I'm holding a contest. If you can find something I can't relate to Maximum Ride (that's NOT pudding ;D) you can name one of my new characters, who ARE coming! Get the deets on my profile. It doesn't include the pudding thing though, but it still doesn't count!

I had fallen asleep after we made the little treats and split them up. It was maybe 3 in the morning when I heard a knocking noise coming from the balcony that has doors from my room, the playroom, and Nudge's room. Grrrrrr. Why is somebody knocking? I swear if it's Gazzy, Nudge, or Ella, they WILL be bruised tomorrow. I looked out, and saw a girl around Nudge's age. She had big, green eyes, and dirty blonde hair with bleach-blonde sun-streaks. It was waist length, and wavy. The ends where split, I could tell. She had on a ripped up T-shirt and ripped up jeans. But you could tell it was natural, from plants and a lot of time outdoors. I was starting to wake up, and noticed that she had wings. Her hair wasn't blonde with bleach-blonde streaks, it was gold with silver streaks. But it looked natural. Her wings where shimmering gold and silver in the moonlight. She had scars, from prickly bushes and such, but no claw marks. She hadn't fought Erasers, didn't look like she had ever been to the school. I put up a finger, meaning wait, and she nodded. I went and to go get Max.

"Max! Max! You gotta see this!"

"It can wait Angel." She grumbled sleepily.

"No, it's really important!"

"Go bother somebody else!"

I walked off to Fang's room, but Fang wouldn't even WAKE UP, much less listen to me! Iggy wouldn't be of much use, so I went to Nudge's room.

"NUDGE! NUDGE! THERE'S A WINGED GIRL OUTSIDE MY BEDROOM!" I yelled as loud as I could.

"WHAT?!" Nudge yelled back.

Max came racing in.

"Angel, why didn't you tell me THAT?!"

"Cause you made me leave before I could!"

In all the commotion, Fang, Iggy, Gazzy, Ella, and Total all got up and raced to Nudge's room.

"Nudge, you come see!"

"Wait, what? Why can't we all come!" Gazzy demanded.

"It'll freak her out!"

"And NUDGE wont?! Bring Max or something!"

"No, I'm bringing Nudge, she's the only one who'd wake up!"

Then me and Nudge left before they could say anything else. I knew they where following us, but Ella caught up to us with Total, and we all went in. The four of us. I opened the door and walked out with Nudge, then the rest of the flock gathered in my room to watch through the window. I had a direct link of minds (?) to Max and Fang, in case this was a trap.

"H-hello?" I asked.

"Uh, hi. I was wondering if you could help me? I've read Max's book. I'm not a crazy fangirl though." (I just noticed this but FANgirl and FANGirl. Get it? I know, it's random, but I wanted to point it out…)

"Um, ok." I said.

"Well, you see, I, uh, wasn't born with wings. They just sort of, grew… I guess. But not like you'd think, it happened over night. It was weird, and I'm not even sure I know what happened. But I do have powers."

"Oh, really? Like what?" I asked.

"Well, telekinesis, teleportation, and I'm telepathic, just like you, Angel. Oh, and I'm a pyromaniac, I like fire. I think I might have a, like, elements power, but I don't know. I mean, I was camping when all of a sudden, a fire just…. Started. It was weird, I just left. It hasn't happened since."

"Ok. And what's your name?"

"Oh, right. I'm Lily Valley… or I was. I'm stickin' to the Lily part though. And I'm 13 years old. My family almost sold me to a science lab, which was part of the government, but I ran off before the place started crawling with suits."

"Ok. Nudge? Think she's safe?"

"I guess. It's not like she's part of the School, that's long gone. And Little P.o'd Asian man, otherwise known as Mr Chu, wouldn't do this, and is dead."

"Alright, follow me."

We walked into my room. Everybody was staring at us, especially Gazzy. Or, more accurately, he was staring at Lily. Wow, my brother likes her, and he doesn't even know her name.

"Guys this is Lily. She just sort of got wings, but her parents tried selling her to the government, to dissect her and stuff. Like a legal version of the School. But she ran away. She's 13, like me. She's got all those tele-whatevers and a possible elements power. And, Ella, we're gunna have to take her to the mall tomorrow, get her hair fixed and buy her some clothes." Nudge said, or rather, strung together in babbling madness. But everybody understands Nudge by now. Although at the mention of 'mall' I saw Lily's nose scrunch up, like she was dreading it. She's like another Max.

"Uh, ok, I, uh………" Lily said.

"Um, ok. First, she'll need a place to sleep. Any one offering?"

