My Rockstar Life Chapter 4 Pinkie and Barbie, a maximum ride fanfic

Disclaimer: No matter how many times I send James Patterson a letter asking for ownership of the Maximum Ride series, each time he will say no. So sadly, I do not own Maximum Ride –cry-

"Hey Mom! We're home and we brought an unwanted guest!" I shouted as we got home. No answer, Mom must be at work.

"Geez Max, you know how to make a guy feel loved." Fang said, rolling his eyes.

"Be happy I didn't crash the car." I muttered dragging him to the kitchen. My mouth started to water when I saw the cookies on table with a note on it. I ran to the cookies, Fang stumbling behind me. I picked up the note and read it quickly it said, 'Max, these are for you. Please don't finish them before dinner.' Well, screw it.

I dove at it and began shoveling the cookies in. Ella just shook her head once more and left. Nudge just followed her.

"No, don't leave me with this!" Fang shouted after her but she just chuckled in response. "Well, the least you can do is give me a cookie, too." Fang said, sitting down next to me, not like he had another choice.

I grumbled and handed him one of my precious cookies, be safe my little precious. Fang took a bite of the cookie and grumbled.

"I don't see why you love- Holy cow, that's a good cookie." Fang said, with wide eyes. I nodded and we both began to eat the cookies ferociously. We finished the whole plate in ten minutes and then we both sat back.

"So how are we going to get these handcuffs off?" Fang asked, rubbing his stomach. It looked pretty stupid, but then again I was doing the same thing.

"I don-"I began but then I burped loudly. I covered my mouth with my hand and Fang began to laugh.

"Phew, Max what did you eat? The drive-thru at Garbage Mania?" Fang said, covering his nose. I glared at him.

"Shut up." I mumbled, "But as I was saying, we have to wait for my dad to come home and crap!" I said realizing something. "Shit shit shit! Fang get off your ass now!"

I shot up and ran to the counter, Fang following me.

"What happened?" He asked. He seriously forgot?

"We forgot our siblings!" I cried and his widened. He swore and grabbed the keys. "Ella we'll be back!" I shouted and we ran to the car. We shot in (the same way got in before) and drove (the same way as before) to Abby's school.

"Abby! Sorry, I was busy!" Fang shouted as Abby climbed in.

"Yeah, I thought you forgot about me." Abby said quietly. Poor girl must've been really scared.

"I'm sorry kiddo, but Maxie here, held me up." Fang said pointing to me. Hey, I take offense. Abby hadn't noticed me until now but then she brightened up.

"Max, you're here!" Abby said, giving me a hug,

"Yeah Abby. I was kind of forced to. I'll explain why later. Now put on your seatbelt, we have to pick up my brother and sister. No questions." I ordered and she did what I said. We quickly drove to the private school and pulled up to the front.

"Mrs. Ryan! I'm over here!" I shouted and the fourth grade teacher looked at me.

"Max, there you are! I was wondering what happened! Angel and Gazzy were getting really worried." Mrs. Ryan said, coming up to the car, with Gazzy and Angel in tow.

"Yeah sorry, I got a little held up." I said, showing her the handcuffs. "It's a long story, but I'm here now. Angel and Gazzy get in the car and be nice to Abby." I said and they nodded.

"Oh dear, well I guess you're here now. Just don't let it happen again." She said and I nodded.

"Angel, Gazzy meet Abby. Abby meet my brother and sister Gazzy and Angel." I said, giving them a quick introduction. They said hi and began to talk.

"Max, why are you handcuffed to Fang?" Angel asked. Gazzy and Abby nodded in agreement.

"Well I did the same to Nudge and Jordan and so to get me back, they did the same to me with Fang and took the key. That reminds me, Nudge is at my house! We can get the key!" I said excitedly and Fang smirked.

"Oh this is going to be fun. How should we get it back, oh wise one?" Fang said and I laughed evilly. I enjoy these kinds of assignments.

"Oh the possibilities are endless." I said an evil glint in my eye.

Gazzy got up and whispered in Fang's ear, "Be scared when she's like this. Last time she's like this, my underwear ended up on the flagpole of my school." Angel snickered at the memory and Fang raised an eyebrow.

"What! He blew up my underwear!" I said, and he kept hi eyebrow up. "Iggy and Gazzy like to blow stuff up." Fang looked at me and I sighed, "Keep your eyes on the road." He chuckled and did so.

…

"I'm bored!" I whined as Fang and I sat on the couch, watching some crap show.

