Okay this is how the whole "Fang and Lissa" thing should have gone. I know some people have tried to rewrite it but they mad Max all emo and depressed and not how the incredible, indescribable Maximum Ride should be. In this fanfic Max kicks ass and takes names. But enough with the summary and on with the story.

Disclaimer : don't own nuttin. Pshhh I wish.

I walked down the hall as quickly as I could without making any noise.

Ter Borcht: evil genetic scientist. Gee, one of the family. Had I ever heard that name before? Clearly he must have been involved with Jeb, the School, the whitecoats, at some point. I mean, how many independent evil genetic researchers could there be? Surely they all kept in touch, exchanged notes, built mutants together…

This was a huge breakthrough – or another horribly disappointing dead end. Whichever it was, I couldn't wait to talk to the flock about it. Just as I hurried past an empty classroom, I caught sight of Fang. Excellent – I had five minutes till my next class. I started to head in, then realized he wasn't alone. A girl was with him, talking to him, looking earnest. Fang was standing there impassively as she went on, brushing her long dark red hair over her shoulder.

I grinned. Poor Fang. Was she selling something? Asking him to join the Chess Club?

In the next moment, the girl had put both her hands on Fang's chest and pushed him against the wall. I strode forward, reaching out to yank open the door. Even if she was and Eraser, Fang and I could make mincemeat out of her.

Then I froze. It wasn't an attack. The girl had pressed herself against Fang like static cling, and she went on her tiptoes and kissed him, right on the mouth.

Fang stood there for a moment, then his hands came up holding her around the waist. I waited for him to push her away, hoping he would be sensitive about it, not to hurt her feelings.

But I watched, dumbfounded, as Fang's hands slid slowly up her back, holding the girl closer. He angled his head so they could kiss better.

I stepped back, not breathing, feeling like I was going to hurl.

Oh, God…

Before I could even take a breath I was moving forward towards the room. What is he doing? What am I doing? I ripped open the door, and pushed the Redhaired Wonder away from Fang.

"What are doing?" I asked. Hurt and fury in my voice. I looked to Fang. His face flushed and eyes wide with disbelief.

"Max?" Fang asked, his voice shaking.

Oh, he better be scared.

"Who are you?" the Redhaired Wonder asked, annoyed that they had been interrupted.

"I'm his…sister!" I turned away from her, my fury washed away.

What am I doing here?

I spun on my heel and practically sprinted out the door and down the hall. A cold sweat beaded on my forehead. I couldn't breath.

Calm down, Max, calm down.

Tears started to well up.

No! I am not going to cry about this! Nothing can make me cry! Who cares if he kissed every girl in this school? …I did. No I don't. Great now I'm having an argument with myself. Best, freaking, day ever.

I heard foot steps behind me.

"Max, wait!"

And it just got a whole lot better. Fang.
