Hey guys,
UBERLONG CHAPTER!!
ITS EARTH DAY TODAY-LOL
sorry I didn't update earlier, we went away for the weekend. I'm giving u 2 chappies today to sorta make up for it.
By the way, if u noticed, I deleted the prologue. I think it was stopping people from reviewing my story, cuz it was a really boring prologue. LOL. I don't think anyone actually liked it, even me.

Laura.S-x: Hey! I GOT UR NAME RIGHT. ANyway, Thanks. I've always wanted someone to do that, but I've never found a fanfiction that actually used that so I thought, might as well use it myself. Lol. Yea she ran away, but he's gonna go after her. (SEE BELOW) Yea, sexual tension, lol. About the ages, they're almost sixteen. I think I mentioned it somewhere.

b) seeing as i gave u 2 chappies, i need TEN reviews for the next chapter, five for each chappie. THANKS! i won't review till i get that by the way!
Thanks
The reason i need this many reviews is that out of 1071 hits only 25 people reviewed. That is just sad. Once again, thankyou to those who actually bothered, it was really nice of you.
About my spelling (noones complained about that yet, but they will soon) if stuff is misspelled, it might be cause i live in Australia and I spell stuff differently to people in the UK and America. Sorry if that confuses slash bothers u but i can't change it. Once i was like, pep talking my self to make myself spell colour as color but couldn't do it. SORRY!
AnD SPOILER FOR MAX RIDE 5 DO NOT READ IF U GET OFFENDED OR WATEVER:
SPOILER BEGINS:
In an interview with James Patterson he says, and i quote:
THE QUESTION: Any romance for Max or Fang in Book 4?
THE ANSWER: Uhh, yeah. They're starting to get together those two. I can't leave them alone for a minute. And it keeps percolating right into book five. Percolating means delaying or preparing for by the way.
EXCITING!! Anyway
SPOILER ENDS--
This is in the POVs from the rest of the flock. LOL Its cuz one of my reviewers asked.
Disclaimer: All I own at the moment is my own body, several mandarin seeds and my treasured ipod. Max Ride was not included in that list. I don't even own the idea for this chapter. THAT belongs to maxridelvr357 . How sad!
This is gonna be fun –goes away into corner to evil laugh about embarrassing Max and Fang- MUAHAHAHA. Okay. I'll stop now…ON WITH THE STORY.
Chapter 8:
Gazzy POV:
Ewww. They were fully staring into each other's eyes. Disgusting. Gazzy thought it was fully obvious to everyone that they liked each other. He didn't mean that they were all over each other. Not in that way. But the way Fang's eyes sort of went all hazy and his cheeks coloured when he looked at Max. Or the way Max blushed and looked at the ground when Fang gave her his special smile.
The one he saved for Max.
They would stare at each other when they thought the other wasn't looking. And when they sat next to each other, even though Max was the only one that could make Fang talk (or shout) they didn't need to use words. They sort of just, knew what the other was thinking.
Gazzy didn't know much about love, but from what he had seen, this is what he thought it should be like.
Nudge POV:
Nudge was excited. They really had to go shopping in France. They had to show the boys all the French pastries, and the French shops. They had to show them the Eiffel Towel. She meant Tower. Even though Max had told Nudge a million times not to use the words have to Nudge still used them. She couldn't wait!
Nudge had been reading stuff online about France. And French words. She decided to ask Gazzy to get Max to let them go shopping. Gazzy was more believable when it came to convincing Max they needed to go shopping.
He came back sooner than they had expected. Maybe Max was in a good mood. Then again.
Gazzy looked sort of shocked, dazed. Yet sorta enlightened at the same time. Come to think about it, Angel had the same look on her face. But more enlightened than Gazzy. Actually, it looked a lot like that of a Mother at a wedding. So proud. Huh. She would get it out of Gazzy later. Actually, Angel. Gazzy was more secretive. Comes of hiding all those bombs with Iggy. Angel grinned.
It'll be easier to find out than you think.
Fang POV:
They arrived at the mall and Fang immediately felt claustrophobic. There were so many people, so many possibilities of capture. It was terrifying; he had to get out of there. But then, Max wanted to go so there he was. Like he'd said before, he would follow her into a volcano. A mall wasn't that hard to manage.
