Better Than a Dream Chapter 1, a maximum ride fanfic

Hey this is my first fanfic so enjoy and ya. Guess what I have cupcakes they are nice and yummy and sitting next to me and I am not sure how they know my name but they do.

Max prov:

"Max will you stop drinking out of the carton! I swear you are as bad as Sam."

"Shut up Dylan!" Sam and I yelled. Then Sam laughed and pointed to my lip no doubt laughing at milk mustache. I whipped it off with my sleeve just as the phone rang.

"Not getting it," I yelled jumping up on the counter find a fruit rollup.

"When do you ever?"Ari mumbled as he answered the phone.

"Ya?"…."Max it is for you,"

"I am not talking to them," I said through a mouthful of fruit rollup so it sounded more like "nomnomnomnom" Ari still holding the phone out glared at me so I took the phone and clicked the end button.

"Max you have been ignoring them for what six years now? They aren't going to stop."

"Ya I really don't care." I said "now if you don't mind I am going to work. Don't forget to bring my guitar to the diner so we can practice."

" Why does no one ever show up there at 1am?" Dylan asked.

"They do just not as many and they are always crying over a break up or runaways looking for a place to hide for a while." Answered Sam who works with me and JJ at the diner from 1 to 6 so it is never busy.

"Just remember my baby, got it good bye." I said walking out the apartment door and heading downstairs.

I began my walk to the bookshop. Not having a car made me smart and I got jobs close to the apartment. I should explain everything while I walk to work unless you want me to describe every little crack and cloud. I am Maximum Ride but go by Max. Nothing else so thing of anything else and it slips your mouth we will see how funny it is when my fist slips into your face. I am 22 and fresh out of big girl school. I studied to be a vet and a writer but I haven't found a job to use my skills in yet. I live with my brother, Ari, Dylan, who is Ari's best friend, and Sam my best friend from school in an apartment in town. Ari is 25, Dylan 24, and Sam 23. The four of us and JJ formed a band when I was a 19. We practice when Sam, JJ, and I are "working" in the diner. Well now that I am at work I will stop we will just let everything else fall into place.

*line named…..Bobby. Say hi Bobby…..Bobby says hi if you don't speak line*

I put my backpack down next to the corner and slid into my swirly chair. We have been looking for at least one more person to help out when I work because well I am alone and Margret, the owner doesn't want me here alone but no one loves me because no one has even looked at the help wanted sign. I log into the computer and began messing around on Facebook. I got bored of that and no one came to buy a book yet. Why did it have to be such a slow day? Then I hop on Fanfiction and began reading. While I was on the 5th story the little bell rang that is on the door and the cool Colorado breeze blew in.

There was a guy, tall, with blue eyes and blond reddish hair. He was kinda cute. He went right over to a section I knew well. When he came up to me with a book in hand I couldn't help but look at it. I smiled I had used this book not long ago to build an explosive stink bomb and put it under Ari's bed. Hehe that was fun.

"Who are you pranking?" I asked with a smile.

"No one really it is for my brother because his birthday is tomorrow. Although I was thinking about using it on some guy at work."

"Use the exploding stink bomb. You can change the color of the powder and the explosion is nice a colorful."

The guy laughed "Well I just hope my brother doesn't use this on me or he will need to get a new room."

"As long as it is a good prank then it is worth it."

The guy took his book and headed to the door. He stopped and turned to me.

"Are you guys still looking for help?"

"Well the sign on the door says so and there is an empty chair here so I say yep," popping the p.

"I have a friend who has been looking for a job you think he can stop by for an interview?"

"Sure tell him to come in here same time as now tomorrow."

"Cool thanks,"

"no prob"

*Bobby is back*

I headed to the diner after Dave came for his shift with Claire. The diner wasn't very far but it had gotten colder and my dark jeans and evergreen tank top were not doing the trick of keeping me warm. When I did get to the diner it was only 12:30. Now you might be thinking why is the bookstore still open? Don't know but it seems that a lot of people tend to show up around 3. I put my backpack on our booth.

"Did Becky already leave?" I asked Larry who was leaning on a chair.

"Yep so did Chase it is just me,"

'You can leave it is not like it is busy or anything and JJ should be coming soon."

"Cool thanks Max," Larry said as he picked up his things and left.

No one was in there but an old couple who is always there on Tuesday from 11 to 1. Why don't ask me it was just something they did. Then there were two little kids sitting in a booth most likely runaways. Last two guys sitting across each other. I walked over to them to see if they needed anything.

"Hey do you guys… are you stalking me?" I asked when I saw the guy who had come into the bookstore.

"What do you work here too?"He asked

"No I am flirting with you by asking if you need anything of course I work here."

"Well since I am stalking you I should at least know who I am stalking,"

"Maximum Ride, but just call me Max or else I will test another stink bomb on you."

