here's my 2nd story, hope you enjoy.

disclaimer- as I've said before I'm not JP a big clue would be that I'm a girl.


Beep Beep… Beep Beep

Beep Beep… Beep Beep

I quickly snatched up the cell phone my mom had given me from my back pocket. After saving the world she had given it to me as a present. I went to check the text message. It was from Angel.

Max, hurry we're hungry!

It read. I chuckled under my breath. I placed the cell phone back and trudged 2 steps forward. Yes, I Maximum Ride had destroyed the school, been on dangerous missions, saved the world, gotten much praising, and now was stuck buying lunch. Finally after a while I was at the front of the line ordering everything that the flock had wanted me to get, and was on my way to our new house. Mom had acquired it for us since there wasn't enough room in her house, so now we were living by our selves. It actually wasn't half bad; we each had our own room and everything. I was grateful for the extra bathroom connected to my room because after Bean Burrito Thursdays you did not want to be in a room where Gazzy had digested. Trust me.

Beep Beep… Beep Beep

I just ignored it. I mean you can only fly so fast while carrying tons of bags. After a few more beeps, one or two unanswered calls, a stick of gum, and some uncounted number of wing flaps I was finally home.

I landed in the backyard next to the huge oak. Something else I liked was that there weren't any nosy neighbors. You mostly didn't see them at all because they all worked all day long. I mean, I bet a homeless person could live there and the owners wouldn't even notice.

Once I landed I was tackled by a rather hungry looking flock. All you could here were bags being torn apart, loud munching, some crunching, and a slurp now and then. After that I started cracking up only to have them join too.

"Thank God I ate while at the restaurant," I said after my sides stopped hurting.

We moved back into the house and sat down to watch a movie. Iggy went into the kitchen to make some popcorn.

"Hey, Iggster-" the Gazman began.

"Don't call me Iggster, remember I know where you sleep," he interrupted, making the last part real casual.

"Yeah, yeah, just remember to get me my own popcorn bowl," he continued lazily.

I reclined against the back of the sofa and closed my eyes.

"Going to sleep already?" Fang joked next to me.

"Huh, oh, umm, no," I replied.

I heard a ding come from the kitchen and the smell of butter wafted through the door. Oh God, that smelled heavenly. I felt myself rise just a bit.

"Down doggy, down. Food is already on it's way coming," Fang joked again. I shot him an evil glare that quieted him down.

After Iggy came in with the bowls we dimmed the lights and settled down. I felt Fang's leg casually lean against mine, a soft sigh come from him, and a small giggle come from Angel. This just made me wander what he was thinking.

He's thinking of you

I was startled by the thought that Angel had sent me but was slightly comforted.

Thank you sweetie

I thought back. I settled down to watch the movie and stopped thinking about anything else.

The movie ended late. I mean really late. I had to carry Angel back into her room and have Fang carry a sleepy Gasman into his own room.

As I closed Angel's door my nose instantly smelled something… chocolate. I saw Fang a door down and he gave a look that sent me the message of 'I'm so going to beat you to it'. I think I ran, jumped, and maybe even flew to the kitchen to make it before Fang. I made it a couple seconds before he did and was able to see the source of it before he did. Iggy was making hot chocolate. My stomach growled causing Iggy to turn around and start cracking up. I got close to him and whacked him up side the head. He just laughed harder while clutching his head.

"Max, I'm making you a snack and here you go smacking me. You do know I could poison it or something?" he added with a grin. I was about to smack him when he held up a mug full of the hot liquid.

"I'd say don't go drinking it right away and burning your tongue like when you eat Dr. Martinez's cookies, but it might actually be fun seeing you like that," Fang said with a rare smile of his which cut me off from making a snide remark.

"Same here," Iggy said.

"Igg I hate to break it to you but you can't see," I said sticking out my tongue at him, then remembering he couldn't see (I was being slow) I flicked him on the side of his head. We all started laughing then silenced to drink our hot chocolate. Fang started snickering when ever he looked at me and though I asked what was up with him he never answered. At one point, when he thought I wasn't paying attention because I was scavenging the cabinets for small marshmallows, he leaned over to Iggy and whispered something to him. Iggy spit out all his chocolate and had a hard time keeping a straight face when I asked him what was up with him. I was getting annoyed so I hurried and drank my hot substance and went into my bedroom. I thought about listening to music for a while before i went to sleep so I snuck into Fang's room on the way and searched for the Ipod that was supposed to be my Ipod but that the whole flock had appropriated and was now in Fang's room. Some of you maybe wondering how Fang's room might look, all I have to say about it is that it is way to neat, i mean there's nothing on the floor, his bed is made, everything is in it's place, the only part that's messy are the things in the drawers in the room. Since the Ipod was bound to be in one of the drawers it was a little hard, but nothing was impossible for Maximum Ride. Once I found it, at the bottom of his desk drawer, I snuck back out of the room only to remember that I had forgotten to take one of his shirts. Now many of you may be going why are you taking one of Fang's shirts and let me tell you that I'm only doing it because his shirts are so comfy. Seriously and anyway it's his favorite shirt and that's what he gets for taking something that isn't his. I went back into my room, pulled off my jeans, and changed into my plaid pajama bottoms. I pulled off the t-shirt I had been wearing and flung it across the room when I suddenly heard footsteps coming towards my door. I was about to go for the shirt when the door swung open. Oh no, here I was in my bra, there he was in the door way, and way over there was my shirt. Great.


I hope you noted the last part as sarcasm. You guys probably know who it is that opened the door. Also i didn't know where to write this so I'll just write it here: there was nothing wrong with Max, Fang was just pretending there was to annoy her and got Iggy on in the joke.
