Okay I know I should be working on my other stories but I really wanna try my hand at this. I guess I really wanted to try my hand at this because I like the idea but hate the way people executed them. Besides I love Max and Twilight was okay until the fan girls took over the town…….. This story will take place after Maximum Ride: School out Forever and New Moon.
So anyway here's the summary!

Two years past and Max is now sixteen years old (Ella shall be only a year younger than Max) when Valencia decides to get remarried to Charlie Swan and moves to Forks to be with him. Max's world gets turned upside down as she now has to deal with High School, a step sister, her mom turning into a bridezilla, the mystery of the Cullen family and the sudden return of the Flock.
Pairings: Fang X Max, Edward X Bella, and Iggy X Ella. If there are any other pairings you would like to see them please tell me!

I rolled my eyes as I listened to my Mom prattle on and on about her latest boyfriend, apparently she meet him in some small town called Forks (made me wonder if there was a town called Spoons) during the veterinarian convention held there. Apparently they had met in a small café near the convention site and hit it off right away, they had exchanged phone numbers and been calling each other every day since. Then, about a week ago he called her and asked her to marry him and my mom happily agreed. I rolled my eyes at that, who proposes to someone over the phone? It just wasn't normal.
'As if I have any right to say anything's normal.' I thought to myself as I snorted at the thought catching the attention of both my Mom and half-sister. I merely shrugged in response before grabbing my sister bag and hefting it into the car before turning around to grab my own bag.
Once everything was packed, the three of us got into my Mom silver hybrid and set off in our seven hour drive from our old home to our new one waiting for us in Forks. As my Mom continued to talk about how great this 'Charlie Swan' was I couldn't help but wonder briefly if my Mom had a bird fetish I didn't know about before shaking the thought away. My Mom is my Mom and nothing would ever change that, not that I would ever want it too, my Mom was an awesome mom who made the best chocolate chip cookies in the planet. Then I noticed that she was looking at my through the rear view mirror and brought myself to focus on her.
"What?" I asked and she sighed at me.
"I wanted you to know that Charlie has a daughter, who has a fiancée." My Mom warned me and I sighed.
'Well that's just wonderful; I'm not even going to be safe inside my own home!' I thought sarcastically as I stared glumly out the window. I wasn't really mad at my Mom, I mean it's been so long since I saw her smile like that and I didn't want to mess this up for her. I noticed that my Mom was trying to talk to me again so I forced myself to listen to her.
"And Forks is surrounded by forests, it's even pretty close to the beach." I perked up a bit but frowned at the way my Mom avoided my eyes.
"But?" I asked and she sighed.
"It rains almost every day." She confessed and I sighed, that just totally ruined my mood, before returning to look out my window and staring forlornly at the blue sky that was passing by above us.
'Good bye blue skies and hello grey clouds.' I thought sarcastically to myself almost wincing at the thought before my mind was suddenly flooded by images of five other people soaring through the sky and tears rushed to my eyes.
'Damn it! Why did I have to think of them now of all times? I thought I put everything behind me two years ago?!' I thought to myself furiously as I rapidly blinked back my tears noticing that both my Mom and sister were staring at me worriedly. I said nothing to them as I concentrated on destroying all thoughts of m… them from my mind.
Seven hours later we arrived in the small town of Forks and after ten minutes of arguing over a map we found ourselves in front of a homely two story building. A police cruiser was parked in the driveway right next to a black Mercedes, and a middle age man stood waiting out in the middle of the yard. As soon as he saw our car he hurried over and open Moms door for her before she could and offered her his hand. I smiled at the little display and saw that my sister had manage to snap a picture with her cell phone. Her eyes met mine and she gave me a mischievous grin that practically screamed 'blackmail material' and I rolled my eyes at her antics.
Charlie led us into his house and as I passed him I saw him glance questionable at my jacket. Confused I turned to look at him and he gave me a nervous smile when he realized he had been caught staring. I tilted my head showing him it was alright to ask and he gave me a real smile this time, but he still look curious.
