The Plan.
Max P.O.V.~
Time to make some mischief. "Even better. We're going to show this place who's boss, and though we've probably been here the least, we're going to be the first ones out. I think it's time we break out, don't you think?"
"That would be amazing!" Angel yipped, jumping up and down with happiness. She ran over and hugged Gazzy before planting a slobbery kiss on his cheek. Gazzy simply smiled at his younger sister.
"Awww... sweet!" Nudge commented, clasping her hands together. Her eyes focused on something far away as she left reality and entered an alternate universe.
Iggy rolled his eyes. "Girls," he muttered before snapping his fingers and jerking Nudge back to reality. She jumped and turned around to punch Iggy. Iggy, however, expected this and ducked at the last minute. "Ha!" He yelled triumphantly.
"Whatever," Nudge murmured. "So what are we going to do?" She asked turning back to me.
"What do you think? We are going to have some fun! Okay, any suggestions?" I prompted.
"Well, I'm leaning towards a giant paintball fight where everyone gets covered in goop including that awkward Batchelder guy, but since there is no paint, how about a Meatloaf Mania Monday... If we ever figure out when the next Monday is," Iggy suggested.
I have to admit. That sounded pretty raw and for those of you who aren't updated on the century's lingo, raw is slang for amazing. And yes, Meatloaf Mania Monday sounded pretty amazing.
"All we need is a couple hundred pounds of meatloaf and a calendar."
"Actually," I clarified, "all we need is a couple pounds of meatloaf and yes, a calendar would be helpful."
Once again, 5 pairs of eyes turned shockingly toward me as if I had suddenly grown antlers out of my head or maybe even a tail. Before continuing, I swiped my hand across the top of my head and my rear end to make sure my fantasy didn't come true. I mean, getting stuck in a jail cell with the hottest guy ever was pretty surreal too. However, I failed to notice Fang's eyes following my arms as I searched for the imaginary tail that could have grown.
"If we throw meatloaf at an unsuspecting person and then frame someone else by diverting attention to them, the person covered in meatloaf would attack them and maybe miss which in turn leads to a different person getting splattered with meatloaf. It's a chain reaction." I smiled smugly after completing my explanation.
Fang nodded. "My cellmate is an evil genius. Let's get started."
Angel and Gazzy giggled at that statement and shared a inconspicuous glance. "I know how to get the calendar," Angel stated timidly after tearing her gaze away from Gazzy's eyes.
"And how would you do that, sweetie?" Nudge asked gently. Hmm... looks like she's not all that tough either.
"I just need someone to yell really loud and get a guard to come down here. I'd rather not bring Ari down here because he seems pretty strong minded, but any other guard would do."
Iggy stepped forward smirking, "Excuse me ladies, but this would be my area of specialties." He cleared his throat before yelling, "I LIKES HAVING SEX WITH LLAMAS! OH, AND ONE OF THE PRISONERS IS ESCAPING!"
"Iggy!" I reprimanded, "There are children here. WATCH YOUR FUCKING LANGUAGE."
"It still worked though, didn't it," he said. Sure enough, the loud pattering sound of footsteps falling filled the hallway before 3 bulky guards entered the room, each carrying a large gun and a their taser in their belts.
"Where is the prisoner?!" The lead guard asked growling and shoving his taser forward.
"Oh, that. Well, you see. There was an ant inside our cell, therefore he would be a prisoner. Just a couple seconds ago, it walked out which technically means it's escaping, you see. If you look closely on the floor somewhere, you should be able to find it," Iggy stated.
The guard looked furious. His face turned an ugly shade of red, and his breaths came in ragged gulps. "That's what you called us down for?"
"No, I said I like having sex with llamas and that little girl down in the furthest cell has a question for you."
"Well, llama boy, this question better be worth my time, or I will be using that wonderful shock collar around your neck," the guard threatened.
"Oh, don't worry. It will be. Angel, you're up."
"Sir, can I please have a calendar?" She asked sweetly, her voice oozing with false sweetness so masterfully covered, it was hardly detectable. To quicken things up, she added bambi eyes. The most adorable, largest, bluest bambi eyes I had ever seen.
I tore my gaze away from her angelic face and forced my self to turn to the guard. Compared to Angel's onslaught of adorableness, the guard was a hideous beast. However, as he looked at Angel, his eyes melted and his face softened. He quirked his lips upwards in a smile before replying, "Of course, sweetie. How could I refuse?"
Dazed and disoriented, he walked out, the remaining 2 guards staring after him in confusion. The guard returned a few seconds later holding a brand new calendar in his hands. "Here you go."
