A/N: Just to let you know, Tess isn't evil, Alex isn't dead and Kyle and Maria are now step-brother and step-sister. Also, Max and Liz are together, as well as Michael and Maria, Isabel and Alex, and Kyle and Tess.

This chapter is really just a filler.

Chapter 1

Michael and Max sat opposite Isabel and Tess in their usual booth in the Crashdown Café. Liz and Maria were running round like headless chickens trying to serve amidst the lunchtime rush. Michael was trying to annoy Maria by complaining very loudly about the service. He'd been going on about it for at least 5 minutes now.

"Jeez, you'd think someone could get a bit of service," he said. "I mean that's the waitresses are paid for."

Maria looked over, annoyance evident on her face.

"Oooo! Now one of then is giving me a 'look'! Not typical, kind waitress behaviour I might say!"

Maria started to walk over to him.

"Now she's walking towards me with a.a jug of water?...wait!" said Michael.

Just as Maria arrived at their booth, Liz appeared by her side and together they poured two jugs of water over Michael's head. The whole of the diner erupted into laughter, including Alex and Kyle who had just appeared at the door in time for the revenge.

Maria and Liz gave each other a 'high five' and walked away. They looked back at Michael and were satisfied when they saw him sitting in shock, water dripping down his face and his hair, and his t-shirt soaking wet.

Michael looked around at Max, Isabel and Tess, who were trying, but not succeeding, in hiding the smiles on their faces. He glared at them.

"Hey! It's your own fault Michael!" exclaimed Max, holding his hands up.

Isabel and Tess nodded in agreement, smiles still on their faces.

Michael stood up and stormed towards the door of the café. He shoved it open and went outside.

Tess, Max and Isabel stood up and set off after him. Max turned round as they got near the door.

"We'd better go after him," he called to Maria and Liz, who were back to serving customers.

Maria waved her hand dismissively and Liz just nodded. As the three of them left the café, Maria and Liz burst into laughter.

Alex and Kyle followed after Max, Isabel and Tess, laughing and joking and thinking of ways to use this episode against Michael for a long time to come.
