I don't own Buffy... or Maximum Ride... or Fang (sadness)... Oh well... I do own an evil laugh that can be compared to no other... muahahahahaha

OK, rant over. Anyways, this is what happens when I've just been reading tons of Maximum Ride fanfics and have just been singing along with the songs from Once more with feeling (episode in season 6 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer). Yeah, I know, my brain is messed up. Oh, well, enjoy it! If you don't know anything about Buffy the Vampire Slayer but really wanna read this story, I advise you read up on it.

Oh, and there will be some... (how do I say this... Fuffy?? Nah, sounds wrong. Bang? Oh yeah!! Guess who those two are??) later on in the story, and maybe (not sure yet) some... um... Sax?? Mike?? Oh whatever, you choose (by the way, that's Spike *sigh* and Max). Don't kill me if you don't like the way they're paired up. I mean, personally, I'd keep Fang and Spike to myself (insert evil laugh here) and kill anyone who tries to take them away from me (*looking around suspiciously and keeping a protective arm around my boys*... notice the emphasis on my... RANT OVER), but, oh well.. Can't always get what we want, now, can we? (I know what you're thinking: Especially since they're not even real, but you know what? I'll cut you right off in the middle of your sentence and scream: I DON'T CARE THEY'RE STILL MINE! Now do you see how crazy I am? But please don't let this stop you from reading this story and leaving reviews!!).

Just so you know, right now, I'm banging my head on the computer because I just realized how much I wrote and I'm keeping you away from the story. Besides, you probably just skipped it entirely. Oh well. Now the rant is OFFICIALLY over. Done. For good. I don't care what you say, it's over. OVER, YOU HEAR ME!! NOW READ!

Muahahahaha

Fang's POV

"OK, guys. I'm not sure, but I believe we're somewhere in California. Oh, wait, I see a sign over there. Fang, mind checking it out?" Max asked me.

"Sure, I'll go," That's me, Mister Do-it-all.

Just so you know, Max, Iggy and I are all 20, Nudge is 17, Gazzy is 14, and Angel is 12. We're still on the run. That Uber-Director had some pretty evil followers. At least Gozen, and all his ugliness, is gone. Phew!

Aw, come on, Fang! Don't be so sour! It's just a tiny favor! Besides, Max is really grateful!

Whatever, Angel. And, for the last time, get out of my brain!

Fine! See ya!

Yeah, sure, whatever.

Yeah... Angel still has that freaky mind-reading thing going on.

HEY! I can hear you, you know?

Again: OUT!

I could see her fuming (literally) as I flew down to the sign. That's teenage hormones for ya. I'm telling ya, she's even worse than Gazzy. And that's saying something.

I got to a sign that read: Welcome to Sunnydale, California. Someone had spray-painted Home of the daily decreasing population under the original words. The sight was just plain hilarious. But, being myself, I only grinned. Though I stopped before flying up. Wouldn't want them to think I can actually show any emotions, would I?

"So?" Max asked. I could feel her eyes on me as I flew towards Iggy. I don't know why, but she was getting on my last nerve these days. Maybe 'cause every time she gets the chance she flirts with other guys. Hmmm.

"You were right, we are in California. Sunnydale, to be precise." I added.

I heard Iggy mutter something about how the name sounded familiar, but then Max's voice prevented me from hearing the rest.

"OK, so, we're gonna try to find a place to crash for the night. Any suggestions?" she asked.

I left out the part about the decreasing population. It didn't really matter. We were just staying for the night.

"How about the graveyard?" Nudge suggested. "There aren't gonna be many people there at midnight, right? And we can sleep in the trees, and the night is just so beautiful, and then tomorrow we can go shopping, and then-"

"Nudge! Turn off the chatterbox for a second, will ya?" I said, trying to stop her before she gave us all (particularly me) a headache.

"OK, Nudge, you're right. Let's try and find one that's secluded and has tons of trees."

For a town that small, man that town had a lot of cemeteries.

"There!" Gazzy called.

Angel was already nodding off, and I could tell everyone was extremely tired.

After doing a quick 360, Max told everyone to do a quick landing, so we did.

Max was starting to tell us what our respective tasks were when the thing we least expected to happen did.

"What the hell?" a voice came from the shadows behind me.

---------------

Uh-oh!! What's gonna happen next? I know you probably all hate cliff hangers (insert evil laugh that I, and only me, own here), but I'll start the next chapter in a couple of seconds so don't worry!

Oh, and I know that some fanfic authors try to get you to write tons and tons of review before they write/post another chapter, but since this is only my second story and I can't help myself from writing it, or posting it for that matter, I won't be cruel with you.

Hope you liked it!
