   AEGFF Chapter 12!!
Well, here's Chapter 12. This one's pretty long; don't get too mad! Anyways, enjoy!

Chapter 12

“Lie still Maxie,” Tera murred, pinning Max to his bed, “I know that you want me as much as I want you.” Max blushed and writhed beneath her; she was a lot stronger than she looked. She was barely clothed, which made Max blush even redder, if that was possible. As she leaned down to kiss him, Max closed his eyes. Then he woke up. Sitting bolt upright, he noticed his face was hot from all the blood that had flowed there. He ran a hand through his hair, and looked at his alarm clock. 4:27 AM. ‘God,’ He thought, lying back down on his bed, ‘I’m only supposed to be on a break from Roxanne… how can I be in love with Tera?’ He sighed and sleep soon drifted into his mind once again.

“It’s okay Tera,” Max murred, pinning Tera to her bed, “We both know that this is what we want.” He grinned, and Tera blushed bright red. As far as she could tell, Max was wearing boxers, but she didn’t want to look down. He bent close to her, her lips about to brush against his. Then, all of a sudden, the dream snapped and Tera woke up, lips in mid-pucker. She blushed bright red again, checking to make sure that Joyce was asleep. When she was, Tera sighed with relief. Her eyes drifted to her alarm. 4:27 AM. ‘Gah!’ Tera thought, hitting her pillow grumpily with her head, ‘this is unfair! I’ve been in love with Max since I saw him in 9th grade, and I was afraid to ask him out before he was taken! I just wish he liked me back…’ She sighed again and closed her eyes, sleep eventually taking her into its loving embrace.

“I’m going to tell him,” Tera grinned, looking over at Joyce, “I know exactly what to say.” Joyce grinned at her friend, walking over and sitting next to Tera on her bed. She must’ve been in a good mood; Joyce hadn’t found herself sitting on the floor this time. Smiling, Joyce turned Tera’s head and had a good look into her eyes.

“Are you sure? What if he doesn’t like you back?” Joyce said, regretting saying it when Tera’s face fell. Her friend pushed her off the bed and picked up KoKo, patting her head furiously, gritting her teeth.

“You just had to complicate this, didn’t you?” Tera grumbled, hugging the cat plushie. Joyce sighed and got into the shower, screaming “I THOUGHT YOU FIXED THIS?” when the dyslexic shower sprayed the wrong temperature out. Tera allowed herself a laugh, and decided she might as well tell Max. He would probably be in his dorm; Bobby and P.J. would just be waking up. When Tera reached his dorm and knocked on the door, Bobby answered; Max was no where in sight.

“Max? He’s not here, bra,” Bobby grinned, tipping his sunglasses, “but I’m here.” Tera sighed and pushed Bobby over, grinning at him as he stared up from the floor. He told her Max was in the library, and that he’d been there for a while. Tera smiled and thanked him for the information, and left the room, leaving Bobby lying on the floor.

“She so digs me.” Bobby grinned as P.J. walked by. P.J. just laughed and closed the door, after dragging Bobby to safety from the door’s gait.

“So Maxie, yer in love with this other girl now?” Goofy asked, straightening the decorative glasses he wore, “aren’t you still dating that Roxanne girl?” Max explained that they were on a break, but were essentially still a couple. Goofy scratched his chin; he hadn’t been in this sort of situation before. Plus, it was one of Max’s friends who he had affections for; he was glad that Max had said the object of his affection was a girl.

“Well, why’d ya tell me? I’m yer dad! I thought you’da told yer friends.” Goofy grinned, leaning on Ms. Marpole’s desk. However, he put his hand on a pencil and slipped, falling over and landing on his butt. Max grinned, but was shushed by some of the students who were cram studying. He helped his father up, thinking of why he had come to his father.

“My friends would laugh if I told them I liked Tera.” Max said, pulling a pencil out from behind his father’s ear and putting it on Ms. Marpole’s desk again. Goofy smiled… well goofily when Max had mentioned Tera’s name. He punched his son lightly in the arm, and smiled, getting a good grip on the desk before leaning on it.

“Gawrsh son, that girl’s really nice. And purdy too!” Goofy grinned patting his son’s shoulder. Max blushed a little; he’d never really noticed how beautiful the tomboy he’d befriended was. Of course, he figured she didn’t know it herself. Which she didn’t, but that was beside the point. Just at that moment, Tera came in, walking over to Max and Goofy.

“Heya Mr. Goof. Hi Max.” Tera said, saluting Goofy. The two men said their hellos back to her. She asked if she could steal Max for a little while; Goofy gladly obliged her. Max walked off and offered his dad a thumbs up. He wanted to tell Tera how he felt, which was exactly what she wanted to do.

“So, what did ya bring me out here for, Tera?” Max asked, sitting on the bleachers by the track field where Tera had brought him. It had gotten rather chilly in November; both were wearing heavier coats and Tera was wearing a white scarf with a little black cat on either end. Her hands were in her pockets and she was kicking her legs as they dangled above the floor. ‘How can I say it?’ They both thought, glancing at each other for a moment.

“Well, I was wondering… do you think friends can date friends?” Tera blurted, blushing and looking away from Max. He looked very surprised, and blushed as well, looking away from her. How would he answer her question? She had been pretty open, but Max had no idea what to say.

“I guess if they really liked each other… I dunno.” Max stammered, looking at Tera. Their eyes met and they smiled, knowing exactly what the other was thinking.

“Maybe you’d like to come with me to the mall on Saturday? I’ll pay for my own stuff.” Tera grinned, scooching closer to Max. He smiled and nodded. She smiled wide and told him to meet her at her dorm at around 4 PM. She had picked the mall so that if the date went bad, they could just say they were going to the mall. He smiled and agreed, then they left and returned to their dorms.

“EVERYBODY MAMBO!!” Max shouted when he walked into his dorm, grabbing a poor, unsuspecting P.J. and swinging him around to a mambo beat that he was humming. Unsure of what was happening, P.J. didn’t ask any questions. Tera was similar when she walked into her dorm. She screamed, “I DID IT!! SORT OF!!” and commenced dancing with Joyce, who didn’t object.
