Didn't like how it looked here at ff.net, so here's the new version. Hope the format is better this time.

Thought I'd try my hand at writing a fanfic. This is my first one,so please be nice! Ha, ha. Seriously, constructive feedback is welcome. I had planned to write more but wanted to get this posted.

Disclaimers: The usual. I do not own or profit from G.I. Joe or its characters. The events are purely fictional as is Max (my creation), who is not intended to represent anyone real. Please don't sue. Hope that covers it.

Scarlett's Journal

Feb 07, 2004

One week before Valentine's Day and with all the eligible guys around here, you'd think I'd have a date by now and I'm off on the 14th. Not so, most guys around here are like brothers to me and we're talking V-day, not the usual weekend.

Gotta to talk to Max from back home the other day. I miss him. We've been best friends since the first grade. We used climb on the roof of Dad's house and talk all night about anything and everything. Don't get to see or talk him as much now. I have this job and he travels a lot. Don't get any ideas! It was never anything more than friendship; even though others, including Dad & my brothers, tried to make more out of it. Enough of that.

So, I come home to relax after work and what do I walk into; Allie giving me "orders" to relocate next weekend. Apparently she and Dash have plans. Big surprise. Ha, ha. At least she gave me notice this time. Usually it's "get outta here". Hey, wait a sec! Wasn't this my place first and last I knew Dash doesn't have a roommate. Why am I the one who has to leave? **sigh**
