A/N: Hey guys! This is my first FanFic, so please don't be to harsh while reviewing! Hope you like, thanks and enjoy!

Disclaimer-I do not own Maximum Ride. *tear*

Free. Finally the world had been saved and we were free to do what we wanted. It seemed almost impossible that Itex would ever be defeated. Now we just have to find somewhere to stay, theres just endless possibilities. And right now we're in New York.

"Max," I heard a voice above me.

"Max, I'm hungry!! Can we stop? Cause we haven't eaten in like, forever!" Yep, that's definitely Nudge.

"Yes, Nudge, we can stop to eat somewhere soon, just be looking for anything that's not too expensive." They were always wanting to eat at these really expensive restaurants, but, we didn't know if the MaxRide card would ever run out.

Soon enough we found a Denny's to eat at. Yeah, I know, breakfast for dinner, whoopie! Although I must say that their waffles are very good.

I walked up to order the food.

"Yeah, um, I'll have six waffles, two large sodas and three orders of bacon." The man looked at me like I was crazy. Just wait till he hears Fang and Iggy's orders haha.

Once we all ordered we sat down in one of the booths. Fang sat next to me with that oh-so-familiar impassive look on his face. Would it kill him to show any emotion?

"We should find a place to stay, a permanent one," he said. If we ever had a nice house of our own, that would be great. Then the flock could settle down for a while, we had been on the run too long and now that Itex was defeated, I wasn't really sure where we were going.

"That sounds good, but… where would we find a house? We can't just stay somewhere for free…" I put my head down in disappointment.

"We'll find an abandoned place somewhere, we should go look tonight, we'll stay in a hotel for now, but later we'll go look."

"Ok, that sounds good."

After we had finished eating, we were filled up and ready to find a hotel. Angel and Nudge used their bambi eyes on me and I gave in. We were going to stay at the Marriot that was close by. I didn't really care where it is, I just want a nice hot shower.

Fang's POV

We walked up to the counter at the Marriot so that we could check in. I looked over at Max. She was so beautif-No I mean, yes, Max is beautiful, but, things have been awkward with us lately after I had kissed her. If only she wouldn't fly off…

I then came back out of my thoughts and looked at Max again.

"Yes, I'd like three rooms that are next to each other if you can do that," she said.

"Sure, whatever you'd like babe," the wimp gave her a cheesy looking smile. I clenched my fist and put my arm around her waist.

"She's not interested," I gave, 'Jerry' as his nametag said, a death glare.

"Oh, and who are you? Her boyfriend?" he actually thought he was going to win this battle.

"No we're just-" Max started but I cut her off.

"Yes, I'm her boyfriend, now just give us our rooms," with one more glare, he backed down and told us our room numbers. No one calls my Max 'babe'.

He handed me the room keys and we silently walked down the hall to the elevator.

"Fang… you can… um… take your hand off my waist now…" her voice trailed off.

"Oh… sorry," I looked down as our flock gathered into the elevator.

Max POV

When we got in the elevator, I was thinking about Fang. Why had he said I was his girlfriend? I looked up and caught him looking at me too. I felt my cheeks start heat up and looked away.

When we got off the elevator, everyone except for Fang and I, was trying to calm down, I guess I had been too busy to notice that we had actually taken an elevator. Claustrophobia was something we did not enjoy.

We stood in the hall and I started to hand out the room keys.

"Alright heres how it is, A-," but it was too late because I was cut off… again.

"I call rooming with Angel!!" Nudge screamed so loud that the people walking by us almost had a heart attack.

"I want to room with Iggy!" Gazzy said. Sigh, they were probably going to make bombs all night.

And before I new it, I was staring blankly trying to figure out what happened. I was empty handed except for my own key and everyone was off to their room. Guess that leaves me with Fang.

We quietly walked to our room, the whole time my cheeks were red and I could not look up at him. Why am I acting like this? It just Fang… I only like him as a brother…

"Sure you do," my oh-so-wonderful Voice chimed in.

Just shut up! Wow I must really be going crazy; I'm freaking screaming at a Voice in my head.

"Maximum, now that Itex is destroyed, you can do what you please. But you do like Fang. You were made for each other."

What? Fang and I were made for each other? I don't see that as possible, we're only best friends. I sat down on the one of the two queen beds in the room and tried to think of other things besides Fang. It didn't work, everything I ever did involved Fang, I lay there and thought about how maybe our friendship was turning into something more.

A/N: I won't be greedy so all I want is just 1 review! I'm also open to suggestions for the next chapter, so please let me know what you think should happen!
