After Max met with a dragon, he goes on total hush-hush mode and keep it hidden from everyone...including his brothers. And that's where something unexpected happens.

Chapter 7: Cavern Story

That night, Max was laying on his bed just thinking about that situation with the dragon and it seemed as though he was wondering why he's living in a cave all by himself and for some reason...he seems to have some sort of connection on what it really means to feel alone in the world because he used to feel the exact same way after his birth parents didn't want anything to do with him in his early childhood years and again at the orphanage. Could it be the fact that he sees himself in that dragon?

More importantly, how will he tell this to everyone else? If they found out that Max had befriended a dragon, the reaction would be completely catastrophic and would embed itself into a full-fledged chaos that may result in them saying that dragons are dangerous and all around monsters...which at times is true...but Max is starting to question why anyone would judge someone so quickly if they don't know who they really are and who could be considered friend of foe.

The best thing he could do is just keep it to himself until he feels like he's ready to tell them and it's the very first time that he can keep something so secretive when he's always one to be an open book about everything. That part he's always used to and with this one, it's just better to keep it to himself.

Just then, he sees Logan and Tae Kwan Do walk in the room and Max sat up for a second and Tae Kwan said, "You okay, Max?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Max replied.

"Yeah...you seemed quiet after we finished playing hide and seek. That's kinda weird because usually you'd talk and talk until we reach home. Logan enjoyed the quiet, but I had a feeling that something was up. Wanna talk about it?" asked Tae Kwan.

"Nah, I'm fine." Max replied.

"Fine with us. I personally like the quiet Max because he can't annoy me any further." Logan retorted.

Max tilted his head in confusion and rolled his eyes in response that and he said, "You're such a dork, Logan."

"There it is." Logan stated, smugly.

Tae Kwan assumed that because Max got older, so did they and just got into this 'left out when older' syndrome and he walked towards him and said, "Is this has something to do with us being busy all the time?"

"Sometimes." Max replied.

Tae Kwan sighed heavily at this and he said, "Look, if you felt that way, we're sorry. I know that we all used to hang out with each other and since the panda cubs were born, we've been kinda neglecting you a little. Tell you what; how about we hang out at our MMA class tomorrow? Maybe reconnect a little bit, huh?"

Max would really like that very much...yet he does want to get to know the dragon a little better and that would mean a conflicted overload commitment phobia to that and said, "Sure."

"Awesome. Class starts at like 3:00 or 4:00...so think you can join us?" asked Tae Kwan.

"I'd love to." Max replied.

"Awesome, dude." Tae Kwan said, happily.

Logan was pretty much mortified that Max is gonna tag along for this whole thing and feared that he'll embarrass his reputation in person and as they walked out of the room, Logan said, "You do know we're gonna be screwed, right? Max might destroy my reputation here!"

"Calm down, Logan. You barely have a reputation so what are you talking about?" asked Tae Kwan.

"Because I'm the cool dude and nobody wants to see the cool dude have a soft side. It's like a weakness." Logan answered.

Tae Kwan rolled his eyes and gave Logan a headlock and said, "You've been hanging around Tigress too long."

Meanwhile, Max was laying back down his bed and on one hand, he feels happy that he's getting a chance to see what the kickbox class is like and maybe learn a few things and spend time with his brothers a little. However, he does want to see that dragon again and get to know him a little better and he intends to do just that in the morning. Hopefully, no one will know about it and he'll make time to head to that MMA class for a visit.

Very awesome idea to have Max join his brothers at the MMA class. So...how does that work out? Max can see the dragon in the morning and make it to MMA class that afternoon. Let's see how that idea goes!
