Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride.

A/N: Something that popped into my head from an earlier Maximum Ride book where she said "I had known Fang ever since they put our cages next to each other back at the School." Enjoy! :)


"In you go." The whitecoats pushed Max into her small dog crate. Max obeyed only because she knew what happened when she didn't. That didn't stop her from glaring at them. Even though she was only five she still had one mean glare. Three of the four whitecoats shrank back a little bit. The other one wasn't scared of her.

"Go ahead and bring the other one in." He said. A couple of other whitecoats started dragging in a dark hair boy that looked about Max's age. And he had wings! Just like her except his were black. This caught her interest. She had never seen anyone else with wings. It was strange. They put the boy into a cage next to her. The boy glared at them when they shut the door behind him and locked it. Max decided that she liked this guy. "Let's see how it reacts to other ones of it's kind." The one whitecoat continued. The look on his face showed that he hoped it wouldn't be a good reaction. They all left.

Max turned to the dark haired boy. "Hi." she said. The dark haired boy looked up, surprised. "It's okay, I won't hurt you." She smiled at him. The boy smiled back, a little smile that didn't last long but still a smile. "I'm Maximum Ride. But you can call me Max. What's your name?" She stuck her hand threw the bars.

The boy thought for a moment. "Fang." he said and shook her hand.

"Nice to meet you, Fang." Max said.


A/N: Wouldn't five year old Fang be so cute? :) Anywho....pretty please with cherries and gumdrops and chocolate and bananas and nuts on top review!
