Wolf and MR lover: YES. Max must kick butt along with Fang or the story is not complete. :)
Disclaimer: You guys may be surprised but... *sniffle sniffle* James Patterson does not know we exist... *tear tear* therefore he didn't give us permission to own his characters. So... we don't *weep* own Maximum Ride *weep* or any of its characters. *WEEP*
Max
Rule #1 in spy school, be cool.
"Woah." I mentally facepalm myself. Real smooth, Max. "I mean, uh, that was amazing what you did."
"Thanks. My name is Fang. You know, you weren't so bad yourself..." he says.
"Thanks, I'm Max, and nice to meet you Fang," I say softly.
"OMG like you totally kicked some squishy butt out there 'cause all of them mega jerkwads dropped to the floor like 'plop, plop, plop, plop' and that was super cool. Hehe plop sounds funny. PLOP PLOP PLOP. Hmmm that would make someone who has to pee just wet their pants. Oh, do you have to go pee? If you do then I'm sorry for making you wet your pants. Ooo nice jeans! Where'd you buy them? Oh, I'm Nudge by the way!" Nudge finishes, completely ruining the moment.
"No problem, that is a funny word, I don't have to go pee, I don't know where I bought them, and hi Nudge, I'm Fang," he says politely.
...That's pretty impressive. Usually no one can even keep up with Nudge's motor mouth, let alone listen to her blab.
"So, do you guys want to grab something to eat? I haven't had dinner yet," Fang asks us.
"Sure, why not?" I say sweetly, hhmm, this might help out with the mission.
"OoOoOo, there's this place that supposedly serves really good cheesecake. And it has all these cute berries surrounding it. The sauce is supposed to be really gooey and sour... but sweet at the same time. So sorta like sweet and sour, I think it's part of a 5 star restaurant and-" Nudge rambles on, before Fang interrupts.
"Hhhmmm, that sounds good, but I was thinking about something a bit lower key..." Fang says.
My thoughts EXACTLY... except with a bit more cursing involved.
"Why don't we walk around and look for a diner or something?" I suggest.
"Mkkaayy," Nudge says happily skipping on the spot.
"OK, that works," Fang answers.
The three of us head out of the dark alley in search of food. At first it's awkward. And I mean REALLY awkward. With Nudge and I walking silently in front and Fang trudging behind us. And then we switch up with Fang leading the way and Nudge and I being followers. Eventually though, the silence is broken by my awkwardness.
"Soo..."
"Soooo..." Fang repeats.
"SOOOOO," Nudge declares... rather loudly.
"Uh, you go to our school don't you? You're the new kid, right?"
Fang nods and says, "Yeah." Wow, this kid is like a second Nudge. NOT.
"Do you guys want to go to that diner?" I ask pointing to a random diner around the corner.
"Sure," Fang replies.
The three of us walk towards the diner with our mouths watering.
When we arrive we peer in to see one booth left. YES! We enter and a hug warm air rushes at us.
"How may I help you darlings?" an elderly waitress asks.
"A table for three please," Fang says with a small smile. Holy! He should smile more often...
"Sure thing. Right this way," the waitress motions.
The three of us follow the elderly waitress as she approaches a booth. Fang sits on one side, and Nudge sits on the other. HHMMM, which side should I sit on? URGH, no brainer... sit with your best friend. I sit myself down next to Nudge and grab the menu off the polished table.
HHMMM, burgers, fries, pasta... so much to choose...
Fangs POV
When we're all comfy in our seats the waitress comes to take our order.
"What would you dears like to order?"
"Hmm, I'll have a giant strawberry smoothie with loads of whip cream... and could you put some extra strawberry sauce on the top too? And I want a clam chowder with an extra pack of crackers so I can dip them in my soup. Because I like eating soggy crackers even though that sounds weird. But it actually tastes really good! And for dessert I want a banana split with extra ice cream... and extra syrup, and... extra EVERYTHING," Nudge says cheerily.
"OK," the waitress replies, slightly overwhelmed.
Max scans the menu one last time. "May I please have 2 large cokes, a cheeseburger, and some fries?"
Woah, these girls sure can eat a lot, almost as much as me...
"Sure honey," the waitress replies, furiously scribbling down notes.
