Fang's POV
When I kissed her, there was an electric spark that passed through me. She kissed me hard, trying to tell me she loved me. I returned that and she smiled when we broke apart. We sat down, Indian style, facing each other. She smiled at me, and I nearly lost the control to not kiss her again.
I pulled her into my lap and hugged her, resting my chin on her head. She seemed totally at ease there, not wanting to move. Eventually she fell asleep, and I let her. That was when she was most relaxed. I just held her, listening to her breathing, watching how the star's light shown on her face, her skin glowing. I began to trace shapes on her face, hoping she would wake up soon. The sun was beginning to rise and we had to get back.
I had an idea, but I would only use it as a last resort. I leaned in and breathed into her ear. "Max, we need to go."
She mumbled something and I shook her a little. She wasn't waking up, so I did the thing that I promise would be a last resort: I kissed her.
She woke up almost instantly. When I pulled away, she smiled as she climbed out of my lap. She stood up and stretched, letting her wings out. We both jumped up and flew back to the Cullens, hand in hand.
Angel's POV
I woke up early, so I went to see if Max was awake. I went to her bedroom but she wasn't there, I went into the boy's room to see if Gazzy was up, but Fang was gone. I ran down the stairs, looking for them, but instead I found Edward. He was sitting there on the couch, turning and smiling at me when he saw me.
"Do you know where Max and Fang are?" I asked.
"They went to finally admit they loved each other," he said, smiling at me again.
I nearly dropped my burritos. "REALLY?"
"Yes."
I ran up the stairs fast, running into the bedroom I was sharing with Nudge and I quickly changed into some new clothes that Alice had gotten me. I shook Nudge awake and told her, she jumping up and changing quickly. I ran into the boy's bedroom and shouted, "MAX AND FANG ARE TOGETHER!" at the top of my lungs. Iggy and Gazzy flew out of the bed, scared out of their wits by my outburst, but then comprehended what I said and jumped for joy.
We were all changed and downstairs getting breakfast when we heard them come in. We all let them go upstairs and get ready before we would congratulate them or something.
Today was the best day ever!
Max's POV
Last night was the best night of my life. Wow, there is no way to describe it. It was amazing and fabulous and Fang and….oh! Positively wonderful bliss!
When we got back, everyone was awake, but they didn't come out to greet us. Maybe they will do that once we're ready to tell them, but they may already know. I went into the bedroom, closing the door softly behind me. I quickly changed, throwing on a shirt that Alice had gotten me and a pair of jeans. I threw my hair up into a half-pony. I brushed my teeth fast and washed my face.
When I went out and there was Fang, waiting for me. He smiled when he saw me pulling me towards him and giving me a quick kiss. "You look absolutely beautiful today," he whispered in my ear, making me shiver. He grabbed my hand and helped me down the stairs and to the kitchen.
We opened the door and instantly the flock was at us, congratulating us and giving us hugs. Everyone was so happy, it almost seemed unreal. Alice walked in, Jasper at her side and she said, "OK! We are all going shopping today!"
Of course the girls jumped for joy, the guys stood there looking uncomfortable, me a mixture of the two. I loved shopping, but too many people. Last time, I nearly had a panic attack. Sure, Angel and Nudge had vanished for only a minute, but when you're on the run from crazy genetic scientist, then you would freak out, too.
We had to take 2 cars, Alice's and Edward's. We were going to pick up Bella on the way from her father's house. We got there and Bella squeezed in the front with Edward. We began to go on the drive to Seattle.
We made it there in under an hour. We all got out and Alice rushed us in. We separated into groups, girls (Me, Angel, Nudge, Alice and Bella) and guys (Fang, Gazzy, Iggy, Jasper, and Edward).
The girls and I went to clothes first, then supplies. I found some cute tops and an extra pair of pants. Alice made me buy a dress for the wedding (I was thinking we were leaving soon, not in 3 weeks). It was a light blue, and was long, showing off my shoulders some. Once we got that, she took us to get some food for us to make dinner and other meals.
