Disclaimer: I don't own MR or JP. lol.

Hah! Just an idea...should I continue?

Hi. I'm James Patterson. Most of you probably know and love the book Maximum Ride, well let's go behind the scenes. I'll tell you how this…interview for the book happened.

"Hello Max. Flock." I nodded at the 6 bird kids and their dog. "Max's mom said that Max would be okay with an interview, is it okay with you 6?"

They nodded crankily. I guess they didn't like talking to non-avians. Actually, I'm Dr. Martinez's friend, and she hired me to make a book about the wonderful adventures of Maximum Ride and her Flock. Of course I agreed! Who hasn't heard of Fang's Blog?

"So, first I shall talk to you altogether, but I would later want to hear you 7 separately.

I could've sworn their dog smiled. "You want to talk to me too?!"

I smiled and nodded, motioning for them all to sit down on the couch in front of me. "Now, would you like me to-"

"I'll just tell you the story." Max snarled.

Okay…I was a little freaked out, but I had to get used to it. She and her flock were staying at the same cabin as me…

Max began. "So…did my mom really approve of this? She knows I don't like people asking about my life."

I nodded wordlessly and wrote that down.

"Okay, so, I'm Megan. I like to wear Tutus. They are so cute! And that is Francesca!" 'Megan' pointed at the boy next to her. "He is like, so hot! BUT he likes to eat cheese too much, so he acts like an idiot. Like one time, he started having a cheese fight…with himself. AND he bathes in cheese. But don't worry! It's mozzarella! Then next to him is Frankie. Frankie is the brother of the Jonas Brothers. Although, he likes to blink, so sometimes he blinks so much, it looks like he's blind. But he's not. Then, that's Mary! Mary talks a lot, but she HATES boys. She thinks they have cooties! Cause they DO! Then that is Jerry. He hates people named Tom. He thinks they will turn into cats and eat him, but everyone knows he'll outsmart them! Then that's his sister Dairy. Dairy is lactose intolerant. But she doesn't care, she drinks it anyway. She HATES cheese, but she loves to eat desert rat. And, we'll be leaving now." 'Megan' said as she quickly got up and fast walked towards the door, her flock following.

"Oooh no. Sit back down. We are going to have a real interview. Think of it as a…Q&A."

"Like U&A? Where we fly away?" 'Jerry' asked.

This was going to be harder than I thought. I quickly scribbled down what 'Jerry' said, and shook my head back up at them.

"No…I ask. You answer."

The teenage boy in black and dark red groaned. I nodded and got situated.

"So, first tell me all your names."

'Megan' glanced at the boy that groaned and he rolled his eyes. So…I'm guessing they had a little connection. I'll remember that.

"Okay…so, I am Maximum Ride. But don't call me that. Call me Max. And definitely not Maxine…I'm 15. 2nd Oldest. I have super speed in flying. This is Fang." She said pointing to the boy from before. "He doesn't really have a last name. He is the oldest. I'm the leader though. Fang is kind of quiet. Sometimes…" So, Max is younger than Fang, but leader? I think I'll make Max older by 4 months, so it'll be more…interesting. (A/N lol. I just felt like writing that.)

"So, next in line is Iggy. He's also 15, like Fang and I. He's blind. Some whitecoats, scientists, were doing experiments and…well, yeah. Iggy can hear super good and can make bombs really well. Next is Nudge. She's 12. Good at computers and has this thing where she touches and she can see what people think and stuff… Then, Gazzy. 9 years. He's really Gasman. And, well, let's just say he has a lot of gas in his body… He can also mimic people's voices. Angel, 7, can read minds, talk to fish, talk to people from their minds, control minds, and…well, yeah. Her and Nudge also have the power of…bambi eyes."

"Well, that was a lot to write down…"

"We're not done yet." Max grinned. "Total. Total is our dog…but don't call him that. He likes to be treated like a human and all. So… now individual interviews?"

I nodded, and said I'd go down the line. "Max, you can go first."

In The Room With Max

(Max's POV)

Okay, I was in a room, alone, with some random guy who asks us questions, and we answer. So, we might've destroyed Itex, but you can't blame me for still being on the look out. Being a mutant bird freak, you always have to be on the look out. Like, you could be having a good time flying with your family when BAM! Someone shoots you brother, because they think he's a bird and it's bird season. Yeah, that's what I thought.

