Max
Fang was here! A part of me felt giddy and relief while to other part of me wanted to tear his head off for leaving me. Oh yeah, and he thought I was Maya, crap.
"Yeah, you think I'm her." I replied flatly.
"Her? Who's her?" He asked confused. Gawd, when did Fang get so stupid?
"Maya, butthead!" I said a bit jealously.
"But you're Maya, my best friend and head chef!" He exclaimed, still not getting it. I let out a choked out sob and went to sit in the corner by myself feeling hurt and betrayal. I thought I was his best friend. I know I couldn't cook, that just made me feel inferior. He came and wrapped his arms around me that felt so good. No, bad Max, concentrate, you're being mad at him.
Except I couldn't help enjoying it, well, that is until he said, "What's wrong Maya?" really concerned.
I growled, "You stupid jerk! You still don't get it?" I yelled at him and he looked mildly surprised.
"Get what?" He asked pretty irritated now.
"I'm Max!" I screamed.
He blanked out for a second and then it started to sink in. The look on his face was priceless!
"I knew that." He said, weak attempt at a bluff.
"No you didn't!" I yelled and the glee and giddiness of him there took over. Well that and the look on his face threw me into hysterical laughter. He sat there looking at me strangely which made me laugh even more. My sides and cheek started hurting from laughing so much, I finally stopped. Then we just sat there like we used to. We were so comfortable with silence, it was natural for us.
Wait us? No he has Maya now, he doesn't need me anymore.
Maya is like a lead drop in my stomach. Argh, is this jealousy I'm feeling? Why and I feeling jealous? I have Dylan now and he's perfect. I look over at Fang and meet his eyes. I'm lost in his beautiful obsidian eyes and my hair is falling into my eyes. He reaches over and pushes it back, the way he used to so many times.
"Sorry." He mumbled. After a bit more silence I broke it.
"Fang, why'd you leave?" I asked quietly.
He sighed, "I left to protect you and the flock."
"I know, but it did more harm than good." I said.
"I thought it was the right thing to do, and at the time, it seemed so logical. I'd disappear and bam, the flock would be safe." He said.
I sighed, "We missed you so much."
"I know, I missed you too." He responded, staring at me intently.
I laughed weakly, "You should've seen me those days, just after you left. I was a mess. You really broke my heart Fang." I said bitterly.
"I'm sorry." He replied, a dark look coming across his face. "Also, tell Dylan I'm sorry too. Since I left, I know he's been pulling my weight, he's really come through."
"Yeah, he fits in with the flock so well; it's as if we've known him all our lives." I said. "Tell Maya that I'm sorry too. I was just jealous, bitter and hurt." I said. Then we were quiet for a while.
"Why is there a kitchen in here?" I said, just noticing it.
"I'm not quite sure, it's not like wither one of us can cook." He replied.
"Oh, so they're just going to starve us and taunt us because we can't cook?" I replied sarcastically.
"I have no idea, but at least the ceiling is high enough to fly up on." He responded.
"Hey is that a next?" A big brown thing caught my eye.
"I think it is. WTH?" He asked.
These are breeding chambers. The voice said and I choked with anger and something else.
"Max? Are you okay?" Fang asked concerned.
"Yeah, these are breeding chambers." I choked out. His face turned a deep shade of red.
"Well this is awkward." I said after a moment of silence trying to break the tension. He nodded.
"I wonder how long we've been in here for." He asked.
"I'm not sure, but I know that the flock is looking for me." I replied.
He looked at me sadly and looked as if he wanted to say something but changed his mind last minute. I didn't push him on it.
"I'm hungry." I said.
"So am I. Maybe there's some food in the cupboard that we won't burn the place down with." He said.
"I don't know. Let me check." I said and we ended up eating dry instant noodles. After a while my eyelids were starting to droop and Fang let me have the bed. I closed my eyes and fell fast asleep.
Angel
Where was Max? I thought frantically as I searched the complex for her mind. Max? Can you hear me? I asked, getting no response. Frustrated I kicked the nearest garbage can, leaving a giant dent in it.
"Whoa, easy there little sis!" Gazzy exclaimed. "We'll find her." I sighed and nodded.
"Hey! Isn't that Fang's Gang up ahead?" Nudge asked.
"Yeah, why are they here?" Dylan wondered. Great, now Dylan will fall in love with Maya and she will have stolen two of Max's boyfriends.
"Hey!" Iggy called out to them. They turned and looked shocked.
"Hey!" Maya called back. "Why are you guys here?"
"Well, we were here to save Ella, but now, we're just trying to find Max." Iggy replied.
"Oh, same, well, except Fang got kidnapped." the Starfish said.
"Why would they kidnap Fang and Max?" Gazzy asked.
"We don't know. All I know is that he was outside the bathroom waiting for me and the next minute he disappeared." Maya responded worried.
"Wait, let's get out of here." I said, suddenly sensing someone watching us. The others looked at me strangely and met at a coffee shop above ground and tried to come up with a plan.
"This is hopeless!" Star said frustrated.
"The place is too big, they could be anywhere!" Ratchet said.
"Hey, I'm sensing something." Gazzy said and we all looked at him.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I'm not sure but I can see a big room, wait, someone pass me a pencil and paper." He said and Iggy passed them to him. He started scribbling furiously and soon a picture of a building came into place.
"Hey, I know where that is!" Iggy cried.
"You can see it?" Gazzy asked.
"No, but, whenever I enter a building, I can sort of feel the blueprints of it." He responded and we all gaped at him in shock.
"Well. The white coats sure didn't plan on this." I said recovering from my shock.
"So let's go and get them out of there!" Nudge said.
*sigh finally we'll have some Fax soon! And some Mylan? Maybe... review to tell me what you think!
