Thank you the people who had voted at the poll! It was a tie between Three Days Grace and Nickelback...so I chose Nickelback. Why? I have no idea. Sorry for those who voted for Three Days Grace! But the band isn't actually the importaint part.
Disclaimer: I don't own Nickelback or any of their songs or concerts or concert dates. I also don't own Maximum Ride...I DO own copys of Supernatural seasons 1-4 on DVD.
Max's POV
There was a knock on the door. Max got up from the couch to answer it, to find that it was Emily.
"Hey, come in" Max smiled.
"Thanks" Emily grinned as she stepped in the house and into the living room.
"Hey, Iggy?"
"Yeah?" He asked from the kitshen table. He was building another bomb with Gazzy. A normal pass-time in that house.
"I have to cancle our dinner plans. My princable called me, she said that I needed to be at her office."
"Your princable?" Max said in confusion.
"Oh, I go to a private school, and we don't get off on vacation untill July 13th." She said. "I'll get out in two weaks."
"Oh, okay. How about Friday?" Iggy asked, trying to attatch a blue wire to a red one.
"Sounds good. I have to go now, or I'll be late. Bye." She waved at the room at large and left their house.
"I would hate going to school in June. You'll have to drag me there." Gazzy said.
"We have to drag you out of bed just so you can have breakfast." Max contradicted.
"Yeah, but if you tried to get me to go to school in the summer, you're going to need to fork-lift me out of my bed."
"Hello?" Max answered the ringing phone.
"Hey, It's Emily." said the girl.
"Oh hi-IGGY!" Max held the phone away from her mouth so not to blow Emily's eardrums out.
"WHAT?" He yelled back from his room.
"TALK TO YOUR GIRLFRIEND!" She yelled. "He's coming." She said to Emily, a little bit nicer.
Emily was laughing a litle bit. "Yeah, okay."
Iggy was comming down the stairs when he tripped on the last step. He yelled out a cuss word as he fell.
"Hey, Iggy." Max said, cheerfully.
"Stupid step..." Max handed him the phone and went into the kitchen for an apple.
Fang came in, looking over his shoulder at Iggy.
"Did he fall?" He asked, with slight humor in his voice. Max, who just took a big bite of an apple, nodded. Fang snickered.
"Fang, Max!" Iggy called.
Fang and Max walked into the living room. Iggy must have heard their foot steps, for he adressed to them. "Want to go the a Nickelback concert?"
"You got tickets?" Fang asked.
"No, Emily does. She got perfect grades and attendence and no detentions so they awarded her with concert tickets of her choice. It's a thing her school does. She asked if we wanted to go with her-"
"NICKELBACK?" Yelled Max excitedly. "Uh-uh, I mean-yeah, that sounds great." She tried to compose herself. Sure, they were one of her favorite bands, but she wasn't going to go all fangirl-crazy. Fang snickered and Max punched him on the shoulder.
"Fang?" Iggy asked.
"It's fine with me." He shrugged, but Max knew he was more excited then he let on.
"They said 'yeah'...Cool, see you Thursday." Iggy said before he hunged up.
"Cool." Max said, although she was secretly freaking out.
"No, Nudge!" Max said sternly. Nudge, Angel, and Max were in Max's room, Nudge and Angel looking though her closet.
"Yes, Max!" Nudge said in the same tone.
"I'm not going to dress up for this!" The very thought of it was horrible...expecially the thought of a six-year-old dressing her.
"I'm not going to pick out ugly clothes." Said Angel.
"Ugh, you have nothing worth wearing...except for this jacket, but it doesn't go with anything. Wait here, I'm going to give you some of my clothes." Nudge said.
"Nudge-" Max started, but Nudge was already in her room, picking out what were sure to be distgusting articals of clothing...
"Angel-"
"Please, Max" Angel said, with bambi eyes and her bottom lip stinking out a little bit...so..hard..to refuse...
"Ugh...fine."
"Yay!" She said, clapping her hands. Angel was too adorable for her own good.
"I'm back," Nudge said, with her arms full of clothes. Max was slightly relieved to see that the colors were mostly blues, greens, grays and blacks. But there was also a purple one...
