Since I finished "A New Beginning," I decided to write a new fanfiction so here it is. Hope you guys like it and if you do, I will keep writing this story. Enjoy!!!

Disclaimer: The Maximum Ride characters belong to the amazing James Patterson, I don't own them but I wish I did. The plot is mine though so no stealing.

Chapter 1 Hotel, Swimsuits and Fang

Max's POV

Hello, my name is Maximum Ride but you can call me Max. For the first twelve years of my life I lived in a cage at the School. No, it's not your typical school. This one has scientists around each corner, we call them white coats though, and they do experiment on people and turn them into something completely different. Take me for example, I may look like an ordinary teenager, I'm fourteen now, but I have wings. Yes, you read that right. I have two percent avian DNA in me.

Less then a year ago, my two friends and I destroyed the School's so we are free to roam wherever we decide to go. It's so nice to stretch out my thirteen foot wingspan.

"Max, I'm tired." Angel complained to me. Angel is the youngest of the three of us. She is only six years old and can read anyone's mind.

"Me too," Gasman complained along with his sister. There is a very good reason for that name; you never want to be around him at certain points in time. We three were separated from our parents at birth, actually given to the school by them, but Gazzy and Angel are the only blood relatives that I met at the School.

"Sure, where do you guys want to stop?" I'd never admit it but I was tired from all of the flying too.

I heard that, an angelic giggle sounded through my head.

That silly little mind reader was reading my thoughts again. A sweet innocent smile spread across Angel's face.

I rolled my eyes all the way into my head and Angel's laughter scared Gazzy.

"What's so funny?" He questioned, confused at what was going on.

"Nothing, don't worry about it," he shrugged his shoulders and just went along with it.

"Can we stay at a hotel? PLEASE!!!" Angel begged.

"I don't really want to stay in a hotel. You know how small spaces get to me," I know they were also in dog crates for their whole lives but I'm older then them and had to deal with it longer.

I made the mistake of looking directly at Angel; she was giving me the bambi eyes. Her eyes were as wide as she could get them and her lips were pulled out in a pout. It's so hard to resist. Must…look…away, I told myself but of course it didn't work.

"Sure," I replied after letting out a deep breath.

"YAY, Max you are so amazing," she screeched as loud as she could. Gazzy, Gasman's nickname, and I both had to cover our ears, but it didn't really help.

The rest of the flight was pretty silent, amazingly enough. No sound came out of anyone's mouth, unless you count Angel's nonstop humming that made Gazzy join along.

They had smiles planted on their faces the whole time and laughed after they finished a song.

"Can we stay there?" Angel took me out of my train of thought by pointing at a magnificent hotel. Gargoyles lay across the top ledge of the hotel. Lights strewn over the gargoyles and down the edge and around the windows. Must be one of those old fashion types of hotels, I thought to myself. There were fourteen stories and porch ledges at every other window. The shadow of the hotel devoured us and everything within twenty feet of us.

I felt around in my pocket and pulled out a rectangular piece of plastic. After all this time, I still have the Maximum Ride ATM card that Jeb, my father, gave me. The card never runs out of money. I stuffed it back into my pocket before I had a chance to lose it.

"Sure," I replied to her and being Angel, she let out another of her ear drum breaking screeches.

"Angel," Gazzy yelled right back at her. She turned to look at him and Gazzy took his left brown wing and bumped Angel on her head.

"That…wasn't…nice," Angel had trouble getting out the words between her laughter. She took her four foot wing and bumped Gazzy right in the face.

Some of her pure white feathers got stuck in his mouth.

"Yuck, feathers don't taste very good," Angel and I laughed at the obviousness of his statement.

We landed in the dark alley next to the hotel so that no one could see us.

"Let's not attract any attention to ourselves," I warned Angel and Gazzy. They aren't the best at keeping quiet.

The inside of the hotel, which looked even more amazing then the outside, had high ceilings and a game room to the right of where you come in. I bet I know where Gazzy will be, Angel stifled laughter for the thought that just passed through my head. Gold trimming hung from the ceiling and a splash could be heard.

A smile immediately spread across her face at the sound of kids playing in the pool. She turned to me, intertwined her fingers asking if she could go into the pool later.

"WOW!!!" Was all the came from Gazzy's mouth when he finally saw the game room. "Can I have money to play?" He looked up at me with huge eyes, begging to go to the game room.

"Later, I need to get a room first and Angel wants to go to the pool," his face fell.

"Okay, but you promise I'll get to play before we leave?"

I rolled my eyes at him, he was so cute. "Yes, you will get to play. Don't worry about that."

