A/N: Okay so my friend gave me the idea for this, so I'm writing it. She's a genius (Oh wa oh oh oh oh oh!) Pre-Fang (I.e, post Max)

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Maximum Ride. Or twilight. Or Brainjack. But again people Fanfiction. Seriously. But whatever, as long as I don't get sued.

Max POV

"OMG! Thanks Iggy!" Nudge squealed. We were having Christmas at my mom's.

"What did you get?" I asked

"Twilight!"

Oh no.

I'd heard how obsessive some people had got over this book, and the movie. I just hoped I wouldn't be forced to watch the movie.

"Nudge! I got the DVD!" Ella babbled.

Someone kill me now.

"Here, this is for you" Fang's quiet voice came from behind me. He handed me a small wrapped present, and I handed over his. I opened mine swiftly, and looked inside.

It was... beautiful. As well as ironic. He had gotten me a necklace with a bird on it.

He unwrapped his present fast as well and was looking over his swiss army knife.

He looked over at me then, gauging my reaction.

I looked at him and laughed.

"It's beautiful" I told him, and he smiled slightly.

We all looked over our presents. I had gotten and iPod, a mobile phone (all courtesy of mom) a new pair of gloves (thanks Ig!) Some clothes (er, uh, thanks Nudge) A bunch of CD's (I suspect mom bought them for Gaz to give to me) A book (Not Twilight, thanks Angel!) and I was wearing The necklace Fang gave me.

Nudge was unusually quiet, buried in her book (Ugh. Twilight) I saw her pull faces every now and then, and I could swear I heard her gasp.

"Anyone want to watch Twilight with me?" Ella asked. Fang, Iggy, Gazzy and I quickly shook our heads, Angel agreed and Nudge..

"Lemme finish the book first" she said "It'll take about another hour or two"

"Okay, we'll watch it now, in the other room, and we'll watch it again with you later" Ella suggested

"Yeah! It could be a movie night! Everyone can watch!" Angel suggested, beaming

Please no. I thought at her.

It's for your own good. She thought back.

I sighed and turned back to my book. It was called Brainjack by Brain Faulkner (A/N real book. It's really good)

I sighed again as I settled into my seat next to Fang.

"Remind me again why we're watching this" I murmured to him

"So Nudge is pleased" He whispered back "It's either this or listen to Nudge babble about the book"

"Point taken, this I can sleep through" I added with a grin. His returning smile almost melted me. Almost.

As it turned out, I only managed to get to the part where Edward beats the crap out of the van, before I fell asleep.

I woke up as the final credits were rolling and no-one seemed to notice I was asleep.

"OMG that was AMAZING!" Nudge squealed excitedly. Oh dear God.

"Like there was that part, and she's all like 'I'm only afraid of losing you' I thought that was soooo romantic. And then there was the part where Edward's all 'Say it out loud' and Bella's all 'Vampire' And OMG Robert Pattinson's SOOOO hot!..." Nudge carried on and I whispered to Iggy "You've created a monster"

"It wasn't my doing" he whispered back "Dr M bought it for me to give it to her"

"Right"

"OMG I sooo want the next book. Ella do you wanna read the first one?"

"Yeah, sure"

"Well I'm off to bed" I said loudly "Good night"

"Night Max" Nudge told me "And then he.." Nudge continued talking to Ella and Angel about the movie.

"Night guys" I said as I walked out of the room. I could tell by the shuffling of footsteps behind me the boys had followed. They didn't really want to be a part of that discussion.

I threw myself into bed and looked up at the ceiling. Hopefully, I could get to sleep before Nudge showed up.
