Heya! Well I'm in the mood for writing this. And it's my first time so please go easy on me.
Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own Maximum ride or any of the characters in this story. Well...maybe one…or two.
Max Pov
I swear I hate Fang, and Nudge, and Angel. And whoever else was in on this.
I was standing in my room at my moms house and Nudge and Angel were doing my make-up and hair. I was already dressed in a light green tank top with a Black Cashmere Cardigan over it. Angel was curling my hair and Nudge was putting lip-gloss on me.
"Max, Fang had no idea we were going to dress you. He just wanted the date," Nudge said to me. I'm guessing Angel had told her what I thought. Oh did I tell you? She can read minds. Shocking I know, but that's completely normal in my life.
"Angel sweetie, you know I love you, and I'm already nervous enough as it is (Yes, I, Maximum Ride, am nervous) but can you please stay out of my head tonight," I asked.
"Yes Max," She said in her sweet voice. She finished curling the last strand of my hair and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek. My little Angel.
"Okay" Nudge was finishing me up with some more eye liner. "We...are...done!" She clapped and jumped up in down in happiness, Angel joined in with her.
I rolled my eyes, thanked the girls, and made my way down stairs. I'm Maximum Ride, and I can pretty much do anything. I can fly in the air at over 250mpr. I can kick over 60 half wolf, half human eraser butts in a minute. And I can spend my whole life on the run from crazy scientist who experimented on me and my flock since we were born. We are 98% human and 2% bird. But, one thing that is kind of complicated for me is walking in these high heels! Oh, and if you haven't figured out right now, I'm half human Half bird Avian Hybrid; which means I have wings. And if you're still confused, then read the god dang books!
"Nudge! Next time I go on a date do not give me high heels!" I shouted down the hall once I got to the top landing. I heard giggling with my raptor hearing, but I shook it off. When I was completely downstairs I noticed Fang was standing there, at the door, staring at me, with his mouth opened. I mentally thanked Nudge and Angel for dressing me like this, even though I hated it.
"You're welcome!" I heard Angel shout. I heard a chuckle, and when I looked over I saw it came from Fang. Of course he was wearing black. But he looked cute in it.
"Are you ready?" he asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be," I answered. He grabbed my hand and led me out the door. We walked down the street of my Mom's house into town; I still had no idea where we were going. But knowing Fang it was probably somewhere nice. I looked up at the sky and noticed all the bright stars out, each twinkling as an individual. Like they were proud that they were up there doing what they do. And trust me; even though I may complain a lot, I am proud to be an Avian-American, to have a family full of Avian-Americans, and to have Fang.
"Max?" I heard him say. When I snapped out of my trance and took in my surroundings I noticed we were at a restaurant; part indoors and part outdoors. "Are you coming?" He was making his way toward a little table outside near one of the fancy street lamps. I fallowed kind of doing a 360 while fallowing, (force of habit) and sat down across from him.
"Outside," I nodded in approval. He looked at me and smirked.
"Well, were never alone" He said. I knew what he meant. Wherever we went there was always something out to destroy us, even when we destroyed Itex. There are all these other people that come out of nowhere, and for some chaotic reason want to kill us.
A waiter came to our table and we ordered. In about an hour our food came, we got steaks so we wouldn't attract any attention. Fang and I were talking about our past adventures the whole time.
"There was New York City," Fang said while biting a piece of his steak.
I laughed. New York is where all of this started practically, not the bird part but the being chased by Itex part. I had my first Brain attack there, my first make-over, and sooo many cookies.
"And actually going to school," I said, he chuckled. Going to a real school was the worst, everyone we trusted turned against us. "Never Again," I shook my head. I'm serious, never again will I, or anyone from my flock go to school.
"And when we split up" He said. The happy cheerful mood instantly changed to sadness. When we split up was the worst time ever. The Girls went with me and the boys went with Fang, except for Ari, he went with me too. My group went to Europe and ended up getting into a Itex School/Prison. Where I fought a kid named Omega that had no soul, Ari died, and I figured out Dr. Martinez was my mother.
"And one more" He said. He grabbed my hand under the table and held it tight, caressing it gently with his thumb. "The first time I kissed you Max, was one of the greatest moments of my life" I looked down at my hand in his and looked back up into his eyes.
"But I left you"
"But it was still special" He leaned in and kissed me on the cheek, he knew I wasn't a big fan on PDA.
We finished our dinners and left the restaurant, oddly, but not surprisingly, the waiter was staring at Fang and I the whole time with a hint of jealousy. We walked further down the street where a bunch of food stores were lined the sidewalks.
"Fang where are we going" I asked, I think I had a feeling what it was but I wanted to make sure.
"You'll see" He said stopping right in front of me. "Close your eyes and stay right here, don't move a muscle."
I did as he said and closed my eyes. I felt a bench next to me so I sat down, which went against what Fang said.
"I said not a muscle Miss. Ride!" he shouted, I laughed with my eyes still closed. A few minutes later I smelled the most heavenly scent that ever hit my nose. I practically tackled and maimed Fang for having them.
"Fang! You got me chocolate chip cookies, I love them!" I inhaled the cookies again. "Fresh baked, natural, and homemade. Perfect" I took one of the cookies off the plate and let them melt in my mouth. They were delicious. Every time Fang tried to take one I'd almost bite his hand off, but he managed a few through.
"Well" He said taking the last cookie. I pouted, so he broke the cookie in half and gave a piece to me. "One more thing to our date, do you want to guess what that is?"
"Um...flying?" I smiled; he nodded and smiled back at me. And I don't mean one of those small Fang smiles. I mean a real, wide, dazzling smile. We walked off to a dark alley, jumped on the dumpster and took off. I was first and Fang was behind me. He flew above me, are wings were practically touching each time mine beat up and his beat down.
