So R&R!

Max POV

When Angel and I got to the top of the stairs we heard the back door leading to they're pool open and close a few seconds later. Angel went to go get changed and as soon as I got into the guest bedroom-literally I just got to the doorway-and Nudge came out of nowhere and grabbed my backpack...

don't ever tell her this but while going through it she looked like a rabid squirrel and if I'm not telling the truth may wings grow out of my back and strike me-no Iggy with lightning. Seriously though It. Was. Weird.

She pulled out my swimsuit and held it with two fingers with a look of pure horror. "See I told it was a one piece!" Ella said "That's all she ever wears-but you didn't believe me!" She said in a I told-you-so voice while crossing her arms over her chest and Nudge threw my bathing suit on the ground as far away from her as possible. Humph!

"BUT NOOO! You have two good of a body not to show Max! I don't care if you never again but you will wear one of my bathing suits tonight!" I went to open my mouth but she interrupted me with a voice of ice, "You. Will. Wear. One. Of. Mine. And you won't complain either. You will strut like you have worn these all your life! Do you hear me?" I gulped, "I said do you hear me Maximum Marie Ride?"

"Yes fine." I said beaten and a little afraid of Nudge's bad side. But at least I don't have to worry if boys break her heart-well I will worry, for the boys lives that is. After I said that she instantly brightened.

"Yay! Thank you so much Max! I'll go get it for you. You're going to look so hot you'll be smoking-no that's sounds stupid they'll say 'what's cooking?' no I go back to my first one the second one jus-"

"SHUT UP!" Me and Ella both yelled. But not loud enough for the boys to hear-Angel would hear since you know her bedroom is right beside the guest bedroom.

"I'm going to go get your bikini!"

"Ok." I said with a angry sigh. She then walked to her room.

"Why did you tell her the 'Forbidden Name'?" I asked her angrily

"Well you know she rants and as much as I put up a fight she wouldn't stop until I told her! And most people call the 'Forbidden Name' Marie you know!"

Ella POV

Actually I lied there... but what she knows won't hurt her! Right?

Nudge and I were talking and we were gossiping about people and you know our usual. So then I'm like 'OMG speaking of middle names did you know what Max's middle name is?' She shook her head. 'It's Marie!' She had said 'that is so cool she is the three M's!'

DON'T TELL MAX! I fear for my life! I want to -no need to- live! I have spent way to long with Iggy. All though he is dreamy and he can cook, COOK! He is like the perfect package whoever gets him is lucky he's-I'm getting way off topic, I'm just trying to say I would like to live till my prom at least!

"WAIT DID SHE SAY BIKINI!?" Uh oh it sunk in...

Max POV

It just clicked. What have I gotten myself into? "NO! NOOOOOOOOO!" This time the boys could hear. Who am I kidding the whole WORLD could hear! The astronauts could hear!

"Max calm down! It's just this once. Only your friends will see you ok?" Ella said trying to calm me down. Keyword trying.

"Calm down?" She nodded her head slowly-I'm guessing to debate whether to run or stay she chose to stay. "Calm down! You have got some nerve to tell me to calm down it's like telling you to wear grey and black and NO MAKEUP!" She gasped, "Yeah, so saying calm down is bull sh-" I was cut off by the sweet little six year old Angel. Oops!

"Please Maxie! It's just this once! I want you to be... what's the words -oh yeah!- 'smoking hot'!" Then she gave me the dreaded Bambi Eyes!

"Fine! Stop Just STOP!" I said shielding my eyes from looking at her.

Nudge came in "Thanks sister!" she said while high fiving her.

Then she gave me (cue the creepy music here) THE BIKINI!

I didn't even look at it until I got into the bathroom. It was a simple midnight blue bikini, the kind of ones you tie around your neck and your back, the only thing it had was a small black bow on both sides of the bottoms. THANK YOU GOD! Something almost human came out of her closet! I was grateful that she had that 'cause if she had given me a bikini that had 'HOT' written across the butt or anything like that heads would roll!

After I tied it around my neck I slipped a 'Paramore' band t-shirt (They rock) and denim shorts on. I walked into the hall, "Maxie will you give me a piggyback pwease?" Angel asked.

"Of course sweetie!" She then got on my back. "Ready?" I asked. She nodded her head and giggled when I nayed like a horse and said "For Narnia!" with a fist in the air. Then we galloped all the way to the pool.

