*Chapter 8 begins with a tired Maxine, two feet away from Max, who has just fallen asleep.*
Maxine: Phew, I need some, SUGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR! - and I own nothing. -
Timothy: Not so fast. Where do you think you're going?
Maxine: Like you don't know. It's Thursday. I always go to school on thursday, unless I'm so sick I admit it. If it's just snifles and a tummy ache, I'm goin. But since I'm feeling way above the weather, School day it is! -whispers- besides, it's not like we have any teachers.
Timothy: Ok, fine. I guess I'll go with you. -whispers.- Cecilea's skippin' school today, she went out with what she calls "the guys." -happy voice- I find them to be no-good idiots who play videogames at the arcade all day long.
Maxine: Like it makes much of a difference where she goes. No teachers, the principal's ... where? And there's no one to take attendance.
Timothy: Oh, there are a couple students who do take attendance. No one pays attention to them though. They kinda just wander around the halls themselves.
Maxine: Whaaa? I really wonder about the school we attend. Well, let's go.
Croquet: Yes, Should I drive you today, Ma'am? It looks like rain will be coming soon.
Maxine: Maybe on the way home, I guess. I should have something else for you to call me by then.
Croquet: O.o? Ma'am, I work for you, I have to call you "ma'am."
Maxine: Yes, but... k, if you wish.
Croquet: ^_____________________________________^ K.
Max: -still in sleep.- k, bye. woofles. mmm, cheese. croquet, Gorgonzola. Wine. Funny Buuuuny.
Maxine: O.o? Funny What?
Timothy: A childhood favorite of his, Funny Bunny. It's a mischievous pink little bunny that runs around and never gets caught. I never thoroughly followed. I ... don't see a need to.
-both outside two blocks from school, still talking about the pink rabbit.-
Maxine: Yeah, I don't like the idea of a pink rabbit hopping around. Anywhere. Pink rabbit, who's messed up idea-
Timothy: I understand.
Maxine: Wow, at school already.
Cecilea: The guys got rowdy and we were kicked out of the arcade.
Maxine: ... K, and where did you get that outfit?
cecilea: Waht outfit? I wear stuff like this when I skip school. I make sure Daddy dearest is too tired to notice. Good job getting him tired last night.
Maxine: ARgh!
Timothy: Don't mind her, she's always like that. Anyway, on to school. Where a certain Little sister will be attending all of her classes.
Cecelia: Ough! Do be quiet, Timothy!
Timothy: -laughing.- hm. ^___^
Yugi: Hey, Maxine! I've been waiting for you. Come walk with me.
Timothy: bye.
Maxine: -being dragged down the hall by Yugi.- Lemme go, shrimp!
Yugi: When we get there.
Maxine: Where's there?
Yugi: -stops abruptly.- here.
Maxine: How can "here" be "there" when "here"'s "here"?
Yugi: I was speaking in past tense.
Maxine: I thought it was future, but ok.
Yugi: Well, we're here, now, so.
Anzu: Well, well, well, look what we have here.
Maxine: K, so some chick's gone violently evil.
Anzu: Yes, and, wait, no! I don't want to be mean! But I see we've got a new cheerleader?
Maxine: Really? where? I don't see any.
Anzu: Look in the mirror.
Maxine: and how will that show me a cheerleader?
Anzu: Just do it!
Maxine: - does. - K, I only see me, wait a minute! You aren't saying I'm the cheerleader! I haven't even tried out.
Timothy: Hey, I followed just to see what was going on. What's going on?
Maxine: Apparently some psycho signed me up to audition for cheer team!
Timothy: Who?
Anzu: I did. Wouldn't she make such a ceeeuuuute cheerleader?
Timothy: ... What? Her? A cheerleader? What in good cheeze sauce glory possessed you to do that?
Anzu: What? I dunno, but ... aww, gh! Gimme a break! it's obvious that she needs some friends and we're willing to be-
Timothy: Save the friendship speech, a real friend wouldn't go behind someone's back just for their own advantage.
Anzu: ... wow, you're right, Maxine, I'm really really sorry, I
Maxine: ... Timothy, let's go to class. I'll decide how to deal with this later, when I've actually got some time on my hands.
