A/N: It's an update to the Musical! YAY!

For those of you who read my rendition of "Hot N' Cold" from a while ago, I'm really sorry that I haven't updated in over a month. My computer crashed a few weeks ago and I was unable to do anything.

But anyway, thank you to everyone who read, and those who reviewed/suggested songs! You guys have no idea about how much this means to me.

This song thingy takes place a couple of years after the Doomsday Group is defeated and etc.

Song Used: "Better than Revenge" by Taylor Swift

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Maximum Ride, and I most certainly don't claim any rights to "Better than Revenge" or any songs previously used. Those go to the singer or whatever recording company or etc.

ONTO LE CHAPTER!


Dylan POV:

Sometimes Max scares me. I'm supposed to be her perfect other half but that bloodthirsty look she wears when someone pisses her off …It's enough to send a chill down a champion sumo-wrestler's spine.

That expression was frozen on Max's face as she glared at Fang and Maya. The two of them were entangled on a love seat in our living room. You honestly couldn't tell where one began and the other ended. They had started going out at the end of summer last year, right before Max and I got together. Max claimed that she and Fang were "just friends" and that she had no feelings for him but the look on her face was downright murderous.

"Time for a little revenge," Max hissed suddenly. Angry guitar music began playing along with a pounding drumbeat. The cozy couple jumped a few feet in the air, suddenly jostled out of their reverie. Fang took one look at Max and paled. He knew what that face meant; heads were about to roll.

"The story starts when it was hot and it was summer's end," Max sang, much to my surprise and everyone else's. "I had it all, I had him right there where I wanted and," She paused for a breath and continued with her tirade.

"She came along, got him alone, and let's hear the applause," She took a step towards Maya, who was now out of Fang's arms and crouched in a defensive position, watching Max warily. "She took him faster than you could say sabotage." A hurt look flitted across Max's face, but disappeared in the same instant.

"I never saw it coming, wouldn't have suspected it," she sang, "I underestimated just who I was dealing with." Fang stepped in front of Max, shielding Maya.

Max took one look at him and punched him… you know where. He crumpled to the ground in a heap. Fang looked so pathetic, that even I felt sorry for him. But only for a moment.

"She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum," Max continued towards Maya, who was just standing there. "She underestimated just who she was stealing from."

She whirled around suddenly to face Fang, who was still on the ground, and pointed accusingly at Maya.

"Cause she's not a saint and she's not what you think." Max launched into the chorus, "She's an actress, woaah." Her gaze flickered back to Maya.

"She's better known for the things that she does on the mattress, woaah," Max turned back completely to Fang and began advancing on Maya.

"Soon she's gonna find stealing other people's toys on the playground won't make you many friends," Max was practically breathing down Maya's neck. "She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind, there is nothing I do better than revenge."

Max paused, and gave a short, bitter laugh.

"Ha!"

Max took a couple of steps away from Maya, as if to appraise the damage done. Maya looked like the wind had been knocked out of her. I knew what she felt like; Max had that effect on a lot of people. Maya's expression changed in the next few seconds, though, from scared to furious. She whirled around to face Max and…

"She looks at life like it's a party and she's on the list," Maya sang. She kept her venomous glare focused on Max. If I didn't know better, I would say that Max looked a little intimidated. On the other hand, I actually do know better.

"She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it." Maya flipped her hair to emphasize her point.

"I think her ever-present frown is a little troubling. And," Maya paused and frowned comically, as if she were thinking. "She thinks I'm psycho cause I like to rhyme her name with things."

She began circling around Max like a predator stalking its prey. "But sophistication isn't what you wear and who you know," Maya continued. "Or pushing people down to get to where you want to go." She stopped circling and faced Max, a vicious sneer on her face.

"They didn't teach you that in prep school, so it's up to me," Maya pointed at Max. "But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity." Maya stopped, and closed her eyes for a couple of seconds. When she opened them, they were filled with malice.

I shivered. Internally though, because guys don't shiver.

"She's not a saint, and she's not what you think she's an actress, woooah," Maya sang. "She's better known for the things that she does on the mattress, woah." She jabbed a finger at Max, who stumbled backwards, looking more shocked than offended.

"Soon she's gonna find stealing other people's toys on the playground won't make you many friends," Maya sang, taking obvious delight in pushing this verse back into Max's face. "She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind, there is nothing I do better than revenge."

On the other side of the room, Max was standing and watching Maya. If Max had been scary before, she was flat-out terrifying now.

"I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey," Max was practically shaking with fury as she sang. "You might have him but haven't you heard?" She took a shallow breath and went on.

"I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey," she sang, "You might have him but I always get the last word. Wooaah." She stretched out the last note and threw her head back.

Maya was ready for her. "She's not a saint and she's not what you think, she's an actress. Wooah." she sang. "She's better known for the things that she does on the mattress." Max and Maya were walking in a circle at this point, both watching each other warily.

"Soon she's gonna find stealing other peoples toys on the playground won't make you many friends," Max shot back. "She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind, there is nothing I do better than revenge."

Maya began clapping. "Let's hear the applause," she sang, "C'mon show me how much better you are."

Max froze and stared at her, her eyes wide. Clearly she hadn't been expecting that.

May continued. "See you deserve some applause cause you're so much better." She paused here, searching Max's face for some kind of reaction.

"She took him faster than you could say sabotage," Max sang quietly and slowly.

For a few moments, the house was completely silent. The background music from nowhere wasn't playing. Nobody was talking or singing (thank God).

The two girls had their eyes locked on each other, neither making a move.

Suddenly, Max made an unearthly… noise (there is honestly no other way to describe it) and launched herself at Maya. Her fist landed on Maya's face.

Maya let out a shrill screech and retaliated by swinging her foot towards Max's kneecap. Soon, the two girls were in an all-out brawl.

I just watched. I knew that if I got involved, I would end up on the floor, writhing in complete pain. So I watched, and waited for the right moment to get the hell out of there.

Within five minutes, I was in the kitchen, thanking whatever deity was out there for helping me escape unscathed.

One thing kept running through my mind though…

I didn't know that Max listened to Taylor Swift.


A/N: Ta-da! *Waves plastic wand* And there is your update!

Song suggestions/reviews are loved!

For songs, I'd like to remind you people that I prefer songs with music videos (so that I don't have to go through Youtube for hours looking for the original version of the song). Please suggest songs that can be easily applied to Maximum Ride. Also, see my profile for my list of songs/artists.

I want to do an Angel-based bit soonish. Does anyone know any songs about dominating the world?

Don't forget to R&R please!
