::MAXPOV::

Backstage is amazing, there's free food, free security and the dressing room is HUGE! We didn't have much time to enjoy it because we got there a little late and had to go to stage to watch the band.

"HEY COLORADO!", Jaay yelled into the microphone and the crowd yelled back "HEY JAAY".

"Wow, they got the crowd trained like . . . Dogs" Nudge said.

"Yeah, its weird" I said.

"OK, as you probly know its our twentieth birthday in 2 hours so were gonna do some new songs and a special surprise for you guys 'cause you're the best fans ever we're gonna sing all the songs on our new album for the first time ever". the crowd went mental at that.

"OK, YOU GUYS READY?" Trix yelled into his microphone. "YES!"

"ALRIGHT, LETS GO!"

(The songs they sung are off Avril Lavigne's album 'Under My Skin' and Leona Lewis' album 'Spirit').

"OK, GUYS, HERES A BRAND NEW SONG JUST FOR YOU!" Jaay yelled.

You know that feeling?

You look across the room,

See someone that you like.

Suddenly life has a meaning,

It's hard to believe it,

That you have a reason,

To get out of your bed,

Get ready for each day,

It's hard to believe it,

But you gotta try.

You know that feeling?

You see him come over,

Your heart starts flipping.

And you don't know why.

Suddenly life has a meaning,

It's hard to believe it,

That you have a reason,

To get out of your bed,

Get ready for each day,

It's hard to believe it,

But you gotta try.

You look his eyes,

And he looks back,

Your hearts have stopped beating,

But you still don't know why.

Suddenly life has a meaning,

It's hard to believe it,

That you have a reason,

To get out of your bed,

Get ready for each day,

But you gotta try.

'Cause now your in love,

You just don't know it,

All that you know is.

You have to believe it,

That you have a reason,

To get up out of your bed,

To Get ready for each day,

You have to believe it,

Please just believe it,

Please really do try.

Please let me explain it,

'Cause you still don't know,

That your in love,

Everyone's staring,

'Cause it happened so fast,

It only took a few seconds,

One look between you,

For it to begin.

Now your life has a meaning,

You really believe it,

That you have a reason,

To get up out of your bed,

To Get ready for each day,

Now you believe it,

You really believe it,

Now please just remember.

That he is the reason,

That your life has begun,

Now please don't forget,

That he is important,

He's the air inside you,

The numbers that count down,

The one, the two, the one, two, three, four.

Now please just remember.

That he is your true love,

Your constant companion,

Now he'll never leave you,

He'll always stay true,

And so should you.

So should you.

"OK, THIS IS THE MOMENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR. . . FANG'S FIRST EVER SONG!" The crowd went way beyond mental when that was said.

"Uh, this song's for Max" Fang said and the band turned away from the crowd and walked to a lift. "They aren't gonna kill themselves are they?" I asked Angel

"No, it's a stunt"

"Oh, OK"

The music started and even the fans had gone quiet as Fang started to sing.

Paper bags and plastic hearts,

All our belongings in shopping carts,

Goodbye,

We got one more night,

Lets get drunk on ride arounds,

And make peace with an empty town,

We can make it right.

Throw it away,

Forget yesterday,

We'll make the great escape,

We wont hear a word they say,

They don't know us anyway,

Watch and burn,

Let it die,

'Cause we are finally free tonight.

Tonight we'll change our lives,

We'll cry,

We wont give up the fight,

We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs,

And they'll thinks its just 'cause we're young,

We'll feel so alive.

Throw it away,

Forget yesterday,

We'll make the great escape,

We wont hear a word they say,

They don't know us anyway,

Watch and burn,

Let it die,

'Cause we are finally free tonight.

All the wasted time,

The hours that were left behind,

The answers that we'll never find,

They don't mean a thing tonight.

Throw it away,

Forget yesterday,

We'll make the great escape,

We wont hear a word they say,

They don't know us anyway.

