ONE FANG IS NEVER ENOUGH
Hey all. This is my first fanfiction, so I'm hoping it'll go well. I wrote this story for you guys, so try to enjoy it!

It was the greatest feeling in the world. Most people only dream about being able to fly- but this, this was definitely real. Max stared at the breath-taking scene before her, almost forgetting to keep her wings moving.
Just below her feet a sea of green rose and fell; the trees silent in their timeless beauty. The forest was so captivating, and the gentle breeze blowing at her golden hair added to the serenity of the moment.
Max closed her perfect hazel eyes and stretched her arms toward the cloudless night sky. Her wings froze, and for a moment she lay suspended, looking like an angel. Then she dropped. Air rushed past her, and she didn't dare to move- even her heart seemed to stop mid-beat.
The ground was quickly coming up to meet her when Max's eyes suddenly snapped open, and a split second later, so did her tawny wings. She was abruptly pulled backwards before hovering just inches above the smooth mirrored surface of a large dark lake. Max looked at the reflection and her flawless complexion stared back at her, as if confused.
It was a cool and cloudless night and the stars showed as shining beacons of light on the water's surface.
Here she could lose herself. Here, maybe for just a moment, she could forget about all her problems. Saving the world, looking after the flock- it was all behind her. She could just relax and let her mind float away.
A sudden noise came from above. Max looked up to see a black blur momentarily envelop several stars. She tensed, ready for an eraser attack.
She felt an abrupt pressure in her back, and before she could stop herself, she fell straight into the lake. Max resurfaced quickly and flicked her hair out of her face. Fang was hovering just above her, grinning like an idiot.
"Oh, you are so going down" she said as she jumped out of the water and tackled Fang onto the bank. They fought for a while, before Max realized that she was straddling him. She blushed and quickly got off of him. Fang looked slightly disappointed.
They sat next to each other in silence for a couple of minutes, holding their knees and staring out over the lake. It had suddenly got a lot colder. Max shivered in her t-shirt and Fang pulled off his jacket and placed it around her shoulders. (A/N: chivalry is so NOT dead!!!)
"So," Fang started. "How have you been holding up? Honestly?" He was looking at her with concern. He had been worried about her lately. She had so much to deal with. Saving the world is not always as easy as they make it seem in the movies.
"I'm fine. Honestly," She replied.
"Are you sure?" Fang said, keen for her not to elude him once again when he started this conversation. "You've been through so much, Max. Even leaders need someone to turn to when they're having difficulties. I just want you to know that I'm here for you. It's okay to let people in sometimes." This was more than Fang usually said in a week. Max could tell he was being deadly serious about this.
"I know you're concerned, Fang. But seriously, I'm doing okay in spite of things. I mean, you and the flock are basically what gets me though the day."
Fang smiled one of his rare smiles, and Max's heart pumped hard against her chest. "Of course I get you through the day. You love me thiiiisss much" he in a childish voice, stretching his arms out wide. Max punched him in the arm and they began laughing together.
