Max's POV
One
game of hide and seek has just completely altered my day. For the
good or the bad? Well I'll let you decide. I'm stuck in the
bathroom with Fang.
It all started earlier this morning, when
Angel had an idea, and we were all so bored we actually decided to do
it!
Here's exactly what happened:
"Maaax!!!!! I'm
bored!!!!!" Nudge whined for about the eight-millionth
time.
"Nudge! We all know you're bored! Could you turn the
Nudge channel down just a bit?!" I cried out, annoyed.
"Well,
why don't we play hide and seek?" Angel asked.
I looked at
Fang, who was looking at me. He gave me one of his rare grins, and
nodded.
"Ok…." I said, still a little frazzled by Fang's
sudden smile.
"I'll count!!!!!" Nudge laughed out; evilly I
might add too…. "1, 2, 3…"
I ran to the bathroom quickly,
giggling a bit to myself. I shut the door behind me and turned the
light off.
Everything was fine for a few minutes, when I heard
the bathroom door open. Then it shut quietly.
"Hey." I
whispered, "Get your own hiding place!"
"Max?" It was
Fang, "Sorry, I didn't know you were in here."
"It's ok,
just keep it down. What number is she at?"
"She was at 90 last
I heard, so she must be looking by now."
I quietly listened, and
soon heard footsteps coming down the hall.
Nudge's POV
"Angel? Gazzy? Iggy? Come on, they're in the bathroom
now!"
The trio came out from behind the couch.
"How did you
know they were both going to hide in there Nudge?" Gazzy asked in
amazement.
"Because," I stated simply, "That's where they
always hide first."
"Really?" Iggy asked.
"Yep." I
said nodding.
I walked up to the bathroom door. "Max, Fang,
found you." I called, locking the door from the outside.
Max's POV
"Dang it!" I growled.
I tried to open the door. It
was locked. "Fang?" I asked, in case I ha just had a sudden lapse
of strength or something, "I can't get the door open."
He
walked over, giving me a mocking look, then frowning when he couldn't
seem to open it either.
"They locked it." He said,
comprehension dawning on his face.
"ANGEL, GAZZY, NUDGE, IGGY!
OPEN THE DOOR THIS INSTANT!" I yelled, using my screechingly loud,
but authoritive voice.
"Sorry, Max, but not until Fang tells
you!" Angel called back with a sing-song happy voice.
And this,
my friends, is how I came to be stuck in a bathroom with Fang. Now,
for the good or bad? Let's find out.
I whirled on Fang. "Tell
me what?" I asked venomously.
Fang backed into the wall, his
hands up in self-defense. He, of all people, knew what I was capable
of when I was angry.
"Tell me what, Fang?" I asked, more
softly.
He stepped forward, a little hesitant. "Max, I." He
choked a bit.
"Fang?" I asked, "What is it? You what?"
"I…
love you…" He muttered.
My heart stopped. "I love you too."
I found myself saying in a voice that didn't sound like mine at
all. It was like I was underwater. This was unreal.
Fang stepped
forward, and kissed me. I felt fireworks explode, all the way from my
toes to my wings.
It was for the good, trust me.
