and last but not least... betul!

Your reviews mean a lot to me! Especially when I look at my story stats to find that a lot of people have read it but never bothered to review. Your reviews are what keeps me going!

Oh and betul, Thanks for your review. It pretty much made my day when I read it. I was going to PM you a reply but I couldn't because well,... there's like no link to you name. The other reviewers' names are in blue and I can click on them and reply but yours is the only one in black. I have no idea why? Did you delete your account or something? Idk but I just wanted to say thank you! Even if you might never read this... :(

Ok, so I realized I while ago that I haven't had any disclaimers so far. And everytime, I'm just like, "Eh. I'll put a disclaimer in my next chapter." And because I'm just the awkward turtle that I am, I forget. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. But not today my friends! Mwahahahahaha!

Disclaimer: I don't not own Maximum Ride. All credit goes to James Patterson. Also, I am only half owner of this story since I am finishing it for Anna Ride.

Does that cover everything? Ok. Well, enjoy! (:

Max POV

Today's Saturday. So I'm pretty sure you know what that means. It's the day for my date with Ryan. Joy. Even though this was just to get back at Fang, the girls decided they still wanted to doll me up. Since you know, I NEED to wear more makeup. Nudge's words, not mine.

I won't bore you with the details of my outfit or how my makeup was. Point is, in the end they did a magnificent job as always. Yada-yada-yada, so on and so on, blah blah blah.

I sound very melancholic right now don't I? Well do you know what it's like to have to do something against your own will? Well, actually no one forced me to do this so its more like doing something essential that you don't like. A good example is homework. You don't like it, but you still have to finish it one way or another because it's the only way you'll learn. Going on the date with Ryan is no different. It's essential to the plan but I don't like it.

I can't explain it, but all I know is it feels...wrong. I'm not afraid of hurting Ryan, pfft that guy could have ninja's chasing him with their pink fluffy poison darts sticking out of his ass and I wouldn't care. It just feels...wrong. I know I'm not making sense. Just be glad you haven't had to put up with me for the last two weeks. Once I really thought about my date with Ryan I became super depressed. I radiated emo-ness everywhere.

Have you ever seen those animes where the character is ashamed or sad or depressed? You know, with their heads bent down, and those dark funny looking squiggly lines above their head? Yep. I'm that depressed.

I sorta feel bad for the girls. They've been putting up with me and not saying a single word. And I'm not always just gloomy either. On a good day I'm just gloomy and emo but on a bad day, I snap at just about everyone I see. No, I don't cut myself... Doh! You guys know what I mean when I say emo! -_-

Ryan got here on the dot and off I went with him to our "wonderful" date. It was pretty obvious that he was trying to make conversation in the car.

"So Max, where do you want to go?" Ha, I'm surprised you even remembered my name douche bag. Considering the fact that last time, all you called me was, and I quote, "Babe".

"I really don't care. Wherever you want to, I guess."

"You're not too happy about going on a date with me, are you? Are you thinking this is some huge-ass mistake? Max if you want, I can turn around and just drop you back off at your sorority house."

Ok. THAT was unexpected. I sort of feel guilty now...Who knew he was so sweet? I was honestly expecting a lot more unicorn-horn- stuck-up-his-butt-ass-holiness since he was related to Dylan, but instead, I got this super sweet softie of a guy. *Cue chorus of "Awwws" in my head* The chick that manages to reel this guy in is going to be in for a treat. NO, not THAT kind of treat. Sheesh. Can't a girl say something normal these days without it being turned into some kind of sex innuendo?!

"No, Ryan, it's really ok! I promise. I'm just not feeling to good today. That's all."

I know, stupidest excuse ever right? But cut me some slack! I can't come up with a good excuse off the top of my head without warning!

"Oh, really now?" He cocked an eyebrow at me," because I've been noticing your behavior all week and it really seemed like you were becoming more and more depressed everytime you saw me. Did I mention you immediately walked off in the other direction everytime you saw me?"

"Bro, just shut up and drive me to where you want to go before I slap you so hard that that unicorn horn becomes unlodged from your butt!"

"Um...WHAT?!"

"Oh, never mind," sometimes, I forget people don't know what's going on inside my head. Praise the Lord for that! "just drive Ryan."

"Ok...In that case I already picked out the perfect place for us."

*half an hour later*

Ryan POV

We finally reached the destination I had picked out for us tonight. Max, of course, had fallen asleep during the car ride. She really was beautiful. Asleep or awake. Fang was such a dip shit to let her go. But now she's all mine. ALL mine...MWHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Just kidding folks. I really don't like Max that way. I said yes to going on a date with her for my own reasons. Relax, I won't hurt her, people. Calm what little titties you have...or in some extreme cases man boobs... out there. You'll see why in a little bit.