Throw it away,

Forget yesterday,

We'll make the great escape,

We wont hear a word they say,

They don't know us anyway.

Throw it away,

Forget yesterday,

We'll make the great escape,

We wont hear a word they say,

They don't know us anyway,

Watch and burn,

Let it die,

'Cause we are finally free tonight.

The song finished and the crowd screamed.

Some movement caught my eye, I look towards the big TV that displayed the bands faces, it now said 'HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY WINGLESS'. the sides of the screen exploded as fire works shot out and Jaay, Trix and Fang jumped down and did cartwheels off the stage, well Fang and Trix did. Jaay somersaulted right into the middle of the crowd. The crowd was Ballistic now. They get excited by the simplest stuff. We walked out on stage and jumped off to help the guys, Jaay was a lost cause. "Max, me and Angel are going after Jaay" Nudge yelled. I wasn't really paying attention to her enough to notice what she said, I was trying to find Fang.

"Fang?"

"Yeah?" Fang said right next to me. I turned and saw him fighting against the fans who were now I noticed mostly girls. I jumped onto the stage and offered him my hand, he took it and I pulled him up.

"Jaay's idea?" I asked Fang.

"Not all of it"

"What do you mean?"

"Well it was her idea to summersault into the middle of the crowd but me and Trix wouldn't do it so we decided to just cartwheel to the front".

"Oh, Hey, why do you talk so much now?" I asked having only noticed just now.

"Well, talking shows your emotions and I was always emotionless so I spoke the same way. But now it pointless, Jaay knows what all of my emotions are and I'm happy so it doesn't matter if I get made fun of about my emotions"

"Wow, that's a mouthful"

"Yeah, you haven't noticed I smile more yet?"

"No"

"Max, I was laughing for about 5 minutes when I saw Total and you haven't noticed I smile more?"

"No" I said and he laughed.

"Thanks for your help" said Trix sarcastically jumping onto the stage.

"Oh, yeah I was busy" Fang said smiling.

"I don't even wanna know what you where doing"

"Neither do I, but I already know so it doesn't really matter" said Jaay.

"How do you know?" Angel asked jumping onto the stage after Nudge.

"I can see the future"

"Cool" Nudge said.

"Hey, Nudge while we're on the subject, why don't you talk much any more?"

"Erm, I dunno" I saw Jaay edging away with Angel.

"Stop, do you two know?"

"No Idea" Angel said

"Why would you think that?" said Jaay

"Well your walking away and Angel you're the only one that can control minds"

"Hey, I can control minds too" Jaay complained

"So you did do it?"

"No"

"Max isn't it better not getting a headache every two seconds?" said Angel.

"Yes, but its not right to mess with somebody mind like that" I said

"We should get going" Jaay said quickly

"Fine, but I'm not done, that goes for the both of you"

"Fine"

::ATTHEPOOL::

::MAXPOV::

"Ok, everyone. Pool rules. Dump Max in the water first."

Jaay jumped off the table and ran over.

"Fang, come here"

"Yeah?"

"Didn't you hear the pool rules?"

"Oh, ok, Trace! Trix! come here"

"Yeah?"

"Yeah?"

"Pool Rules"

"Ah, ok"

"Awesome"

I bolted for the gate or hedge or any kind of exit. But they were all to fast and caught up to me easily. Fang grabbed one arm, Jaay grabbed the other arm, Trace grabbed one leg and Trix grabbed the other one. I struggled but they were to strong, geez, there faster, stronger what else can they do better than me?

A crowd had formed and they were all shouting 'Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!' I saw my 'loyal' flock at the front had even made up a dance, cant trust anyone these days.

"Ok, 1," Jaay said and they tipped me to the left "2," they tipped me to the right "3," back to the left "GO!" they tipped me to the right really quickly and let go. They're REALLY strong 'cause I landed on the other side of the pool and it's a big pool it was about as big as the lake at Anne's. HUGE!

