Jessica, at the time being, was sleeping somewhere deep inside her own mind. Susie was running around at the moment, acting as a typical six-year-old, even though the body she was using was nearly 10 years older than her. Luckily for Susie, Jessica was fit enough to keep up with her rapid pace of movement and speech.
At this moment, Susie payed no mind to anything or anyone. The world before her was one giant blur, a variety of colours and shapes as she raced past everything. She dodged between people, wove her way between buildings and trees, all the while keeping herself out of people's way. The wind blew in her face as she ran, keeping her cool a bit. Susie paused for just a moment at the garden to grab a bottle of water that she had set at the entrance. After a quick swig, and a catch of breath, Susie was off again.
A long time ago, Mrs. Gilford had suggested that Susie lose some of her energy that coursed through her by running. Thus, she wouldn't be so jittery. Every time Susie had come out, after Mrs. Gilford told her this, the first thing Susie did was take a nice, long run around the school grounds a couple times. After that, it just depended on what she felt like doing. Some days when she was out, she would draw pictures, or colour from a colouring book. Other days, she would try to help people out, and by help, it really just meant giving her a simply task to stay out of people's hair.
Susie had made her way towards the beach, running faster than she had before, keeping her head down. Then the next moment, her head was aching, and she was on the ground. It took her only a couple of seconds to realize that she had ran into someone, or something. "Ouch." she muttered to herself as she stood up, glancing towards the ground. Surely enough, someone was lying there. "MAXI!" she screeched once she recognized him, falling to the ground again so she could hug him. "Maxi, I'm sorry, I didn't see you! I had my head down, like this, see?" Susie quickly stood up, then went back into the position she was in while running. "And so I didn't see you. Is Eggybert okay, I hope he's okay, we can take him to an Apollo kid if he isn't!" She spoke rapidly as she held out her hand to help Maxi up.

It was another one of those nights/early mornings where Maxi was fighting with Morpheus and losing. He growled and barked, even tried to do a crocodile "death roll," only to find himself bound up in his sheets like a mummy, which was always a bad thing.
"Grrrr gotta...gotta catch 'em," he muttered in his sleep squirming and trying to flail his limbs, only to find himself unable to move for the sheets.
"YIPE!! They gots me! Eggbert!! NUUUUUUUU don't make me sit still DADDDDDDDY D!!!!!" He shrieked still sound asleep, which evidently his siblings were used to since the only reply had been a muttered "Shuddup Maxi," from somewhere in the house, promptly followed by a loud chainsaw like snore. Maxi squirmed and rolled until he managed to fling himself right out of bed and onto the floor. His eye popped open huge and wild panicked he tore out of the sheets, which had loosened in the fall enough to allow the skinny boy's frame to escape unhindered. They weren't however, loose enough to prevent him from leaving his sleeping shorts and boxers behind, not that he noticed.
He grabbed his stuffed bunny Eggbert and tied it around his neck and bolted out the door muttering, "Gotta get them all before they get me, gotta gotta catch them all,"
Wild eyed and aimless he tore through the campus as naked as the day he was born. Only slowed ever so slightly by a couple of security harpies, who soon discovered what the wrath of a stuffed bunny can feel like when wielded by Maxi. The ugly chicken women soon gave up pursuit as he ran over a nymph and satyr as the had a..."private" moment. The nymph shrieked and melted back into her tree, while the satyr bleated scared and confused, before trying to "macho up" and chase the one boy hurricane that had just ruined his "happy ending". All the while Maxi kept muttering, "Gotta catch 'em all. Gotta gotta catch 'em all," almost like the little engine that could.
He exploded across the beach with a speed even Hermes would be proud of until a girl ran head first into his narrow chest sending them both to a sandy crash, except she didn't have Eggbert fall first staring up at her, as her butt met his eyes. Maxi sat down hard on the stuffed bunny's little bronze eyes, his own about jumping out of his head as he shot up like a rocket bellowing
"OWIE OWIE OWWWWWWWWIE BAD EGGYBERT NO BITING MY BUTTOM," he danced around like his pants were on fire...had he been wearing any, until he tripped and fell butt first into the surf.
"Ahhhhhhhhh," he cooed as the cold water extinguished the flaming pain in his butt. "Must more better Eggbert. Much more better," Looking around, he was utterly confused as to where he was or what had just happened, it took a moment for him to recognize who he was looking at. "IT'S JESSIE-LADY! HI JESSIE-LADY!!" he waved so fast he almost knocked himself further into the surf.
"Eggybert hurt? Nahhhhh Eggberty was being a meany face and bit me on the buttom. Seeeeeee," he rolled over on all fours, he but raised proudly in the air, wiggling it a bit before sitting back down in the cool wet sand.
"Does Jessie-Lady think 'pollo peoples can fix my buttom? Eggbert put a crack in it the meany face," He stared at the stuffed rabbit as if listening to it's reply. "Oh you did so, that crack wasn't there before, I know cuz I checked," he made a face at the rabbit then looked at Jessica, turtleing his head to the side like a puppy.
"Whatcher durin?"

