A/N: OH! So this is what fanfiction looks like! I sort of forgot since I haven't updated in so long. Sorry about that! I'll save you my excuse, because it will just waste time.

But if you desperately want to know... Elephants rampaged into my house, crushing into pieces, then, some how, I stumbled onto a teleporter which took me to Africa. After riding around on giraffes all day, the government found me and took me into custody. While locked up in Giraffe Prison (I said government, not African-government. The Giraffe-government found me and locked me up.) I met a friend whose name I'm not allowed to expose. (It was Joe.) I should have known Joe was an alien by his green skin and antennae, but, hey, we've all got our ugly features. Then Joe took me to his home planet by UFO, where I stayed for several months. Finally, the humans came with their rocket ships and all, saving me from the strange society of Plant 51. They took me home and got me back here, safe and sound. Then they fixed up my house to look exactly the same as it was before so I can write the next chapter of this story.

...

Wow. I am so good at coming up with believable excuses.

Now onto the story!

Disclaimer: Despite all of the promises stars, candles and 11:11 lead me to believe, I do not own Maximum Ride nor any of the characters affiliated with Maximum Ride. I do kind of own the prospect of Josh though. Yay.

JPOV

I put my arm around Max as she fell asleep. I smiled, just like old times.

Yes, it's true, for those of you who might have predicted it, my name's not actually Josh. In fact, I don't know what my name is to tell you the truth, but I know what Max has called me for the past fourteen years of my life, and that's Fang. It's true, it's me, Fang. How's it going?

Just to let you know, I never wanted to be here. This is so not what I wanted, but it's what I got. If only I were allowed to tell Max who I was, the man she fell in love with, and how I got here. But I couldn't. Not unless I wanted her to die. But she had to know, or she might eventually die anyways.

Don't do it, Fang, an annoying voice in my head told me, Don't put the savior of the world in danger.

I know, I snarled at it in my mind.

As if this whole "being Josh" thing wasn't torture enough, I had to get some annoying voice in my head to go along with it, telling me what to do and stuff. How did Max ever survive this?

The worst part is, I had to "act". They told me that if I talked more and stopped being so emo (even they call me emo. I AM NOT EMO, OKAY?) then they wouldn't kill the Flock. Not like they could actually do that, but I'd never put them in danger. Ever.

I stroked Max's shimmering hair, loving the way her smile was just lying on her beautiful face.

Then she started to stir, her arms stretching out above her head. She wrapped them around my neck and I felt my breathing start to quicken and my heart start to beat.

Don't say anything, don't do anything, I told myself.

She brought her face up to mine, her eyes still closed and sleepily whispered, "Fang."

She was dreaming of me. She was so adorable!

Wait- I'm a guy. I mean, uh, she was so hot. Yeah, that's it.

Then she kissed me. I closed my eyes and tried to pull away but I missed the taste of her sweet lips, I missed the smell of being so close to her.

So I kissed her back. I kissed her back with everything I had, everything I missed, everything I feared, everything I loved. I felt her fingers runs through my hair, though, it didn't feel the same as it used too since I had different hair now.

Ugly hair.

After several minutes of careful thinking, I pried away from her, one hand on her back, one on the back of her neck, laying her on the couch.

I got up and headed for the kitchen.

It was times to put years of knowing Iggy to work.

Next chapter next year!

But... maybe next week if I get enough reviews?

*wink wink, hint hint, nudge nudge*

So... review! For the sake of Fang.

Who I have currently locked up in my room.

Fang, say something to the people.

Fang: Review.

Me: Good boy. -throws jellybean at-

Fang: -awesomely catches jellybean in mouth-

See, I've got him trained.

So review! Because Fang tells you too!