He started jumping in place with excitement. I chuckled to myself, that's something I'd expect from Angel but not him. I guess it runs in the family though.

The front desk was completely deserted so I grabbed Angel and Gazzy and we walked up to guy behind the desk. His hair was ended at right above his ears and had that natural messy look to it, that didn't look to bad on him. His eyes were as dark as his hair, not brown but not completely black. He looked to be around 5'10" and a slender build to him. You could see his arm muscles through the shirt and as soon as he laid his eyes on me, a humongous smile spread out across his face.

"Hi, what can I do for you," a flirtatious smile was on his face and he was leaning over the counter trying to get as close to me as he could without taking his feet off the ground.

"Can we have one room with three queen sized beds?" I asked ignoring the looks he was giving me. It doesn't matter how cute he is, I'd rather not have anyone hitting on me.

"Sure," I handed him my ATM card and he typed everything into the computer. "I can give you a discount in exchange for something else," his smile grew and lifted his eyebrows and I knew exactly what he meant.

"That's okay, I just want the keys and head to our room," there was hurt in his eyes from my rejection and his smile fell. He dragged his feet to the computer and pulled out the room keys for us. "Thanks," we left the front desk with Gazzy and Angel laughing their heads off at the guy who just hit on me.

"It wasn't that funny," I told them but that just made them laugh harder.

"Yes…haha…it was…haha…you should have…haha…seen…haha….the expression…haha…on your face," Gazzy had trouble getting the words out with his uncontrollable laughter.

"Let's just get up to our room and we can see if there are any swimsuits at the hotel store so we can go swimming."

Our room was on the tenth floor of the hotel and there was an amazing view of the whole city. Lights sparkled for miles around. The sun was setting and shades of blue, red and yellow captured the sky making the sky look amazing.

"I love sunsets," Angel walked up next to me and joined me with leaning against the balcony railing.

"Girls," Gazzy scoffed at us but I could see him catching peeks at the sunset.

We stared at the sunset until the sky was devoured in dark blue and shining stars.

"Are we going to head to the pool before it closes?" Angel asked.

"Yes, I saw a sign that said the hotel store is open until 8 so we'd better hurry," we scurried down to the hotel store.

"Pick out what you want but only a swimsuit," I stared at Angel the whole time. Knowing her, she'd buy all the stuffed animals there.

"Here Max," Gazzy handed me his dinosaur print swim trunks that went a little past his knees.

I reluctantly took the swim trunks from him. "At least you are quicker then Angel. I think she's gone through each swim suit at least ten times."

Gazzy leaned his head back on the wall. He definitely wanted to leave the store as much as I did.

"This one is for you Max," Angel came sprinting back to where Gazzy and I were standing with two swimsuits in her hand. One was a black and white polka dot bikini, I'm guessing that one is for me, and the other one is a butterfly tankini that ties around the neck.

She shoved the bikini into my arms and pushed me into the closest changing stall.

Ugh, I leaned my head against the wall. Why does Angel always choose me the skimpiest clothing for me? I thought to myself.

"Because I can," she called over the changing stall.

I put the bikini on as quickly as I could. I really didn't want to wear this thing but Angel would pull the bambi eyes again and I can't resist them.

"Okay, I put it on," I said to Angel and Gazzy.

"Come out and show it to us," Angel called back.

"How about you just come in here Angel? I don't want to walk out of this stall with just this on," she must have a smile on her face by now.

"Fine," the door to the changing stall opened and Angel walked. "You look amazing Max. Why are you so embarrassed?"

I don't know the answer to that but how am I suppose to hide my wings?

"There is just one problem," I pointed to where my wings should have been in the back. "Wh…what?"

"It seems that after all these years that they blend in so you can't see them," she replied.

Why didn't I think of that? It's not like we stare at where our wings are tucked away all day. Angel laughed at the thoughts running through my head.

"So are you going to buy the swimsuit now," she asked me with her excitement growing with every word she says.

I really didn't want to but, "Yes," I told her. She squealed overjoyed with me.

We opened the door to the stall and Gazzy was leaning against one of the other stalls looking extremely bored. He was watching his right foot sliding back and forth across the carpet.

"Time to go," Gazzy's head shot up at the sound of my voice and he looked excited and relived to finally be able to get out of the store.

The walk back to the room consisted of Angel and Gazzy poking each other.

*Poke* "Haha, you can't get me," Angel laughed at her brother.

"Just wait and see, I'll get you before we get back to the room," an evil smile spread out across his face. By the look on Angel's face, he was blocking out his thoughts from her. I want to know how to do that.