Susie couldn't help but wrinkle her nose when he called her Jessica. Jessica was another girl's name, she was Susie. Susie Frengood. "Silly Maxi, I'm Susie, remember? What's wrong with you today, did I hit your head by accident?" she asked him, grinning at the older boy, even though Jessica was two years older than the boy. Though to Susie, he was older than her. Everyone was always going to be older than her.
"I'm sure they can fix anything. Who's the best healer though? Surely you should know." she said to Maxi as she sat down next to him, taking a moment to breathe. She started to draw a sloppy heart in the sand. "I've been running. That's why I ran into you in the first place! What about you, what were you doing?" her green eyes stared into Maxi's, looking for an answer behind his crazy eyes. She didn't seem to care that Maxi was crazy because she was just as crazy as he was.
It was then that Susie took notice of Maxi's lack of clothing. She gasped. "Maxi! You're going to get in trouble! You need to wear clothes, it's the rule, and you're not wearing any clothes, so you're breaking the rules!" Susie quickly stood up, grabbing Maxi's hand and pulling him up. "Come on Maxi, lets go put some clothes on you so you don't get in trouble." She then started to walk, not caring at who saw her. All she knew was that everyone had to wear clothes, and that you could get in a lot of trouble if you didn't wear clothes while running around school all day. And Susie believed that Maxi didn't deserve to get in trouble. Hell, she thought he deserved a little bit of slack, since he was loony in the head, after all.
"Can we stop and get Jirachu? Eggybert and Jirachu should go on a playdate! That'd be so much fun, wouldn't it be?" By Jirachu, she was talking about an ancient teddy bear that was in one of Jessica's drawers so that Susie could have as a "comfort toy." "Jessie puts Jirachu in her drawer, and no matter HOW many times I write in her journal to not do that, she won't listen to me! What do you think I should do, Maxi? Jirachu doesn't deserve a drawer as his home. He's a human being, just like you and me! And I surely wouldn't want to be stuffed in a drawer! Anyway, how can I make Jessie stop doing it?" That's Susie for you. Too innocent to know any better that Maxi and Eggbert was probably the worst people to go to advice to. "And we should go pick some grapes too, since running around makes a little girl like me hungry." she giggled, continuing to hold his hand. Susie had learned to hold people's hands so she wouldn't get lost, and neither would Maxi.

Jessica was babbling again about something Maxi had no clue, and really could care less, so he let her yap on like some annoying little dog.Oooooo NEW GAME! Maxi thought grinning like an idiot.
He dropped Jessica's hand, falling to all fours in the shallow surf, with Eggbert's legs tied around Maxi's neck, so the bunny could ride his neck like a cowboy. He splashed around in the water barking like a dog, wiggling his butt as though he had a tail. Maxi the Puppy was going to be a fun new game, he could run around and splash in the water without having to worry about silly old clothes or getting in trouble.
Jessica has shrieking something, but Maxi the Puppy didn't talk people talk, all he did was run around and play all day. Getting cold from the water, Maxi scrambled across the soft grass, shaking is whole body just like a wet dog trying to get dry, knocking Eggbert upside down on Maxi's neck.
"Arf arf bark," (translation: "How'd you get down there silly bunny,") Maxi turtleed his head trying to figure out how to get Eggbert back right side up, with out doing the people thing and using his hands, that was against the rules in his new game. getting an idea Maxi fell on his side trying to roll around in the grass and get the bunny back where he belonged. It was more difficult than Maxi thought, but he managed it in the end. Rolling in the grass also had a fortunate side effect of helping dry off; the unfortunate side effect was the fact that Maxi was now a muddy mess.
He sat up blinking the world back to where it belonged panting with his tongue out. Then he seemed to remember Jessica was still there, not looking happy with Maxi the Puppy at all. Without a second thought Maxi bounded across the grass, pouncing right on Jessica barking and yipping happily as he knocked her on her back.
"Yip yip arf woof," (translation: "Good Game, huh Jessica,") Maxi said happily giving her the biggest puppy dog eyes he could, but Jessica didn't look like she was having fun with the new game at all.
