Chapter 7-Lakeside Creek
Fang POV
I opened the door to Max's house with Iggy. I heard shouts (and screams) coming from upstairs. Finally, after what seemed like forever, Max, Nudge, and Angel came downstairs. I held in a gasp.
Holy. CRAP. Max looks amazing. She has this happy GLOW to her that's practically blinding me. God, I hate Sam.
"Nice job Nudge! She actually looks like a hot girl now!" Iggy wolf-whistled. I elbowed him.
"Sexist pig," Max retorted. "This one's for you and me, living out our dreams…" rang her cell phone.
"Change that stupid ringtone." I grumbled. Max stuck her tongue out at me and answered the phone. (A/N: No offense to who likes this song. I love it too, but remember Fang's a little ticked at the moment.)
"Hi Sam!" she said excitedly.
"Hi Max! I'm a crazy idiot who is stupid to think that I can ever date the awesome Maximum Ride. I'll jump off a cliff now!" responded Sam. Well, not really. Probably along those lines though. I can't hear what he said since it's not speaker phone.
Max's smiling expression suddenly turned miserable. "What? Are you serious? Um, I mean, it's fine. Honestly, it's fine Sam." She paused for a second. "Who's giggling?" Sam said something ineligible. "Oh. Well, I'll see you tomorrow." She hung up.
"His family is having a special dinner. He can't go to the date. But he said he'll be happy to take me to see Footloose another time." She said expressionlessly. "I know it was too good to be true anyways." My heart gave a leap of happiness. Yay! The wiener isn't coming! Nudge walked to her and hugged her carefully because of the makeup and stuff.
"Oh well Max," Nudge comforted her. "Let's just go to MJR anyways! It'll make you forget all about stupid Sam. Plus Fang told me you loved horror movies! Dream House sounds really good. AND I worked on you way too hard for you NOT to go! Fang's mom can drive us." Max managed a small smile.
"Thanks guys. C'mon, let's go then." Max said.
"WAIT!" Nudge screamed. She viciously grabbed me by the arm. "Fang can be your date! You're wayyy too pretty NOT to have a date!"Nudge glared at me murderously. "Right, Fang? You would love to take your dear friend Max to the movies, right?"
Max just shrugged. "We'll just go as friends. Besides, that's like going on a date with my nonexistent gay brother."
I winced. "You just had to add that last part, dontcha?" Max grinned at me. Nudge, Iggy, Max and I started walking over to my house so I can get my mom to get us to the movies.
...(a/n: the movie theater they're going to is part of an outdoor mall like the ones they have near my house)
"So Max, how was California? Did you have a boyfriend?" my mom winked into the rearview window while looking at said Max. Um, AWKWARD TURTLE. Mom was really excited that the Rides back too. She was making casual conversation with Max during the entire car ride. FINALLY, we got to the movie theater. "Bye you guys!" Mom sang out as we left the car.
"Bye Mrs. Kelly!" We started to walk toward the MJR theater. Once we got there, we paid for our tickets and popcorn and went inside the dark room. For a second there, I thought I saw a flash of red hair with a blonde but I dismissed it. I mean, who can it be? Lissa and Sam? That's stupid. We picked our spots in the middle and sat down. Well, me and Max sat down next to each other. Nudge basically sat on Iggy's lap and started making out with him. Ick.
Max was hogging the popcorn, like she used to. So of course, being the perfect gentleman I am, I quickly got a piece and threw it into her beautiful, silky hair. Er, I mean her hair. None of that other stuff. As a result, Max got a whole handful of popcorn and threw it at me.
"Hey! No throwing popcorn!" I yelled at her.
"You started it though!" Max pouted. Obviously, the next couple of minutes were spent throwing popcorn and teasing each other until the movie started. "SHUT UP! THE MOVIE'S STARTING!" Max roared/whispered at me.
A/N: *SPOILER ALERT FOR THE MOVIE DREAM HOUSE! SKIP TO NEXT CHAPTER IF YOU DON'T WANNA READ IT!*
In the movie, there's this guy, Peter, who is insane. He got shot in the head before in a robbery attempt or something. His wife and kids died from said robbery attempt. Anyways, so he went back to his house and made up a fake world where his family were fine. In his lala world, his name is Will. In his fake world, he discovers that his family died, and he researched who did it. He somehow realize that he, PETER, the REAL Peter had kill his family. Later, you realize that Peter was framed for the murder.
