AN I know what you're thinking, 'About time you made a sequel to The Maximum Effort!' Yeah, I agree XD

Max jolted up and panted with a pale face. The red haired girl composed herself and sighed.

"Another dream...about her..." She whispered.

"Max, you okay?" Roxas asked and she felt something soft against her neck; his lips.

"Yeah, now I am..." She mumbled with pink cheeks.

"That's good." He said against her skin and she got onto her knees. She faced the window and he wrapped his arms around her waist. She pushed the windows open and felt the soft cool breeze hit her face. She sighed with delight and they heard the Clock Tower chiming.

'Another day...' Max thought.

A few minutes later, the red haired girl stared at herself in the mirror. Those lines that were under her eyes were completely faded away; that was good.

Max was ready for another day, wearing her usual attire of clothes. She wore a red spaghetti strap tank top under a short sleeved thin black jacket and a black skirt that went down to her knees. She had a necklace with a ring on it, given by her Roxy.

"Still staring at the mirror, huh?" Roxas asked as he crossed his arms.

"Uh-huh." She giggled and glanced at Roxas' reflection. He shook his head at this and walked up to her. The blonde haired boy wrapped his arm around her and nuzzled her cheek.

"You're beautiful through my eyes." She blushed at this and turned her head towards him. Max rolled her green eyes like this.

"You say that all the time, Rox!" She said and he laughed at this.

"Heh, I love you Maxie." He leaned in and captured her lips.

Later on...

Maximum and Roxas were with Olette, Pence and Hayner at the Usual Spot. Hayner was just talking about some stuff whilst the others listened.

But then, She noticed something from the corner of her eye. She turned to Roxas who was looking at his hands with deep thought. She touched his hands and held them. He looked up at her and she smiled softly at him.

"You okay?" Max asked and he squeezed her hand reassuringly.

"Yeah." Roxas replied and she let go of his hand.

"Man, doesn't that tick you off?" Hayner asked annoyed and Max turned to him.

"Yeah that's wrong!" Pence agreed.

"Seifer's gone too far this time." Olette pointed out. Her eyebrow twitched at this and she gripped her fist whilst grinding her teeth together.

She hated Seifer and she even hated his guts. He thought he was so strong and damn perfect. Flirting around with her in the open and even mocking her boyfriend! Tch, so damn perfect...

"What has he done this time?" Max growled and they all shivered when they sensed her fearful aura of hatred. Hayner hopped off his seat and crossed his arms.

"It's true that stuff's been stolen around town. And we've got a score to settle with Seifer and everything." He glanced at she with a gulp. "So, if he wants to think we did it, we can't really blame him." Her head snapped up.

"Excuse me?" She asked.

"You heard me right Maximum. See, that's not what really bugs me. What really bugs me is that he's goin' around and tellin' everybody that we're the thieves. Now the whole town and their mothers are treating us like the Klepto Club!"

"That cheap jerk!" She shouted out.

"Right on sister!" Hayner agreed and she stood up.

"I've never been so pissed off at that boy in my life!" She said.

"What do we do now?" Hayner asked and she cracked her knuckles.

"I tell you what we do. We beat him up so bad that he doesn't even mutter a word!" She said arrogantly. Hayner tilted his head. Pence scratched the back of his head and Olette laughed nervously at this. Roxas face palmed and shook his head.

"Uh, well...We can find the real thieves. That would set the record straight!" Roxas pointed out and they all turned to him.

"Yeah, that sounds like fun." Pence said.

"It might have less violence, but it sounds like a great idea." Max smiled at Roxas with a wink. Pence ran off somewhere.

"But what do we do about Seifer?" Hayner asked.

"First, we need to clear our names. Once we find the real culprit, everyone will get off our backs." Roxas stated.

"Oh no!" Pence exclaimed and they all looked at him.

"They're gone! Our - are gone, - are gone!" Max twitched at this.

'Sounds like a movie, when you're swearing they cut it out.' She thought.

Pence touched his throat and cleared his throat.

"All our - are gone?" Hayner asked and he freaked out as well. She tried so much not to laugh, but started snickering.

"You can't say -, why not?" Olette asked and Max laughed at this. They watched her and she stopped whilst wiping a tear away.

"You guys are jokes! Can't even say a word." Hayner huffed and rolled his eyes at this.

"Max, I can't say it either, I can't say -." Roxas mumbled and she shook her head at this.

"Aw come on you guys. Stop pretending, even I can say -." Her eyes widened and she gulped.

"No way, no, I can't say the word, -! That is so low!" She complained and looked at Roxas.

"They were stolen. And not just the -, the word -, they stole it too!" He muttered.

"What kind of thief is that?" Hayner crossed his arms.

"A good one. Hey if I was a thief, I would have stolen the item, the word and the memory of it, then people would be confused and all." They stared at her with large eyes and her eyes twitched.

"What?" She asked curiously and Roxas shook his head vigorously forgetting what weird this came out of Max's mouth at that moment.

"Okay, Seifer could never have pulled that off." The green-eyed teen said and huffed at this whilst rolling her eyes at this.

"Yeah!" Roxas agreed.

"Time for some recon." Hayner muttered.

"And kicking some butt!" She jumped and pounded her head in the air with a little tee-hee. Roxas smiled at this and shook his head at this; cute and crazy.

Hayner, Olette and Pence ran off and just as Max and Roxas was about to follow everything went hazy. Roxas placed his hand onto his head and groaned. Max covered her face with her palms and breathed slowly.

'What's going on...? Why is...everything so...slow motion and...hazy?' She thought and they both fell to the ground.

"His heart is returning and oddly, her highness' heart is returning as well. Doubtless he'll awaken very soon. But I'm not sure about the Princess just yet. There's still a 98% chance she won't wake up."

Roxas opened his eyes and got up. He dusted some dust off his trousers and noticed the redhead who was still on the ground. But then she woke up and was on her knees. The red haired nobody placed her hand onto her head and he helped her up.

"It felt like, I was went on a merry-go-round too many times." She mumbled and looked up at Roxas.

"You okay now?" He asked and closed her eyes for a few minutes. She opened her green eyes with a small smile, smirking.

Few seconds later...

They leaned in and started kissing. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pushed her against the wall. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he pulled away from her lips and attacked her sweet spot on her neck.

"Oh Roxas..." Max sighed with delight.

"Guys..." They heard Olette say and Roxas pulled away from Max instantly. They looked at the ground with red cheeks and the brown haired girl couldn't help but giggle at this. It was so awkward!

"Sorry for disturbing you two, but we need to go. Come on." She said.

"Right." They agreed in unison and followed her.
