P.S.- this is the setting after MR2

MAX'S P.O.V

"MAAAAXXX!!! IM HUNGRY!!!" Nudge whined for the fifth time in the last 1 hour! Ugh sometimes being the leader can really have its draw backs!

"I know Nudge! You have been whining about it for the last hour! And for the last time we are almost to my mom and dad's house. It will only be another 30 more minutes!" I said a bit of anger in my voice.

And yes if you're wondering the Flock and I are going to my mom (Dr. Martinez) and my dad (Jeb)'s house for a while. He called us here so that he can talk to us about the saving the world crap again! I was kind of getting really tired of it but whatever destiny a waits!

"Ok Max but as soon as we land and say 'Hi' to everyone I am so going to get something to eat!" Nudge stated.

"Ok, ok!" I was starting to get a pretty annoyed now.

I looked back at my Flock: Iggy, Angel, Nudge, Gazzy, and Fang. Fang had been awfully quiet this who ride which was not unusual for him but still I was worried about him.

"Fang?" I asked flying up to his side. We were so close that the tips of our wings were touching. It sent my heart into flutters. Well I mean I was allowed to feel that way because after all he was my boyfriend! I smiled inwardly at the word.

"Yeah?" He asked sounding impassive. This again was not unusual for him.

"What's wrong? You haven't talked since we left California! " I asked him in my no- nonsense voice.

He smirked at me before asking "Is it unusual that I'm quiet?"

"Well, no It's just---" I started.

"MAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I was cut off my sister Ella screaming my name. I looked down and then realized that Fang and I were the only ones flying right past the house. We quickly did a U-turn and landed right on the drive way with exceptional grace if I do say so myself. Since we were on the ground we folded our wings in and not a second after I did Fang took my hand and we entwined our fingers with each other. Of course these simple gestures my heart skip a beat and made my cheeks turn a little pink.

"Ella, Mom, and Dad I missed you so much!" I said. I reluctantly left go of Fangs hand and went over to hugged Ella and then my parents. The rest of the Flock followed my lead except for of Fang. He just said 'Hi' to my parents and Ella. They were ok with it because by this time they knew Fang wasn't a huggy type of person.

"Max, can I go get something to eat yet…IM STARVING!" Nudge pleaded.

Before I could answer my mom did for me "Well of course you can get something to eat sweetheart. What about everyone else?"

Everyone else Nodded and starting following my mom inside, I turned around and started walking when I felt Fangs strong arms come around my waist and pull me toward the swinging bench right outside my mom and dad's house. We the front door shut, I turn to Fang about ready to demand what he was doing and then realized my face was so close to his that I could feel his breathe caressing my face. My heart stopped and I drew in a gasp of surprise. He smirked at me, which soon turned into a grin. A full out grin!

He stared deeply into my eyes for god knows how long. After what seemed like hours he closed the space between our lips and kissed me. He tilted his head to deepen the kiss. One of my hands was tangled in his dark black hair and the other on his chest. His hands were on my hips. I had no Idea how long we stayed there but we finally broke apart panting heavily. He smiled at me and I couldn't help but smile back. I put my head on his should and his arms snaked around my waist and pulled me closer to him, in fact we were so close you couldn't even fit air between us! We sat in a comfortable silence for a while. Fang finally broke it though.

"I have missed holding you like this!" He said a bit of relief in his tone.

"And I have missed you holding me!" I smiled at him and he looked into my eyes.

"Max…I love you…more than words can even describe!" Fang said without losing eye contact with me. I gasped a bit shocked because he had never said it before. This must have been why he was so quiet when we were coming here. And of course as if reading my as a book he guess what I was thinking.

"And yes since you are wondering, that's why I was so quiet since we left California. I had been thinking about the perfect time to tell you that I really do love you and I guess I just couldn't wait anymore." He said.

I stared at him for a long time trying to read his eyes and they finally told me that it was true and he really did love me more than words can describe. He looked at my with the face of 'are you going to say anything'.

"Fang…I love you too!" I said making his smile even brighter. I couldn't help but smile! I remembered when we became 'official' as Nudge called it but I didn't like to put labels on things except for the fact that I was the leader and Fang was second in command.

