Ok people. The flock has split and it's five years later. Max is getting married to some guy. All the flock are there... except for one. What will happen?
That was a brief summary of my first FanFic (yaaaaaay). It's just some twoshot that I thought of after reading MR4.
Max's Wedding Day
Chapter 1
Max POV
It was my wedding day. One of the happiest days of my life. Well maybe not quite the happiest. I guess nothing beats escaping the evil whitecoats at the school, or finding out that Dr. Martinez was my mom, or just being alive with the flock, but still up there with them.
Anyway, my wedding day. I'm nineteen, maybe not old enough to get married, but hey, I'm not complaining. I was getting married to Chris, a guy I met at work. He was funny, kind, slightly handsome. He wasn't perfect, but no-one is. We'd got to know each other better, and then one day he asked me out. We'd been going for about two months when I told him about my wings. He was shocked at first. Obviously. But he just accepted me for who I was. A few months after that, we got engaged. Of course I accepted. I mean realistically, was I ever going to find anyone else like him. So here I was. A year after I'd met him, and we were walking down the aisle.
Chris and I had both invited the friends we knew. I'd sent out invitations to the flock. Gazzy and Angel were living with Dr. Martinez in Virginia. Iggy was up in LA, while Nudge was staying with her parents in Texas. Fang was in New York. It had been over two years since I'd last seen them. There was sooo much to catch up on. And here they were. My flock. Well, all minus one. Yep, you guessed it. Fang was absent. He was the only one who didn't respond to my invite. I knew he wouldn't. He'd just turn up. But then he didn't. God I was mad. When I next saw him I was gonna kill him. How dare he. I knew he still lived there. Iggy had been there only the other week. I wondered if he was late. I know, Fang is never late for anything.
He was probably still annoyed after where we'd left off. We had had one of our arguments, and I'd smashed his computer then told him I didn't love him and that none of the flock did. It wasn't true. I loved Fang more than anyone else in the world. I was just so freaking mad at him. He stormed out into the night and flew off. It was only the next morning that I realized what I'd done. I searched far and wide for him but with no such luck. After that the flock just fell apart. We all went our separate ways, but still kept in contact. That was all over two years ago.
I was speechless as I stood next to Chris on the aisle. Everything the priest said went in one ear and the other. I barely remember putting on the ring and the cheers all around when we kissed. Suddenly I was sitting next to my flock, enjoying the after wedding ceremony.
"Oh my god. You look so beautiful. And your ring…. I am going to have one like this when I get married. Do you think I'll ever get married? Who to? Oh. Please be Zach Efron. He is just like soooo hot. Where will we go on our honeymoon? I think I'll get married when I'm nineteen like Max. Who do you think will want to marry me?" Yeah. That was Nudge.
"No-one if you keep up with the motor mouthing" said Iggy sarcastically. He and Gazzy burst out laughing, while Angel tried to hide the smirk on her face. Even I had trouble keeping a straight face.
"Iggy. Be nice" I said back to Iggy who was now banging on the table. I know we were all grown up now, but I'm still like a mother to them.
"So how have you been Gazzy" I said eager to catch up.
"I'm great. Even better now seeing all of you guys here". What a sweet kid.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw someone in the crowd. Someone with midnight black hair, and slightly olive skin. Fang! I turned my head but he wasn't there. I looked back at Nudge, who was talking about getting married again. I felt anxious. Jeez, why was I getting all cut up over Fang not being here?
"I thought I saw him too". I turned round to see Angel's innocent ten-year-old face smiling sweetly at me. 'Little mind-reader' I thought.
"I can't help it Max… It was him wasn't it? It was Fang."
"I don't know sweetie. I don't know". I hugged her into my chest and felt her hand brush over my tan-coloured wings. I saw Chris walking over to me smiling.
"Max. It's time to go". Going where I hear you ask. Well to our honeymoon. Duh! I stood up disentangling Angel. The rest of the flock stood up and sandwiched me in a huge flock hug. Just like the ones we used to have. Except it wasn't quite complete.
"Okay guys. I have to go now", I said "but I promise I'll try to see you more often now days". At this their faces lit.
"Enjoy your honeymoon" Iggy said in his usual 'take the mick' tone. I was tempted to hit him but instead I just glared. Then I remembered he was blind.
Chris and I walked hand in hand through the churches double doors, while everyone crowded round throwing confetti and flowers. Once again I caught a glimpse of midnight black hair amongst the crowd. It was gone as soon as it had appeared. God Fang. Why did he have to torment me like this. In the end I decided it wasn't Fang. After all. Why would he come, but not speak to any of the flock.
I opened the door of the car and hopped in next to Chris. He gave me a quick peck on the cheek and put his arm around my shoulders. God. Has any avian-human hybrid ever felt so good. But this was more to me than just getting married. Finally, I felt like I fit in, like I actually belonged somewhere. I even, for a split-second, felt like I was normal. Yeah right.
Ok. So maybe not that good. But still, I like it. I will add a next chapter just to finish the story off. Definitely FAX.
