Ok so....I know I said I would try to make a new chapter before the end of February but I have no bloody idea how to start the next chapter 😥. I remembered that for Honors English, I wrote a short story for my journal. It was about Max and Onyx. I just decided to publish it here because I like it. In case you're wondering, dear reader, I've barely started editing. I know, I know, you must be thinking,"Why are you so lazy?!" But hey I've started read a ton of manga so I got side tracked. In all seriousness though, I swear that I'll write and publish a legitimate chapter very soon.

Onyx took out her pocket watch and sighed. "What's taking him so long?" She wondered aloud, placing a hand on her forehead. Today was their first date, Max's and Onyx's. Max usually arrived at the most random moments; occasionally he was early. Fifteen minutes had passed since Onyx stood alone in the winter wonderland known as Victorian London. "Maybe I should just go home.....I doubt he'll show up anytime soon." She began to walk away, not knowing that she was being watched. Onyx then felt two arms wrap themselves around her waist. She stood still, tense, not certain of who it was."And where do you think you're going, dearie," A voice whispered in her ear,"The fun had just yet to begin." She spun herself, glancing up at her captor's face. Onyx instantly relaxed. Max grinned at her, chuckling lightly. "Did I scare you?" Onyx laughed and shook her head. "No, Max, not this time." He let go of Onyx and crossed him arms. "Liar. I saw you flinch at my touch." She rolled her eyes playfully. "So what if I did? Anyways, that doesn't matter? Where have you been for the past 15 minutes?" Max sheepishly smiled and rubbed the back of his neck with his hand. "Problems at the shop. Ready to go?" Onyx shook her head and said slyly,"Hmmmm? What kind of problems? Does it have to do with a certain lab coat of yours?" Max tsked and mumbled,"You know me so well." "Damn straight I do. We've been friends since we were kids." Onyx looked proud of herself. 'She's still the same little girl that I've loved since childhood,' Max thought happily to himself. He offered an arm to Onyx and said,"Well, shall we go, my lady? I know you've been dying to go out with me." He winked. "Oh, please! I just feel sorry for ya. You can't even get a single girl to go out with you!" Onyx joked, taking his arm . Honestly, though, when Max had asked her out on a date a few days ago, Onyx thought her heart would burst from excitement. She had first loved Max since they first became friends all though years ago. "Let's go, milady. The night is still young!" Max exclaimed. Onyx swatted his arm lightly, giggling. "You twat. It's only 5:30!" Max pretended to think for a moment. "Well then, the evening is still young. Let's go!" They ran in the snow together, laughing as snow began to fall.
