I've been avoiding this, cuz I already wrote it all in my mind and didn't want to bother time writing it on the computer and posting it, but- yeah, this fic NEEDED a sequel. So that's what I did. I wrote the sequel.

Disclaimer: I am NOT the owner of Maximum ride, James Patterson is. (No freaking DUH!)


Of course, we didn't go very far with the kissing. I mean, how far could we go in a dark and completely un-romantic parking lot? So after a few minutes we finally got our brains back and decided to go looking for Angel.

And Nudge. Had to find Nudge. And talk to her. Punish her. Make sure she never sees daylight ag-

And there she was. Nudge. Right in front of me.

Fang gripped my hand tighter, once again, stopping me before I could give her a piece of my mind.

"What?" I asked, annoyed. Just let me go over there and publicly humiliate her, so she'll be scarred for life.

"I'm not letting you go over there until you promise not to embarrass Nudge."

"WHAT? She needs to be embarrassed. I mean, who does she think she is?" I glared at Fang.

"She thinks that she's just like any teenage girl with an overprotective sister." He said.

"I am NOT over-"

"Max." He said, giving me that- yes you are look.

I sighed, "Fine. Whatever. I promise. Just let me get over there befo-"

"Before what? They're just talking." He pointed out.

That was true. Although I DID see some handholding, it also DID seem mostly innocent.

I walked over but before I was even twenty feet away, Nudge's face whipped in my direction. She looked almost horrified.

"Max! Fang!" She exclaimed, standing up.

I nodded, "Yes, that is my name."

"Uh- Um, this is Roby." She said, turning to her . . . boyfriend.

"Hey, Roby." I said calmly.

He smiled, "Hello, Max. Uh- Fang. You're Nudge's brother and sister right?"

"Yep." I nodded.

"I've heard so-"

"Much about me? I doubt that." I said slightly sarcastic. Fang gave my hand a warning squeeze.

Roby- long shaggy brown hair that almost covered his eyes. He was tall and skinny, kinda gangly. He also had a sort of innocent quality about him. Ugh.

He blushed, "Well, it's true."

"Okay. So, Roby . . ." I turned to Nudge, "How long have you two been dating?"

She squeaked out an answer that even I didn't hear.

"What's that? I didn't hear you." I said.

Roby cleared his throat and answered for her, "Two months."

Shit. They'd gone two whole months without me knowing?!

"That's nice." I tried to keep my voice down.

Nudge looked confused, "It is?"

"No, not really. Not for me. But we'll talk about this later. I need you to try to . . . um, reach out to Angel. She ran off."

Nudge nodded, looking relieved at getting off so easily.

"Later, Max. And Fang." Roby called at we walked away.

I pretended I couldn't hear him.

But I did hear when he whispered to Nudge, "She's not as bad as you said."

I couldn't help smirking.

!~!~!

I looked EVERYWHERE. I called out to her in my mind. There was no response. No sign that she was even in the mall anymore.

I couldn't help letting out a string of curses.

"It's gonna be alright, Max. We'll find her." Fang tried to comfort me.

I nodded, but this really sucked. I don't know what's going on with Angel. Why would she just run off like that? Just because I wouldn't buy her a fish??? In fact, she could probably make the people give it to her for free or something-

I'm so stupid. I instantly broke out into a sprint. One place that I haven't looked in yet- the store where she disappeared.

Fang followed, "Where are we-"

"PetSmart."

A few minutes later I was looking at all the same animals, rushing down halls, bumping into things.

"Excuse me, can I help you?" A twenty or so year old dude asked me.

"Yeah. Have you seen an eight year old girl? Curly blonde hair? Pink shirt with white skirt?" I asked desperately.

"You mean Angel?" He asked.

"YES!" I said, surprised for a second that Angel would tell her real name to a stranger.

"She's down in the fish isle. Talking to . . ."

"The fish?" I nodded, already walking away.

"Hey! I don't think you should interrupt her-"

F***.

Angel was standing in front of the aquariums, muttering something, while all the fishes stared at her. Literally stared at her. They all seemed to be listening intently. They had stopped swimming, and were gathered in a large bunch around her. It even freaked me out.

F***.

She stood up, "Hi, Max."

"Hey . . . sweetie. What'cha doing?" I tried not to let it show how creeped out I was.

Fang, who finally appeared next to me, just walked up to her, as if he didn't even notice the strange fish.

"Ready to go home?" He asked, taking her hand.

She sighed, "I don't wanna leave."

"I know, but it's getting late." He answered, kneeling down.

Wow, this was one side of Fang that I've never seen before. He was being so gentle and patient.

She nodded, "I know. And I know about Nudge too. She really likes him, Max."

Angel turned to me. I sighed, "I'm afraid it's not usually that easy."

She shook her head, "I guess. Okay. I'm ready to go now."

I cautiously took her hand, and gave her a small smile.

Fang took my other hand, and we went to find Iggy and Gazzy.

!~!~!

Later that night, after I put Angel in bed, I went into my room and went to brush my teeth. I had gotten the largest room in the house, which meant me own bathroom.

When I came out I found . . . Fang. Lying on my bed.

"Fang!" I hissed, "What do you think you're doing?!"

"I'm thinking that I'm lying in your bed because I couldn't stop thinking of you. And I'm hoping that you'll let me sleep with you."

I blushed again, "I don't think we should."

"Why not?"

"Because- Gazzy is on the other side. And so is Iggy. They'll hear us."

"Hear us doing what? I just want to sleep with you. Think of it as a mini sleep-over."

My face turned redder, thinking(a lot of that going around lately, huh?) about that fact that all I had on was an old tank top that was too small and revealed about three inches of skin when I stretched and my p.j shorts that were also old and ratty.

He just snuggled deeper in the covers, "Well, your choice. But I'm staying here. I like your smell on the pillows and blankets . . ."

I thought of me going to sleep on his bed, of that perfect 'just Fang' smell that I loved, and couldn't help giggling.

Ew. Did I just giggle?

Before Fang could say anything else, I made up my mind, deciding that maybe this wasn't the worst idea, and scampered into bed. It was warm and comfy, but I stayed on my side, still unsure about the whole 'sleeping together' thing.

But it was pretty obvious Fang wasn't unsure. He instantly rolled over to me, and put his arm around my waist, holding me close against his chest.

"I just wanted to fall asleep holding you." He whispered in my ear.

And that's exactly what happened.


No, they did NOT do what you think they did. They're only about sixteen in this fic, and in my opinion that's still too young. Especially for Max.

I'm thinking of posting a small chapter with Iggy and Gazzy's little adventures, because I didn't really give them any attention or anything . . .

What do you think?(And yes, I'm asking YOU)
