Chapter 25: Max's Birthday? Preparations.

Fang's POV

Dinner was amazing. Afterwards we went and chilled in separate rooms. I somehow managed to convince Charity to get all the other kids to go watch 'Forrest Gump' in the girl's room. They left me and Max alone to watch this sappy movie called 'The Pursuit of Happyness.' They spelled happiness wrong. It was okay, and I TOTALLY didn't end up almost crying. Seriously, there was something in my eye. Anyway, I ordered us dessert, baked Alaska, and we sat on the bed and watched this movie with Will Smith in it. It was pretty good and the ending was good. When Max fell asleep in my arms during the last 10 minutes was my favorite part, though. I fell asleep shortly after her and later that night my head slipped down onto hers.

Max's POV

After watching 'The Pursuit of Happyness,' I fell asleep on Fang. Later I woke up, and his head was on top of mine and his arm was still wrapped around my shoulders. Charity was sound asleep in the bed next to us. I tried to move without waking up Fang, but getting under the covers without him moving was virtually impossible.

"Fang, you have to move. I need to get under the blankets." I told him, slipping out from under his arm. He nodded and moved just enough so that we could both scoot under. I fell asleep again.

Angel's POV

Nudge, Abbey and I fell asleep around 3:00 a.m. Total was asleep long before that. We sat up all night talking. And nobody knew this but me, Nudge and Abbey, but I could still read Max and Fang's mind. Jeb didn't think I was that strong, but he was wrong. I couldn't read it the other night, but after she had those nightmares, I could break into both of their minds without me knowing.

"Guys, right now, Fang is dreaming of the time that he and Max split us up. He is doing it differently this time, though." I sent them the vision through their heads and we watched in silence as instead of saying that they should 'take a break' or whatever they were kissing! It was nice, though, I mean everybody knew they were supposed to be together. They finally were. Abbey and I fell into a fit of hysterics. Nudge silently watched the dream over and over.

"Aww, I think it's sweet that he loves her so much. Don't you 2?" She asked once we were done laughing. I nodded. Total stirred on my lap but fell asleep again quickly.

I just realized, Max's birthday is in 2 days!

Iggy's POV

Fang and Max were finally together. When Fang asked me to rent a sappy movie and one that the kids and I could watch together I agreed. Those 2 lovebirds needed a night alone, anyways. I couldn't see them, but I knew they must be the cutest couple that ever lived. Geez, I sound like Nudge or something. I can blow up a whole lab, no problem. But, when it came down to those 2, I was mush!

I finally decided on the perfect movie for all of us. I knew the kids would love 'Forrest Gump,' who doesn't? And those 2 needed a sappier movie.

Later though, it had hit me that Max's birthday was in 2 days! I wondered what Fang was going to get her. Probably an engagement ring, he loved her so much. I don't think Max understands how much Fang really cares about her. When those idiots split us up, he was torn in half, even if it was his fault.

Charity's POV

I totally agreed to let Fang and Max have a night to them selves. Plus, I wouldn't tell anybody in the flock, but I think Iggy is kid of cute. I wouldn't even tell me mute brother that.

"Hey, Charity, can I talk to you in private for a second?" Iggy had asked me earlier that day. I nodded and followed him to the corner of the room, where only Angel or Abbey could have heard us.

"Okay, well here it goes. Fang and Max think it might be a possibility that you have an older sister," I gave Iggy a questioning look, "Max. You guys look a lot alike, and Rayne looks like her too or so I've been told. And you both look like Max's sister, Ella, well, that's what Fang said. I shouldn't be telling you, but I thought you'd like to know." I stared at him blankly and then it started to sink in.

"Oh my God. Don't mention it to Rayne? Please? If it's true I want to be the one to tell him." I said, standing up to go. He nodded and I went to watch the movie. I think Iggy said it was Max's birthday in 2 days.

Gazzy's POV

Those 2 mush balls. No, not Fang and Max. Angel told me earlier that Iggy likes Charity. Charity likes Iggy, too. They would be a cute couple.

Max and Fang are cute too, though. Fax and Chiggy. I like Chiggy. That's a good word. Snap, I just realized, Max's birthday is in 2 days.

Total's POV

I had to watch 'Forrest Gump' with all the kids. As if those 2 are going to get over PG13. They only think of the flock. I mean they only do what's best for the flock. That's good, I guess, but they should start doing stuff for themselves. I bet that he'll get her something nice for her birthday.

Fang's POV

I woke up the next morning with one thought on my mind. Shit, Max's birthday is tomorrow. What should I get her?

Jeb, any ideas for Max's birthday? I didn't expect an answer since my mind wasn't any weaker.

