Me: LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!
Fang: This girl here does not own Maximum Ride, as sad as she is about that. James Patterson, our God, created the work of art.
Nudge: She owns the storyline, so no stealing! And presenting... A new face!
Angel: She is incredibly sorry if the storyline is similar to yours, she doesn't realize!
Me: Thank you everyone! Let's wrap this up! See you .. AND REVIEW!
OH BY THE WAY THANK YOU SO MUCH River-Fiona-Barrels-Me,
I LOVE YOU! I am updating! YAY!
*gives cookie* You are my first ever ever ever reviewer, ever. Okay, enough with the notes, on with the story!
Chapter **4**
ANGEL POV!
"Okay, Angel, what's up with Max?"
"Um. Nothing, Iggy?"
"Something is up with her. I can tell, so can Fang."
"Well I haven't noticed much weirdness going on?"
Iggy is gonna get me to look into her brain, I can tell, although I can hear his mind. Stupid mind block things they put up. Dunno how they figured out how to, though.
"Anngeeeellllll... Can you look into her mind for us?"
I find this funny. They hate me looking into their minds but they sometimes use me as a vessel to find out stuff anyway.
I sigh, "She is in the shower Iggy. Ever heard of privacy?"
"She'll be thinking of putting soap on, then. Come on!"
I haven't even noticed anything weird. "Fine..."
I attempt, but her mind is blocked. "Sorry Iggy, she has mind blocks up."
"GRR!"
"So do you. You can't say anything!"
"Whatever. I'm saving your precious mind."
What does that mean?
Huh.
"Iggy, what do you mean?"
Fang mumbles, "You don't want to know, Angel."
"Oh. Okay."
Well that was weird.
"Angel!"
"COMING NUDGE!"
Thank the lord for Nudge!
MAX POV!
Nudge is now 11 years old.
That is scary.
Because:
a. Nudge is getting older! This frightens me.
b. She needs the talk.
When I was 11 I got the ... the ... TALK.
Scary business.
I wish I didn't get it, I didn't speak with Iggy or Fang for DAYS!
They were pretty freaked out with me, but they actually didn't get all the female stuff. I dunno if I got all the male stuff, but I don't want to know, to be honest.
But, I suppose, we should probably let Nudge, at least, know about what is happening or is going to happen to her, and I think we should tell Gazzy and Angel around now, too. I think earlier, sadly, might be better. You don't care so much when you are younger, and you have the (insert shudder here) information for when you need it.
Yeah.
Ha.
Ha.
No. Help me!
I walk out into the living room and met with Nudge asking to play truth or dare.
She never gives up on that stupid game.
"No."
"Please!"
"No."
"PLEASE!"
I make the mistake of looking at her.
"Fine, then. You owe me big time, you know, Nudge."
"Yeah, whatever." Is the response I get as she gathers everyone into a circle. Apparently she used bambi eye on Fang, too.
"Okay, I get to ask someone something first because I started." Nudge says. Sounds rather bossy, to me, but whatever.
"Angel, truth or dare?"
She pauses. "Truth!"
"Have you ever, ever, ever kissed a guy?"
"EW GROSS NO, NUDGE! Anyway, only people that are like 14 can kiss."
I manage to stifle a snicker.
"Okay, Iggy," she starts, "truth or dare?"
"Um. Dare!"
"I dare you... to... lick the floor!"
I'm glad we have good immune systems. I would never have allowed this dare, otherwise. Admittedly watching Iggy's face after he licked the floor was priceless!
"YURK EW!" Iggy makes a face. "Hmm... Okay, Max."
Oh, god.
"Truth or dare?"
"Truth." Truth is the best option with the flock.
"Why have you been so weird today?" Most of the time. Who put Iggy up to this? Maybe Iggy found out himself. Am I that obvious?
"Personal reasons." I say, smiling sweetly.
"Max."
"You didn't say how detailed."
"Max, you can't do that!" Nudge says. "It is the rules!"
"You didn't specify that this game."
"Um, yes is did."
"Oh." Whoops, I blacked out!
How does the almighty Maximum Ride get out of this one?
I will for my phone to ring.
Please. Please! PLEASE!
No ringing.
"You don't want to know."
I feel Angel prodding at the mind block I put up. I look at her, she seems sincere. I don't know if I should trust her not to tell if I get rid of it. Maybe she will help me think of something.
I mouth "promise" at her, and she nods.
I, taking a massive leap of faith, I get rid of the mind block.
If you dare tell them Angel, I WILL STAB YOU!
I don't even know if she knows what it is.
Max, what is a period?
I'll tell you soon, promise. Just don't you dare tell anyone.
"I don't think Max should tell you." Angel voices up.
"WHY NOT?" Nudge basically screeches. "IT IS THE RULES!"
"She has good reasons that we shouldn't know."
"Do you know?"
"Yeah."
"Why?"
"Because I got into her mind and I shouldn't know so I'm not telling anyone."
I get up and leave to go to bed straight after she says that, after giving her a warm hug. She supports me, even Fang didn't.
Traitor.
*happy dance* YAY FOR FIRST EVER REVIEW
Sorry for this one taking longer than the others *am currently on a writing speed thing*. I ate dinner... Mmm tandoori chicken.
