Hey guys, I'm really sorry I didn't get to update yesterday but my cousins are in town and I hung out with them all day. But now its 2:00 AM and everyone's asleep so I can FINALLY have some peace and quiet and write chapter 10. Please enjoy!

Disclaimer: a) I am a FEMALE b) I'm not middle aged, in fact im still working my way through high school c) im not creative enough to come up with something like MR d) if I DID own Maximum Ride Max and Fang would have gotten together WAY before the 5th book, Iggy would have his sight back, the world would be saved, and the whole flock would live happily ever after! THAT is why I don't own MR :D

Fang POV

I was sitting next to Max on a beach, watching the sun play on her hair, bringing out the blond streaks even more than usual. I was sitting beside her in some black swim trunks, just looking at her, then she said something and we were both laughing.

I knew it was dream when I realized that I was laughing.

I don't laugh.

Occasionally I chuckle, but I never laugh.

And Max would NEVER wear that bathing suit where she might be seen.

Even though she looked absolutely AMAZING in it.

She still doesn't accept the fact that she's gorgeous.

It was beautiful in my dream. The sand looked like molten gold with diamonds scattered everywhere. I didn't want it to end.

But then, like dreams so often do, it shifted into another one.

This time, I was flying at night; alone with just my steady wing-beats to keep me company.

I loved flying like this.

Sometimes when it was my watch, I would patrol from the skies, flying in big arcs, having the night air rub against my feathers.

There was nothing like it in the world.

But of course, it had to end.

I heard a slight squeaking noise and my eyes snapped open, focusing immediately on the back of Max's head.

I groaned as I thought of that dream about the beach.

It would be nice if we could just get away.

Away from the stress of the flock, away from everything and just take a break.

But I knew Max would never go for it.

That's why I groaned.

Max sat up suddenly, getting ready to get out of bed, but I couldn't let her go that easily.

"What, no good morning kiss?" I asked.

She rolled her eyes but kissed me nonetheless.

I would never get tired of kissing her.

When she finally pulled away, she was breathing hard, and I'm not ashamed to admit that my pulse was racing a bit faster than usual too.

Abruptly Max asked me, "Fang, did you see something weird this morning?"

What in the world was she talking about?

"Weird as in…"

"Well," she paused for a moment, obviously trying to find the right words, "weird as seeing us on a beach with me dressed in a REALLY skimpy bikini, then you flying at night?"

Although I'm usually good at keeping my emotions in check, it felt like my eyes were about to pop out of my head.

"That's what I was just dreaming about."

Maybe this is my new skill.

But what exactly IS my new skill?

Could I show people my dreams?

Could I see the future and show other people, kind of like a fortune teller? I thought powers were supposed to be obvious, not confusing.

Max looked shocked and I could tell that she hadn't been expecting me to answer her like I did. She studied me for a second before understanding dawned in her eyes.

Then she slapped me.

"What the HELL was that for?!"

"For dreaming about me in that bikini you PERVERT!"

"Hey, I'm a teenage guy; it's not my fault if the hormones take over sometimes."

She just blushed and looked down.

I smiled slightly, but it turned to a frown as I tried to puzzle out my new power.

What could it be?

Maybe I should try to do different things until one of them works.

I told Max and she nodded.

First things first.

Could I see the future?

After a few minutes concentrating on the future, I gave up. My power obviously wasn't going to help me be a fortune teller.

Darn.

And I had already bought myself a crystal ball.

Hmm, well maybe I could show people stuff, like illusions. That would be fun to annoy Max with.

I tried concentrating on an image of Max taking off, so beautiful she took my breath away.

I heard Max gasp and I opened my eyes to see two, count 'em, TWO Max's in the room.

One was sitting beside me on the bed, but the other was about to take off, wings open like sails, just as I had imagined in my head.

Whoa.

Talk about cool.

I could make people see things.

I got up off of the bed and walked over to Imaginary Max, reaching out to touch her face, but my hand passed through her whole body like she wasn't even there.

Which she wasn't, I tried to remind myself. Max, my Max, was sitting on the bed looking a bit shell-shocked.

This was just like a hologram of Max coming from my head.

But how did I get rid of it?

Well maybe I could just not think of it.

So I cleared my head and thought of nothing, something that I've become incredibly good at over the past few years, and the hologram of Max slowly disappeared, fading until it wasn't there anymore.

Can you say AWESOME!?

I looked over at Max, still on the bed, and grinned at her.

I know what you're thinking.

Did Fang just smile?

Did that really happen?

Well yeah, it did.

You would smile too if you had just gotten a totally amazing new power.

Max smiled back at me and said, "How did you do that?"

"I don't really know exactly what I did. I mean, I just concentrated on a picture in my mind and then BAM, there it was. Then to make it go away I just think of nothing."

That was probably the longest sentence I've said since that day in the woods.

"That is SO COOL!"

I just smiled again, already loving my newfound skill.

Suddenly, I saw Max's eyes light up like when she got a brilliant (or sometimes not so brilliant) plan.

"We should prank the kids."

Ok, I take back what I said about some of her plans being not so brilliant. I smiled deviously at her and nodded my head.

And some people wonder why I love this girl.

Well, I hope you enjoyed it. For some reason this chapter seems off to me. Maybe they're OOC or something, I can't really tell, but I am essentially a lazy person and didn't want to stay up 'till 4 rewriting it just to make myself feel better. BTW, if you see any mistakes or anything, just tell me, and I'll try to fix them. It really bothers me when I'm reading fanfictions and the spelling is wrong and you can hardly read it, (my family calls me a grammar Nazi) so just tell me. Oh and anyone who doesn't understand Fang's new power, just leave me a review or PM me and I'll explain it in more detail. The next chapter will (hopefully) be a lot better. Thanks again for reading and reviewing! :D