Iggy looked scared, he was nudging shoulders with Gazzy as he tried to get his bearings. Nudge was holding Fangs hand on his right and Angel was on Max's left. With a jolt, Fang realized they would look like two parents with children. He smiled inside. That was the future he wanted with Max.
Angel must have told Max what he was thinking because she started, tensed and looked up at him. He shot her a grin and she blushed, looking down at the ground. She sighed and inched away from him.
This was going to be a long shopping trip.
Angel POV:
It was so sweet! They were walking next to each other just like parents. Angel was reading the minds of the people around them. They were all thinking what a cute family they Max, Fang and the younger kids were.
Max was tense and trying to inch away from Fang, Fang was thinking about how beautiful Max was when she blushed and they were both fighting reason to convince themselves that it would be okay to kiss. Iggy was right. There was tension. Angel had no idea what SEXUAL tension was but there was definitely the usual kind.
They were both so stubborn, so pessimistic. Trained to examine every situation, to think through the possible incomes, to never give in, even under pressure. Max was so paranoid, she was afraid of what could happen, how vulnerable it would make them, yet another distraction. Fang wanted to convince her, but he too didn't want to open up so fully. He didn't want to 'rip out his heart and give any more of it to Max than he already had.'
He was scared, that was true. Fang had never been scared before as far as Angel knew. Even at the school when they had fights to the death, he had confidence in Max, confidence that they would make it out. But now he didn't want Max to 'reject' him. Angel knew from what Fang called the 'cave incident' that Max had flown away. Maybe that was what Fang meant by reject. Except bigger.
But then two human-wannabes strolled into the mall. Angel sucked in a breath so fast her saliva stuck in her throat and she almost choked. Max was already issuing orders in a quiet voice.
'U &A guys, we haven't got much of a chance against them one on one and I don't want our pyros to blow up the mall. If the sliding doors don't open in time fly through them.'
That was the funny thing about those human-wannabe things. They all looked different. The only things distinguishing them were their watches and greasy hair. But so far, they had only seen males. They'd probably see females soon; it wouldn't take Itex too long. Female, version 2.1 coming to a store near you soon!
Iggy POV:
One by one, they flew through the sliding doors, with a huge crash, and glass sprayed everywhere, casting dozens of sparkling rainbows over the floor. They gave a whole new meaning to going out with a bang, Iggy thought with a wry grin.
Now they were eating roast pigeon. Fang had caught it, Max had plucked it, and Iggy had cooked it. With various details in between. Delicious, medium rare.
Max stiffened and Iggy immediately whipped his head around looked in her direction. She sighed and gritted her teeth and Iggy knew it was the Voice. Iggy shook his head and lay down, drifting into a light sleep, one ear uncovered, so as to listen out.
He was woken by loud voices. Max and Fang's voices.
'Oh, so we just kick back and relax, send the whitecoats an email telling them to put off ruling the world for a couple of weeks.' Max snapped. 'Not that they'll agree, so we'll be chilling on a tropical island somewhere, drinking coconut milk while the rest of the world is dying because you wanted to take a break.'
Iggy didn't know how Fang could stand it. That was Max's most venomous voice, the one she saved for whitecoats. Iggy could practically imagine her face as she hissed in anger. Note the word practically.
God he hated it when Max and Fang fought. It affected the whole flock. He wished they would just get over themselves and accept their feelings for each other. The rest of the flock was awake by now. Nudge, Gaz and Angel were all crying softly.
'How can you keep doing this? Yeah, your voice wants you to save the world, but have you thought about us, about how we feel. Not that we have feelings of course. To you, we're just robots, slaves. Like you'd care.'
Ouch. Iggy had to admit, that would've hurt. Even Gazzy had gasped. How could Fang say that? Max practically gave up her own life to look after them, she protected them no matter what, and that was all Fang could say? Couldn't he see how hard Max tried, for all of them. He had thought Max and Fang were so close, he hadn't realized they could even have fights like this. They acted so synchronized most of the time, agreeing on practically everything. Even when they split up, they hadn't shouted in front of the flock.
Then Iggy heard a strange sound, like a hand connecting with flesh. Even as he realized that Max had slapped Fang, he was hearing a different array of sounds.
The sounds of kissing.
After ages of that, and Iggy standing in absolute and total shock, he heard running feet, two pairs of wings opening, a distant thud and a shriek.
Then silence.