"Well what do you want me to do?" Fang said, flipping through the channels.

"I don't know! Something, anything!" I cried. I was so bored I would even jump off a cliff to entertain myself. I groaned and lied down on Fang's stomach. Well, it was either that or lie down the other way and have my arm stretched out in an awkward way. We were still handcuffed because Nudge threw the damn key out the window at school.

"Um Max?" Fang said awkwardly.

"What?" I shouted.

"You're on my stomach." Fang said.

"No! I didn't realize that!" I said sarcastically. "It was either your stomach or have my arm stretched in a weird way, so shut up and deal with. And seriously, lay off the French fries." I teased, poking his stomach. Fang laughed and continued to surf the channels. Fang found Comedy Central and we began to watch. Fang put the remote down and put his hand (the one that wasn't handcuffed) on my head and stroked my hair.

I'll pretend he wasn't doing that and focus on the show. I have to say (and mind you, after this I'm probably going to commit suicide) this was actually very comfortable. My head on Fang's stomach, his hand running through my hair, laughing at the jokes, it made me feel… at home.

I'm checking into a mental hospital tomorrow.

The phone rang and I jumped up.

"Entertaiment!" I shouted as I ran to the phone. Fang was chuckling behind me and I slapped his head, he shut up. "Hello?" I said into the phone.

"Hey Max! Are you ready?" Kelsey asked. Oh yeah the auditions are today!

"Shit no! Um, pick me up in twenty!" I said quickly.

"Why twenty, how long does it take you to change? Wait, your still handcuffed to him aren't you?" Kelsey asked.

"Yup, and tell Jordan to shut his pothole." I said as I heard him laughing in the background.

"Okay, hurry up!" Kelsey said, hanging up.

"What's going on?" Fang asked as I dragged him to my room.

"Auditions for a new keyboarder are today. I need to change so we are going to do what we did during Gym." I said, while tearing through my closet to find something to wear.

"Ooh, more changing!" Fang said giddily. I stopped searching through my closet to smack him. "Okay, changing equals bad" Fang said, rubbing his cheek.

"Good boy." I said, throwing clothes out of my closet. Fang bent down and picked up a shirt.

"How about this one?" He said holding it up. It was my purple zebra top, with on spaghetti strap and one half sleeve.

"Perfect Fang!" I said and I grabbed a pair of my sea green skinny jeans and ran into the bathroom. Fang smirked and didn't turn around. I groaned and spun him around, but sadly he was facing the mirror now, well I was behind him so he could drool over himself. I ripped my shirt off (not literally) and threw on the purple one. I quickly changed my pants and brushed my hair until it was pencil straight. I grabbed a belt because these pants were big from me and quickly put it on. I slapped on some chap stick, threw on my key necklace and shark tooth earrings and dragged Fang out of the bathroom.

"I see you like fangs." Fang joked and we waited for Kelsey to come to pick me (us) up.

"Ella, Kelsey is coming to pick Fang and me up for the auditions! Make sure Nudge doesn't bleed someone's ear off and Gazzy stays out of jail! Same with Iggy, when he comes back! And no doll parts should be on the floor when I come home!" I shouted up.

"Thanks for having so much faith in me Max!" Gazzy shouted.

"Your welcome!" I shouted back. Ella wasn't coming with us for the audition because she had too much school crap to do, so we have to choose without her. I heard a honk, meaning Kelsey was here.

"Come on Fang!" I shouted and dragged him to Kelsey's awaiting car. Kelsey stood leaning on the side of her car, wearing a striped T-shirt that said, 'The Next Big Thing', yellow skinny jeans, yellow flats, a brown belt, and a bunch of fat rubber bracelets, green eye liner, silver eye shadow, lip gloss and a star necklace.

"Okay we are here!" I announced and Kelsey rolled her eyes.

"So did you enjoy changing?" She taunted and before I could retort, Fang responded.

"Actually, she started to change but then we started to make-out" He said, smirking. Kelsey snickered and I elbowed him where it hurts. He doubled over, clutching his crotch with both hands, I turned my hand away.

"Ignore the pain in the ass I'm stuck with." I said, climbing into the backseat, in which Jordan was already sitting in.

"Hi Maxie! Do I get a kiss?" Jordan asked, holding his arms out. I slapped his arms away.

"Keep dreaming Jordan." I said and I sat down, Fang right next to me, of course.

"Aw Maxie, you bruise my ego." Jordan said, putting a hand over his heart.

"Yeah she does that." Fang said and I smiled.

