A/N Updating when I have the time. Please review and tell me what you think. I already know that Fang is a little oc, but I believe he would open up a little bit to the world if he was living a semi normal life. Constructional criticism is appreciated.  I do not own Maximum Ride, no matter how much I wish I do.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fang quietly left the room, internally grinning from ear to ear.

Now that he had permission, all Fang had to do was tell the flock. No big deal, except for the fact that they were all over the place.

First Fang knocked on Nudge's door.

"Come in!" She sang.

Oh boy. Fang did not want to go into Nudge's room. The bright colors hurt his eyes. From the polka dot walls to the hot pink shag rug over the hardwood floor, Nudge's room was overwhelming. "Kind of like Nudge," Fang thought. Fang covered his eyes and entered.

"Fang, oh my God. What are you doing here? I thought you hated my room, though I don't see why because it is perfectly fabulous. But I guess since you like black a lot, and there is absolutely no black in my room that may be a factor. And, hey! Why are you covering your eyes? Oh, I get it! You still hate my room. But then why…"

Fang cut her off. Man, that girl could talk.

"Nudge, living room. Half hour." Fang kept it short. He really wanted to get out of that room.

\

"Okay, but why? Can't you tell me now Fang?"

Fang left before she could finish her thought.

The next place Fang decided to check was the basement. That was usually where Iggy and the Gasman hung out. He crept down the landing. As soon as Gazzy saw that it was Fang, he released his breath.

"Thank God Ig, we're fine. It's just Fang."

"What are you guys up to this time? Something Max would hate I'm sure." Fang said with a chuckle. He loved Max, but sometimes she was just a little too tense.

"Sup man." Ig said.

"Tell ya in a bit. Meet me in the family room in twenty." Fang said with a grin. You see, Derek, Joe, Chris and Gabe were all Iggy's friends as well. He was going to be ecstatic to see them over summer break.

Fang looked everywhere for Max and Angel, but he just couldn't find them. There was only one more place to look… the pool.

He pulled open the back door and his heart skipped a beat. Angel was attempting to do a pirouette under water, but Max was about to cannonball into the pool.

You would think he would be used to it by now, I mean seeing Max in her yellow polka dot bikini. In the silence of his heart, he thanked Nudge and Angel every day for making her buy that one instead of the one piece Speedo suit. Of course, they had good logic for the bikini. The one piece would have been hard for her to wear because of her wings. Thank God for her wings!

Fang shook his head to bring him back down to earth. Uh oh. While he had been zoning, Angel had alerted Max of his presence. Where did they go? They weren't in the pool anymore.

Max and Angel were right behind him.

"On the count of three," Angel thought to Max.

"One!" They both yelled.

Angel jumped on Fang's back and Max shoved them both into the pool.

Fang didn't come up out of the water! Max bent down near the end of the pool in the deep end to see if she could see Fang. The top half of his head showed up in front of her. His eyes looked devious, like he was planning something. He raised one eyebrow.

"Why must you insist on getting my clothes soaked?" He asked jokingly.

"Because I love you?"

Suddenly, Fang grabbed Max's hands and pulled her into the water.

"You dog! What was that for?" Max proclaimed.

"Living room in five, see ya." Fang scampered out of the pool and ran inside.
