Chapter 6
Max, Roxanne, Bobby and PJ were all at the airport, about to leave on the nearest plane to HD Resort. "Have a great time you guys!" Said Stacy as she hugged Bobby, Roxanne, and Max in order. "Don't fog up your karma at that pretentious palace babe; I'll be waiting for you my big sweet citrus fruit." Beret girl kissed PJ as he picked up his bag and began to follow Max and the others onto the plane. "Goodbye my sweet ticking-hourglass, I will return to you in due time!" Said PJ as he left. On the plane, Max, Roxanne, PJ, and Bobby took their seats and settled in. PJ and Bobby fell asleep simultaneously while Roxanne interrogated Max about the tickets.
"So, where DID you get them?"
"I told you already, some guy randomly came up to me and handed 'em to me!" Max said, smiling as he opened a pack of peanuts.
"Are you sure they weren't stolen or counterfeit?"
"Roxanne, I went to the police station and checked the tickets; they said they were perfectly paid for and real, so quit worrying!" Max put his arm around her.
"I don't know Max... I just have a bad feeling about this..." She leaned her head on his shoulder.
"Hey, this is gonna be great! We'll be on our own, no one to bug us, Bobby and PJ'll be out doing what they want, and we can do whatever WE want! No interruptions, no problems, no doting, smothering, protective, over-bearing-" Roxanne shot him a raised eyebrow and a look that said, "Watch your next few word choices boy."
"BUT very well-meaning parents." She smiled as she fell asleep on his shoulder. Max watched as they took off.
Once they had landed at the beautiful island, they were met and greeted by two tall dogs in black suits, "Your name please, good sir?"
"Max Goof."
The dogs in black looked at each other, and then quickly looked at the group of college-grads.
"Right this way, my friends."
The men dropped them off at the Heart Diamond hotel, which was the tallest thing any of them had ever seen. Once they made it to their suite, they settled in. It was an incredible suite, about triple the size of Max's college dorm, with a stereo, 50 inch plasma screen television, beautiful view from the 23rd floor, and a fully-stocked refrigerator.
"Whoa dude, nice plaaace!"
Bobby said, kicking his shoes off and jumping onto one of the four water beds.
"No kiddin'!" PJ leaned into the fridge, pulling out a slice of frozen pizza. "Ooh yeah, I think we're gonna like it here!"
Roxanne pushed her bed closer to the window and further from the boys' beds. "Hey Roxy, whadaya doin'? Don't ya like us?" Said Bobby, opening a can of Cheddar Whiz. "No, no, it's not that, I just want to see this amazing view every morning! Not to mention that the further away from your beds I am, the less temptation there is for you and PJ to forget you're with Stacy and Beret Girl! Bobby's jaw dropped,
"Okay, whatever."
"Hey, I think I left some bags in the limo guys, I'm goin' down there." Said Max, heading for the door. "I'll come too, those two look a bit... Jet-lagged." Roxanne giggled quietly as Max looked at his two best friends, dead-asleep, on the bed.
When they made it downstairs and had picked up what they had left behind, Max looked out the hotel lobby door and thought he saw a familiar figure outside. Max thought he was just being paranoid, as he followed Roxanne to the elevators. Then he heard a sound that he himself had made in the past, a sound that had been a part if him ever since he turned 13 and his voice broke.
"A-HYUK!"
Max did a lightning-fast 180 turn, and saw, "Hey Maxie!" His father, Goofy.
"Max! Wake up! C'mon you goofball wake up!" Said Roxanne as she and Goofy poured a bucket of water on Max's unconscious head. He had fainted, of course, at the sight of his dad and his fiancée. "D-dad?" Max said, getting up. "A-Hyuk! Yeah! Me an' Sylvia an' Pete an' Peg are all here too! Gawrsh son, what are ya doin' here?" Goofy said as his son shakily got back on his feet. "I could ask you the same thing, pop. How did you get the money to come here? There's no way Pete pays you THAT much at his car lot!"
"A-Hyuk! Petey over there is the reason we're over here! He got himself some extra tickets for Pistol and PJ but they couldn't come! So they decided to take us! A-Hyuk!"
"That's-... Just... Great dad." Said Max, irritably.
Max explained to his dad how he and the others had gotten there, even explaining the person who gave him the tickets. "Gawrsh Max, ya sure it was a good idea to come here? It is koinda suspissio- soospisi-, uh, strange!"
"Well what was I gonna do? Just throw them away? No way dad, these are really expensive."
"Alright, Alright, I'll let it go Maxie." Goofy smiled as they walked into the room across the hall from Max's. Max was bewildered; could Goofy ACTUALLY be leaving him alone? Any other time, he would jump for joy and dance the mambo... But for some reason, he didn't feel like that...
