Chapter 7

Max's POV

We went shopping after breakfast, I was so happy, me and Fang were finally going out! Anyways I wasn't too thrilled about the shopping part, but hey it was for a good reason, we were going Christmas shopping, Christmas was only a couple days away and we were out to buy each other gifts.
I didn't let Fang join me, actually everyone separated except for Gazzy and Iggy, we went to the mall, and we were all to find each other in the food court for lunch. I looked through the clothes; that would be something I'd buy for Nudge. And then I'd look through the jewelry and accessories to find her things to wear her outfit with. I could get Angel a couple of toys and some clothes too. I could get Gazzy a video game. And maybe a couple of toy guns. Iggy, I could buy him a detective kit, a video game too. Now what could I get Fang? It had to be something special, something he would like, okay so maybe a black outfit, but there should be something more, something that showed him, all the care I felt for him. Then out of nowhere, some words started to flow in my mind. It was a poem, that's strange I never really wrote poems but I felt this one coming and I knew I had to write it down. I took out my cell phone, yes Maximum Ride has a cell phone, but it's for strict use only! Anyways I took out my phone and went to the text message center, I clicked create new message and texted my poem. It went like this:

People tend to struggle on what to ask Santa Claus for, but,

Toys tend to break

But without you, my heart aches

Money, you usually spend on crap you don't need

But you are very important to me

Clothes will eventually rip apart

But you hold a very special place in my heart

If I had to ask Santa Claus for something pure and true

I'd ask Santa Claus for you

I looked over what I had written. I was surprised, it sounded pretty good. I decided I would give Fang this poem as part of my present. So I went to look for everyone else's gifts.

Fang's POV

"What should I get Max?

I just want to make it clear that I love Fax!

Life is hard enough having to have Erasers

But being without her makes my day grayer

And for her life I'd always say a prayer

Max is a real special girl

She's gonna save the world!

She's my best friend

She's the one that, with the rest of my life, I'd like to spend

What can I get her to show what I feel?

I want her to know that I love her, and I want it to be clear

She's the girl that gets me past my fears

She raised me up and has always been there for me

She's as perfect as anyone can be

And I just want to say all this to her

But I just don't know how or what type of gift she'd prefer"

I thought out loud by mistake. Nudge and Angel had been listening to me from behind a clothes rack. They came out from behind, Nudge and Angel both said,

"Fang that was beautiful! Look, we know that you're having trouble finding Max the perfect gift, but just tell her what you just said. That will show you're feelings the best! Oh and I mean you can still get her like a nice skirt…"

"Thanks, but I think I'll go with an outfit or sweats, what color should I get?"

"Red or blue."

"Alright, but I don't know exactly what I just said."

"Don't worry we recorded your whole speech. That's the cool part about these MP3's." Nudge said showing me her MP3.

"Okay give me that! I'll write it down; I'll give you you're MP3 later Nudge."

"Okay Fang, we're gonna go look around now, see ya later!"

I waved to them then went to get my gifts. I bought Iggy some clothes and cologne. I bought Gazzy this really cool tank toy and little action figures. I bought Nudge some earrings and tried to find some sweaters and shoes to match with them. I got Angel a teddy bear and a blanket and a whole pink out fit. (Yeah I know the outfit was pink, but hey, she wasn't into wearing black!) Then I went to look for a whole suit of sweats for Max, I looked for her size and found it in teal and red, I went with red, then I got her some branded shoes and left to the food court, so I would have time to write down what I had recorded on the MP3.

Iggy's POV

Gazzy was with me during my whole shopping trip, I mean come on they couldn't let me go alone, I'd get lost! But anyways, me and Gazzy were more preoccupied with the cool toy guns and demos of shooting games to pay much attention to our gift list. Then when we checked the time, we only had an hour before we had to meet the rest of the flock, we quickly left and went to find the other's gifts. Gazzy got my gift while I was there; duh, it didn't matter, I couldn't see it. I'd come back for his later.

Nudge's POV

Ok so I know I'm supposed to be shopping for others, but hey that can't stop me from getting a couple things for myself, right? So anyways, I got Angel a really cute outfit, and I got Max her outfit for her first date with Fang. I would make Angel mind-control Max into wearing it. I got Gazzy some toys and some branded shoes, I got Fang cologne and a black sweater and dark jeans. I got Iggy a totally hot shirt, with some nice jeans, and branded shoes. I would make everyone a card later.

Angel's POV

YAY! I can't believe I got to go on my own today! I'm so excited, anyways I know what I'm getting Nudge, clothes and accessories, of course, and I could get Gazzy some of his favorite candy and a nice toy to blow up. I was getting Fang some cologne and dark clothes. I would get Iggy some of his favorite CD's and a new game for his X-Box. And I would get Max some gorgeous heeled shoes, earrings, a makeup kit and a dress. I could give her a little push into wearing it all, and then I could also buy some leggings, so she'd HAVE to wear the dress!