"Yup, and I enjoy every single blow." I said, smiling like the Joker.

"Bitch." Jordan muttered. I feigned hurt and placed a hand over my heart.

"Jordan!" I gasped, and then I put my head down and pretended to cry. Now you should know I'm a good actor, as in scary good as in I can make tears come out of my eyes. I made tears form and fall. I shook my shoulders and made sobbing sounds.

"Dude, you made her cry!" Fang said, rubbing my back, "Max it's okay, he didn't mean it." He said, trying to calm me down. This just made me shake even harder, except in laughter. "Aren't you going to apologize?" Fang asked, I could practically hear his glare.

"Nope and you'll see why in five…four…three…two…one" He counted down and when he hit one, I couldn't help it. I threw my head back and laughed like there was no tomorrow.

"What? Why are you laughing?" Fang said, obviously confused.

"You-you t-though I was….crying… I… never….cry…you….fell…f-for…my…t-trick." I said laughing so hard my sides hurt.

"What? I'm confused." Fang said, the confusion was so obvious in his eyes that it made me laugh even harder.

"Dude, she's a freaky good actor. She can make tears come out of her eyes. She was acting the whole time!" Jordan explained, snickering.

"You- you tricked me?" Fang exclaimed. I just nodded and wiped the tears from my eyes.

"Well then!" He said and turned away from me. Aw shit, he was mad at me. Wait, why did I care if he was mad at me? Then he wouldn't annoy me with his annoying remarks! Isn't that what I wanted all day?

But it didn't feel right, having Fang be mad at me. It made me feel…. I don't know how I felt really, my stomach clenched and I felt kind of empty and sad. I didn't like it all. Oh god, what was I turning into?

Oh well, I'll fight it later, right now I have to get rid of this feeling, "Fang, look I'm sorry. But you have to admit, it was pretty funny." I said, putting my hand on his shoulder, and then I felt his shoulder shake. That little dweeb was laughing at me.

"Ugh!" I said, taking my hand off his shoulder and turning away from him, but that didn't work out considering I then had to face Jordan. Argh, surrounded by idiots.

I huffed and crossed my arms, "Aw Maxie, do that again! It was so attractive!" Jordan joked. I glared at him, but didn't turn away.

"Wow, this is very amusing." Kelsey said from the front seat. I flipped her the bird and continued to silently fume.

"Okay kiddies, we are here. Okay, when you guys leave the car, hold each other's hands and look both ways before you cross! Stay together!" Kelsey said, as if she were talking to five year olds.

"Kelsey, we're not five." Jordan said, voicing out what I was thinking.

"Well, if you're going to act like one, then I'm going to treat you like one!" Kelsey scolded, pretending to be an upset mother.

"But it wasn't me! It was Fang and Max!" Jordan whined, way to kill a cause, buddy.

"Too bad, now Jordan, you hold Max's hand, Max you hold Fang's hand and I'm going to hold Jordan's." Kelsey said, linking our hands. We grumbled but didn't let go.

"Why is she treating us like this?" Fang whispered.

"I'm not talking to you." I said back, holding my head up and walking. "Kelsey, why can't you hold Fang's hand, too? If I have to hold it, you should, too!" I complained. Wow, we really are killing our cause here.

"I would but I don't know what you two were doing in that bathroom." Kelsey snickered. I turned crimson and Fang snickered.

"Argh, I swear once I get this handcuff off I will kill you all!" I shrieked and stomped ahead, dragging everyone with me. Jordan let go of my hand, separating him and Kelsey from Fang and I. I was too mad too notice the car heading right for me, with a passed out driver.

"Max!" Fang shouted and I stopped and looked to my right. I saw the drunk driver and I froze. The phrase deer in headlights would be used to describe my actions right then. The car was only about six inches away from me when I felt a tug on my hand and I was pulled out of the way. I was sent into a hard chest and I crashed into the person, with such a force that we both stumbled a bit. A strong arm wrapped around me as I cried.

I almost died. I almost fucking died. Holy crap, I was shocked. I cried, for real this time, while the person whispered soothing words in my ear, while stroking my head.

"Holy shits, Max are you okay?" I heard a worried voice say, I looked up and saw Kelsey and Jordan right next to me, worry in their eyes.

I just cried harder and buried my head in the person's (who I'm assuming is Fang) chest.

"Max shit why are you crying so much?" I heard Jordan ask. They didn't know, I didn't tell them. I should tell them…

"I-Inside." I said and we headed inside, carefully this time, well I couldn't walk, I was still in shock (well kind of) so Fang had to carry me, while I was crying.

