These past few months have been insane, Chloe has been busy, but she's been around when she's not shooting her new movie. Truth be told, she is just regular, n-not in a bad way just.. She's just like me, she's a normal teenager who enjoys normal teenage things, and it's odd, because I always thought that celebrities were so different than regular people.

Max leaned over her bed, picking up her phone to check her unread messages.

Chloe: Hey Maxi-Pad! Breakfast at Two Whales?

Max paused examining the message closely, she felt her heart skip when she read it, she loved eating breakfast with Chloe, she always looked forward to it.

Max: Yeah sounds great!
Chloe: Cool, see you soon. :)

Max ran a hand through her hair and glanced towards to door as she heard a knock.

"Come in!" She uttered.
"Hey Max." The small girl voiced.
"Hey Kate, what's up?"
"Oh um.. I just wanted to make sure you were okay? I haven't really seen you around much, and it's been forever since we went out for tea."
"Oh Kate.. I'm really sorry. I hope you don't think I was ignoring you deliberately, I've just had a lot on my hands these past few months."
Kate dismissed it with a wave of her hand and a heartfelt smile. "No no, not at all Max, I know you better.. But..."
"But?" Max inquired, confusion falling over her.
"There are some rumors going around.."

Max stood up from her bed and began making it to have an excuse to avoid eye contact.

"Kate, what in the world are you talking about? Spit it out already!"
"People are saying that you and Chloe Price are dating!" She blurted out, but quickly covered her mouth and dropped her gaze.

Max immediately stopped what she was doing and turned to face Kate, a slight blush residing on her face.

"What do you mean..?"
"You know exactly what I mean Max! .. People are saying you've been with her a lot and... They've been saying that the two of you are.. Together.."
"K-Kate, it's not true.. You shouldn't believe everything you hear."
"But you have been with her a lot..?" Kate's words seemed to trail off more and more with each sentence.
"Kate, if you're implying that I like her better than you as a friend, then you're wrong. Look, I'm sorry, why don't we plan a day this week where we can go out and get tea, sound good?"
Kate's eyes lit up at the thought. "I'd like that Max." She smiled.
"I really hate to run, but I do have to go." Max walked over and hugged Kate. "Text me okay?"
"Alright Max."

The two walked out of the room and Max made her way to the parking lot, as usual.

After waiting for a few minutes, skimming through articles on her phone, the pretentious, yet stunning, Chloe Price drove up.

She throws Max a hearty smile before saying "Hey Maxi, ready to go?"
"If I wasn't ready I wouldn't be out here yet." Max chuckled at her own sarcasm.
"Oh come on, more of the sarcasm? I can still leave you know."
"Oh nooo... Please don't leave me O' lovely Chloe Price, how will I go on...?~" Max couldn't help but bust out into laughter before climbing in the car."
"You're lucky I like you, or I would be long gone." Chloe began driving the car.
"Oh you like me? How queer."
"More than you know, Caulfield."
"Wait what? What's that supposed to mean?"
"Hm?"
"I.. What you just said?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Chloe smirked.
"Asshole.." Max muttered.
"Guilty!"

The two arrived at Two whales and made their way inside.

After ordering their meals, Chloe clasped her hands together and twiddled her thumbs.

"Hey uh Chloe..? You alright? You never act like this."
"Hey Max?"
"..Yeah?"
"Can I ask you something?"
Max paused briefly. "Yeah Chloe, anything."
"Max.. These past few months have just.. Honestly been some of the best of my life and maybe I'm moving a bit too quickly but.. I wanted to know if you'd do me, the absolute honour of being my girlfriend?"

Max's jaw dropped, and she held her hand over her mouth, still staring at Chloe.

"Uh.. H-Hello? Earth to Max? The more you just stand there, the more my anxiety builds. You got something to say?"
Max stood up and walked around the table, taking the seat next to Chloe before wrapping her arms around her.
"Yes yes! Oh my god yes Chloe!"
Chloe let out a long exhale. "God Max, another second and I swear my heart would've stopped beating, you gotta communicate girl."
Max giggled. "Yeah, sorry."

Just then Chloe's phone rang, Max climbed off her so Chloe could answer.

"Price." She answered.
... "Uh huh.. Yeah.."
She sounds like she's talking to her mom or something.
"Right.. Okay, I'll be right there." Chloe hung up the phone with a groan. "Well Maxi, looks like you're coming to set with me, my manager said I have to be there immediately and that means no time to drop you off, let's go!" Chloe grasped Max's hand pulling her out of the diner.

The two were sitting in Chloe's car, Max, staring out the window longingly.

