A/N Set in Fang, when they're in Colorado.

"Who the hell decided on so many boys?" Nudge was flopped back on her bed, staring at the ceiling.

"What?" Fang and Iggy were playing a card game, Angel reading the cards for Iggy and telling him them silently. Gazzy was listening to a book on tape, and Max was off beating up at tree or something.

"Boys. I mean, like, there's you, Fang, and Gazzy, and Iggy, and Dylan. But for girls, there's just me and Max!"

"Hey!"

"Okay, okay, and Angel, but didn't she just come with Gazzy? Your parents and all?" Nudge stopped when she saw Angel's face. "Sorry, but it's true!" Angel stormed out of the room.

"Huh. That is odd," said Iggy thoughtfully, ignoring Angel's diva exit. "And four of us are fifteen-ish. Except Dylan. Well, he's physically fifteen-ish."

"See!" exclaimed Nudge, bouncing a bit with excitement. "The Itex people were crazy! Did they not realize that you all would be competing for Max?"

If Fang had been drinking something, he would've done a spit-take. Iggy dropped his cards, and even the Gasman pulled out his earbuds.

"Competing?" Nudge gave him an isn't it obvious? look. Fang looked a little confused, which on Fang meant he was flabbergasted.

"You saw how Dylan looked at Max back in Africa. And may I say, he is hot. Hey! I wonder if the scientists knew you all would be so attractive." Now all three boys were staring at her as if she'd just announced she was on Mr. Chu's side.

"Okay. Creepy calling us attractive aside, I am not competing for Max."

"And neither am I. I have Max." Fang looked like he was working hard not to break his StrongAndSilentFace .

"How can you be sure?" Nudge was grinning evilly now.

"How could you not know? They kiss every five seconds," said Iggy. Gazzy got up, looking disgusted.

"I'm outta here." Nobody looked up.

"Was that some jealousy I detected there, Igster? Itex is really evil, huh?"

"What? No, I-"

"Nudge-"

Just then, Max walked in.

"Hey, guys, what's going on?"

A/N. So, yeah. Sorry if Nudge is a little OOC. Just a random thought I had. R&R!
