Jam Pony Messenger Service
Max, being late for work again, walked into Jam Pony to find everyone staring at her. She noticed that everyone around her weren't moving either, she cocked her eyebrows and walked over to the lockers and saw that Alec and Original Cindy, although she hadn't really noticed that they weren't moving either, because she was opening her locker and throwing her stuff in. She turned to Original Cindy and saw that she and Alec were like that too. What is going on with everyone? Max thought to herself. She walked out from behind the lockers and saw that everyone else was in the same "frozen like" state. She walked along to find Logan standing there staring at her as well. She tried to shake him but couldn't wake him. Suddenly she found that everyone started to shake, almost like they were having seizures. Max started walking backwards away from everyone and turned to see White staring back at her. He leaned closer to her face, "I know your secret 452, and it's only a matter of time."….
Max woke with a sudden jolt, drenched in sweat; she threw back the sheets and sat up. It wasn't light outside yet, but Max got up out of bed anyway, wanting to forget her dream…or nightmare. She felt a sudden nauseous feeling creeping up into her throat; she walked into the bathroom to look at herself in the mirror. She had dark circles under her eyes and looked a little pale. It must have been the bad dream last night. Max thought to herself as the feeling kept creeping up into her mouth. She tried to swallow but it wouldn't stop, leaning over the sink, she let it all out. She started to feel faint and backed herself against the back bathroom wall and lowered herself down to the floor. I really miss Logan. I should give him a call. Max thought to herself as she felt her eyes well up.
When Max had finally come out of the bathroom, she went into the kitchen to grab some breakfast. O.C was standing at the counter making some coffee and turned to hear Max come into the room. There was also another woman in the room. Max sat down beside the woman and introduced herself, "Hi, I'm Max."
"Oh hi," The woman said, turning in surprise at Max's entrance, "I'm Connie. Nice to meet you."
"Nice meeting you too." Max said as she got up and grabbed and mug and poured herself some milk.
"You're having milk?" O.C questioned in surprise.
"Yeah, I just got the oddest craving for it." Max shrugged it off.
Jam Pony Messenger Service
Max and Original Cindy walked into work on time, heading over to their lockers. Alec had seen them come through the door and walked over, "Hey you two, what's going on?"
"What do you want Alec?" O.C sensed his attitude, knowing that he was only nice when he wanted something.
"Nothing, can't I be nice without motive?"
"No, we know you too well, Alec." Max laughed. Alec had a cross face, "Well nice to know." Walking away, Max and O.C both laughed out loud. O.C turned toward Max, "I think you have a visitor." Logan standing at the door, O.C nodded toward the door when Max looked at her, "Oh, all right, I'll join you in a few minutes." Max walked over to the door, holding eye contact with Logan the whole distance from her locker.
"Hi Logan." Max said, with a real urge to bear hug him, but knowing that was never possible, she turned her head away.
"Hi Max. Can we talk somewhere?" He asked as he looked in the direction Max was looking in, to find O.C and Alec staring at them from behind the lockers, but at the sight of Logan looking at them, they shot back around the lockers.
"Yeah, sure." Max answered turning back towards him. They walked outside Jam Pony and down the street, finding a bench a block later that they both sat down on.
"What did you want to talk about?" Max asked, staring deeply into Logan's eyes.
"I miss you Max," Logan took a deep breath, "I know that this virus keeps us from touching each other, but that doesn't mean we can't see each other does it?"
"I've missed you too Logan, and we can still see each other." Max answered.
"Well I've been thinking about us these past two days and…," Max felt a huge shiver creep up her back. She closed her eyes for a minute as her mind raced.