I wait for her to finish Max's order and get her bearings before I ask, "Can I get a large sprite, a chocolate waffle with whipped cream, a large hamburger combo with additional fries, and a bowl of chicken noodle soup?"
"Alright dearies, your food will be ready momentarily," our waitress says shaking her head and smiling softly. She scurries off to get our orders ready.
"So where did you learn all those kick butt moves?" Nudge asks.
"Well, when I was younger my parents died and so for a while I had to fend for myself," I answer softly.
"Oh... I'm sorry," Max says quietly.
The three of us sit in silence for a while until , who would have guessed, Nudge breaks the silence.
"So, umm, Fang, why did you move to our blink-of-an eye school?"
"I don't know. For a fresh start, I guess." I answer
Max nods knowingly, staring at me straight in the eyes. Ahhh, what pretty eyes. They sparkle like the moonlight on a... FANG STOP. What are you doing? Max is your mission assignment NOT your girlfriend. SNAP OUT OF IT DUDE!
"A fresh start, hhmm, I'd want one of those," Max says, letting her gaze fall to the table top.
What did she mean by that? She didn't enjoy the life of an assassin? Well, I surely wouldn't. I wasn't exactly comfortable with killing yet...
"Me too! Because sometimes I wish I were a rock star! I mean wouldn't that be cool? You get to tour the world and hand out lollipops. AND you get to meet famous people. WEEHEE, that would be so fun! And you get to be on TV!" Nudge exclaims, glee written all over her face.
Geez, has the girl been living on sugar pops?
Dylans POV
Mission 'spy on Max-the-assassin' commences today.
I followed Max along the graveled sidewalk to her home. STALKER STYLE. I went on the left sidewalk, then I went on her side of the sidewalk and then I did a COSTUME CHANGE. Yup, I'm just that cool. When I get back from my oh-so-important-change I see another girl with Max. Her hair is a dark brown, her skin is a dark mocha shade, and her eyes are gleaming with excitement. Interesting... Max's friend...After 10 blocks of intense stalking we make it to Max's apartment. The two girls walk into Max's apartment and a few minutes later, they walk out. I immediately hide behind a bush using my super fast spy reflexes.
"We have to go to that new mall that just opened, it has this huge five star restaurant and they serve all kinds of good stuff. Crab, lobster, steak-" the mocha skinned girl squeals before Max covers her blabber mouth.
"No way Nudge, you are losing it, anyways, it's out of our budget,"
OoOoO, so mocha skinned girl has a name, Nudge. Okay, they're going out to eat. Then I begin phase one of my mission. Bug Max's house.
I walk up the stairs to the sixth floor, Max's apartment. Apartment 603. I place my special fingerprint-proof gloves on and carefully take out my lock picking kit. I swiftly unlock the door and creep in. Not too bad of a place. To my left is a mirror/closet with sneakers lining the floor... hmm, no heels? To my right is a standard kitchen and in front of me is a kitchen table filled with papers. I take a few steps forward examining my surrounding, Hmmm, this girl is sure interesting, not too, um... girly? I turn to my left to see two rooms One of the rooms is… well PINK. The pillows, the blankets, the shelves, the bed... even the walls and carpet are pink. Oh ya, this is definitely Max's room. That was sarcastic by the way. So, this is Nudge's room... interesting. I wonder why Nudge and her are such good friends I mean they're both sort of... opposites. I peer around the corner to see a bathroom, again all pink. Yup, this is so Nudge. I walk out of the pink-room-of-terror and enter the other room. Now this is so Max. The walls are all black and the carpet is all white. Hmm, nice contrast. The bed sheet and pillows are all white and so is her bathroom.
Now, to decide where to plant these bugs...
I peer into my gadgets bag to examine what I have to work with. I have 4 mini camera bugs , sleeping gas, and a grenade. Hmmm, not bad. I peer around Max and Nudge's apartment and choose where to place the four bugs. I place one of the bugs under Max's bed in the crook of the bed frame, the other bug I place in her sofa, my third bug is placed on the side of her fridge,the last listening/camera device I place in Nudge's closet. Hmm, I think that's good enough... My work here is done. I smirk and stroll through the rooms back to the front door. That took less time than I thought. This mission will be a breeze.
A/N: BOOP DIDDLEY BOOP. :) In the near future, something really INTERESTING will be happening in our story. :) Maybe something like *cough* kidnapping *cough* -Ashley
