Happy New Year's everyone! I know it's a holiday, but unfortunately I have to go back to school tomorrow so I wanted to get one more update done before my updates become once, maybe twice a week. I hope you like the second chapter as much as the first! 2013 here we come!

MAX'S POV

I live ten minutes closer to the coffee house so it doesn't surprise me when Lulu is five minutes late.

When I see her walk in, I stand up and flag her down holding up the coffee I bought her.

As she starts towards me I tap my finger on my watch, signaling that she's late.

"Hey, baby," I say hugging her.

"Hi ya, Darling," she replies sitting down.

"How are you?" I ask.

"I'm doing really well actually! You?"

"Like you don't know," I say smiling until I realize how jerkish that sounded.

Lulu just looked down at her coffee.

"Sorry, Lulu. That came out completely wrong," I apologize quickly.

She stifles a laugh, "Yeah, but we both know it's true."

Ouch.

I'm not gonna lie.

That kinda hurt.

Now it was my turn to stare at my coffee.

She clears her throat, "So, what did you want to talk about?"

"Do a duet with me for one of Kurt's videos."

"Okay, what do you have in mind?" she asks looking at me.

I open my mouth then close it.

Reopening it I say, "I got nothing."

She nods her head and stands up, "Then we have some work to do."

"Where are you going?" I ask her.

"We're going to need more coffee."

LULU'S POV

I was only five minutes late.

I was also only a LITTLE harsh.

Okay, so I was really harsh, even with my coffee.

When I got back with more coffee, I sat down asking, "So you have no idea what song we're covering or what the video is?"

"Correct," Max replies.

I nod my head again, "Great."

Max stands up, "Let's head back to my place to continue this terrible, terrible attempt at a thinking session."

I laugh, "Sounds good to me!"

"Hey, Mom! I'm back with Lulu!" Max screams.

I have to cover my ears just to keep from going deaf.

"Thanks, Darling. I appreciated that."

"Anytime, baby. Anytime," Max replies smiling.

Soon enough, Mrs. Schneider walks in and wraps me up in a hug.

"Hey, Lulu! How are you?"

"Good!" I reply.

"Well that's good! I'm glad to see you around here again!"

"I'm glad to be here," I say smiling.

"Lulu, let's go upstairs and get started on this project," Max says pulling me along behind him.

When we get upstairs, the first thing I do is plop on what is probably the MOST comfortable couch I have EVER had the privilage of sitting on.

"Make yourself at home, Lulu," Max says smiling at me.

I stick my tongue out at him.

"Okay," I begin, not sure how to go about this. "I have a question for you."

Max looks at me, "Shoot."

"Um... does this duet have anything to do with my duet with Daniel?"

His face says that I'm screwed.

Well, I thought I needed to know.

Now... not so much.

Once again, Happy New Year! Hope you liked this chapter even if it was EXTREMELY short! My next update will be within the week, and I hope to have my Kucy one-shot up within the next two. It all just depends on homework! Thanks for reading!
