AEGFF, Chapter 16!!!!
Here's AEGFF Chapter 16!! The first half of the plot will be done soon, then the second shall begin!! ENJOI!

Chapter 16

Max couldn’t believe he hadn’t realized his love for Tera sooner. This feeling… it had lasted far too long to be a simple infatuation. Her personality… her tender moments… she was beautiful and the coolest girl he’d ever met. Despite her bookish and not so social ways, she was a good person. He didn’t know if she felt this way for him, but he knew he felt that way for her.

“Max, Tera, Goofy, Sylvia!!” Anna called from the kitchen, “time for dinner!” Tera hugged Max one last time, then led him into the kitchen. Goofy and Ms. Marpole had been seated next to each other, though far away from Tera’s mother. She barely looked older than Goofy, but apparently, she was in her late fifties. Mako was 28 and the oldest child, so she couldn't be Goofy’s age.

“So… mom…” Tera asked, sitting down at the table next to Max, feeling butterflies fall in her stomach when she let go of his hand, “how do you and Mr. Goof know each other?” Anna looked daggers at her daughter, but smiled (albeit awkwardly) and obliged her daughter by telling them all.

“You see… I was Goofy’s science teacher in 12th grade…” Anna said, taking some mashed potatoes and dumping them on her plate, “and I helped him do a lab involving some flammable substances. Goofy accidentally mixed the two, and it exploded, lighting my hair on fire… I was bald for a long time after that.” She shot Goofy a contemptuous glare, then passed the potatoes down.

“I’ll carve the turkey!” Goofy said, trying to change the subject. However, just before he leaned across the table for the knife, everyone screamed “NO!!”, and Hana took the knife from him. She apologized for being rude, then carved the turkey. Then, everyone took pieces; Tera ended up fighting Sora for the turkey heart. Then, Tera licked it, and stuffed it in her mouth.

“VICTORY!!” Tera shouted, her voice muffled by the turkey. Max burst out laughing, accidentally flinging some mashed potatoes at Anna. They smacked her in the face and sent her and her chair falling backward. Everyone stared in shock, then looked at Max, who looked mortified. When Anna rose from behind the chair, she looked somewhat like Satan Incarnate. That’s how mad she seemed, at least.

“Well, at least you’re going to the X Games next week…” Anna huffed, “just don’t injure my daughter while you’re doing your tricks.” Then, she sat down and ate again, giving Tera a shocking revelation. She suddenly remembered her bet with Chad… she didn’t want to go on a date with him. At least she’d gone on a date with Max first though.

“No more bitch pills for you, Miss Crabby Ass…” Tera muttered, swallowing the turkey heart, then taking some more food. Thanksgiving dinner ended rather quietly; there were no more incidents, even though Sora had tried to start a food fight. Tera and Max then went back on the deck, and talked about the X Games… They were going to the big leagues. If they lost, it’d be broadcast on national T.V. Of course, that wasn’t the only problem they’d be facing there.

The plane trip was rather interesting; Tera had stood up in the middle of the flight and began singing songs by My Chemical Romance rather loudly in the aisle. She was pretty good at singing; much better than those stupid American Idols that were springing up everywhere. Max managed to sit next to her, because she’d punched Bobby unconscious and swapped him and Max seats.

“Thank you for the venom is by far my favorite…” Tera grinned, “but they have plenty of good songs.” Max nodded, and she smiled, looking out the window. They were in Canada again, heading into the Rocky Mountains. Alberta was beautiful; a cool blanket of thick, white snow covered it as far as the eye could see. It was still snowing even then.

“We’re almost there…” Max grinned, “you ready for this? ‘Cause we didn’t come all this way just to lose!” She nodded and they high fived one another, then smiled, waiting for the plane to land. It soon began its descent, and soon enough, they were in the city of Banff. The cold hit them like a crashing wave, but Tera, who had lived in Alberta for the last year, said it was warmer than usual.

“C’mon, we’ve still got time!” Tera chuckled, “let’s make a snowman to commemorate your first day in Canada!!” She began rolling up snowballs, but was hit in the back of the head. Bobby had thrown it, and was laughing stupidly. With a dangerous look in her eyes, Tera grinned at Bobby. Then, she rolled up three snowballs and pelted Bobby with them. She threw a few at P.J. next, but he picked up Bobby and used him as a human shield.

“SNOWBALL WAR!!” Max yelled, picking up some snow and hurling it at Tera, “every man and woman for themselves!!” That was how many hours of their first day at the X games began, and it would certainly be an interesting competition.

Well, there ya go. Read and review both stories, like I always say!