"Time to get down Angel." I said still kind of catching my breathe. Seriously we went all the way down the stairs!

"Ok!" she said then jumped into the pool. She was wearing the cutest bathing suit, it was bright pink (which hurt my eyes!) and had a big blue butterfly on it.

Right now I was helping Ella and Nudge carry the towels to a table. Since they decided it was necessary to have three towels for each person. EACH. So we were each carrying seven. Ella tripped and fell into Iggy's arms after putting her towels on the table. They both blushed madly, "Thanks." She managed to get out.

I've had enough, seriously gag me with a spoon! (Not for real people I talk to in my head!) "Ugh enough of your lovey-dovey-ness!" I yelled and pushed them both into the pool. HA! Take that!

Ella got out and scowled at me. She threw off her shorts and tank top and turned to face a gaping Iggy. Oh he so better stop before I hurt him! She blushed and got into the pool. I gave him a look and he immediately stopped. Everyone was trying to suppress their laughter except for Angel who couldn't hold it in anymore. Every once and awhile while they played with Angel he would stare at her but only until he caught my eye then he would flinch and either go underwater or look at the ground. Then I remembered Gazzy and Iggy's secret plan.

Flashback

"Ugh!" I said looking up at thier ceiling. "Why me?"

"Hurry I want to see if I approve!" Nudge called from her bedroom.

I dropped on to my knees and held my arms up "WHAT DID I EVER DO TO DESERVE THIS!" I screamed.

"Stop complaining Max it will end in less than," Iggy looked at his watch then at Gazzy who now entered the room "about two hours."

"When I get downstairs You. Two. Will. Explain." I pointed a finger at them both. They gulped audibly and nodded.

And I want to know. So I walked to the edge of the pool where Iggy, Gazzy, Ella, Fang and Angel were sitting at. I sat right behind the two pyros and said "Ready to tell me your secret plan?" I whispered in their ears.

"AHHH!" They both screamed while trying to swim away. Angel was now sitting beside me and we both couldn't stop laughing. We high fived as she said,

"We should plan something together for later tonight!" She whispered. Then the angelical face of hers turned into a devious maniacal smile. I couldn't help myself... it made me shudder.

"Don't you have a bedtime?" I said with a smile.

"Nah! When friends are over I stay up till they do!" She said back with a smile. "So what do you say?"

"Team?" I asked.

"Team!" she declared happily then hugged me. She went back to Fang and Ella who were laughing (well chuckling for Fang) and got into the water again.

"Did you really have to do that Max?" Gazzy asked.

I pretended to think about it for a minute, "Yes!" I said.

"We will get revenge for making Gazzy here scream like a girl." Iggy said. Everyone but Iggy started cracking up. "What?"

"You screamed more like a girl then Angel!" Nudge said. "Actually more then the girls when Fang flips his hair or talks." Fang wasn't too happy with that comment but everyone else got pleasure to actually see emotion (like that none the less) and laughed.

"You really are a player aren't you?" I asked him. He huffed at me.

I don't like him for three reasons, 1. His first impression he pushed me to the ground, 2. He's a player and 3. BIGGEST EGO!

Nudge told me he hasn't kept a girlfriend for more than two weeks!

Jerk breaking girl's hearts like that.

The two boys walked over to me. "Want to hear the plan?" they said with mischievous smiles on their faces.

I nodded slowly and they pulled me over to the gazebo in the back. "We rigged a bomb that we put onto the filter. It will blow in exactly..." Iggy was counting in his head.

"Twenty-two minutes." Gazzy stated matter-of-a-fact-ly

"Yeah and once it does it will turn the water mud brown, then black after thirty seconds!" Iggy said. I might not even have to go in the water wearing a bikini at this rate!

Spoke to soon!

Iggy then threw me over his shoulder and I laughed and said put me down and pounded on his back.

"Now for revenge!" Iggy yelled and everyone watched.

I locked eyes with Fang for a second and saw... jealousy? In his eyes... no it wasn't jealousy I just imagined it. Yeah that's it!

"Fine," I said giving up and laughing as he adjusted me so he was carrying me bridal style. I leaned in and whispered in his ear, "just tell me when it's time." I was talking about the bomb.

