Max and Alex were dancing around the room together while El was looking through some of Max's magazines. "Oh, you found Ralph Macchio." Max smirked as Alex picked up one of the other magazines.

Alex smiled as she saw a picture of a girl called Phoebe Cates. Alex couldn't look away from her, she was beautiful. Max glanced at the picture Alex was looking at. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly but then smiled at Alex.

"Macchio?" El laughed. "Yeah, he's the karate kid. Hi-yah." Alex then did a karate chop in Els direction. "He's so hot, right?" Max asked. Alex glanced at the picture nodding her head to the side in agreement. "Not bad." Alex agreed.

"I bet he's an amazing kisser too. You know who is probably a very very good kisser?" Max smirked.

"Who?" El asked. Max looked to Alex an evil smirk on her lips. "What?" Alex said snapping out of her daze from the Phoebe Cates picture.

"Is Steve a good kisser? He seems like he's had practice." Max asked. "I- uh, I have nothing to compare him to... but yes, he's a very good kisser." Alex smiled widely at the thought.

"Well, i know what that smile means." Max laughed. "What does it mean." El asked. "Don't worry El." Alex insisted deciding not to give her sister the birds and the bees talk.

"Is Mike a good kisser?" Max questioned. "I don't know. He's my first boyfriend." El confessed.

"Ex- boyfriend. Hey, don't worry about it okay? He'll come crawling back to you in no time begging for forgiveness." Max comforted.

"Who wouldn't want to date my badass sister." Alex complimented. "Badass." El repeated.

"I guarantee you, him and Lucas are, like, totally wallowing in self pity and misery right now. They're like "Oh, I hope they take us back." God what i wouldn't give to see their stupid faces." Max laughed. Alex and El smirked at each other having the same idea in their head.

El sat crossed legged on the floor "Is this really gonna work?" Max asked as El wrapped a blindfold over her eyes and Alex switched the stereo to a static sound. "Holy shit, this is insane." Max smiled.

"Max." El warned reminding her she needed silence for it to work. "Yeah, quiet. I'm sorry." Max apologised. El was using her powers instead of Alex as Alex believed it was better for El to see herself as it was her situation and Alex was just along for the ride.

"I see them." El informed after a moment. "What are they doing?" Max asked moving closer to El. "Eating." El answered.

"They say we are species." El stated. "What?" Alex and Max aske at the same time.

"Emotion, not logic." El repeated. "Assholes." Alex insulted as Max exclaimed "What?" in an offended tone.

El suddenly took the blindfold off and burst into laughing. "What happened?" Max asked before all three of them began laughing together. They stopped laughing when they heard Hopper's car pull up. "Hey! Hey! When i say three inches-" Hopper yelled as he burst into the room only to see the three girls reading magazines on the floor.

"Do you knock? Jeez." Max exclaimed. "Yeah, jeez." El repeated.

"No, he doesn't." Alex answered Max's rhetorical question smiling at how El was picking up similar mannerisms to Max.

"Oh, hey. I'm sorry. I thought that-" Hopper apologised.

"Mike's not here." Max stated.

"Max wanted to have a sleepover. Is that okay?" El asked.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Your parents know about it?" Hopper rambled. Alex noticed the large bottle in his hands. That can't be good.

"That's cool. Yeah, that's really cool." He slurred.