"Okay Max what happened?" Kelsey asked, kneeling right next to me.

I took a breath and tried to calm down, "W-When I was s-mall, a-about s-six-" Jordan cut me off.

"Look calm down first, then tell us." He said, bringing me a glass of water. I took it gratefully and drank it.

"Hey Fang can you tell the people that they have to wait a little longer?" Kelsey asked but Fang gave her the look, "Oh yeah, I'll go do it."

Kelsey got up and left. I took a few deep breaths, Fang squeezed my hand and Jordan rubbed my back. Kelsey came back and took my other hand.

"You good now?" Kelsey asked, but I shook my head.

"Ella." I croaked out and she nodded. She got up and called Ella and told her to come over, fast. We waited for Ella came and Kelsey, Jordan and Fang tried to calm me down.

"Hey guys, I came as fast as I could! What happened?" Ella said, barging into the building.

"I don't know, Max was almost hit by a drunk driver and now she's freaking out." Jordan said, looking at Ella.

"Oh no, not again." Ella murmured. They all looked at her with confusion.

"Again? What are you talking about?" Fang asked, not leaving my side.

"I think that's up to Max to tell you, if she can. Can you tell them?" Ella asked, coming over to me. I gave her a big hug, "Sh, Max its okay. Can you tell them what happened or should I?" She asked, burying her head in my hair.

"You tell them." I managed to say, before bursting into tears again.

She comforted me and sat by my side.

"Okay, here's what happened. First thing is Max and I are half-sisters, not full-blooded sisters. We have the same dad but different moms. Her dad and my mom had a one-night stand when Max was two, after him and her mom had a really bad fight. He had gotten drunk and did it with my mom. She became pregnant and had me, but she died at childbirth, so he took me under his wing, like a real father would, that's why I don't hate him. So anyway, Max and her real mom were really close.

They would do everything together, they were best friends and they shared a bond that mothers and daughters don't have nowadays. One day, when Max was eight, I was six, Max was at her friend's house across the street, so around ten, her mom went to pick her up. She crossed the street by foot and picked up Max.

They were crossing the street when a car crashed into them. It was a drunk driver returning home to get something. M-"Ella said but I cut her off. This is where I had to take over. She wasn't there when this happened.

"I'm going to take over from here, I have to. When the car crashed into us, I had seen it coming, but I was too scared to speak. It was supposed to hit me, but my mom pushed me out of the way and she got hit. She died on impact.

It was really terrifying, it was pitch dark and then in slow motion I saw this car rushing towards me, headlights bright, a sluggish, ugly and half-conscious face in the driver's seat. I was only eight; I was too scared to breathe. My mom, s-she saved me. And today, when the car came towards me again, I w-was back on that s-street, eight years old and scared." I explained. Everyone was silent, taking in the dark secret of my past.

"So your mom now is your step mom?" Fang asked and Ella and I nodded. Ella had tears forming in her eyes and I was still spilling my tears.

"Hey Maxie, it's okay. You're alive and you have me and my sexiness." Jordan said, trying to lighten the mood. I laughed and smacked his head.

"Jordan shut up." I said and then a song formed in my head. I gasped on got up. I shot towards the table, Fang hopelessly stumbling behind me. I got to the desk and took out a paper and pen and wrote something down fast.

"Jordan, you just got your own song." I said, smiling turning around. I handed him the sheet of paper and he read it over, Kelsey and Ella reading it over his shoulder.

"Max, this is definitely different than other songs and it's personal. Are you sure you want us to perform this?" Kelsey asked, frowning.

"Yeah, because we're not the only ones who lost someone in a drunk driving accident." I said firmly, wiping my tears away.

"Max, what about the auditions?" Fang reminded me. Shit, I forgot about those.

"We are going to postpone them, we need to rehearse." I said and I walked to the waiting people in the other room.

"Hi guys, I'm sorry, but the auditions are postponed until next Thursday. I'm sorry but something came up." I said and everyone groaned and left.

"Okay well that's taken care of," I said turning to Fang.

"Yup, so I guess I get to watch a rehearsal live, lucky me." Fang joked.

"Oh god it's going to be hard to play with a third hand. Stay out of the way." I joked. We laughed and were about to head back to the others but I said, "Oh and Fang?"

He turned to face me, "Hm?" He asked. I walked to him and stood and my tippy-toes and gave him and quick kiss on his cheek.

"Thanks for being there." I said quietly and he nodded his cheeks a light shade of pink. We walked back to the others who were reading the sheet music for the new song.

