Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride!

Chapter 1:

"Let's go!" I heard my mom yell.

"Coming!" I yelled back.

"Just a second!" Ella, my sister, said.

We were going on this fancy cruise ship for summer vacation. We were going to be there two weeks. I think? Not sure.

"Maximum! We are waiting on you. Ella is already done." Mom said.

"Almost done!" I answered while stuffing the rest of my clothes in my suit case.

I ran down the stairs, taking the steps three at a time. My mom was already waiting in the car. I ran through the front door and locked it on the way out. I put the suit case in the trunk and jumped in the car. It was a two and half hour drive which gave me time to think.

By the way, my name is Maximum Ride. I'm an average sixteen year old girl with average golden brown hair. The only thing perfect in my life was my family, my mom and Ella.

I step on the cruise ship to smell a wonderful ocean breeze. Ella grabbed me by the wrist and dragged me to the elevators. Just before the doors closed my mom quickly ran in the elevator with our luggage. Ella excitedly pressed the number nine for our floor. I watched the numbers go by 2... 3... 6... 7.. all the way till 9. Ella was jumping with excitement the whole way up till mom told her to stop.

"What number room are we?" Ella asked.

"928." Mom answered.

Ella stepped out of the elevator and looked down both hallways, then ran down the right hallway. I ran after her. I have to admit she was pretty fast but I was faster. As we were running, I bumped into a boy as he was walking out his room.

"Sorry!" I yelled and continued down the hallway.

Ella finally stopped at a door that had the number 928 on it. I pulled out a card and unlocked the door. Ella ran in and squealed. The room had two queen sized beds, a 42" flat screen, an epic balcony, a small coffee table, and a big closet. There was more, way more but it will take too long to describe. The walls were painted light blue and there were little waves at the bottom that were painted dark blue. Mom walked in and dropped all the luggage in the room.

"Thanks for the help." she muttered as she handed Ella a card to the room. "You guys can go have but be back here by 6."

We both nodded and walked out the door. Ella and I going our separate ways. As I was walking I didn't know what to do. There were too many things to do. I decided to go to the lobby to see what the activities board said. Laser tag on floor 12. Yes! I am so going to dominate. I ran up the stairs, too happy to wait for the elevator.

When I got to the room, there weren't that many people. Then I saw him, It was the boy I ran into earlier. He was tall and had tan skin, jet black hair and dark, mysterious eyes. I went up to him to apologize to him. When he saw me, his eyes showed a slight look of recognition.

"Hey, I wanted to say sorry to you for bumping into you earlier." I said.

"S'okay."

"I'm Max."

"Fang."

Wow. This guy doesn't talk much. He wasn't even saying complete sentences. A girl came up to Fang and said," Fang you're gonna be on my team. I want..."

She cut herself off when she saw me.

"ZOMG Fang! Who is this? I'm Nudge. Well my real name is Monique but everyone calls me Nudge because they have to nudge me to be quiet. They say I talk too much but I really, really try not to talk too much. Now enough about me. What's your name?" she said.

I can't believe she said that all in one breathe. I must of had an astonished look on my face and blinked it away.

"Max."

"Is that short for something? Like Maxine. Maxine is a pretty name I ... mmpghmgphemhpgh" she said but was cut off by Fang putting his hand over her mouth.

"It's short for Maximum." I answered.

She nodded and Fang took his off of her mouth. Before we could say anything, she grabbed mine and Fang's arm and dragged us off to a corner in the room.

"I want to introduce you to The Flock. That is the name of our group." Nudge said.

"This is Gazzy." She pointed to a boy with bleach blonde hair and the lightest blue eyes I have ever seen.

"Angel. Gazzy's twin." She pointed to a girl with curly blonde that hugged her face and the most beautiful blue/green eyes. She smiled at me.

"And Iggy." She pointed to a boy with strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes. He also was slightly paler then the rest. He got up, grabbed my hand, and kissed it.

"Nice to meet you milady." he said. I cracked a smile. I decided that I liked this guy.

"Enough Iggy." Angel said.

He whimpered and sat down. Angel rolled her eyes at him.

"Want to be on our team?" Gazzy asked.

"Sure." I answered.

The instructor came in and gave everyone a vest and gun. He lead us into a dark room.

"The game will begin in thirty seconds. Be prepared." he said.

This should be interesting, I thought.

Alright, well that was the BRAND NEW first chapter! Woooooh! I edited and fixed it up a bit. There were many mistakes that I found. Well, I hope you guys liked it. I'm working on the second chapter. It should be up later today. Adios amigos!
