Daniel: Daniel shrugged. "Well, it wouldn't be very cool of me if I had forgotten, being your boyfriend and all." Despite his nonchalence, Daniel was grinning and his eyes were shining. Daniel was happy to make his girlfriend happy, and was happy when she was happy. Besides, seeing a dolphin out in the 'wild' like this was really cool.
Meanwhile, the curious dolphin swam warily towards River.
Max: Max gave everyone in the group of students a slight, curt nod of greeting.
OOC: Here it is! (might have some dates wrong, sorry)
Both of Max's parents were twenty and had served two years in the military after signing up straight after high school when the Gulf War began in 1990. Both of Max's parents, Lieutenent David Patterson and then named Private Grace Callahan went overseas to serve in the war until its end in 1991. Upon their return, the military funded both of their college educations. A few years later, Grace was diagnosed with cancer that doctors suspected she picked up during her tour overseas. In love with Grace and feeling desperate, David asked Grace to marry him, and she accepted. They were married, and Grace battled for another year before she beat her cancer. Soon, Max was born, and they were happy. Grace taught seventh grade and David was a weapons specialist. When Max was three, it was discovered that Grace's cancer was back. Grace fought for a long time, but finally when Max was four she passed away. Max was the one to find the body and realize she was dead first, something that not even her father knows. After her mother's funeral something broke within David. The same year, in an unrelated incident, their house in San Francisco, Max's birthtown, went up in flames. Max and her father survived, but they soon moved to another state. Max's father absorbed himself in work. Wanting to make Max into the girl he thought her mother wanted her to be, David became obsessed with perfection, and started his army-like disciplined regime in order to make Max perfect. When it didn't work and Max and David fought on her eighth birthday, Max was sent away to boarding school. At first, Max was good, but utterly depressed. Sjhe briefly took up bad habits before she realized that getting detention made her feel okay, and so her quest to make trouble began. She has not trired public school since, and still is at war with her father.