"Okay guys, let's practice!" I said and we jumped towards our instruments. I picked up my guitar and threw it on. "Stay out of the way, Fang." I warned and we began to play.

"The music played with a common frequency. The speakers gently seeped the sound of ambient keyboards and light percussion, creating a seductive soundtrack to our midnight drive through curtains of blackness. The windows were cold to the touch, reflecting the icy conditions in our immediate extremity. Salt stains and fingerprints littered the glass, and streets with melted snow cascaded down its length. The music pulsed louder, yet gentle, like the far away squeal of a pot of boiling water. The skylight was glowing faintly with a vague hint of an impending dawn.
The car raced along a painfully straight stretch of road, and she hadn't so much as turned the steering wheel two degrees in the past twenty minutes,
or hardly spoken.

As we were, so perfect, so happy. I'll remember, only our smiles because that's all they've seen. Long since dried, when we are found, are the tears in which we had drowned. As we were, so perfect, so happy.

'Why are you doing this?' she spoke without expecting a response. Her voice penetrated the still air of our speechless drive, so silent my heart had jumped. 'I'm not doing anything,' I said, but I didn't even believe that myself. 'This is what's best, for me, for you, for us, or maybe just for me, 'I thought, as a tear formed in the pit of her eye. The music poured through the speakers and we were losing ourselves in the cadence. She looked down momentarily and closed her eyes for a bit longer than a standard blink. Then she was crying. Then she was shouting. Then I was shouting, now pouring confessions, having no answers, or solutions, and we barely could even hear the questions.

Don't put me underground, I was meant for a life somewhere else. Please Lord give me the way out before both of us haunt you. We'll steal tonight. (We'll steal tonight.)

As we were, so perfect, so happy. Don't remember, only your smiles because that's all they've seen. Long since dried, when we are found, are the tears in which we had drowned. As we were, so perfect, so happy.

Our cracking voices became part of the music. The car pressed on faster through he night. As our voices lowered,
the cadence again overtook the air. Up ahead there was a curve approaching. She made no indications of slowing." Jordan sang/said, while drumming.

[The Approaching Curve: Rise Against]

We finished playing, without me/Fang making too many mistakes, and even though this was a really different way to sing a song, it came out good.

"Wow that was cool." Ella spoke up, breaking the ice tension that had formed when we ended, each of us wondering what the rest of us thought.

"Yeah, I think the audience will like it, especially since their ears didn't fall off from having to hear Jordan sing." Kelsey teased gently. We laughed and Jordan stuck his tongue out at us.

"Okay, so do you guys want to practice some more or should we call it a day?" I asked them, looking at each of them.

"Well, since we started, might as well make this an official rehearsal." Ella said, shrugging.

"Don't you have homework? And what about Nudge?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh, I finished that and Nudge is watching over Angel, Gazzy and Abby." Ella said, Fang and I nodded.

"Well, okay then! Let's get this show on the road! And Fang try not to make me mess up this time." I said looking pointedly at him. He just smirked and I sighed. I really hope we would get these handcuffs off soon, he was getting annoying. But also, I was also kind of sad, because I was surprisingly enjoying my time with Fang. Oh well, like they say: All good things must come to an end.

Wait? Did I say this was a good thing? Ignore that, I was hallucinating.

"Okay, let's start from the beginning of Top of The World." I said and we began to play.

"Is there anybody out there?
That wakes up with a bitter taste?
It's a king that we put up there
And he's a short way to fall from race

It's slowly filling upward.
You can stand but you have no ground.
I hear it from the lost words.
They say it's time that you lost your crown.

Don't be so greedy.
A dollar's a penny to you
When hearts are beating
Say what you want 'em to do.
Wasting away... I see you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Finding a day, don't wanna be you
When the top of the world falls on you

Is there anybody out there?
That can see what a man can change?
It's better that you don't care
Because he knows that he's in his stage
I feel the paranoia.
When there's a time, put you in your place
In the eyes of those who watch ya
Well they can wait 'til you hit your face

Don't be so greedy.
A dollar's a penny to you
When hearts are beating
Say what you want 'em to do.
Wasting away... I see you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Finally a day, don't wanna be you.
When the top of the world falls on you

Paint yourself a picture
When you waste another picture
And you win, and you win, and you win
Paint yourself a picture
And then you break another picture
And you win, and you win, and you win
And you win, yeah you win, and you win

Don't be so greedy
A dollar's a penny to you
When hearts stop beating
Say what you want 'em to do
Wasting away... I see you
When the top of the world falls on you
Finding a day, don't wanna be you
When the top of the world falls on you

Wasting away... I see you
When the top of the world falls on you
Finding a day, don't wanna be you
When the top of the world falls on you"

[Top Of The World: All-American Rejects]

"Okay, what song should we do next?" I asked, trying to stop Fang from messing with my guitar. "Gr, stop it Fang!" I said swatting his hand away, he, in return, just snickered.