I had sent Iggy a picture, from my mind, right? Yeah, so he knows what she looks like.

"She can sleep in MY room." Iggy piped up. I saw Max was about to call him a sexist pig, then punch him, but she was beat.

"Pervert." Lily said, then punched his arm REALLY HARD. It would have killed a regular human. But Iggy just said ow and moved on. Then I noticed Lily was only, like, 5'2" or something. She was short. Taller than me, but still. I was 5'1". And I'm 9. She was like, staring at the place she punched Iggy. Since it was eye level. He's a foot taller than her! But maybe she'll grow….

"She can sleep in my top bunk." Nudge suggested.

"Alright. Go to sleep, everybody. Ella, I'll tell mom, ok?" Max.

Ok's echoed around the room. I went back to bed.

The next morning…

I was one of the first ones awake. I went downstairs, to see Max, Iggy, and Lily, sitting around talking. I saw Gazzy almost asleep in the chair next to Lily.

"Mornin' Max. Mornin' Iggy. Mornin Lily. Is Gazzy even awake?"

"Morning, Angel. No, he's not." Lily replied.

"Max, I'm gunna go take a shower, ok?"

"Ok. Don't use all the hot water." Max said.

"Mk." I replied, sleepily. I slowly trudged upstairs. I went and took a quick shower, washing in warm, but rinsing in cold. It's how I wake up. When I hopped out, I noticed I was due for a haircut. In two years, I had gone from shoulder length ringlets to lower leg length, almost-at-my-ankles, waves. They weren't even ringlets anymore, it was too weighed down.

I walked downstairs after drying my hair and pulling it out of my face and braiding it. I saw Nudge was awake, and went to talk to her.

"Nudge? I need a haircut really bad."

"I know. We're all getting our hair done."

"Ok."

I sat down and started to eat. Nudge's hair is deep brown. She found de-curler that wasn't a flat iron and de-frizzer. Her hair is actually really pretty. I was so absorbed in random thought that I noticed Lily waving her hand in front of my face. I felt like Max, since she spaces a lot.

"We're leaving soon. In half an hour. We need to find hair styles online. Go search, before Gazzy wakes up." She said. I noticed Gazzy was asleep on her shoulder. I got up to go search. I found the perfect hairstyle. I'll describe it after we get it done.

After the hair stylist…..

My hair looked AMAZING! It looks like Ashlee Simpson, the blonde version. It's sweet. Lily's hair looks GREAT! Her hair was waist length when it wasn't straightened. It was hip length when it was. Now we where shopping. Or, ending shopping. We where waiting for Max and Ig to pick us up. Max was in the Punch Buggy, and Fang was in some other VMW. I put my bags in the back of Fang's car, then let Lily climb in the back to sit with Gazzy, while I sat up front. If we get pulled over, I can always use mind control. I turned it to a pop station and Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus was just starting to play. I started singing along, with Max. I made her do it. (I just now noticed I don't have a disclaimer in this story. So it now goes here, for this one and only time. Disclaimer: If we lived in a perfect world, I'd be Lily right now and it wouldn't matter who had the rights to Max. Or James Patterson's daughter. But the world isn't and I'm neither of those things {Or am I? You'll never know!} so I have no rights to any of this, but Lily or the plot.)

Then Lily started singing along. She started softly, but then She Wolf by Shakira started (don't own the songs either!) and started singing loudly. The roof to the punch buggy was down. Our hair was blowing in the wind. But we didn't even notice. We where all staring dumbfound at Lily. She's got the best voice I've ever heard! I listened to thoughts.

Oh. My. GOD. Lily's voice is that of an angel, a goddess a… a…. an angelic songbird goddess!

That came from GAZZY. Weird.

Who's singing? It's better than anything I'VE ever heard. Is that LILY singing that? Wow, I think I'm in love.

Iggy. Huh. Let's listen to Fang.

That's Lily. Wow. Who knew. What's that weird feeling in the pit of my stomach? Could I LIKE her?! No, couldn't be. Could it?

OH, CRUD MONKEYS!

Oops I said that out loud. I'll have to explain now!

Chapter 4 is DONE! Enter the contest now! And for all those Fax lovers, don't worry bout Fang. He still loves Max. I mean, they're soul mates. And I've decided that I'm gunna have two prizes. Since Angel needs a 'mate', and so does Iggy or Gazzy (I never like Eggy. I found it strange. Or Niggy.) and NUDGE TOO!!!!!! The winner can choose a boys or girls name. If the name is underlined the first time you see it then…. I'll explain on my profile…. Ok? LilyHasWings over and out.
