A/N- Thanks for reviewing! I'm sorry that Max hates Fang, but she'll get over it. Maybe. I might put some Niggyness in here, but I'm not sure. Tell me what you think!

Disclaimer- Do you really think JP is a girl? Cause I don't.

Gazzy and Iggy looked up from their bomb plans when they heard Angel and Nudge laughing.

"Okay, who else is laughing?" Gazzy asked Iggy. "I hear Nudge and Angel, but there's another voice too. Who is it?"

Iggy looked thunderstruck. "I… I think it's Max!"

"Whoa, dude! Max is laughing! Like, really laughing!"

"I guess that means she's okay." Iggy glared at the area around Fang, who was staring at the sky, waiting for the girls (Max) to come into view.

(A/N- Back to Max's point of view)

As we landed in the clearing I was a little nervous. Nudge had said that Iggy and Fang had been fighting when they left, so I hoped neither of them were too hurt. I needed to thank Iggy, anyway. He's the one who got Fang off of me.

But I was still laughing, so I wasn't too worried. We landed and I pulled my wings in.

Angel was talking to Total, and Nudge was talking to Iggy. I looked around and saw Fang coming towards me. I looked around wildly for something to do so I could say I was busy. Then I wouldn't have to talk to him.

But there was nothing around me to occupy my attention, so I prayed that someone else noticed and would come to my rescue. I would probably forgive Fang eventually, but right now I really didn't want to talk to him.

My prayers were answered. Gazzy saw Fang coming towards me, and he told Iggy. Just as Iggy started coming towards me, Fang called my name.

"Max! I'm so sorry!" He was getting closer.

"Fang, leave me alone." I turned away. Iggy was hurrying towards the sound of my voice, but he still wasn't close enough to get me out of this awkward position.

Fang grabbed my arm and spun me around so I was facing him. "Max, just hear me out. Please. Please just listen." His eyes were actually showing emotion, and I could hear how sorry he was in his voice.

But that didn't change my mind. Sure, I was melting on the inside, but…oh, who am I kidding. I wanted to forgive Fang so badly, it hurt. He could get anything from me when he looked at me like that, and my resolve was quickly crumbling. But he shouldn't get off that easily. I shouldn't let him. Just as I opened my mouth to forgive him, against my better judgment, Iggy came to the rescue.

He put his arm around my shoulders and led me away. We went to where Nudge was sitting, and I sat on one side of her. Iggy sat on the other side. I stared at the ground for a little bit, then looked at Iggy.

"Thanks, Iggy." When he looked surprised and confused I clarified my thanks. "You know, for letting me go. I just needed some…" What was the word?

"Alone time?" Nudge finished.

"Yeah. Thanks, Nudge." I looked around for a bit, then tapped Iggy's hand. "I'm going to sleep. Iggy, Nudge, could you make sure everyone gets to sleep before midnight? I'll take third watch."

I got up and laid down a little ways away from the log that Iggy and Nudge were sitting on. I turned so no one could see my face and silently cried myself to sleep.

Iggy and Nudge sat on the log and waited until Max, Gazzy, Angel, and Total were asleep. Iggy had Nudge tell Fang that he had first watch, and Iggy would take second. Then Iggy and Nudge went a little ways into the woods to talk.

They flew up into a tree and sat side by side. Nudge stared at the stars for a while, then she broke the silence.

"Uhh… Iggy?"

"Yeah?" Iggy had been listening to the Nudge's quiet breathing. He didn't know why that made him feel so…calm, but he always listened to her breathing when he knew she wouldn't notice.

"Do you… you're gonna laugh at me, I know it."

Iggy could hear the sadness in her voice, and he knew she was serious. He would do anything to make her feel… not sad. "No. I won't laugh, Nudge. I promise."

"Okay… uh, d-do y-y-yo-you li- like… Max?" Nudge had to practically choke out the last part.

"What? Nudge, I can't understand a word you're saying. Speak clearly."

"Do you like Max?" Nudge covered her mouth, waiting for a reply.

Iggy had a confused look on his face. "D'you mean…?"

"Like, do you like like Max? Like, as a girlfriend?"

Iggy could hear Nudge biting her nails, and he pulled her hand away from her mouth. He almost laughed out loud. But he did promise he wouldn't. "Nudge, I don't like Max. Well, I do, but as a sister."

Nudge was really happy, but then she remembered that Iggy could be lying. "But you were like, dragging Fang off of her earlier. That's kind of like something a boyfriend would do. Then you started fighting with Fang. You guys practically never fight. Except when Gazzy says something in Fang's voice or something. It looked kind of like you were fighting over a girl. Over Max."

"Nudge, I pulled Fang off of Max because that's something a brother might do. Max really needed to get away for a minute, but Fang wouldn't let her go. And Fang attacked me. I was just defending myself, and keeping him busy so Max could be alone for a while. I know Fang likes Max. When we were… split up, he was always talking about her, or thinking about her. I think. That's what Gazzy said. I don't like Max. I like y- someon- no one. I don't like anybody. Well, I do, but as… never mind."

Nudge was really happy now. She knew Iggy wouldn't lie to her. He had really sounded honest. And he was blushing, which meant he did like someone else. "Iggy, were you about to say that you liked-"

Iggy cut her off. "Let's go back to camp. It's late." He jumped down to the ground and started walking quickly towards camp. Nudge hopped down and followed him.

"Iggy, were you about to say that you liked me?" She grabbed his skinny arm and dug her heels into the ground.

Iggy tried to pull away, but she was too strong. And stubborn. That was one thing he liked about her. He couldn't get away, so he answered. Truthfully. "Yeah." He said so quietly that Nudge almost didn't hear him. Then he kissed her cheek and she let go of him in surprise.

Then he slipped quietly through the trees and disappeared.

He lay down between where Max was sleeping and where Fang was sitting. A few minutes later Nudge entered the clearing and lay down next to him.

Then she spoke. "Hey Ig?"

He hoped with all his might that she would say what he wanted to hear. "Yeah?"

His voice shook a little bit, and Nudge could tell he was nervous. "I like you too." She whispered, and turned onto her side so she was facing away from him.

They both smiled into the dark.

A/N- What do you think? I like it a lot, personally. Please review, and tell me what you think. I guess I'll go for two reviews for the next chapter. Keep reading! Thanks!
