Hey! I'm so sorry I haven't updated since like months ago. I am here to tell you that I am back on fanfiction :)
Sorry if this chapter is short. I just had an urge to write and I missed writing about the Maximum Ride series.
So here is the next chapter :)

The sun shinned on my face quickly. I moaned and squinted my eyes.

"Wake up!" Max said. "We have a long day ahead of us".

"Ugh…I don't want to." I said burring my face in my pillow. I heard Max leave. Then I felt myself being pulled out of my warm cocoon of blankets and carried by someone warm and strong into the living room.

"You're waking up one way or another." I heard Iggy laugh. My eyes snapped open. I looked up and saw Iggy.

"H-Hi…" I said nervously.

"Hi." He smiled. I was so caught up in our tiny conversation that I didn't realize everyone looking at us.

Nudge cleared her throat, "Now if you two are done we should get going." Nudge said smiling shaking her head. Iggy set me down.

"I need to get dressed!" I said running back into my room. I shut the door and got dressed quickly. I brushed my wavy hair. I walked out into the living room. Nudge was putting her hair in the ponytail, Angel was sitting on the couch watching TV, Max was taking inventory on the backpacks, and Gazzy and Iggy were loading up some bombs just in case.

"Ali, there's some breakfast on the table for you." Max said gesturing to the table.

"No thanks. I'm not that hungry." I said. I wasn't, I just wanted to create a plan. As far as I know Iggy and I won't be able to be together like this. Angel will always know my next move. It was like game we were playing and she was winning...so far.

"You should eat something. We are going to be flying for a long time. Flying burns our energy quickly." Max said.

"Alright." I shrugged quietly. I walked over to the table. I nibbled on some toast and drank some coffee.

"So Max," Angel started to say, "I called Dylan and told him he should come with us to New York."

Just like that Max's expression went from happy to angry. My expression went hard as well. I looked at Iggy who looked at Angel. It seemed as if the three of us knew Angels plan. I wasn't going to let her win the game but I may as well play along.

"Why would you do that?" Max said. "I mean sure its fine if he hangs around with us sometimes but I don't want him to interfere with finding Fang."

"His flying isn't too good either." Iggy mumbled.

"You're letting Ali come with us. She could interfere with you and Fang." Angel said crossing her arms. Max looked at me.

"She's right." I said.

"I thought you said you didn't like Fang more than a friend." Max said walking over to me.

"I don't. I mean she's right in having Dylan come along." I said. Angel looked at me. I kept my mind blank. I knew she was trying to see what plan I had under my sleeve. Iggy looked over at me.

"Why would you want Dylan to come with us?" Max asked quietly. I looked from Max to Iggy to Angel and than back to Max.

"Dylan still likes you and wants you to be with him right?" I asked. Iggy is so going to hate me for this.

"Yeah, but its never going to happen…" Max said. "Which is why I don't want him coming with us."

"Well I could get him off your back. If you know what I mean." I said.

"Um…" Max said.

"Your saying you would manipulate his emotions aren't you?" Iggy said. Manipulate was such bad word choice! It made me sound evil.

"Yeah, that way he'd like me and you're free to be with Fang." I said. Max looked at me puzzled. She looked at Iggy then to all of the flock.

"And you?" She asked looking slightly at Iggy.

"I would go back to Dr. Gunther-Hagen and tell him that it didn't work and now Dylan likes me. He would take me back to the lab and probably make another perfect half for you. That would take about 2 years. It would buy you guys time to runaway to some far away place where he won't find you." I said keeping my stare on Max. If anything I could lie easily and get away with it.

"So you'd just leave us?" Gazzy asked.

"It would be to help the flock."

"But that's exactly it. You are part of the flock. Our flock. You can't just leave." Nudge said sadly. It's amazing how they already accepted me. I looked at Iggy who was leaning up against the wall listening to our conversation. His feelings were of hurt.

"Dylan can come but we'll discuss the rest of the plan later." Max said as she went back to her spot. She picked up one of the backpacks and put it around her shoulder.

"OK everyone take one." Max said. Everyone took a backpack. I slipped on my backpack and looked at Max.

"When is Dylan coming?" Max asked.

"Dylan's already here." Dylan said walking into the house.

"Well no one asked you in." Max crossed her arms.

"Can we just go?" I asked not ready to hear Max and Dylan have their daily fight.

We walked out the door and onto the porch. Iggy was on the right of me and Max was on the left.

"Alright everyone, we are going to have a few breaks in the middle. Just keep pace with the wind." Max said with a small smile. We all jumped off and flew into the air. I looked back over at Iggy who was flying on the other side of Max. He was angry and it looks like I won't have a chance to talk to him until we reach New York.

I hoped you enjoyed :)
The next chapter will be up probably by tomorrow or Wednesday because I missed writing so much.
I will also try to update all my other stories to :)
So please review!
