Hey, an update! Yay! And this chapter is a lot longer than the previous... though nothing happens. Again, nothing happens. Hello, what's wrong with me? Well, they're gonna have that Truth and Dare I promised you guys soon... Maybe next chapter?

Well, school's started again, and my next holiday starts the *gasp* 23rd of December (I know, it's outrageous, lol), so... But even though I get LOADS of homework, I WILL try to get something done. Just hang on.. :)

By the way, am I the only one that thinks that Christina Aguilera's music is SO Dark Angel related?? Especially the stuff from her first cd, but also some of her new songs... it's weird, really, but there's just a connection there...

Reviews (I love you guys.):

Gamegirl452: Ooh, thanks! And I know! Horrible, innit? Don't worry though, there's not a speck of LoganLover left in me. He's completely overshadowed by the Wonder that is Alec. ;)
msredux: Hehe, I keep giving excuses... What can I say? Action is slowly creeping up in the background... We're just building tension. Yes. ...Right... - Okay I'm so sorry, I'll get you some action asap!
ZombieGurl98: You're welcome, here's a bit more..
ting: lol, I'm so glad you thought that was funny! :D It's so typical of Alec, eh...? Yeah, I'm afraid both Max and Alec are a bit dense...
rain: Hehe. Well, no truth/dare this time (I forgot again!! Would you believe it?)... But thanks for your support, I'll see what I can do. :)

"Oh my GOD that was lame," Max huffed, as the credits started rolling. "I mean, the fight scenes alone were horrible, and there was actually no plot, just three girls thinking they were hot!"

Alec coughed slightly, "Yeah, the, er, the fight stuff was bad..." he said.

His hesitation didn't go unnoticed by Max. "Yeah, I know. But the rest sucked too! Right?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, I... I mean, they were... sorta hot," Alec said sheepishly.

Max let out a snort. "Oh my god, that's just what OC would have said! Damn, I am all alone in a world full of women-wanters!"

"You know, some people would think that was an advantage," Alec said cheekily.

"I suppose... But hey, sometimes I might wanna talk boys with someone!"

"Hey don't look at me!" Alec said quickly. After a while of thinking, he added, "But you might wanna try Normal. He seems... keen on the subject." Alec cringed; he had a hunch that there was more than general admiring behind Normal's treatment of "his Golden Boy".

Max smiled, "I bet." This was so weird. They were having a conversation... like, normally. The night was getting stranger and stranger. "Hey, you wanna watch another movie?" she asked.

Alec looked over the movies he'd picked out, "I dunno. I mean, nothing could top Charlie's Angels," he said with a wink.

"You pig," Max grumbled.

"Hey, you gotta admit, they were hot! Especially that Asian chick, I mean she was just-"

"Okay, okay, fine! Whatever, I don't wanna hear it!" Hot? He was sitting here with a female person, and talking about hot girls? When did that happen? *But, okay, that's what friends do I s'pose.* Hold on... *Friends? Huh?* Max was kinda confused. She'd better change the subject. "Hey, let's check out that Lord of the Rings flick, then."

Alec obliged, picking up the cassette and putting it in the VCR.

The world has changed...

"I dunno," Alec said

I feel it in the water

"...I think I've seen this movie before," he said, looking at the black screen.

I feel it in the earth

"Yeah... me too. But, you know, it's really good" Max replied.

I smell it in the air

"It is." Alec said. "...I like the dwarf."

"I like the elf," Max said, smiling.

"Legolas?" Alec asked disbelievingly, surprising Max with actually knowing the characters' names. "Really Max, I'd thought you'd be more of an Aragorn fan girl." he paused, "But it doesn't matter does it? They're both so... stereotypical. That's not like you, Max."

Max huffed. "Stereotypical? You're one to talk! Please, all girls worship you!" She spluttered. However, the instant she'd said it, she regretted it, and even more so when Alec's face lit up with what could only be an evil grin. *Damn!*

"Really Max," Alec said, drawing out the words, trying not to feel too pleased with himself. Oh heck, he could feel as pleased as he wanted! "To an outsider, it might look like you actually game me... a compliment?" he said, being overly dramatic, just for the heck of it.

Max couldn't believe her own stupidity. How could she have said something like that? God, she'd never live it through... She only meant- well, it wasn't like... oh, but she didn't mean to say it out loud! ...Sure, plenty of girls liked Alec; he knew that just as well as she did; everybody did. But hell, she didn't mean to give him the satisfaction of her acknowledging it, never!

Alec inwardly chuckled; he could literally see the tables turning in her mind trying come up with some sort of clever remark. Well, it didn't matter, did it? She'd said it already, 'All girls worship you'... Well, of course he already knew that, and bragged a lot about it, too, but somehow... it was different, coming from her.

Max sighed. She knew when she was defeated, that was one thing Manticore taught her. "Let's just... watch the movie," she said, watching Gandalf and Frodo drive through Hobbiton in that horse carriage thing.

Please review and tell me if you liked it! :)

By the way, please tell me if you are getting a bit sick of all my pop culture references, okay? I know there are a lot... but they're so fun to do! And it's not just to fill space. Notice the LotR quotes sewn into the fic... Read what they say. It's sort of like Alec's first line during the movie is related to the stuff Galadriel's saying. "The world has changed;" could that be something's different about M/A's feelings for one another...? Sorry if the reference was a bit vague, but it was meant that way. I hope you got it now. :P
