This is Maximum Ride's Milkshake Experience and I am proud of it! :)

Max Rides' Turn!!

Even knowing that Fang had scanned the area five times, I was still wary as we entered the diner. Don't ask me how we ended up in here. Well, if you must know it involved Angel and the Bambi eyes, but that's all I'm saying.

"Max! They have Toffee and Pineapple and Raspberry and White Chocolate…" Nudge was off already and we hadn't even been seated yet.

Of course, I was still tight as a bowstring, so it took a lot of effort not to scream at her that we were running away from Erasers and currently in Maggie's Milkshake Emporium and it was only me that seemed to see something wrong with this situation!

"Yes, there are lots of flavours." Fang cut in, as the waitress took us to our table.

I kept my mouth shut as Nudge reeled of the entire three page long list of milkshake flavours, I was trying to convince myself the waitress was not a seriously lightweight Eraser that must have been dieting for months.

Iggy was carefully listening to Nudge's spiel whilst Gazzy and Angel were deciding if they should try the cookie one or to go for something safer, the hazelnut cream.

"So, what will we all be having?" The underweight Eraser- I mean waitress had come back and was grinning manically.

"The raspberry ripple one, please!" Nudge had one of the hugest grins on her face ever, and I've seen some big Nudge grins.

"Ohhh! Cookie, Cookie, I want Cookie!" Gazzy was jumping up and down in his seat, if he'd gone any higher he'd have needed his wings to get back down safely.

"I'll have the strawberry and cream one, please!" Angel quipped, with smile to rival Nudge's.

"The explosive candy one for me, thanks!" Typical Iggy, Milkshake might not explode, but he could get the one that tasted like it did.

"Blueberry, thanks." Fang nodded to me.

Oh, I hadn't even looked at the menu yet, "err… Strawberry?"

"Which one?" The malnourished Era- waitress pointed to the strawberry section of the menu. There were over twenty different varieties.

"Strawberry and dark chocolate?" I said the first one that I could read, even though I remembered that I really wasn't that keen on dark chocolate anyway… oh well.

"Alright, that'll be out for you in five minutes." Said the half-starved E- waitress, she was not an Eraser, she was a waitress!

"Yay! I love Milkshake, thanks for bringing us here Max!" Gazzy was still bouncing.

"No probs, Gazzy." I muttered, well except that I was convinced all the other customers must all be Erasers and that included a little girl no taller than Angel's hip.

I turned to Angel; she was concentrating on something, "Uh, what you doing sweetie?"

She ignored me for a minute and then brightened, "The waitress is bringing us 2 milkshakes each for free!" She grinned and I hadn't the heart to tell her that wasn't a good thing to do.

The next few minutes passed without incident, even though I was secretly on edge waiting for Jeb and Ari and all our other wolfie friends to appear.

Finally, the Milkshake's appeared and, as Angel had arranged, there were two of each and a rather confused looking Era- waitress, "Umm… Don't worry it's all on the house…" She muttered.

I was kinda glad about that, but in truth I hadn't been planning on paying anyway, I mean how are six bird kids meant to find money when on the run, huh? The second you figure it out you gotta let me know, so I can go all-respectable again.

My milkshake, no matter how much I dislike dark chocolate, was actually quite nice. And it was none of that powdery rubbish, it was really creamy!

The rest of the flock were happily drinking their shakes and I was sure the sugar rush they'd get soon would not be good for the stress levels, I mean, sure it was good to see all the people I loved happy for a while, but I was still convinced that Erasers were going to turn up and ruin it all, like usual.

"Not bad." Muttered Fang, and coming from him, this was high praise indeed.

Gazzy, Iggy and Angel were already half way through their second shake and the sugar rush was starting to hit their rather sensitive systems, this was not good.

"It's one of the best things I've ever drunk," smiled Angel, "But the waitress is starting to morph in the back." She sighed and stood up.

"Ahh! I haven't finished yet!" Nudge protested, before grabbing her nearly full glass and standing too.

I sighed the sugar of the shake making me feel jittery inside. It wasn't the Eraser in the back or the ones that were definitely in front of us that were making me feel weird, just the sugar. Definitely not the fact that the tiny little girl was also morphing. Definitely the sugar, I told myself. Angel grabbed my hand and I was thankful for it.

"Side door?" murmured Fang, sliding closer to me as the entire flock silently started to edge away from the Erasers.

"No, roof, it's glass." I replied, the stupid Erasers were already covering the side door, "On the count of three." I whispered to the flock, which understood instantly that I meant count of one.

"One!" I yelled and we shot up, bursting through the glass and showering the Erasers below with glass shards.

"Nooo!" I heard Nudge shout, I looked around, heart in my mouth. Was she hurt? Had the Erasers got her?

" I dropped it!" She yelled. Looking down, I saw that the waitress- no, the underfed Eraser was covered in bright red Raspberry Ripple Milkshake.

A/N Don't worry more chapter's to come! I'm thinking Lyra and Will from His Dark Materials...

Please please please review! This is my first ever fan fic, so I need the support! Also, if this is really rubbish with a capital C then I want to know too!
