Here it is! Chapter four. I promised it would be long, and it will be. So read, read, read!!
Fangs POV
Max was always so freaking tuff. So, I was really surprised that when she announced to me that we were about to be attacked by Machine Geeks, how scared she actually looked. Not that anyone besides me noticed. Max never got scared, like help-me-mommy scared, and if she did, she never showed it. Rather, she got oh-my-gosh-what-will-they-do-this-time scared.
I knew Max so well, I felt like we were just one person. In fact, I think that I knew some things about Max that she didn't even know herself. For example, I knew that she loved me, but I don't think she knew she did. If you know what I mean.
As the MG's attacked us, I had a hard time concentrating on the fight. Instead, my mind kept wandering back to Max. Damn it, she was frustrating! I took out my anger on the robot thing I was battling, and he/it fell to the ground with a crack.
I turned and saw Max rushing towards Angel, who was pinned to the ground. A Machine Geek kicked her in the head with a huge boot, and she blacked out. Max screamed her name and ran over, but a MG grabbed her and pinned her to the ground.
"Igsnog! Randalf!" she yelled. What the hell was she thinking? She thought that we would leave her to fight off the Machine Geeks alone? Idiot! No one could handle these things alone.
But the other kids didn't seem to think about that. Nudge and Iggy grabbed the unconscious Angel, and jumped into the air, the Gasman following right behind. Not me. I stayed put.
"Go! I can handle this!" Max yelled. She was even more of a moron that I thought.
"Never.", I replied. Well, actually, I screamed.
I punched, and a MG crumpled. Too late, I realized my mistake. Seeing that I might be able to save Max, the rest of the robot/humans surrounded us. One pulled out a horrible looking knife, and unbelievably, Max screamed. You heard me, Max screamed. So I knew we were seriously up the creek.
I saw Max bite her lip, regretting the sound that had just escaped her lips, and I tried to shoot her a comforting glance, but it was lost, because at that moment, the Machine Geek slowly ran the knife down the length of her arm. That bastard! Did he just do what I think he just did? Yes, he did.
I was desperate. I had no idea how I could get Max away, so I flapped wildly over head, trying to distract them. But Max had a better plan.
She quickly explained (in our secret language of course) what we would do.

Fang's POV
Max's plan worked great, except I CAN'T SEE IF SHE'S DEAD OR ALIVE!!! I can't take it any more. I dive Max among the dead Machine Geek bodies. I try to warn her of my approach, but she's "dead" so she can't hear me. At least I just hope she's playing dead.
I bend down to scoop her up, and she jolts awake. So she is alive after all! But wait-she jut took in a deep breath full of air. What did she think? I was about to attack her?
Then I realize what this would be like if I was Max. Oh. She must of thought I was a MG ready to kill her. My bad. I also realize that she probably thinks I'm insane right now. She had this situaltion completely under control, and I have to come and ruin everything.

Fang's POV
I'm trying desperately to save Max's life. Only this time, she really needs saving. She has all sorts of poison air in her lungs, and that's all that surrounds us. So my only hope is to transfer the clean air from MY lungs into HERS. I'm such an idiot for doing this to us.
As I desperately perform CPR on Max. She starts to come to. She open her eyes very wide, giving her a deer-in-the-headlights expression, but I get the point. She's saying she's fine now. I scoop her up in my arms once again, and fly.
Suddenly, a very, VERY evil plan occurs to me. I feel horrible for even thinking of this, but hey, a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do.
When Max calls my name, I pretend not to hear. This goes on for a while, and Max does everything she can to get me out of my "trance", even faking a brain attack. But still I do not respond.
I can see Max is getting very worried, and she pulls me down, forcing me to land. I fall on top of her, and it's all I can do to keep from getting up. Max tries again to get me to respond, but I do nothing. She looks really worried, and I can't help but feel bad. I wonder what she thinks happened to me.
It's okay Fang,I tell myself. The more worried she gets, the better your plan will work.
Max falls for the plan sooner than I would have thought. After about 5 minutes of trying to wake me or so. She leans down next to me.
It's working! After all this time of waiting, you'll find out if she's ready to like you.
Then, something extraordinary happens. She leans down and kisses me. Right on the lips. And then, she starts crying.
That was it. I was done playing my games.
"I love you too, Max."
Mistake number one.
