Okay, so maybe shopping wasn't the best idea…

Yeah. Me, Maximum Ride actually went shopping. I was nice enough to drag my flock with me. Some willingly came, and others, cough, cough, Gazzy, Iggy, and Fang, were forced. I didn't really want to go either, but we had to. We had to have something to wear. Iggy probably wouldn't have minded going around with no clothes, but the rest of us would have…ew. Look what has happened to me after sixteen years of living with him…I've gone perverted. Uh oh.

"Max, why the hell did we have to go in there?" Iggy whined.

"Because we had to have something to wear," I said for the millionth time. Fang nodded.

"And you may have not cared if we all went around naked because you're blind, but the rest of us would have…" he stopped in thought.

"Bet you wouldn't mind if Max did," he teased. Fang looked up and threw a shoe at him.

"Shut the fuck up," Fang hissed. I smiled. That summed up what I was going to say…almost.

"Max, do you have anything to say?" Iggy asked while smirking.

"Kiss my ass," I said annoyed. Fang grinned.

"He probably wants to," he said shrugging. I shrugged.
"Probably."
"Max, stop it!" Nudge whimpered. Oh yeah. It was her boyfriend we were talking about…

"Okay," I said simply.

"Why are we in DC?" Gazzy asked curiously. I sighed.

"Mom's making us go to that school they made for us," I said for the millionth time. They nodded.

"Right," he said while nodding. Nudge walked in front of me.

"Max, when are we going to go home? Val bought us a house, but you haven't even let us go in it!" Nudge whined. I sighed.

"Okay. We'll go tonight," I said softly. Everyone cheered. But Fang, but it's Fang, so he wouldn't cheer if you told him he was getting a million dollars.

"Now?" Angel asked hopefully. We all got in our SUV…yes. I had my license, and so did Fang.

"I'm driving," Fang said behind me. He grabbed the keys out of my back pocket, and I spun around to look at him.

"What the hell are you doing?" I asked quietly. He grinned.

"Getting the keys."

"Yeah. You could've asked," I muttered. He shrugged.

"You wouldn't have given them to me," he said as he got in the driver's seat. Everyone stared.

"He's driving?" Angel asked nervously. Fang nodded.

"Yes," I muttered getting in the passenger's seat. "He stole the keys."

Okay. I had never rode in a car when Fang's been driving since he got his license, so I was shocked.

"Fang, you're insane!" I yelled. He looked over at me.

"Why?"

"The speed limit is thirty. You're kinda going eighty!" I shouted. He rolled his eyes.

"We're on a country road. No one's here," he pointed out. I glared at him, and then I decided to give everyone a talk.

"Okay guys. When you start driving, DON'T listen to anything Fang tells you," I ordered. They nodded, except Gazzy.

"He's an awesome driver," he muttered. I rolled my eyes.

"But he's being retarded!" I spat. I sat down in my seat and crossed my arms. "You are never driving again." He grinned.

"And don't learn road safety lessons from Max," he said teasingly. I stared at him.

"Look who's talking!" I mumbled. He nodded.

"I actually buckled my seat belt little missy." I slapped the side of his head.

"Ass hole."

"That was so awesome!" Gazzy exclaimed. "We got here a lot quicker than the first time when we saw the house." They all looked at me.

"What?" I asked shrugging. "Mom was in the car, and I was trying to learn how to drive. And, I had you guys in there so I was nervous."

"How would you drive if they weren't in there?" Fang asked curiously. I grinned.

"You'd want to know," I said as he stepped closer to me. My lips were basically touching his shoulder.

"Tonight," he said with a smile. "Show me."'

"No," I said sweetly. He nodded.

"You can't make yourself drive fast," he said, not asked. I frowned.

"Yes I can," I protested. He shook his head.

"No you can't."

"I can, and I'll prove it!"

"Tonight," he said with a grin.

"Yes!" He nodded before walking in. I blinked.

"Wow," Angel said softly.

"Did he just trick me into it?" I asked curiously. They all nodded, and I frowned.

"Aw!" Nudge exclaimed. "It's like a date!" I stared at her.

"You and Gazzy have gone places just the two of you. Is that a date?" I retorted. Iggy, Gazzy, and Nudge shook their heads quickly. "So, neither is this."

I triumphantly walked inside, and I sat on the couch. I turned on the TV, and I sighed.

"You're hurting me," I heard Fang say. He shook his head, and he was there. I stood up quickly.

"Sorry, I didn't see you," I said quickly. He smiled.

