Max lead the way as him and Zack walked up to the guest bedroom. Max
sat the end of the bed and Zack sat next to him.
Zack looked up at Max, and he looked troubled about something.
"Uh...What did you want to talk about Max?"
Max became interested with his feet for a moment, and then turned back
to Zack. "Look Zack...I over reacted back at our house. I was jealous
of you Zack."
Zack was taken aback. "Jealous...of me?" he repeated.
"Yeah, I was jealous that you were spending so much time with Mark,
and I wasn't able to. You guys were having a good time being stuck
together while Mark and I never really had time to be together that
way. Seeing the two of you like twins...that just pushed me over the
edge. I'm sorry." Max finished, and then looked back at his shoes.
Zack also looked down at his shoes while he reflected on what Max
said. After a few moments, Zack wrapped an arm around Max. "You
know...I was always jealous of you and Mark."
Now it was Max's turn to be surprised. He looked into Zack's eyes.
"What do you mean?"
"I was jealous of how close the two of you always were. You two were
conjoined twins without your powers. I had no one like that. So...I
would act like a little kid to get your attention. I...I thought that
was the only way I would be able to hang around you guys. Being stuck
to Mark made me really happy. It made me feel like your guys's little
brother." Zack had tears running down his cheeks at this point.
"Oh Zack" Max embraced Zack in a hug. "I'm sorry we treated you like
that. I'm so sorry."
While they were holding onto each other, Zack could feel himself slip
into Max. He felt his left side disappear into Max's right. Their
heads were now sitting on a single body. He looked up at Max confused.
Max smiled at him. "Mark can wait. I think its our turn to have some
fun together."
Zack grew a smile from ear to ear. "Really?"
"Really! But first...you have to show me how you and Mark turned into
twins." Max smile also grew ear to ear.
