Living off of a waiter salory wasn't exactly the most perfect thing in the world. There were perks though. The fact that the diner would provide meals for the time you a working for free, that was a real plus. Maxx however couldn't just survive off of diner food, he needed more, seeing how he ate enough food for about five people.
So here Maxx was, grocery shopping. It wasn't particularly enjoyable but Maxx found a way to make it fun. Maxx always found a way to make the less enjoyable enjoyable. It was a gift he had. Finding chips turned into a trearsure hunt with risks of booby traps that had to be avoided, making it quite a spectical for the other shoppers to watch. Figuring out discounts turned into a game show. Everything was so much more fun with Maxx.
Currently Maxx was loading his cart with hot dogs. As he did so he through them in from a distance, trying to see how many he could get in. It was his fifth pack and two were on the floor and two in the cart. This was the deciding shot, win or lose. Maxx launched the package in the direction of the cart but instead hit someone, a girl. "Oh d**n!" Maxx said and rushed over to the girl, "I'm sorry! I really wasn't aiming at you. I was trying to get it in the cart... but I missed." With a sheepish grin Maxx apologized again, "Sorry!" |

Phoebe looked at the cold make believe ball. Hot dogs. Lovely. Phoebe rubbed her shoulder and started to think of things that must be attached to her to make her look like a target. she sighed deeply and bent down pushing her camra case to her back. "I think you lost on that one, but ill call a foul and you can try again." she stood up straight and looked at Maxx.
"It's fine really hear lately i've become a custem to things, people, creatures..." Phoebe trailed off as she thought about Alice, Bella, and the others such as Edward, the god like man. "I'm fine ive had worse chucked at me." Phoebe smiled and then looked at the hot dogs. "Oh here, these are yours."

"Thanks" Maxx said to the girl and grabbed the package with his huge hand. He tossed the package in making his food count 5 hotdogs, 3 loafs of bread, 2 jumbo bags of chips, a jar of pickles, some microwave dinners, and a few cases of Dr. Pepper. Maxx knew it would be better to eat healthier, but he was an 18 year old guy living alone, expectations were low.
The next thing on Maxx's agenda was to find the icecream. Most probably it would be in the freezer section. At that moment Maxx had a great idea, a fun idea. "Time to go to the Artic!" Maxx announced and flipped the hood of his orange hooded jacked up, trying to be an eskimo of sorts. As he did so he turned to the girl and said in a horrible English accent, "Care to join me young lady on my journey to the treacherous frozen lands?" As he said it he gave her a wink and an encouraging smile, having company always made things so much more fun. |

Phoebe looked at the boy with raised eye brows. Wow. And here i thought mom was crazy. She smiled and looked at his cart. "Sure why not?" Phoebe pulled her hoodie tighter around her turso and smiled.
"So are you feeding like three people?" she asked as they started for the freezer section. it was alot of food well in Phoebe's oppinion.
[[sorry its so short. *places post in the freezer* freeze post for being so short!]]

Maxx smiled at the girls comment. It was true he did have a lot of food for just one person, but he wasn't a normal person. "Well Miss," Maxx said still in his faux English accent, "I am feeding three people... Me, myself, and I!"
After giving her a big grin Maxx began loading his cart with every flavor icecream on the shelf, besides vinilla. After counting all the pint sized ice creams Maxx deduced that he had officially spent his first pay check on a load of grocers that wasn't even worth a full week. "Hmmm...." Maxx said, thinking for a second. "Well I think this is just going to have to last a week... I'll stretch it out!"
"Here!" Maxx said and tossed a pint of icecream at the girl. "That is your treasure!" Maxx pronounced in his English accent again like a bad game show host, "You just braved the dreaded frozen section! Congratulations!" Purposefully Maxx walked up to the girl and shook her hand and said with a face that looked serious but you could tell wasn't, "I'm Maxx, Maxx Winstone! And who may the lucky winner be?" |

Phoebe caught the icecream and toyed with it for a little then looked at him to hear it was her treasure. Sweet. Ice cream. Phoebe smiled and then was taken back when Maxx shook her hand. it was extremely warm.
"Im Phoebe Coda Dwyer." she smiled as she let go of his hand. "Your really hot.." phoebe paused and then blushed slightly. "I mean you hand is hot." she looked at him and then sighed. "Sorry i was just... nevermind." she smiled and then placed the icecream in the basket she had been towing around. she stared at the ground and then looked up at Maxx. she honestly had no need for ice cream considering she didnt even own a freezer. good thing she felt depressed.

