(A/N: I already updated today, but in case I don't get to it tomorrow, I'll put it this chapter up today... Lucky readers! So I have a quick question: Is this story dragging on? Does it even seem like there is a plot? It's hard to find a song that I can use all the time. I'm trying to stick with U2, so if you have a suggestion, I'll be glad to hear any of them. My sister, one of the reviewers, is crazy, so if he reviews and says the story sucks, ignore her. Although I was totally surprised to see a nice review from her... Thanks for all the reivews guys, I love all my reviews! Another Question: Does this chapter seems too short? Are my chapters too long or too short? Tell me please, even though that ws more than a question... I could probably write all day if I wanted to... Imagine that!)

Disclaimer: I own James Patterson and U2, so in turn, I own Maximum Ride and "The First Time." Did you belive me? I didn't tihnk so... It was worth a try though...

Did you notice that when you're in love everything seems different? Yup, I said two things you'd probably find Maximum Ride not normally saying. I said I was in love, and I asked for your opinion. That's a shocker.

But really, did you ever notice? I mean, colors seem brighter and richer; scents smell clearer and so much better; everything has a different meaning.

You probably think I've had a meltdown or something. I mean, so I normally wouldn't be caught dead saying stuff this sappy or fluffy or anything. But, like I said, love changes everything…

I have a lover
A lover like no other
She got soul, soul, soul, sweet soul
And she teach me how to sing
Shows me colors when there's none to see
Gives me hope when I can't believe
That for the first time
I feel love

When you spend your life trusting someone, loving them more than life itself, and then that person stabs you in the back, you give up on love and trusting people. Did you guess who I was talking about? If you said Jeb, you're absolutely right.

I always had the Flock with me, as a family. Now I've got Fang and he's something more…

And I like things this way.

I have a brother
When I'm a brother in need
I spend my whole time running
He spends his running after me

I can talk to him now, I have someone to vent to. And he doesn't seem as bottled up as he used to. Yeah, Mr. Uptight is now on a diet; he's a little more open, but only towards me. Around the others he's still the same old stiff Fang they know and love.

I mean, now I don't have so much pressure on me. I don't see how; the others aren't doing anything extra. But I think just having someone like Fang helps a lot.

When I feel myself going down
I just call and he comes around
but for the first time
I feel love

Jeb wants me to save the world. He says I was preordained to do it. I say it's a load of… um… poppycock. I could care less if he says I have to do it. I'm gonna do it anyways, for me, for the Flock.

My father is a rich man
He wears a rich man's cloak
Gave me the keys to his kingdom coming
gave me a cup of gold

I want to see the world. It's so big, so while I save the world, I'm gonna travel. I mean, by saving the world, I won't be in America the whole time, right? I must have to like travel.

He said I have many mansions
and there are many rooms to see
But I left by the back door
and I threw away the key
and I threw away the key
Yeah, I threw away the key
Yeah, I threw away the key

I like this new feeling though- love. It's kind of… well, cool I guess. It's new and kind of mysterious; it's an adventure. I'll bet this wasn't preordained, so take that Jeb. There's a first time for everything.

For the first time
for the first time
for the first time

I feel loved
