Chapter 2: Confessions and Stuff

(Max's POV) Friday

BRRRRIIINNG! Stupid alarm clock... *yawn* "Wonder what's for breakfast," I mumble to myself. Today's the day I confess my feelings for Zoe. Maybe she's at the D-Lab. On my way there, I see Rex and Halo hanging out together and talking. Are they on a date? Nah. Although it would seem that he's developing a crush on her. Hmm... Hey, wait, am I being... analytical?!

" Hey, Reese. Have you seen Zoe?"

"As a matter of fact, I haven't. Strange." she said, "Isn't she with Halo? You know that you never see one without the other."

"Nah. Halo's with Rex." I reply. "Oh, well. Thanks, Reese."

"No problem, Max."

Maybe she went to the park with Paris. So that's where I went.

(Zoe's POV)

"*sigh* Halo's off with Rex. Max is doing whatever he's doing. And me? I'm alone. But don't worry about me, Paris, everything will okay." I tell myself that I'm talking to Paris, but I'm really not. I'm trying to convince myself that everything will be okay in my love life (which, by the way, doesn't exist)... but I'm not so sure.

"Everything will be okay, Zoe. Uh, no clue what you're talking about, though."

"Huh?" I say looking up from my thoughts. Oh. It's Max. Duh, who else makes bone-headed comments like that… a shame since he really is cute though.

"Well, I uh... I-I've been thinking..." he began.

"About what?" I say impatiently. I swear, if he starts to say something then says nothing at all... "Spit it out!"

"Doyouwannagoonadatewithme?" Well, he spat it out, not literally of course.

"Whoa, there! Slow down! I can't understand what you're saying!" I yell at him.

"*blush* Do you want to go on a date with me?" he slowly says. Wow… just wow.

"*blush* Oh... um, ok *giggle*" Wow. Did not see that coming.

"Tomorrow at 7:00 then?" he asks.

I see nothing wrong with 7:00, so I say, "Sure. Sounds great!" Now to test him. Don't worry, it's a simple one. Just to see if he can be *air quotes* "considerate." "Shall I bring Paris?" I ask. I see gears turning in that head of his for once.

"OK, I'll bring Chomp then!" he says.

"See you then"

"Bye." He leaves with a big grin on his face, fist-pumping the air, and I . This will be tomorrow's newspaper headline. "DOOFUS ASKS OUT GIRL." Paris says I imagine too much.

(Max's POV) Night before the Date

As I sit here drawing, thinking about the date tomorrow, night. SLAM! The door goes flying open after my dad barges through it.

"HIYA, son! What'cha doin'?" my dad yells.

"Um, um, nothing!" I say, trying to cover up my drawings (they're all of Zoe).

My dad smiles and replies, "I know that look! Who is she?"

"*sigh* Zoe," I grudgingly say. Dad's jaw falls open. "You don't have to look so surprised," I grumble at him. Honestly, the way he Oh, by the way, the date's tomorrow." Dad's jaw is now on the floor. "Can you pick up your jaw, please? It's drooling everywhere. Thank you. Now, if you'll excuse me!" I say, pushing him out the room.

(Zoe's POV) Day of the Date

C'mon, hurry up! Stupid clock takes forever!

One of my *air quotes* friends, Jamiil says, "Hey! Hey Zoe!"

"Yeah?"

"You got a boyfriend yet?" she asks. In my business as usual, I think.

"Meh. You?" I say to infuriate her.

Sure enough, "Yeah, I do. Sucks that you don't, though." She fake-sighs. School couldn't come and go any faster. "Time to get ready Paris!" I say.

(Max's POV) Time of the Date

"What to wear?! Ahhhh!" I'm so flipping out. I didn't pick out anything to wear! "Rowr! Arf! Rrr!" For some reason, Chomp keeps barking at me. Better go see what he wants... "So what's up, Chomp?" I ask. The idiot runs away! "Ah! Hey! Come back! Stupid Triceratops...nngh..." Half an hour later, I'm still chasing after him in the woods, until he leads me into an old cave. "Chomp, uh, where are we?" He's leading me through this entire cave system not even Minecraft could've generated. Just then I saw an epic red tux, with a smaller (Chomp-sized) orange tux. "Whoa, are these for us?"

"Yes, and you owe someone a big thank you, ya know!" someone said.

"DAD?! Is that you?!" I yell.

"Yes. Yes, it is."

"Don't you have something to say, Max?"

"Mom?! You're in on this too!?" I exclaim.

"Yes. Yes, I am." she replies. This just gets weirder by the minute.

"Well... um, what are you guys doing here anyways?" I ask.

"Your father and I wanted to make sure you looked presentable on your first date. Wouldn't wanna make a fool out of yourself in front of Zoe, now would you?" my mom said, winking at me. Dad laughed and said, "So, kid whaddya have planned for her?"

"Well I was thinking…" I begin.

Weeeeell, how was it? I couldn't remember how Max's dad acts, I haven't watched the show in a year :P. Reviews are very welcome u guys. Also, I won't start any other stories till I finish one... but that's subject to change :P
