(A.N. This is my first fan fiction. I worked hard on it, so please review on any mistakes or ideas. I also have school so I'll update when I can.)

Summary: Max and Fang are boyfriend and girlfriend, and they tell each other everything. But then one day, Max disappears. When she comes back a week or so later, she is secretive and jumpy and doesn't trust anyone. Will she ever tell Fang what happened? Fax, Fax, and did I mention Fax?

Ugh, how did I get myself into this? I thought to myself as I fingered another dress. "Max! Just pick your freaking dress!" My friend Nudge yelled at me.

If you haven't noticed yet, my name is Maximum Ride, Max for short. I might have made this clear already, but I hate dresses. So, naturally, I am shopping for a formal dress. Formal, as in generally-pink-and-poofy formal. But that doesn't mean I'm going to get pink. Nudge has already made my try on rack after rack of dresses. But, none of them were 'the dress.'

My best friend in the whole world, also known as my soul mate, Fang, asked me to go to the prom with him. It was the last dance till next year, so everyone was desperate to find a date. Luckily, mine was easy to pick out.

"Max, I think this blue dress here will compliment your eyes and hair. I can go look for some cute shoes while you try it on. OMG that reminds me! I need to find some lace gloves for my dress. Have you ever noticed how anybody looks like royalty when they put on fancy gloves? I've always wanted to be royalty. Have muo..." I slapped my hand over Nudge's mouth to shut her up. I just picked up the dress and walked into the changing room.

The dress that Nudge picked out was a cotton/polyester mix making it extremely soft. The dress hugged my body in all the right places, and made my chest seem more defined. It hung down a couple inches from my knees, and had small, frilly 'folds' crawling up the sides, causing the dress to be higher up on the sides then in the front and back. I have to admit, Nudge really found a winning dress.

"Nudge? Have you found some shoes for this dress yet? I think this is the one." I called through the door. I heard clicking heels and saw a pair of baby blue slippers slide under the door. "Thanks!"

"Put on the shoes! I must see this. Should I take a picture and send it to Fang? I'm sure he'd love to see the dress on you-"

"NUDGE!"

"What?"

"Let's wait till the prom to show Fang my dress. Okay?"

I heard Nudge sigh, "Fine Max... Can I see the dress though?"

Sighing, I opened the door. Nudge's eyes bugged out. I glared at her, "Take a picture. It'll last longer. Now let's just buy the freaking dress and get the hell outta here!" Surprisingly, Nudge stayed silent while she took out her wallet. I strode back into the changing room and scrambled back into my jeans and tee shirt that said "Find 'x'.' and a small arrow pointing to an x saying, 'Here it is!' When I came back out, Nudge was sitting on the stool with her head in her hands. "Nudge, whats wrong?"

She glanced up at me and sighed, "You look beautiful in everything and I don't. I want to look good at the dance, because I'm going with Iggy. Iggy! I just wish I looked like you..."

"Nudge... You are beautiful. In your own way. If it makes you feel better, I'll pay for the dress. And... I'll... Let you... Put make up on me..." The last part I whispered under my breath.

Nudge's eyes lit up, "What was that? I think I've finally gone crazy. Did you say you'd let me put make up on you?" I nodded and glanced at the floor. "ZOMG! Max! The apocalypse is coming! I can't believe it!" The radio stayed on Nudge Channel till I glared at her. She luckily dropped the subject.

When we got back to my house, my handsome boyfriend was sitting on my couch asleep. Nudge looked at me and told me she'd put my stuff upstairs.

"Fang..." I whispered, gently shaking his shoulders. He grunted and shifted. "Fang..."

Then he snorted and mumbled, "Sparkle Butt... my faithful unicorn... take me to... Rainbow Weiner..." I just looked at him wide eyed. Then started cracking up. I was laughing so hard I fell off the couch and landed on my hip. I winced but couldn't stop laughing. Fang bolted up and looked at me, on alert. He just watched me, with a confused look. I just pointed at him, gasping for air, still laughing my butt off.

"You... you... Sparkle Butt? Rainbow... Weiner?" I gasped. Fang's eyes widened and his cheeks turned a slight shade of scarlet.

"Well, hello to you too..." he mumbled not looking at me.

"What about weiners?" Nudge questioned.

"Nothing"

"Fang said fbahrkel-"

"Shut up, Max!" Fang hissed in my ear.

I sighed, "Fine. It was nothing." Nudge sent me a skeptical glance, and declared that she needed to get home. I watched her leave, then sat down next to Fang. "So, I got my dress!" I told him happily.

He looked at me and gave me his special smirk. "Did you get your tux?" I asked. He nodded. "Why aren't you talking to me?"

"No reason."

"Okay then. Are you excited?"

"Of course."

"Well, I'm tired. You can sleep with me, or on the couch if you want." I yawned. Fang smirked then picked me up bridal style. "Put me down, Fang! Ugh! Put. Me. Down!" He dropped me onto my bed and then climbed in next to me.

"By the way, Fang. What was with Sparkle Butt and Rainbow Weiner?"

(A.N. So how you like? Sorry if anyone is OOC, I tried, and that's all that matters. R&R please! :D)