Timothy: I like that idea.
-meanwhile, in class-
Cecelia: And I play ... hmm, wait, what am I doing, again? This is ... black jack? No, go fish, right?
Some dude: Yeah, Ce, man you're gettin' dumber by the day.
Timothy: What'll we do?
Maxine: ... I don't know, but there should be some law against that.
Timothy: What she did was wrong and underhanded. ... hmm, I wonder if she's been speaking to Max lately.
Maxine: ... why would she do that?
Timothy: Well, they are making an obviouse effort to make friends with you, even thoouhg they go about it all wrong.
Maxine: hmm, yeah.
Deep-voiced-dude: I think I know where they're coming from.
Maxine: Oh, my fudge! You're the dude who ate Yugi, and then spat him back out again!
DVD: I didn't eat Yugi!
Maxine: ... k, if you say so.
DVD: I say so, why don't you give them a chance?
Maxine: maybe when I'm no longer on the list of Cheer-leading hopefuls. Because I'm not hopeful.
DVD: K, well, I assume you're emphasising "Maybe" and "not." But I don't think you mean "Maybe not." Well, just so you know, I'm Yami. Keep giving them a chance in mind.
Maxine: ... k.
Yami: bye.
Timothy: Yeah, bye.
Maxine: Speaking of DVD's, I'll go buy one I really want.
Timothy: you'll need it tonight.
Maxine: ??? èh?
Timothy: That's about all I can tell you.
Maxine: K.
Cecelia: Woohoo! I made $5.00 today! Oh yeah! hee-hee! And have we got a surprise for you.
Timothy: ... I guess. We don't know all about it ourselves. We do, however, know that Pegasus invited people.
Maxine: K, well, that's nice. I can't wait.
Timothy: good, then we'll skip ahead?
maxine: Not yet, Ivy isn't here.
Ivy: hey, 'sup.
Maxine: Apparently Max has something planned tonight.
Ivy: Ohh, riiight, something. K.
Maxine: Are you coming as well?
Ivy: I dunno, am I?
Maxine: I should very much like for you to.
Seto: -calling Mokuba- Hey, Mokuba, find out what Pegasus is up to tonight.
Mokuba: It's that thing. You know, the one.
Seto: THAT ONE? I'm SO in heaven.
Maxine: What is he on?
Ivy: who knows.
Timothy: He's known to get a little psychotic.
Maxine: (E'r'body in the club get tipsy.) EeeAUGH! I don't even like that song!! Evil has entered my mind. Wash it out!
Ivy: ... If you're talking about the Tipsy song, all you have to do is think of a song you like.
Maxine: K. (set me free of my disease, ooh, yeah! 'cuz I've got a disease deep inside me, makes me feel uneasy, baby...) I feel better.
Ivy: Sooo, what're we doin' today?
Maxine: ... How's 'bout we... mess with someone?
Ivy: 'eh?
Maxine: I choose, Duke.
Ivy: ... k.
Maxine: Hey, duke. 'sup?
Duke: Wow, I'm not a dooface anymore. I feel special. ^_________________^ Not much, I've just got countless girls adrool all over me, it's getting quite messy, in all actuality.
Maxine: K. I see. -"accidentaly pushes cup of dice over."- oops, I'm such a klutz today, I'm sorry.
Duke: 'sok. I got it. -goes to get it. -
Maxine: -"accidentally bumps cards off Dukes table."-
Duke: 'Sok. I got that, too.
Maxine: k, I'm really sorry.
Mai: That chick's almost better than I am, and did I detect a hint of my voice in hers?
*chapter ends here. See what happens next.*
Maxine: Yeah, I'd like some reviewers over here, I'm gettin' a teence tired of not havin' any, If I have no reviewers, how can I thank them? I like taking the time to thank reviewers, and take suggestions. Those're fun.
Max: -still asleep.- yess, such fun. mmm, nite, nite.
Maxine: Oh, boy. well, 'till next time.
Maxine: Phew, I need some, SUGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR! - and I own nothing. -
