Mako's Message: Okay, first of all, that thing I talked about in the mako's-message-that-is-no-longer-there? Mission Successful. I want to thank everyone for their support and I'm going to try and find some way to thank everyone. Perhaps an extra bonus chapter? (The bonus has been doubled! -is smacked- ...yeah, i deserved that.)

Anyway, sorry this is so short, but I think the content will more than please a lot of you.


Dave kissed me. He actually kissed me.

We were standing there, and then he puts his hand under my chin and leans in and kisses me.

It was awesome.

Sure, it wasn't like there was tongue involved, and it was too quick and I was too surprised to kiss him back, but he kissed me. On the lips. On his own. On New Years Eve.

That counts for something.

And even though it was a few seconds after midnight I'm still counting it as a completed New Year Resolution.

He got all cute and blushy about it afterwards too. Well, he was probably blushing. I couldn't really tell since he was wearing his mask. He even tried to threaten to kick my ass if I told anyone. So fucking cute. Not like I'd tell anyone anyway. Last thing either of us need is a repeat of what happened at the start of school.

It could have been the best night of my life.

But then that motherfucker had to go and ruin it.

I don't know if something went wrong with his detonator, or if he was just fucking with us on purpose, but maybe ten seconds after the ball dropped, just when we were startiong think he wasn't going to be attacking Times Square, the fucking ball exploded.

It wasn't a normal explosion either. It was a cluster bomb that sent a bunch of fireballs raining down on the crowd. Some exploded in mid air, sending even more fireballs into the crowd, some didn't blow until they hit the ground, and some where just flaming balls of crap.

Chaos ensued, of course, and some people started rioting, but I don't think any of them were Cunts. Didn't have the same level of crazy. Less "Yeah! Let's fuck people up!" and more "Woo! Let's break shit!"

That and most of them surrendered or ran when I, or any of the other members of Justice Forever+2, approached them. The cops weren't so lucky that way. I think it actually made a few of them resentful. Not my fault they respect my asskicking ability more than your bage.

Ah well. Dave still kissed me.
