DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN MAXIMUM RIDE OR ANY OF IT'S CHARACTERS!

MAX'S POV.
"Maaaaax!" Angel screamed. She ran into my room and shut the door.
"What's wrong?" I said picking her up.
"Gazzy and Iggy are making more stink bombs! They wanted me to smell it for them. They said it smelled flowers! I almost threw up when I smelled it!" "Iggy! Gazzy! Get your butts in here!" I yelled. 6:30 was way too early for this crap.
"Yesss?" they said at the same time, smiling innocently.
"More stink bombs? Really? And making Angel test it out?"
"C'mon! It's going under Ms. Mustaches desk!" he meant our math teacher, Ms. Gieger. She had a birth-mark right above her lip...it looked SO much like a mustache. (AN: Actual teacher at my school XD)
"Last time you did that you were suspended for a week!"
"Only cause I got caught!" he was trying, and failing, to defend himself.
"Mom will kill you if it happens again." I said getting annoyed.
"She's to drunk all the time to care." Gazzy mumbled.
"You know things have been hard on her since dad left." I protested.
"Things have been hard on all of us! But she doesn't even care!" Gazzy yelled.
"Everyone on the bed... C'mon!" I said. Angel ended up in my lap, Gazzy was leaning on my shoulder, and Iggy was sitting across from me. "I know things have been hard, trust me, I do. But that's why we have the four of us, to keep us sane through all of this."
"Why'd he leave us?" Gazzy asked looking up at me tears threatening to escape his eyes.
"I really don't know Gazzy, but one day I'm going to find out. I promise." I said and ruffled his hair.
"I hate him." Angel sighed.
"Me too." I hugged her.
"Us too!" Iggy and Gazzy yelled. Sometimes, they could be twins, except for the 6 year age gap.
"Right now, we're all gonna promise that we will never leave." Iggy said looking each of us in the eyes.
"I promise." -Gazzy said it first.
"I promise." then Angel.
"I promise." Next was Me.
"I promise." Lastly was Iggy. He then proceeded to pull us all into a group hug. I loved having these guys with me.
"Okay, I love you guys, but now we gotta finish getting ready or we'll be late for school." I said smiling. "Orrrr, we could skip today!" Iggy said. Immediately all of the kids looked up at me with pleading eyes.
"It'll be fu-un" Gazzy said in a sing-songy tone.
"Ugh fine, but I'm going back to sleep. Then we'll all go out for lunch."
"Yay!" They all yelled running out.
My last thought before slipping into my dreams was 'I wonder if mom does care..."
~DREAM~ The six of us were on a beach. Me, Iggy, Gazzy, Angel, mom, and even dad. We were laughing and having fun, us kids were Having a contest to see who could hold their breath longest. Angel always won. Then Gazzy and Iggy attacked me. Iggy grabbing my arms, Gazzy holding my legs. They picked me up and threw me in the water, laughing. I splashed them, then Angel teamed up with me. We engaged in an epic splash battle. Soon even mom and dad joined in, mom with us, dad with the guys. Sadly, that's when I started waking up, not wanting to be pulled out of the dream I kept my eyes closed. But I eventually got up happy. I forced myself out of bed, my clock read 11:13. I threw on a pair of jean shorts, a red tank top, and red flip-flops. I put my hair into a ponytail, and went to make sure the others were up. Angel was but the guys weren't, so we had a...Special way of waking them up. We stole two of their stink bombs and set them of in their rooms. We ran out of the house and flew a safe distance above it. Gazzy and Iggy ran out coughing and gagging about a minute later. Then they looked up and saw me and Angel laughing our butts off. So they flew up, glaring at us.
"Payback for this morning!" Angel squealed, dodging a hit from Gazzy.
"Bet THAT didn't smell like flowers!" I laughed, as Iggy came at me. We fought like that for about ten minutes laughing the whole time.
"You guys suck!" Gazzy said as we landed.
"Yeah well, you swallow!" Angel yelled. Me and Iggy looked at each other and busted out laughing. Gazzy's face turned as red as a tomato.
"Do you even know what that means Angel?" I got out between laughs.
"No, but I heard you yell it at Nick." she said smiling. That caused another session of laughing from me and Iggy. After we calmed I told everyone to get ready for lunch. About 20 minutes later we piled in Iggys car and he drove us to the diner. It didn't have a name, just a big sign out side that said 'DINER'. We went in and sat in our favorite booth in the back. It was one of the big corner ones meant for eight people. After a minute a woman came over and asked us for our drinks. She had big fluffy white hair and way to much red lipstick.
"Pepsi" Gazzy and Iggy said.
"Sweet tea with lemon for me." I said
"Chocolate milk!" Angel said excitedly.
"It'll be out in a minute." the waitress answered with an obviously fake smile.
"So what are the plans for the rest of the day?" Iggy asked when she was gone.
"Well...we could go to the beach." I suggested remembering my dream. "It's only like 45 minutes away."
"Yeah!" Angel said.
"It'll be fun." Gazzy said coolly with a nod from Iggy, but I could tell they were excited. Angel could too, so we looked at each other and laughed.
"Then It's decided!" I smiled. We ate then went home, and changed into our bathing suits. We headed towards the beach. When we got out it was just like my dream, sandy white beach and big waves. Angel grabbed my wrist and yelled "C'mon!" we all ran to the water. Eventually Angel and Gazzy began making sand castles, trying to out do each others creation.
"They're so... innocent." Iggy sighed, sitting on his boogie-board.
"Yeah, wonder how long it'll last." I said with a chuckle.
"God, we sound like parents." He said with a face-palm.
"We kinda are at this point." I said floating on my back while the water was calm.
"That means you're my wife... Eww!"
"Oh hush Ig." I said and splashed him. He splashed back and soon the four of us were splashing each other, just like my dream. We stayed and swam until about 5:00. We had to get home before mom did at seven. So we had to head home. When we got there Fang was sitting on his porch... Drawing maybe?

FANGS POV.
I was in the middle of drawing a picture of Max, her wings spread soaring through the sky. I barley had time to hide it when she walked over.
"Yo." she said, as if the past few days hadn't even happened. I looked up and realized she was in a bikini. It was black with light gray hearts. God she was hot.
"Hey, You weren't at school today." I said casually.
"I know, what are you drawing?" she questioned, ignoring my statement.
"Nothing." I said a little to quickly, earning me a suspicious look. Before I could stop her she grabbed my notebook. I went to grab it, but she flew up, knowing I wouldn't. She looked even more beautiful, which i didn't know was possible, with her wings out, flying slightly above me. She landed on my roof and started looking through the pages. I looked around to make sure no one would see, then flew up and landed next to her right as she got to the nearly finished picture of her flying. Her eyes widened as she realized it was her. My cheeks flushed as I grabbed it back from her.
"You're a good artist." she said with her own cheeks reddening, and not looking me in the eyes.
"Thanks." I mumbled.
"Fang... Do you... Never mind." she shook her head then got up to leave.
"Wait," I said grabbing her arm, "Do I what?"
"Do you ever wonder... what it would be like if we never started hating each other?" she asked reluctantly.
My heart clenched, "Every day." I admitted.
"What do you think would've happened?"
"Well I guess you might be my," I swallowed, trying to cool down my cheeks, "Girl...friend?"
"Maybe..." she said with an unreadable face. And then she went back home, leaving me on the roof feeling like an idiot.
