"Max?" Fang looked hopefully at the wall before him. There was no answer. "Max? Are you there?"

The sound of crickets and the small trickle of the stream answered him. But there was no Max.

He stood and scratched his head. Didn't Max promise to be there? Didn't she?

A horrible realization began to dawn on him. What of something happened to her? Was she hurt? Something certainly -

"F-Fang?" He lifted his head with a gulp.

"Max." He said with relief. "I thought...you're late."

Fang could practically feel her smile. "I know. Jeb wouldn't let me out yet."

"Are you okay?" He asked nervously. "I was...scared."

"Why?"

"Don't break your promise." He said changing the subject. "I don't like liars."

There was a moment of silence then he heard her laugh. "You're silly."

"You laughed and it makes me happy," he grinned proudly.

"You always make me laugh, Fang." Her tone softened when she said his name. "Where's Total?"

"Total?" He repeated. "At home."

"When will you bring him again?"

"I promise I will next time."


[A/N] There have been a few requests to making the chapters longer...but it's a story told in drabbles. Meaning that it's from about 100-500 words long. And if I were to make the chapters longer, I'd panic and not know what to do. And I sort of like it cute and innocent. So it's alright if you don't want to read it anymore. Well, the reviews really make me happy. Ten reviews? Thanks guys! I got the idea from one of my favorite songs actually. Although now that I think about it, The Boy in Striped Pajamas does seem familiar. Wow...long note...bye!
