Last time: Max fell into a coma because of an accident that happened during an aftershock. 2 months and some days after he wakes up. They planned a surprise party form Max, both for waking up and for his birthday.

Max's POV

I remember waking up in a white room.

"What? Where am I?" I said. I couldn't talk loud. I thought I was alone or maybe even dead when I felt someone hugging me. I only saw a turquoise fluff hugging me. It was Nikki.

"Oh Max! I'm glad you're ok." She said. Then I felt another hug, Gwen. Then David and Neil. I was being hugged.

"Where am I? Why am I here?"

"Well Max, you were injured during an aftershock. But, you saved Nikki at least."

"Oh yeah? Great." I looked to a window. "Shit! I had to take care of Mr. Bubblyshit today."

"Ummm... Max. Mr bubblyshit is dead." Said Gwen.

"What?! Dead? Since when? Yesterday I saw him and he was swimming happily!"

"Max... you didn't see him yesterday."

"What do you mean? Wait. How long have I been here?"

"Max, I know this could be hard to process but.." Neil said. "You have been sleeping for almost 3 months. You were in a coma."

"Holy shit! You serious?!" I couldn't have been in a coma. Just yesterday I was fine. But... was it really yesterday. "What month are we in?"

"Max, today's your birthday." Said Gwen

"Holy fucking shit!"

"Max! Language!" David.

"Come on Max, let's get out of here." Said Gwen. Gwen and David made some paperwork and then we left. Nikki gave me my phone. Holy shit! They were right. I don't remember being in a coma. Anyways, they told me everything that happened while I slept (not much really) then we got some ice cream. We went back home but Nikki and Neil were still with us. Oh, I get it. Surprise party, right? Man, sucks to ruin their surprise but I guess I'm too damn smart. We entered the house and the moment I got in I heard a big shout.

"SURPRISE!"

"Oh wow, I surely am surprised." I said. Everyone laughed, they said they were happy to have me back and that I was the same Max they remembered. Ered and Dolph walked towards me.

"Max, I guess I'll tell you know, Dolph and I are dating."

"JESUS CHRIST ERED!" She thought I was surprised. She was happy to see my reaction. "I was gone for 2 months not 2 years dammit. I knew you were together. You told me on your mansion just after you ki-" She put her hands on my mouth.

"AHAHAHAHAHA! SHUT UP MAX." Guess she didn't want Dolph to know. Tabii came.

"Neil and I had a baby."

"Yeah, sure. And Preston is now heterosexual, you can't fool me Tabii whit one eye." I laughed. Next came Nurf.

"Hey Max, happy birthday, and welcome back." Well, at least he didn't try to fool me. "Also, you DO know Nikki spent a lot of time watching you at the Hospital?"

"Really? How cute."

"Nurf, I told you to shut up!" Nurf just laughed. After that Nerris and Harrison came together.

"Hey Max, we got you a gift." They handed over two entrances for an elegant restaurant.

"Oh thank you. But why two?"

"Don't tell me you also have amnesia. One for you, one for Nikki."

"Yeah, I know. But each ticket is for two people."

"Oh." Their faces went red.

"Guess it will be a double date then." I said giving them the spare one.

The party just kept going. I was having a good time. Everyone was chatting and laughing. This was nice. I felt someone kissing my cheek. I turned that way and saw two purple eyes and a turquoise fluff looking at me. Nikki again. She was smiling. I kissed her back. And her smile grew bigger.

"I really missed you." She said. I just kissed her again. I didn't really miss her that much, since my coma passed without me noticing. It was as if I saw her yesterday. Out of nowhere David stood up.

"May I have your attention please?" Everyone sat down and stopped talking. "I want to give my gift for Max in front of everyone." He pulled out some keys out of his pockets and gave them to me.

"Keys?"

"Well, partially. This are the keys for small house Gwen and I decided to buy for you."

"Wait, are we rich now? How did you afford the house?!"

"Well, Gwen and I planned to give it to you on your 18th birthday. We were saving money since you were 13 and we bought it while you... well... slept. And we also got you a job at one of the stores from the chain your mom supervises."

"Guys... I... I don't know what to say... Thanks!" I hugged them.

"Also, we got your car back. I told you it was worth it to put such an expensive insurance."

"Well, I guess so." The rest of the party went perfectly and everyone was happy. I noticed how Nikki wasn't too happy.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Oh, it's just that... well... I didn't get you an actual gift, and well, I'm sorry I co-"

"Nikki, don't be sorry. You being here for me is the best I could ever get" I stopped. "Now that I think about it, how about you go live with me? Just us two. I mean, according to Google Maps it is really close to school." And it was. Usually I would make a 45 min trip just to get there. Neil took her to school so maybe she didn't notice.

"W-Well, if that would make you happy."

"It would. A lot." She smiled before launching towards me. I caught her and was holding her over that floor. We just kissed.

"Awww..." Everyone said. I just faced the back of my hand to them while only lifting my middle finger. Everyone laughed. We shared some more time together before everyone went home. This had been a nice birthday. I had to admit it.
