BakurasLoyalServant: Well! We get to see the story from Max's eyes for a bit…XD
Duo: OMG… the little guy is SO weird.
BakurasLoyalServant: I'm gonna laugh when he kicks your ass later… WELL! Enjoy!
Max laid on the bed his Master had given him… he was still in shock from being actually bought… His Master was a strange man… he wouldn't hit him…. Wouldn't hurt him if he broke the rules… And Trowa, he was a weird pet; very different from what Max knew… Trowa actually talked. He wasn't afraid of being punished or anything like that… why? Was Trowa's Master really that kind? And…that weird Duo person….he was scary…too loud for Max to be near. He was a strange sort of person, with a long tail-like braid… Max would admit, he did like that braid…it was fun to smack it around, but not fun to hear the reaction. Master Heero though… he was very strange, one minute he was cold and separate, and the next he was warm and gentle… Why? He was so confusing. Max rolled onto his belly, staring at the pillow that his Master had given him.
"Max?" Master Heero's voice made Max sit up and turn around.
"Master?" Max looked at him, nervous; then remembered that he wasn't supposed to call him Master…Max gasped and began frantically apologizing for making a mistake.
Master Heero blinked at him, a small frown on his face, "Max."
Max fell silent; terror racing through him at the thought of punishment, Heero walked over and said softly, "Max, I'm not angry… If you'd rather call me Master, then go ahead…."
"B-but…" Max whispered, tears starting to form in his eyes, "Max sorry…"
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Heero sighed as Max started to get worked up, the Pet was easily upset and clearly easily confused…, "Max, calm down. I'm not going to hurt you." He walked over slowly, keeping his hands where Max could see them.
Max's emerald eyes widened and a soft whimper escaped him as Heero slowly came forward, Heero then kneeled down, saying quietly, "Max. I am not like that idiot man that you were forced to obey. My rules are very different from his."
Max shivered as Heero's hand started to pet his ears in a gentle, stroking motion. Heero studied the smaller creature calmly. He was thin, as though he'd been fed enough to keep him alive, but certainly not enough to keep him in excellent health…that would be easy to fix. He needed to move about, be able to play and have fun…also easy to remedy. Max's teeth were sharper than Trowa's, did that mean that Max was made differently than Trowa….? Why had the owner said that Max was a prototype when Quatre had gotten Trowa, who was also a wolf, two years ago? Heero sighed and looked up as Quatre walked cautiously in, "Heero? Is he okay?"
"I think so…" Heero said, glancing at Max, who'd fallen asleep, "Heh…Yeah, he is."
Quatre nodded, smiling, "Good… The poor thing… He must be very stressed because of these changes in his life."
"I think so too…. He was pretty upset because he thought I would hurt him for calling me Master…" Heero said softly, frowning.
Quatre looked surprised and alarmed, "What?! Why would a new Pet think that?! Pet's aren't supposed to be trained by anyone other than their owner!"
Heero frowned, "Apparently not… Max seemed terrified when I bought him too…"
Quatre scowled, annoyed, "Of course... Some Pet shop owners are known to pre-train Pets…. But to this degree…."
Heero looked up, worried, "Is it reversible?"
"Yes…difficult but possible." Quatre said, "It's awful the way he thinks that you'll hurt him… but he'll eventually get used to your form of punishments."
Heero nodded, watching his sleeping Pet, pleased that the damage afflicted by the shop owner was repairable.

Duo: *scowling* SOOO I'm the weird one huh?!
BakurasLoyalServant: Yep. Duo, you're the strangest one of the pilots that Max has met. Trowa doesn't count, since he doesn't remember ever being a pilot.
Duo: *blinks* Oh…yeah… Well, anyway!! PLEASE REVIEW, SHE'S GETTING INSPIRATION AN D MOTIVATION TO FINISH THIS WITH THEM!!
BakurasLoyalServant: And if anything's super confusing, lemme know! I will try to answer questions if it doesn't pertain to the story plot.
