Max plodded through the hall and slammed her side into the door, causing it to swing open. She was greeted by two boys springing to their feet, fists raised. "Hey," she grunted as she shuffled in the room, followed by 3 sopping kids and one sopping dog, all grinning from ear to ear.

"I'm gonna go take a shower," Fang mumbled as he grabbed a towel and some cleaner clothes and sped into the bathroom, keeping his head down the entire way.

Max flopped over onto the bed, as Iggy turned to Angel, Nudge, Total and Gazzy. "Anybody want to go to the park?" he said cheerfully.

Four pairs of eyes lit up. "Mmwyph mymm mmak?" came the muffled response from the bed.

"We don't speak 'I'm tired as crap'," Iggy said, tossing a pillow on her head.

"I said; Why are you taking them to the park?"

"Give you a break," he said, sheparding the three smiling kids our the door.

Max didn't object, but collapsed on the bed once again, head reeling. Fang filled her thoughts and she moaned. What was he to her? He was a best friend. A brother. Nothing more. But when he had kissed her, last night, this morning, all the times before, it was the sweetest sensation, and so… right. But it wasn't right. Couldn't be. This was Fang for god's sakes! Thoughts kept darting through her head as she drifted off.

Fang was there, and Iggy, and they were in the snow. They seemed to be under the second level of a ski lodge, the snow hard and icy, and a gap barely enough to squeeze under was the only way out. Snowboards and skis surrounded them, and Iggy's voice echoed as he gave instructions that Max didn't hear. "Fang, you first," Iggy said before he gave a short blow on a whistle.

Erasers started crawling through the gap as Fang grabbed a ski and began to uselessly hit them, over and over, not putting any muscle or effort behind it. Almost immediately Iggy blew the whistle again and Max stepped forward, twirling a ski like a baton. Fang stepped out of the way as the Erasers swarmed under the gap, all much bigger than Fang's had been. It seemed almost too easy, hitting the Erasers, taking out all her pent up anger out on her unfortunate victims.

Bodies littered the snowy, ground as Max stuck her ski forcefully upright in the snow, "And that's how you kick someone's ass using a ski," she said smugly.

Fang looked ready to kill someone, but his face drooped and he fell on the ground crying. Max stood there unable to do anything as voices, Iggy's, Nudge's, Angel's and even Gazzy's yelled advice in her ear.

Suddenly it was too small. Max needed to get out of the space, so she flung her body through the narrow gap, snow falling on top of her as she struggled out, but was unable to move.

Max was thrashing, on the floor now, having fallen off of the bed, but the blankets were still tangled around her limbs. She stopped moving immediately when she realized she was just making the problem worse, and tentatively opened her eyes, almost sure she would find a concerned Fang, kneeling over her.

Close. Fang was still wet, lacking a shirt, almost over to her side, but he hadn't been quite fast enough. "I'm fine!" Max said as she popped up from the floor, untangling the blanket from her body. "Just had a weird dream." Fang raised his eyebrows skeptically, before turning away, back to the bathroom.

"Wait!" Max shouted, before realizing what she had done. Fang stopped in his tracks and did a one eighty to face her. "Sorry," she said dropping her gaze and turning bright red. Fang didn't move for a moment, but she felt a cool hand take hers.

Max looked up, and into Fang's eyes. They had something she had barely seen in them. They looked needy, wanting, something completely un-Fang-like. His hair was slowly dripping down his back and onto his chest, where her other hand fell absentmindedly. Fang was getting closer, and soon his hair was dripping onto Max's shirt as well.

Max closed her eyes, and stood passively as Fang drew nearer, until she could feel his breath on her lips.

He paused, so close, almost tempting her, mostly testing himself. He slowly touched his lips to hers, slowly progressing as Max began to kiss him back.

A/N: And I'll leave it at that. I have been working people I swear! Busy with school busy with family over the break, and busy actually taking a break. I was going to add more, but I thought everyone had already probably thought I died or something and rereading it I kinda like it there. That and I'm too lazy…hehehehe. I might write more to this… if I have time and ideas… on another note: I actually have had a dream like this, it was just weirder and not as max ridey. And there was no Fang, which made me a bit sad. :(
