Hey guys, NO REVIEWS? Come on, pleeeasssee? Anyways, MERRY CHRISTMAS GUYS! HOPE YOU'RE HAVING A GRRRRRREAT ONE! It's almost 2011. One more year til... *shudders* :P

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN MAXIMUM RIDE. It would be my christmas wish though :(

~Jeb's POV~

Hah, my perfect little girl. Perfect specimen. Little does she know, that with a few adjustments, I can make her famous. Everyone would know her, everyone would want to be her. All the other girls would be SO jealous of my little girl.
Who am I kidding? This is ALL FOR MY benefit. I created her. I'm the one thats going to be rich. I'll just tell her the first bit though...

"Hi Maximum, don't you remember me? I'm your father. We brought you hear, sweetie, to help you." I smiled my warmest smile... Damn, I'm not really that good with kids... She glared at me.

"You're not my 'father', my dad's back home... with Mom, and Nudge and Angel! And they're probably extremely worried about me right now... So HOW is this helping me?" She said, I could tell she was trying to compose herself. Amazing, I gave her just the right amount of self-control. She glanced at the boys, what were they're names? Oh right, Fang and Iggy, pathetic... and she smiled a little, probably thinking about ways to kill them... I taught her well.

"You'll see..." I said stood up, dusting off my jeans, we might have to move her to a cleaner cell..., and glared at the boys before pulling open the heavy door and slamming it shut. A few more days and everything will be ready...

~Max's POV~

What. A. Bastard. That's all I was thinking while he was looking at me. MY FATHER? No way am I related to... THAT!

"You're not my 'father'," I said, trying to sound as apathetic as possible, ignoring the stupid voices, screaming in my head.

"My dad's back home with Mom, and Nudge and Angel!" Apathetic, calm, composed. Don't let him see your weakness... Angel and Nudge...

"So, HOW is this helping me?" I crossed my arms and glared at him, Fang and Iggy shifted beside me, standing up and leaning awkwardly against the cell walls, pulling faces at Jeb and I tried not to smile, knowing he was watching me, I think I failed miserably there... Don't worry, I was in hysterics on the inside. Then I remembered they were the ones who kidnapped me and my face turned to stone, again.

"You'll see..." He smirked, it took all of me to stop from launching myself at him and punching that face of his, in. He closed the door and I looked at Fang and Iggy, who came and sat down next to me, WHAT was wrong with those two?

"What are you guys doing? Why are you so nice to me?" I asked, truth is, that question's been tugging at me for a whhilllleee now. Fang looked at Iggy and Iggy looked at Fang... Is it just me, or am I missing out on some SERIOUS tele-communication here?

"Hey Max... We're just like you..." Iggy said, finally turning to me. What did he mean? What? Just like me? Yes, we're human... Americans... What does he mean?

"We were taken too..." Fang added. Hey, that guy cuts right down to it... Now I get it... NOT!

"What do you mean you were taken too! You can't be, you're my kidnappers!" Wow, I sound like a little girl don't I... Being locked up can do crazy things to your brain, kids.. or non-kids. Whatever, I'm calling you guys kids...

"There's a reason they took you... A big reason..." Iggy sighed, looking down. All of a sudden, he shot up and Fang's eyes widened. Am I missing out AGAIN?

"Ohh, I've said to much. I'm sorry!" Iggy cried... was he, actually crying? His eyes.. are wet? Fang's mouth dropped wide and Iggy stood up abruptly, leaving the cell and slamming the door shut. Fang sighed and looked deep into my eyes.

"Look, we could get killed for telling you so much... But you should know.. anything is better than staying in this hell hole." He said, pulling me up and taking me into the darkest corner of the cell lifting his shirt off his head. WAIT. WHAT? Okay... I admit, I was having a full blown panic attack. Don't stare at his abs. Don't stare at his abs. Don't stare at his abs... You're staring at his abs. WAY TO GO VOICE! YOU NOTICED!

Fang looked deep into my eyes, holding me by my shoulders as he threw his shirt down.

HOLY. SHIT.