*END OF SPOILER.*
Anyways. It was confusing as hell. There were a lot of twists and Max, who was leaning against my shoulder, was asking me what's happening like every 10 seconds. I did not get it at all. Just saying. The people behind us were screaming because of the blood (I think?) and shushing us during the entire movie since we were talking so much. I'm pretty sure Nudge and Iggy understood it since Nudge was screaming in all the right places and Iggy was comforting her.
At one point, Max just started randomly laughing. And laughing. And laughing. I was clueless at what's going on, until she pointed out the idiotic look on one of the actors' faces. The person sitting in front of us looked like he was about to murder us since we're interrupting the peace or whatever. Meanwhile, everyone was terrified and Max was hysterical. Lovely.
Finally, after 92 minutes, the movie was over and we all filed out of the movie theater.
"ZOMG! That was the most scariest movie I've even see in my life! It was really confuzzling though! But it was really scary. I can't believe he was framed! No, wait. Paranormal Activity 3 is THE most scariest. This one is kinda scary. Hey! Who wants to go shopping?" I said in one breath when we left the movie theater. Heh, got you there, didn't I? That was actually Nudge that was talking, believe it or not.
"Um, what about NO Nudge." Max suggested. "Shopping is a complete waste of time." She stared pointedly at Nudge.
But Nudge is an unstoppable force of nature. She started to drag Max toward Pink. Max quickly wriggled out of her tight grip and hid behind me. "Fang, protect me from Nudge!" she demanded.
I sighed. "Guys, let's stop torturing Max and just walk around."
"What an excellent idea, Fangles!"
For the next hour, we strolled around the mall. Nudge kept on trying to push Max into different girly stores but my brave Max is too quick for tiny naïve Nudge. During that time, Max and I finally caught up on our tease-Iggy-and-pull-pranks-on-him-until-he-begs-for-mercy 6-year quota. We did all our usual stuff, like tripping him, the age-old 'Kick Me' sign (Max and I had secretly made special ones with glitter all over it), scooping him, tazing him… But we also did our specialty moves. Max made a distraction while I sneakily bought some ice cubes from Starbucks, and I quickly dropped 20 down Iggy's shirt. Plus, I bought dark coffee and secretly poured black food coloring in it so that Iggy has black teeth. We also used PERMENANT markers to draw on his face while Nudge distracts him with kisses and stuff. Good times, good times. All in all, the flock (Max was insistent on that stupid nickname for the four of us since her favorite animal is the hawk) had a great time at Lakeside Creek.
When my mom came to pick us up, Max was really pissed about leaving and she was this close to charging to the outdoorsy store and buying a tent so she can spend the night at the mall. It took a while to convince her that she has to go home. Three words-dumbbutt school tomorrow.
Mom dropped off Iggy and Nudge at their house, and then drove me and Max back to my house. Mom winked at me and quickly darted into the house, leaving me and Max outside on the porch. Honestly, it was awkward for a while.
"I had a great time today Fang. It's nice to hang out with you again." Max said awkwardly. Suddenly, her eyes flashed and she gave me a warm hug. Wait, what?
"I missed you so much Fang." Ohhh. She started sniffling. Holy crap. Is the great Maximum Ride crying? How's that even possible? Maybe she just has a runny nose or something.
"Missed you too." I whispered back to my best friend.
That moment, while she was hugging me and her face was snuggled in my chest and I was smelling her lavender hair under the stars, made me the happiest I've ever been in 6 years ever since Max left. I wish I could've captured that moment and replay it all the time. It was perfect.
A/N: Hi you guys! :) I tried to spend a little more time on this chapter so yeah... I'm having a pretty crappy week so sorry if this chapter sounds depressed or something.
So... I got a deviantart! Link is on my profile, or just search magicwingsforever (hmm, wonder where that name came from?) up on the top. So far I had uploaded a painting of Minnie Mouse, a random gingerbread man, and MAX AND FANG HUGGING. Yay! That was from Chapter 3/4, remember when they met each other again in school after 6 years? Well, that. Friend me if you have a dA!
I'm the Mad Hatter for Halloween. ^.^ I can't wait! What's your guys' costume gonna be?
R&R! No cliffhanger (for once lol) this week. Love you guys!
PS-And if a certain troll with the initials CJS is reading this, gtfo. I'm still pissed at you. So LEAVE.