**Flashback**

I was covered in scraps and scratches. We were flying toward a cave after just being attacked by flying Erasers on our way to California from the School in Florida. We were about 5 hours away from Florida in god know what state. We decide to settle in the cave and examine any injury we had. It wasn't that bad but we were tired too so I thought it would be a good time to stop until we got to California.

Fang and Iggy went to get fired wood, while I got the place set up for the Flock to sleep. I threw a blanket at everyone and they set their place on the ground. Nudge and Angel were next to each other with Total in between them, then Gazzy and Iggy (Gazzy set Iggy's up for him) next to each other across from the girls and Total, I set up Fang and I's blankets closet to the opening of the cave making sure the kids weren't at the opening.

"Max I have a cut and its bleeding, can you get the first-aid kit for me?" Angel asked in her sweetest voice possible.

"Of course sweetie! Come over here." She walked over to me as I pulled the first-aid kit out and bandaged her up."Anyone else have any thing I need to bandage?" I asked in my tell-me-now-or-you-will-kill-you-if-i-find-out-you-didn't-tell-me. I had gotten that tone every since Ari slashed Fangs side about a month ago and he almost died on the beach. I didn't feel like going through that again!

"I have a cut but all I need is a band-aid. Can you pass me one?" Gazzy asked.

"Sure thing," I said "Anyone else?" I passed Gazzy one the band-aid. "Nudge what about you?"

She shook her head. "I don't have anything that's bleeding…..just a couple of bruises and scratches but nothing bleeding." She stated.

"Ok." Just as I said that, Iggy and Fang walked back from getting the wood. They both started the fire. I checked the Flock over for what damage had been done but Angel scratch was the worse. We stacked fists and the Flock (minus me and Fang). We took the first watch.

"So Max I have to tell you something…" Fang said after a long silence.

"Um Ok sure. Fire away." I said kinda nervous but I had no idea why! i saw something in his eye that I didn't recognize!

"Max….I think….I….um……like you more than a friend or sister.." He looked at me and I saw a twinkle in his eye.

Gosh I did know what to say! I mean I have known Fang for a LONG, LONG time. I mean for god sake we grew up in freaking dog crates together! And we were tested on over and over and over again. Not to mention I had seen him every day of my life since I was like two. I didn't know if I felt that way but then again maybe I did because that the weird feelings I had been having with every touch and smile and gesture he and given me lately and getting all jealous over the Red Haired Wonder. AH I just didn't know what to do or say! I was snapped out of my own thoughts when we kissed me on the lips. I froze at first and then started kissing him back. My brain shorted out and I couldn't think. All I could do, think, or feel was kissing him and feeling his body against mine. When we pulled apart I was panting and then blushed when I realized he was panting too. I had made up my mind based on the kiss we had just shared!

"Fang…I like you too!" I smile and saw him smiling back at me.

"So this means yours my girlfriend now?" he asked with a smirk on his face now instead of a smile.

"Um Yeah? And you're my boyfriend?" I asked still shocked that I didn't realize I liked him sooner! God I was such an idiot!

"Of course!"

That night I fell asleep in his arms.

**End Flashback**

"Well that's good!" he told me.

He kissed me lovingly on the lips now. He tongue slipped into my mouth and began to explore as I did the same. Then we were forced to stop when I heard the front door open. We regained our posture when I saw my dad come out.

"Max, Fang lunch is ready!" my dad yelled.

We got up from the swing and went inside where our plates where set next to each other. I inwardly smiled.

"SOOO…." Ella started "what took you two so long out there?" she teased us. When my parents weren't looking I shot her the bird. She stuck her tongue out at me and I left it at that!

We all sat down for lunch and everything was quiet when my dad started talking.

"Ok so I have called you here because I have heard some rumors that there is an Itex near here but no one knows where it is, well except the people who work there of course. They also hold some very important answer for you that I would like you to find. I have a feeling they will be help full but I don't know exactly what they are. Oh and any other thing….you will have to go to school according to the government laws. And the school that im talking about is the one Ella goes to. She said to blend in at this school you must join a clique. I have chosen one for each of you and the principle says that he will make those classes available for you so you stuck with what I chose."

Ok so I know I'm evil to leave it at a cliffy on the first chapter but I wanted to get the first chapter up. Thanks and REVIEW PLEASE! :]