"I know." He stood up, and got really close to me. "Are you ready for our date tonight?" he asked with a smirk. I scowled.

"Who said it was a date?" I muttered. He grinned.

"Me," he said before walking off.

Let's see. Dark jeans, black cami, sweatshirt. How's my hair? Do I have bad breath?

"Oh my God!" I shouted. Everyone ran in.

"What?" Angel asked while grinning mischievously. I glared at her.

"You know what," I muttered. Everyone else frowned.

"We don't," Fang reminded me. I stared at him.

"So? Angel, you know what to do." She nodded, and everyone but Fang stared wide-eyed at me.

"Say anything and Max will kill you," Angel said darkly before happily skipping out. Everyone but Fang followed.

"Seriously, what?" he asked softly. I shook my head.

"Nothing," I lied. He rolled his eyes.

"Are you ready?" he asked impatiently. I smiled innocently.

"No. I have to put my make-up on since this is a date," I teased. I walked angrily over to the mirror, and I grabbed my keys off of the table.

"Ha," he muttered before we walked out.

"I'm driving," I said while running to the driver's seat.

"Nah duh!" I rolled my eyes, and we got in the SUV.

"Where do you want me to drive to?" I asked curiously. He smiled.

"Just turn and go where I tell you to," he said softly. "You can drive crazy on the way back."
Oh God. When he said this was a date, he wasn't kidding. Or was he just trying to freak me out?
"Then shouldn't you drive up there, and me drive back?" I asked before looking at him. He shrugged.

"I guess." He got out and walked to my side. I had gotten out now too.

"Tell me the honest to God truth," I said nervously. His face was a hair away from mine. "Is this a date?" He smiled.

"That's up to you," he whispered before grabbing my hand. He slid the keys from my hand to his, and he got in. I ran to the other side, and he drove off.

"We'll have to fly from here," he muttered as he turned the car off. I looked and saw a fence.

"Fang, we're not going anywhere illegal, are we?" he shook his head.

"We've been there before," he promised me. I nodded.

"Okay." We got out, and Fang threw me the keys.

"You'll need them," he said softly. I put them in my back pocket, and we took off.

"Oh God," I said when I realized where we were going. We were at a dock. THE dock.

"What did you say?" Fang asked after it looked like he had snapped his attention back to where we were.

"Nothing," I lied. He sighed.

"Okay." We landed and sat on the edge…like we had two years ago.

"Max," he said softly. I looked over at him. "I'm sorry."
"For what?" I asked curiously.

"For kissing you."
"Why are you sorry for that?" I asked sadly. He looked at me.

"I ruined everything because I have feelings for you. I was pushing you to do something you didn't want to," he said honestly. I sighed.

"I'm really glad you did," I said quietly. He looked at me. "It made me realize something."
"That you only have brother feelings for me," he muttered while nodding. "I get it." I smiled and got close to him.
"That I love you. As so much more," I finished before kissing him.
Alert the press! I, Maximum Ride, actually kissed Fang. He didn't kiss me…well, he was kissing me back, but that's not what I'm talking about.

"Wow," Fang whispered. I nodded and he kissed me. "I love you Max. I've been trying to find a way to tell you that for at least six years. I just didn't know how." I kissed him again.

"Looks to me like you found a way," I breathed before kissing him yet again.

He pulled off my sweatshirt, because things were getting really hot. He could tell I was because I was sweating. He pushed himself on me, and I pulled back slowly.

"We should go swimming," I whispered breathlessly. He smiled and kissed my collarbone.
"How?" he murmured against my skin. "We don't have anything to swim in." I smiled.

"Well, I have an idea," I whispered before kicking off my shoes. He did the same, and then he smiled and pulled off his shirt.

"What now?" he asked curiously. I smiled.

"Take off your pants," I ordered. He stared at me.

"Okay." He took off his belt, and then slid off his pants. He looked at me.

"Now you're done," I whispered before pulling off my cami. He stared at me, and I slid off my pants.
"I dare you to jump first," he teased. I rolled my eyes.

"Okay." I ran off the edge and jumped in. "Your turn." He jumped in and pulled me closer to him.
"Max," he said happily. "I think we could consider this a date." I nodded.

"This is so weird," I said thoughtfully. "In a good way." He nodded and grinned.

"It's a good thing you wore a bra, or this would be very, very interesting." I rolled my eyes.

"You're probably wishing I hadn't," I teased. He shrugged.

"And it's black." I stared at him.

