Hey People! Okay guess what? Last night when I was trying to get to sleep (unsuccessfully) an idea came to me. So I might have a plot now. The operative word is might but I'm updating anyways. Okay I think my chapters are going to be pretty short actually. Oh and I have no idea how long this story is going to be. I like reading the longer stories personally, but I don't know if I can write one of those. So just read.

Disclaimer: I don't own it, James Patterson does.

Iggy POV:

Whoa wait a second! I think that I just heard a bird talking. Well I'm guessing that it's a bird since its more like chirping not talking and I hear the wind ruffling its feathers. And the flock's wings are too big to make such a small sound. Okay… this is weird. I'm either going insane or our day just got weirder.

Fang POV:

I frowned, what the heck??? Why on earth is there a bird talking to Max? Isn't a talking dog enough? Who is the genius who came up with a freaking talking bird? (Tsk, tsk, tsk Fang I resent that) These white coats have issues. At least I think that the white coats made this… experiment? Wait is it dangerous? I immediately got into a fighting stance. To tell you the truth I think I look like a dummy. Getting into a fighting stance when the bird is like two inches big… but you never know with these white coats.

Nudge POV:

"OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! That is such a cute birdie" it is small and brown with little white specks. Why is Max having a staring contest with such a cute birdie? It's too cute! I went to pick it up. "Did you just talk? Wow you are very cute. How can you talk? Are you an experiment too? Wow this is too cool. Hey talk again please so I can make sure I'm not dreaming…" My words were cut off when the bird wiggled out of my grasp and gave me a look (I don't think that birds can give people looks, but I'm saying it anyway) "I was not addressing you… miss. I was speaking to Maximum Ride and please do not interrupt me" Well okay gosh sorry.

Max POV:

"Who are you? Who do you have a message from? What are you?" Okay, yes I am aware I sound like Nudge. But it's not everyday where you meet a talking bird that says it has a message for you. Plus I need some answers and fast. That's when the bird game ME a weird look. Okay I'm the leader so it better stop before I step on it. Hey voice can I trust it? Yes Max. This is one of the good guys. Just listen to it okay.

"I have been sent by MAI to extend an invitation to you to join us at our headquarters."

"Okay who the heck is MAI?"

"Mutants Against Itex."

"Exactly who are you… and what do you want from us?"

"MAI is an organization made up of mutants. We are all experiments that have escaped from the school. Well not the same school as you but a school none the less. We have all joined forces and are going to take the school down. Well we are actually going to help YOU take down the school. Yes I can see that you are surprised. Our leader says that we were created solely for that purpose. To help the Great Maximum Ride save the world. At the moment we have a problem and need your help. Some of our avian members have been recaptured and we can't get them out. You see even though we all have amazing abilities… we don't know how to use them. We are untrained and the Erasers can kill us in about two seconds flat. Your job at the moment is to come with me to our headquarters. Where you will rescue our avian members and train our troops. We will then hopefully take down Itex. It sounds simple doesn't it? Well it's really not. But this is your duty Maximum Ride. This is just a crude summary of course. There is much more but I can't really go into detail with you now. You will just have to come with me and speak to our leader."

Okay this is a lot for me to take in. Oh wait, hey Angel honey. Could you please read his thoughts and see if he is telling the truth? That's when I heard Angels voice say 'he is telling the truth.' Okay now what am I going to do. "Bird, he what is your name anyways? You talk to the rest of the flock and answer their questions. I'll be back in a minute." With that I took Fang's hand and pulled him into the forest. When we were close enough to the camp where we could hear cries for help, but could not be overheard. I stopped and turned around to look at Fang. Okay bad idea, I practically got lost in those dark eyes.

Fang POV:

Max dragged me into the forest and then she turned around to face me. It seemed like she was going to say something but then she stopped suddenly. What is wrong with her? She slightly shook her head, as if to clear it and sat down. She looked up at me and I also sat. Then she said "Okay so what do you think we should do? Angel says that we can trust it and I don't know what to do. Should we go with it and see if maybe they could really help us? Or are we just going to continue on by ourselves?"

"Why are you asking me?

"Well when we split up, you had to be leader and I'm thinking that you might have picked up some things. Besides you know that I value your opinion. Now what should we do?"

Did she just say that she values my opinion? "Well I think that maybe we should check this out. I don't want to put the flock in danger but what if these guys are legit and can help us. It's going to be pretty hard to save the world and maybe extra help is what we need. The decision is yours though. You are the leader and in charge."

"Okay we will go to this headquarters and check it out. Talk to who ever is in charge and get some answers. Then we'll decide what to do from then. Okay? Sound like a plan? But we can't let down our guards. We have no idea what we're getting into."

"Yea sure it sounds like a plan." I agreed. Max sort of half smiled and looked relieved.

"Thanks Fang. It helps to not have to make decisions on my own."

I sort of smiled when she said that. Not really a smile but the corners of my mouth moved upwards a little. Max noticed and softly laughed. She has a really nice laugh. Wait what am I saying? I stood up and held my hand out to her so I could pull her up. I guess I forgot how light she really was and I pulled too hard, because she came flying up towards me and collided with my chest. She was right there, her face inches away from mine. Okay this is kind of awkward. That's when I started to notice small things. How her hair sort of glowed when the sun hit it and how pretty her eyes really were. Okay Fang stop it! Stop it. Don't think like that. Well it wasn't helping that Max hadn't moved and was right there looking up at me with her mouth slightly parted. She was just looking at me and hadn't moved back or anything. Wow we were really close together. She was pretty much plastered onto my chest and I was still holding her hand. Did I ever mention how soft her skin was? FANG STOP IT! Okay I really need to get control of my thoughts.

Max's POV:

Fang sort of smiled when I said thanks. Well he really didn't smile but the corners of his mouth sort of went up a little bit. No one else would notice but I did. He held his hand out for me so he could pull me up. I don't know what happened then. Maybe he pulled a little too hard or something because I flew upwards right into his chest. He caught me from falling backwards again. I expected him to pull away but he just stood there. So I just stood there too. Why wasn't he pulling away or something? Wow we are really close together. I'm practically plastered onto his chest. He's got a really hard chest by the way. Muscular but not too muscular. Do you know what I mean? OMG wait a sec. Am I talking about Fang's chest. Okay Max seriously stop it. But oh man, he has like the most perfect eyes ever. They are a dark brown, sort of like chocolate and sort of seem to pull you in. My breath caught in my throat. He is gorgeous. MAX STOP IT! RIGHT NOW! I did not just say that about Fang. Okay I've got to get control of my thoughts. This is just crazy. One of us better pull away soon. But I didn't want to… that's when we heard a huge BOOM!

Sorry I left off that way but it seemed to be the best way to end this chapter and start the next one. Oh and I'm sorry guys. I didn't mean to turn this into a sort of Fax chapter. Okay sorry again because I didn't mean to do that. I was going to go back to the bird and all that but it just came out of no where. It was the perfect opportunity and I couldn't resist. Oh and I really want to thank the two people that actually did review. You made me happy. Oh and I'm sorry if you don't like this chapter but it's all I could come up with. I kind of liked it. Not the best chapter in the world and I see some problems but I don't think that it's completely awful. I was so excited when I read my reviews that I screamed. Okay well I'm rambling again. Oh and just so you know. You don't have to read these little Author Notes. Because they are going to be long and pointless. I just really am bored and don't want to study for the test I have tomorrow. PLEASE REVIEW. Well you really don't have to if you don't want to but it would make me happy. Oh and I like smilies too :D