"Are you going to put any of this on your blog?" I asked him staring up at him.
"Maybe,"
"Fang,"
"Maybe,"
"Seriously,"
"Maybe,"
"Ugh!" I sighed, short answer Fang annoyed me. "How about this, we race back. If I win you don't post it, If you do you can. Deal?"
"Deal, but no super speed" I pouted again but he looked away.
"Fine, Ready Set GO!" We raced across the skies faster than any airplane that ever flew up here. Within minutes we were back at my mom's house, and guess who won. Me! That's right! I landed on the grass pumping my arms in the air. "I won, you lost, so no blog"
"We'll see" he shrugged. He gave me a kiss on the lips and walked back into the house. I shook my head and fallowed. It was dark inside, I'm guessing my mom got the kids too bed. I walked upstairs to my room and laid on my bed. I was asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow, until I heard something I really didn't want to hear.
"Max!"
Fang Pov
I never thought I would have a night like this. Alone with Max. Though I do have to give a thanks to Nudge for making me ask her out. The restaurant was great, and so were the cookies. And in the end we flew and raced home (Of course Max wins without her super speed). I don't like that power. Anyway, now I'm in my room looking at comments on my blog.
Dear Fang,

I was just about to read some other comments when a message came up on my screen. It was an e-mail.
I never get e-mails.
I didn't even know I had an email.
Who could be emailing me? Seriously.
So I clicked the message and this is what came up:
Dear Fang,
There is no way I could post this on your blog b/c you never know whose watching. Anyway you definitely don't know me but I know you. Fang, I really need your help. I'm in danger, my family is in danger. And I don't know what to do. I would understand if you thought this was a trap, but it's not. It's the truth and if I don't get help soon I don't know what I'm going to do, please help me. I actually know you more think you think, and it's not surprising. But I'll explain if you get here. I live in New Brunswick, NJ. And from a bird's eye view you can see a forest off to the far left. When you see a deep red house near a lake your there. Please help me and my family!
- !YouWishYouWereMe!
I just kept reading over the message over and over again trying to get if this was a trick or a trap. So then I called for some help.
"Max!"

"Max!" I heard Fang shout my name. From the looks of it, it didn't exactly sound like an attack yell but something was wrong. When I opened his door I just saw him staring at his computer. What is his problem?
"Fang you could have waken the other kids. What the h..." he cut me off
"Look at this" he motioned for me to come over. I sat next to him on his bed and read this email on the screen. I read it over like 5 times. That didn't make any sense; it was obviously a trick...wasn't it? Uh, I don't know.
"That doesn't make any sense, what could she know about you," I shook my head.
"I don't know... but I'm going to find out"
"What? Fang are you serious. Why are you going to go visit a girl, at least I think it's a girl, who could be a psycho maniac for all we know!"
"I'm going. Sometimes you just have a feeling when something's right. And I don't usually have that feeling."
"But what if something happens to you, you're not gonna have backup," I could hear my voice rising and I could feel my anger getting stronger. He knows I'm the leader and my word is final, why is he going against my word?
"If you came with me I would have some backup," He faced me, his eyes pleading me to go with him. But I wouldn't give in.
"There is no way in hell I'm going, and neither are you. Fang I know your smarter than this and running off to go meet some girl would be the most idiotic thing you have ever done!" I said all of that in my firmest voice and stormed out of the room. He just sat there on his bed staring at the door.
Fang usually always agrees with me. Why would he go against my word now? I swear if he goes by himself and gets hurt... I don't even want to think about it. If anything happened to him I would lose part of myself and if I lost part of myself, the flock would lose me. I could feel hot tears running down my cheeks now. I put on my pajamas and laid there in my bed with a few more tears escaping from my eyes. Oh god please don't let Fang go...
Fang Pov
I don't know why I think this girl is right. It's crazy; I would never do anything like this. But I just have a feeling and, honestly, it's bugging the crap out of me. So my decision is final, I'm going. But Max is right, I can't go by myself. No way is she coming, and I don't feel like dealing with Iggy, Angel... I couldn't let anything happen to her, Max would freak...No way I'm bringing Gazzy after the dinner the flock just had. I guess that leaves Nudge. Nudge would be fine. I mean we've snuck out before and I have to admit it was pretty awesome. Okay then Nudge is coming with me to New Jersey.
I quietly walked over to her room since I had to pass Max's room. I gently shook her to wake her up.
"Nudge, Nudge wake up" I whispered
"Huh...what?" she said sleepily, rubbing her eyes "Fang what are you doing? If Max finds you awake you're going to get in trouble. And you know how Max is when she's in a mood she really freaks and I wouldn't want to see her like that at this time of night. Oh, by the way how was your date? I'm pretty sure you liked the outfit we gave..."
"Nudge please be quite and listen to me. Look I'm going to take a little flight to New Jersey, are you in or out."
"What are you going for?"
"I got an email from this girl saying she needs help, and Max thinks it's a trap and won't let me go. But I have to check it out."
" I get it, you want to help and that's perfectly fine, I'll come with for backup"
"I can always count on you Nudge, okay get dressed and let's go." We both got dressed and got out to the front yard. It was absolutely quite; a little quieter than usual, but it was night. As soon as we got out we both jumped into the air. Nudge was asking me a whole bunch of questions about the email, but didn't let me answer because she went onto what the girl would be like. I wasn't really listening but I kept nodding my head and stuff to make her feel better. I was too busy thinking about how much Max will freak if anything happens. I know we might be able to get back to the house if he we hurry up and get there. But if we don't come back in time then I know Max will be terrified in the morning.
I just hope I don't regret this...
