Recap:

"What about the kids at school?" George asked concern showing in his voice.

"I'll deal! And I really only have to go there two or three times a week so it won't be so bad." Max turned her head as the phone rang.

"I'll get it." she said reaching the phone before George could.

"Max Harper!" Max answered hoping it was not a reporter.

"Hello Maxi." A chipper voice came on the line.

"Talking" 'Thinking'

"Mokuba." Max said as more of an exclamation then an actual question.

"The one and only!" he said happiness obvious even over the phone.

"Did you need something Moukba?" Max asked trying not to sound as annoyed as the papers had already made her.

"I was just wondering..."

"Wondering what?" Max sighed at his pause.

"Well since the papers told everyone about you, I was wondering if you wanted to do something with Seto and me, since you don't have to lay low anymore!"

"Uhh, I don't know." Max said not really even wanting to be seen in public especially since her cover was blown.

"Ohh, but please it will be fun! 'I told you she wouldn't want to come!'" Max heard Kaiba's voice in the background and Mokuba blow a raspberry at his older brother. Max suppressed a laugh just imagining the look that Mokuba got from his older brother.

"Well, what did you have in mind?" She asked cautiously.

"Umm... hold on a second!" Max laughed and waited "Seto she is thinking about! What were we going to do? 'It was your idea in the first place Mokuba, you decide.'" Max smothered another laugh as she heard the conversation between brothers, since Mokuba obviously hadn't put her on hold. "Max, Are you still there?" Mokuba asked picking up the phone again.

"Yes."

"Okay! Seto said were going to an amusement park. 'Mokuba!'" Max heard Kaiba say warningly. "Okay it was my idea, but its Setos fault he made me decide."

"That's fine Mokuba!"

"Really? You'll come, for real?" Max sighed at his excitement "Seto she's going to come! 'That's great Mokuba, I'm happy for you!" Kaiba said motonously. Mokuba was, obviously doing a poor job of covering the receiver.

"Seto says he's happy that you're coming!" Mokuba said twisting his brother's words; Max heard an Kaiba sigh in the background and could only imagine the glare Mokuba was getting.

"Heh, okay! Where is the park and when did you want me to meet you there?" Max asked ignoring the dangerous flipping of Kaiba's words.

"Don't worry about that! We will pick you up at eight o' clock tonight! Okay?" Max sighed for the hundredth time and tried to keep from laughing.

"Alright Mokuba, I will see you then."

"Great, good-bye Maxi!"

"Bye Mokuba." Max hung up the phone when she heard a click on the other end. She sighed and turned to find George smiling at her.

"A date?" George asked grinning.

"Yeah with a thirteen year old!" Max said cocking her head sarcastically, George's grin just widened as he looked at her. Max sighed and rolled her eyes.

"I'm going to try and get some work done." Max looked at her watch it was one o' clock in the afternoon "Come get me in six hours, please? So I am able to get ready."

"Yes. No problem I'll come for you then." Max smiled at him and walked back up the stairs heading to her room where she kept all her work. She walked in and closed the door. Opening the lid to the case she kept the blue eyes model in, she picked it up and started to work on it fixing the electronics this time instead of the body. Max was rethinking putting these out for mass production, not really wanting something like this to be on the market for children, well at least not yet. She was making it with a limited A.I and hopefully minor speech capabilities if the tech she had designed was not too advanced for this subject. Hn, of course it wasn't! She did design it after all, why pride herself on perfection when a simple micro chip doesn't work?

Max looked up as a shadow fell over the piece she had been setting back in place.

"Miss Max?"

"Has it been six hours already?" Max looked up unbelievingly at the tall man.

"Yes Miss Max, it has." He said with a small smile, Max looked up at him sheepishly. "You really do get lost in your work don't you?"

"Heh, sorry! I'll be done in five minutes!" She said turning back to the almost completed dragon and put the finishing touches on the small metal beast. Standing at his full height he was maybe a foot and a half with a three foot wing span. Max was very proud of this creation. Nothing like him had ever been made successfully before, and maybe that is why she did not want to mass produce him.

