Moms. I closed my smart phone and looked up. Angel and Gazzy were still running around playing "Chinese Fire Drill". Maybe it was time for them to stop. I got up and gently push past Fang, in the seat next to me.

" Ok guys, time for you to sit down and eat your peanuts."

They looked at me as if saying ' Really Max? Peanuts? '. They sighed and clambered back into their seats. Everyone seemed to exhale at the same moment when they sat. I rolled my eyes. I not-so-gracefully sat myself down in my chair and took out my dolphin Pillow Pet. So soft. Then I took out my fluffy blanket and situated myself. I laid my head on my pillow/pet looked up at Fang who was now staring at me.

" What?" I said.

" Nothing." He said.

He kept staring at me. Then he leaned forward and kissed me on the lips.

" Have a good nights rest." He said, mouth still on mine. " You have a big day tomorrow."

I mumbled something I didn't catch. Fang laughed, but I could see what I said made him almost fall out of his chair. Mentally. I was about to say I didn't mean it but sleep took over my body too fast.


I awoke when someone kept blowing in my ear. For the first 5 minutes I would just roll over and mumble something then try to go back to sleep. Then it would happen again. After those 5 minutes, I started to get really ticked off. I bolted straight up and looked behind me.

" Gazzy. I should've known."

He looked at me innocently.

" What did I do?" He said with a squeak in his voice.

" Oh don't play that with me, I know you were blowing in my ear while I slept! It ticked me off too!"

Gazzy giggled and sat back in the seat behind us. Fang had fallen asleep next to me. He slept with a stubborn face on, the face I loved so much. His mouth a fraction of the way opened, eyebrows relaxed but stern, and his whole body seemed really relaxed. I turned to look out the window and noticed why Gazzy was trying to wake me from my slumber. We were getting close to the ground, I could make out the airport in the distance. I gently woke Fang from his rest. I told him to look out side. There were pom trees lining the roads and the beaches were crowded with teens. There was a casino on every block and hip young people road in roofless convertibles. I started to pack up my stuff when the first wheel of the plane touched down. The plane quickly came to a halt and the passengers started unloading. Oh, I forgot to say that we were siting in first class, so we got off first. I walked down the long hallway that connected from the airport to the plane. I took out my phone and texted my mom. I felt a firm hand grasp my shoulder and I turned around, only to see Fang standing there. A smile danced on my lips as I turned back towards my phone. I sent the message just as we walked into the airport.

" I had gotten a text saying that there should be some people holding up a sign with my last name on it. That's were we are supposed to go." I said

I turned around and stopped, waiting for Angel and Gazzy to walk out of the plane exit. After a few minutes, they emerged, arguing to one another. I walked over to them and held up my hand, telling them to stop.

" Ok, Angel, you tell me what happened first." I said. At this point Fang had walked over just out of pure bordem.

She sniffled. " I had went to the bathroom right before the plane landed. I took awhile because I didn't know how to do anything in that bathroom. When I came out, Nobody was on the plane, not even Gazzy. I had to sneak out. Luckly, They hadn't closed the gate, so I ran through and met Gazzy just as he was walking out."

I glanced towards Gazzy, who looked ashamed, then focused my attention back on Angel.

" It's ok Angel, your here now, lets just get going."

I stood up and looked around some more. Finally, I spotted three guys in uniforms holding up a sign that said 'Martinez party'. I motion the others to follow as I started walking.

- page break -

I hald three suitcases into a five-star hotel. I plopped myself down on the first couch I saw. Man, I was exhausted.

" Gazzy, Angel, What did you put in your suitcases? Rocks?" I said, not even trying to be sarcastic.

They ignored the comment and started pulling my arms, trying to get me to go upstairs. Then they play fully started moaning and groaning about how heavy I was. I sighed and lifted myself off the seat.

" Ok, where are the elevators?"

" Elevators?"

I turned around to see Fang standing there with a huge grin plastered on his face.

" No," I moaned, " No, no, no."

- another page break -

The large double doors shut behind us as me walk into the recording building. I look around and notice how big it is.

" It was a good idea leaving Ang and Gaz back at the hotel. I don't think could be in here for five minutes without getting seriously lost." I said

Fang nodded. I was about to look around some more, but the secretary looked up.

" Are you just going to stand there staring or are you going to sign yourselves in?" She said.

I walked over and she handed me a clip board. I wrote my name in neat cursive, then handed the board to Fang. The secretary studied my face.

" Are you Max Martinez?" She said.

I nodded. Was I already known everywhere?

She nodded. " Was just asking because I was told to be expecting you."

Apparently not.

" Ok, so um, where do I go?"

Her eyes peered over her large round glasses. She pointed towards two glass elevators.

