Go long chapters! Amazingly, this took nearly no time at all, and it is mucho longer than all the other chapters. It has a bit of the Nudge Channel, and just a teensy bit of Fax.

When I woke up, I was laying in a very soft bed, pressed up against something soft and warm.

I soon realized that this soft warm thing was Fang and we were in a bed at the hotel. I nearly jumped out of the bed at that thought.

"Max? You up?"

"Well duh. Why am I here?"

"You fainted."

Oh yeah. The past ten minutes came flooding back to me and I sat up, wondering what in the world we were going to do next.

"Fang, where's Jen?"

"She's sharing a room with Angel and Nudge. And I know you don't like her. I was thinking about kicking her out of the flock."

Fang was thinking this?

"You didn't say anything to her yet, did you?"

"No, I wanted to talk to you about it first. But I know what you're going to say."

"Stop jumping to conclusions, Fang! I'm not the same person I was five years ago. I've changed, and I think that we should keep Jen in the flock."

Fang glanced at me with his normal calm expression, but I thought I saw a bit of confusion in his eyes.

"Why do you think that?" His gaze was steady and I almost flinched away from it.

"I have a feeling that we're gonna need her," I said, keeping things as vague as possible. I didn't need anyone else in on my secret.

"I know you Max. That's not all of it."

"Well, I kinda...got a new power while I was at the school." I paused, hoping he wouldn't make me elaborate any more.

"And what might that be?" I guess I hoped wrong.

"I can see the future. It's kinda like your reading minds thing because I have no control over when it happens."

"And what does this have to do with Jen?"

"I saw her saving us from the school. And even the Voice told me that she was genuinely sorry for what she did." I left out the last part. The part where I saw Fang kiss Jen. He didn't really need to know that, did he? It was going to happen regardless.

"Okay, but if something bad happens, it's your fault," Fang said, standing up off the bed and pulling me with him.

"I'll take full blame."

We opened the door to Angel and Nudge's room to find the girls in a circle chatting excitedly.

"Max, you're awake!" Angel shouted, jumping up to hug me. I hugged back, smiling contentedly.

"Max! We were all in here talking and then we heard you shout so we all ran into the hallway, and then we listened to Jeb, and we all talked at the same time, and then you fainted, and then- and then-" She paused, taking a deep breath, and just as soon as she was about to start up again I held up my hand.

"We have something to tell you," I said, glancing at Jen, who was still sitting down.

"That's great 'cause we have something to tell you too! Well, Jen does, but she was talking to us about it, and we all agreed, even though we kinda didn't want to because she's fun. What do you want to tell us? Is is about you and Fang? Are you going out?! That's what I thought! Yay! Max and Fang are going out! This is awesome. Then you can go on dates and we can do Max's hair and makeup and make her look all pretty, not that she doesn't normally, but even prettier!"

"Nudge. Fang and I are not going out," I said, blushing slightly at the thought of that. "We just want to say something."

"But you're holding hands!" She pointed to us, and our hands were, in fact, together.

As if he knew I was going to pull away, Fang tightened his hand around mine.

"That doesn't matter right now. What did Jen want to tell us?"

She didn't move from her spot on the floor.

"I just wanted to say that I know my being here isn't making it any easier for you or for what you have to do, so I decided to leave. I'll be gone by tomorrow morning."

I blinked.

"But Jen! I was going to say that Fang and I decided that it would be best if you stayed!"

Nudge just stared at me, her dark brown eyes wide.

"Max, I know what you saw, but it doesn't matter. That's never going to happen, so just forget it and let me leave. But first, there's something I need to do."

She stood up and walked slowly over to where the rest of us were standing.

She stopped in front of Fang and so quickly that my eyes couldn't even register it, she reached up and started kissing Fang. My eyes widened in surprise, but I waited to see what Fang would do. Would he kiss her back or push her away?

That was the question.

Ha! Cliffy! Sorry, I know you're all gonna kill me for doing that, but I just write it! Don't shoot the messenger! Even though it was my idea. :) Well, please review, and I hope this makes up for the last chapter