"So when will he be ready?" George asked as she put her tools away.

"He is done now! But I don't want to produce him for the market just yet." Max said thoughtfully, knowing that George would understand.

"I figured you wouldn't!" George said with a chuckle.

"It's been more than five minutes hasn't it?" Max asked George still cleaning up her work area.

"It's been almost ten, it's seven twenty now." George said checking his watch.

"So what do I wear?" Max asked curiously "I've never been to an amusement park, though to be honest they don't sound very amusing to begin with." She sighed mulling that over.

"That's where I come in!" Kuina appeared in Max's doorway some clothes draped over her arms as she smiled kindly at Max. "I'll take it from here Mr. George!" Kuina sounded confident in her skills so George left the room closing the door behind him.

"Ok, what am I supposed to wear?" Max asked turning to Kuina she grinned and walked over to the closet.

"I'll worry about that Miss Max!" Kuina said flipping through the closet filled with mostly black clothes, a few colors poking through the black wall. She softly hummed to herself as she picked out a few things. Kuina turned to Max holding up a pair of midnight black pants that hugged the leg and a long sleeved black top that had a sliver butterfly on it wings spanning from one side of the chest to the other. Kuina picked up a pair of soft black boots that looked like someone had taken Peter Pan's and Jack Sparrow's boots and styled them together to make something new, to be honest they were actually good looking boots.

"Ok, now! When you put on the boots, put them on over the pants to give it an interesting look." Max looked thoughtfully over the clothes Kuina presented to her and nodded her head.

"Great, thanks! I really like this!" Max said giving her a small smile.

"Anytime Miss Max!" Kuina beamed with pride at Max's compliment "Anything else I can do?" Max shook your head.

"No, but thank you!" Kuina dipped her head setting the clothes on the bed and walked out closing the door behind her. Max sighed and walked over to the bed, thankfully she had taken a shower this morning so all she had to do was strip and put on the other set of clothes. Walking over to the mirror Max swiftly applied black eye liner and silver eye shadow, smearing some clear gloss on her lips she brushed out her shoulder length hair with her fingers and peered into the mirror checking her reflection for any obvious flaws. Max fingered a strand of blue hair before tucking it behind her ear in a bored motion.

"Anyway I can back out of this now?" Max asked herself heaving a sigh.

"Not easily." Max turned around to see George in the doorway smiling at her. She let a grin tug at the corner of her mouth. "They are here Miss Max."

"Okay, I will be down in a second." Max said giving George a tiny smile. He nodded politely and left the room, she crossed over to the desk and put the completed Dragon back in the briefcase and locked it. Max left her room a minute later, walking down the stairs Kaiba and Mokuba were standing there waiting. Looking up Mokuba spotted her and grinned happily. Max finished her walk down the stairs and Mokuba rushed up to her, wrapping her slim waist in a hug.

"Maxi, I'm so glad you could come!" Mokuba said grinning up at Max when he finally released her. "Come on let's go!" Mokuba said pulling Max to the door without even waiting for her to respond. She sighed and let herself be drug to the door.

"I will see you later George." Max softly called over her shoulder as she walked out the door Kaiba slightly in front and Mokuba still dragging her behind him. They walked off the porch and a few feet into the waiting limo. All theree of them slid in quickly and the driver pulled away at a signal from Kaiba. After a few minutes spent staring out the window Mokuba turned to Max still with his wide grin.

"Hey Maxi?"

"Hmm?" tearing her gaze off the landscape outside she turned to the boy.

"Guess what today is!" Max furrowed her brow in thought wondering if it was some kind of joke.

"It's Sunday October twenty-fifth. Why?" Max said staring into his happy purple eyes.

"It's more than that! That's why we are going out! Come on think!" Max took a deep breath and looked at the boy that was about to burst with contained happiness. Max's eyes flicked to Kaiba who was watching her, he frowned and turned away without offering her any help.
