To my wonderful reviewers! I don't know where I would be without all of you. All of your encouragement has made me want to write everyday! I'm sorry that all of my stories take me so long, but I've just been so active! I got a job where my boss has me closing all the time and I'm going to be doing drivers training this summer along with stuff for basketball. BUT DON'T WORRY! I will never abandon a fic! I will finish every single one, even if it takes me FOREVER!

Priscilla- I'm sorry it took so long! I just got a job and I had exams last week, but now school is out so I'll be able to work on it more!
Red-rumm- Well, you don't have to wait any longer! Here's the 'war'!
The war didn't start right away; it never does. It takes planning, evil planning. Max and I were always on the same team. See the whole 'war' thing happens every year and it's all Izzy's fault.
We were about 8 when we started the ritual. The four of us would go on a picnic and just hang out together. Well, Iz thought it would be hilarious to pull my pants down. Tess and Iz laughed while I was too embarrassed. I ran off on my own, crying my eyes out. Max followed me and told me a plan to get them back...
And we still use the same one everytime...
"So, Max. Just give me the signal and we'll get this thing started," I whispered. He gave me a nod and we turned to face Iz and Tess. Micheal, Kyle, Alex, and Liz watched on, amused.
I pretended to talk into Max's ear, like I was telling him what to say. All I really was doing was saying 'psssssss'. He nodded every once in a while and then I pulled pack. "Well, seems as though she only wants an apology this year."
They looked skeptical. Tess spoke up. "I don't think so. She's not that nice." Is nodded.
Max looked at me and then I went back to whispering, this time for real. "Just go with it. I'll do the face, you go get the stuff."
"Fine, then. You two don't need to apologise. She'll get over it," Max said, trying to guilt them, and walked off.
"Wow. That was easy," Tess smirked.
"A little too easy, if you ask me," Isabel replied and I just shrugged and put on my puppy dog face. "OH, NO! That's not fair, Maria Rose DeLuca! You can't pull that crap!"
"You're not allowed to do that, Ria! It's against the rules!" Tess threw in, but I continued.
"What the hell is going on?" Kyle asked, sounding not only curious, but confused.
"Yeah, I'd like to know, too," Alex agreed. I never looked at either of them, but back and forth between Iz and Tess.
And neither one was budging. So they wanna play dirty, huh? Time to pull out the big guns. I did what any other girl who wanted her way bad enough did, and stuck out my bottom lip, making it quiver slightly.
"Awwww!" the two of them caved, as I knew they would, and started to walk over. Max came to me first, and handed me something behind my back. I had trouble, but I contained my evil grin and kept the puppy face.
They were almost to me when Iz said, "group hug!"
Max joined the three of us in a hug. Iz and Tess closed their eyes and I looked at Max. My evil grin came as I mouthed, 'one, two, three!' I took the water balloon that Max handed me and broke it on Isabel's head as Max did the same to Tess.
We broke free of the hug and started to jump and dance around, being stupid basically. Ever since we were kids, we would taunt them when we won. Such as, "you really fell for it! M & M for life! ME and MD rule!"
And so it started, as it always did. They would pants me and Max and I would seek revenge. We were always a team, Max and I. He was the big brother I never had.
I jumped on his back and we ran around them in circles. Max was laughing as I jeered at them. "We fooled you, we fooled you! Ha ha haha ha!" They just stood there and took it; they knew they would do something back and so did we, but we didn't care! We were just living in the moment, and what a moment it was.
He finally set me down, but we kept our goofy grins on. I looked at him. "Time for our cheer?"
He nodded and we jumped into action (AN: imagine Craig and Arianna in SNL! I love Will Ferrell!). "Whose that girl that got all wet? It's Iz, it's Tess! Said, whose that girl that got all wet? It's Iz, it's Tess!" Max and I said together.
Then I went, "Whose that guy that brought them down!"
And Max said, "It's me! It's me! Whose that girl that brought them down!"
I replied, "It's me! It's me!"
Together, "Uh huh, uh huh. Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh! Crazy Wet Girls! WHOOO!" (AN: For those who watch SNL, Can't you just picture that! lol I sure can!)
We jumped around a bit more, when I suddenly realised that the others were looking at us weird. I got a little self-conscious and we stopped. "Sorry. We got a little carried away there," I said, slightly embarrassed, and we went to sit down.
"Pay back's a bitch, and I hope that you know that, my dear brother and best friend," Isabel said as she wrung out her hair.
"Well, how many times have you heard that one, Maxie!" I asked, sarcastically.
"Oh... give or take... A million times?" He asked, trying to sound dense.
"Oh, you're wrong! This would be a million and one! Remember that one time with the thing and the-"
"OH YEAH! The thing with the people and that place. Right!" he joked and Iz rolled her eyes while we all laughed.
"Whatever, you two. Just don't say I didn't warn you!"
We all started eating and sat in a comfortable silence. I was really happy just being here with all my friends. I was thinking, while in the silence, that for however long we had been there, I hadn't thought about Billy and Courtney once... until now... GREAT! Why'd I go and do that! Now I won't be able to-
"Ria! Are you listening?" Micheal shook my shoulder and I looked over at him.
"Did you say something to me?"
He just shook his head. "Nah, not really. You just looked like you were in a daze and I was trying to see what you were thinking about," he replied, pulling me to sit in his lap.
I looked around to see that couples were off alone again, and it was just me and Micheal. I looked back at him and pulled him down for a quick, but passionate, kiss. "I was thinking of how perfect today has been."
"Even though you got pants'd?" he joked.
I laughed and replied, "it wouldn't of been the same if I didn't get pants'd! It happens every year!"
"Oh! Well, in that case, I guess today was perfect, huh?" he leaned in and just as I thought he was going to kiss me, he kissed my neck. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about it, but I want him to kiss me!
"Well, the days not over," I bit back a moan as he bit down on my pulse point. "Oh, boy... The things you do to me!" I sighed, happily, and leaned back into him.
He laughed against my neck and then pulled back so he could see my face. "You have no idea! The things you do to me and my poor little heart! I think it's gonna burst!" I looked at him strangely and he just took my hand. He placed it against his chest, or his heart rather. It was racing. "Only you get my heart going like that, Maria. Nobody's ever made me feel this way before."
I smiled and kissed his jaw, placing my head on his shoulder. "Me either, Micheal, but I sure could get used to this."
He kissed my forehead and we sat there, content just to be in each other's arms.
Awww! I love candy! And I love writing this fic because I can make them do whateverI want! Muhahaha! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW!
