AN: Enjoy the story. Remember to Review. I like bad reviews because it helps me to be a better author, so don't hold back.

Disclaimer: I so wish I could just say that I could claim this. But I'm not James Patterson.

Chapter One

Max's POV

I and the flock are in New York.

Why? Because it's my birthday!

No one in the Flock knows there real birthday because we spent most of our live in the school. Just in case you decided to start with the 5th Maximum Ride book instead of the first one (for some weird reason), I'll break it down for you. The School is this creepy, sick, disgusting, experiment lab. It's filled with all of these freak scientists that run experiment on little kids, or babies, or even babies that haven't been born! They turn them into mutants or Erasers (wolf people), and make them evil. But this scientist went good. He helps us escape and took us to his house and took care of us. But then he disappeared and we thought he was dead and- you know what you can read it yourself, I recommend it.

Back to what I was saying, No one in the Flock knows their real birthday but we made some really good guesses. Mine is today on April 22nd because its Earth day and who doesn't like the Earth. Gassy's was a few days ago on April 1st, we went to the carnival for his birthday; he picked that day cause he can pull all the pranks he wants and not get in trouble. Iggy is on the fourth of July- why you ask-because he can blow up anything he wants and not get in trouble. Last year he used 8 of my favorite shirts to make a huge bomb that he shot off in the roof of the hotel we we're staying at. Nudge is on valentines because she just loves the idea of people falling in love on that day. Angel is on Christmas (I wonder why) and she get double the presents. And Finally, Fang's birthday is on the imaginary day of December 35th because Mr. Emotional doesn't want to celebrate his birthday. What's his problem?

Now back on topic, today's my birthday and I and the flock flew to New York. We're in this really cool five star hotel, how, well lets all thank Angels mind powers.

Anyway everyone bought me presents and I'm just about to open them. I opened Nudges first. "Oh Max I hope you like, no- I hope you love it. I spent a lot of time looking for it. It wasn't cheep to ok; it cost a lot of money. I think it was like 35 dollars. I mmmmmmm-"Iggy covered Nudges mouth. Thank god! I opened the present and-. OMG it was a diamond necklace. Its fake diamonds so stop looking at me like that.

"I love it thanks!" We hugged.

Next was Angels. "I hope you like it Max." Angel said. Thank God she didn't go on and on about her present. I opened the present and it was matching earrings for the necklace!

"Oh Angel that's so sweet, I love it."

"I'm glad you like it Me and Nudge picked it out together." Angel said.

Next was Totals. Now I bet you're thinking why the guys last, it's like your avoiding there presents.Well I am. It's because the guy always get me sucky presents. Just wait you'll see. I opened Totals present. It was a dress from this fancy Italian shop at the Mall. The tag was still on it, $105!

"Thanks these are the best presents ever!" I said hugging all three of them. Now here comes the bad presents.

I open Gassy's first because he usually gets half decent presents. He got two shirts."I love it Gassy." I said not really meaning it.

Next was Iggy's. He got me a bomb. "Oh I just love it; it was exactly what I wanted." I said almost sarcastically.

Next was Fang's present. I wonder what he will get me?

AN: You can Make up what happens in the next chapter. What will Fang give her it's your choice . Review.
