If you didn't read the prologue this is a story that is told from Max and Fang's 14 year old, Ava, daughter's perspective. I'm sorry to say that there really isn't any FAX in this story.

Disclaimer I do not own any of the plots or characters in the Maximum Ride series.

Enjoy!

Today was just another ordinary day. School starts at 8:15 but my mom needs to be there at the crack of dawn. So of course the amazing Maximum Ride has to wake us all up right before she leaves because she knows dad will never wake us up. Then it's off to school like an hour after we get up. Then when we're at school Ryan and I go our separate ways.

"Hey Ava!" Andrew called from behind me. Andrew is one of my friends, I guess you could say he's kind of cute but he's not really my type. My friend Kayla is convinced he likes me but honestly I'd rather be friends.

"Hey And, what's up?" I asked conversationally. Just if you were other people do know about my wings but the novelty wears off fast for most.

"Eh, nothing really, are you doing anything this afternoon?" He asked.

Honestly I try my hardest to be a nice person. I try, I really do. I began to open my mouth to speak but luckily Kayla came over to where Andrew and I were walking.

"Heya, what's up?" She said putting her hands on both of our shoulders. I swear I saw Andrew glare at her.

"Um, look there's Mel, Emma and Jordan," I said. I could feel the anger rolling off of Andrew and it was scaring me. Quickly I walked over to Melanie─ who we all call Mel─, Emma and Jordan.

Did I mention that I have the same hearing and sight as my parents? Actually almost everything my parents can do Ryan, Eric and I can do. Back on topic…

"Kayla what was that! Why did you do that!?" Andrew whispered/yelled at Kayla once I was out of normal hearing distance.

"Look, she wasn't going to say yes. She doesn't like you that way," Kayla said a little louder.

Finally I reached everyone else. "Hey, where is everyone?" Emma asked.

"Kayla and Andrew are arguing and everyone else is probably sleeping," I said and motioned my hand over at Kayla and Andrew.

"Twenty bucks says that John and Logan are sleeping." Jordan muttered.

"Ava," Ryan said from about 20 feet away. As usual I saw Emma and Melanie sneak a glance and blush.

"Joy, I'll see you later," I said and walked over to my brother. "¿Qué pasa?"

Ryan rolled his eyes, "Mom wants to see us."

"Apparently," I said. According to everyone I know I have my mom's personality. I really don't see it. We began walking towards her class, which was coincidentally on the other side of the school.

"Your friends are scaring me," Ryan stated.

"Tell me about it," I muttered.

He laughed. "Who's the blond one again?"

"Emma, why?" I asked him. Did I mention that my brothers and I have powers like the rest of the flock? Well I know when people are lying. Eric can persuade people to do whatever he wants them to do. Ryan has an extraordinarily good memory; I mean he doesn't even pay attention in class and he has 100% in every class.

"No reason," He said quietly.

"You are the worst liar I know," I said and smacked his arm.

"Yeah, yeah whatever," He said right as we got to my mom's classroom.

"Mmhmm, hey mom what's up?"

"Why are you two here? Ryan you were supposed to tell Ava not bring her here!" Max (my mom) said walking around the classroom.

"But I forgot," Ryan stated trying to be nonchalant.

"You really are the worst liar I know," I said to Ryan

"We're going to be going out of town for a couple weeks," my mom said interrupting the start of Ryan and my soon-to-be argument.

"That's it?" I said almost sarcastically.

"We are going on an international campaign to save the world," She said.

"Are you kidding me!? You've been doing this every couple years! The world is saved!" I almost yelled.

"God you are so dramatic," Ryan muttered.

"Look you can stay home by your selves if you really want to," Max said calmly.

"And let you travel the world without me! Are you out of your mind?"

"Actually you are just bi-polar, I get it now," Ryan continued to mutter under his breath.

"I'll let you bring some of your friends if you want," my mom said calmly.

"Okay, can we go now?" I asked her.

"Sure."

Almost instantaneously Ryan and I were out the door. "You should totally bring your blond friend," he said once we were about 100 feet from my mom's classroom.

"And you should totally bring one of your friends. Wait, I forgot, you don't have any!" I said sarcastically.

"I'll bring Nick," he said quietly. Immediately I was shocked. For one he actually knew that I've had a total crush on his friend Nick since the sixth grade. And second he was actually telling the truth.

"Fine," I said just as the bell rang.
