DITED*

Pearl is absent from this AN because well, you'll see.

Disclaimer: Gosh what is the point in these? I am a teenage girl. I think that's reason enough. But, I ain't own Maximum Ride or it's characters. But my delicious ice cream cone I definitely own.

"You better run cuz she's gonna kill you when she gets out of these heels."

Fang POV

At that, Ella and Nudge took off, leaving behind hairbrushes and make up. Max growled but I could read her like a book. I could tell she grudgingly liked what they did.

"What's the occasion?" I asked smirking.

At this she looked a little uncomfortable and looked at the ground. Scuffed her feet on the carpet and her face was tinged with pink. Suddenly Angel passed by and whispered. "You're supposed to take her some place."

I panicked. We weren't even friends! Though I suspect we were. But I JUST CAN'T REMEMBER. It's like going out with a stranger! I was going to decline, but they all minus Max, gave me the Bambi eyes.

I turned to max and asked. "How about some ice cream?"

At ze ice cream shop

Max POV

"How may I help you?" A smiling purple haired girl stood behind the counter wielding an ice cream scoop.

I looked at all the flavors and drooled slightly. There was so much! "Um, I'll have the… cookie dough." I answered. She was pretty but upon closer look to her face, her eyes were also purple. Probably contacts. Not that didn't make her pretty but- I'm going to stop talking.

I watched Fang decide. He had looked surprised when I had knocked on the door but had hid it in a flash. Ever since the incident in grade 2, Ella and Nudge had been trying to get us together. I told them it only works if the two both like each other. As far as I know, Fang only likes me as his friend.

"I'll have chocolate." Fang finally chose.

"Coming right up!" The girl's perkiness was starting to get to me.

After scooping, (snicker,) the ice cream, she gave us another dazzling smile and waved. "Bye!"

We sat outside on the tables. Being a Friday, it was quite busy. I finished my ice cream in minutes, but Fang was only half way done.

"Have you always eaten slowly?" I asked.

"Yes. I'm surprised you just noticed." He rolled his eyes.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing."

We ate in silence when I just couldn't take it anymore. Quick as lightening, I dabbed my finger in his ice cream and wiped it down the bridge of his nose.

He stared at me, until he grabbed a bunch and put it on my cheeks.

i shrieked with laughter and people stared at e funny. I just stuck my tongue out at them.

Fang laughed, but looked thoughtful.

"What?" I said breathless from laughing.

"Well, I always thought of you like stone." He looked uncomfortable.

"Stone?" I raised an eyebrow.

"You know, no laughing, smiling, having fun." He shrugged.

"I do too have fun!" I protested.

"Not with me."

"Huh? What is that supposed to mean?" I asked again.

"Nothing," He answered with a smirk.


He finally finished, we got up and I slipped back in side the store to tip the girl. She grinned at me, flashing perfect teeth.

Fang took me to a park and we sat on the benches. We sat in silence, silence soon turning out to be the third person on this outing, until he broke the silence which was unusual.

"Max? Can I ask you something?'

"You already did." I crossed my legs, feeling awkward.

"Haha smart ass. Did anything, significant happen in grade 2?"

I was shocked. I'm pretty sure my face betrayed me, but I covered it up with a smirk. "Significant? That's a pretty big word for you oh silent one."

He normally would have chuckled, but he just looked a little lost. "It's been bothering me, all I remember is pain. Were we friends? Does this have anything to do with you?"

Again, I covered my horror with a smile. "Not everything has to do with me Fang, and if you want to be friends, just ask." This couldn't be happening. If he found out what I had written and what I had done, I would be in big doodoo and might possibly lose his friendship. Well, what little I have at the moment.

He gave me an exasperated look. "Fine, I see I'm not going to get any answers from you."

"That's right!" I grinned.

He just sighed asked, "Ready to go home now?"

"Sure." I replied. We were next-door neighbors, so we'd be seeing each other later.


At Max's House

Fang waved good bye to me as he opened the door to his house. I waved back and when I stepped into my house, I was hit with the heavenly smell of… CHOCOLATE COOKIES!

I dashed into the kitchen and sure enough, there was mom taking the cookies out f the oven. She laughed and said, "Great timing. You always manage to come right when the cookies come out."

"It's my super power." I laughed as well.

"I'm glad it's not something like super sonic speed or mind reading." She raised an eyebrow as she slapped my hand that was reaching out to get a cookie. "They're sill hot. Come back in twenty minutes."

I sighed and said, "I'll be in my room."

I got up to my room and threw myself onto my bed. I quickly shot back out of bed because of how uncomfortable it was in my dress. I stripped and got into my shorts and camisole. I threw myself onto my bed again and thought. Omigod, what if he remembers! If he does, we can't be friends like we used to! I bit my lip. It would be terribly uncomfortable to be friends knowing the other had tried to kiss the other. I was about to start hyperventilating when a knock on my patio doors reached my ears.

I walked over and opened it to reveal the devil himself.

"Max! Come quick!" he whispered.

"Why are we whispering?" I whispered.

"Just get over here!"

"Why? We aren't even friends!"

He looked a little sad. "But we were! I know it!"

I just looked at him. "We weren't but I'll go with you."

We jumped over my patio to his. Relax, they are built so close, you couldn't fit a toaster in between them.

When we got in his room, his panicked expression heightened and he said, "It's Lisa."

Lissa is well, the typical, cliche, slutty girl who doesn't know how to talk normally, a real airhead and she can't keep her claws off ANY one

"What about her?"

"She's in my bathroom."
