Okay, I received a question asking, Is this story after the 5th book? A: Yes.

Disclaimer: I don't own Max or any other MR characters. James Patterson does. I do own Veritas, Jake, Adrian, and Dani though.

Shoutouts: Rainie16 you rock!

Also I might be needing some new characters in the story. So the first 6 reviewers get to be in the story. P.S. In your review leave a name.

Now on with the story.

Veritas POV

Fang and I left the hotel room and walked to the elevator. We both stepped in.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"Surprise," he said.

I looked up to his face and our eyes met. The elevator doors opened, and we got out. Fang and I walked through the hotel lobby to the parking lot.

I was so hypnotized by his black eyes, I could barely think. His wings unfurled and his strong arms wrapped around my waist, then he jumped into the deep velvet sky and took me with him. We flew in sync, and I loved every second of it.

We landed who knows where, but it was gorgeous. It was a beach, by the looks of it anyways. A weeping willow tree stood alone where the grass ended and turned into sand. The sand went on for about twelve feet, and then finished where the tide of the ocean lapped up against it.

"Um, wow," was all I could say.

Fang nodded. I looked out at the ocean once again, marveling at how beautiful it was. I turned back around. Fang disappeared.

"Fang!" I called. "I know you can turn invisible." No response.

I sighed, thinking about how boyish and mysterious he was trying to be. I climbed the willow and sat down on one of its limbs. A cool breeze blew across my neck.

"Fang, this isn't funny," I said. Someone wrapped their arms around me from behind and answered, "I think it is." Fang.

I simply replied, "How funny is this?" Using my power, I slid through his arms and pushed him. He fell off the willow, hitting a couple branches on the way down, but he caught an updraft, which carried him back up to me.

"Hilarious," he whispered, then flew off with me once again a couple feet above the ocean. Fang suddenly dropped me, and I splashed into the water. As soon as my head bobbed above the water, he started cracking up.

He did not just do that, I thought to myself. I swam back to shore with Fang waiting at the coastline. He helped me out of the water.

"How 'bout a hug, Fang?" I asked. Before he could respond, my arms were already wrapped around him. When I released him, he was soaked.

Fang opened his mouth, but I stuck my finger on his lips before he could say anything.

"That's what you get for dropping me," I stated.

"I was just going to say you better run," he said calmly.

"Why?" I asked.

" 'Cause I'm so gonna get you for doing that."

I started running; I must be slow because he caught up to me really fast. He grabbed me and spun me around.

"Fang put me down," I barely made out because I was laughing so hard. Finally, I was set down.

"You wouldn't mind if I did this. Would you?" he said.

"Do what?" I asked.

He leaned into me and kissed me.

Fang reluctantly pulled away and asked, "Wanna go get some ice cream?"

I smiled and sweetly said, "Wouldn't miss it for the world."