" 11th floor, 3rd door on your right. Mr. Perk should be waiting for you."

I thanked her and walked to the elevators. I pressed the open button and the right elevator opened it's doors first. Me and Fang both stepped in side as the doors closed just as fast as they had opened. I punched in 11 into the floor box on the wall. I felt the elevator jerk up and start moving.

" Who's Mr. Perk?" Fang asked from beside me.

" He's the recording director. He runs the recording stations."

Just as I finished, the elevator came to a halt. The glass doors slid open to show a narrow hallway in front of us. We walked until we were at a door that said 'authorized personals only'. I was about to second guess myself when I noticed a sign right below it. It said 'Max Martinez welcomed'. I shrugged and stepped inside. In the room was a large glass wall that in side, was one of the microphones that hung from the ceiling, a pair of headphones perched around it. A recording table stood just in front, hundreds of different buttons occupying it. A few chair's with wheels sat around the table. On the opposite wall sat a couch, probably 30-40 years old. A coffee table perched in front of that, and only a few magazines layed there.

I looked over and saw that one of the chairs was occupied. From the back I could see a bald spot, graying hair, and pants that needed to be pulled up a bit.

" Uh, excuse me." I said

The man spun around in his chair. He rolled his chair over to me and stuck out his enormous hand.

" You must be Ms. Martinez." I nodded.

He turned to Fang. " And this must be your boyfriend."

I started to cut in. " No, were not da-"

" I'm Mr. Perk, the recording director, but you can call me John."

I smiled. " And you can call me Max."

He nodded and rolled back over to the recording table. He motioned towards the recording room.

" Whenever you'd like dear, but it has to be today." He smiled.

I walked over and stepped inside. There wasn't much inside to really talk about. Just the black walls, black micro, and black headphones. I think Fang would like it in here. John fixed the headphones so that they would stay in place over my head. He told me to put my hand on the headphones, He adjusted the micro so that it was right in front of my lips, then he left the room and went to go sit in his chair. Fang sat next to him in one of the non-rolly chairs. He smiled at me. I smiled back.

Mr. Perk ( Sorry, I mean, John) Pressed one of the many buttons in front of him and spoke into a smaller, more stable microphone in front of him.

" I want you to sing the song that this boys going to give you. See that stand in the corner? Go get it and place it in front of you. Yes, just like that. I'm going to play the music first so you can get the tune of it, then I will play it a second time. That's when I won't you to sing, got it?"

I nodded. John gave Fang two sheets of music and started talking to him. Of course I didn't hear anything they were saying. Fang came in and gave me the music, then left, but not before a reassuring smile. I read the title of the music. Treacherous by Taylor Swift. Oh! I used to listen to this song all the time when I was growing up! I knew every word!

I taped on the microphone to get John's attention.

" Yes?" He said. He pressed a button so he could hear what I was saying.

I told him that I could just sing with the music the first time because I already know this song. He nodded. " Sure. That would also save some more time." He pressed a button and the music came on.

Treacherous by Taylor Swift (A/N: Thanks Elybean!)

Put your lips close to mine

As long as they don't touch

Out of focus, eye to eye

Till the gravity's too much

And I'll do anything you say

If you say it with your hands

And I'd be smart to walk away, but you're quicksand

This slope is treacherous

This path is reckless

This slope is treacherous

And I, I, I like it

I can't decide if it's a choice

Getting swept away

I hear the sound of my own voice

Asking you to stay

And all we are is skin and bone trained to get along

Forever going with the flow, but you're friction

This slope is treacherous

This path is reckless

This slope is treacherous

And I, I, I like it

Two headlights shine through the sleepless night

And I will get you, get you alone

Your name has echoed through my mind

And I just think you should, think you should know

That nothing safe is worth the drive and I will

Follow you, follow you home...I'll follow you, follow you home...

This hope is treacherous

This daydream is dangerous

This hope is treacherous

I, I, I... I, I, I... I, I, I...

Two headlights shine through the sleepless night

And I will get you, get you alone

Your name has echoed through my mind

And I just think you should, think you should know

That nothing safe is worth the drive and I will

Follow you, follow you home...

I'll follow you, follow you home...I'll follow you, follow you home...I'll follow you, follow you home...

This slope is treacherous

I, I, I like it

The whole time I was singing, I could hear in my headphones what I sounded like to Fang and John. I was... Awesome. Each pitch I hit was perfect, ever note was perfect. I had never thought my voice sounded like that. I had kept my eyes closed through most of it, but ever so often I would open them to find Fang's mouth agape and John smiling like a madman.

John pulled out one shaking hand and pressed a button. He leaned over and spoke four words.

" Let's do that again."