"I was wondering why you had two slits on the back of you jacket." Charlie asked and I felt myself and my sister freeze up at the question.
"This jacket was given to me by someone very important and I haven't had the time to fix it yet." I was lying through my teeth but he seemed to believe it since he shrugged and let the subject drop. I felt a little bad that I was already lying to my future dad but it wasn't like I could tell him the truth. I mean how do I explain to him that I'm a human-avian hybrid and the slits in my jacket were they to let my wings out?
I stood in Charlie living room and felt a shiver of fear crawl up my spine as Charlie called his daughter down before rapidly shaking my head.
I am Maximum Ride and I would not be intimidated by my future step-sister!
I sighed as Edward comfortingly rubbed my arms and I gave him a small smile.
"Don't worry Bella, I' sure your new step-sisters will like you just fine." Edward reassured me and I frowned at him.
"I'm not worried about my step-sisters." I told Edward and saw him raise an eyebrow at this.
"Then what are you afraid of?" Edward asked and I frowned.
"How are we going to explain to them that we're engaged? After all they came down here so Charlie could marry their mom." I told Edward and he sighed before standing up and grabbing my hands.
"Don't worry Bella. I'm sure they won't mind the fact that you're engaged."Edward told me encouraging, before I could respond Charlie interrupted us by yelling for us to come down. Edward smiled at me before pulling me to my feet and dragging me down to meet my new step sisters and step mother.
When we reached the living room I gasped in surprise at the three unknown women standing in the living room. The first one that caught my eye was a middle age women who was standing next to Charlie and was obliviously the mother of the two other girls. Then I noticed the smaller of the two girls, it wasn't a really hard thing to do since she bounded right up to me and started talking to me as if she knew me her entire life, in a weird way she reminded me of Alice. But it was the last girl who really held my attention, she was beautiful, her golden brown hair catching the light through the window and casting a soft glow around her, and she was tall! She was even taller than I am, as if sensing my staring she turned to look at me and I found myself staring at suspicious brown eyes before she suddenly smirked and looked away. I turned to look at Edward only to find him frowning looking confused, before I could ask what was wrong Charlie cleared his throat drawing everybody attention to him.
"I guess now's a good as time as any to introduce ourselves to each other." Charlie urged and the women wasted no time getting it started.
"Well my name is Valencia Martinez and I'm a vet. It's nice to meet you Bella, shame that I didn't get to meet you the last time I was here." Valencia said sincerely offering a warm smile that had me smiling back. I could already tell that she was nothing like my whimsical mother and she would probably be good for Charlie.
"Hi! My name is Ella Martinez and Valencia is my mom, but she never lets me call her that. Something about how she likes it better when I call her mom and…" Yup, she really reminded me of Alice; before she could continue her little speech she was wacked on the back of her head by the final girl instantly shutting her up.
"While I'm sure Charlie would love to hear everything you have to say about every single one of moms' odd habits, I don't think our new step-sister and her fiancée would like to listen to you chatter for hours on end." The girl scolded Ella, reminding me for a brief moment like a mother would do with their child.
"Hi my name is Maxine Martinez, but I prefer if you called me Max." Max offered a small wave before looking at us expectantly.
"Hi my name's Bella and I'm Charlie daughter." I offered before turning to look at Edward.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Edward Cullen, Bella fiancé." Edward said with a smile that had Ella blushing but Max simply raised an eyebrow at him. An awkward silence fell over the group, no one quite sure how to proceed from here, when suddenly Max stomach rumbled loudly. I blinked in surprise and stared at Max in surprise, as did everyone in the room. Max blushed at the sudden attention before grimacing and laughing awkwardly, I noticed that both Ella and Valencia were staring at Max in shock.
"Um… do have anything to eat?" Max asked and Charlie frowned.
"No we don't have anything prepared right now. I was planning for all of us to go out to eat." Charlie told Max and she nodded.
"Um, can we stop at the bank; I didn't bring enough money with me." Valencia asked looking a little embarrassed and Charlie smiled at her.
