Season #Winter

Kelly:
Yeah, we good. We landed on Max.

Max pushes them off and gets the dust off her clothes.

Max:
*Sighs* Ok. *Thinks* How in the hell are we gonna get out of this hole?

She looks around and sees most of everyone has on coats. She has an idea.

Max:
Listen, I need everyone to give me their coats and hoodies. I got an idea.

Everyone drops/gives Max their coats and hoodies. She ties them into a rope.

Max:
Ma. Is there a tree or something up there to tie one of the ends to?

Mocha:
Yea.

Max:
Ok, I need someone to tie this end to it.

Mocha tries to end a big rock. Maxine, Kelly, and Cruz climb out of the hole.

Erica:
I don’t know why you climb back up here, Kelly. Cause you know I’m about to push you back down to that hole.

Kelly:
Why?

Erica:
You had to trip Cruz?! That’s our career, not your dumb-fake one.

Kelly:
Really?!

Max:
Everyone knows you go overseas when you don’t make it. You’re a joke.

Tuffy:
Oh, at least they have something to do with their lives. Given the money that I give you to take care of these two brats and of a divorced, single mom will take till 2050 to afford.

Sidney:
*Hits Tuffy’s arm*

Max:
*Thinks* “First, I don't know what the hell you are talking about, cause you barely pay me sh*t.”

Max sighs.

Max:
Kids, go with Aunt Nikki and Uncle Sidney, I gotta go for a walk for a little bit.

Sky:
Is mommy ok?

Mocha:
Baby, she’s ok. She just needs to…...clear her head.

Sky runs to Max and hugs her.

Sky:
You were great, mommy.

Toni:
I swear, I almost whupped some ass. Yo, E. You got the stuff?

Erica:
Yea. *Hands Toni a mini bag*

Tuffy:
Hey, what’s that?

Kelly:
Don’t worry about it, Baby. We're gonna plant it in M’s car.

Tuffy:
What?! Y’all didn’t agree to this!

Kelly:
Hey, shut up! It’s all good.

--------------------------------------------

Max goes back to the lab and sits on the floor. Franks walks in.

Franks:
Oi, what’s wrong?

Max:
Hm? It’s nothing.

Franks:
Come on, you only sit in my lab when something's wrong. Plus, I got about 2 hours. Spill some tea.

Max:
Ok, you are NOT allowed to hang around high school kids ever again. *Laughs* Ok, well. It started……..

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mocha:
Kids, can you go to your rooms? Your father and I need to talk about something.

David:
Why can’t we hear?

Mocha:
Do you want to hear us have sex in the living room?

Boys:
No.

They go into their rooms.

Sidney:
Wait, are we onna have sex in the living room?

Mocha:
*Laughs* No, Daddy. We can do that later. I’m worried about Max. Ever since everyone got here. She has to carry a lot of weight. Plus, she’s probably not even close to solving Lizzy’s or Mona’s cases. From what she’s told me, she’s found lots of stuff in the family’s bags.

Sidney:
Really? Like what?

Mocha:
She found some blood in Tuffy’s bag. And some women's clothes in Tim’s. And for some reason, I don't trust her friends.

Sidney:
I don’t either. Wait, women’s clothes in Tim’s bag?

Mocha:
That’s what I said!

They both laugh.

Mocha:
I’ll tell you the rest outside.

When they go outside, they see Jay and Max talking.

Mocha:
*Hits Sid* Daddy, look!

Jay:
Some game, huh? Yeah. Hey, don't worry about what your cousin said. Being single isn't bad.

Max:
Thanks, feel much better.

Jay:
Ok, what’s wrong with you? Ever since I came back, you’ve been pushing me away.

Max:
Nothing. Except that you keep trying to act like we're cool when we're not.

Jay:
Why aren’t we cool?

Max:
You don’t remember? “Fangs”? Your prom date?

Jay:
Oh, She didn’t have fangs. You are wrong for that! *Laughs*

Max:
*Thinks* I am. *Smiles* But you took her to the prom.

Jay:
After you canceled at the last second.

Max:
Like you wanted to go with me.

Jay:
Why else would I ask you?

Max:
I heard your dick-face jerk friends. They were laughing about how it’ll be for you to take me to bed that night. And you let them talk about me. You didn’t say anything.

Mocha:
*Sees her sons* What the hell are y’all doing here?

Micheal:
We wanna hear it better.

Mocha:
What-fine! But be quiet.

Jay:
You’re right. I didn’t. Neither did they after I broke his nose and their jaws.

Max turns around after what she hears.

Max:
Wait, is that why they didn’t play for two weeks?

Jay:
You would have known if you weren't such a dramatic little princess.

Max:
You would have known why I canceled if you weren't such a dumb jock. Wouldn't have mattered anyway 'cause there wouldn't have been enough room in the limo for the three of us. You, me, and your ego.

Jay:
That’s ok. Because your low self-esteem doesn't take up too much real estate. You know what? I'm glad we didn't go.

Max:
That makes two of us. Wait, *Whispers* Are they-

Jay nods *Yes*

Max:
*Sighs* Knew it. You know what? It’s late. You wanna stay….

Jay moves closer to her and kisses her lips. She wanted it to stop. But she melted in his arms. She looks around and sees if her parents and brothers are still looking. They are. She stops the kiss.

Max:
*In her head* “Um, what the hell just happened?” I’ll take that as a yes. Um, you can stay on the couch. Or in my bed. *Giggles* Whatever you wanna choose. But I need you to sleep on the couch. *In her head* You can do more than sleep with me in the bed or couch. I’m a good freak.” *Bites lip*

Jay:
Yea. I’ll like that. By the way, do you use Cherry? Because it tastes so good. *Licks lips*

Jay goes inside. Max goes inside as well, but she looks at her parents and brothers.

Max:
To be honest, I don't even give a damn if he sleeps in my bed. Hell, I'll join him on the couch. *Goes insides*

----------------------------

THE NEXT MORNING:

Everyone wakes up hearing Vera playing the family piano. Everyone goes back to their rooms. Vera looks at the family.

Vera:
Hey y’all!

Max:
*In her head* Oh god! Why? Y’all, when i was a little girl. I’d sit next to Vera or whoever was playing the piano and sing along sometimes.

Max sees herself as a little girl, sitting next to Mona.

Memory:

Mona:
What song do you wanna play, Maxine?

Little Max:
How about this one, Auntie? I love this song.

Mona:
That’s my fav song. Let’s play it. *Starts playing*

Max:
*Sings along* Oh, yeah, yes. Ooh. Can I talk to you for a minute? There's something on my mind that I wanna say…….

--------------------------------------------------

Mocha:
Um, baby girl?

Max:
Hm? I’m back! What’s wrong? Where’s Michael and Ray Ray?

Tuffy points to them. Max gives herself a facepalm.

Max:
*Thinks* Oh God!” Well, I'm taking a nap for about 2 or 3 hours. No one wakes me up. Um, Diana and Janet. I need you both to cook the Mac and Cheese and the Dressing. By the way, Jay is still sleeping on the couch, I don't know.

She opens her bedroom door and sees Jay on her bed.

Max:
Um, what the hell are you doing?

Jay:
I thought I’d give you something good.

Max:
So, you gave me breakfast in bed?