"How about Hit The Lights?" Ella suggested. I groaned; you see Hit the Lights is probably one of the only pop songs we have because Ella suggested having a few might help increase our audience, it worked, but I wasn't happy when we agreed to play it once in a while. Wait, the instrument mainly played was keyboard! Ha!

"We can't because the main instrument is keyboard and if you hadn't noticed, Rodger is in Yakima!" I said smirking victoriously.

"I know how to play keyboard." Fang offered. I turned around and gaped at him in shock.

"You want to play a pop song?" I shrieked. He just smirked some more.

"Nope, but I want to see you suffer through singing it." He said and he headed to the keyboard. I groaned and followed him, dragging my mic with me.

"I say we let him try." Kelsey said, shrugging. I said her look saying, 'What the hell? Are you trying to ruin my life?' She just chuckled, handed him Rodger's sheet music for the song and we began to play. I grumbled and sang along grudgingly.

"It's the boy you never told I like you
It's the girl you let get away
It's the one you saw that day on the train
But you freaked out and walked away
It's the plane you wanna catch to Vegas
Things you swear you'll do before you die
It's the city of love that waits for you
But you're too damn scared to fly

Hit the lights, let the music move you
Lose yourself tonight, come alive
Let the moment take you, lose control tonight
Hit the lights, let the music move you
Lose yourself tonight, come alive
Let the moment take you, lose control tonight

It's the time that you totally screwed up
Still you're trying get it out your brain
It's the fight you had when you didn't make up
It's the past that you're dying to change
It's all the money the you're saving
While the good life passes by
It's all the dreams that never came true
'cause you're too damn scared to try

It's a mad mad world, gotta make an escape
It's a perfect world, when you go all the way
Hit the lights, let the music move you
Lose yourself tonight

So let's go go go go
All the way, yeah let's go go go
Night and day, from the floor to the rafters
People raise your glasses
We could dance forever

[Hit the Lights: Selena Gomez]

"There happy?" I asked grumpily, surprisingly Fang played pretty well.

"Very." Fang said, smirking. I growled and hissed at him, "Whoa, someone's a feisty kitty." He said, petting my head. I just glared at him some more.

"Hey Fang you're pretty good. Do you want to join the band?" Jordan asked, looking serious for once in his life. I shook my head vigorously, what was he thinking? Fang cannot join the band, my life would be miserable!

"Sure, why not?" He replied nonchalantly. No no no! My mouth dropped open and hit the floor. Oh crap…

"But why?" I whined, pouting. Jordan, Kelsey and Ella snickered and I flipped them the bird.

Fang smirked and replied, "Because I want to, is that so bad?"

"Yeah, because then you have to deal with me a lot more often!" I pointed out, hoping he would drop out because of that. Sadly, that just got the opposite reaction from him.

"That's why I joined, so I get to annoy you more!" He said, grinning, giving me big bear hug. I groaned, broke free of his grasp, walked over to a wall and started banging my head against it hoping I would pass out and wake up and find out that this was just a terrible dream.

But sadly, I was awake and so was Fang because he just had to say, "I understand having me and my awesome sexiness is just too much to handle." I stopped banging my head and looked at him like his skin turned pink. Wait no, if his skin turned pink, I would be laughing my ass off.

No, I looked at him like he just grew wings. (AN: I had to!)

"What did you just say? You and your sexiness? Yeah, that's like saying the boy's bathroom on the second floor at school is the cleanest, non-stinking place in the world! Or that our school food is actually edible!" I cried, throwing all three of my hands (yes three, don't forget Fang's that's handcuffed to mine) in the air.

"Wow Max, you really know to wound someone's pride." Fang sneered. I glared at him and kneed him where it hurts. What? He was asking for it all day! I huffed and walked towards the snack table, brining Mr. Penguin with me, you know, because he wears black, his skin is kind of like white and he's waddling.

Jordan grimaced, Ella gasped and put her hand on her mouth, and Kelsey laughed. Fang just loves irritating me today so he said, "Hey Max I have a boo-boo, can you kiss it and make it all better?" He said, and I could tell he was smirking.

