[Max](9KPFB49P) always thought he wasn't very smart. He was big for his age, and he felt clumsy and misunderstood. When he'd get frustrated, he'd stomp around and sometimes kick things, but no one really seemed to understand him.

One day, while walking to school, [Max](9KPFB49P) spotted a familiar face. It was [Freak](B4MG67JS)! He remembered him from daycare—the kid with the leg braces and fierce determination in his eyes. [Max](9KPFB49P) had been angry back then, but [Freak](B4MG67JS) didn’t seem to mind.

Back in class, [Freak](B4MG67JS) was always the first to answer questions. [Max](9KPFB49P) was amazed by his big words. 'What does that mean?' [Max](9KPFB49P) asked, and [Freak](B4MG67JS) would patiently explain, like a detective sharing secrets.

One day at lunch, some older kids started teasing [Max](9KPFB49P) about his size. Before [Max](9KPFB49P) could say anything, [Freak](B4MG67JS) stepped up. 'Picking on him just means you’re afraid of him!' [Freak](B4MG67JS) declared, making the bullies stomp away in embarrassment.

[Freak](B4MG67JS) wasn't just smart—he was brave too. He called their duo 'The Dynamic Duo.' 'We’ll figure out the impossible together!' [Freak](B4MG67JS) said excitedly. [Max](9KPFB49P) smiled. For the first time, he didn’t feel alone.

They started a secret club, solving small puzzles around the neighborhood. [Max](9KPFB49P) felt special when [Freak](B4MG67JS) called him ‘the strongest detective in town.’ Together, they fixed problems and made people smile.

[Max](9KPFB49P) learned that being strong wasn’t just about muscles. With [Freak](B4MG67JS)’s help, he felt brave and smart too. 'Strong and smart together!' they’d say every day, ready for their next challenge.

[Max](9KPFB49P) and [Freak](B4MG67JS) were more than just friends. They were a team—and together, they could do anything. 'Brains and brawn,' [Freak](B4MG67JS) said with a wink. [Max](9KPFB49P) laughed. 'Unstoppable!'