"Can we pet the puppy?" Gazzy asked pointing at nothing. Angel and I both gave him and strange look.

"OW!!" Angel raised her voice and I turned to see Gazzy poking her arm ten million times over.

They can be extremely childish sometimes, I laughed at them.

"Get ready and meet back here," I yelled at them as they ran to their rooms as soon as I opened the door.

I took my time getting dressed; I didn't want to be caught in the bikini. Hopefully there aren't many people at the pool, I prayed to myself.

Gazzy and Angel were jumping in the doorway when I was finished getting dressed.

"Come on. Let's go," they said in unison while Gazzy grabbed my wrist and dragged me out of the room.

The pool had a sun roof and all the walls were made up of glass windows so you could see everything outside. There are two water slides and the pool is as huge as the rooms. Not many people are at the pool though. Some kids are splashing each other while their parents watch them and there was an old man swimming laps.

Two white blotches covered my vision. Gazzy and Angel threw their towels on my head while they jumped in and soaked my feet with water.

"Gotcha Max," Angel yelled to me. The towels flew out of my hand and I landed belly-flop style in the water.

"Are you okay?" Gazzy asked and he watched as red spots formed on my stomach.

"I'm good, don't worry," I swam up to the edge of the pool, turned around, jumped up and let my feet sway in the water.

"Do you want to play catch?" I heard Angel ask Gazzy from across the pool.

"YES!" Gazzy yelled right back with excitement.

He swam to the edge of the pool and grabbed one of those squishy balls from a basket at the edge of the pool.

I watched as the ball flew back and forth.

"Haha, you missed," they'd yell to each other every once in a while.

After a while I let my thoughts take over and paid no attention to anything that was going on.

"Whoops," Angel and Gazzy cried at the same time.

The 'whoops' pulled me out of my thoughts.

I looked up just in time to see the ball hit a guy who was also sitting on the edge of the pool like me. He was only a few feet to my right. When did he get here? Usually I notice everything that goes on around me.

"Here," he handed the ball back to Gazzy with no emotion on his face. His face was completely straight and nothing shone in his, not even a little hint.

His pitch black hair fell over his ears and covered over the top half of his eyes. He had that naturally messy look to it and it looked amazingly gorgeous on him. The blackness of his eyes matched his hair. The muscles in his arms rippled with every movement he made and his abs looked rock solid. It took me a while to realize that I was still staring at him.

"Hi," his left eyebrow rose. He probably thinks I'm a creepy stalker person just sitting here and staring at him.

"Hey," I replied to him and turned my head away so he couldn't see the blush the crept onto my face.

"I'm Max," I stuck out my hand for him to shake it.

"Fang," he grabbed my hand and I could feel electricity flowing through me at his touch.

Maybe stopping here was a good thing. I could feel a smile creeping across my lips at my thoughts.

Fang's POV

I was watching my feet swaying in the luke warm water of the pool when a soft splash ball hit me straight on in the head.

Why did Iggy and Nudge talk me into coming to the pool? All I want to do is sleep right now.

Since I was born, I've lived in a cage. Iggy has been my best friend for as long as I could remember and it devastated me, not that I'd let anyone know that, when he lost his eye site from one of the white coats stupid experiments. He is an amazing cook though. Then Nudge, that girl can't shut up, the whole way here she was chatting on and on about Disneyland, not that we've ever been there.

The kid who threw the ball swam over to me. He seemed young, around 8, and his hair was super blond. Amazingly it looked exactly like the color of Iggy's hair.

"Here," I handed him the splash ball. He ignored me, saying 'thanks,' and swam back out to play with an even younger blond headed girl. Their looks seemed so alike that they could be siblings.

My eyes turned back to my feet and I could see a girl, who looked about my age just staring at me. Her dirty blond hair flew down in beautiful waves and her chocolate brown eyes bore into my eyes and could have kept me there all day.

"Hi," I broke the stare that she was giving me.

"Hey," she replied. She turned her head away but I could see a rosy color forming on her cheeks. I couldn't believe that she was blushing but it looked cute on her.

"I'm Max," she told me after the blush had disappeared completely from her face. Her arm stuck out waiting for me to say my name and shake her hand.

"Fang," I used my usual one word reply and intertwined my hand with hers. A spark of electricity soared through my body. Whoa, did that just happen? Did she feel that too or was it just me?

Maybe…nah that can't be it. She'd never like me. Who'd ever like me? Hopefully I'll get to see her again and this won't be the first or last time.
