Max tried not to slip and fall as she was riding her bike and chained it by the McCallister fence and carried the pizza box and soda, going to the backyard. 'Don't fall this time...' she thought to herself, being very unlucky and accident prone.

Chelsea heard Max's bike and headed to the window, opening it. Max carried the pizza box in one arm and the soda in the other as she came to the best house in the neighborhood. Kevin went to Chelsea's side and saw the delivery person coming, not knowing who it was. Chelsea smiled and looked out. Max looked around, a little lost of where to go, but she did remember the third floor condition.

"Max." Chelsea whisper-shouts.

The girl heard her name and looked up. Kevin waved to her with Chelsea. Max smiled and waved back, but looked thoughtful. How was she supposed to get up there? Chelsea ran and got a rope ladder from in her dresser.

Kevin even tied some string together with a picnic basket. "Put the food in the basket!" he called to her, though still tried not to alert everyone else in the house.

Max nodded, she did that and once the food and the pop were in the basket, Kevin pulled it back up into the window. She then grabbed onto the rope ladder to get her pay and see Chelsea again.

"Just don't look down." Kevin advised.

Max grew nervous instantly. "Why does everybody say that!?"

Chelsea held out a hand to her friend to help her too. Max came up slowly and carefully, then took Chelsea's hand once she could reach it.

Chelsea helped her get in. "Hey, Max." she smiled hugging her friend.

"Chels..." Max hugged her best friend after so long. "I've missed you so much... Did I miss anything?" she then looked to see Kevin who gave a friendly smile and wave. "Wow, Buzz's matured..."

Kevin gave her a look, like being mistaken for his bully brother was a great offense. "I'm not Buzz..."

"No, Max, this is my youngest brother, Kevin." Chelsea smiled gently, pulling Kevin gently into the hug.

"Oh... Hi there..." Max smiled. "Kevin, huh? How old are you?"

"Eight." Kevin gave his age.

Max looked a little surprised, then looked to Chelsea. "How long has it been since we last saw each other?"

"Quite a few years, Max." Chelsea says softly.

Max chuckled. "We'll, enjoy your pizza, that'll be $12.25."

Chelsea handed her the money, plus a big tip.

"Enjoy it," Max smiled as she took the money. "Have a good night."

"You're not staying?" Kevin sounded a little disappointed.

"I'd love to stay, but I got work..." Max pouted.

"How about you come by tomorrow morning?" Chelsea smiled.

"Umm... Okay, what time?" Max smiled.

Chelsea told her the time.

"I'll try, I heard you guys were going to Paris for Christmas, is it true?" Max asked.

"Yes..." Kevin sounded anything but pleased about going there for the holidays, he was just going to stick with Chelsea the whole time since he didn't care for the other members of their family.

"Yeah... To be honest, I'll just be sticking with Kev." Chelsea informed her best friend.

"Oh, that's good you're so close..." Max smiled. "I was always jealous of you, Chels... I mean look at me... No brothers and sisters... Parents who were barely and could now barely be around."