Check your pocket and go get a necklace. Surprise! I dug my hands into all of my pockets and in my front one I found $100.00! I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen from the desk and scribbled a note in it.

Max,

Went out to store. Do NOT come looking for me. I'll be back soon, I swear. Please, seriously, okay?

Love you tons,

Fang.

There, I grabbed her atlas and walked silently out the door. I stepped onto the busy street and looked for a near by Target or Walmart. There was 1 not far from where I was so I headed in that direction.

Walking into the Target, I realized I should have brought Angel, Nudge, Charity, or even Abbey along with me. I walked up to the jewelry counter.

"Hi, I'm looking for a present for my girlfriend. Is there anything, like, special I should buy her?" I asked the woman at the counter. She looked at me and nodded.

"Well, it depends. What's your budget?" she asked me.

"$100. What can I buy, that's nice, with that?" I asked, looking at the necklaces and things behind the counter. There were a lot of nice earrings and stuff, but Max's holes got infected about a month ago.

"Does she have her ears pierced?" The lady asked me and I shook my head.

"How about this? How much is it?" I had seen it. It was silver with wings on the charm. The wings were connected to a heart filled with little crystals. The chain was long ad little links connected by something I later found out was called a crab clasp.

"This is only $70.00. We can also put the charm on a different chain, for no extra charge, if you want." She said and opened the cabinet. She pulled it out and handed it to me. I took it and decided that that's what I'd get my girl.

"It's perfect. I'll take it." I said handing her the $100 bill. She took it and the necklace and put that into a dark maroon case. She handed me and my change back and I strolled out feeling quite accomplished.

Then I was thinking and I realized Max was going to kill me for not waiting until she woke up to leave, but I'd have to face her wrath. Oh well, I barged into our hotel room to find the whole flock all crammed into our room. Max glared at me and I sighed.

"Can I talk to you, in private, for a second?" She asked showing me the door. It looked like she had been crying. I nodded.

"Where were you? I thought you ran away again! You had me worried sick." She told me and I tried to hug her. She pushed me away.

"Max, I'm sorry. I was going to wait until tomorrow, but if I have to I'll show you now. And evidently, that note I left didn't help at all?" I said getting ready to pull her necklace out of my pocket, she shook her head.

"I believed you, but I just got worried. I woke up and hour and a half ago and you weren't there." Wow, I didn't realize I was gone so long.

"I'm sorry, you'll find out tomorrow, though." I said opening my arms for a hug and make up/out. To my happiness, she let me wrap my arms around her and kissed me.

"Max, you remembered that tomorrows your birthday?" I asked and she shook her head, "How can you forget? You're going to love what I got you." Max smiled and kissed me again. Then she led the way back into the room and we found the whole flock (except Iggy) staring at us.

"You guys are sp cute together." Ari commented as they all (Except Charity) left our room. Charity giggled and went to run the bath water.

Max's POV

I was still a little angry that Fang left, but at least he came back this time. But, he remembered my birthday before I did, so I forgave him.

Max tomorrow, you'll be 15.

I know Jeb, I'm not retarded. That's sort of what a birthday is.

No, Max, you're not catching my drift. Tomorrow is the actual day were born, not just a self-chosen day.

So, I picked the right day when I was like 10?

Yea, well, maybe you have a touch of physic ability, like your mom.

Dr. Martinez? She's physic? And I inherited it from her? This isn't some School-given gift? Wow, nice change.

Yes.

Sweet. I wonder what Fang got me.

Fang's POV

"Nudge, come here. I want to show you what I got Max," I pulled out the suede case and nudge gasped, "Do you think she'll like it?" I asked when I opened it. Nudge nodded.

Fang, Max is going to LOVE that. Me and the kids all made her something. I've been using you digital and we've been putting pictures together all day in an album. It's really nice. I hope she likes it. We worked really hard on it. We printed all the pictures on the computer in our room. Do you think she'll like it?" Nudge asked me so hopefully that I would have said yes even if I was lying, which I wasn't.

"Yea that's perfect. She'll love it. I was thinking, maybe we could order breakfast and bring it to her in bed." I suggested, Angel came over and nodded eagerly.

"Okay, so we all have to wake up early. Ange, send the thought to the whole flock, okay?" I said and she nodded then out on a look of concentration.

I nodded and walked back into our room to update the blog.

Max's POV

I was really excited to find what those crazy flock members of mine were planning for tomorrow. I knew something was up because every time I came into a room, they all shut up. And they spent all of their time in Angel's room, eating, or sleeping. What was up with them? Oh well, I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

LONGEST CHAPTER SO FAR! The story part is 2,002 words! YAY! Okay, I'll try and update tomorrow, but no promises. TTYL!
