Ok this is my first story, so, be a little kind.

BTW, I do not own Max Ride, or Fang.

Total's POV

Hmm. Being in Max's arms during a long flight gives a dog a lot to think about. I knew Max had a "thing" for Fang for a while, and I'm pretty sure he feels the same way, but geez. Earlier today we stopped for lunch at a restaurant somewhere in the west. While we were there, out waitress came to take our order and when she saw Fang, her eyes literally popped out of their sockets! I had to choke back a laugh. Max grinded her teeth and looked away.

So the waitress started off by taking Fang's order first. Then she took Angel's, Nudge's, Iggy's, and Gazzy's. When she got to Max her eyes narrowed. Max decided she wasn't hungry. The waitress rolled her eyes, and lingered there for a little while. She looked at Fang, and asked if he'd like anything else. He smiled at her and said, "We're fine." And the waitress left.

It got really quiet after the waitress left, so I broke the silence and said, "Wow. Do you think she likes dogs?" Max hissed, so I just said, "Okay, okay, I'm just asking."

By the time we left for who knows where, Max was really quiet. Angel and Nudge were conversing in the back, Iggy and Gazzy discussing bombs, and Fang far to the right. It got a little boring, so, I decided to strike up a conversation with Max.

"So how would you rate that hottie back at the restaurant?" I said smoothly. Max narrowed her eyes, and hissed, "What?"

"Geez, I can practically feel the icicles coming from that statement. And it was only one word!"

"Total, I swear I will drop you if you say something stupid like that again."

"Hah! My wings are starting to grow out, so eventually, I'll be able to fly."

Max stretched her arms out with me in them.

"Ok! Ok! Geez, just trying to strike up a conversation. You looked kind of annoyed back there. But don't worry, I'll always be here for you. Well if Angel still here for you, but you get the point."

"Gee, thanks, Total. I feel so reassured." Max said sarcastically.

"Would you like me to lend my ear?" I asked. I gave my best puppy dog look.

"No thanks. I don't need it."

"Ok then. Your loss." I said. Then I snuggled tighter to Max and went to sleep.
