those who reviewed - I'll post again SOON!
Seattle 2021 Logan's kitchen 12:06 PM
As I walk into Logan's kitchen, I wonder where my ever-so-handsome boy is. Usually on workdays, he's a good little boy and has lunch ready for me when I come by, but he's not here today. I chuckle to myself. The ease at which I have fallen into being Logan's girlfriend is amazing, but I just feel so comfortable with the whole situation. The funny thing is, I really can't bring myself to care. I'm happy, and I'm gonna enjoy being happy for once.
As I'm grinning to myself, the elusive Logan makes his appearance.
"Max, I didn't know you were here yet!" He grins, walking forward and catching me in a bear hug.
"Mmmm. I was just wondering why my personal chef hadn't left me any food." I pouted - an easy way to get Logan's attention.
He groaned. "Actually, there's some sandwiches on the counter over there." He smirked at me. "Not a very observant cat burglar today, are we?"
I gasp in mock horror, heading over to get the sandwiches. "Well that was just rude Mr. Cale."
He just grinned at me. "Oh, I meant to tell you, Christmas is all organised."
"Yeah?" God this man is so organised.
"Everyone's coming. Cindy, Sketchy, Normal, Sebastian, Six." He trailed off.
"You contacted Six?"
"Actually, yeah. Her whole band's coming." At my quizzical look, he explained. "They're gonna play us some songs." He grinned.
"Cool."

I couldn't believe it when Logan called to ask me to Christmas dinner. I mean, the man is my father, but he doesn't know that, and he didn't have to ask me to dinner, but he did. It made me really happy. I've gotta be careful though. I mean, if I'm too happy, he might clue in to what's going on.
I sigh. The last couple of weeks have just seemed that way. I have to hold myself back from telling Max and Logan the truth, and I think it's beginning to ruin me, spiritually speaking.
See, although Manticore obviously didn't mean to, they made my spirit integral to my gifts. I suppose it makes sense. I mean, how can a soulless being read other people's souls? Either way, I know that my gifts are very sensitive to my state of mind and spirit. Like any Manticore soldier, if I'm upset or hurt (Physically or mentally) in some way, my gifts are obviously not going to be at their peak. I sigh to myself. Thus the reason that I am on my way to bed at 5pm - I need to rest my gifts. Gotta be at my peak for Christmas dinner.
Seattle 2021 South Market 5:55 PM
Whenever I come to a city that I've never been to before, I always think two things. Number one, I wonder if any of my siblings live here, and number two, where's the nearest mall?
So I got to Seattle, and apart from the constant thoughts of my siblings, I've been having a pretty good time. Turns out there's pretty good shopping, so once again I'm content. Of course, I'm gonna have to get a job here, and soon. I do like this place though, I think I'll stay for awhile.

I am actually really looking forward to our little Christmas celebration now. As well as all of our friends, Six is coming, and I really want to get to know her better. There's something about her that calls out to me, and I want to know what it is. Plus, she a genius with that guitar of hers, despite the fact that it looks like its seen better days. It'll be good not to have to worry about entertainment music-wise. Six seemed more than happy to oblige.
I just love watching Max sleep. The first couple of nights that she slept here, she seemed a little uncomfortable. Not that she'd tell me that or anything. It was just the little things I noticed, like her hair. For the first couple of nights, she wore her hair tied up - maybe she thought it'd get in my way or something. When she became more comfortable though, she started to wear it out to bed. I like it that way. I love how her hair lies across the pillow, like a soft cloud of dust. She hasn't cut it since she got back from Manticore, so it keeps getting longer. I can't help twirling a stray piece around my finger as I watch her sleep peacefully. I sigh, contented. I could definitely get used to this.

Six has always been an interesting girl. Ever since I met her I knew there was something going on, but she'd never tell me what the deal was. I may be her manager, but I'm certainly not her confidant. That's if she even has a confidant.
I'm reluctant to wake her up this morning. She's sleeping peacefully, and I always seem to think that she doesn't get enough sleep, so I'm very tempted to leave her where she is. After all, it's not like she needs to rehearse with the band - she's practically a musical genius. However, it's very unlike her to be late for a rehearsal. She's so dedicated to everything she does; it's just not like her.
