A/N: ... I always thought that Katniss and Max would be friends. I've been searching for a good fic where their two stories intertwine but I can't seem to find one yet. Until I find one, I wrote something. It's pretty terrible since I couldn't think of anything, but at least I tried, eh?

And I may have screwed up with the verb tense— I kept changing it from present to past and back to a point where it seemed kind of fuzzy.
... Er, I think there's a spoiler for Angel: A Maximum Ride Novel in here. It's not much but... yeah.

For the 100 themes challenge (variation one), this is 44. Two Roads.

Brown locks onto gray as the two girls look at each other, wondering where the hell they are and how the hell they got there.

Their senses scream get out! They know that they had tumbled into the wrong world. Maximum didn't need the voice to tell her and Katniss needed no reassurance. They just knew.

They're not supposed to be there. They shouldn't be face to face, staring at each other. They shouldn't even be anywhere near each other. They shouldn't be in the same year, the same world, the same dimension completely. The scary thing?

They are.

Both Max and Katniss know never to trust anyone— your friends, your soulmate, your own flesh and blood... they all can turn on you. And you know what they say, 'anything that can go wrong, will'.

That's why they're so frightened. They feel that... maybe... they can trust each other. They feel as if they're connected somehow, like their hearts are literally beating at the same pace.

Maybe it's because they are so similar?

Well, not really similar. Katniss is the heart of a rebellion, Max is trying to save the world. Katniss has gray eyes and dark hair, Max has brown and light. Oh, and Max has wings but... they're trying to overlook that.

Yes, maybe it is because they were so similar.

Sarcastic. Caring. Strong. Leaders.

They're even both part of lopsided triangles that leave them so terrifyingly confused.

They've both lost someone they love: Angel and Prim.

They're both being threatened, for, if they don't succeed, their world (the right world) will take the damage.

…This is definitely the wrong world they're in. Everything seems... too happy. Innocent, even. And they're still not supposed to be next to each other.

Confused beyond belief, the two girls do the only thing they can think to do.

"Uh... my name is Maximum Ride."

"I'm Katniss Everdeen."
