A few days past, nothing really changed, except Max's health was improving more and more each day. Monk had an idea for all of then, it might be nice, she thought, going to Liore for a week and just relax and have fun. No military, no parents, just pure fun. Well so she thought.
She'd spoken it over with Ed and he thought it was a good idea, he didn't like the idea as much, but he'd rather not be on his own. Monk walked into the living room, where Max and al were sat, just talking. Monk walked in and looked at them "what do you think about going to liore for a few weeks, you know to relax? And everything…might be nice; we could all do with the break…" she said in one go, looking really happy. Al thought for a moment and nodded "that's a good idea…" he said smiling.
Max nodded "I haven't been to Liore since I was a kid…might be a change as well" she said smiling. Monk jumped up and shouted YAY! At the top of her voice. Max just laughed, al smiled it had been a while since she laughed like that, it was a genuine one.
Max sighed "when are we going then?" she asked, looking excited about it. Monk shrugged in reply she wasn't sure "as soon as possible we could go tomorrow…?" she said smiling, she was really excited, and she hadn't been on a vacation in a while.
Max nodded "yeah okay…I don't have anything planned and I don't think anyone else does…so that's good" she replied. Monk nodded, she wanted to scream with happiness but everyone would tell her to be quiet…
Max nodded and looked at monk "I need to get back…I need to pack my bags and sort out a few things…" she said, walking out the room and out the house. Monk sighed "do you think she'll be okay? She's been acting weird lately…I don't know she's been really out of it, like she's pretending to be happy…" monk said, looking worried. Al sighed and shook his head, he did notice but there was no point bringing it up, she wouldn't say "I'm sure she'll be fine…" he just had to reassure her, Max was strong, what ever it was she could handle it on her own…he thought…
Monk nodded and left as well, she just needed to tell her parents and pack her bags, it was going to be nice…hopefully…Ed had fallen asleep outside again….he was always falling asleep, in classes, pretty much every where..Silly Ed…
That day went slowly really, everyone just getting ready for liore, packing bags, all that. Everyone was excited.
The next day monk was running to Max's house, screaming, she really was excited! Her pink bag on her back, carrying her bunny teddy 'mochi' she was always carrying her around and talking to her. She didn't care what anyone thought, mochi was her friend, and she'd had her since she was a kid, and max had given it to her for her 5th birthday.
Monk ran to Max's house and knocked on the door, she didn't answer. Monk thought for a moment and put mochi on her head, so mochi could see the inside on the house "see anything mochi…?" she asked cutely, smiling. Monk took her off her head and looked at her, and put mochi to her ear, like mochi was telling her something. Monk nodded "oh…kay" she said smiling.
Monk walked over to the window and sat on the floor, holding mochi put to the window and making her sway "max…open the door, its cold brrr…" she said, making it look like mochi was talking.
Max looked over at the window and laughed, she knew it was monk. She picked up her black bag and walked out the house, locking the door. "Come on monk and you mochi…" she said smiling.
Monk laughed and patted mochi on the head "come on…were going to liore!" she said, screaming with excitement and making mochi do a little dance on Max's head.
Max laughed "come on…and you better keep mochi away from ed…you know he gets all moody and tries to take her of you…" she said. Monk cried slightly and hugged mochi tightly "the pipsqueak wont take you away…don't worry…" she said quietly. Max patted Monk on the head "I wont let him take mochi away…. don't worry, okay…?" she said softly, smiling.
Monk smiled and nodded running off to Ed and al's house, this vacation really was going to be fun, or so she thought.
