Twenty Six:
Narrator's P.O.V.
For the next few days, Scratchansniff slowly made progress with Max. She hadn't been talking much, but whenever she wanted to share something, she would
write it down for Scratchansniff to see. Scratchansniff was getting really worried, and he wasn't the only one. The Warners and Alyssa had noticed something
wasn't totally right with Max. But every time they tried to ask her, she would just blow them off or tell them she was fine. She wasn't even her zany self anymore.
All she did was lay around the water tower, and sometimes the Warners found her curled up in a ball on the couch crying. Eventually it became so frustrating that
one day they all decided that they needed to talk to Scratchansniff about what was happening. So Alyssa decided to take Max out for the day while the Warners
went to go talk to Scratchansniff. They popped into his office scaring him and knocking him off his feet. ''Hi ya Scratchy!'' said Yakko as they all jumped into his lap
and gave him a big kiss. ''The Warners?' whatz are youz kidz doing here?'' They jumped off him and onto the couch. ''What do you know about Max?'' ''Whatz do
youz means?'' The Warners sighed.''She hasn't been acting like herself lately''.

Max's P.O.V.
''You wanna tell me what's going on?'' I sighed. Somehow Alyssa had found a way and dragged me out of the tower and taken me out for the day. She had taken
me to a little restaurant not to far from the studio, for lunch and now was trying to get an answer out of me. None of them knew about the nightmares I'd been
having. Scratchansniff was the only one that knew. And I wanted to keep it that way. I wasn't trying to hide anything, I just wanted to protect them. ''This is what
happens when you mess with me''. And I swore I was going to keep them away. ''Mind if we join you?'' I turned around and saw the Warners. Great. Yakko pulled
up a chair next to me and gave me a little peck on the cheek. ''Something you wanna tell me?'' I shrugged as I slumped my shoulders. The Warners and Alyssa
looked at each other. I didn't care they could think whatever they wanted. They weren't going to get me to tell.
…
About an hour later we walked back to the studio and I ran to see Scratchansniff. I didn't care that the others were looking at me, it just made me run faster to
ignore their stares. I ran into the office and sat on the couch. Scratchansniff looked at me strangely. ''Is theres somethingz wrongs''. I tried to talk as I caught my
breath. ''N-no I-i just ran here that's all''. ''Whyz did youz runs here?'' ''The Warners and Alyssa were starting to get on my nerves and I wanted to get away from
them''. Scratchansniff sighed. ''Max I relays thinks you needs to tell themz''. ''But I'm trying to…'' ''Hey don't shove!'' Suddenly we heard whispers coming from
behind the door. ''Gee I wonder who that could be…'' I reached for the doorknob and opened the door. and Ayssa and the Warners came tumbling onto the floor. I
folded my arms and stared at them. ''Really? you don't even let me have a private conversation anymore?'' Alyssa brushed herself off and walked towards me. ''Max
we..'' ''I don't want to hear it! can't you just leave me alone?!'' Now it was Yakko's turn. ''Whoa Max let's not get..'' ''Don't you Max me, I just wanna talk privately
to Scratchansniff is that to much to ask?'' ''But Max you can talk to us to and haven't lately''. ''Well maybe I just…'' ''Enoughz!'' Scratchansniff silenced us. I glared
at Yakko. Sometimes he just didn't know when to stop. ''Nows then what's the problem heres?'' ''You know the problem Scratchy''. ''Not youz Max with these
four''. ''Oh''. The Warners and Alyssa then explained, all that was happening with me, and I was about to argue when Wakko put a censored sticker over my
mouth. Scratchansniff just nodded his head the whole time looking at me. Oh great now's he's got more to worry about. ''I sees what is happenings heres''. This
was finally when I was able to pull the censored sticker off my mouth. ''Max would you excuse us for a minute?'' I nodded my head but I glared at the Warners and
Alyssa. ''This isn't over''. I slowly walked out of the office. Why couldn't they just understand I was trying to protect them? That's when I wished I wasn't keeping it
all a secret.

Narrator's P.O.V.
''The answers youz is looking for is quite simplez'' said Scratchansniff to the Warners and Alyssa. It's not like they wanted to sneak in on their private
conversantion, they just wanted to know what Max was hiding. And if she wasn't going to them, Then listening in was the only other way. ''Well? what is it? we'll
try anything'' said Alyssa sounding desperate. Wakko reached for her hand and patted it and she thanked him with a smile. ''Wellz I'ams thinking that you need to
try and gets Max to somethings she's likes''. The Warners could think of only one thing. ''Road trip!'' they grabbed Alyssa hand and they ran out of the office. ''Hey!
where are we going?'' ''Were going to you some more toon lessons and get Max back in the game''.