"Don't worry about it; I'll pay for you guys." Charlie told them and Valencia looked horrified.
"I can't accept that! " Valencia protested and Charlie shook his head.
"I'm telling you not to worry, I got it covered." Charlie reassured her but Ella burst out into giggles while Max raised an eyebrow at him. Before Valencia could protest any further, Charlie dragged her out the door, stopping briefly to allow her to grab her purse, before offering Valencia the passenger seat to his cruiser. I really didn't see what was so wrong with Charlie offering to pay, but why did I get the feeling that he just bit off way more than he could chew?
So I ended up sitting in the back seat of the cop cruiser, trying desperately to stop my growing fear, as Bella and Edward followed us in the Mercedes. I saw that Mom was still trying to argue with Charlie about paying for the bill, now she was just trying to get him to split the bill but he was still stubbornly refusing. I was glad that Mom was able to find him. I never saw her look so happy or carefree before, this still didn't mean that I was going to hold back. It wasn't long before we found ourselves in front of a dinner somewhere in the middle of the town.
I watched as Charlie stepped out of the cruiser and was greeted by a lot of people in the streets. It seems as if Charlie was a respected man in town and I saw that everyone was either looking at us or looking at Bella car. I didn't really see why, it was just a car. I got out quickly and stretched as if I had been sitting there for hours instead of the minutes that it actually was. I glanced around and saw that everyone had gotten out of the cars and where now heading into the dinner. The dinner was mostly empty so it didn't take long for them to sit our big group down. Menus were placed in front of us and I watched as Edward leaned over so he could look over Bella shoulder at hers, not even touching the one placed before him. I felt myself frown as I stared at Edward, it first I really didn't care that my step-sister was engaged but now I wasn't too sure. Edward had tried to read my mine a few minutes ago, obliviously he couldn't be human and I wonder if Bella knew that? My thoughts were interrupted when a waitress came over to take our orders.
"What would you like sir?" She asked distractedly, her eyes flicking from Edward to her pad repeatedly. I watch with some mild amusement as Bella scowled at the waitress but the waitress didn't seem to notice.
"I'll take the T-bone steak, medium rare, and a coke." Charlie ordered before turning to look at my mom.
"I'll take the grilled chicken and an ice tea." Mom ordered then turned to look at Ella.
"I'll have the Italian chicken salad with extra cheese and a diet coke." Ella said carefully before turning to Bella.
"What do you want Bella?" Ella asked and Bella looked surprise.
"Shouldn't Max order first? She is hungry after all." Bella offered and both I and Ella sniggered at that.
"Oh don't worry; it'll take a while for my order so I suggest you go first." I urged Bella almost laughing at her confused expression and she shrugged.
"I'll take the turkey sandwich and have a coke." Bella ordered before turning to look at Edward.
"I'll have a coke." He order bluntly and Charlie stared at him surprise.
"Is that all you want? Because I'm more than willing to pay for you as well." Charlie offered and Edward simple shook his head.
"No it's okay, I'm not hungry." Edward reassured Charlie who frowned but let the subject drop. The waitress turned to me, pen raised over the pad before asking.
"What would you like?" My smile got even wider as I heard Ella giggle before taking a deep breath and answering.
"I want a double cheese burger, a six ounce steak, well done, the chicken alfredo, no mushrooms, the spinach ravioli, the fried chicken tenders, everything from page three, the fish and chips, and a root beer." I finished with a smile laughing on the inside at the dumb founded expressions on everyone faces, Ella on the other had didn't hold back at all and was laughing openly. The waitress was the first to recover.
"Don't you think that's a little much?" She asked and my mom sighed.
"Max here has an incredibly high metabolism. If she saying she can eat that much, then she can eat that much." My mom said seriously and everyone looked at me in shock.
"Are you sure you still don't want to split the bill?" I asked Charlie and he laughed weakly in reply.
'Oh yeah wait until he see what I eat after I have a work out.' I thought to myself laughing at the mental image.
Well here's chapter one and I hoped you all liked it!
