EDITED*

Fang- You're making me seem oblivious and forgetful in this story.
Pearl-You are.
Fang- Am not!
Dragon- No use denying it Fangy, you are.

A little bit about my trip: the plane ride was a torturous 5 hours and 22 minutes. Had shin splints the entire plane.

Disclaimer: Don't own. Just this plot and Pearl.

Monday evening the dinner:

Max POV

At five thirty, Ella, Nudge and I knocked on the door to the Ride's. Fang opened it and said, "hey, dinner's-" then stopped. He stared at me like I was a specimen. A girly one. A barbie doll.

"Um, you look different." he stated.

I laughed; "yeah, like a model threw up on me." but I of course meant that as a compliment.

Ella and Nudge slipped by Fang after winking at me. This left us in an awkward silence. I had to say something before he asked about grade two.

"So...you like?" I twirled around. I remember doing this in grade two, showing him the disgusting frilly dress the principal had made me wear. Fang had replied, "you've worn better," but today, right here and right now, he blushed.

"It looks great." he scuffed his toe on the ground. "Really great."

"Thanks." cue another awkward silence. I was about to say something about the weather or, "hey! My favourite book Nevermore came out! Wanna borrow it?" Luckily Fang's mom Alice came to the rescue.

"Come in! Don't just stand there!" she fussed, pulling me into the house and shutting the door. "Foods going to get cold!"

We all piled into the Ride's dining room. Their table was on the large side, so we had no trouble fitting in. At the head of the table was Iggy, and then going to the right of him was Fang, Ella, Nudge, mom, Alice and I. Nudge was sitting at the other head.

It was a fun evening, filled with laughter, eating, and a tiny food fight started by Fang. Or Iggy. Depends on how you look at it. Okay, maybe not so tiny. This is how it started:

"Fang," Iggy says innocently, "I love your "formal" outfit."

Fang was wearing black jeans, a black t shirt and a black tie. Very "formal."

"Um, thanks?" Fang continued eating his meatballs. I braced myself for what would came next.

"One might call it...emo." Iggy smirked.

All conversation stopped. Everyone knows Fang does NOT like to he called emo. Or hinted that he's emo. His family knew and my family only knew because I found this out in kindergarten. Long story.

Anyways, Nudge gets up and slowly backs away, but she was too late.

"TAKE THAT BACK YOU-" and Fang throws his meatball at Iggy. Oh hell.

"Sh-" Alice cut off and dove under the table as Iggy threw his meatball at Fang.

"Never!" he cackled as he tried to throw his spaghetti at Fang. Fang leaped out of the way and in front of Nudge He then ducked, causing the plate of noodles to go flying and SPLAT!

The silence was so thick in the room that you could throw a spork and it wouldn't cut it. The noodles slid down Nudge's face and down her shiny blue knee length dress.

"Iggy, YOU ARE SO FRICKING DEAD!" she screamed as she hurled her meatballs at Iggy.

Iggy used his plate to deflect it and the meatball hurtled toward Ella. Iggy tried to yell a warning but he was a little late. It went down her pink dress and down it. As in, into the boob area.

I couldn't help it, I snorted. Ella blushed and threw her noodles at me, but Ella isn't very hand eye coordinated. It flew toward Fang, but he ducked.

It turned into a full out food fight, with the moms yelling at everyone to stop from under the table and everyone was covered in food except for Fang and I.

In all the chaos, Fang took my hand and tugged me towards the door, he slipped on a meatball and down we went. Don't worry, he cushioned my fall.

I processed that. He. Cushioned. My. Fall. I rewinded. Llaf. Ym. Denoihsuc. Eh. I WAS ON TOP OF HIM.

We both flushed and I slowly bent my head forwards, he was reaching up and- SPLASH

I looked up at Iggy, who had dumped his juice on me. He smirked.

"Oops?"

"Iggy! EAT DIRT!" I yelled as I got off Fang.

"There's no dirt around here Max," he pointed out.

"Not inside," I slyly said.

"NO!" he screamed as I pulled him by the ear towards the door. Where I then smashed his face into the dirt.

"Forgive me bestie." I smiled sweetly.

"That's about it." Nudge wiped her hands on a towel. We had cleaned up everything, me and Fang studiously ignoring each other.

"Great, well, we better get going," mom said.

"Bye Valencia, sorry about the boys."

"It's okay." mom laughed.

"Bye!" we yelled as we left the Ride's.

"Get any action Max?" Ella wiggled her eyebrows.

"No, you can thank your boyfriend." I snapped. Not like I wanted to kiss him.

"HE'S NOT ME BOYFRIEND!"