But now...how to wake her up without her socking me in the face...

"Max, wake up! We're here...Max? MAX! *whisper in her ear* "Max, if I were you, I would wake up. The chocolate chip apocalypse is coming and the world needs you help..."

Wait for it...5...4...3...2...1...

"WHAT?! MY DREAM IS COMING TRUE! SUPER MAX TO THE RESCUE!" (A/N: I came up with that off the top of my head just now...I can't believe it actually rhymed...)

Of course this is typical. I couldn't help but grin at her. She noticed my grin.

"What, you got a problem with my dreams, bub?" she demanded.

"No ma'am. Dreaming about the world coming to an end because of the chocolate chip cookie apocalypse, and accepting the fact that you will have to become a fat twinkie for the sake of the world and eat them all before they can kill and mutilate the humans is perfectly normal," I answered obediently.

"That's what I thought."

And with that, she stepped out of the car.

Max POV

I admit, I was trying to get out of the car as fast as I could. It was sort of mortifying that I would wake up shouting that.

But I wasn't dreaming about cookies...I was dreaming about Fang and all of our times together. Fang holding me, Fang kissing me, Fang running after me, so on and so on. I'm sorta glad I woke up screaming about cookies instead of screaming out, "I love you, FANG!" like some crazed fan girl.

Suddenly, a shrill whistle pierced the air. I whirled around with my heart pounding at 1230984379582 beats per minute in my chest only to find that it was Ryan. "What?" I asked agitatedly.

"Max, it's this way."

"Oh." I could feel the heat rising to my cheeks.

When we got there it was...breathtaking. I forgot to mention it, but when I stepped out of the car I found that we were in the middle of the forest. Ryan had taken us to a secluded place and found a beautiful, fairy tale- like clearing. We were at the top of a small hill that had just a single oak tree at the top. At the bottom, of this small hill, was a serene pond, complete with adorable ducklings swimming around in a line following their mother. The grass was green and lush with random pops of color from all of the wild flowers. And finally, the beautiful sunset only helped to enhance all of the vibrant colors in the clearing. Crickets were starting to chirp as it got darker and darker.

I walked up to the oak tree with Ryan to find that there was a picnic blanket set up complete with a mouth watering meal laid on top. In short, it was any girl's dream date.

Ryan took off his shoes, "Shall we?"

"We shall", I answered and took of my- no Nudg'es designer heels. Which I was glad to be rid of since they were butchering my feet.

After we finished devouring our meals like the beasts that we both were, we just sat there and talked.

"I figured we wouldn't need candles because with both of our appetites, we could finish all of this food before the sun went down. And plus, having candles in the middle of a forest full of wood isn't exactly the brightest idea. What did you think Max?"

"I-I love it. It's gorgeous here Ryan, it really is. And the meal was superb." Yes, people, Maximum Martinez can be polite and has quite the extensive vocabulary. See what I did there?

" I was hoping you would say that. This is where I usually go when I need to think. Or if I need inspiration for some kind of school-related project. I thought I would be nice to share with you."

And with that, my perfect evening was ruined. It wasn't because Ryan said anything wrong. It was just...I used to think this guy was such a douche bag who only cared about his reflection. But after only one evening with him I could tell it was all a charade. He was thoughtful, caring, smart, and had an amazing sense of humor. I would feel so bad if it was me who broke his spirit. That's it. I have to tell him the truth. Everything.

"Ryan, I have something to confess."

"Max, so do I," he whispered. Within the amount of time that I had spent previously thinking, Ryan had managed to inch closer and closer. Now we were only a breath apart.

Oh no, oh no no no no NO. I can't let him kiss me. It can't happen like this! But it was too late. I was trapped in his eyes. The light from the sunset allowed me to see the true colors of his eyes, which to be honest, I never really cared enough to notice before. Now that I looked they were beautiful. They were hazel with flecks of black in them. Just the opposite of Fang's who had black, obsidian eyes with golden flecks in them.

"Ryan, I-"

"Ssshhh Max," he cooed, "I want you to listen to what I have to say first." And just like that I was paralyzed. It would all be over the moment his lips touched mine. However, at the last second, he veered a bit to my right so that his lips were right next to my ear. And with that, he whispered the three words that would turn my life upside down...

A/N: I know, I know. I'm so evil for leaving such a cliff hanger but I had to do it. I don't have much time to write and think of good plots so this cliff hanger was good because I will have something to build off of for the next chapter. ^^ I did keep my promise of writing as soon as I could though so don't complain. I will hopefully be updating a new chapter during the teacher work day which is on Monday. In the mean time...why don't you guys leave a review of what you think those four words might have been? Can't wait to see what you guys come up with. That is if you even review at all. SO REVIEW MY PEEPS! Bye for now ;)
