Hey all. I have writers block on my other story, so i was like: why don't i write this in the mean time? Some other people have written something that touches on the same subject. I just want them to know, i'm not trying to steal their work or anything, the topic just gave me an idea.

This story is just gunna be a whole bunch of random one-shots when i feel like writing them. They might be every day or every month, week, whatever.

Disclaimer For Entire Story: I DON'T OWN MAX RIDE! Although i can't wait for the fourth book.

Chapter 1: Feeling Sick

I sighed grumpily, laying down on Mom's comfortable big brown couch. Fang was typing something into his Lap Top, either on his blog or surfing the net, and Ella was reading People magazine next to me.

"Evil." I blurted out. Fang looked up at me.

"Itex." I smirked. So he didn't forget the game. It was called Word Association. Somebody says something random, and the next person says the first thing that comes to mind.

"Retarded." Ella muttered under her breath.

"Sick." I flipped through the Da Vinci Code. Mom said it was good.

"Flu." Replied Fang, clicking some random button.

"Shots." I shuddered, thinking back to when Mom, Dr. Martinez, took the chip out of my arm.

"Valium." Ella giggled and I shot her a look. I heard Fang snicker behind me.

"Lies." I mutterd, looking at the cable box. 10:22 AM.

"Erasers." Iggy walked into the room and got a screw driver, before dashing up stairs. I shook my head, I didn't want to know.

"Wolves." Ella's eyes went wide as she flipped another page.

If you're not up to date already, maybe you shouldn't be reading this. But whatever, I'll explain. If you already know our story, you might want to skip down a little.

Me (Max), Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy and Angel make up the flock. My flock.

Yeah, you heard me, flock. Like birds.

We're all 98 percent human and 2 percent bird; we have wings. You're probably thinking: Holy crap! This chic has problems! Yeah, well, I wish.

For our whole lives we've been chased, kidnapped, tortured and more by this place called The School. No, not that school. This School is run by Itex and some sadistic witch who's like obssesed with creating some new perfect world.

Long story short, we grew up at the School, and now I'm stuck trying to save the world with a voice in my head. Not just any voice. My dad. Yeah, how's that for fun?

Along the way we met my mom and sister, Dr. and Ella Martinez, and we destroyed most, if not all, of Itex.

Good morning Maximum.

Speak of the devil.

Hello daddy dearest, i thought sarcastically.

"Moon." I said, distracted by the voice in my head. Right now we were staying with Mom in Arizona for a little bit. To get some rest and relaxation. The only problem? Mom enrolled us in school.

Are you feeling well? Jeb asked

oh yeah, fine and dandy.

He didn't respond, not that he did much anyways.

"Night." Fang's voice said.

"Dance." Ella grinned at me and I shrugged.

"Music."

"Ugggghhhh" Nudge was back. She had gone over to her friend Becca's house and spent the night. Angel left a few minutes ago for a play date with her friend Lily.

"Awwww! You ruined it!" Ella laughed, looking back at Nudge.

She shrugged and clutched her stomach, grimacing, "Max, i don't feel well. My tummy hurts so bad, like a thirteen wheeler just ran over it or something. Becca said she had the flu last week. Do you think it's the flu? uuggggh..."

I smiled sadly at her, "Go upstairs and get some rest, ok?" She nodded, trudging up the stairs

As much as I loved that girl, she needed to stop talking. She didn't talk as much as she used to, but she still did. She had also outgrown that whole Tiffany-Krystal Butterfly name after the whole defeating Itex thing. At school she was simply known as Jessica.

Today was the 2nd of February right? Only seven more days till Nudge's birthday. She was turning 12. Jeez, these kids we're growing up faster than I thought.

"I'm bored." Ella muttered, setting down the magazine.

Fang just nodded, before typing more stuff.

"What are you doing?" I asked him, sitting up a little. We had been a lot closer since the flock got back together, but it was still awkward at times. I mean come on, I loved the guy, but could he put the computer down for two minutes?

"Surfing the net." He muttered.

"For what?" He had been on there ever since breakfast.

"A birthday present." Oh yeah… he had talking about that yesterday.

"Uh…. Right." I muttered, feeling stupid.

