EDITED*

So where did we end? Oh yeah, the kiss. Tsk tsk, Iggy is failing at his "Operation" I smiled at the response to that. You guys don't like when people interfere with fax do you? Me too!

Don't want to be, the bad guy
And I'm blaming myself and I think you know whyI'm killing time
And time's killing you every way that I do

Friday third of August

Fang POV

I watched with glee as Max stormed off. That waitress had really pissed her off. Not like I liked that red head though. There was only one girl for me. In fact, said girl was flirting with some guy!

I watched as she said something and smiled. My fists clenched as if by themselves as he put his arm near her. Max smirked. She saw my fists clenching and she still flirted with him!

I walked up to them and heard him offer to give her a tour.

"Sorry, she's busy." I scowled at him.

"Oh, um, who's this?" I heaved a sigh of relied when he moved his arm.

"My fri-"

She was so not going to friend zone me. "Her boyfriend." I interrupted. The guy looked at her strangely as if wondering why she us been flirting with him if she had a boyfriend. I watched as he walked away.

"Boyfriend? Come on Fang! I was having fun! Now you know how I felt when that red headed wai-oh!" I pressed my lips to hers and she gasped.

Memories swirled around me. I was reminded of our first kiss, where everything had gone wrong. Of when I saw fireworks and heard angels singing, though I blew her off and cracked our friendship.

But back to the moment. I deepened our kiss, but did not get far. She pulled away and stammered. "Wh-wha- huh?"

Iggy came running. "Crap! I failed!" He wailed.

"Iggy! Go away for a second." I pleaded. I needed to tell her how I felt! I can't lose her agai-

"No Iggy, you stay. I'm not feeling so good." She opened the door to the ladies washroom and disappeared inside.

I was dazed. Why did she go?

"I failed my mission!" He face palmed.

"What mission?" I cried out.

"To stop you guys from kissing." He said bluntly.

"I wish you had stopped me, would have saved me the heart ache." I walked back to our table, no one had witnessed any of that.

Max POV

Oh god. I stared at myself in the mirror. Why did he kiss me? Did he think I was pretty? The girl in me asked. I looked in the mirror more critically, as if I was expecting a wolf mutant thing to stare back at me. But it didn't.

"Oh god." I repeated out loud. "What am I supposed to do?"

"Knock knock!" Nudge opened the door with a grin. "You thought I didn't see nothing! I saw EVERTHING! Great job making him jealous, great kiss!" Nudge gave me a thumbs up as she walked over to the sinks and washed her hands.

"Great? What does this mean?"

"That he likes you. Duh." Nudge rolled her eyes. "Wanna go shopping?"


We went shopping, I bought a bunch of candy at the abc stores. Gotta love Nerds. No, not the people, the- never mind.

While I listeners to Ella and Nudge idly chat about cute dresses and such, I realized I shouldn't have run away. Hello? I had wanted to kiss him for years! And when he makes the first move I pull away? What is wrong with me?

I face palmed and some little kid gave me a weird look like, "okaaaay, weird girl slapping her face for no reason, just gonna grab this candy and go..." Which he did. Leave I mean, after grabbing some airheads. The candy not the- never mind.

It hit me. I loved Fang. Since grade two. Everyone starts with likes right? I guess I did too, but after ten ish yeas, I guess my feelings grew stronger.

I winced on the outside. Now I'm going all gushy. Great. The same kid caught sight of me wincing and just slowly turned away.


Fang POV

"I can't believe it man!" I groaned. "She ran!"

Iggy shook his head as he grabbed a box of macadamia nuts. "I knew she would."

"And you didn't tell me? Would have stopped me."

"Fang." Iggy grabbed my shoulders. Some kid looked at us strangely, probably wondering if he was going to kiss me. "Max likes you back."

"She ran! Completely- what?"

"You got your memories back right? Don't you remember what the whole incident was even about?"

"Yeah, she kissed me because Lissa told her to."

