Disclaimer: I don't own Maximum Ride.

Chapter 8

Max P.O.V.

We all headed into Fang's minivan and got in. It was really weird seeing Fang drive a minivan, but there weren't a lot of vehicles that could hold all of us. The car ride consisted of Ella and Nudge giggling, Iggy singing at the top of his lungs to the songs on the radio, Angel and Gazzy talking quietly to each other, Destiny playing with one of her toys, and Fang and I, trying to block out all the noise. It was actually so loud that people passing by would look at us and our car like we were psychos.

Finally, we made it to the mall. I jumped out of the car and stretched. Slowly, everyone got out of the car. I walked to the side of the car and pulled Destiny out of her car seat and rested her on my hip.

"Let's go guys. I want this to be quick." I said, walking toward the entrance. Everyone followed. When we came inside, I turned back around and faced everyone. "Okay so, since you all have some cash on you, you guys can go wherever you want. As long as you don't cause any trouble." I looked pointedly at Iggy and Gazzy. They smirked. "You have 2 hours and that's it. Got it?" They all nodded and walked away to do whatever they wanted. Fang stayed right by my side.

"Where do you want to go?" I asked Destiny.

"The pet store!" She said immediately. I groaned. She always wanted to go there.

"The pet store?" Fang repeated. I sighed and nodded.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Destiny shouted. I laughed and we all walked to the pet shop.

When we got there, I put Destiny down. Fang just stood there, staring at all the animals through the window.

"Let's go Daddy!" She began to pull on his arm. He chuckled and let her take both of us inside. She immediately squealed when she saw all the animals, causing everyone's attention to be on us.

"Oh, Mama! Look!" She pointed to a rabbit, looking like it was best thing on Earth. I smiled widely. I loved seeing her so happy. I looked over at Fang and saw that he too, was smiling.

"May I help you?" A blonde woman came over, smiling at us. I looked down at Destiny, who was looking at me with her Bambi eyes. I sighed.

"One second." I said to the woman. She nodded. I crouched in front of Destiny. "Do you really want a pet?" She nodded.

"With all my heart!" She exclaimed. I smiled. She was so dramatic sometimes, but I loved it.

"Well, I bet that if you ask Daddy, he'll get you a pet." I grinned evilly.

"Really?" She asked bouncing up and down. "Promise?" I turned back to Fang and gave him that glare that meant that he had to say yes. I turned back to Destiny.

"Promise. Now, are you going to ask him?" I asked and stood. She nodded her head eagerly. She ran over to Fang.

"Daddy, pleeeeease, can I have a pet?" She asked, grabbing onto his leg.

He laughed. "I don't know…" He trailed off. Then, Destiny did something that would guarantee her a pet. She stuck out her bottom li and gave him the Bambi eyes. He instantly softened.

"Sure sweetie, you can have one." He said softly. She squealed and hugged Fang hard. He stood back up and said to the lady,

"Can we get her something easy to manage? Like-"

"A goldfish?" She interrupted him. He nodded. "Okay, follow me." Destiny grabbed Fang and I's hands and dragged us to the fish section. When we got there, the lady turned back to Fang and me.

"So, a goldfish?"

I glanced at Fang. "Yeah, a goldfish would be good for her." I stroked Destiny's hair. The woman smiled at us before nodding and walking away.

"Mama?" Destiny looked up at me.

"Yeah?"

"Can I have a cinnabon?" I laughed. She loved those things. But she almost always had to have a bath after eating it.

"What do you think?" I asked Fang. He shrugged and said,

"Sure."

Destiny smiled wide. "Thank you!" I laughed out loud at Fang.

"It's official." I said. "You have no backbone, whatsoever."

"Oh, yes I do!" He protested.

"Uh huh, you keep telling yourself that buddy." The woman came back with a baggie filled with water. And inside that baggie filled with water, was tiny goldfish. It didn't look too exciting to me, but Destiny sure thought it was. She bounced around, looking super happy.

The woman handed Destiny her fish. "I wanna name him…" She thought. "Harry Potter!" She smiled brightly. Fang raised an eyebrow.

"She's watched the movies about a million times." I answered. I turned and caught a few words of what Destiny was saying to "Harry".

"You're a fish Harry."

HAHAHAHA! For some reason, i found what Destiny said to Harry was sooooo funny! I was cracking up as i wrote it. I'm weird, i know. But, cute right? I like it.

Question: Do you think that I'm a good author? I mean, i'm 12 going on 13, i don't think that i'm very good, but whatever.

Please review! (:
