-FANG-

I sat on the black leather sofa next to Gazzy. Iggy was pacing in front of us all. Any other time, I would have laughed inwardly, but, I couldn't really blame the guy.

The Martinez's were adopting a girl named Maximum Ride. She was apparently a tough case, and had been abused her entire life.

So, yeah. Everyone was pretty stressed.

"Do you think she'll wanna go shopping? I love to go shopping! I saw the cutest black tights in the window and the Gap, with one knee hole ripped out. Speaking of which, Fang, how many more rips do you need in your jeans? There's a difference from looking chic, and from looking Goth. And you've crossed the line. Anyways I had the best pickle-ham sandwich ever! It was just so amazing and wonderful! I love the word wonderful! It's so cheerful and happy!" Nudge ranted.

"Nudge. Shut up." I said.

Nudge is actually my twin sister. It's ironic. You've got me, tall, dark and silent- and then you got her. The bright, bouncing ball of giggles and squeals.

Gazzy is actually the Martinez's foster son. He was adopted when he was fifteen, and he had actually been abused a couple of times. I remember staying up with Iggy, making sure he wouldn't run away. The dude was creative, you gotta give him that.

Iggy is their actual flesh and blood son. He and Gazzy make bombs all the time. They're a little frightening at times.

A knock rang throughout the house and Valerie Martinez rushed towards the door. We all shut our eyes in anticipation.

Mrs. M's voice floated towards us and we opened our eyes.

"We hope that you'll be comfortable here, and if you need anything, feel free to ask,"

Three people walked towards the living room and soon they were standing there, right in front of us.

The girl, Maximum Ride, had long dirty blond hair with a red streak set through. She had caramel brown eyes full of anger, hate and fear. She was tall with scars covering her arms. She wore a white spaghetti strap shirt and a pair of ripped black skinny jeans. She also wore a necklace that was a ruby stone in shape of a tear drop. The necklace had two crystals for wings connected through it.

"Max, these are my sons, Iggy and Gazzy, and these are our neighbors, Fang and Nudge." Mrs. M smiled.

She looked us over, her face showing no emotion.

"Everyone, this is Max."

"Hey," Iggy smiled. He took the warning signs in and knew better than to touch her in any way.

I just nodded. Gazzy said hi.

Nudge grinned and then began talking, "Oh my gosh! Your Max! you're so pretty! I love your red streak! Where'd you get it done? I want to get something like that, but with pink! You'd look so pretty in pink! We can go shopping, do each other's nails an-"

"Shut. Up." Max said in her eerie with drawn voice.

MY LITTLE NOTE!

Hey, I wanna thank Water of Silver for letting me complete her story, as well as redo it! Sup girl?

Anyways…. I hope you guys will review, and I want to do a few things differently, so I'm not just copying and pasteing cuz I hate it when people do that.

So yeah.

Ari is still nice, Rowan and the gang are still evil, and Rowan still had an accident.

PEACE OUT!