"I took your opinions into constideration," Said Nudge, "Although I have this cute lavender dress that would look great with your eyes. Oh, and a purple skirt that would look great with one of these shirts, but it's more fancy then the shirt, so it'll also look kind of strange..."
"Nudge, can we ge this over with?"
"If you lighten up your mood a little bit."
Max faked a smile that seemed to be good enough for Nudge. Angel pushed her to the mirror that hangs on the inside of her closet door, and Nudge started to put outfits together and showing them to Max.
First it was a frilly gray top and white skinny jeans. "No."
A black shirt with purple skinny jeans. "They make purple skinny jeans?"
"Yeah,"
"No."
This went on for a long time, and Nudge had yet to find an outfit that Max wouldn't mind being seen in public in.
"What about this?"
It was a black shirt and simple dark blue jeans...Max was suprised Nudge picked them out. The only detail on them was that the jeans were a little bit ripped up at the knees.
"That's fine." Max said. Nudge sighed in relief and handed her the clothes so she could change.
"And, we're doing your hair."
"What? You said you're only going to pick out my clothes!"
"No, I said we're going to help you get ready, now sit and I'll also do your make up."
Max sat down on her bed, muttering about how she hates make up.
"You know," Nudge said, brushing Max's hair, "A real girl dresses up in decent clothes and is always neat-"
"I've been alive for sixteen years and I'm just now discovering that I might be a man?" Max said, pretending shock.
Nudge laughed.
"You know, Max," Nudge said "You're hair is actually fine right now, just needed a few hair pins." Nudge moved off the nad so she could do Max's make-up.
"Close your eyes, it's eye shadow."
Max unwillingly closed her eyes. She opened her eyes just a little bit, and saw the shadow on the brush...
"Is that pink?" Yelled Max, grabbing Nudges wrist.
"Relax, or I'll poke you in the eye. Don't worry, it'll look natural." Nudge said with a bit of laughter in her voice.
Max closed her eyes again, praying she won't look girly.
A few minutes later (felt like hours for Max), they were done.
"You look so good! One second, I'll get your shoes!" Nudge said, running to her room. Max stood up and turned to the mirror...she actually didn't look bad. It looked natural and light, and Max hardly felt it. The ending result actually wasn't to bad.
"I got the shoes," Nudge walked in holding closed toed, black high heels.
"Nudge!" Max whined.
"I could have gotten the pink ones!" Nudge threatened.
Grumbling, Max took the high heels and put them on her feet. She rose up about four inches. This felt really odd...
"You look so good!"
"Umm...thank, Nudge..."
"Well, it's six. You should go know. I don't know why you're going. I never liked rock. I like Pop or Dance better-" Max and Angel left the room, Max's ankle bending sideways once. It didn't really hurt, just startled Max...what would Fang think of her wearing heels and make up?
As she walked down stairs, she almost tripped, but caught hold of the railing before she fell on her face.
Fang was in the living room with Iggy. He looked up, his eyes showing shock as he saw her make-up and heels. A half-smile spred on his face-not a smirk- and he said "You look nice."
Max raised her eys brows and smiled a little bit, pretending to look insulted. "Just 'Nice'? I went though all that torture for a 'nice'?"
"Obviously." Fang joked. Max smirked at him.
"Jerk"
"Max, relax, Fang thinks you look pretty!" Angel said, reading Fang's mind. "But he hinks you look better without make up."
There was a knock on the door and Max stumbled over to answer it. Emily was wearing a dark green shirt and black skirt and converse shoes...Max looked more dressed up then she did. That's great. Emily was girlier then she was, too!
"Max, you look great!" Emily said as her eyes widened.
"Umm, thanks. Nudge dressed me up against my will." Max said. Emily laughed.
"Are you guys ready?"
"Yeah. Guy's let's go!" Max turned her head to call Iggy and Fang over.
They walked to Emily's car and they drove downtown to the concert hall. Iggy was in the front with Emily (who's drivng) and Fang and Max were in the back. The car was nice, it looked new...Emily didn't act like it, but Max thought that her family might be rich.