"Thank you, sir. Thank you very much." Angel smiled sweetly up at the guards before the 3 of them strutted out, clearly puzzled about what had just happened.
"Um. Angel. It's great that we have a calendar and all, but do you know what day it is?" Gazzy asked his younger sibling.
"Oh, yeah. That could be a problem."
"Anyways, back to our scheming..." I interrupted.
12 minutes, 52 seconds, and 13 milliseconds later:
"Done! Finally! So when our we planning on doing this? How about tomorrow? Tomorrow sounds fine, doesn't it? Yeah, I think we should do this tomorrow. Oh, I can't wait to see everyone's faces when we start our plan!"
"Nudge, calm down. We'll do it tomorrow. Agreed?"
Five voices sounded. "Agreed."
"Good. For now, we wait," I said. "Goodnight, all."
I crawled back into Fang's and my cell and plopped onto the bottom bunk, curling myself into a little ball. Fang came at sat beside me while rubbing my back gently. His hands moved into little circles relieving the cramped muscles.
"You're a natural leader, Max," he whispered softly into my ears. "And I find that sexy."
I blushed. He bent down slowly and placed his lips upon mine. I felt the warmth radiating into me and tingles erupted within my body. You know the tingles that make your toes curl, your body shiver even when its not cold, and your heart pound. Yeah, those tingles. God, I sound like a sap.
Fang pressed his lips even tighter against mine before bringing his hand up and tangling it in my hair. I kissed back with equal abandon, my hands resting on the sides of his face, caressing his cheeks.
"Ahem. If you two are done with you intent lovemaking, I would like to go to sleep. I can hear your hearts pounding and the saliva being swapped all the way from here. And please, Fang, you know bro code. Bros before hos. Not that Max is a ho or anything, but why would you go after her if you knew I liked her."
"Very funny, Iggy." I said shyly, breaking away from Fang. I felt him pull back. "Maybe because he actually has a chance, and I'm living with him for the next however many years, months, weeks, or days."
"Logic makes no sense," Iggy decided stubbornly before turning away and heading back to bed.
Tomorrow came too quickly for my liking. I would have loved to spend another 24 hours in bed, but alas, tis not to be so. I stretched out my arms, a sudden smile adorning my face. Today was the day.
I jumped out of bed and climbed to the top bunk. "FANG. Get your sexy ass out of bed and get ready!" I yelled.
"Jeezus, Max," he said while rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. Unshaven, messy haired Fang that has just woken out bed is one amazing beast. I planted a light kiss on his lips and ran to the cell door.
"Iggy! Nudge! Angel! Gazzy! Wake up! Today's the day we be attackin'," I screamed at them. I was surprisingly very awake for morning time. I'm usually not a morning person, in case you couldn't tell.
"Dammit, Max. I'm trying to get my beauty sleep," Nudge groaned.
"Shit, Max! You should have let Nudge get her beauty sleep. She looks like a monster! Her hair is all tangled and..." he shuddered before trailing off. "OW!"
And that was the wonderful sound of Nudge smacking Iggy upside the head. I giggled, unusually.
Less then 20 minutes later, two adorable babies, a nearly tamed haired Nudge, a red faced Iggy that constantly rubbed the back of his head, a beautiful man, and little ole' me were collected and taken to breakfast... or maybe lunch? Oh, and the most amazing thing: My wheel chair was left in the dusty little corner of our cell. I wake up this morning and tada! I'm magically healed; good as new.
I shuffled behind our guards keeping my head low and staring at my bare feet while trying to keep the smile off my face. It didn't work.
"HEY. Why are you smiling? Finally realized how silly your face is?" Ari snarled while creeping up behind me. I didn't jump or even react; I just kept walking. Interesting fact about moi, Maximum Ride: I don't get scared. Not a single little thing. Never have been scared, and that's why I find haunted houses stupid and males who take their girlfriends to haunted houses even stupider.
Apparently, Ari didn't appreciate my silence, "Answer me, you little punk. Don't think I won't hesitate to use your collar." Yeah, the downside to leaving my wheelchair behind also meant I got my collar back. Whoop dee dee dah.
"I'm just really looking forward to that DELICIOUS cafeteria food we're just about to have. We've been here longer than a month I'm sure, and we've had the same thing everyday! And I'm not sick of it yet. Can you believe that? Oh, and by the way, I might need to tell you this so that your tiny brain can understand: all I said before, was sarcasm!" I retorted, adding a little snort in there for the heck of it.
"You little bitch. I hope you like your stay in prison because I'm going to make your life hell."
"You said that last time... I think. See your ugly face is making me lose my memory. Whatever, anyways. It's not as if could get any worse."