We had tons of fun, and when we got home, Esme wanted us to show off what we got. I showed her my tops and my jeans, but she wanted to see me in my dress. I reluctantly went upstairs and changed into the dress. I walked down the stairs and Esme was at the bottom. She took both my hands and looked at my dress, telling me she loved it.
Just then, Fang walked out of the kitchen, and when he saw me in the dress, his eyes almost popped out of his head.
Esme was suddenly gone, leaving me alone with Fang. I turned to him, blushing furiously and smiling a small smile. I asked him, "You like it?"
He just stood there, looking at me, then he came up to me and took my face in his hands, kissing me. When he pulled away, he said, "Yes. You are absolutely gorgeous."
I smiled and he let me go up and change. I came down and we all at a fabulous lunch, that is, until the Flyboys came.
Fang's POV
I was still thinking about how Max looked in the dress. She looked like a real angel, a goddess. She was absolutely perfect. I was tempted to take her away somewhere, where we could be alone and just be together for a while, but the flock would think we were doing something else.
I went into the kitchen and lunch was being served. We all were eating and then BOOM! Glass went flying. I jumped up and began running at the Flyboys automatically. The Cullens helped us. We got nearly every single one, but a few got away.
When we were done, we all got to work, picking up glass and Flyboys robot parts. Once we got that all cleaned up, the flock and I went upstairs into Max's room. We sat on her huge bed, silent until Max said, "They could've gotten hurt."
"Yea, but Edward said it was OK, because there is only one way to kill a vampire. He promised they would've been OK."
"Yea, but what about Bella? She was there, sitting at the table, too. She could've gotten killed."
We sat there, thinking about that until a plan suddenly formed in my head.
Max's POV
Fang looked up suddenly and said, "Maybe we can stay here, but we try to stay under the radar."
"Okay, but it's not like we were outside calling the Flyboys," I said.
"Yes, but we were in public today. A mall with cameras every 5 feet. They could've seen us there and us leaving and what vehicles we were in. They could've followed us here."
It made sense.
"Okay, then. No going into public, but how do we make it look like we left?"
"We could pretend, then later fly back while the Flyboys aren't paying attention," Angel said.
"Okay, we'll give it a shot."
We went downstairs and told everyone the plan. They liked it, but they said they were moving soon, and they wanted us to come with them. We said we would think about it. Later that night, we ate dinner, watched a movie, and then went to bed.
Fang's POV
Wow. We might get to have a real family, other than Max's mom and sister. Iggy might be said about that, but we'll visit.
"They can live us, too, but we'll have to tell them," said Edward. He must've read my mind.
Max looked up and said, "My mom and Ella can live with us, too?"
Edward nodded.
Max went and called her mom, telling her everything. They were able to get tickets for themselves and said that they'll be in there in 2 weeks. Max seemed so happy about it, but something was bothering her. I could feel it.
After breakfast, I took Max's hands and we went upstairs into her bedroom. I closed the door and we sat on her bed. "What's wrong, Max?"
She bit her lip and said, "We have to get to Hawaii."
I suddenly remembered why we even got here, but the moment the mission came back, I felt angry. Not at Max, or the Cullens and the flock, but at the Whitecoats and Jeb. Why can't they just leave us alone? Why won't they let us have a normal life?
"We can forget the mission," I said, tracing shapes onto Max's hand, "and live a normal life, with the flock, the Cullens and your mom and sister."
She looked into my eyes and said, "You have no idea how bad I want that. But I need to help."
"No, Max, you don't. It's their fault, and like you said back in Itex headquarters, fighting Max2, they planned it wrong. It's their fault."
We sat in silence for a minute, and then Max took a deep breath and said, "Maybe we can still help, without having to go places 24/7. Of course, we'll go places every once in a while, but not as much as now."
"How are we going to do that?" I asked, looking up at Max, smiling.
"With your blog, like when we defeated all the other schools and Itex departments."
It was a good plan. To get kids to clean their environments and try to help us make the world a better place. I smiled at her, and said, "Perfect."
But then I remembered that the Flyboys had destroyed the computer when they attacked us in the meadow. Crap.
"But the computer's trashed."
"We can find other ways to do it."
Wow. We are actually going to live a somewhat normal life. Amazing.
