So, this is my first Fanfic. I'm not expecting much from it, and I am open to any kinds of comments. Criticism is good, as long as you specify what I could work on and do better at nect time. Thanks!

The wind whistled through my hair. A gentle breeze caressed my cheeks. I enjoyed the feeling of coasting on a thermal, high above the ground. God, I need to do this more often I thought. It was heaven.

"Max" a voice said gently. I looked around but saw no one, so I went back to coasting.

"Max" The voice was more persistent now. I felt something touch my arm and suddenly I was awake. I looked around, puzzled. Where was I? Who called my name? I looked around wildly until my eyes came to rest on Fang, perched on the side of my hotel room bed. He half smiled.

"Same dream?" he asked.

"Nightmare" I corrected him as I swung my legs over the side of the bed and headed for the bathroom. "And no, it was a different one. A better dream" I said as I began rifling through my bag for my hairbrush. I felt Fang's eyes on me and I turned to see him studying me intently.

"What?" I asked as I began combing out the knots in my hair.

"Your hair is so much longer now," he commented, still studying me. "Why couldn't you have it like that before?"

"'Cause before we were on the run, and it got in the way" I pointed out as I pulled it up into a pony.

"Yeah, but I like it better long" he said as he got up and made his way over to me, picking his way around piles of clothes on the floor.

"Yeah, and it's all about you" I teased as I reached up and kissed him. His mouth quirked.

"Good, you're catching on." He kissed me back, and I tilted my head so I could kiss him better. I wrapped my arms around him and felt his arms come around me. A sudden knock on the door startled us, and we broke apart. I went over and opened the door, to find Nudge practically bouncing up and down.

"Hi Max! Have you seen Fang? We can't find him anywhere. He's not in the guy's room, and Gazzy and Iggy haven't seen him for a while an-Fang!" she cried as she spotted him behind me, leaning against the wall. He smiled at her.

"So, are we gonna go do stuff today? Angel wants to see the Eiffel Tower again, and Total wants some more pastries, and I would loooove to go shoppi-" she stopped when I held my hand up. Yeah, you heard her right. We were back in Paris, only this time the Flock was together. I felt I owed it to them to bring them back here, especially since the last time we were here the boys were back in the States. So here we are, at some fancy hotel in downtown Paris.

"Yes, we are going to do stuff. First we need breakfast, then we can go shopping and maybe hit the Eiffel Tower on the way back." I was the leader, so I really was the one that decided what we should do, but since we were here for the younger ones, I let them decide most of the time. "Go get the others and meet me at the restaurant downstairs in 10 minutes" I said.

"Okay, bye!" Nudge turned and skipped down the hall.

I turned around.

"Out" I commanded Fang, pointing at the door. Yes, he was my fiancé, but a girl needs her privacy. He didn't argue, just planted a kiss on my forehead as he passed. I was changed and ready in 5 minutes. Fang was waiting outside my door, and he took my hand as we walked down the hallway. His hand was soft and warm, not at all like it used to be- hard, rough and callused from battle. Thankfully, we hadn't had to battle anyone lately. I was perfectly fine keeping it that way.
