Chapter Twenty-One: Surprise

((Max's POV))

"Max! Max! You gotta wake up!" said a voice that made me instantly know I was still dreaming. It was Angel's voice.

"Yeah! Come on Max! We gotta get ready!" said the Gasman.

I covered my ears, trying not to cry. This was the first time I had dreamt about them since I regained my memory, and it was painful to even hear. "No… please… stop…" I moaned, rolling over under my covers, clamping my eyes shut.

"Max, come on…" said Fang and I felt him kiss my forehead. I then heard all the other kids go, "EWWW!!! Fang!" and him chuckle.

I slowly opened my eyes, to see Fang's face, inches from mine. "Good morning." He breathed, grinning like an idiot.

"What's with the grinning?" I asked.

Fang laughed, and I felt a sudden weight on top of me, and I gasped and rolled over, to see my baby.

"ANGEL!?!?!!?" I screamed, jumping up and latching onto her. It felt like her; it sounded like her; it looked like her; but I knew it couldn't be real. My flock (with the exception of Fang) was gone. I knew I'd never see them again. So, why…?

"Fang! Wake me up! Why am I hallucinating in my sleep? Am I still dreaming?" I cried, pulling my fists to my head, clamping my eyes shut and jumping up and down.

I heard him laugh again, and I felt someone hug me around my middle.

""Max? Do you not remember me?" I heard Angel say sadly.

I opened my eyes and looked down at her. "Of course I remember you, Angel," I gasped. "How could I not? But you're gone, and I'm dreaming…" I was fighting back tears. Why were my dreams torturing me this way?

Then, Fang was next to me. Angle let go, and I opened my eyes, and Fang kissed me. He kissed me with a burning intensity – like he was trying to tell me something. When he stopped, I was gasping, and so was he.

"Could I do that in a dream?"

"Yes, but not like that…" I said.

All the flock was looking at me, then Fang, then me again, eyes wide and mouths open.

"So, this, isn't as dream? They're back?" I cried. "But – how?"

"Vivian found us and gave us our memories back. And with the help of our clones, we'll be the way we were soon. Just like you will." Nudge said, which was one of the shortest sentences any of us had ever heard her say.

"How did she -?" I began.

"He had an antidote to the serum that the whitecoats had given us. After some explanations, and showing us our clones, we all agreed, and she brought us here – yesterday." Said Iggy. "But, obviously, I couldn't see my clone, but whatever."

I laughed, tears coming to my eyes. I began to cry, and Angel, Nudge, the Gasman, and even Iggy, came over and gave me a big bear hug – trying to make me feel better.

Then, there was a knock on the door, and Squall and Len entered, with Vivian behind.

"Are you surprised Max?" she asked with a smile.

"Yes, very. I thought I'd never see them again."

"I'm glad I could help." She said. "Now, Max, we're ready for you. The operation's ready."

"N-now?" I stuttered.

"No, in just a couple of hours. But we need you down in the lab soon." Vivian replied, her face smiling. Then, it became concerned – my face had fallen into a pit of uneasiness.

"Max?" Fang asked.

"I'm fine…. Just, nervous, that's all." I replied, quietly.

"I'll be there with you, the entire time, okay?" he whispered in my ear, but Vivian heard him.

"I'm sorry Fang. But it will be a total sterilized room – nothing may go wrong and nothing can infect her while she's being changed back – or she'll die. It's risky, but I'm positive that nothing will happen, but – just to be safe, you'll have to wait here."

"Don't worry Fang!" said Angel. "We'll stay with you. We're being changed after Max."

Fang looked intently at me, to make sure that I was okay.

I sighed. "Can he wait with me 'till I go in?"

Vivian gave a small smile. "Yes, I think that's okay."

"Now, come with me Max, Fang. This will all be over before you know it."
