A/N: I 'adopted' this from Lucianna Demoncia, so quite a bit was written by her. I had to tweak it a little bit in later chapters because it was too long for my Microsoft Word to hold...no joke. It's weird but it was.

It's been two years since Max 'saved the world'. Long story short, there were several explosions – courtesy of Iggy and Gazzy – and the School etc being exposed.
Iggy and Nudge live together. I still don't know why Ig hasn't gone deaf yet! Angel and Gazzy live next door on either side of Ig and Nudge. Max and I live across the street. But not how I really want it. I don't know who I'm kidding with the whole 'I-don't-care-about-anything-really' image. To cut another long story short, I like Max. Heck, I think I love her. But I can't just tell her. She'll freak. And that would not be good.
The main reason I'm writing in this journal is so I don't explode. I don't tell anyone how I feel. It's better that way. But if I write it down, I can get it out of my head. Just for a while.

God, why did I let Angel talk me into this? Then again, her mind-control probably helped. So now I'm writing a journal.
Anyway, I 'saved the world'. It mainly involved a few of Gazzy and Iggy's 'creations' and exposing the School and the rest of the whole whacked up group. Oh yeah, Iggy and Nudge are in happy-la-la-land, a.k.a in love. They live across the road from me and Fang. Angel and Gazzy are on either side of them. It's sad that, even though I saved the world, the Flocks parents didn't want them back. The Griffiths practically begged Iggy to come back. But he flatly refused to go anywhere near them. And I don't blame him.
So, what am I supposed to write in a journal? Aren't I meant to put down secrets and stuff? Well, if I am, then I guess I'd better do my biggest one; the fact that I am in love with my best friend ever and fellow mutant bird-kid – Fang. I'm sure he's not in love with me. It's hard being in the same house as him. God, I'm being so girly. Uh. I'd better stop writing before I turn into a Barbie.

I almost walked in on Max in the shower this morning. Luckily, I have mastered the art of entering and leaving rooms silently. So when I opened the door and heard her singing I backed out sharpish. I'd never tell her, but Max has a beautiful voice. Seriously. If she wasn't a mutant bird-kid she could be famous. She even looks like a celebrity. Her hair is long and kind of golden. Her tan wings look like gold as well, when the sun catches them. And…I'm turning into Nudge. Only I'm rambling about Max. Incredible, indestructible, gorgeous Maximum Ride. I'd love to call her mine. But she's like a wild horse. She may stay with someone, but no-one could ever own her.

I've decided to write a poem. I know I'm sixteen and poetry can be really sappy but hey. This came to me, well parts of it, while I was flying last night.'This lady in white
Is tired of the fight
Always waiting
Always wondering
Bound to this day
By demands, secrets, lies
It goes against all of her family ties
This lady in white
Fell in love with the Night
But the Dawn came and stole her away
Trapped in her dress
By a corset and silk
Both purest white
White as the bone
Indestructible hearts
Living apart
Open wounds slowly healing
Vices are squeezing
Eternity is closing
Freedom is offered
A chance to escape
Night takes her hand
Going, going, gone
The Dawn wakes to find
His false love has gone
Fled to the embrace
Of dark handsome Night
Joined by love and by flight
It's only right.'
I've just noticed that the first letters of some of the lines spell I LOVE FANG. That was a total accident. But it's true. I do love him.

Oh my freaking god. Iggy and Nudge are getting married. And all of the Flock are invited to the wedding. It's great for them. But being there will tear me into little pieces. Cause I'd do anything to marry Max. Even just to be able to tell her I love her every day would be enough. But I never will. Anyway, Max is forcing me to go with her and Nudge to get dresses and a tux. How dumb will I look in a tux? Max'll look gorgeous in anything she picks out. She'd look fantastic in a sack. Not that she'd ever wear a sack. One of these days I'm going to get up the nerve to tell her that I love her. Fighting Erasers is easy compared to the thought of doing that. And if I do, and she rejects me, I'd probably kill myself. I'd rather not be here at all than know for certain that Max will ever love me.

Fang almost walked in on me in the shower the other day. He thinks I didn't notice him come in but I did. But I was so caught up in what I was singing that what happened didn't really register until now. God, I can't believe I didn't remember until now.
But more importantly, Nudge and Iggy are getting married! And all of the flock are invited to the wedding. Me and Nudge have roped Fang into going shopping with us. How dumb will I look in a dress? Fang will look way hot in a tux and break my heart. Hold on. I did NOT just write that Fang was hot. Oh well. It's my private journal. It's not like he'll ever read it. Besides, I am head over heels in love with him. Yes, that's right. Maximum Ride has officially entered happy-la-la-land thanks to Fang. If only he felt the same as I do. Oh, that reminds me. I wrote another poem. It came to me while I was online, so I scrawled it on a post-it. Here it is:'It's no good saying if only
Cause if only's can't come true
It's no good saying I wish
Cause wishes just won't do
And I would do
Just anything
To have you here with me
Tonight
Is a night of stars and magic
We can really reach the moon
If you take my hand
And fly with me
Then I'll believe in you
If I believe in you then
Dreams really do come true.'
Actually, thinking about it, this is more of a song verse than a poem. Maybe I should sing it. I know Fang plays piano. And guitar, keyboard, drums and just about every other instrument. Apparently that's his skill. Not just instruments. He can pick up anything and know how to use it. Kind of like Nudge, really.
Back to the point. Maybe I can convince Fang to write some music to go with it. Hopefully he won't realise that it's mainly about him. Heck, I hope he never reads this journal. If he finds out about it, I'll have some serious explaining to do.
Oh, I forgot. The only reason Nudge is old enough to marry Iggy is because of her new time-travel power. She can freeze time and travel around in it. But if she travels forward and doesn't concentrate hard enough, she ages the amount of years she's traveled. And vice versa, it also uses up a lot of energy, so she doesn't use it very often. But when she realized she was in love, really in love, with Iggy, she traveled forward far enough so that she was the same age as him. So now she's sixteen. Like me, Fang and Iggy.
Credit for those goes to Lucianna Demonica. All I did was copy and paste. Lol. These are the same as the ones she has posted, I felt no need to change this.
