Ok guys, now I know that its late, but this is really the first time that I could get around to updating. My AP class is killing me... Oh, and I want you guys to read the A/N at the bottom, I had an idea for you.

Anyway, here goes.

THINK OF INSTEAD, A GIRL WORTH FIGHTING FOR... I WANT HER PALER THAN THE MOON, WITH EYES THAT SHINE LIKE STARS...

Max POV

"Right, so basically there is a massive horde Erasers and Flyboys under the command of a different power-hungry, egotistical, crazy person than last time?" Gazzy sat, third ice cream sandwich in hand, with a confused and somewhat irritated look on his face at the base of the stairs leading up to my room.

I rubbed my temples, "Yeah, pretty much."

"Huh," he took a contemplative bite out of his frozen goodness, chewing it over (get it?) "... so what are we going to do about it?"

"At this point, I guess just sit tight and wait. As much as I don't like it, Jeb doesn't really know, or at least hasn't told me, anything more. All we can really do is keep our guard up, go everywhere in groups of at least two, preferably more. I'd really prefer not to pull anyone into this that doesn't have to be involved."

Angel looked at me from the chair she was sitting in, "Why? I mean, I know that there is really no fighting to be done right now--and hopefully never--but you know that every single one of the Dark Angels would gladly fight by you, even die for you."

"And that's exactly the reason that I don't want them involved," I explained, "The Dark Angels, even the ones I have never really met, mean almost as much to me as you guys and Sarah do. I will always hold you six slightly above, because you are my original family, but the Angels are my family too, and I don't want to endanger them when its not necessary."

We were all quiet for a while. I had called a Flock meeting--just us, not even Rico--so that we could discuss what was going on. It's not that I didn't trust Rico, but these were things that the Flock had dealt with for a long time. Brain attacks, Jeb, Itex... things that nobody else would really know how to deal with or even fully understand.

So, here we all sat, crammed into my office and covering just about every available surface. I was sitting in my chair, Fang on the edge of my desk, Angel in a chair on the other side of my desk, and Gazzy at the base of the small stair case, while Iggy and Nudge took over the entire couch. While Nudge had graciously sat at just one end of the couch, Iggy had decided that he wanted Nudge as his pillow and had sprawled out with his head on her lap, depriving at least two other people of comfortable seats. Other than argue, I had elected to just get down to business (to defeat, the Huns! Sorry, I have a six year old daughter...)

Ah, yes. The entire Mulan soundtrack is officially burned and stuck into my head. Oh, the joy...

"...ax? Maaax?" I jumped as Angel waved her hand in front of my face.

"Huh? What?" I asked.

"Uh... you were kinda spacing out for a second there, and you started humming that song from Mulan..." she trailed off, giving me an odd look.

"... and rainbow sprinkles... mmm..."

I glared at Gazzy as he and the other guys tried no to laugh.

"Shut up! Gazzy, I think that your about do for some extra training, don't you?" His faced dropped and I heard Iggy snicker, "You too Ig, you seem to be way to comfy on that couch. Wouldn't want Nudge to think that your loosing your physique, would you?" I held back a laugh as Nudge turned a furious red and Iggy sulked.

Gazzy finished his fourth ice cream sandwich (I don't even know where he got it) and stood up, "Come on Ig, might as well get it over with."

I grinned as they headed to the door, "In the mean time, I think Fang, Nudge, Angel and I will go get some dessert. What do you think guys?" The afore mentioned all nodded, trying not to laugh.

Gazzy stopped halfway out the door, "Will it have rainbow sprinkles?"

"Get out."

MY GIRL WILL MARVEL AT MY STRENGTH, ADORE MY BATTLE SCARS... I COULD CARE LESS WHAT SHE WEARS OR WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE, IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT SHE COOKS, LIKE BEEF, CHICKEN, PORK, MMM...


Fang POV

The morning after our Flock meeting, it was time for training again. Now, I had heard that Max usually ran the work outs, but since she had gotten stabbed, and had then been crazy busy, I hadn't ever seen her at training. Therefore, I was somewhat surprised when Max walked through the doors, wearing the same little shorts and training bra ensemble as she had the first morning after I got here. Especially since I had left her in bed not half an hour ago, completely zonked out.

As she walked through the doors, the usual din of the gym changed from loud conversations and boasting sessions, to muffled cat-calls and whistles. Max seemed oblivious, even though I knew she could hear them, but I was about ready to punch some body's face in.

Max stopped at the front of the gym, "Okay guys, line up!" People slowly heaved themselves up from their various positions and made their way over to their assigned line-up. Max's eyes narrowed, "Hey! I did not say 'Please line up at your own leisurely pace,' I said line up! Now get to it! You have three seconds!" Two seconds later, everyone was in position.

I have a feeling that this is going to be a lot different than when Rico runs training...

"Good. Now, I am happy to report that my temporary absence from training is over, and that I will be here every morning, unless something demands my attention. Therefore, I expect to see each and everyone of you on your scheduled days. By the time I walk through those doors, you will be finished stretching and warming up, and will be in the lineup you are in now. Your easy training days are over, as of now. Am I understood?" Her eyes scanned over us, daring anyone to object. Luckily, nobody seemed to be feeling especially stupid today.

"Yes Boss!"

"Thank you." Max grinned at us in that, I-know-something-you-don't-know kind of way. Oh, God...

"Now, training is going to start off a little different today. Since I haven't been here for the past couple weeks, I feel the need to assess where each of you are in your fighting skill. That means that you will all get to fight me. I will take volunteers first, but rest assured that you will all be required to at least take a swing at me." Her grin broadened.

That doesn't seem so bad... I looked around. Some people, who looked to me to be newbies by look shiny look of their tattoos, seemed exited by the idea. Other though, seemed apprehensive, and some just down right scared. I looked back at Max. She had that devastatingly beautiful, devious smirk on her face. The one she gets when she knows that she is going to win, weather you like it or not.

At that moment, she was so unbelievably sexy to me, that I almost forgot where I was.

"Any questions?" she asked.

"No Boss!"

Her eyes flickered over to mine for a fraction of a second, her smirk deepening just a bit, and my knees almost gave out.

"Then lets get started."

I'VE A GIRL BACK HOME, WHO'S UNLIKE ANY OTHER... YEAH THE ONLY GIRL WHO'D LOVE HIM IS HIS MOTHER...


Right, so here is my idea people. I'm hoping that it will not only inspire you guys to review, but will inspire me to update sooner.

I am going to start putting a question at the bottom of each post, it could be either a riddle or just a random question, for you guys to answer. The question could pertain to one of three categories; Movies, Riddles, or Random Facts. After you answer the question, you guys will get to vote for witch category you would like next. (Note: please put your vote inside your review, and know that a category cannot be chosen twice in a row, i.e. I will not ask two Movie questions in a row.) The questions will start out fairly easy, but will get harder as time goes on.

Now, for all your hard work you will be rewarded. The first five people to answer the question correctly will get a prize. The four runner ups will get a preview of the next chapter the day before I post it. Keep in mind that for you to get the preview, you have to leave me an e-mail address or a link to your profile. The first person to answer correctly will get the entire chapter a full day before I post it.

So, there is your incentive. I just randomly had this idea and wanted to see how it would work out. The first question is below. Good Luck!

Riddle:

Two coins make thirty cents, one of them is not a nickle. What are the two coins?