"Come on guys, lets go home" I said when it turned 3 o'clock in the morning and got a chorus of:

"Aww man" 's

"Can't we sleep here" 's

And "Spoil sport" 's

"No, we cant, now lets go home"

"Fine"

"Fine"

"Wait, is Fang coming with us?" Angel asked.

"Fang?"

"I'm kinda tired, I think I'll stay here"

"That answer your question?"

"Yeah"

::TheNextMorning::

::NUDGEPOV::

"Hi, Max"

"Hey, your up early"

"Yeah, I wanted to get Jaay, Trix and Fang a birthday present and Jaay said she wanted me to add her on MSN and Facebook".

"Oh, ok, cool"

"Hey how come you don't have a MSN or Facebook?"

"I never bothered with them"

"You should make one, Fang's back you've got no reason now"

"Ok"

"Alright, pick an e-mail address like "

"Yeah, use that one" Max said

20 minutes later Max had a Facebook, a MSN and a few friends on each.

"OK, can I go on mine now?"

"Sure, I need to wake Iggy up anyway"

"Wait, Jaay said she might let us come over for breakfast"

"Oh, cool"

I logged on and added Jaay to my friends list. I opened up a chat window with her and laughed at her PM: WICKED CONCERT LAST NIGHT! SUMMERSAULT! 20 at last. '

"Oh, Just the usual" said Jaay from the door way.

"Wow you got here fast" I said following her into Gazzy's room.

"Yeah, I'm a fast flyer"

"Hey what kind of experiment are you?"

"95% human, 2% bird and 3% king cobra"

"King cobra? What did you get from that?"

"Super strength, flexibility and fangs that can kill in three seconds with one bite"

"Cool, how are you gonna wake Gazzy up?"

"Would Max object to hurting him?"

"YES!" Max yelled from the kitchen.

"Well, like this-" she held of her hand palm facing Gazzy and lifted it up, I gasped. When she lifted her hand up Gazzy lifted up as well. She turned him upside down and woke him up, he yelled loud enough for her to cover her ears and drop him onto the floor. "and extra sensitive ears" Jaay said.

"Whats going on?" Iggy yelled coming in to Gazzy's room Angel and Total practically glued to his back.

"Relax Ig, we're just getting everyone up so we can have breakfast at Jaay's house.

"Oh, ok, come guys get dressed"

"Do you mind?" Gazzy asked from his bed

"Oh, sorry. Lets go Nudge" Jaay said.

"Do, you like Trace?" Jaay asked me when we were in the kitchen.

"How do you mean?"

"Romantically?"

"Yeah"

"What way?"

"What?"

"Like 'Can't live without him' or 'He's kinda cute but if a cuter guy came along its over'?"

"Neither but if I had to choose I'm getting towards 'Can't live without him'. why?"

"Because Trace is crazy about you and he's always falling to fast to hard for girls that don't care about him they only care about his fame and I don't wanna see Trace's heart broken again and you're a great person, if he likes you I wanna know he's not making another mistake falling for someone who cant stand him."

"Well I really like Trace and I don't wanna hurt him, you can trust me"

"Good"

"Alright, lets go then 'cause you the only one that knows where your house is" Iggy said coming in with everyone else.

"You cant miss it" Jaay said walking out the door.

We followed her and unfurled our wings, Jaay took one look and said "Am I the only one with completely freak show wings that change color and set on fire and have scales on them?"

"Yes, probably" Max said

"Great, well lets go"

She jumped into the air and unfurled her wings. We all gasped, when the sun shone on her wings they glowed gold, they were amazing.

"Come on," Jaay said and flew off, we all followed her "Hey any of you have super-speed?"

"Yeah, me" Max said "Why?"

"Race ya"

"Where?"

"That house there, its about 50 miles away"

"That's huge"

"Not that big, anyway wanna race?"

"Yeah, sure"

Max poured on the speed and was soon halfway to the house, I thought Max was going to win, but then Jaay's wings set on fire and she shot of towards Max who was near the pool.
