DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN MAXIMUM RIDE OR ANY OF ITS CHARACTERS; ONLY THE PLOT.
WARNING: Characters are usually OOC and don't have wings!
Minor time skip to day that they all move into the new house!
Iggy POV:
So much has happened since Nudge, Fang, Max and I arrived at the beach house. Nudge and I started dating, Max started to be more open and forgave me and Fang, and then Max almost killed herself by getting hit by a hummer. But even after we got home much more happened; Max was suddenly rich, I had a new Buick, and now I was moving into a big house with Max, Nudge, Fang, and when he comes back, Ari. I also noticed that Max and Nudge seemed to go off and talk in hushed tones more often, but it was probably girl talk so I didn't mention anything.
"Yo Ig, it would be nice if you helped carry some of these boxes inside instead of standing there daydreaming!" Fang yelled from inside of the giant mover's truck that we had rented.
"Yeah, alright." I said as I climbed up the ramp to grab a box.
All the furniture had already been moved inside so Fang, Max, Nudge, and I were just bringing in the boxes of smaller items. Nudge alone had filled about a third of the truck with clothes, accessories, make-up, and random crap.
(Time Skip to after everything is unpacked and house is completely set up)
Max POV:
"Alright, and done." I said with a satisfied smile as I adjusted the last picture frame on the wall in the opening hallway.
"Well finally, can we order something to eat now?" Iggy asked annoyed. I nodded my head as I plopped onto the new leather over stuffed couch in the living room that conjoined with the kitchen and the opening hallway. Iggy did a mini happy dance and whisked the phone off the stand.
15 minutes later Iggy had finished ordering food for the 4 of us and stated that he and Fang were going to pay for it.
Fang POV:
It's been about 3 hours since we all moved into the new house; we hadn't yet picked our bedrooms. The house is huge and even has its own entertainment center in the basement. I was completely befuddled as to how Max managed to get this house with Nudge and get the 4 new vehicles that were now in the 5 car garage with Nudge's Ford Escape.
The food that Iggy had ordered us had just arrived and we were all sitting around the table in the giant kitchen eating through it like there was no tomorrow. After swallowing a mouthful of food Max looked up at everyone.
"So, I was thinking of not going to college, or you know, taking courses online."
"What? Max, Ari would kill you if you didn't go to college." I said surprised by Max's thought.
"Yeah I know Fang… But I got this job and it pays well but has random hours, so I probably won't be able to go the college half the time anyways. So there's no point."
"Max…" I said with an 'are-you-sure look in my eyes'. Max nodded her head firmly and I sighed.
Nudge then spoke up. "Yeah same here, Max and I are actually working for the same place so I'm thinking the same thing."
Iggy looked sad and said, "Aw but who am I going to hang out with in between classes? Fang is no fun; I need my girl there."
Nudge sighed knowing it was useless to argue with Iggy when it came to their relationship. "Fine, but if I go then Max has to go too." Max then looked at Nudge like she was crazy, but eventually sighed and nodded in agreement.
Iggy then jumped out of his chair and did a happy dance.
"Well you don't really have to make any decisions now; we have over a month left of summer to decide." I said hoping to cheer Max up a bit, which I did. Iggy also stopped his happy dance and glared at me.
(Time Skip, Still Fang POV)
After we finished eating Max and Nudge dragged me and Iggy upstairs to show us our rooms that they had already picked for us. My room was pretty big; it had a queen sized bed with navy blue sheets, a new stereo, a big closet, navy blue walls, dark hardwood flooring, dark window curtains, and a balcony that conjoined into Max's room that was next to mine.
Max's room had azure turquoise walls, a honey coloured hardwood floor, a queen sized canopy bed, off white sheets, a new stereo, a small bookshelf, a fuzzy dark pink carpet, and huge closet that was already full.
Nudge's room was very pink; the hardwood was even tinted pink. I walked into it and felt blinded by the quantity of pink that was everywhere. Enough said about that. She had her own balcony.
Iggy's room was very him. There was a queen sized bed with neon smiley face sheets, a bookshelf filled with comics, a nightstand with a lock on the door of it for god knows what, a new stereo, and a big bay window. It looked messy, but organized messy. His room was next to Ari's and they shared a balcony.
After looking around our rooms Max and Nudge showed us the simple guest room, Ari's room that resembled his back at the old apartment, the 2 bathrooms on the same floor (one for Max and Nudge, the other for me and the guys), the common room, and then we went upstairs to see the very empty attic.
After our tour of upstairs the girls took us into the basement and showed us the small entertainment center, the study/office, and they even had a small training room, when I asked them what it was for Max said that she and Nudge were going to start karate classes.
After touring the whole house Max led me outside, leaving Iggy and Nudge inside since they were busy sucking each others faces off in the living room.
"So, you like the house and you're motor cycle?" Max asked me while leading me to a porch swing by the pool.
"Yeah; the house is really nice and the motorcycle is awesome. Thanks." I said with a small smile as Max and I sat on the swing. We didn't sit close to each other much to my regret and I wondered if she remembered me telling her I loved her right before she woke up in the hospital.
"No problem. I mean you, me, and Iggy had our differences in the past; but I feel a lot closer to you now plus you, Iggy, Ari, and Nudge are like a family to me and I like to keep my family close to me." Max said now gazing up at the stars.
"So what do you do for your job?" I asked Max, inching just a bit closer. She hesitated before answering my question.
"Nudge and I are working at this new spa/salon; it's about a 10 minute drive from here. They're short staffed so Nudge and I are getting paid a lot, but have to go in at any random moment. We have pagers to tell us when we are needed." Max said. She sighed and leaned her head on my shoulder (I had moved closer while she was talking).
Max and I sat there for awhile, just looking at the stars, not thinking about tomorrow or the rest of the future, but just right now.
So the house they moved into is huge! It was kind of a crap chapter but I just wanted to get through it. Sorry there was only very minor FAX at the end, but trust me, the FAX gets major in the next few chapters! So please R&R
