A/N: Me: Hi! Sorry I didn't update sooner… my bleeping computer had a virus all weekend! Arrgh!

Fang: LOL it's your fault! You went on Facebook and it gave you a virus.

Me: … Did you say LOL again?

Fang: … No….

Me: XD Suuure. Fact: The only shows I follow are Desperate Housewives and Hell's Kitchen. I used to follow House, Heroes, and Lost (BEST SHOW EVER!) \

Fang: You're a cool kid.

Me: :P Shut up. Nudge time!

Max POV

I was sitting in my cage, talking to Iggy, since Fang wasn't all that social.

"No, I mean if you cross the red and blue wires, the bomb will go off in three seconds instead of 3 minutes!"

"Uh huh." I said, bored.

"Whatever, Max. Just because you are not a bomb genius like me doesn't mean you can't contribute to this conversation!" he said angrily.

My sarcastic remark was cut off by a white coat slamming the door. We all automatically backed up to our cage wall. She threw a cage down across the narrow row from me. I was shocked to hear a wordless cry come from it. Most experiments weren't ale to do much besides tremble. I looked over and saw a young girl, about three or four. She looked at us out of large, dark brown eyes through frizzy, curly brown hair. Her skin was dark brown, too, which was kind of weird. She grabbed the bars of her cage, and ruffled something. I looked closer and saw that she had light brown tawny wings coming from her back. So she was like us! I waved 'hi'.

She enthusiastically waved back. "Hi! Who are you? How are you? Are you like me? I've only ever knew white coats and they aren't very nice. Can we be friends? Oh and I don't have a name? What are yours?"

In the pause she took to draw her first breath, I jumped in.

"I'm Max, this is Iggy, and that's Fang." I said, gesturing to the boys. "We're like you. See?" I opened my wings and motioned for them to do the same. The little girl clapped with joy.

"But what is my name?" she said, instantly disappointed.

I looked at Fang, then Iggy. "What do you guys think?" Fang shrugged, of course, and Iggy stared at her.

"How about… Browny?" he said. I shook my head.

"That's lame, Iggy." I looked at the girl, thinking hard. "I have no idea!" I cried, disappointed.

"Oh well. We'll think of it in the morning." Fang said, already curled up. Iggy, the girl, and I nodded. I laid down, and fell asleep thinking of names for the new girl.

I woke up to a shuffling noise. I looked around. Fang was already sitting up, Iggy was still snoring. I rolled my eyes. I looked at the new girl. Her cage was right in front of mine! I jumped back. Her cage was still moving, too! I looked into her cage, and I saw why. Her little feet were kicking every five seconds. The force of her mutated legs was moving her cage, nudging into mine. I looked at Fang. He mouthed 'Nudger'. I nodded, smiled and went back to sleep, proud with the new name.

As soon as I woke up, I called to 'Nudger'. She was less than thrilled, though, with her name.

"But… it's kind of a weird word. How about… just Nudge?" she yelled happily. I beamed my approval. I had a new friend!

Nudge POV

My cage thudded against the floor. I sat up slowly, shaking my head. I looked over and saw an older girl, about seven or eight. She looked at me out of pretty chocolate brown eyes under light brown and blonde hair. I grabbed the bars of my cage, and ruffled my wings. She was like me! Then, she waved at me!

I waved back. "Hi! Who are you? How are you? Are you like me? I've only ever knew white coats and they aren't very nice. Can we be friends? Oh and I don't have a name? What are yours?"

In the pause I took to draw my first breath, the girl jumped in.

"I'm Max, this is Iggy, and that's Fang." she said, gesturing to the boys on either side of her. "We're like you. See?" She opened her wings and the boys did the same. I clapped with joy.

"But what is my name?" I said, disappointed.

She looked at Fang, then Iggy. "What do you guys think?" Fang shrugged, he didn't talk much it seemed, and Iggy stared at me.

"How about… Browny?" he said. Max shook her head.

"That's lame, Iggy." She looked at me, and seemed to be thinking hard. "I have no idea!" she cried.

"Oh well. We'll think of it in the morning." Fang said, already curled up. Iggy, Max, and I nodded. I laid down, and fell asleep thinking of names for me.

I had a bad dream. I was reliving the worst day of my terrible life.

Flashback

I cried harder when my head knocked against the tile wall. "Answer me!" the man yelled, throwing a marker at me.

"I don't know!" I shouted, cringing as he threw another marker at me. I was in another intelligence test. I had to solve a really hard riddle, but I had no idea what the answer was. I ran tot the door, but the white coat blocked me. "If you don't talk, I'll smash your idiot head in!" he hissed. I screamed and ran to the opposite corner. He came after me, waving a needle. I screamed again, and thrashed, kicking his chin. But he just came right back up. "I swear, you little monster, if you don't talk I'll ill you with a single shot!" he growled, thrusting the needle closer to me. I started to babble, and never stopped. Tahat way, the scientist would never hurt her.

As soon as I woke up, Max called me 'Nudger'. I wasn't thrilled, though, with the name.

"But… it's kind of a weird word. How about… just Nudge?" I yelled happily. Max beamed her approval. I had a new friend!

A/N: Me: Poor Nudge. Talking to keep the devil away :(

Fang: That kicking thing was really annoying, though.

Me: I think it's cute! Fact: As I am writing this, I am catching up on Desperate Housewives. I am on episode two out of four I had to catch up on. Oops.

Fang: You sound like a housewife.

Me: Shaddup! See ya next chapter! REVIEW!
