Minutes later he arrived at Bobbys place. He didn´t even understand why he went there. Maybe because he felt that he needed to talk to someone. His friends. Every part of his body slowly walked up to the door and he knocked. The muffled sound from inside blasted defining when the door opened. Bobby stood there with a big toothy grin and squeezed a red solo cup in his hand. The smell of alcohol made Max squeezy.
"Maxboy you came!", laughed Bobby and pulled his purple glasses up to his buzzcut hair. "Everyone have been waiting for you!"
"What?", Max had no time to think when Bobby shoved in into the house and pressed a full plastic cup in his hands.
"Team 99 are like famous, or you are at least!", Bobby croaked and grabbed Max by the wrist
The crippling anxiety he had felt at house of mouse came back. No,no,no no he didn't want this. Max looked around and people stared at him with big grins. People he hadn´t seen sense higschool. They wanted to say hi, hand dunked his back, ruffled his hair. He was used to it on campus parties but not like this. Bobby led him to a coffee table and forced him up on it.
"Here we have him folks the man who put team 99 on the map of success and crushed team gamma like they were girl scout cookies!"
People cheered Max couldn´t too anything else then smile when Bobby began to shout Maximum. Like on the schoolground, when they had pranked a school assembly. He wished Roxanne could see him now. Right then and there. But she wouldn't. Maybe later... maybe. Max chugged the content of the cup and people screamed. Bobby and PJ joined him on the table. Put their arms around him. They sheered together with everyone else. It felt good, he was back in the game and he would say sorry to his dad. The party was awesome and the people who acted like he was famous together with the booze kept him in a good mood. Until he needed to go home.
Everything ended with Max sitting in the stair case and watching everyone have fun. Bobby had disappeared to the kitchen and he hadn't see PJ in a while. Maybe he should go home, but what if Goofy was there?
"Max, why do you send so gloomy vibes?"
He would recognize that raspy voice everywhere. Miss Mocca stood there with her hand on her hips and looking al sly with her beret and plump lips He gave her a big smile and accepted the embrace she offered him.
"Hi so glad to see you!", he said.
"Really Max?". she eyed him. "Trouble in Goof town?"
"Nothing I can't handle". Max murmured with a smile.
"Your eyes tells me another story", she sighed. "I wanted to surprise Max, have you seen him?
"You tell me… but he will be glad", Max scratched his head. "I have to go but have fun!"
"You know, whatever it is, you did a bad thing but you are not a bad person, okay?" Moccha kissed his cheek and patted him on the shoulder. "Bye"

He looked up at their house. The kitchen light was still on and that gave Max a bad feeling. Well he needed to face Goofy, sooner rather than later. He parked is skateboard on the porch and walked in. Thought about what Moccha had said. Bad choices did not define him.
"Hi dad"
When he didn´t hear a reply his stomach turned, nearly a 360. Silent Max continued into the house and peeked into the kitchen. Goofy sat by the table with a tea mug in his hand. Yet again Max had made his dad sad. And it felt awful to see that look on his face. His dad, Goofy was always so joyful.
"Dad, I'm so sorry..."
"Max", Goofys voice had never been that harsh. "I´m disappointed at you"
"I know but..."
"I have given you space, but whatever I do it's not good enough", Goofy looked direct at him with hurting eyes.
"But dad..."
"Did you even know what I wanted to talk about back at House of Mouse? I wasn´t going to embarrass you! I just wanted to tell everyone how proud I am over you, and how glad to spend this summer with you because... I miss you every woken hour you are at college",
Every syllable pierced Max and it got even worse when Goofy rose from the chair and walked passed Max. and took the first stpes up the stairs. Oh no., Max fought back the tears. He regretted everything he had said and done these weeks.
"Dad..."
"But I'll give you space, it feels like you are just like a high school kid again", Goofy looked back at Max one hand on the railway. "I hope you don't loose yourself at college, it's like we are strangers again"
That stung hard. "Well maybe it's better for me to just, travel back to campus"
"You do as you please, but I have a feeling you don´t even wanna be here with me and Sylvia"
"Dad", Max was a bundle of hurt, angry and sad.
"Good night Max"
Whit that Goofy was gone. Max could he a door close and now he was alone. Well okay if his dad didn´t wanna be around him. Fine. He had been serious about going back to campus. It was what maybe best because this felt beyond repair. He had destroyed his dad and he didn´t know how to fix this. Goofy didn´t even wanna hear a sorry. FINE.
Max rushed into his room and began to pack. Showed clothes and stuff into his bag with gritted teeth. But he stopped. His heart and brain caught up to him. What did he do? He could not leave like this even if he wanted to. He didn´t think clear. He would fix this, he had to. With a big sigh he threw everything on the floor again. No he could be better than this he had to.

Next morning. Before Goofy and Syliva had woken up. Max fixed their breakfast. The pancakes were not as fluffy as Goofy´s, they were a little soggy. He had burnet the bacon. But it was the thought that counted right? He turned on the radio, it was till no surprise powerline was on. With a little smile he heard some movements upstairs. Okay, now it was time to redeem himself. Footsteps heard on the stairs. And soon enough his old dad stood there with a baffled smile.
"Good morning dad, om so so sorry for yesterday! It won't happen again", blurted Max and was not late to hug his old man.
"Max, take it easy, it´s okay", Goofy said. "Sorry I was hard on you, I know you don´t like attention"
Well, he didn´t like wrong attention. "We are friends?"
"Garsh, just, keep your promise don't lose yourself alright?", Goofy hugged him again. "I Love you Max"
"I love you too"
