The Future is a Strange Place

(Warning! Many of you might think this story is VERY cliché. It most likely is. But I enjoy writing my own version of it! Yay cliches!)

Me: Fang. Please do the honors....

Fang: -Sigh- Mz. Random Awesomeness does not own Maximum Ride or any of the characters except those not seen in the actual books.

Me: Right! I'm not telling you the character names for two reasons!

I have not thought of all of them yet.

It would spoil the suspense!!!!

Fang: -raises hand-

Me: yes, Fang?

Fang: Are you gonna fill this story with random outbursts like you did in Viva La Vida Loca?

Me:.....maybe......

Fang: just asking.

Me: Moving on! I have a few people to thank for being just....AWESOME.

And that's about it....I think.....Anyways on with the story before I add a random outburst and annoy Fang. Which would be fun. But I'm not gonna do it.

Fang: Thank you.

Me: You are welcome.

Max POV

The Flock, (Me, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, Angel...) were in a forest near the mid-west, around the Ohio, Michigan area [I live in Ohio!!!! Yay!!!!] in front of a fire. I was lounging next to Fang, my head on his shoulder. I know, I know. Gasp! You go with Fang now, Max?! Why yes. Yes I do. And I love it! In case you guys didn't read the last book, which was named after yours truly, we kissed multiple times, went on a date and everything. So here's some advice.

Go read the book.

Anyways, Nudge and Angel were playing hand games. Gazzy and Iggy were whispering about something I'm sure would come back to bite me in the butt. Total was....being Total.

"Max," Fang said. I turned to him, and suddenly his lips were on mine. Cue speeding heartbeat.

His hand stroked my cheek softly, leaving a tingly/ burning sensation. I ran my fingers through his hair, his soft, good smelling hair--

That sentence was weird. This is what Fang does to me. Makes me think things that shouldn't be thought and me thinking those things, makes Angel laugh and/or giggle at what I thought that I shouldn't be thinking in the first place. So basically thinking while making out with Fang is a bad idea. But you guys know my head is a very dangerous place. Including the Voice aka Jeb in my head.

Back to kissing Fang.

His hands were at my waist now, bringing me onto his lap. He started rubbing soothing circles between my wings, making me sigh in content against his lips. We pulled back for air.

"Get a room! Or at least go in a secluded part of the forest!" Iggy said. I blushed hard and Fang said,

"If you don't like it, don't listen."

"I can't help it, Romeo. You know you guys better slow down before we have little chibi Maxes and chibi Fangs running around."

"Uh, Iggy? What is a chibi?" I asked.

"Ugh. You are so incompetent..." he mumbled. "Chibi means child in Japanese, Max."

"Oh. And how do you know this....?"

"My sources....."

I don't even want to know.

Maximum.

Oh Great! It's my bestie Voice! What's up, pal?

You're going to have a slight surprise, soon.

Do tell.

...

You know what? I didn't even expect you to answer. Just go away....jerk!

Fine. But don't say I didn't warn you!

I felt his presence leave my head.. Yes! I took a look at my flock, seeing them all with tired expressions on their faces. I figured we could go to a hotel. Yeah, everybody wanted to give us all of these safe homes and Mom wanted us to stay with her, but my instincts said to hang out, be homeless for the time being, then after I feel safe and that nothing is after us, go chill somewhere. Like with Mom! That ought to be fun.

"Hey guys," I called. They all looked at me. Iggy looked in my general direction.

"Wanna go to a hotel?"

"Ooh ooh ooh!!!!! Yes!!! I would so love that Max! That would be amazing!!! And we could go swimming and just relax and watch TV and sleep in comfortable beds under blankets. Can we go to a fancy one? Like the Hilton? Maybe Paris Hilton will be there! I love her! She's so cool and has tons of money and wears pink all the time, and her catch phrase is, 'That's hawt,' OMG!!! Let's go there!!!"

"Nudge. We can't afford the Hilton and I doubt she'll be there. But let's find one near this area and stay there a couple nights. At the end of this week we're going to Mom's!"

I heard different types of approvals go around our little campfire. We put out the fire, packed our bags, and spread our wings, flying over the city of Cleveland, Ohio, in search of a hotel.

(Awesome Invisible Line!!!!!)

So we found a hotel. Quite a comfy looking one if you ask me. Well, until the creepy cashier hit on me. That was weird. And Fang didn't like it too much either. Here's how it went.

Flashback!!!! Cue cloudy borders.....

We walked up to the counter, and unfortunately, there a was guy, about my age there. He had brunette/ reddish hair, hazel eyes. He was trying way too hard to be cool. He was leaning on the counter with one hand, trying to look at me seductively.

"Hi," I said.

"Sup?"

"Can we get three rooms, all conjoined please?"

"Sure cutie. How many beds in each?"

I looked at Fang, he grinned. Meaning, one for us, two for the others.

