Gabby: I don't own Maximum Ride. But I wish I did.

Max: Why did you make this?

Gabby: Because it's hysterical.

Max: *coughs* Stupid! *coughs*

Gabby: Hey! Okay, everyone is one year older than they were in MAX. Okay?

"Max!" Angel called.

"What?" I yelled back.

"Look what your mom got me!" She climbed onto the couch, where I was sitting, and waved a device in my face. "An iPod Touch!" (A.N. I own one, they're total pwnage!)

"That's nice sweetie. Wait- what about me?" I wanted one, too. I know, I sound like a two-year-old, but hey, they look awesome!

"She got you something better," she replied as if it were obvious.

"What is it?" What could be better than an iPod anything? Two iPods, but still.

"An iPhone," she giggled. Sometimes, this nine-year-old was so damn cute!

Thanks Max! she said.

"Oh, you read my mind, don't tell anyone," I said.

"K."

"So…where is my iPhone?" I asked.

"Oh, right here," she dug in her Apple® bag. "Take it, before I switch them out."

I grabbed the box and opened the plastic container. The phone was so sleek, so shiny and new. Almost pretty. I smiled widely. "Did Fang get anything?"

"Yeah, an iPhone also," she handed me another box.

"Nice." I thanked my mom, and then went up to Fang's room.

"Hey, Fang!" I said happily, hiding the box behind my back.

"Yes?" he asked as I plopped down onto his bed, where he sat on his laptop, updating his blog.

"Move the laptop. I have something for you," I said flatly.

"Yes honey, what is it?" he kissed my forehead and moved the computer.

I moved my hand, and showed him the box. "Look what my mom got us."

He opened the box. "An iPhone? Cool."

"Here's my number," I said, showing him the paper with my phone number. Am I gonna say it out loud? Pssh. You'd be my number one stalker. And you OVER-OBSESSED FANGIRLS, you are definitely not getting Fang's number.

He's mine.

"So, can we like, search for apps?" He asked, unusually eager for Fang.

"Yeah. She also gave us our own accounts and 50 bucks to spend on music. Apps, well 20 bucks." I laughed.

"Good. We probably will need that all," he smiled wider.

3 days later

"Eye of the tiger…thrill of the fight…" Iggy sang from the kitchen.

"Why do you have…things so complicated…" Nudge chorused from her room.

"Oh! Bring it back to the…still your number one," Fang mumbled as he walked by my room.

"…Right at the borderline…for you," Angel skipped around the house.

"Where were you, when everything…all my days…" Gazzy whispered, turning the pages in a book.

"I'm a mess in a dress," I sang.

Five minutes later

"Would suck, with out you!" I laughed as I finished singing my song.

Fang walked in. "Hold on to that feelin…"

I unplugged my iPod. "These iPods are mind-controlling."

He laughed. "Yeah. Let's go see what Iggy is singing, I heard from Angel it's hysterical."

*~*~*~*~*

We snuck downstairs, then peeked through the opening of the kitchen. Iggy had one hand on his hip, one in the air, "All the single ladies, all the- Hey!"

Angel had tackled him. "Ha-ha, you're a single lady!"

Gazzy laughed loudly. "HA!"

Me and Fang exchanged a look, then laughed.
