AN: Hey Everyone. I'm back! I decided that i would just add my next chapter because i've already gotten, like chapter 10 done. So i gave you chapter 7. Yay! Now listen, i told you it would take long for me to update if you didn't give me ten reviews!! Aren't you sad that you didn't review. Well, it made me sad too. To make it up to me, you could review this chapter. Please!!! Oh and guess what? Right now, I'm sitting on my bed, with my cat right next to me, writing this. How is that for a perfect writer moment??

Special thanks to my reviewers; girludontknow, jennifred, jg123, ashpi, and Randomly Obsessed. I have to thank you guys for reviewing. Oh and, girlyoudontknow, This isn't a an expiration date story. I wouldn't do something like that. Its been done alot.

P.S. In this chapter there is some Eggy, and some slight Gadge, ( If you don't know what that is then read to the end, you'll get it eventually)

Disclaimer: Yep, That's right. I don't own Maximum Ride, but, I do own a Twilight poster. So it evens out.

On with the story! Huzzah!!! ( HA HA HA)

Max's POV

Great, Mom had just finished telling Fang about my period, Fang's cheek were red the enitre time. I don't blame him, I'm sure my cheeks were red too. I thought moms weren't supposed to be embarrassing, they were supposed to comfort you, and tell you how evil your first boyfriend was for breaking up with you. Or maybe that was what your best friend is supposed to do. I don't really know.

" OK Fang I'll give you a package of pads. Don't worry Max knows how to put them on. Don't you Max?" Mom asked me, but since i couldn't move anything, i just made an 'uh-hu' noise. "OK well Fang that's it. You can walk Max back to her room now. Just be careful." Mom's voice was full of worry, and sympathy. For Fang or for me i didn't know.

" Max, I'll be right beside you." Fang whispered in my ear. " I won't let you fall, i just need you to stand up, ok?" Since that was impossible because i couldn't move my legs, i made a noise that probably sounded like 'Gurkfd gurrkser lobsterest.' Fang stared at me worried. But he grabbed my hands, and pulled me off the bed. I fell to the floor.

I opened my eyes (because that was the only thing i could do, blink) and Fang was standing over me with eyes as big a saucers. My mom was behind him, her hands over her mouth, tears streaming down her face. I looked at Fang again, and he had put on his best Poker Face, he was trying to hide the fact that he was worried. That was so Fang-ish of him.

" Max, can you move?" Fang asked in a too controlled voice.

" Uh-Uh" i said, though it probably sounded like a gurgle. Fang stared at me, and his mask slipped, I saw how afraid he was. I tried to wrap my arms around him again. But i was still frozen.

Fang slowly grabbed the top of my shirt, and started to pull on the side of it. My eyes widened, and i made a sound like a cat, when it was hungry, a kind of meow. I mean, what the heck was he doing to me. He was staring at the side of my neck, then motioned for Mom to move closer.

He whispered something in her ear and then pointed to me neck, she leaned forward to get a better look, and then gasped and nodded to Fang. I realized it must have been something really bad. Not my expiration date, not my expiration date. Please no, no, no. What about Angel? And Fang? I couldn't leave them here. I Can't leave anyone. Please. Please.

" No Max, it's not your expiration date." The panic in my eyes must have given Fang a clue to what i had been thinking. " It's a needle track, someone gave you a shot in your neck." I stopped moving, ok well, I was already not moving, so in my mind, i made myself freeze. "Max, did you let anyone come near you today?" Fang asked the most stupid questions. I looked side to side. He got what i was doing, ( AN: For those of you who don't, she was shaking her eyes, kind of like you shake your head no.)

"M-Max," Mom's voice scared me a little, she never stuttered, not when she first saw my wing, not when she met Fang, or When she finally met the entire Flock. " Max, we need to find out what's wrong with you. Some one has given you a shot, and we don't know what it is. We need to go to my work, there we can do some tests on you. It will help us find a way for you to move." Mom knew what it did to us when we were anywhere near doctors offices, hospitals, or even her work. So when she said that, i knew it was bad.

" Uh-hu." I agreed with her even though it scared the crap out of me to be near anything that smells anesiptic-y. Fang looked at me, and nodded. He thought i made the right choice, that good. I made my ayes wide and looked pointedly at the door, then to Fang, then to the door.

" OK Max, I'll go get the Flock. Dr. M, when can we get the tests over with?" Fang said, his voice cracked once when he said 'tests.' But that's understandable, after living for 7 years in a dog cage, having 'tests' done to you every day of every week of every month. That word was pretty scary.

" If you want to go tomorrow, we can." Mom's voice wavered a bit, but my mom was strong.

Gazzy's POV

Fang came walking towards us, his face was stony still. How the heck does he do that? I want a poker face like that, Maybe then I'll beat Iggy at poker. Fang was still walking towards us, and by now, we were all silent. He stopped a few feet away from where Ella and Iggy were cuddling on the couch. Blah!

" Max has to go to Dr. M's office, something is very wrong with her. We're going with her." Fang stated blankly. I was frozen with shock, something was wrong with Max. Max can't have anything wrong wiht her. She's Max. Max isn't crazy. She can't be.

The Flock (and Ella) either gasped or remanded silent. Ella started too cry again so Iggy slowly wiped away her tears with his finger, every so often whispering words of reassurance to her. It was kinda sickening to watch.

Angel ran to Fang and with out hesitation wrapped her arms around him. Fang just stared blankly ahead, he was defiantly in shock. Today must have been a hard day for him. He should probably get some sleep to. We all know that he had been staying just out side Max's door for the past week because he was so worried about her.

I heard a something that sounded like a sob. I turned around and saw Nudge, crying in a corner. My heart skipped a beat when i saw her so sad. I walked over to her and sat down right next to her. I had no idea what i was going to say to her. So i did what Fang did a little while ago, i wrapped my arms around her shoulders and just sat there.

Nudge's POV

Gazzy had wrapped his arm around me, and I just sat there crying. What else was going to happen? Iggy has to get a leg amputated? Then he'd be blind and handy-capped? Total lost his voice? That wouldn't really be a total lost though, but it would still be bad.

" Gazzy." I murmured, i rested my head on his shoulder. He just sat there, his arms wrapped tighter around me. " Gazzy, thanks." I didn't know what else to say, which was a first, so i just wrapped my arms around him. Here we were, crying in each others arms, how sweet. Wait, me and Gazzy, we're holding each other close. Ohmygod. Me and Gazzy? That would never happen. Ever.

" Gazzy, let go of me please." I whispered, i was that shocked. He quickly let go and looked away, but not before i saw the pink on his cheeks, and the hurt in his eye.

AN: See i told you there was Gadge!! Gadge is just like Fax or Eggy, but with Nudge and Gazzy. Could you tell? Whats that? I can't hear you. Why? Because you can't talk through a computer. So you have to review to tell me. Do it!!! Please!!! PLeaassssseeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!! So, I want to get twelve (12) Reviews. Please? You guys need like, 5 more reviews. Oh and sorry I haven't updated in so long. I haven't given up on the story.
