A/N: If you're able to spot the song reference in this chapter, good for you. Of course, I don't own any of it. Thank you to everyone who's been reading my story, I enjoy watching the number of hits go up every day. Reviews are still appreciated if you have anything to say. :) Sorry this chapter isn't that good. It's just a filler.

When Max woke up the next morning, he was both excited and exhausted. He'd spent the majority of the night before staring up at his ceiling, deep in thought. Which was something he'd never done before. But he had made an important decision, he was going to tell Penny that he loved her. Also something he'd never done before. Max stumbled out of his bedroom but before he could even reach the kitchen, Lucy grabbed his arm and pulled him aside.

"What is it Luce?"

"There's something I need to talk to you-"

"Penny's in the kitchen, right?"

"What? I... uh, yeah, she is. But Max-"

"Thanks Lucy!"

Max rushed off toward the kitchen, leaving Lucy standing there, shaking her head.

"Penny I really- Oh. Woah." He leaned against the doorway in the kitchen, now regretting that he hadn't stopped to listen to his sister.

"Maggie? Is that you?"

Grinning brightly, Maggie Mae jumped to her feet and pulled Max into a tight hug.

"Ah, it is so good to see you!"

Max awkwardly hugged her back.

"Uh, yeah. What are you doing here? I thought you had gone back home?"

"Well I did but I missed being here. And I missed you."

"Oh." Max didn't know what else to say. From her seat at the table, Penny scowled and took a long sip of her coffee. She didn't know much about Maggie but she already disliked her. Apparently she was one of Max's old girlfriends. They had broken up when Maggie decided she hated living in New York and moved back home. Penny thought Maggie was insane for leaving him. She had very little respect for the woman.

"Well Max, aren't you happy to see me?"

Penny glanced up at the two of them and nearly burst into giggles when she noticed how strained Max's smile was. She was pleased that Max obviously didn't like her as much as she liked him.

"Of course I am, Maggie. Of course I am."

Penny snickered which unfortunately did not go un-noticed. Maggie turned back to her and narrowed her eyes. Apparently, Maggie didn't like her either.

"Er.. Penny, was it? Would you mind giving us some time to talk?"

"No no, go right ahead."

"Alone."

"Right. I knew that."

She scrambled out of her chair, giving Max a sympathetic look as she hurried out of the room. She frowned as she slowly made her way to Jude and Lucy's room. Without knocking, Penny threw the door open and flopped down on the bed. Jude raised a brow and glanced down at her.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I hate her!"

"Uh, who?"

Penny glared at him.

"That... dirty, no good, robbing Maggie Mae!"

Jude sighed.

"Penny, she's really not the bad."

Penny scoffed and got to her feet, pacing the floor.

"No that bad? What, are you crazy? She's... UGH! You didn't see how she treated me. It's like I'm scum, or something."

Lucy placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Um, I'm not saying you're wrong, but maybe you're overreacting just a little."

"No Lucy, I'm not overreacting! I even made an effort to be nice to her even though I'd like to throw her in front of a car."

Jude and Lucy exchanged glances and they both sighed.

"Penny, I'm telling you, she's really not that bad. Give her a chance."

"Jude, I did give her a chance. She wouldn't even let me have a conversation with her."

"Well, maybe she's just as jealous of you as you are of her."

"Ha. Me? Jealous? I'm not jealous."

"Penny..."

"Fine, fine. I'm jealous. It's just not fair. She already gave up her chance with Max and now, she's ruining mine."

Lucy pulled her into a gentle hug.

"Penny, Maggie is no competition for you, trust me. When she left Max, he was thrilled. I don't think he liked her that much to begin with. You have nothing to worry about."

"Really?"

"Really."

Penny sighed and pulled back from the hug.

"If you say so. I'll be right back."

"Where are you going?"

"To uh, talk to Max. I can't stand knowing that Maggie's in there making him fall in love with her."

Jude made a move to hold her back but Penny quickly darted out the door. She paused outside the kitchen, trying to think of what she was going to say. She leaned against the wall and tried not to listen to Max and Maggie's conversation, deciding it was probably best to just wait until they were done talking. However, what she heard surprised her.