Fang POV

I was a little jealous but I'm not sure why... Who am I kidding I have a crush on her! I don't know how because she dislikes me. It will pass though. I've had crushes before they always pass.

He then moved her so she was bridal style in his arms and she laughed harder. Then she leaned in and whispered something in his ear and I was fuming! I got out of the pool and sat on a lawn chair.

"Ok honey! I should be carrying you over the threshold first!" Iggy said face palming. "I'm so stupid!"

She laughed harder "You can't cheat on Ella!" She said. "But you are stupid!" Then they both stuck out their tongues simultaneously. Then he laughed with her.

"Ready?" He asked.

"Ugh yes sir!" She said and he threw her in.

Max POV

I plugged my nose as the water hit me.

He and Gazzy were laughing as I got to the ledge and made it look like I was getting out then grabbed their ankles and pulled them in.

I then got out still laughing.

I took my shirt and shorts off and turned around to see all three boys with their mouths open looking at me like I turned into a mutant freak!

I blushed a little honestly, just a little though.

I went to where the two were now sitting by the pool and I asked what they were looking at. They both stopped at once "NOTHING!" they said in unison and looked at the ground. Fang was still staring at me though.

I went over to the lawn chairs and sat beside him.

"Close your mouth or you'll catch flies." I said while putting two fingers under his chin and closing his mouth.

He blushed. BLUSHED! FANG BLUSHED!

Everyone laughed it was funny!

"FANGY HAS A CRUSH! FANGY HAS A CRUSH!" Iggy and Gazzy chanted.

"STOP! Fangy doesn't have a crush! Do you Fangy?" I said with a smirk.

"No I don't and besides I'm dating..." he said lost in thought trying to remember her name.

"Ugh" I said. "You are dating Cheryl!" I said fed up. But I kept it in.

"You are such A JERK!" I said. Ok I kept it in for another ten seconds.

"Max I want to show you something!" Iggy said. I looked at him questionly but he just tapped his wrist and I mouthed 'Now?' he nodded. I stood up. BOMB TIME! YAY!

Fang POV

I am going to prove to her that I am not a jerk.

She's the only girl who's now fainting at the sight of me.

She will like me by the end of the year. I'm sure of it. Even if it's just as a friend I will make her!

It won't be that hard since she only despises me... GRRR!

Iggy grabbed her hand and pulled her over to the two lawn chairs closest to the house. They were whispering quietly. Gazzy suggested we play pass in the pool so here we are all of us in the pool except for Iggy and Max talking and laughing every few seconds. How Ella wasn't jealous I have no idea.

Gazzy went to go get the ball a minute ago and now he's nowhere in sight.

The pool started changing color. I looked up and saw Gazzy laughing and watching as the three girls scream. Then I saw Iggy holding his hand out to Max which she gladly took and we locked eyes.

She mouthed 'sorry' but then Iggy told her something and she broke the gaze laughing. Then she nodded high fived and hugged him.

They walked into the house as Nudge screamed, "IGGY AND GAZZY YOU ARE SO GETTING IT!"

Iggy, Gazzy and Max poked their heads around the door and smiled. "Actually Nudge I knew about it too!" Nudge was about to yell, "But I didn't plan it. This is what you get for putting me in a bikini! I'm going to go change out of that now by the way! And the color disappears in twenty-four hours!"

And with that all three disappeared.

I walked in after drying and the Three Musketeers (as I call them now) were sitting in the living room, Gazzy on the floor, Iggy sitting on the couch and Max's legs propped on Iggy's lap as she laid across the couch. "We just want to say thanks, if you weren't Nudge's new best friend we would be tied to a tree right about now!" He sighed dramatically, "How they could do that to their best friends they've had since forever is beyond me but how they don't to their new ones! HUMPH!" Iggy said.

"Ah poor baby!" Max said, "But what are best friends for?" She said with a smile.

I threw a pillow at Iggy's head.

"I've been hit! AH FANG HOW COULD YOU!?" Iggy said holding his heart.

"I'm going to kill you two!" I said. All three stood up. Max looked like she was debating whether to split the scene or watch.

"EEK! Max help me!" Iggy said while running to hide behind her.

She turned and whispered something I couldn't hear to both Iggy and Gazzy who went to hide behind her too.

They both nodded a minute later.

They're up to something, something I'm not going to like.