I didn't even look back at him and said calmly, "Or how about instead, I knee it again, except this time much harder?" I turned around and smiled proudly when I saw his pale face, I patted his cheek, "Good boy, you did the right thing by shutting your pothole."

"Hey Max how do you that the boy's bathroom stinks?" Kelsey asked curiously. I laughed at memory; Jordan and I were at our usual spat when Jordan dared me to go into the boy's bathroom on the second floor. He was going on how I was too chicken and wouldn't tell me why I would be scared of the bathroom, so I did it and regretted it.

First of all, this dude who was stalking me at the time came in and started to… let's just say I was suspended for a week after that and plus, that room stinks, I mean worse than Gazzy and remember I said that his gas could be stronger than nuclear power.

In reply I shrugged and pointed to Jordan, "Ask him" Short and sweet, just how I like it… wait… I don't like it short and sweet, I like just the right amount that answers all your questions and doesn't leave you wondering. Fang likes short and sweet… oh no… a day stuck to Fang is turning me into him! Shit…

"I'm not going to ask then…" Kelsey said shaking her head and she went back to polishing her guitar. "So are we going to practice or what?" She said, throwing the rag so it landed on Fang's face. I laughed at him.

I handed him my plate and said, "Well Kelsey has thrown her rag at you meaning you are our butler. Butler, throw those away." Fang raised an eyebrow at my horrible snobby accent. I waved my hand and he tossed the plate in the trash. I smiled and we headed to the keyboard, with my mic in my hand.

"Here butler." I said, giving him the sheet music for the next song. "Guys, how about Addicted To Love?" I asked, raising an eyebrow we all loved that song.

"Hell yeah!" Everyone shouted and we began, Fang doing a decent job if I do say so myself.

"Is this love- or am I just a fool
Why do you keep on breaking my
heart right into two
(and don't you know that I)
I can't help it, I can't can't help it
I can't help it, I just can't help it
I know you're bad for me but I'm so good for you
I try to walk away but that I can't do

Though I try to forget you
But I can't cause I'm addicted to love
And it hurts when I miss you
So I'm not givin' up cause I'm addicted to love
It's so wrong that it's right
Don't leave me tonight
Make my heart beat faster, yeah you bring me to life
And I try to forget you
But I can't cause I'm addicted to love

Look in my eyes- I wanna read your soul
I wanna take it all in 'til I start to lose control
(and don't you know that I)
I can't help it, I can't can't help it
I can't help it, I just can't help it
You're like a drug to me what am I gonna do
I gotta have it all I need a hit of you

We have been on this crazy high flying to
the sky- then crashing down so low
You're a high that I just can't kick
No I just can't quit, oh no

Though I try to forget you
But I can't cause I'm addicted to love
And it hurts when I miss you
So I'm not givin' up cause I'm addicted to love
Though I try to forget you
But I can't cause I'm addicted to love
And it hurts when I miss you
So I'm not givin' up cause I'm addicted to lov
It's so wrong that it's right
Don't leave me tonight
Make my heart beat faster, yeah you bring me to life
And I try to forget you
But I can't cause I'm addicted to love

[Addicted to Love: Orianthi]

"Woo!" Jordan shouted pumping his fist in the air. We all rolled our eyes. I grabbed my water bottle and took a sip of it, well more like I drank half of the bottle in a gulp, but we will overlook that.

"Fang you're good. How come knows about your little secret?" Ella asked, a mischievous grin on her face. We are so related.

Fang squirmed, "Well no one was supposed to know, but then I got the opportunity to annoy Maxie here," I glared at him, "I just had to take it." I huffed and turned away from him, arms crossed.

"Ooh! Trouble in paradise!" Jordan shouted and I threw my water bottle at him. He grunted seeing as it hit him in the gut.

"Hey can you throw that back? I'm still thirsty!" I said, smirking. He glared at me and threw it really hard at me. I yelped and ducked just in time… for it to hit Fang square in the face.

I, along with Kelsey and Ella, gasped and covered our mouths with our hands. Jordan stood there, mouth agape, frozen with shock.

"Oh my god Fang, are okay?" I said, trying to see if he was bruised but I couldn't because he had his covering his face.

He removed his hand and smirked, "I knew you cared about me, Barbie." Did he just call me Barbie? Seriously, Barbie?

"Did you just call me Barbie?" I asked shocked. He nodded and I glared, "Well then, I guess I'll have to give you a new nickname, too. I think I'll go with Pinkie." I said smirking and putting my hands on my hips.

