And we get to Max and Blaze!
Chapter 3: Hanging with Blaze
An hour later, Max walks around the Valley of Peace for a while to drop in on his dragon buddy Blaze to see what he's been up to and when he knocked on the door, Blaze immediately answered the door and saw his tiger friend come in and he said, "Maxim dude! What's happening?!"
Max laughs in response and they did their signature handshake/fist-bump explosion greeting before sharing a hug together and Max said, "How's it going?"
"Pretty good, dude. So...word around the valley is that your birthday is coming. How old will you be?" asked Blaze.
"I'm gonna be 12." Max answered.
"Really? I'm gonna be 14 in a few months." Blaze added.
The two-year age gap between the two friends didn't seem to become a problem for either one of them because they're kinda like brothers in a way in different species and both of them just laugh with each other and Blaze is much more excited about Max's birthday and said, "When is it?"
"In seven weeks." Max replied.
"Seven weeks? Man, why can't it come faster? I want to have fun on your birthday." Blaze said, whining.
Max became aware that Blaze is not so much a patient person and he does try to help him find patience, but sometimes Blaze wants things immediately and right this second, but Max would always keep him occupied in other things and he said, "You will. I wanted to tell you that you are invited to come."
That made Blaze whoop in joy and let out the most enthusiastic smile and said, "So excited!"
"Wanna hang out at the Jade Palace and see what the masters are up to?" asked Max.
Blaze immediately got down on all fours and signals Max to hop on and as he got on Blaze, the twosome made their way to the Jade Palace and Max wasn't sure how the palace masters, plus the Elemental Hazards will react when they find out how old Max is soon, but will not be surprised that he's getting older as he celebrates his upcoming 12th birthday for the last time with the palace masters.
Stick around for more awesomeness!
