Okay, the fics in this are in NO particular order, they do not go along with each other...a couple might and if they do it'll say part 1 and part 2 and so on and so forth. So, this is the first one I'm posting, the next one will probably have nothing to do with it, other than the Maximum Ride part.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Maximum Ride or the song Thunder. I did however make the memories.

"Faaang!" Max cried as she spiraled downward. I looked to Nudge.
"If we don't come back in ten minutes, come down, other than that, stay up here." I said and darted toward the Earth. Dark clouds rolled in and a bolt of lightning hit somewhere below me. The booming thunder, right above me, beat on my eardrums. I watched with narrowed eyes as Max fell faster and faster to the ground, I was moving fast enough. She was dropping like stone, so fast the wind swallowed her screaming, terror filled, cries for help. I winced as she hit the ground and prayed to God that she was okay. I landed two seconds later and felt tears come to my eyes when I saw the big puddle of blood forming behind her head. Her mouth was slightly opened and her eyes were closed. Her heart was beating slower than usual.
"Fang." Angel's gentle voice came down from ten feet above me. Her, Nudge, Iggy, and Gasman landed and circled around the nearly lifeless girl. I swallowed back all my tears, all my sobs and cries.
"Nudge, go get some water. Gasman, cut some strips that we can use to sop up the blood. Ig, can you trim down a stick to a needle?" I ordered. He nodded. "Do it. And Nudge, go get some little thread-like things from under the bark of a tree."
"And what are you going to do?" She asked.
"Whatever the hell I want, now go." I said fiercely, but regretted it directly afterward. But there was no time to apologize now. I started giving Max CPR to keep her alive while everybody was getting done what was to be done.
"Here are some cloth strips." Gasman said and handed me some long, thick, strings of cloth. I quickly wrapped them around Max's head, fully covering the wound caused by a jagged, pointed rock. I continued to give her CPR until Nudge and Iggy had the threads and needle done. I'm not really that great at sewing, but Jeb taught us all how to effectively make stitches. Once I got her stitched up and re-wrapped, and as close to stable as possible, I sat down with the rest of the flock around the fire.
Today's a winding road that's taking me places that I didn't want to go
I stared into the hypnotizing glow of the fire, thinking about Max, hoping she'll be okay, and wake up soon. It started to storm again, so the rest of the flock went inside our little make-shift tent to go to sleep, I took first watch. I drug Max out from the rain and under a tree, making her a comfy little bed of blankets so she'd stay warm. The more I thought about her the more memories I had of her.
Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer, do you know your unlike any other?
"Aw, what're you gonna do? Tickle me?" Max laughed.
"Hmm, now I am." I said smugly. Her smile slightly faded as I lunged at her, positioned to pinch her side. When I did she jumped and squeaked.
"No! Fang! Stop!" She squealed and ran away from me, laughing.
You'll always be my thunder
BOOOM
Another clap of thunder.
"Ugh…why must storms always occur when they are least wanted?!" Max groaned in frustration, staring out the window at the Belmont Hotel. I sat down in the small chair beside her and looked out at the gray sky.
"Because, they know they're unwanted and they just want to annoy people?" I tried. She laughed and turned to me.
And I said, your eyes are the brightest of all the colors. I don't wanna ever love another, you'll always be my thunder.
BOOM
Ari is the worst, most despicable, most horrible person…mutant…THING on THIS PLANET! I thought as I slowly made my way towards Max who was lying motionless on the forest floor. Ari just attacked. Max's eyes were closed. I fell to my knees beside her, and her eyes popped open and she quickly got up.
I love Max's eyes. They're so beautiful. They may just be brown, but they're the most gorgeous shade of brown I've ever seen. They shine, when she's happy. When she's mad they're cold, icy. But still completely stunning, and attractive. Her eyes are her best quality. So is her hair, and figure, and smile, and…everything.
So bring, on the rain. Bring on the thunder!
BOOM
The rain started to fall harder. Hitting the leaves, sounding like small footsteps in the trees.
Today is a winding road, tell me where to start and tell me something I don't know. Today I'm on my own, I can't move a muscle and I can't pick up the phone. I don't know…And now I'm itching for the tall grass, and longing for the breeze. I need to step outside, just to see if I can breathe. I got to find a way out, maybe there's a way out. Your voice, was the soundtrack of my summer, do you know your unlike any other?
"Who wants to play freeze tag?" Gazzy shouted. Everyone but me and Max shot up and shouted "ME!".
"Aww, come on guys." Iggy said to us. "Just one game." I rolled my eyes and finally agreed, after Max did. I didn't want to be left out.
"TAG! YOUR FROZEN!" Nudge exclaimed as she tapped me on the back. "Now, either Max or Angel can unfreeze you! Ha!" Max started running towards me, and when she was an inch away from me, Iggy tapped her on the arm.
"Don't move." He said. So, Max and I stood there, frozen, her face inches from mine, and her hand almost touching my chest. A few minutes later Angel came charging at Max and hit her on the back. She was unfrozen, but she lost her balance and toppled over on top of me. We fell to the ground and started laughing.
"Your unfrozen, too, now." She giggled.
I lover her laugh, too. It's so sweet and cute. And it's adorable when she laughs so hard she starts snorting.
I sat down beside Max and lightly touched her stomach.(To make sure she was still breathing, you perverts.) I laid down beside her, hoping she wasn't in a coma.
"Your eyes, are the brightest of all the colors. I don't want to ever love another. You'll always be my thunder." I sang to her quietly. Even though she couldn't hear me. "Strike me now with lightning. Let me feel you in my veins. I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain."
"What if I lose one of you again?" Max asked no one in particular, although, I was the only one there.
"You won't." I said promisingly.
"You don't know that!" She snarled. She fell into my lap, crying. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound mean." She cried. I wrapped my arms around her.
"It's okay." I whispered soothingly.
….
"I'm tired of this! I'm tired of running! Of fighting for my life! Of…"
"It's okay, Max, calm down. We're all tired of it." I said.
"Yeah…but…I just can't take it anymore! I'm about to kill myself!"
"Don't do that…don't even SAY your going to do that. Or I'd kill myself." I embraced her and held her close. "Or I'd die purely from missing you so much." I whispered in her ear.
"Fang?"
I opened my eyes to see Max looking at me. I smiled slightly, glad she woke up.
"Fang, what happened?" She asked.
"You fell. And hit your head. Hard." I said. She sat up slowly.
"I feel that." She said, rubbing the back of her head. I sat up beside her and hugged her tightly. "Um…what was that for?" She asked.
"Because your okay." I released her and grabbed her shoulders. "And I love you." I quickly pulled her into a kiss.
"I love you, too." She whispered when I pulled back. I smiled and hugged her again.
So, did it suck? If so, how bad?? Tell me in a review! BTW BOYS LIKE GIRLS RULLLLLLLLLE!!
