i read stuff like this.
"“So… you made this?” I asked, seeing how embarrassed he was at the fact that he made a flower, of all things.
“Maybe,” he said back.
I wanted to laugh, but I thought he might take it the wrong way if I did.
Wow, Mr. Raincloud made Maximum a flower. That’s adorable. See what happens when you lighten up for the holidays?
Shut up, I told the Voice.
It always had the most convenient timing…
You know, it kind of reminds me of you. I bet Fang agrees with me.
What are you talking about?
Don’t play dumb, Max, I’m talking about the flower. It’s… stealthy… It’s unconventional. It was made for a good reason. It’s a bit rough around the edges, but that’s what makes it perfect. It’s not like other flowers, but it’s still beautiful, nonetheless. It’s still a flower. Just like you, Maximum.
Are you trying to make me barf?
I faintly heard Fang trying to say something, but I held a hand up, telling him to wait.
Someone doesn’t know how to take a compliment.
I don’t want your compliments, and I don’t want you in my head.
Well, that’s just too bad, on both accounts. Now, thank the boy for the Max-flower before he flies away and beats his head against a tree.
The- the Max-flower? You’re nuts!
Probably. At least, that’s how I acted at the Itex office Christmas party. Man, that party was a killer.
The Voice went to the Itex office Christmas party?
Wait, Itex had an office Christmas party?
This is too much.
Happy New Year’s Eve, Maximum.
Hold on, you-
Sorry, I must be off now. Things to do, New Year’s parties to attend. Goodbye for now, Black Stuff for Difficult Teenage Boys Department. Well, now that I think about it, you would actually have to do a race-change to qualify. Or put on a black sweatshirt. I’m sure Fang has one, you should borrow it.
I’m the Black Stuff for Difficult Teenage Boys Department? That doesn’t make any-
Oh.
And here I was this whole time, thinking it was talking about a microwave!
You’re a sick, sick voice. You’re… you’re such a freak! That’s not even funny, you sick…
It was gone. Of course it was gone.
Of course. "