"And because she liked you. Lissa was jealous and made her kiss you." He pointed out.

"Oh."

"Hey boys." Lissa came into our aisle. "Watcha talking about?"

"Nothi-" I started.

"Does Max like Fang?" Iggy interrupted bluntly.

"Yes." Lissa answered just as bluntly.

"See?" Iggy did a happy dance, causing the same kid to grab his mom's hand and leave the whole store altogether.

"Iggy stop dancing." Lissa commanded. "Fang," she turned to me. "It's Max's birthday January eleven. Get her something from Maui."

"Why?"

"You have some confessing to do today. And what better way to get her to remember then something from here?" Lissa pointed to a necklace. "That's perfect."


Max PoV

Awkward car ride. That's all I can say.

Gazzy insisted we go to the pool.

"Really Gazzy? Don't you just want to relax?" Ella slumped in the car. "I'm tired!"

"Must be all the shopping." Anne smiled at her. "I'm tired too. How 'bout Fang, Iggy and Max take you Lissa and Angel to the pool."

"Good." Nudge sighed. "I'm tired too."


"Max? I like you swimsuit." Angel grinned at me. "Ella has good taste."

"Oh be quiet. I wish she could keep her good taste to herself." The swimsuit Ella had picked out for me was a baby blue two piece, I think they were all two piece, and was a halter top.

We four older kids walked Gazzy and Angel to the pool, where they immediately jumped in the pool and had a splashing fight. Lissa went to sunbathe in the chairs and Iggy awkwardly stayed with us.

"Sooooooooo..." He dragged out the o's. "I'm just going to be by Lissa..." He followed Lissa. Mumbling about "abort operation" and what a lost case it was.

"Fang, I'm going to follo-"

"Max." Fang grabbed my arm as I tried to go. "I want to talk to you."

He lead me to the edge of the pool and we sat down. I stared into the water as he sighed.

"I'm sure Iggy told you, I've got some certain memories back." He chuckled. "I want-need to apologize to you. I never meant what I said to you in second grade."

"Sure." I said sarcastically. The word was dragged out of my mouth.

"Really!" Fang grabbed my shoulders and made me face him. "I love you Max. I think I always did."

"You're lying! You really broke my heart when you said- what? wai-ah-wha-huh?" I couldn't form coherent words anymore.

"I have loved you Max." He said more boldly. "And I really regret what I said to you back then. When I first remembered the memories, I wanted to go back to being friends. But I don't anymore."

"What?" I managed to get out of my mouth. Gosh my mouth was dry. And was Maui usually this hot? Of course it is Max, I scolded myself. This is Maui, it's supposed to be hot. It's kinda known to be h-

"No, i want to be something more." He kissed me softly, completely sending thoughts about weather out of my head. I didn't pull away this time, I could feel him smiling against my lips. Dimly I heard Nudge clapping, Lissa cheering, and Iggy running over and pushing us into the water

Wait, what?

"IGGY!" I shrieked as the cold water washed over Fang and I. Iggy just started laughing hysterically, which Lissa ended abruptly by shoving *him* into the water.

"Fang." I grabbed his hands as he shook the water out of his hair. I looked him straight in the eye. "I think I love you too." And I kissed him sweetly. The world could have ended by tsunami, and I wouldn't have cared.


FAX! OMIGOSH I LOVE FAX! Ahem, sorry. If you noticed, the last sentence is based on Nevermore and Percy Jackson. I loved that underwater kiss in Percy Jackson, PERCABETH all the way! Wait no, a mix of Nevermore and Breaking Dawn. Yeah that's it. But I still ship PercyxAnnabeth!

Review please! And friending my Facebook might bring on more fax! Come on guys, I really want to post Max's dresses, but I won't with only four friends. Thanks by the way to those four friends, I really appreciate it.

APOLOGIZE FOR MISTAKES. DID THIS ON MY IPOD.
