Ash:
FULL NAME:
Ashler Ella Marie Ride Mares
She hasn't told her family that she's married, so she just goes by Ash/Ashler Ride (but she's pretending to be Max right now)
FAMILY
Mother: Maximum Ride
Father: Fang (no last name, yet)
Husband: Ian Mares
DESCRIPTION
Age: 19 years and 5 months as a hint to how far away we are from the twenty year marker Max gave birth to Ash six months after Fang left, so there is only a month until Max is supposed to meet Fang at the cliff. (Max was three months pregnant when Fang left, she left the Flock when she was five months pregnant. That just shows you how long Max told herself that she wasn't pregnant. Also she wasn't eating so it didn't show that she was pregnant)
Hair: red (You know Max hates that)
Eyes: chocolate brown
Height: 5"8
PERSONALITY
She is like Max, but she is softer (she wasn't raised like Max, so she doesn't have quit the same personality). She is more loving, especially with Ian, but she will put her foot down. She is curious, after all she never met her father (hint hint). She is more connected to the outside world, she may keep it on the down low, but she is much more social.

ASH POV
Seattle
I wake up two days later feeling very stressed. Angel invited Gazzy to dinner at the house. Why is this bad? He is a freaking bomb technician! She tells me that "I" have missed a lot in the past 20 years.
Angel tells me that my "mom" lives a couple hours away, in Wenatchee. She says it's because there are lots of horses and she sometimes gets to treat wildlife. I also learn that Ella married Iggy and they have two kids together ( with another baby on the way).
Nudge married some guy, named Brian. But he wasn't here because he had taken their daughter, Kinsey, on a business trip to New York. During the day Kinsey was touring fancy private schools, while Brian was in meetings. They wouldn't be back for about two months. Apparently Kinsey is as picky and fashion conscious as Nudge.
Angel lives with Nudge and her family, but she is probably going to move in with her boyfriend, Carter, soon. Angel and Carter had been going out for three years. Nudge told me, when Angel wasn't around, that there was a rumor going around the Flock that Carter was going to propose any day. Angel doesn't listen to them though.
"We need to get you new clothes," Nudge tells me as she motions to my entire body with disgust.
I look at her in disbelief. She really is like my mom described her. All I do is try to dress like my mom did and I have to get a makeover because of it. Yes I am a girlier girl than my mom, but that doesn't mean you can just go and give me a makeover.
"No," I tell her.
"Did you just tell me no?" she asks, raising her eyebrows.
"Yes, I did."
"I don't think you did," she smirks, putting her face close to mine, "Because if you did you can pack your ass up and leave."
"Um... What I meant to say was that I did understand and that no I did not buy this anywhere you would approve of."
"Good," she says, "Now go get in the car."
Half an hour later we arrive at some store called... Never mind I can't even remember the name. All I know is that this is going to cost a lot of money. Especially with all the stuff she is making me try on and keep.
"Oh, I like that," Angel says to me as I walk out of the dressing room.
I'm wearing a formal, teal blue evening dress. They even find some matching shoes. Great. My life is now complete.
"The dress will even go with your rings that you wear around your neck," Nudge tells me.
I instinctively bring a hand to my neck to cover the rings. How could I be so stupid? Most girls don't wear rings around their necks. And I am supposed to be single. Rings usually mean married.
"Is that the promise ring Fang bought for you?" Nudge asks.
Perfect! I do remember my mother mentioning my father giving her a promise ring for her birthday one year.
"Yes! I can't believe you remember that. It was a little over 20 years ago." I exclaim.
"And the other ring?" she questions.
Shit. I didn't remember about my wedding ring. It's never about the wedding ring, it's always about the engagement ring.
"It was a gift from a friend," I tell her, which is true because Ian is a friend, he just happens to be my husband too.
"Oh, I see," Nudge says.
We end up buying about three-thousand dollars worth of clothing from the one little boutique. Of course the teal evening dress cost a good fraction of the total.
"Why did we get an evening dress? I ask.
"Because Nudge lied when she said that Gazzy is coming over for dinner. We're really going out to dinner." Angel says as we pull into the driveway.
"Why do I need a fancy dress for that?" I ask.
"We're going to The Herbfarm." Nudge tells me casually.
"Nudge! You didn't say we were going there. We should go somewhere nicer!" Angel exclaims.
"Angel, it costs like $500 per person. I hardly think that's not nice enough." Nudge laughs.
Their fight over where we should eat dinner continues all the way into the house. They don't say one word to me about dinner. In facto they don't even talk to me until it's time to go.
We get to the restaurant around six. But Gazzy, of course, is running late. He arrives 45 minutes later, with his girlfriend, Jory.
"I think we should order a bottle," Nudge says, while she looks over the menu.
Everybody immediately agrees, except me. I have never drunk before. I'm only 19.
"What do you think?" Nudge asks.
"Oh, um... Yeah, of course," I nod.
"So, it's settled. We're getting the wine," Angel says.
A little while later we order our food. We spend the first hour talking about the good old times we used to have, not like I remember any of them. It goes really well until Jory starts asking questions, and by then I'm drunk.
"So, Max why did you leave the Flock?" she asks.
"That... Is a great question... You should ask Max," I slur.
"I am asking you, Max," Jory tells me.
"Oh, yeah..." I say after thinking hard for a minute,"Fang had sex with her, so Max left."
"Woah," Nudge gasps.
Then all of the sudden Nudge and Gazzy start trying to get answers out of me.
"Shut up!" Angel yells,"Are you drunk, Max?
"A little bit," I tell her groggily, putting my head on her shoulder.
"That's it. I'm taking you home," she tells me as she pulls me to my feet.
"No," I whine.
"Yes," she says,"Nudge I have to take her home, she's embarrassing herself. Can I drive her home?"
" Sure," Nudge tells her, "I'll take a taxi."
Angel drives in silence. When we get home she takes me to my room and puts me on the bed.
"Haven't you ever drank before?" she asks.
"No, too young," I mumble.
"Too young?" she laughs, "You're 36, Max. I really don't think you're too young."
"I'm not Max," I tell her before I fall I to a deep sleep.
The next morning I wake up feeling like shit. All I can do is lay in bed. Until a sudden wave of nausea hits me and I have to run to the bathroom.
When I finish throwing up I brush my teeth and put on some different clothes. Angel didn't even bother changing me before putting me to bed. I continue getting ready until I hear a knock on the bedroom door.
"Come in, I'll be out in a minute" I call.
I walk into the bedroom and see Angel sitting on the bed.
"Hey," she says, "We need to talk, "Max".
I'm in shock. But I do notice the emphasis on the way she says Max.
Okay, that took me like to days to write. For some reason I couldn't put everything together properly. But I did in the end! So please tell what you think! Also the photo thing is still going on. I have tried Flickr, DeviantArt and postingthe photos as the fanfics image. Nothing has worked. Please help! The 3 people who give me a website will get a chapter before I post it or they get to know about something that is going to happen or a secret about a character(THEY CHOOSE). So please help!