"Max, Iggy told me you screamed when you found out it was Nickelback playing." Emily smirked.
"...I didn't scream..." Max said. "Iggy, you can't see it but I'm glaring at you." Emily laughed, and so did Iggy.
"I bet Fang was fangirl-ing in the inside." Iggy joked, and Emily laughed even harder...she laughes a lot.
"Yes, my heart was all a-flutter." Fang said sarcasictly.
"Yeah, He was singing 'Rockstar' this morning." Max joked. It was totaly a joke. Fang never sings...in public.
"Max was singing 'Burn it Down' yesterday." Fang said. Instead of being insulted, she laughed and turned slighly pink.
They reached the concert hall thirty minutes later. People were crowding around the ticket stand, but they already had their tickets, so they didn't have to wait long.
"You want a soda?" He asked Emily.
"No thanks, what if I had to pee in the middle of the concert?" Emily said. She looked innocent, but she was actually really gross.
They walked through a crowd of people going to the concert. The place was filled and warm. Max wished her shirt had short sleeves other then long sleeves. Fang took of his black sweat shirt off (which Max didn't know whay he decided to wear that...it's summer. He probably decided to wear whatever he pulled out of his closet first), showing a simple Tee-shirt...which was black. Big suprised there.
They finally got through the crowd of people and went to the right concert room. It was huge. There were speakers and ampifiers every where and can lights on the ceiling.
They moved though the crowd to the fifth row. Emily's school must really love her, because these were fantasic seats. You can see the stage clearily.
They sat down as the room began filling up with people. Next to Max, a stuck up-looking teenage girl was looking at Fang with interest. Again, jealousy flooded Max, enough to tapped Fang on the shoulder and gave him a big kiss. It suprised him, but he kissed back.
Max heard the girl let out a shrp breath and turned away. Rich girl. Not like Emily at all, but like she's used to getting everything her way.
Max released Fang from the kiss as the the room started to get darker. People started to stand up, and smoke started to fill the place. People started cheering and screaming as they band play the first notes on their guitars.
Uncle sam taught him to shoot maybe a little to well
Finger on the Trigger
Loaded Bullet
He hit the stage so full of rage
And let the whole world know it
The atmosphere around Max must have affected her, because she started cheering and screaming. Fang watched her from the cornor of his eye with a smirk. He was the only one not freaking out.
A few miutes later, they were playing "Rockstar". It didn't have the greatest message, but it's so good!
Then they played Max's favorite song from them, "Savin' Me"..she actually started to sing along...she was glad no one could hear her.
Fang's POV
Fang looked over at Max...was she singing? Maximum Ride. Wearing make up and heels. And singing in public. It looked like she was mouthing the words, but you can tell if some one is mouthing the words and singing.
The song slowed, and they started on a different song.
Time is going by
So much faster then I
And I'm starting to regret not spending it all with you
Max looked at the band with a small smile on her lips, the lights from the stage making the gold strands in her hair shine. Fang-no matter how cheesey it was, no matter how many people were there-turned her around and kissed her softly.
So if I haven't yet
I've gotta let you know
Never gonna be alone
From this moment on
If you ever feel like letting go
I won't let you fall
Max's POV
A couple of hours later, they were on they're way out. She had one song stuck in her head. "Never Gonna be Alone". It suprised her sometimes how much a hopeless romantic Fang could be. She was sure Emily saw them, because when they pulled away, she smiled at them.
"I'm going to throw this away, I'll be right back." Max said to Iggy and Fang, holding up her water bottle (Emily went to the bathroom. She said she had to go during the middle of the concert. Ah, irony).
She walked though the crowd, but got redirected to outside instead to the garbage can. At least there was one out there.
Max got away from the large group of people and went to the recycling bin. She tossed the empty water bottle in, when something had pulled over her eyes, making everything go black.
And, again, I am evil! I'm pretty sure you guys already know what was going to happen...or think you do. You'll see in the next chapter.
Sorry I took so long to update. I just got my Pottermore Welcome Email and was on it all day...I'm a nerd, get over it.
Please reveiw! I love it when you do!
