Max POV

Finally! The weekend! Whoop whoop!

This weekend, our family had invited Fangs family and Ella to dinner. After dinner Ella, Nudge, and Angel were going to spend the night with me and Fang with Gazzy and Iggy.

For dinner we ordered some of the biggest pizzas that I've ever seen.

It had to be two feet across. We had ordered three of the big pizzas and there wasn't enough room for them. We had one on the counter, one on the island, and mom had to bring in another table for the third one.

After dinner the adults made us go outside and 'socialize'. Mom, Mrs. Walker, and Mr. Walker stayed in and talked.

We all stood there wondering what to do.

Then an idea popped into my head. We could play Hide N Seek. But that's for little kids.

But then before I could stop myself I blurted out, "How about we play Hide N Seek?"

Everyone looked at me like I was crazy. "Are you serious?" Iggy asked

"Uh yeah. Why don't we? If we do we could play the advanced version."

(The advanced version is just a wider range to hide. Like hiding in the whole neighborhood instead of at one house.)

"I'm in" Ella said "It seems fun."

"Okay me too" Nudge said

"Me three" Gazzy said

"Okay I'm in." Iggy and Angel said together.

We all looked at Fang waiting for his answer. Nudge and Angel did their Bambi eyes and Fang stared right at them.

"Fine. But I'm not it," Fang answered. "and just stop with the Bambi eyes."

"Okay here are the rules!" I started saying "We play all along this street. If you leave the street you're automatically it. If you get tagged by the seeker then you're it. And no going inside."

Then without a warning Gazzy shouted "ONE TWO THREE NOT IT!"

Everyone shouted "Not it!" Except for Angel.

"Okay Angel is it. Count to 100 then come find us." Iggy told her.

We all ran off in separate directions.

I ended up two houses down from ours and scaled the tree. I grabbed a branch and started climbing up.

When I made it up I looked around. Sometimes I think that my eyes are programmed for the night. I could see Ella hiding in a bush three houses down, Gazzy sprinting down the street, Nudge squatting next to a mailbox and Fang right below me.

Wait. What? Fang right below me?!

"Fang! What are you doing?! Get away or you'll blow my hiding spot!" I whisper-screamed.

"Woah! Max? Sorry I didn't see you up there."

Just then I saw Angel running towards us. I quickly climbed down the tree and start running with Fang at my tail.

"What are we going to do?" He asked while we ran.

"Well I don't know about you but I know I don't have to outrun Angel. All I have to do is outrun you!" I tell him.

I extended my foot and tripped and fell into the grass in someone's front lawn. Fell on my stomach so rolled onto my back. That was a bad idea because A second later Fang also tripped and landed on top of me. The air in my lungs felt like it had been knocked out of me. I could feel my wings being crushed by Fangs weight.

"Fuck! Ouch! Fang! Man you weigh a freaking ton! What have you been eating, rocks?" I asked him as we were on the ground.

"Why? Your head missing some?" he countered.

Just then the lights turned on at the house we were at.

Oh shit! This was Lissa's house!

With Fang still on top of me, we stayed as still as possible.

Then the front door burst open and 3 girls walked out.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my front yard?!" I heard Lissa scream

Then one of them started walking over two us.

Fang and I didn't dare to move a muscle. I looked around and could see Angel watching us from a distance. Everything was quiet. The only sound was the steps on the cold, wet grass by three teenage girls.

I could see Lissa's red hair in the moonlight.

"Fang?" One of them asked. Judging by the voice I'm guessing it was Maggie. Maggie was okay I guess. We never argued like me and Lissa did.

"Oh my gosh! Fang! What a surprise!" Lissa exclaimed in her stupid little flirty voice.

I didn't think any of them saw me until Maggie pointed it out. "Hey Max" she said cooly

I tried to say "Hi Maggie" but it come out "Hufgh Muhgy" because Fangs shoulder was practically in my mouth.

"Max!" Lissa spat my name out like it was poison. "What do you think you're doing in my front lawn?!"

I pushed Fang off of me so I could speak.

"What does it look like? I was having some fun with my new best bud Fang." I told her as I playfully punched Fang in the shoulder.

I swear, even in the dark I could see her face get a little red from anger and jealousy.

I looked and Fang and caught his eye and mentally said to him "Fang! Back me up here!"

He seemed to understand the look I sent him him and told the three girls, "Uh yeah. My best friend and I were just messing around like always." He playfully punched my arm.

"Looked like a little bit more than messing around." Brigid muttered under her breath.

Just the Angel ran up and tagged Fang and screamed at the top of her lungs, "FANG'S IT!"

"Oh goodie. More people. Who else is here on my lawn, Ride?!"

As if on cue Iggy, Gazzy, and Nudge walk up to us. I didn't see Ella anywhere.

"Well Ride! Why don't you and your flock get off of my yard before I'm forced to call authorities."

"That seems kind of harsh now. Doesn't it?" I asked plastering a fake innocent look on my face.

Without another word she sashayed back up to her front door. Right before she walked in she turned back and said "Bye Fang!" In her most flirty and cutesy voice.

Gross. Gag me with a spoon.

Then I heard Angel mutter, "I think I just threw up a little in my mouth."

Gazzy and Iggy chuckled after she said that and Nudge cracked a smile.

Brigid made a "Humph!" sound and quickly followed her in but Maggie lingered for a bit.

Before she walked in she said "Bye Max." and went into the Lyons household.

