EDITED*

Heeeeey! So here is my first fanfic in a long time, they are ALL HUMAN! So if you only like reading about them with wings, turn around and go away.

K, so I don't like telling the characters ages and relations to each other during the story, it kinda breaks the flow. So I'm gonna tell it in the AN.

MAX-17 sisters with Ella
FANG-17 brother to everyone else on the list except Gazzy and angel
IGGY-17
ELLA-16 sisters with Max
NUDGE-16
GAZZY-13 brother to angel
ANGEL-13 sister to Gazzy
Valencia- mother to Ella and Max
Alice- mother of fang and Iggy and nudge
Anne (not from the books) mother of Gazzy and angel

DISCLAIMER: Um, if I was author, Dylan would be dead already and Fang and Max would be together. So, I don't own Maximum Ride

"Maaaaaaaax! Get your butt out of bed!" Ella's voice came ringing up into Max's bedroom from downstairs. Max groaned and pushed her face farther into her pillow. "No! Leave me alone!" there was silence until-

"BOO!" Ella popped her face in front of Max's. Max screamed and tumbled out of bed, her hair wild as well as her eyes. "Hurry! Don't want to be late for school!" Ella skipped out of the room while Max slowly got up and mumbled something about Ella, revenge, gum and hair.

Minutes later, Max emerged from her room, hair combed and shiny and attired in a purple v-neck and jeans. She carried converse in her hands as she walked down the stairs.

"Hurry!" Ella yelled as she grabbed Max's hand, her floral skirt whipping around her legs.

"Bye mom!" Max yelled behind her as Valencia Martinez shut the door behind them.

"Bye! Walk safe!" she warned them, as if her daughters were in grade 3 instead of 11 and 10. "Say hi to your friends for me!"

Max just waved and grumbles "Wait till Iggy hears I got scared for once."

Fang POV
I sat on the steps of my high school as a warm breeze swept over Nudge, Iggy, and me who were standing. We were early for school; we always were since our mom Alice Ride had to be at work at 7. School started at 8 and it was 7:30, so with half an hour to spare, we just waited for the bell to ring.

"Omigosh Fang! I can't wait till school's over! It's like, 2 weeks and wow it's hot! I should have worn a t-shirt! Instead I'm wearing a sweater… Oh that reminds me, I saw this GREAT graphic tee-shirt at Aeropostale! It was only six dollars and-"

I was about to slap my hand over Nudge's mouth to stop the relentless chatter, when our friends Max and Ella walked up. I waved and smirked at Iggy, whom I knew had a crush on Ella. He just glared back and talked to Max, his best friend. We chatted and didn't do much until the bell rang. We said our goodbyes and headed to our classes.

Max POV

I was sitting at our lunch table waiting for everyone else. My last period hadn't had any of my friends in it so I didn't really know where they were. It had been science and my other friend JJ was supposed to be there, except she was on early vacation in Hawaii. There was a week till the end of school and some kids were on early vacation.

While I was sitting there, I started remembering my elementary years. There were some things I had done that I was ashamed of, and they all included incidents with Fang. I had this crush on him ever since kindergarten, which was when our families met each other. He had had really long hair, so I dared him to cut a little bit off. He obliged, only to get caught by our teacher. She had scolded him while he had protested it was me. Then there was the other time when I was chasing him. I didn't know what I was going to do if I caught him, but anyways, I was running when I wiped out. He just started laughing hysterically, while my face burned with embarrassment. Then there was "the incident" which I won't speak of. Fang had forgotten about, because it was in grade 2 and we were in grade 11. I remembered because well, who doesn't forget the biggest embarrassment of their life?

"Max!" I was brought back to the present. I turned and smiled as Ella came up to her and slipped in beside me.

"How's it going sis?" Ella grinned
"Great little sis! How's school so far?"
"Meh, could be better. I have tons of homework."
"Don't we all." I sighed. The rest of the gang, or the flock as we called themselves, arrived and we just chatted and swallowed down the crappy cafeteria food.

AFTER SCHOOL

The whole gang was hanging out at my house, eating my mom's cookies. I had offered to make something, but was met with chorus's of "no thanks," "I'm good," and a "hell no!" from Iggy, Angel and Gazzy were dropped off at the house so we could babysit them since Anne, their mom was out on a spa day. (Don't ask.)

"Let's play a game!" Nudge suggested after we finished our cookies. At this, Iggy grabbed Gazzy and said something about making either bombs or pom poms.

Fang sighed, "What do you want to play Nudge?"

"Well, it's not really a game, more like…" She leaned over and whispered to Fang. He grinned and before I could do anything, he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder and then carried me to the bathroom so fast it was like he had wings.

"Let me go! I will sic my dog on you!" I yelled pounding his back,

"You don't have a dog." He said calmly back. Angel and Nudge just hung back and laughed. They got some rope and tied me to a chair.

"What… NO NOT THE LIPSTICK!"
