Max POV

"FANG! DO I GOTS TO GO SHOPPING?!" I yell. "Well do you want to go around in you pajamas all day." I didn't say anything to that. He smirked in satisfaction. We were walking to the store when we passed a nearby park. I don't know what came over me but I squealed and ran to the park.

I jumped into the sand box and started making a sandcastle. Then a boy with sandy colored hair and a girl with long reddish brown hair came up to me. "Hi" the boy said "my name is Joey and that's my sissy Serenity." I smiled and said " my names Max" Serenity spoke up and asked, "Can we play wit you." I smiled and said "sure"

Joey, Serenity, and I were playing and right when I was about to put the flag on it Joey tackled me and we rolled on the ground until I pinned him by his shoulders. He pouted and said "how did I get beated by a girl?" "I'm just better den you" I replied happily. Serenity ran up to me and gave me a high five "girls wule!" we said.

"If you could have any power in da worl what would it be" I asked them after I got Joey off the ground. "Well I would like to fly wit wings like a hawk" Joey said. "Me two ecept I want white wings, like an angel!" Serenity explains. All I did was smile and say "do ya really tink dere are people wit wings out dere?" Joey nods and says "I'm sure dere are but dey are probly scared dat people will hurt dem so dey hide." If only he knew how right he was. "I'll help dose people or my name aint Joseph Adam Lerner (It's the name of the future mutant school in the 4th book)

"Hey wets get some ice cweam" I said. I handed the person 8 dollars and we got our favorite ice cream. Serenity said "do you wive awound here?" I said "no but we twavle evwey where." Joey whispered something in her ear and she nodded. "Wait here pwease" he said. When they got back they were each holding something.

"If you gonna leave den take dese to member us by" Serenity said holding out her stuffed dog. "Yea we gotta go so here,an neva forget us!" Joey said handing me a card that said flaming swordsman. "Bye!" I said waving then I remembered I had to go shopping.

"MAX GET OVER HERE NOW!" I turned to see a very angry Fang coming my way. I gulped and slowly walked to him putting the card in my pocket and clutching the dog for dear life. "WHY DID YOU RUN OFF AND WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE?!" He said.

I said with fake tears in my eyes "My new fwends gave dem to me pwease no be mad." I gave him bambi eyes and stuck out my bottom lip tugging his pants. It must have worked because all he did was sigh and pick me and say "well don't do it again."

Fang POV

I carried her into the mall. Not A Good Idea. People were coming up to Max pinching her cheek saying how cute she was. I could tell she hated all the attention. If I had a dollar for every person that had come up to see Max I'd be a billionaire. We found a store and bought bright clothes, tennis shoes, shorts , shirts with sayings like "bite me" and surprisingly a hoodie.

She was trying on a yellow shirt and said "I look like a cute ananer" A smile tug at my lips as she put her new clothes on. "Dats a lots better!" she said. The cashier looked at her and smiled. "Well aren't you a cutie" she said. She asked "you love this young girl don't you?" I had a shocked look on my then I hurriedly said "of course she is my step sister after all." The old woman smiled and said "take good care of her."

Max took her hand in mine and skipped to the food court. I thought to myself 'is that really how I feel about her?' She suddenly stopped in her tracks and stared in horror. Ari was there looking for us.