Pheobe seemed to notice the warmth of his touch. It was fine with Maxx, easy to pass off. Its not like he hadn't bumped into people that wanted to cart him to the hospital, especially the Winstones, they really thought there was something crazy going on. Maxx simply passed it off with a joke, people laughed and moved on. Easy shmeezy.
"Thanks Miss Phoebe," Maxx said and gave her an overly exagurated wink, his hair flopping in his face as he did so. "You're pretty yourself," Maxx complimented, compliments usually got girls side tracked, it helped when the compliments were true too and in this case they were.
"Now Miss Pretty Face," Maxx said, ready for his next adventure, check out. "I must say that I am ready to have a visit to the cashier!" At that Maxx tightened his hood a little more and gave Phoebe a goofy grin that sparkled his green blue eyes. "Care to join me?" |

Phoebe sighed she wasnt usued to complements so it didnt really fase her. He was avoiding the comment. What was with people avoiding things lately? phoebe sighed again and then gasped. she didn't get those wonderfull Oatmeal squares she came in for. "I'll meet you there." she smiled and then started to turn away.
"Cereal? Oatmeal?" she asked her self and then took offto the cereal isle. there they were. Her favorit food in the world, Apple Cinnomin Oatmeal Squares. Ironicly she hated Oatmeal with a firey passion but loved the squares. she smiled to her self as she took one box and placed it in her basket. There wasnt much there, just the icecream she had suposedly won and now the breakfast squares. no need to get anything else wend you cant carry it.
Phoebe walked up to the front of the store and steped in front of a young couple that was trying to get in line behind Maxx. "I don't think so." she muttered with a slight grin on her face. phoebe paused at the drinks and pulled out two Dr. Peppers. she took a step forword and looked at Maxx. "Im here." she said slightly looking to the side with the pink slowly fadding to red on her cheeks.

While Phoebe ran off to get something that she apparently had forgotten Maxx made his way over to the cash register. On his way he had to resist the urge to buy one of those big colorful playground balls that were in a large bin. After a while of bouncing several balls at one time Maxx sighed and put them away after collecting all the escapees.
Just as he got into line behind an old lady with an alarming amount of cherry juice in her cart Phoebe came behind him carrying a few more objects than before. "I can tell!" Maxx said in his usual cheery voice.
When the cherry juiced up old lady finally shuffled away pushing her juice filled cart Maxx began loading his cartful of junk food onto the convayer thing. "Are you only getting that much?" Maxx asked as he loaded on all of his hotdogs. |

Phoebe looked at her mostly empty basket and sighed. It really looked pathetic in the most extreme way. she sighed once more and looked at Maxx. "Yeah, its all i can carry."
Phoebe thought she was weird but she could risk too much since she carried all that she owned on her back. she let out a sigh and then looked at Maxx once more. "Im a light shopper." she said in a slightly joking manner that hinted at 'I dont buy to much for a reason.'
Phoebe looked at his cart and bit her lower limp gently. "Would you like some help?" she asked looking at the other things in his cart.

"Sure!" Maxx said happily looking at his still half full cart. Maxx could have easily handled the lot but it seemed fun to have some help. Not to mention that Phoebe seemed to go along with his shinanigans without a fuss, always a plus.
"You know what?" Maxx said after the cart was unloaded and the cashier was giving him a look that said 'This cannot be for one person!'. He looked at Phoebe's meager soon to be purchases and decided it was time to be a nice person.
Happily Maxx grabbed Phoebe's basket out of her hand and put it on the convayer. Of course Maxx would be sacraficing a few day food or maybe miss a few days of electricity but he thought it was worth it, seeing how Phoebe was so nice. "I'll be paying for that!" Maxx said and pointed at the basket that was just at the cashier with a big goofy grin on Maxx's face. |

Phoebe's jaw jropped as Maxx took her basket of pathetic items away. By the time she could react it was too late. she sighed in defeat and started to load things trying to come up with something in protest.
"So you know its nice meeting you, how would you like som lunch?" Phoebe thought about it and desided it was the beter thing rather then protesting. "If you like we can meet at Burger King." phoebe smiled up at Maxx, still loading.
God, why couldnt i have better ideas? why do i have to be so lame? Phoebe looked at the last remaining itams and sighed. Dr. Pepper. she loved Dr. Pepper hence the two in the basket. she pulled then up one at a time and placed them on the belt. "So, what do you say? Lunch on me?"

The idea of eating out suddenly sounded like a great idea to Maxx. The only thing that didn't make him answer right away to Phoebe's request is that if she was paying for it he would have to eat remarkably less then normal. There was no way that he would make someone else pay for his abnormally large appetite.
"Sure!" Maxx said happily as he pushed his groceries to his car and began to load them in. The plan was that Maxx would scarf down some food before he went with Pheobe to eat. He'd simply meet her after he dropped all of his stuff off at his apartment and eat there.
"I'll meet you there in 30 minutes?" Maxx asked guessing it would be enough time to make a few PB&Js. |

Phoebe followed Maxx out and snached her bag of two sodas and one box of breakfast squares up. she was being sure to leave the ice cream. she was trying to be sneaking like that. "Alright ill meet you there." she smiled and stated to walk away.
Wow. He's ubberly nice. she thought as she walked. Phoebe sighed deeply and then started to hum as she walked. she smled to her self and before she knew it she was at Burgerking.
"Why did i pick this place?" she asked as she walked in and found a seat near the door. she stared off realising that she hadnt slept in days, no weeks. she sighed and looked at the tabble. "Im so pathetic." she whispered and looked up to see if Maxx was there. sadly he wasnt and phoebe looked away. "..*deep sigh*.."
Phoebe laided her head down after a few minutes and then scared her self away with a reacurring vission she kept having of a young girl dying. she wipped her forehead and sighed. "They get worse and worse." she sighed and looked at her phone. it had no sevice sicne her mom and dad died so she only carried it for the time and date. Who would she call. most of her friends forgot about her years ago.
