I don't own Maximum Ride.

I felt like passing out. That was really lame and stupid. Why did that happen? And to me? As if I wasn't messed up enough.

"Max?"

When will the voice give me a straight answer?

"Max?"

Why am I driving?

"Maaxxx…."

Where am I going?

"Max!"

Why do I have wings? Oh wait, I know that one.

"MAX!" yelled Gazzy

"What!" I yelled completely aware of everything now.

"You crashed us into a tree. We're all dead." Gazzy said eerily.

"Oh whatever." I said saucily.

"Just kidding!" I heard him yell next to my ear.

"Anyways… what do you want?"

"Oh nothing… Fang and Iggy do though."

I looked up to see them looking tired and hungry. Iggy flailed his arms around.

"oh. Well then." I pulled up to the KFC and woke up Nudge and Angel.

"We're at KFC." I tempted.

"Kool-aid…what?" Nudge spluttered looking around.

Angel giggled.

"Nudge dreams of THE weirdest things Max." Angel used her insight to tell me.

"Then again so does Max." Ella pointed out.

So we went in the KFC and ordered a BUNCH of food. The people gave us weird looks and one lady asked if we were having some huge party extravaganza thing. She then proceeded to ask if she was invited.

My response: "uhh… no."

She was straight up crazy homeskilletbiscuits.

We sat down at a table and had like three people bring us our food.

"Enjoy your Christmas bonus." I said as the pervy teenaged boy left. The nerve of him. Nobody checks out Maximum Ride, and I mean NOBODY.

So we all dug in to our mashed potatoes and gravy, chicken buckets, mac n' cheese, cole slaw, biscuits, and snackers attacking it as if we hadn't eaten in forever. Except Ella who ate maybe a quarter as much as we did. She eats a lot too.

We created quite a crowd. People came from far and wide. I had to give out quite a few glares so I could eat my meal in peace.

We ate quickly and left in a matter of minutes before I remembered the old path that I could zip down with no cops since it was abandoned.

I sped at about 85 miles per hour the whole time. Fang and Iggy were relieved that they didn't have to go really slow.

I put the top down so everyone's hair would be a mess. Except that the girl's hair was tied back and wouldn't whip about.

Gazzy just looked unphased by my speed for a car. That little wannabe.

I turned up the radio to Take you there. I screamed the lyrics as Ella did a little dance thing and Nudge head-nodded.

Angel smiled uncontrollably and laughed. Iggy and Fang just…well. Fang glared. It wasn't one of his songs.

What a wuss.

Anyways, we must've been a sight for sore eyes.

I drove contently until I remembered something.

"Ella call mom." I said slowing down to a much more moderate 60.

I turned off the radio and handed her my phone.

"Guys keep quiet." Angel hushed the chatty Kathy's.

They gave her a pointed look.

"Like we can't be quiet." Nudge pouted.

I snorted. Then shut up, Ella was on the phone.

"Hi Momma! We'll be home soon. A LOT of stuff happened. Make some cookies please! Love ya, see you soon." Ella left a message.

Then she flipped my phone shut, put it in the cup holder and flipped on the radio to one of Fang's songs.

It's called "Leavin'" (Originally by Jesse McCartney.)

I sang along and Fang smiled into the air.

Oh the joys of raptor vision. If only I could have talons.

Ohh eww. No, never mind that statement.

When I got home I saw my mother dead. On the floor.

No, I guessed wrong. [thankfully]. She was at the table with cookies.

"Hi Mom. These are the other kids from the School. Fang is international superstar Nick… whatever his name was. And we went backstage and were attacked by Erasers only the FBI showed up for a false alarm and not that… Weird." I snatched a cookie and went to take a shower.

While I was in the shower Angel was fully explaining everything to my mom. Even what I didn't know.

I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around me.

Fang was sitting on my bed.

"Nice room."

"WHAT are you doing in here!" I was surprised.

"Waiting."

"Close your eyes. If you peak while I change I'll gauge your eyes out with a spoon." I replied snarkily. [Someone threatened me with that. It just sticks with you.]

I changed as fast as humanly possible. Well I guess… I'm not technically 100% human. You know what I mean though right?

"Okay Fang. You can open your eyes. I'm done."

He uncovered his eyes and nodded.

"Max, we got rid of Itex a long time ago."

"I know. Us too… I guess." I fumbled.

"So what do you think?"

"I don't know, Fang. It could be the last few Itex strains or, it could be a regrouping."

Fang nodded.

"Max, I believe we were doing something, before we got…interrupted."

I blushed as he leaned in towards me.

I closed my eyes and felt his lips lightly touch mine.

"That was it?"

"What?"

"You call that a kiss!" I was in disbelief. An international superstar doesn't know how to kiss. That's like an oxymoron. "Come on!"

I smashed my lips to his. I kissed him and he kissed back with a passion I'd never felt with anybody else before.

It was nice and refreshing.

I broke away from him and hugged him.

"It's nice to have you back." I smiled into his chest.

Review if you want me to continue, or if you have any ideas. There'll be a quick ending if no one cares.
