Wheeeeeeee.

So, I've updated my other two stories, and I realized... WAIT! WHAT ABOUT LAtW?!?!?!

So, here's your update.

I really should be working on finishing this story up. I'm getting closer to the end(:

Not on here, of course. I have forty-one chapters written. I think...

Nope. thirty-eight. My bad.

But still.

Disclaimer: I only own Sean.


MAX'S POV

I looked at Angel who was twirling around Sean's fort absent mindedly. Next thing I knew she was on the ground, face first. "Hey!" She shrieked, thinking someone tripped her. Then she looked down and saw a pile of rocks at her feet and blushed in embarrassment. "Oops," she muttered then pulled herself back up to her feet.

Nudge and Sean had left for a walk a few minutes ago, but unfortunately, I had a feeling they weren't only going to walk. They were really cute as a couple(if they were…), I have to admit that. But when it's time to go, Nudge won't be very happy.

I stood up and went to sit against the back corner of the larger-than-normal cave and sat down, resting my head against the wall. Fang had silently walked over, so quiet I was close to swearing when he pulled me closer, avoiding my injured arm. "How is your arm?" He asked me, toying with the fingers gently.

"In pain," I admitted, not bothering to lie to him. It was throbbing, still. It had been since I woke up in the hotel room.

I snuggled in to Fang, and he wrapped his arm around me. "What are we doing after we get Ella back to your house?" He asked me, knowing that I needed a plan before everyone else started asking me.

I thought really hard, but I couldn't come up with much. "I don't know, but we can't stay there. The Director is after us again, and she has many ways of getting us. But she's not stupid enough to use Ella or Mom as bait if she has no way to let us know they're being held. And if we're on the run, they'll have no way to tell us, so they'll come straight for us."

Fang nodded against my head and sighed. "I wish saving the world were easy." He admitted, and I turned my head to stare at him. "Not that I can't take it. It's just annoying. Whenever you're in danger I kinda get a little protective. I get scared, I guess." I kept staring at him. Then I stretched myself out so I was laying down, and I used Fang's lap as a pillow.

"Hmmm…" I murmured closing my eyes for a few seconds. "Fang the Amazing? Scared? Since when does that occur?" I asked, completely amazed he had said 'I' and 'scared'(without the denying of the fact) in the same sentence.

"Fang the Amazing gets scared ever since Max the Great has been scaring him. Starting with that idiotic move on the beach." He told me, referring to when I almost killed myself, had he not shown up in time. The stupid chip that I'd had removed a while ago hadn't been out at that time, and the Voice was ragging on me. "Speaking of that time on the beach… Where is the voice?" Good 'ol Fang, knowing exactly what I'm thinking.

I shrugged. I didn't mind that the Voice in my head wasn't ragging at me every spare second it could. "Don't know, don't care." I muttered, knowing that wasn't the complete truth. I did care where it was. Without my voice I didn't have anything to rag on in my spare time.

He snorted and I opened my eyes. "You know you care where it went. You may be happy it's gone, but you know you're at least dying to know what happened to it."

I looked at him confused. "How did you know? I didn't have my eyes open, you couldn't have gotten it from them. Was Angel…?" I trailed of, looking towards Angel who was drawing in the dirt.

He sighed. "No, I just know you, Max. You're the kind of person who may be relieved to have something gone, but if you don't know where or why it's gone, you want to know. It's that simple."

"Are you saying I'm simple?" I asked, really confused. Others always told me I was confusing, hard to understand and all that stuff. He'd even said that to me a few times. Heck, he'd called me things from amazing to a pain.

He wrapped me in his arms gently and smirked. "I never said that, I said it's simple. That specific quality of yours. If you weren't curious I'd have to make sure Max II hadn't come back."

I nodded and sighed. Then I realized it was oddly quiet. "Where's Nudge?" I yawned, my eyes closed tightly. I didn't bother opening them again, I was way too tired. I felt him shrug, and I had no reply. I was already half asleep when I had asked. "Fang?" I murmured, forcing myself to speak though I could barely find my mouth.

"Huh?" He sighed, and I felt him look down at me.

"I love you." I told him, and took myself closer to him, the pain in my arm dull from my drowsiness.

"Love you, too." He told me as he kissed my forehead.
