HEY! Sorry I haven't updated in a while. We had finals and my mom banned me from updating until they were over. I had started something, but then I had graduation, and entertaining guests, teaching swim lessons, dance recitals. It's very busy. And I've got some shout outs:

harryxginny90210 –u can keep Maggie ;P

Inkblood – I'm not the biggest fan of blood offerings. Especially from lambs. Unless that was the 'Bella' lamb. If so, I'm okay with it then….. Not much of a threat than….

SecretMarauderette – Thanks for reminding me. Max probably WOULD have a quincenera. But, from what I've learned from my sister watching Wizards of Waverly Place, that requires pink. I can't see Max in pink, can you? Plus, if u haven't realized by now, I don't do ANYTHING logically. Like, u cant dye black clothes ANY color.

Okay, then! STORY TIME!

Once upon a time….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/`~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Max's POV

"No," Fang said, shaking his head. "I won't do it." I put my hands on my hips and glared at him.

"And why not? It was your idea to throw me a costume party."

"Yeah," Fang said coolly. "Doesn't mean I had any intention of dressing up." I blinked.

"Nuh-uh!" I snapped. "You are not getting out of this one. If I have to wear this, then you have to wear your costume too." I tugged at the hem of my Tinkerbell costume. The green garment barely reached mid-thigh and was strapless. Plus, it was a tight-fit outfit. How Tinkerbell was a children's icon while dressed like this is beyond me. Ella had pulled my hair into a bun and covered me with glitter. Nudge told me not to be uncomfortable tonight.

"You're not you tonight Max," she had told me. "While you wouldn't be caught dead in this, Tinkerbell would. And that's who you are, Tinkerbell." Shortest speech she has ever given.

"Your party, not mine." He said simply, leaning against the wall. I groaned exasperated, and then I lunged at his legs. I hugged his leg and looked up at his somewhat-shocked, somewhat-amused face.

"Please?" I whined. I resisted the urge to shudder. What have I become? Maximum Ride does NOT get on her hands and knees to beg. But yet here I was, begging. "Just for a little while?" I asked sweetly.

"No. Now get off of me." I glared at him, and then I hugged his leg. The dark denim scratched my face, but I didn't care. I am not losing this fight.

"Aw, come on." I cooed. "Iggy's gonna be wearing his costume."

"Yeah," Fang said, trying to shake me off, "But his costume's normal." He then proceeded to take a step and toppled over onto his face. I managed to quickly detangle myself from his legs and I sat on his back.

"And what is wrong with yours?" I asked.

"You know what is wrong with it," he mumbled into the carpet. He shifted under me and I allowed him to turn over so that I was sitting on his stomach.

"But," I said, looking at him slightly hurt. "I picked it out for you."

He closed his eyes and sighed. He peeked up at me and stared at me for a long moment, before sighing again. "Fine, I'll wear it."

"Promise?" I asked making my eyes larger.

"Promise," he said reluctantly.

"Yes!" I cried. I bent over and kissed him on the forehead before leaping up and running out the door. I swung it open and called "Iggy! He fell for it!" I could hear Ig laughing down the hall as I dashed out of the room, ignoring Fang's swearing. I raced for my room and slammed the door behind me. Ella looked up in surprise.

"What's up with you?" she asked holding out two strings for me to tie around her neck. I quickly knotted them and spun her around to admire her Belle costume. "You didn't answer my question," she chided.

"What's up?" I smiled at her. "Nothing. Tonight's just gonna be a good night."

"So, where is Nick?" Kate asked, readjusting her large top hat. She was dressed as the Mad Hatter. As in Johnny Depp Mad Hatter. She looked pretty awesome. Emily stood next to her, apparently also feeling in the Wonderland mood because she was dressed as the Red Queen. Lauren snickered as Jordan to adjust the strap on her Jasmine costume, which was covered with glitter. Lauren had gone with a simpler costume. She was dressed in a small black dress and strappy gold sandals and a crown made of golden vines on her head. Sarah had covered her face in white makeup and had used red lipstick to draw blood dripping down from her mouth. She had also torn up an old princess costume, making her the perfect zombie princess. Maggie on the other hand had gone for a brighter costume, wearing a pair of jean shorts and a lime green shirt that had Kermit the Frog's face printed on it and a lime green hat to match. They all looked really great. We were all sitting in the living room, waiting for the guys to drag Fang down the stairs. Everyone who had been invited was in the back, chilling out and dancing, while we were inside, waiting for Fang.

We heard struggling in the upstairs hallway and someone came pounding down the stairs.

Iggy had decided to go Men in Black. He wore a black suit, white shirt, black tie. He even had the shades. He stopped at the end of the stair case and opened his arms grandly. "Ladies, I give to you-."

"Um…. Ig?" Maggie said, cautiously. "You're talking to a wall. We're over here."

"Oh," Iggy said blushing deeply and turning to face us. "I give you Nick!" Once again, a struggle could be heard as the boys made their way down the stairs. Adam, unfortunately, blocked our view so we didn't see Fang until they were standing in front of us. I scanned my eyes over the colorfully dressed boys. Adam had apparently dressed to match Kate, for he had dressed as the March Hare. Simon and Emily apparently had the same idea, because guess who was dressed as the King of Hearts? Blake was behind them and had decided to dress as a Trojan soldier. But Fang. Oh, my God Fang. I hadn't expected him to look so…. Hot. I had decided he should be dressed as Superman. And, he pulled of the tights and the red underwear thingy. He saw me staring at his abs that were easily visible and he raised an eyebrow. The girls had gotten over their shock and started laughing.

"Oh, my God!" Kate gasped. "I can't believe Max convinced you to wear that!"

"I thought you didn't wear tights?" Lauren scoffed, reminding him of their argument back at our sleepover so many weeks ago.

"Shut up." He muttered. He looked at me then leaned towards Adam. "Remind me to never let her pick out my costume again."

"It's only fair," he said. "considering you picked out her's." Haha. Wait, what?

"What?" I snapped leaping from my seat. "You told me that Ella bought it for me."

"She did." He said coolly. "I picked it out, she paid."

"And so will you." I growled, making my way towards him. "You know how I feel about this kind of stuff, Nick." I growled, pushing him back against the wall.

"And?" he said slyly, giving me that cocky smile of his. For the first time in weeks, it made my heart melt. I blinked and glared at him.

"You are in so much troble later?"

"Am I?" he asked, innocently. "What are ya going to do about it?"

"Don't even get me started," I hissed. I heard someone cough behind me and became very aware how close Fang and I were. I was inches from his face. I blinked and stepped back, avoiding everyone's gaze and examing my shoes. I took a quick breathe and looked up at everybody with a smile. "Come on guys, we've got a party to get to."

And with that I walked quickly towards the door and ran into a dark figure. I looked up into a Batman mask. A black leather hand wrapped itself around my waist, while the other pulled off the mask and I found myself looking up into the blue eyes I haven't seen in weeks.

"Hey, baby," Josh said, kissing my forehead. "How's it going?"
