Pairing: Max and Zack

Rated: pg-13 rating may change later on

A/N: Alec will play a big part in Max's life but only as a brother. (4 this fic) A really annoying brother. LOL

Breeding Partners? Hell no!

'Another crappy day at home sweet home,' Max thought sarcastically. She lay on her bunk, thinking up ways to piss the trainers off without actually get into trouble. 'Haha. Like I can do that. Trouble is my middle name. Or is it bitch? Hey, whatever works.'

"Lights out 452," the trainer said.

The lights go out.

'Finally. Some peace. Huh. Peace at Manticore. Maybe I am losing it.'

Max sat up in her bed when she heard someone approaching. The door to her cell grinded open and in walked…

"Ben?" she asked.

"What? My designation's 494. Who's Ben?" the guy asked. He looked around. "Nope. We're the only ones in this cell so unless you're talking to yourself which wouldn't surprise me, there's no one else here.

"494? I knew a 493. It's just that you look a lot like him." 'Damn, understatement of all time. They're friggin' identical,' Max thought.

"493? Oh ya. The psycho. Unfortunately for me, we were twinned," 494 said.

Fury mounted within her. No one calls her brother a psycho! "He just got a little confused. He was not a psycho!" she said defensively.

"Oh ya. Killed a bunch of people. Real confused," he said sarcastically. "Whatever. I'm not here to chit chat. We've been paired off as breeding partners. Take your clothes off." Takes off his shirt.

"Breeding partners! That's got to be the sickest thing I've ever heard in my life!" she yelled, disgusted. "Get out of my cell!"

"We've got our orders. You think I want to do this? Let's just do this and get it over with."

'Get it over with? I'll show him what I'll get over.' A catlike grin graced her lips. Right before she kicked him.

"What the hell! Are you nuts? What was that?" he demanded.

"The only way I'll EVER touch you, capish?" she said.

"Fine. It's not like I was jumping for joy when I learned I was in the breeding program, much less paired off with you." He stared at her. "Although I got to admit, you're pretty even for a Manticore soldier."

"Take a picture. It lasts longer. Oh, and you can take your compliment and shove it up your ass!" she shot at him.

"Whoa, whoa. Easy, tiger. You're a touchy little thing aren't you?" He grinned. "I got to admit though, it's nice to see someone with a little life in them now and then."

"Well now, do I have to kick you again to show you just how much life I have?" she asked sweetly.

"Uh, no thanks." He rubs at the spot where she kicked him. "Ouch."

"Suck it up. By the way, I'm not going to call you 494 all the time. It sounds stupid. How 'bout Alec?"

"Alec? He pondered for a moment. "Alright, that's not so bad."

"Good." She grinned wickedly. "'Cause my second choice was Dick."