Ella snickered and I shot her a look.

"What?" She asked, standing up and stretching.

I glared, "Whatever."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" We all looked towards the stares to here a very Nudge-like scream.

"Oh crap!" A jumped over the couch and ran upstairs, dashing towards the noise, instinct kicking in. Had flyboys found us?

"MAAAAAAXXXXXX!!" I ran towards the bathroom.

"What Nudge?" I ran in and saw Nudge looking at a stained pair of panties. What?

"I think i'm expiring!" She cried, looking at me tearfully. Ella, Fang, Gazzy and Iggy were all standing by the door, all equally scared.

I looked at the panties and back and Nudge. It took a moment for me to connect it.

"Nudge, honey, you're not expiring." I explained, hugging her and laughing shakily. It took a little bit for the adrenaline in my veins to stop.

Nudge looked over at everybody else, "Um, in that case, can ya'll leave? Cause ya know, this is a little awkward..." she trailed off.

There came various yeah's from the bunch as they went back to doing what they were doing before.

"Ok, Nudge, before I tell you want this is about, I need you to change and use this." I handed her a pad from the bottom drawer.

"What's this? A diaper? Ew Max! You said I wasn't expiring!" She exclaimed and I rolled my eyes at her.

"I know, sweetie. And your not. Just listen to what I say." I walked out of the bathroom and downstairs, getting a glass off water and some Midol for Nudge.

"What's up with her?" Fang asked, looking up from his blog.

I showed him the Midol.

"Oh... ..." He seemed at loss for words.

"Yeah." I muttered, walking back upstairs. Nudge was sitting in her room, wait for me. Here goes nothing.

An hour later, I was sitting across from a totally disturbed Nudge.

"Oh ew! That's just wrong!" She cried. I nodded.

"It's life Nudge. When I was your age I had to get the talk from Jeb." I said difficultly, staring at the ceiling.

"Um... i'm hungry. Can we go downstairs and like get some hot chocolate. I love hot chocolate. Especially with marshmallows. They kinda melt ya know, and they're all goey. And sometimes, if the hot chocolate is real good, it's pepperminty. I love peppermint hot chocolate." I clamped my hand over her mouth, trying to shut her up.

"Ok Nudge, you can have hot chocolate, just stop talking!"

We headed downstairs and I put some water on to boil.

"Don't hurt yourself." Fang muttered. Was he still blogging?

"Haha." I said dryly, pouring some of the hot chocolate mix into a cup.

He gave me one of his rare grins and went back to whatever he was doing. My heart rate sped up and I looked away. His smiles turned me to jelly.

Does the Great Maximum Ride have feelings for Fang?

Oh yay... Dad was back...

I didn't know you could be sarcastic. And no, I don't. He's just my best friend.

I think I heard the voice snigger.

"Ugh!" I cried, trying to glare mentally.

Fang looked at me again, "You ok?"

I nodded.

"Voice?" He knew me too well.

"Yeah, it's bugging me again." I muttered, pouring the boiling water into Nudge's hot chocolate.

"About what?" He prompted.

You can't stay here too long. You shouldn't get used to this life

I sighed out loud, getting a spoon and sturring Nudge's drink.

Then what am I supposed to do?

Think, Maximum. You know the answer.

Ugh, cryptic much?

Itex is building itself up as we speak. You need to save the world.

yeah. but how?

think.

"Max?" Fang shut off his computer and sat on the counter.

"Yeah?" I was still slightly distracted by what the voice had said.

"What did it say this time?"

I shook my head, blushing a bit, "Same old. How we can't stay here forever. Yada yada yada. Save the world," I shrugged, "Nudge! Hot Chocolate!"

Fang nodded at me, staring intently at the wall.

I ran a hand through my hair, sighing, "I don't know how i'm supposed to do this all. I just want to live a normal life. But at the same time, i'm supposed to be the Great Maximum Ride." I muttered.

He shrugged. "Then enjoy it well you can." Ah, yes, a man of many words.

I shook it off, walking up to my bedroom. I needed a nap, all this saving the world talking was making my stomach hurt.

Was it too OOC? Anyways, Reviews would be awesome and stuff. Please and Thank you!
