Alright people! My first FanFic ever! Please read and tell me what you think! I would love to hear your comments and feedback!

Max's P.O.V.

I was about to walk into Anne's house after the kids when I heard a noise in a near-by bush. I immediately froze and squinted, trying to see what, or who, was there. Fang came up to me and stared for a while, too.

"What are you looking at?" he asked quietly.

"Oh, um, nothing, I guess. I thought I heard something. That's all. Just my paranoia kicking in," I said. I turned back to the house. Before entering, I gave a quick glance back to the bushes, then gave a reassuring glance to Fang.

Ari's P.O.V.

I was…how would you put it…staking out Anne's house. I had shifted positions in the bushes I was in. Just after I had shifted, Max turned and seemed to look right at me. I almost came out, but thought, What would I do if I did? I could come out and fight, but Fang was with Max, so I would be outnumbered. I guess I could come out and try to convince her to come away with me somewhere, but then how would I impress my father? How would I prove myself? How would I make Dad notice me?

I decided to just stay put. Now's not the time, I repeated to myself. Now's not the time.

Finally, after what seemed like years of talking, Max and Fang went inside Anne's house. I relaxed and untensed. I reached into my pocket and pulled out the MP3 Player Max II loaned me. How is it a clone gets better stuff than a whitecoat's own son? I thought. I quickly pushed that thought aside, then put on earbud in my ear, leaving the other ear open for my ear piece. I looked at the MP3 Player, but I couldn't read the song title or anything like that so I was just blindly listening to songs. The first song came on, and I leaned back against a tree and listened calmly.

Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet

Every roommate kept awake
By every sigh and scream we make
All the feelings that I get
But I still don't miss you yet

Only when I stop to think about it

I didn't know why, but the music made me feel better. I started thinking bout Max.

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you

Max. I'm supposed to hate her, but I love her.


I hate everything about you
Why do I love you

Max doesn't love me. Could she learn to?

Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet

I say I don't love her, but I'm just lying.

Only when I stop to think about it

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you

I should hate her. Why do I love her? Why?

Only when I stop to think
About you, I know

I could stop thinking about her, but I don't want to.


Only when you stop to think
About me, do you know

Does she ever stop to think about me? What does she think?

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
You hate everything about me
Why do you love me

She hates me. She could change.

I hate
You hate
I hate
You love me

I want her to love me.

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you

Just as the song ended, I heard a crackling in my ear piece.

"We need you to come back to the HQ," it said.

I immediately got up, morphed, and went back to HQs, thinking about Max, and my plans for her.


Yay! I did it! Plaese review! Flames/concrit welcome!
