Max's Pov

Coral only let me whine and complain for about thirty minutes before she asked the boys to tie me down to her beauty salon chair. Of course they agreed, stupid boys. So right now, I was staring at myself in the mirror. God, I look like an idiot. I had foil all over my hair and zebra print duct tape over my mouth. I'm never letting Venus get anything other than silver duct tape from now on.

~A Couple of Hours Later~

"DONE!" Coral squealed happily and clapped like a little girl. I slowly opened one eye, then the next. I was slightly scared of the person in the mirror. I knew it was me, but it also...wasn't. It wasn't what I was used to.

"Holy shi-" Flame started when he walked in but then caught himself. I looked…different, I get it but even I had to admit that the new look somewhat fit me.

"I like it," Jade said, approval in her voice. She crossed her arms and smirked at me through the mirror.

"You look awesome," Venus said eyes wide and happy Coral is doing my hair from here on forth. Wow, that is so Venus. Jade, please take the duct tape off, it hurts like hell. Jade laughed and motioned for Coral to remove the tape, which she did, it took my all not to scream like a little girl.

"Different," Storm said from the doorway.

"You look-" Shade started but was interrupted by Coral.

"She looks hot!" Coral said, her smile going from ear to ear, "Of course the pink stripe would've looked better, but hey! Whatever floats your boat! I'm just glad that you let me dye your hair. I can't tell you how long I was waiting for the day you would agree to let me do your hair!"

I was more focused on my eyes, they were normal again. They were a brownish hazel again. Weird…

"Now, if you let me dress-"

"ABSOLOUTELY NOT!" I yelled, on the edge of hysteria.

"AWW, but MAXXXX!" Coral whined.

"Nope, I already let you dye my hair; I'm not going to let you sabotage my awesome wardrobe."

"Wait, do you like your new hair?" Coral asked, and I have to admit, it was pretty awesome now.

"Yeah, it's not that bad. I'm just glad I still have my hair." We all smiled, and soon we were rolling on the ground laughing, tears streaming down our cheeks. I stood up, using the chair for support. I wiped away some tears and looked in the mirror; my eyes had changed to an aquamarine-happiness.

"Hey, uh, can we go to the park?" Coral asked suddenly and I smiled. Sometimes I forgot she was still a kid, I forgot that we were all still kids. I nodded, rewarded with her blue eyes sparkling even more than usual.

"Sure, sweetie," I laughed and before you could say "Park" we were there. We all messed around with our powers, but of course nothing too odd that would draw attention to us. Jade was messing with everyones emotions, Storm was throwing force fields at everyone and then when you tripped he froze the ground beneath you and made you fall on your butt, it was pretty hilarious. Flame was being annoying as usual, he would heat a part of you up then take awy all the heat, it may not sound that bad, but just wait until you feel totally warm and then suddenly all the warmth is gone leaving a headache. Shade was being equally as annoying by making us see things that scare us, things that make us smile, and then he would make a wind that wasn't really there. Venus and Coral were working together to make mist and heating up the air around us and moving the dew around so that it was like a sauna out here.

I wasn't using my power as much as them, I was just using it to fight off their 'attacks'. When we finally got tired of each other and seperated across the park I went to the swings with Jade, and that was when I sensed them. Jade sensed my tension and asked me what was wrong.

"Nothing," I replied looking around for them. I guess I wasn't that thorough when I blocked my mind because I saw Jade also looking for them.

"Over there," Jade whispered quietly (A/N: Just to clear this up, this is a whole new park day, the flock is going to the park again and this time they run into old, and new, friends).

Guys, get over here. Jade and I sent out putting up walls high enough so that Angel wouldn't be able to get in, we did the same for the others, since their walls were always too weak. Storm collected everyone and got them over to us. Wow, no questions so far.

"What's up?" Flame asked, discretely looking around. Just because we're careless doesn't mean we're not careful. If that makes any sense.

"Old friends," I hissed and I'm sure my eyes turned a dark, dark red. I liked how my eyes tried to stay somewhat normal; otherwise everyone would be scared of me. But I hated how I couldn't even try to hide my emotions anymore.

