A/N: I know Tinga is supposed to be dead. But this is my story and in this
story she isn't.

CHAPTER 2
Tonisha hung up the phone and looked at Alec. "Who was that?" he asked.
"I don't know probably one of those pranks." She said. "Anyway, what did you need that was so important?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Max ran back to TC tears streaming down her face. When a girl stopped her. It was Jessi an X5 Max met a week ago.
"What's wrong?" Jessi asked her.
"It's Alec." She said weeping. "I think he's cheating on me!" she finished and the other girl embraced her.
A few more girls came around them. "What's the matter?" Kristy asked and shortly after her Stacey asked the same question.
"She thinks Alec is cheating on her." Jessi said quietly.
All the other girls stood with their mouths open in disbelief.
Dawn and Chris ran over to where the girls were huddled together.
"You will not believe what we just saw." Dawn spoke. "What?" the others asked.
"Alec sitting in a café shop with another woman!" Chris exclaimed.
"Oh my god!" Max broke down again. "I knew it!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Alec and Tonisha walked out side. "Thank you so much Ton!" Alec exclaimed happily.
"Anything for an old friend." She answered.
"Okay call me when you find something." He said walking off.
"Will do." She answered and went in a separate direction.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Alec walked in TC looking around for Max; he hadn't seen her almost all day. He walked over to an X6 known as Mat. "Hey Mat, you seen Max?" he asked him.
"I think she said something about spending the night over at OC's." he said fixing an old radio.
"Ok, thanks." Alec said and walked to his little apartment.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I should have expected it OC." Max said shaking her head. "But for some reason I wouldn't let my self think he would do something like this."
"Are you sure he was cheating, maybe she was just a friend?" OC commented.
"Oh, please! Since when does Alec have female friends?" she stopped.
"I mean think about it!" she continued. "He called this woman and was talking to her when I walked in. He seemed happy. And I understand why he would, we've both been busy and we didn't see each other a lot."
"But is that reason to cheat on someone?" OC asked.
"You don't know Alec. When he doesn't get any from me for a while, he gets the wondering eye."
"Doesn't sound like the Alec I know." OC said.
"Are you taking his side?" Max asked.
"Nah! I'm just sayin' he's not the type of guy that would cheat on someone."
"What are you talking about?" Max asked "You seen how many girls he was with before we hooked up."
"Yeah, but he wasn't dating anyone!"
Max stared confused.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Alec stood by his bed early in the morning with his cell phone in hand.
"Are you sure?" he asked critically.
Toni answered.
"Alright, thank you and call me when you find more." He hung up and looked around.
He wanted to surprise Max, but how was he supposed to tell her he had to leave town? He took a piece of paper and began scribbling.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next morning Max walked back to her apartment early in the morning. 'I guess I have to face him sooner or later.' She thought as she entered. 'But I really don't feel like fighting with him.'
Empty. She saw the bed wasn't made so she knew he slept there. She sighed and walked over, on the nightstand stood a note she picked it up and read it.
Dear Max,
I have to leave town for a while. But don't worry it has nothing to do with White. I'm just planning a surprise for you, and I hope you'll like it and I'll be back soon, I promise. I love you so much you can't even imagine.
Truly yours
Alec.
'I can't believe this. He just lied to me and signed it!' she thought miserably and sat on the edge of the bed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was early in the morning and Alec was tired, but he had to do this. He walked through a ruined building, and stopped in front of a door and knocked on the door. A pretty woman with long, dark hair opened.
"Can I help you?" she asked.
"Yes." He answered. "Are you Tinga?"
She quickly pulled him inside and shut the door. "How did you know my name?" she asked.
"Well, I'm Alec, Max's boyfriend and I am planning a surprise for her." She cut him off.
"Max? She's still alive?" She asked her.
"Yeah. I was sorta hoping to get the family together for a big surprise." He said.
Tinga walked over to the couch and sat down. "I didn't think she'd made it. That night." She said still in shock.
Alec nodded understanding. "So. Are you coming?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
PUNCH!
Max caught her breath and hit the punching bag again. 'They should really make these things heavier.' She thought as she kicked it again, and again.
Jessi walked into the large training room which currently only occupied Max. "Are you going to be alright?" Jessi asked in concern.
"Yeah. I'm always alright." Max said mimicking Alec. Then she stopped and grabbed the bag. "Right?" she asked insecurely.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Alec sighed and knocked on another door. He hadn't gotten any sleep in over 30 hours, and after that long drive to San Francisco he could really use it.
The door opened and a young man identical to Max stood there waiting for Alec to introduce him self. When he saw that Alec was staring at him he thought maybe he should start. "Can I help you?" he offered.
"Uh, Yeah." Alec finally said, he couldn't believe how identical he is to Max. "I'm Alec, Max's boyfriend. And I was planning-" The man stopped him.
"What?" he gave the same response Tinga did.
"Max as in my little sister Max?" he asked.
"Yes. I'm X5-494, formally known as Alec." He reached out and shook his hand.
"I'm Krit." He answered.
"Yeah. I know who you are," Krit put his hand out. "Hold on." He said.
"Syl! Come here! You will not believe who is here." He yelled. Shortly after a thin blonde walked in. "What is it?" she asked in annoyance.
"Come here. I want you to meet Alec," she reached out and shook his hand. "Max's boyfriend." Syl quickly pulled away.
"Huh?" she asked.
"I've come all the way from Seattle for a huge favor. I was hoping you could come to Seattle for a surprise I'm planning for Max."
"Sure." They said in unison.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Max shut her eyes closed in irritation. She couldn't fall asleep and it was driving her crazy. She just wanted to fall asleep and forget about everything, but it wasn't working.
Max turned for the 427th time, she counted. And this time decided to sleep on her stomach, but something woke her. His smell. "Oh shit!" she yelled. His intoxicating fragrance was permanently trapped in the sheets.
She groaned and turned on her back, and began counting dots on the ceiling. "1,2,3,4,5,..8, 10." She finished tiredly and drifted off to sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Zane and Jondy stared at Alec. "Okay, so let me get this straight." Zane said in confusion. "You're Ben's clone, and you want us to go to Seattle to see Max?"
Alec nodded. "Yeah, that's about right."
Jondy looked at Zane in excitement. "Come on let's go!" she yelled and jumped up.
"Man, I haven't seen Max since I was. 8!" Zane said.
"Yeah, I can't wait to see the look on her face. But it's a surprise." Alec warned them, and they nodded.