"Um, two beds. But one in one room."

"Kay. That'll be 56.87. And uh, he your boyfriend?" he asked me, gesturing to Fang.

"That's none of your business,"

"Then you wouldn't mind if I asked you out?"

"Yes. Yes I would mind. Can we please just have the keys?" This guy is annoying me, I thought.

He handed me all the room keys and brushed my hand a little longer than he needed to. Fang was glaring at the kid. Trust me, if looks could kill, he'd be way past dead. I thanked him and we went up to the stairs, avoiding the super claustrophobic elevators.

End Flashback!!!! Take away cloudy borders.....

Which brings us to where we are now. Walking up the stairs. I gave Nudge her and Angel's key and Gazzy him and Iggy's key. Me and Fang found the room with one bed. I said I was gonna take a shower. He nodded and said,

"Don't use all the hot water in the building," Smirking.

I glared at him, then took my bag into the bathroom with me. When I came out, Fang was already asleep on his stomach, taking up the entire bed! Way to go, Fang.

I crawled up on top of his back and just laid there. Since he decided to take the entire bed, what better place to sleep than on him?

"Max, what the heck are you doing?"

"Sleeping. Shhhh...."

He chuckled. "Max, I'll move over. Get off me!"

"No, I'm comfortable. Go back to sleep."

"Max,"

I faked a loud snore, just to annoy him. Hehe!

"Max, I know you're faking."

I just fake-snored louder.

"Max! Get off me!"

"Huh? What?" I slurred waking from my fake sleep. He laughed.

"Dude, get off me! You're too heavy...."

"Oh come on. You know you like this...." He paused.

"....Max get off before I roll over and you land on the floor."

"What, you don't like me being on your back?"

"No. You're hurting my wings."

"What if I massage them for you?"

Another pause....

"Maybe...." He finally said.

I sat up and straddled his back again, but sort of closer to his legs because his wings were so darn big!

I slowly rubbed my hands over his wings, feeling him loosen them up a bit. I did special work on where his wings met, a soft spot for all of us. The second my hands went there he groaned,

"Max, you should be a masseuse,"

I laughed. "For who? All of the Bird Children and Adults all over the world?"

"Yes. More specifically, me."

I laughed again. "Just enjoy it,"

And I guess he was because he moaned. I chuckled. After about 10 minutes, I noticed he wasn't even awake anymore. So I laid on top of his back again, and soon fell asleep myself.

MORNING

"Should we wake them?" I heard someone whisper.

"No, definitely not. Let them sleep. They look so cute together! I'll send you a mental image, Iggy,"

A few seconds later, I heard,

"Well that isn't exactly how you're supposed to 'do it', but I guess that works too."

I turned my head and saw the whole rest of the Flock in here, looking at us. Gazzy with a disgusted face, Angel and Nudge with 'How Sweet!' and 'Aw!' faces, Iggy....very simple. A smirk.

"What are you talkin' 'bout, Iggy?" I slurred. Then I realized, that the bed was a little hard and feathery. Aka Fang's back. Nice, Maximum...

I blushed and sat up quickly, rolling onto the 'Real' bed. This made Fang wake up.

"What's goin' on?" He asked, sleepily.

"We just saw you and Max all snuggled up together." Nudge said.

Fang looked at me, who was sitting on the bed Indian style, hands in my lap like a good girl, and smirked.

He sat up too and quickly kissed my cheek. I blushed again, Angel and Nudge giggled.

"Alright alright, who wants breakfast?" I said, taking on the leader position, yet again.

"ME! OMG I'm so hungry. Really really hungry. They say when you go to sleep on an empty stomach it's bad and gives nightmares. Well, I went to sleep with a empty stomach and I had a nightmare! And it won't get out of my head! So I figure if I eat something that'll make it go away. Makes sense right?"

We all just stared at her.

"So, back to breakfast, let's give Iggy a break and go eat downstairs in the little cafe thingy thing. Then after an hour we can go swimming, then whatever."

They nodded and we headed downstairs to eat.

More goes on in the next chapter! Trust me! REVIEW!!!!!! PLEASE??? PLEASE??? I'LL GIVE YOU CANDY!!!!! Well....I don't know how you'll get it but....Okay virtual candy. How's that?

Fang: Way to go, Cara. Give em candy they can't even eat.

Me: Hey! You can't be giving out my government name like that! I have people looking for me! Well....more like cops and SWAT looking for me...but you weren't supposed to do that! You know my name's a secret!!! You've ruined my life!!!! -cries hysterically and runs around in circles-

Fang: -Stops Cara from running in circles by putting out arm, hitting her head making her fall to the ground-

Me: Ow!

Fang: Pull yourself together!

Me: -sniffles- Fine.

Fang: I'm sorry I gave out your government name.

Me: It's ok Fangy. -Huggles-

Fang: -Huggles-