"Call me Pinkie and we'll see what happens." Fang threatened. I laughed and stuck my tongue out at him, being the mature adult I am.

"I don't think so Pinkie!" I said childishly, smirking. Fang smirked and stretched his arms forward. He grabbed my waist and began to tickle me mercilessly. I shrieked in laughter and used every drop of will power I had to keep myself standing.

"Okay you two, stop flirting with each other and let's play some music!" Kelsey shouted, chucking a potato at us. Where did she get the potato?

"Where did you get the potato?" Fang asked, voicing my thoughts out loud. It's scary how we think the same things.

Kelsey shrugged, "I don't know, I saw it lying on the snack counter and just threw at you guys." Wow, I don't want to know how that got there.

"Well, okay then and so what should we play?" I asked, turning my mic on.

"Dark Horses?" Ella piped up.

"'Kay" I said and looked for the sheet music and handed it to Fang. Rodger could never memorize the notes so we had extras. We grabbed our instruments and began to play.

"I've made my mistakes
I've seen my heart cave in
I've got my scars
I've been to hell and back again

Born for the blue skies
We'll survive the rain
Born for the sunrise
We'll survive the pain

We're singing…
Hey, You can't count us out
We've been living up against the crowd
Yeah, we are the Dark Horses
We're singing…
Hey! It's not over now
We've been down but we've never been out
Yeah, we are the Dark Horses

We found a way out
The city takes everything it can
But outside the crowds
I can feel my lungs again

We're singing…

We don't care what they say
We know we'll find a way
Yeah!… We are the Dark Horses

Laa la-la-la-la-laa
Laa la-la-la-la-laa"

[Dark Horses: Switchfoot]

"Okay, I think that's good for now. Should we call it a day?" I asked, putting my guitar down and avoiding the topic of whether or not Fang will join our little band or not.

"Nice try Max, we have to discuss Fangy boy's situation." Jordan said, seeing through my little act. Damn boy knows me too well. I pouted and he just waved me off. Hmph, how dare he? I got him fruit punch for his birthday!

"So Fang what do you say? You want to join The Rulers of The Sky?" Ella asked, leaning against the drum set, where Jordan sat watching Fang and Kelsey was doing the same.

"Sure why not?" He said shrugging.

"Then welcome to the band, man." Jordan said, coming up to give Fang one of those weird guy hugs. "Yeah um, thanks?" Fang said awkwardly. I giggled and we said our goodbye's. Ella had Iggy drop her off so we went back home.

"Hey where's Abby?" Fang asked when we came home. Abby wasn't there and neither were Angel and Gazzy.

"Iggy dropped Abby home and Angel and Gazzy are at soccer practice." Ella replied, heading for the fridge. The garage opened and we heard a car pull in. Man, I hope it was my dad. But apparently Fate thinks my humiliation is entertaining because my mom came in with great news. Note my sarcasm…

"Hi girls! Your father called and said he had to stay overnight so he won't be back until tomorrow." My mom said, putting her purse on the counter. I groaned but went over to give her a hug anyway.

"Hey mom." I said, hugging her with the arm that wasn't attached to Fang.

"Hi Max.. Hi… child that I'm pretty sure isn't mine…." My mom said looking at Fang. "Max… who is he?"

"He is the guy who Nudge and Jordan handcuffed me to." I explained.

"And where is the key?" She asked and I explained everything to her and she called Iggy down. Iggy came running down the stairs, in only a towel because he was changing and mo used that 'Get-down-here-or-your-ass-is-going-to-be-in-Antartica-if-you-don't'

I laughed, Fang snickered and Ella covered her eyes. "Iggy cover up!"She cried. He glared at her and looked at mom.

"Iggy, I thought I would never say this but, pick the lock on those handcuffs right now." Mom said in her mother voice. Iggy gulped and scrambled to do it. The handcuffs clicked off and I rubbed my wrist.

"Thank you Iggy!" I screeched, giving him a big hug. What? Those handcuffs hurt and now I wasn't stuck to Fang anymore! That is a good cause for me to hug Iggy.

"Geez Max, but don't expect it to happen again." He grumbled, going back to the bathroom.

Okay, so that was it. I don't like how it ended, but that was nineteen pages and frankly, I'm tired and want to stop. I'll continue soon.

Haha, people standing behind you… the internet is entertaining! I wish that was the case when I was younger, if it could protect me from people standing behind me I wouldn't have gotten grounded for a month!