"Hey Che?" Max chimed in.
"Yeah? What's up Maxi?"
"Are you sure you have no time to take me back?"
Chloe could hear the hesitance in her voice. "Uh well.. I mean if it's really that big a deal, I could, but I mean.. I thought it'd be kinda nice to have you around on set y'know? But if it bothers you then yeah, I could drive by Blackwell real quick." Chloe averted eye contact and sighed.
"Oh hey um..." Max placed her hand gently over Chloe's. "No it's really okay, it isn't the end of the world if I miss one class." She smiled.
"That's my girl."

When the pair arrived on set, they were approached a clean-cut man, Chloe's manager.

"Ugh this has all gone to hell." He groaned.
"Yo, what's up M?" Chloe inquired with a loose tone.
"Everything's gone to shit, Price, some of the actors just quit on us! How are we ever going to make this work?!" The man flailed his fists angrily.
Chloe wrapped an arm around Max and pulled her next to her. "Improvise Mitchell!"
Mitch gazed at her with confusion. "Improvise? Is that even possible? And who even is this anyway?" He directed his gaze to Max.
"Maxine Caulfield! She's a prodigy I tell you."
"C-Chloe, what are you talking about? I don't know how to act at all!" Max insisted.
"Oh come on, just go with the flow!" The tall girl beamed, pulling Max onto the stage.
"What's this?" The director called out.
"Mitch said we're short, so I brought a friend, we're gonna improvise."
"..You're insane Price.. but what other choice do we have? Quiet on the set!"

Max stared up at Chloe, not knowing what to say or do.

"Hey, just chill alright, in this movie, I'm a spy, name's Kate Jones, but everyone calls me Agent Zero, don't worry, I'll be sure to let the actors and actresses know to include you in, don't be scared, just go with the flow." Chloe whispered, giving Max a warm smile. "Oh and be sure to think of a fake name for yourself, alright?"

Chloe walked off, conversing with the other actors on set.

"Alright everyone! Lights, cameras.. and.. Action." The director spouted, while giving Max a signal to move to the side.
She complied and the scene began.

Chloe holds a fighting stance, glaring at her enemy, Wolfman.

"It's too late Price! This building will blow at any moment!" Wolfman looked over to one of his lackeys and did a head nod, at that signal one of them raced over and grabbed Max, placing one of the fake guns to her head.
Her body stiffened, and she struggled trying to break free from his grasp.

"Quit squirming kid, or I won't hesitate to shoot." The man said.
Max immediately complied and stared at Chloe, distress in her eyes.
Chloe switched her stance, and faced the lackey, pointing her gun at him. "Let her go bonehead, she doesn't need this."
The lackey scoffed, "Or what Zero?" Just then, Max elbowed the man in the stomach, making him lose his grip, she squirmed free and ran to Chloe, clutching her sleeve.
"Hey are you okay there, did her hurt you?" Chloe cooed.
"N-No, I'm okay.." Max uttered.
"Great, good, well I hate to cut this short, but we need to get the hell out of here." Chloe placed her gun in the pocket of her pants and picked Max up. "Hang on tight." Chloe began running towards one of the windows on set.
When she reached the window, the director shouted "Cut!" and Chloe promptly stopped, placing Max on the ground again.

The director rose from his chair and began clapping. "Wow Price, that was impressive, and your performance was impressive too Miss uh.. Caulfield was it? I mean, before you even walked on set, I could feel this energy from you two, but on stage? WOW! I'm flabbergasted. How would you like a full part in our movie Miss Caulfield?"
Max paused, her face flushed. "I.. I mean.. I'm more of a photographer than an actress.." She muttered modestly.
"Oh come on, don't make me beg sweetie, we'll pay you, and since you obviously are close friends with Price here, you'll get to spend more time with her too." The director persisted.
"Wowzers.. I mean I would love to, but.. I have school too."
"Not a problem! We'll call your school and tell them that you have permission to be excused from class! And if they say no.. We'll pay them too, no big deal." The director said with a smug grin. "So what'dya say kid?"
Max smiled brightly before saying "I mean, yes! Wowzers I would be honoured."
"Good choice kid, we'll get right on that." The director walked off, spouting orders at others.

Chloe pulled Max backstage and stared at her with a hearty smile before hugging her tightly.

"You were so incredible Max! I knew you had it in you! I'm so proud of you." Chloe said.
Max buried her blushing face into Chloe's shoulder. "I wouldn't have been able to do any of this without you."
"You really are just the cutest thing Maxi.. I'm glad that you're here with me.

"Yeah Chloe.. Me too." Max let out a hearty laugh.