Storm raised an eyebrow but stayed quiet. "We should go," Jade said, looking around for a clear exit. It was all pretty clear but... it's our life and nothing is ever clear.

"Or, Shade could erase their minds," Shade said using 3rd person. HE's an idiot and very full of himself.

I sighed, I could do that…but that would be taking the easy way out. Why can't I? Because my stupid voice won't let me. "No," Jade said forcefully, "we can't do that, they have a girl that could fight back the telepathic attack and that would hurt you, possibly kill you." And then there's that.

"Let's light them on fire!" Shade suggested with an evil smile.

"Pyro, you really need to take a breath of clean air that isn't smoke infested and there's no fire near by," Venus said. I couldn't help but think that he would be good friends with Iggy and the Gasman.

"Just saying," Shade shrugged, trying to suppress his laughter.

Fang's Pov

"Fine, fine, fine!" Maya threw her hands up in the air in annoyance.

"YES!" Nudge squealed happily clapping. She rushed to the stairs and yelled that they were going to the park. I just don't understand why these kids love the park so much.

So we're at the park and well there was an odd group of people there. I could tell that Maya agreed. Then I saw them all group up together and I could sense the tension in the air. "Go on," Maya said trying to sound sweet. Key word: trying. The kids ran off, Iggy and Gazzy had that evil smirk on and I was ready for something to explode, and the others were talking by the trees. "Does that group look suspicious?" Maya asked looking anywhere but the group. I nodded.

"YO! Fang!" Iggy hissed running into me.

"What's up, Ig?" I asked, steading him.

"IT'S MAX!" Gazzy squealed running into Maya.

"What?" Maya asked looking worried.

"It. Is. MAX!" That caught my attention, and apparently everyone else in this flock.

"What? Where?" Nudge asked looking around frantically.

"She knew," Angel whispered looking at Maya.

"What?" I asked looking at Maya then at Angel.

"I knew," Maya said at the same time Angel said, "She knew."

"Knew what?" Star demanded.

"That Max was here!" Exploded Maya and Angel.

"You knew?" Gazzy asked in a young voice.

Maya nodded, "Sorry guys, it was kind of a secret..." (One that will not be revealed until later! MWAHAHAHA!)

"Well, where is she?" The flock demanded, and I was surprised that Dylan actually looked exctited.

"I don't know!" Maya said.

Of course, it all made sense. She was in that weird group! I looked that way and realized that a weird fog was setting and they were becoming somewhat invisible.

"She's with them?" Holden asked. I nodded.

"Yeah, but we can't see them..." I replied. We made this silent agreement and soon we were trudging toward that invisible group.

Max's Pov

We saw them coming toward us and we kind of just stood there. "What do we do?" Coral asked in a small voice.

"They're not dangerous," I whispered, "Just very annoying and...disappointing," I said the last part quietly, too quiet for even Venus to hear.

"Let's go," I finally said turning to leave when I heard them.

"What if it's not her?" Little Angel asked.

"Okay..." You guys my new name is-

Snow.

"What?"

"Snow, I like it," Flame said to Jade.

"Thanks. Okay." Whether or not you like it, it's your new name for now. Try not to blow up and blow your identity, kay'? I just nodded. Snow, of all the names...

"Umm hi," Iggy started off awkwardly.

"Whoa, she looks like Snow," Shade said hiw voice full of awe. So much for trying not to blow my identity.

"Umm," I started, "no she's doesn't." Shade is officially Snow.

"WHAT?"

"What?" Fang asked.

"What?" I added, trying to confuse everyone.

"What you mean is, WHAT?" Jade supplied.

"Okay, I'm lost." Wow, Nudge only saying three words, the world must be ending.

"Max?" Angel asked me, skeptically.

WHAT DO I DO! OH NO! OH NO! OH NO! OH NO! OH NO! Tell her. What? NO!

"That's my name don't wear it out," Jade said. WHAT! I looked at her and realized something I never saw before, Jade is a spitting image of me mixed with Fang and Nudge (horrible thought right there). But I looked even closer and realized that either Jade has been hiding one of her powers or she just developed a new one because her black hair was now blond and her unique eyes were now my old ones, was almost an exact replica of me.

And here I thought two Max's was enough, I guess I was wrong.
