AEGFF Chapter 4
Tee hee, I'm on a roll! I hope you like this chapter!

Chapter 4

Max, P.J. and Bobby got to the skate park before Tera did. She walked in with a trick bike, watching as they did their tricks. Max was by far the best, or at least on skateboard. Bobby was able to do some very interesting moves while grinding on the rails, and P.J. got some good bike rounds in.

“Hey Tera, aren’t you gonna join in?” Max asked Tera, who simply grinned. She brought her bike up to the ramp, gulping slightly from the steepness. She’d never gone DOWN a ramp before; only up and away. However, she put on a brave face, and hopped on, steadying herself. The guys got off the ramp, and she started her ride.

“I don’t think I can do this!” Tera shouted as she started down, pulling the bike into a catwalk. She screamed at the top of her lungs, accidentally doing most of the tricks that P.J. had to practice desperately to perform. She got to the other side, and almost wiped out. However, before her face got planted, she grasped the trick bars on the back wheel, and lifted herself up on them. It was a very interesting stall move; definitely not something that had been done before.

“Am I doing okay?” Tera asked, lifting a hand off the handle to hold up the front of her shirt. Max, P.J. and Bobby only nodded, mouths gaping wide. She chuckled, gaining confidence. She flipped the bike out from under her, and landed on the seat, grinning. She did a few more interesting freestyle tricks, before riding off the ramp and landing next to the guys.

“Um… I’m sorry if I one upped you, P.J.… it’s just I’m good with bikes; the idea of doing that with a skateboard or roller skates freaks me out.” Tera said apologetically, sighing with relief when P.J. assured her it was okay. She smiled, then began doing a few more tricks with the guys.

“Say Tera… our X Games team is kinda small, and we could use another person on the team. So… would you like to…?” Max began, not needing to finish the question. Tera smiled at him and nodded, looking down at his hand when he offered it for a shake. She grinned, then walked over, leaning forward to shake his hand. Before he knew what was happening, she leaned up and kissed him on the cheek.

“I’d love to join the team. Now c’mon, I’m starved. Let’s go get some lunch.” Tera grinned, leaving a blushing and bewildered Max behind her. Bobby and P.J. followed,, leaving Max alone. He took that brief moment where he laughed “a-hyuck!” like his father did. Then, he ran after the group, smiling.

“Hey, wait for me!!” Max called, chasing after his three friends and teammates.

“So, we’re going to Club Rave now?” Tera asked, tying her hair up in a scrunchie, grinning as Max nodded, “alright! I’ve wanted to get some dancing in. Maybe you’d like to join me?” She joked about the last part poking Max. He chuckled, and they walked over to her motorcycle. Tera got on the front, leaving the bitch seat for Max. He took it grudgingly; Tera had informed him of what it was called.

“Hold me tight.” Tera said, leaving Max bewildered for a moment. This wasn’t a request for a hug, however; it was a command to hold on for dear life. She took off on the bike, wind whipping past them. Max almost fell off, but he was able to get a good grip on her before he did. Before he knew it, they were at Club Rave; a little club that was all public. That meant no scary bouncers and no lists to worry about.

“You know, you can left go now.” Tera said, walking up to the door. Max hadn’t noticed that he’d wrapped his legs and arms around Tera’s torso, and was still holding on tight. He laughed uneasily and slipped off, blushing slightly.

“Sorry…” Max managed to say, Tera smiling at him good-naturedly. The two walked into the dance club, light shining from the roof and the floor. They were able to find P.J. and Bobby quickly, as they looked bored and were waiting by a plate full of cheese covered nachos.

“Hey, you two are finally here!!” Bobby chuckled, gesturing for them to come over, “hurry, the nachos are getting cold! OW OW OW OW!!” He howled, Tera and Max laughing quietly to themselves. They walked over to their friends, and sat down. Tera ignored Bobby’s plight to sit next to him, and nestled herself in between Max and P.J..

“So, we’re going to beat the Gammas again this year, right?” Max said, talking motivationally to his friends. He picked a cheese covered nacho off the top of the pile as he said it, holding it up like he was expecting a toast.

“They didn’t beat us last year, did they?” Bobby added, plucking another nacho and raising it near Max’s. Tera caught on, waiting for her turn to grab a nacho.

“Even if they cheat, we’ll be ready!” P.J. grinned, raising the third nacho. Tera leaned forward, grabbing a forth and raising it next to the others’.

“The look on good ol’ Chadwick’s face when we win is going in my mental scrapbook!” Tera chuckled, raising her nacho. The group nodded, pulling their nachos back for a few seconds.

“LET’S DO IT TO IT!!” They shouted in unison, knocking the chips together. After they did that, they proceeded to shovel handfuls of nachos into their mouths, getting covered in cheese around their faces. One of the girl’s from the college walked over, looking disgusted at them.

“Who let the pigs out of the barn?” She commented, smiling wickedly. Tera, not one to take something like this lying down, swallowed her nachos and wiped the cheese off of her face. “Whoa, watch out! The amazon’s angry!” The girl cooed in sing-song, grinning at the angry twitch under Tera’s eye.

“Alright. It’s one to insult my friends, and it’s another to insult me, but insulting our eating habits? Why not go have an after-dinner barf, Queen Bulimia?” Tera shouted, angrily looking over at the woman. She grinned at her expression, which was one of disbelief.

“Oh, it’s on. I challenge you to a dance off!” The girl said, pointing at Tera, who chuckled. Quietly, she took off her scrunchie, palming it. She slid past Max, standing next to the girl.

“Max, hold my scrunchie.” Tera said, handing the elastic to Max, “I have to go teach someone how to dance.”
