A young teenage boy stood in a public space in Amsterdam and was looking around searching for something. Once he found what he was looking for, he gave a head nod and headed towards the man he knew all to well.
"Tim, we meet again." He told as he joined up with the man and the two fist pumped. "Great to be back in Amsterdam. Love this town."
"Hello, Maximilian. Do you think you can at least try to get along with this foster family?" Tim asked him, making him look around before looking back at Tim.
"Who's Maximilian?" He asked making Tim sigh as he realised what he had done.
"Sorry. Max." He corrected making Max give a nod to signal he's accepted it and he could continue. "No more 3:00 am hip-hop concert. No more bubble wrap under the toilet seat. And no more stray dog stampedes."
"I--" He began before Tim cut him off.
"I mean it!"
"I didn't have anything to do with those dogs."
"Then how did they get in the house?" He questioned making Max give a slight shrug before he started to speak again.
"Maybe they had their own key."
"This is your last chance. Im all out of families. If it doesn't work out with the Hunters, you're gonna have to go to Blackfriar's." Tim informed him, making him panic at the name.
"The orphanage? I hear they serve nothing but gruel seven days a week."
"That's not true. They serve it six days a week. On sundays, you go hungry." He joked, only for Max to not realise it.
"What?"
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding. It's not that bad. But I guarantee, the Hunters' is nicer." Tim told before getting his phone out. "Now, if I could only find it..."
"I'll guide you." Max told as he showed his phone to Tim.

The two rode on the same bike through the streets of Amsterdam, going towards the destination that Max was leading them to. Of course, Tim took this chance to inform Max on his hopefully new forever home.
"Erik and Kate have taken in four foster kids already and they all get along great.
"I'll try to try. Take a right here." Max told making him do so and the two soon passed across another bridge.
Of course when they came to a stop at Max stating they had arrived, Tim was confused on what they were looking at.
"This isn't the house." Tim pointed out.
"It's not?" Max asked as he looked at the destination on his phone before looking up again. "Must be something wrong with my phone. But, hey, since we're here, how about some fries? Your treat."
Tim shook his head at Max being his usual self before the two headed to get some food before actually delivering Max to the Hunters house.

At the house Max was to live at, a young boy in a lab coat quickly made his way into the deemed wreak room with two different soft drink bottles for a new experiment he was doing.
"Come on, hurry, Sal!" A girl called in said room before Sal rushed in and placed them in their spots in the sunk in table that had plastic over it to help with the mess.
Of course behind the young girl with goggles on was a young teenage female who was reading and book, and an almost male adult who was lifting some weights, and behind the phone that was about to record the experiment was another teenage female with blonde hair put into a bun to reduce the risk of getting anything in her hair.
"Now, Sal? Can I do it now?" Anika excitedly asked.
"I'd say no cause he's in the way." The girl with the blonde hair stated towards the energetic girl.
"Take it easy, Anika." Sal told as he went to make sure the camera was all sorted for it before going back over to the table. "We have to do both bottles at the same time.... We need somebody else."
"Why can't Sav do it?"
"Still banned after the rocket situation still." She admitted making her nod before Sal got a smile and looked towards his older brother.
"What do you say, Daniel?"
"I'm working on my own project." He told with a smile making Sal look towards his older sister.
"Tess?" He asked only to make her look up and gave a look saying no.
"Why do we need somebody else? Just do it yourself."
"Because that's sacrilege, Anika." Sav joked.
"I can't. I need to record the results for later analysis."
"Oh if only you didn't confuse me and that bottle didn't explode when it was dropped, I could've helped." Sav playfully sighed making Anika chuckle before Erik walked in to see what all his children were doing.
"What are you monsters up to?"
"We're doing an experiment." Amika told with a smile.
"Trying to. I need another research assistant and Sav is still on that temporary band." Sal pointed out making Erik look to the girl the the camera.
"Two more months and then I'll be off camera work till the next mistake." She told making him give a nod before looking back at the youngest two in the room.
"What kind of experiment?"
"Carbon dioxide reactivity." Sal quickly told,
"We're gonna see which sods shoots higher, normal or diet Colazzer." Anika added.
"You want to do this in the house?" He questioned the three as he put his hands on his hips.
"For science?" Sal questioned hoping it'll work.
"Besides, we've got the tarp down to try and contain the mess." Sav added making Sal and Anika point to her in agreement, making Erik start to chuckle.
"Sounds good to me!" He told before he rushed over to join in on it.
