Hello, loyal readers! This isn't actually a comedy story, which is what I'm used to writing, but it's Maximum Ride, so there will be some parts that will make you chuckle. (or so I hope)

Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride. If I did, I don't really think that I would be sitting holed up in my room on my laptop, I'd probably be, oh, I don't know, writing the sixth book? Anyway, I do own a few characters that will be added in later, and if you try to steal them from me, I will be forced to rip your spine out and beat you with it, in a vert Max-like fashion.

So, enjoy. Flames are welcome, but I only want constructive criticism. So...REVIEWREVIEWREVIEWREVIEW!!!!! Thank'ee very much, kiddy kats.


There really is nothing better than flying in the early morning, especially when it's with the person you love more than your own life.

I caught an updraft, my wings working powerfully, and glanced at Fang.

He was watching me, the ghost of a smile playing at his lips, and I grinned. Fang's face lit up, and he coated a little closer to me. I reached up and took his hand.

"Maybe we should head back," Fang said. "They'll be getting up soon." I shrugged, enjoying the feeling of the warm Arizona wind blowing through my hair and warming my cheeks.

"Okay." I began to turn around, when I heard the faintest noise, coming from south, southeast. I paused, hovering in midair. Fang looked at me, confusion in his eyes.

"What is it?" he asked, but I shushed him, putting a finger to my lips.

"Wait." I said. I cocked my head to the side, trying to decipher what the noise was. In all directions, I could see nothing for miles. Only desert, and the occasional town. Yet the noise was getting louder and louder, and undoubtedly coming closer and closer…

Suddenly, I saw it--a streaking bullet, coming directly towards us. My eyes widened, and I knocked Fang out of the way, and we both began plummeting towards the ground.


Okay, I know this one was really short, but I needed something to get the ball rolling. The following chapters will be longer, like, a bazillion times longer, I promise. I'm not sure when I'll be able to get the next chapters up though, because I have to go to my little sister's birthday party later tonight, and then tomorrow I have a cubic butt-ton load of homework, and church and youth group, so I will try my hardest, but I doubt I'll get anything up until Monday. But like I said, I will try my hardest.

So, R/R kitties! Me likey the reviews!