"You're so weird. Thank God you have on dark blue boxers." He grinned.

"Yeah. Iggy wears whitey tidies." I shuddered.

"TMI!" I shouted. He grinned and shoved me under the water.

"You bastard!" I shrieked when I came up. He grinned, and I jumped on him. He went under, and I quickly got out. Fang followed me and tackled me.

"You know," he whispered. I looked up at him.

"What?" I asked breathlessly. He smiled and got a hair away from me.
"I love you," he said before kissing me. He closed all the gaps between us by gently pressing himself against me, and he kissed my neck.

"I love you too." He pulled back and nodded.

"I know."
"As more than a brother," I corrected. He smiled.

"That's good," he murmured against my skin. I took a deep breath, and I heard someone coming.
"Fang, do you hear that?" I asked nervously. He looked up and looked around.
"Someone's out there. Come on." We both quickly got dressed and flew off.

"Cops," I whispered once we were high enough to where they wouldn't hear. Fang nodded.

"You didn't leave anything, did you?" I shook my head.

"No." He grabbed my hand and pulled me close to him.
"Good. Let's get to the SUV," he suggested. I nodded, and we hurriedly flew towards it.

The bad thing was, cops were around it. Well, their cars.

"Fang, is anyone in any of them?" I whispered, barely audible. He looked closely.

"One guy. He's asleep," he muttered. I nodded, and we silently landed. I jumped in the driver's seat.

"Thank God it starts silently," I whispered. Fang nodded, and I started to back up.

"Hey!" someone yelled. Fang looked around.

"The cop is asleep," he insisted. I looked at him.
"Maybe you missed one," I said softly. He shook his head.

"No."

"I'm gonna go." I pulled out, and I sped down the road.

Suddenly, there were cops following us.

"Shit!" I yelled.

"You can't stop!" Fang shouted.

"You said we weren't going somewhere illegal!" I retorted.

"We didn't!"

"Then why the hell are there cops chasing us?" I spat. He shrugged.

"I don't know."

"Maybe we should stop and see why they're chasing us," I suggested. He sighed.

"Fine." I pulled over, and one of them pulled behind me.

"Hello," he said walking over to my window. "You're in a stolen vehicle." He looked like a male model.

"Shit," I whispered. Fang looked nervous.

"No we aren't," he said. "Max!" I nodded, and I drove off.

"Erasers?" I asked. He shook his head.

"You saved the world. I don't get it. They killed all the Erasers." I sighed.

"Well, he definitely was one," I pointed out. "Did you not notice him starting to morph?" Fang nodded.

"That's what I don't get," he muttered.

"They could easily make more," I pointed out.

"True." I pressed the petal as hard as I could, and I sped towards home.

"Park at the school," Fang ordered. I rolled my eyes but nodded.

"Why are we parking here?" I asked as we pulled into the parking lot. We got out, and I hid it behind the building. The cop cars sped by.
"Because we can fly from here," he whispered. He grabbed my hand. "Let's go home." I nodded, and we flew off.

"Max!" Angel squealed when we walked in. She looked. "Where's the SUV? And why are you wet?" I looked at Fang.
"Uh…"
"There's these people on the news who stole an SUV just like ours, and the cops were chasing them. They disappeared. They had pulled over, but when the cop went to talk to them, they sped off. He didn't really get a good look at them. All they know is there was a man and a woman," Gazzy said pointing to the TV.

"Police have given up search for the night," the lady said. "They have a few suspects." I looked wide-eyed at Fang, and he was nervous too.
"I'm tired," I lied. "I'm going to bed."

"We need to figure out rooms!" Angel yelled. I froze.

"How many do we have?" I called.

"It's a three bedroom apartment," Nudge said walking in the hallway. I sighed. We all knew who would be rooming with who.

"Claim your room partners," I muttered.

"Nudge!" Angel yelled grabbing her arm.
"Gazzy!" Iggy said while pulling him into a hug.

"Dude, get off of me!" Gazzy exclaimed. I sighed.

"And since there's only one person left…" I looked up at Fang who was grinning.

"We call the biggest room!" Nudge and Angel announced before running into their rooms.

"We claim the next to biggest one!" Gazzy shouted before him and Iggy ran off. I froze.

"Damn it," I said before burying my face into Fang's shoulder. He hugged me.

"Well, at least we're no longer just friends." He kissed my head.

"We have to talk…now," I whispered while grabbing his hand. He followed me.

"Ma'am yes ma'am."
