Hey world. This is my second Maximum Ride Fanfic. Tell me what your mind thinks of this story.

It's been five years since he left them. Five years of starting a new life with his new flock. Maya, Star, Ratchet, Kate, and Fang were all living together in an apartment in New York City and were enjoying life. It's been years since they've encountered any erasers or flyboys, and everyone got a bit concerned weather they were planning a surprise attack or if they just gave up. They all had really good jobs and enough money to support them. Maya and Fang have been together ever since they left the others, but almost every time Fang looked at Maya, he kept thinking of the old flock he'd grown to love. He was hoping they were safe and none of them were hurt. He wondered if Jeb found them and sent them back to the school. He could only hope they were ok.

Maya and Fang were heading back to the apartment after going to see a movie and they were talking about Jeb. "I just hope he doesn't find them."

"Fang, I'm sure they can take care of themselves. They've been through hell and back, and somehow manage to stay alive." Mayas words didn't comfort Fang. He knew leaving them was best for their safety and that they would be better off without them, but he couldn't help but think of them; especially Max. Oh Max, how he really missed her. Even though Maya was her clone, they were completely different. Once they got back to the apartment, Maya gasped and Fang clenched his fists. "What are you doing here?" Jeb was looking out the window and turned around to meet them both. "You haven't seen me in five years and that's the first thing you say to me? Funny, Max said the exact same thing when I first saw her, three years ago that is."

Why was he talking to Max? "What were you seeing her for? Were you planning to take them back to the school?"

Jeb shook his head. "The school is closed Fang. I realized how much pain and trouble I gave others like you and I fortunately had the power to end it."

"Others? You mean…there's more?" Maya asked.

"Oh yes. Many others. They are all living together in one of the houses sponsored by the school. It's a pretty big house, they seem to enjoy it. I'm sure you'll like it to."

Star, Kate, and Ratchet walked in and saw Jeb facing off Fang. "My money's on Fang." Ratchet whispered to Star. "What are you doing here?" Kate snapped at him. Jeb smiled and said. "Ah yes, I haven't quite gotten to that point yet."

"Well are you going to make it?" Star asked impatiently. It was so like her to get right to the point.

"I want you guys to live there too. That is, if you'll agree to move in. It's a really nice house. Pretty big, it's got a pool, a theater, everything you could imagine. The other kids seem to love it."

"Oh like hell where going anywhere with you!" Fang shouted at him.

Maya thought about it for a minute and said, "How do we know this isn't some trick to capture us again? How do we know if you're serious or not?" Fang looked at her in disbelief. He couldn't believe she was actually considering his offer. "Would it help if I tell you that the original flock is already there is Dr. Martinez? They've been living there for about three years." The room went silent; they were already there? How could they trust him? Fang knew Max wouldn't fall for something this stupid. "How do we know you're not lying and making all this up?" Jeb pulled out his phone, punched in some numbers, and put the phone on speaker. It rang a few times and someone finally picked it up.

"Hey Jeb!" Said an enthusiastic little voice that probably belonged to a six year old.

"Hi sweetie! Is there anyone around that I could talk to?" Jeb asked. There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds then someone picked up. "Yup?"

"Which one is this, Dylan or Carter?"

"It's Dylan." DYLAN! Dylan was there? How could Dylan be there without the rest of them? Unless the rest of them were already there…

"I'm trying to get some new guys to come live with us where they can be with others like them; can you please tell them it's not a trap."

There was laughing on the other end and someone was talking to Dylan in the background. "Guys, I know Jeb has a bad history in being believed but trust me; this is no joke. This place is truly amazing. Jeb's not pulling your leg on this one, he's serious. Can I go now?"

"Just don't bring back another raccoon!"

"THAT WAS MAX NOT ME!" Jeb laughed and hung up on him. Then he looked at the group's shocked faces. "Wait, so…this is a real offer?" Star asked and Jeb nodded. "Don't you want to see how everyone's doing? How much they have changed? See how they have the normal lives they always wanted?" Fang trailed off into his thoughts as the rest of this group asked questions. He did want to see them, but he wasn't sure how they would react to his sudden appearance. He missed them all, especially Max, but he couldn't just go back to them and say 'Hey remember me; the one that left you guys alone? Yeah can I crash here with you guys for the rest of my life?', well he could but it wouldn't be right. Fang really didn't know what to think. "Can you give us time…to think about it?" Jeb smiled at Fang. "Of course Fang. When you've reached your dissection, call me." Jeb handed Fang a business card and left. Maya was the first to speak out. "I think we should go." Everyone else seemed to nod in agreement. Fang still wasn't convinced about all this. "I still don't know about all of this." Maya could tell he was tense about this so she wrapped her arms around her neck and started rocking back and forth. If anyone could make Fang change his mind when he was stressed or tense, it was Maya. "Oh come on Fang, it could be fun. They have a home theater, we could watch all the movies we want and it wouldn't cost us anything." She started kissing his neck, "What's the worst that could happen? We get ambushed by a bunch of erasers? We could fight them off. Please?" "Let me think about it, okay?" Maya nodded and went to the room she shared with Fang. Fang rubbed his face with his hands and sat down on the couch.

Over the next few days, Fang made a list of pros and cons of moving to this new house. He hated to admit it to himself, but he had a lot of pros. He pulled out his laptop and opened his picture folder. He was looking through all the pictures he'd taken when he was living with the old flock. Gassy and Angel playing outside; Iggy cooking in the kitchen; Max and Nudge arguing about giving Max a makeover, which would never happen. Max was about 15 in this picture, looking as great at ever. Her tan flawless skin was shining in the sun, her light brown hair up in a messy bun, and her tongue sticking out at the camera. It would be nice to see them again. He made his final decision; he pulled out the card Jeb gave him and typed the number in his phone. It rang a twice and he picked up. "Hello?"

"Hey Jeb, its Fang. Listen…where exactly is this wonder house of yours?"

Is it good? I have some really good ideas for this story. Review Please!
