REMEMBER: review!!! Loves!

Prudence was holding Max like the end of the world was nearing. Although, Max didn't seem to mind. From what seemed like forever, Pru let go. Max said " I'd better get working on my excuses not to get shipped anywhere." Pru just sighed and said

" Say you wanna go into the villages and rape little girls who look like me." Max let out a low chuckle. "See you soon, Pru." She let out a quivering breath and said " Bye."

He walked to the bathroom. Quickly had a shower and got dressed. He walked into the 'Whatever' Room, to see Lucy and Jude sharing a smoke.

Max said a quick goodbye, I'm going now. Lucy shed a tear, and shuffled out her seat and to Max, she said " Max, I love you, do anything you can to not get inducted," she said as she looked him deep in the eyes. Max said, " Luce, I'll try. I love you." He took a deep breath and said bye to Jude. "Bye" said Jude. "Hey, tell the rest of the gang I said bye." "okay said Lucy. He gave Lucy a hug and a kiss on the forehead, and disappeared out the door. Lucy stared at the door as if he were to walk back in any second. Jude took her hand and walked to into the kitchen and sat her down, and made coffee for the both of them. Lucy started to cry. Jude reacted as if it were no big deal.

"Luce, C'mon, it's fine." He said in a slightly snobby voice.

" I would lay down infront of a tank, if it would stop this war and bring Max home."

"Yeah? Well it wouldn't."

"What? You don't think that it's worth trying?"

"Luce, he might not even get inducted."

" He might." She said staring at the floor. She let out a quivering breath.

Meanwhile, Max drove his yellow taxi down to the centre. He reached the doors and stared momentarily, and walked in. He noticed that on the walls that there were Uncle Sam posters in every direction. Underneath the picture, it read: 'I Want You For U.S Army'. He walked down the halls in a daze. After about 20 minutes of testing, he was finally ready to meet the Lieutenant. All he asked Max was questions about whether he was flat footed and if he was homosexual. Of course Max was not homosexual. (Not that that should matter) and he did not have flat feet. He had forgotten about his plans to say he had spots on his lungs. (Cotton balls of course). They didn't even take a damn X-ray.

So, he was officially inducted into "Nam" as they call it.

Max arrived at home. Lucy had already jumped to her toes when she'd seen the doorknob turn. Max said " Hey, Luce… Bad news."

"Oh my God Max!"

"Yeah, I'm being shipped out in 2 weeks."

By that point Lucy had already started crying.

" Max, you can't leave. You just can't, after what happened to Daniel-"

"Luce, I gotta, this is a big opportunity, I just can't give up. I'm not scared or anything, I'll be fine. Daniel wasn't playing it safe."

" Max, I can't believe it. You better write to me and the gang every week, you hear me?"

" Yes, drill sergeant" He said jokingly. Lucy couldn't help but smile. Max gave her a big hug. "Get the gang ,and let's go eat." Lucy asked " Help me find Sadie and JoJo will ya?"

They started down the hall in silence. Jude was sound asleep in his room, Lucy'd waske him up last, and finally they found Sadie and JoJo. Max said " Hey, Sadie, Hey, Jo, ya wanna go eat now?"

" Yeah, sure Hon, wake up Pru."

"sure" As Max was making his way to find Pru, Lucy was in the process of getting Jude to get dressed. They went to "Katz Deli". The whole time they were there, Max had his eye on the waitress, her nametag read : Penny. When it became time to leave, Max, made his way over to her. He stood right in front of her and said, " Excuse me? My friend is a singer and she has a gig tomorrow night at Café Huh, and I was wondering if you wanted to go with me?" She just stared. "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Max."

She finally gave an answer " uh… Sure why not?" He smiled and said

" Okay, meet me there at eight?"

"sure" and that was that, he had a date with some girl named Penny, again, it wouldn't last long. He walked away with the gang. Prudence gave him a glare as if he burst into flames…she was shocked. And of course when they had gotten home, Pru climbed into bed with Max, like she did every night.