"Okay, so Fang's older than you?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Do you…have feelings for him?"

"NO."

JP nodded and wrote something down smiling. I stretched up, trying to read what he wrote, but JP just grinned at me and lifted the book up higher.

"Tell me more about Fang and you…"

I scowled. "Okay…well, you see, Fang is my right-hand man. Always there for me. He's my best friend." I was starting to get more comfortable with him, and I spread my legs out on the cough, laying back as if I was taking therapy…which I probably needed with my life.

"So, he's the one I feel most comfortable with, ya know? I mean, yeah I feel comfortably around the whole flock, but he's my best friend. He's there to catch me when I fall and all."

I glanced at JP and saw him smirking and writing down something. He looked up at me and smiled. "So, you're saying you like him?"

"Yeah-wait, no! What the hell?!"

He gave me a look and I glared at him. "This is for the book now, Max. It's not like they'll read it, unless you want them to. You are the leader."

I guess he was right…I will just tell them not to read it! "Well…Fang is…is…"

I looked around, avoiding JP's gaze. "I guess I do…I mean, you can't blame me though, right? His hair is so…and his face…and the way he…yeah."

"So is that a yes?"

"YES IT'S A YES DAMNIT!" I was starting to get frustrated.

I already said I liked him once, does he WANT me to admit it again? JP just smiled, not scared of me at all, and wrote it down.

"So, tell me more about how you feel about him."

I frowned. "Okay…I mean, I was jealous…" He raised his eyebrows and I went on. "We went to this school once…Not that evil school! I'll tell you about that later…well, I guess it was an evil school. So, Fang kissed this…this girl. This stupid red-haired wonder! I was soo mad. The voice in my head told me I was jealous, but I guess I didn't believe it back then…and that was only, like, a year ago. Before that, I did kiss him first. He was on a beach, almost dead because of my brother, and I…kindofgavehimapeckonthelips. But it wasn't anything serious! Then later he, well, I- I was mad…so we went to a place in a cave right? And then he kissed me. Well, I did kiss back, but he kissed me." I stopped there and glanced to look at JP.

JP was nodding and just finished writing. "I see. So tell me about this 'voice in your head'."

I was happy that he was getting off the subject of Fang and I. "Yeah. I got this voice in my head. He helped me through a lot. I couldn't really tell what gender it was, but then I found out it was Jeb. Jeb is my dad… He helped the flock and I escape from the school, and took us to his E shaped house. He was like a father to us, until he left us. Back then I didn't know we were related. We thought he betrayed us, but he was really just protecting us. We still don't trust him as much though, but we're warming up to him."

JP smiled. "Gazzy and Angel?"

"Yeah, they're brother and sister. Angel is like my baby. She found Total and has a stuffed bear named Celestes. And don't give Gazzy beans."

JP chuckled and wrote that down. "Now, anything going on between Nudge and Iggy?"

I raised an eyebrow. "Not that I know of…"

He nodded. "So tell me about this 'evil school'."

"They are the whitecoats. THEY are the ones that took Iggy's eyes out. THEY are the ones that turned us into winged freaks. Mutants. Outsiders. The smell of their lab. The antiseptic smell. It was horrible."

JP shook his head frowning. I'm glad somebody felt sorry for us. But we didn't need pity.

"Tell me more of yourself."

"I have a mom and a sister. But I didn't know until recently. My mom is Dr. Martinez, as you know, and my sister? Ella Martinez. I guess my name would be Max Martinez, but it's Max. Max Ride. I first met them when I saved Ella from these bullies. Then I got shot and went to her house. And…yeah. Can you talk to someone else now? I'm hungry."

"Okay, but I'll have to call you back in later."

"Yeah yeah."

I walked out. That was interesting. Actually, it was. I admitted that I liked Fang…

"Hey, how was it?" Fang asked me, in his totally hot voice.

His bangs were hanging over his eyes, because his head was tilted a little down as he leaned against the wall folding his arms. He looked so…hott.

"Max? Answer me. Are you going to answer me or keep staring?"

I blushed. "Oh, it was…interesting. Really."

He nodded and a voice rang through the speakers of the cottage.

"Fang? Come in."

Fang looked up and looked back down to me. "Gotta go. Wish me luck."

He flashed me a once in a while smile that brightened my day, and left to go into the room. I guess I do like him…
