Disclaimer: hey everyone. I decided to condense all of the short stories that I have written into one big story. And I think it actually makes since. Woohoo! No, not in that way, for all you Sims 2 players who have dirty minds. Please read and review, because I hope you like the ending.

Claimer: sporks will rule the world.

Max's Prov

There, that ought to do it, thought Maximum to herself as she finished her suicide note. Ever since Fang died everything had gotten a lot more complicated. Max wanted out. She wanted out right now.

Max left the note on the entrance hall table, which was a place where someone was bound to see it, and ran out of her house to the nearby cliff. She looked down, and swallowed hard. Below there were sharp rocks, and a few feet away a river filled with dangerous rapids. Well, here it goes, thought Max to herself. And with one final thought of Fang, she threw herself into the air, and started falling.

Fang's Prov

Fang stumbled into the doorway, not entirely sure of what had happened over the past six days. He knew he had been in the hospital for quite a while after being hit by a car, and that everyone thought he was dead. Well, except Nudge, Iggy, Angel, and Gazzy. Max still thought he was dead. I bet she'll be happy to see me, Fang thought, with a hint of happiness. But then he saw a letter, sitting on the table in the entrance hall, addressed to The Flock.

Max's Prov

It was a long way down, and Maximum had shut her eyes, not wanting to see the rocks before she hit them. She had tied her wings together, just in case she decided to back out, so there was no backing out now. But something made her eyes open. What was that? Could that be…no. it couldn't. But there, standing at the top, was a person whom Max thought she would never see again.

"Fang?" she whispered to herself. Then with a crash, she hit the water.

Fang's Prov

Fang had arrived at the edge of the cliff just in time to see Maximum hit the water.

"Max! NO!" he screamed, and flew down to the water to find Max.

The waters were dangerous, and filled with sharp rocks. White foam was spraying up and hitting Fang in the face, but he didn't care. He had to find Max. He had to find her.

Max's Prov

She had drifted in the freezing waters ten feet before she could pull herself ashore. The impact had made her weak, and Max could barely keep her eyes open. She was struggling to stay alive…hopping that Fang would find her, and everything would be alright. She wanted so desperately to take a nap, right there on the sandy beach, but Max knew that if she did, she would never wake up again.

Fang's Prov

He was searching desperately to find Maximum. Where could she be? Was she alright? Questions flooded his mind. He didn't even know if she was alive or not. Fang turned around, and there on the sandy beach across the river, was Max.

"MAX!" he bellowed with all his might, fighting the air currents to get to her. He landed on the beach, and started running towards the motionless body before him. He hit the ground with a thud beside her.

"Oh…Max, Max…what have you done? What have you done, Max…" he chanted over and over again, but seeing her seemingly dead body stir gave him hope.

"You're alive! Oh, Max, I thought you were dead…" Fang gently lifted her up so that she was lying on his lap. Her face was deathly pale, and it worried him.

"Fang…" she gasped. Max had opened her eyes, but the effort tired her, so she closed them again.

"Yes, Max? What is it? What can I do?"

"You said you'd never…leave…me, Fang…you said…"

"I'm so sorry, Max, God I'm so sorry…they should have told you I was still alive…it's all my fault…" he was feeling guilty about the whole thing. If they hadn't gone to that grocery store…maybe things would have been different…

"Fang, just….hold me….like that night….Remember? don't let me go…please…don't let…me…"

"Don't worry, I've got you. Everything's going to be alright." Fighting to hold back tears, Fang tilted her head into the crook of his neck, and started to cradle her gently back and forth. He could feel Max's heart slow down, and he knew the end was near.

"Fang…"

"Yes?"

"How long….will you be with me?" but before Fang could answer, Maximum Ride died in his arms. Now letting the tears flow freely, he brushed her hair back, and whispered in her ear.

"Forever."