After that we played a couple more rounds of hide n seek while being careful to avoid Lissa's house. After our last round we all sat at the table in our backyard.

Once we all caught our breath, Fang's parents walk out.

"Kids, we're leaving!" Mrs. Walker hollered at us.

"Okay! Bye Mom! Love you!" Nudge hollered back.

"Bye!" Fang also hollered

"Bye! Love you!" Angel called out.

"Love you too!" Mrs. Walker answered.

After they left Gazzy asked, "Soo, what do y'all want to do?"

"I dunno." Ella said. She reappeared after the Lissa incident. She claimed she was hiding the whole time.

Then Mom walked out. "Hey kids! Do y'all wanna start up a bonfire?" She asked

"Yes! Do we have marshmallows?" I asked. I loved when we did bonfires. When Iggy, Gazzy and I were little we used to eat marshmallows then jump into the pool, fully clothed. But we can't do that now because Fang, Nudge, Angel, and Ella would find out about the wings.

"Uh yeah. I think we have a couple bags in the pantry. Can you go check?" Mom asked.

"Sure." I answered and got up.

I returned with 15 bags of marshmallows. I know what you're thinking. 15 bags! It's not realistic but since Iggy, Gazzy, and I eat so much. We like to stock up. Because of our wings, we digest food and burn off calories faster than the average human would. So since we burn more calories, we need more energy, so we eat more food.

Nobody seemed surprised by the amount of food.

"We should play Chubby Bunny." Iggy announces.

"Okay. Count me in. But just don't cry when I beat your sorry butt." I tell Iggy.

Just like that, one by one, we all joined in the contest.

For those of you don't know how to play Chubby Bunny, here's how.

First you put one marshmallow in your mouth and then say Chubby Bunny. Then you put another marshmallow in your mouth and say Chubby Bunny. You keep doing that until you can't fit anymore in your mouth. The person who says Chubby Bunny the most wins.

I went first and got 5. My record is 8. Ella got 3. Gazzy got 3. Angel got 4. Nudge got 2 before she laughed so hard she had to spit them out. Iggy also got 5. We were all waiting on Fang now. We watched as he put marshmallow number 5 in his mouth and said "Chubby Bunny". I stared at him in awe as he beat my score and made it to 7! Then I guess he couldn't hold the marshmallows in his mouth anymore and spit a couple out and chewed up the rest.

For the rest of the night we roasted marshmallows around the fire.

I woke to a scream. "IGGY!"

It's Ella. I got out of bed and ran to the bathroom. I saw Ella at the sink trying to scrub something off of her face.

I turned to the mirror and see my face. Right along my forehead in black marker it says "Fang was here :)" There's also two big hearts on my cheeks.

Holy shit. I was going to hurt them so bad.

I look at Ella and see what's on her face. Along her forehead it says "I LUV IGGY!" with a bunch of hearts around it. I snort because it's true.

Ella glares at me for a second then continues scrubbing her face.

Nudge walks in and sees what's on her face. It says "I love Gazzy and Iggy". She stares at her reflection in horror for a minute then grabs the soap from Ella.

By now Angel is awake and mumbles "Guys. It's 6 in the morning. Go back to-" she stops when she sees her face. Hers too says "I love Iggy and Gazzy" Then, like Nudge and Ella, she grabbed the soap.

All of a sudden an idea popped into my head.

"Guys. Wait. I have an idea."

Morning

"MAX!" I wake up and rub my eyes. Did someone call me?

"MAXIMUM RIDE WHAT THE HELL!" I think that was Iggy.

Hee hee. That means they found our surprise.

I quietly walk out of bed being careful to not wake anyone when I realize that I'm the last one up.

I walk over to Iggy's room and see Ella, Angel, and Nudge lying on the ground crying and laughing.

I go to Iggy's bathroom and open the door.

Iggy, Gazzy, and Fang stare right at me.

Flashback

Nudge and I tiptoe to Iggy's bed. She pulls out the pink permanent marker. Perfect.

I grab it from her and start doodling on Iggy.

Iggy and Gazzy sleep like rocks. Nothing can wake them up. Not even the fire alarm. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing. But for tonight, it's a good thing.

I drew a handlebar mustache on Iggy. And because Iggy is sleeping rock, Nudge was able to draw hearts all along his arms and stomach.

When we finished with Iggy he looked like he had the chicken pox but with hearts. To top it off I wrote on his forehead "I worship Max like she's a goddess."

I look over to where Angel and Ella are. They colored on Gazzy. Instead of drawing on him they graffitied on him. I don't know whose idea it was but one of them started writing random words on his stomach and arms. I saw the words Ham, Angel, Nudge, Brick, Sand which, School, Glop, Sofa, ect. Random things like that.

All four of us moved to Fang. I didn't know what kind of sleeper he was so none of of dared to draw on his stomach. So I did his face and wrote "I love Max" I drew hearts all around it. Ella got the arms. She did zebra stripes all along them. Nudge got the right leg and Angel got the left. They wrote random words again.

When we finished we all crept out of the room and went back to my room and fell asleep.

Flashback Over

I burst with laughter and fell on the ground beside Angel. The boys closed the door and tried to scrub what we did off. I smiled and kept on laughing.

QOTC: when did you have your first sleepover?

AOTC: 4th or 5th grade i think. when i woke up my friends dog was giving birth to puppies right next to me.

remember to stay swaggy and peace out :)