"You'll be surprised," Ari said with an evil grin adorning his features. He bent down, his hot breath steaming over my ear. I shivered in disgust, "Princess, things can always get a lot worse."
"Ah. Now get your creepy pedophile face away from my head," I screamed.
"Sure thing, Princess. Just remember what I said."
I snuck a glance at Fang. His face was red and fuming. He looked as if he wanted to kill something and that something was most likely going to be Ari. Aww... poor Mr. Bone. Looks like he won't be getting a girlfriend anytime soon. I mean, Fang's a trained assassin. A very hot trained assassin. Who's staring right at me.
I smiled at him and gave a small wave before sticking a finger in my open mouth and feigning a gag. He chuckled at this along with Iggy, Nudge, Angel, and Gazzy.
I cannot wait. We walked down the empty white corridors for more minutes. Every passage we turned into looked exactly the same as the previous one. I knew there were doors behind the whitewashed walls, some even leading to more holding cells with more captive prisoners, but I couldn't see anything but white. There was a time when white used to be my favorite color, but now, I'm just sick of it. I could do with some orange.
"Ari. Can you paint the walls orange?" My five prison mates stared at me confused, and Ari just rolled his eyes.
"No. Now shut your trap. We're here. You know the drill. Got 10 minutes to eat then get the hell out so I can take you back to your cells."
Ari pushed open a pair of doors that miraculously appeared in the blank walls before shoving us inside. The fifty or so other inmate turned towards us scanning us once over as they did everyday before returning to their meal. I swear, this prison ran like clockwork. Everything the exact same, every single day after every single day. And it was time to change it up.
I nodded at Gazzy who in turn, nodded back. Iggy came up behind me and I whispered, "You know what to do. You're the sneak. Throw a glop at the meanest looking person you see." Turning to Fang, I continued, "You got your part too, don't you Fangy boy?"
He smirked, and all to sexily added, "Of course, Mommy."
I walked over to the buffet overflowing with varieties of food. Meatloaf a la mode, meatloaf a la carte, meatloaf on a bun minus the bun, and meatloaf sundaes. One can never have enough meatloaf.
Slowly, I piled my plate up with as much as it could carry, and walked steadily towards our empty table at the back. It had officially become our table ever since we sat there the first time. I made sure not to trip while snicker erupted around me, "That's a lot of meatloaf Ride. Your dragrag emo boyfriend get you pregnant?"
"Ha, at least I got laid before you. The only people you've ever slept with are your teddy bear and your mommy," I was about to slip past the man, a smug smile on my face, when I 'accidentally' tripped on my untied shoelace. The meatloaf from my tray flew through the air and landed right smack on his face and began to drip down into his jumper. "Oops."
"Oh, now you're going to get it!" He grabbed a handful of meatloaf hanging on the side of his face and flung it at me. I ducked at the last minute while watching the meatloaf hit Fang. Everything was according to plan, and I laughed at Fang's dramatic acting.
"What the fuck was that for, bastard! I'm going to cut you into little pieces and feed you to the dogs you little fucker!" Fang grabbed the meatloaf in his plate and threw it but missed... on purpose of course. Instead it hit the tattooed woman sitting behind Mr. I'veonlysleptwithmyteddybearan dmymommy. I turned just in time to see Iggy fling his meatloaf at an unsuspecting yet very threatening man and then duck behind a chair, hiding out of view.
"HEY! Who threw that?" Tattooed woman and Igyy's target screamed at the same time. Fang and I automatically pointed to Mr. I'veonlysleptwithmyteddybearan dmymommy, his eyes narrowing and glaring at us before he once again got pelted with meatloaf. I silently crept away, Fang hot on my tail.
I sniggered. "I can't believe we actually did that!" We watched as the meatloaf flew across the cafeteria. Then Angel came in with a guard, pointing at Mr. I'veonlysleptwithmyteddybearan dmymommy.
Immediately, the guard rushed over and pressed the button on his remote. Mr. Ioswmtbamm, because I'm too lazy to say his whole name, instantly fell to the floor writhing in pain. Gazzy, Iggy, Nudge, and Angel all ran over to where Fang and I hid in the corner with faux shock and surprise plastered on our face.
"Guards! Please arrest Maximum Ride and bring her to my office. Once again, bring Maximum Ride to me." An mysterious voice announced. Never knew they had a loud speaker here. Well, looks like I'm busted.
I smiled as the guards ran over and pinned my arms behind my back, shoving me out of the room. I turned back to my group and winked, still smiling. Little did I know. Ari was right, and I so never thought I would ever say that. Things were only going to get a lot worse.