He laughed "That's just a stink bomb. I am Iggy Griffin and this is my friend who is looking for the job, Fang Jets." Iggy said pointing to the guy across him. He had long black hair that ended just above his shoulders. His eyes were dark and never ending with odd glints of gold. He was wearing black sweats and a black shirt that showed his abs. lets just say I am glad that I am a good actress or else I would have been drooling. It was also that moment when JJ and Sam walked in.

"Hey Max. Why is it busy?"

"Stop complaining it is not bad at all. Oh Sam, JJ, this is Iggy Griffin and Fang Jets. Iggy, Fang, this is JJ Taylor and Sam Rock." Sam nodded to them while JJ was nice and at least shared some heys with them. Boys.

"So Fang are you planning on coming by tomorrow for the interview or will I remain all lonely in the shop?"

"Ya. I'll come." He said

"Ok good now I am going to talk to those runaways and see the story of it." I said

I headed over there and sat down next to the kids. They were both blond the boy was about eight. He had blue eyes and looked confused. His sister had blue eyes too and looked as if she would fall over soon.

"Let me guess, your parents got mad at you and you guys took it as get lost and got the hell out of there?"

The boy nodded his head but the girl shook it. Someone is getting mixed signals.

"We can trust her Gazzy, I can tell." The girl said. "My name is Angel and that's my brother Gazzy. We ran away from a place called…" "Angel no shut up!" Gazzy yelled. "We trust no one remember!" "But we can trust her I can tell remember I read…" "ANGEL!"

"Hey relax you don't have to tell me anything. But would you like me to make you guys something warm and maybe some hot coco?"

"Yes please!" they said. I simply laughed and got up and got JJ to help. We made some of our special late night hot coco and because we were in the breakfast mood we made waffles, eggs, toast, and bacon. Ok JJ did most of the cooking; I mainly did the hot coco. By the time we gave the kids their food and they stuffed it down happily, the rest of the band came in.

"Hey guys ready to practice?"

"Yep lets hit it. Wait did you bring my baby?"

"Ya here is your baby"

By now the old couple had left but Iggy, Fang, Gazzy, and Angel all sat on the stools across from our booth. Our booth was in the far corner and was the biggest and most worn down. Like all the other ones it was red but instead of a white stripe it had a black one. They messed up the order or something when they first opened.

"Let's start with Love like Woe," Sam said

Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

(I kinda feel like it don't make sense)

I'm thinking, baby, you and I are undeniable
But I'm finding now loves unreliable
I'm giving all I got to make you stay
Or am I just a roadblock in your Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
way?

Cause you're a pretty little windstorm out on the boulevard
Something like a Sunset, oh you're a shooting star
And I might drive myself insane
If those lips aren't speaking my name

Cause I got some intuition,
Or maybe I'm superstitious
But I think you're a pretty sweet pill that I'm swallowing down
To counter this addiction, you've got me on a mission
Tell me darling, can I get a break somehow?
(How) could I say no?

She's got a love like woe
Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh,
Girls got a love like woe (la-da-da)
I kinda feel like it don't make sense
Because you're bringing me in and now you're kicking me out again
Loved so strong, then you moved on
Now I'm hung up in suspense,
Because you're bringing me in and then you're kicking me out again

It's like a hurricane, speed train, she's a moving car
Catch her in the fast lane, oh I gotta know,
Can I keep up with her pace?
Kick it into gear when I see that face

You can take up all my time cause you're the only one
That can make a storm cloud break, pulling out the sun
And I can't get caught in the rain
Can I get your lips to speak my name?

Cause we only have one life
The timing and the moment,
All seem so right
So would you say you're mine? (We'll be just fine)
Would you say you're mine? (We'll be just fine)

"Ok wow. I must say I thought you guys were just like doing this for a kick but that was awesome!" Iggy shouted.

Sam, Ari, Dylan, JJ, and I just laughed.

"You have yet to hear Max though," Sam said, "Bottoms up?"

"Sure"

Bold= Sam Italics=Max

Yeah
Oh oh it's Mr. Steal Yo Girl
Oh oh it's Mr. Steal Yo Girl oh oh
Let's go
Yo, could I get that 'Tron?
Could I get that Remmy?
Could I get that Coke?
Could I get that Henny?
Could I get that margarita on the rock rock rocks?
Could I get that salt all around that rim rim rim rim?
Trey, I was like "Yo Trey"
Do you think you could buy me a bottle of Rose'?
Okay, lets get it now
I'm with a bad bitch he's with his friends
I don't say "Hi", I say "Keys to the Benz"
Keys to the Benz? Keys to the Benz!

Throw a lotta money at her then yell fucka, fucka, fucka,
Then yell fucka.

Bottoms up, Bottoms up, Bottoms up, Bottoms up, Bottoms up

"Ok now we get to do a song I want" I said with a smile. "If I Die Young"

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh, uh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time

And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little, cold finger, I've
Never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand, there's a
Boy here in town says he'll, love my forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when your dead how people start listenin'

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when your really gonna need them, oh

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls

I ended it and looked at Iggy, Fang, Angel, and Gazzy for the approval.

"Did I do ok or did I screw up and not notice?"

"Wow…"

"Well look someone speaks!"
