Max
"Good morning Max II and Fang." A mysterious voice said. "We've decided that you would be the next best couple after Max I and Dylan." Wait WTH? I'm Max, not Max II. I looked over at Fang and he looked at me with the same confused expression. "I am sure Max II everything is to your liking; after all, you have done very well in your mission of capturing Fang." Fang looked at me with a horrified expression on his face. Play along I mouthed to him.
"Yes, it was easy to imitate Max's behaviors; she is simple and less superior to me." I said.
"Ah, I am sure you found the upgrade very useful then?" the voice said.
"Yes, I did." I replied.
"Good, good. We will leave you now." The voice responded.
"What the heck was that?" Fang whispered to me.
"I think they meant to capture Maya instead of me, and I think her job was to seduce you?" I whispered back explaining. He had a sudden look of pain flash across his face.
"I'm sorry." I said, understanding what it felt like to be betrayed by someone you love. "My biggest mistake was letting you let me go." I said.
"Doesn't matter." He said through clenched teeth.
"It does matter Fang, because no matter how much Dylan was made for me, I will always love you more. You're my best friend and-" He stopped me midsentence with a kiss. I kissed him back.
"I love you Maximum Ride, more than I loved Maya and I was a blind man to recognize it only now." He said and I kissed him again. Wait, I see blinking lights. I forced myself to pull away from Fang.
"Hey do you see that?" I said with my eyes closed.
"Uhm… no?" He replied confused.
"I think I can see the flock in the form of radar." I replied and he looked at me as if I had grown an extra head. "Wait, come here for a second." I said. He scooted closer and I put my hand on his head. "Oh, now I can see your gang too. That's pretty cool." That caught his attention.
"Are they okay?" He asked concerned.
"Yeah, they've joined together and they want to get us out." I said and opened my eyes.
"Uhm Max?" He asked.
"Yeah?" I replied.
"Could you put us back on the ground?" He asked. I looked down. Holy crap we were 10 feet off the ground.
Maya
We were on our way but Angel was staring at me intently and I was slightly creeped out. Apparently Dylan noticed and he came and put his arm around me. I know that my job was to take Fang out so that Max could have Dylan, but I've been in love with Dylan day one. Max doesn't know what she has and she takes it all for granted. Besides, Fang is totally in love with Max anyways, I would give anything to be with Dylan, but I can't, the scientists won't let me.
"You know we're working to take the scientists down." Angel said. Oh yeah she reads minds.
"Of course, that's out existence right?" I said sarcastically, immediately regretting it when she looked hurt. "I'm sorry, I'm just bitter." I apologized.
"Why?" Dylan asked.
"Can't be with the one I love." I replied flatly.
"Same." He replied. Yeah, he loved Max. I forgot. Why does life hate me? "You see," he continued, "I was made to be the perfect other half of someone and programmed to love them, but I'm not so sure it's the case anymore." Huh? I was confused.
"He loves you, too, you know?" Angel said. Argh, this is really confusing. Whatever, I have a mission to complete.
Why is this mission of yours so important? Angel asked me in my head, oh boy this will take some getting used to.
I don't know, it's my purpose in life I guess. The scientists created me and gave me purpose. I responded.
But why do you have to live by their orders? You're always talking about how you're your own person, why be a person they created, just be yourself! Angel replied, wow, she is SMART for a 7 year old.
Why thank you. She replied to that.
You're right Angel, I need to stop breaking Max and Fang up, I can be my own person, and I never really wanted to listen anyways. I said to her. She was totally right. It's time to start living for myself; I've always only been a clone, a tool. But now, I can be someone, someone I actually like. I just hope it isn't too late to start over with Max.
Exactly right, I really hope it isn't too late. I have a bad feeling about this place. She said in my head.
I felt chills down my spine, knowing what Dr. Gunther-Hagan was capable of. There was something nagging in my mind, but I couldn't remember what.
Awee, Maya's life sucks. Review to tell me if you think she deserves a happy ending!
