...* lips – and walked away muttering something about getting a new pitcher.
Now on with the story!
Alec watched Max leave to get another pitcher, still wondering if she was just singing the first song that came to her mind or if she really meant the lyrics.
*Probably not, this is Max you're talking about, you dumbo.* His gaze fell to the floor. *But she did look like she was about to kiss you.*
With that thought, Max brushed past him and put the pitcher on the table, making any coherent thought impossible.
Max smiled to herself when she got back at their table. Alec seemed to be in deep thought. *About me?* She thought hopefully, then quickly put the pitcher on the table, brushing her hips seductively against his. She could feel her cheeks turning that tomato-red again.
Hoping Alec wouldn't notice her crimson face, Max sat down at the table and let her gaze fall on Original Cindy and Sketchy.
Original Cindy's black skin had a soft red tint to it, and Sketchy's face looked so red Max was afraid his head might explode.
Alec sat down on a chair next to her and laughed at Original Cindy and Sketchy.
Max finally found her voice, and even though it still sounded choked and soft she managed to say three words before it disappeared again.
"That was ... Strange."
"Yeah. I thought it might be something Manticore did but now Cindy and Sketchy are singing too." Alec was staring at her but she didn't notice.
"It was fun!" Sketchy quipped up happily.
They all stared at him.
"Well it was." He whispered feeling very embarrassed.
"Err right sugar, but it wasn't exactly normal." Original Cindy said, looking puzzled.
"Uhm, well, Logan will find out what it is, you guys. He always – " He frowned. What was that on his knee? "Uh, he always does." He looked down at his knee.
"Uh, Max?" He managed to say. Her hand was lying comfortably on his right knee, and she didn't seem to notice.
Max looked at his surprised face, then down at her hand, and right back up to his face.
If Alec had expected her to hit him and run away, he had been very wrong. Max simply smiled sweetly at him and looked back at Original Cindy and Sketchy debating if it had been fun or not.
Alec's mind was racing. *Maybe whatever is making us sing, finally got to her brains. Or maybe she's been possessed by an evil demon and it's making her all nice to me. Or or ... But why is her hand still on my knee? It feels so warm and ... Stop it Alec, she's probably possessed. Right, that's it.*
Max finally seemed to realize what she was doing and pulled her hand back from his knee as if it was on fire.
"Sorry." She said, blushing slightly.
Alec smiled at her, "It's alright." And took her hand, carefully putting it back on his knee, still smiling.
Max' mouth fell open slightly but she was able to close it and smile back at him.
None of them noticed Original Cindy being very confused and asking what on earth possessed them.
Before he knew it, Alec was singing again, "Love is a many splendored thing, love lifts us up where we belong, all you need is love."
Max blinked a few times, and looked away. "Please don't start that."
"All you need is love!"
"I..."
"All you need is looove."
By now Original Cindy and Sketchy's mouths where on the floor.
Max didn't know what so say ... Err, sing.
"All you need is loo-oove."
"Love is just a game!"
Alec smiled, happy he got a reply from her, even though she still wasn't convinced.
"I was made for loving you baby, you were made for loving me!"
"The only way of loving me baby, is to pay a lovely fee..."
Alec was drowning in her sweet voice but continued singing anyway. "Just one night ... Give me just one night."
*He sounds sincere enough,* She thought, *But this is Alec! And we are singing!*
She shook her head, "There's no way, because you can't pay!"
Alec sighed. "In the name of love, one night in the name of love!"
Max smiled softly, making Alec's heart skip a few beats. "You crazy fool...I wont give in to you..." But she didn't sound all that sure. She turned to leave before she got herself in to a big mess she knew she wouldn't be able to get her heart out of.
"Don't leave me this way, I can't survive without your sweet love. Oh baby, don't leave me this way..."
She stopped and turned to look at him. "You think that people would have enough of silly love songs."
Alec looked around. Everyone in Crash was looking at them, hoping Max would jump on him and kiss him. Well maybe everyone in Crash, but Max. "I look around me, and I see it isn't so."
Max tilted her head to the side a little, and smiled. "Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs..."
Alec smiled, realizing he was getting to her, at last. "Well what's wrong with that? I'd like to know. 'Cause here I go agaaain..."
Max stepped closer to him, and slipped her arms around his waist.
"Love lifts us up where we belong," He went on, "Where the eagles fly, on a mountain high!"
She looked up at him, questioningly. If it was possible Alec would've melted right there, on the spot.
"Love… Love makes us act like we are fools," She tried her hardest to turn away again but found herself drowning in his – yummie!! – hazel eyes. "Throw our lives away, for one happy day..."
Alec thought back about Terminal City and all the trangenics. "We can be heroes! Just for one day."
"You, you will be mean..." She looked down at her shoes.
Alec laughed. "No I wont." He smiled and held her in his arms.
"And I, I'll hit you all the time!"
Alec gave her an I-dont-care-look and kissed her forehead. "We should be lovers."
Max shook her head, "We can't do that!!"
Both of them, having forgotten about Original Cindy and everyone else at Crash, were shocked when Cindy's voice broke the silence.
"Come on, boo! You can't wait around for roller-boy all your life!"
Alec gave her a thankful smile, which Original Cindy gladly returned.
With his new found strength he sang a bit louder, making every female at Crash melt. (And me!)
"We should be lovers, and that's a fact!"
"No, nothing would keep us together..." She sang, thinking about the war going on and all the transgenics that needed their help.
"We could steal time..." With that, his lips met hers in a soft, careful kiss.
She pulled back and smiled up at him, then they sang together.
"Just for one day, we can be heroes, forever and ever! We can be heroes..."
They kissed again, a lot more passionate and deeper this time, getting lots of "ooh" and "aww"s from everyone at Crash. Original Cindy and Sketchy started cheering and soon everyone joined in, while Max and Alec were lost in each other's arms.
A/N: To be continued :-) I really hope you liked this part, it's a bit fluffy I know, but the next chapter will be funnier, I promise! The song is from the Moulin Rouge, which I watched yesterday. Ewan is yummie but Alec is WAY yummier! ;-) Please review!
