HEY GUYS!!! Hope you like it!

Nudge's POV

"Max what's wrong?!" said Fang, and a small group of people had gathered around Max. I put my hand out over my mouth and I felt tears form in the back of my eyes.

Fang shook her shoulders, but when that didn't work he started to look truly worried.

"MAX! WAKE UP!" Fang screamed as loud as he could in her ear.

"Sir, don't you think she should go to the hospital?" said some EMS guy, and Fang shook his head.

"No, this happens sometime. I think we should just take her home, let her wake up on her own. Thanks for your concern though." Fang said, sounding amazingly calm for a situation like this.

He slung Max over his shoulder and gestured to me.

"Come on, Nudge." he said, and I followed.

Once we were far enough away from the crowd of people, he set her down in an alley.

"Nudge, stay here with Max. I'm gonna go get some food." he said, and I nodded.

Fang's POV

I left them in the alley and started walking towards the Burger King we were headed to earlier.

'I need to ask her what it was about when she wakes up.' I thought to myself, and I made a mental note.

"Hi, can I get 3 number 8's, 6 large fries, 4 large chocolate milkshakes, and 5 triple whoppers?" I asked, and the guy at the counter looked genuinely surprised.

"You got the money?" he asked, and I held up my credit card. He nodded and punched in the order.

About five minutes later, I was rounding the corner into the alley, and I saw Max sitting up and talking to Nudge. My spirits lifted higher than ever at that time.

"Glad your awake sleepy-head!" I said, and she smiled. My heart fluttered and I set the food down.

Max's POV

After our extensive and well-filling meal, Nudge said she was going to sleep, and she folded her arms and legs inside her huge jacket. As soon as her breathing evened out, I gestured to the top of the building, and Fang nodded.

I jumped up and unfolded my wings. The brisk night air sent chills down my spine, and seeing Fang flying right beside me for the first time in 13 years made them even better.

I sat down on the edge beside Fang and looked up at the stars.

"Hey, what was that thing about?" he asked, and I shrugged.

"I don't know. All I remember is fire and dead people everywhere. And the old flock was running from some weird looking things. They were like Erasers, but they were way faster, and they had our duplicates with them.." I said, and his mouth dropped.

"Wait, you mean like "Max II"?" he asked, and I nodded.

"Wow. Well, if that happens, I'll protect you." he said and he puffed out his chest. I rolled my eyes and playfully shoved him.

"Whatever! I'll be the one protecting you!" I said, and he shrugged.

"You sure?" he said, then he kissed me. It was different this time though. It felt like...like it was supposed to happen this way.

"Wow. That felt good." I said when we broke apart and he nodded.

???'s POV

"Is that the girl?" I asked the commander, and he nodded.

"That's the one they call "Max"."

R&R!!!!!!!!!!!!
