When I did this chapter, I tried to do a little of baby Max/Fang and adult Max/Fang to try to give it a good ending. And surprisingly, I think I've succeeded.

Last chapter I also said that Fang was OC. I meant OOC, so my apologies if I confused anyone. I didn't bother to change it, because I'm sure everyone knows what I meant. Thanks to Sierra156 for pointing it out to me.

And we're almost to 100 reviews! Keep the reviews coming so we can reach 100!

Disclaimer: I own the plot to this, but not the characters.

Their First Story:

"Which story do you all want to hear tonight?" Jeb asked the flock as they all piled into Max's room, the girls lounging on the bed and the boys in various positions on the floor.

"Can we hear a new one?" A five-year old Angel asked sweetly, propping her head on her hands. There were sounds of agreement from around the room.

Jeb settled in his chair and nodded. "What do you want it to be about?"

"Monsters!" Gazzy called out.

"A princess!" Nudge added.

"It needs to have a lot of people and animals!" Angel commented, clutching her stuffed dog.

"And explosives." Iggy piped in.

"Sounds like quite a story," Jeb said. "How about this? We all take turns adding bits and pieces and we'll all create the story ourselves. Sound like fun?"

There were various sounds of approval and Jeb started the story, "Once upon a time, in a place very far away, there lived a princess named –"

"Angel!" Angel interrupted, making everyone smile.

"Yes, there lived a princess named Angel, who was the most beautiful princess in all the land. But she was extremely sad because…" Jeb let his voice trail off and pointed at Angel. "Angel, you do the next part."

"She was very sad because she didn't have a lot of friends except her favorite teddy bear named Richie. Richie was very smart and the princess loved him lots. And nobody else knew, but when the princess was all alone, Richie would come alive and talk to her because he wanted her to have a friend."

Jeb stopped her and gestured for Gazzy to continue.

"But they didn't know that something bad was about to happen!" Gazzy said, excited. "There was a cave and inside it was this huge ugly monster that wanted to kidnap Richie from the princess so she wouldn't have any friends. He was huge and scary and green and had these really big teeth." Gazzy put his fingers to his mouth and wiggled them, acting like he had huge fanged teeth.

"Nudge, you next," Jeb interrupted.

"The monster only wanted to kidnap Richie because he didn't have any friends and was jealous of the princess," she told everyone. "But since the princess didn't know about the monster she didn't care because she didn't think anything would take Richie away from her. One night when they were about to go to sleep, the princess told Richie that she was scared something would happen to him, and that she had a bad feeling that something was wrong. Richie didn't believe her and said she was worrying for no reason."

"Iggy, your turn."

"But little did Richie and the princess know, the monster was heading toward their castle at that very second. He waited until the guards had fallen asleep and snuck by them, straight through the castle and to the princess' room. The door was locked, so the monster quietly picked the lock and swung the door open, careful not to wake up Richie and Princess Angel," he said. "Then he picked up Richie and headed out of the castle back to his cave."

"Fang, you next."

"Pass."

Max rolled her eyes and everyone laughed. "Just make up something," Max told him.

Fang sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Um, when the princess woke up the next day and saw that Richie was gone, she didn't know what to do. She looked all over the castle and couldn't find him. She asked everyone she saw, but no one else had seen him."

"Max, your turn."

"At the cave, the monster was feeling really guilty about stealing Richie. So he took Richie back to the castle and gave him back to the princess and explained why he took him. He told her that he was upset that she had a friend and he didn't. He wanted a friend like she had, because she was beautiful and loved by everyone in the land, and he was just an ugly monster who everyone was scared of. She forgave the monster…"

"… And then the princess and Richie lived happily ever after along with their new friend the monster. The end."

Maximum Ride's two children glanced at each other and her small daughter said, "That was a really weird story, mommy."

Max rolled her eyes at her twins and smiled at them.

"Where did you come up with that story, momma?" Her son asked, clutching his stuffed dog.

"Uncles Iggy and Gazzy, Aunties Nudge and Angel, Daddy, and I came up with it when we were kids. We wanted a new story and Grandpa Jeb had this idea that we should come up with one on our own."

"Can we come up with our own story too?" Her daughter asked excitedly, bouncing in her spot.

Max laughed and stood. "Maybe tomorrow, sweetheart."

She kissed her daughter on the head as she pouted, and did the same to her son. "Goodnight momma!"

"Goodnight you two. Get some sleep."

"We will, we promise."

"Love you, mommy!"

"Love you too, sweetie." She closed the door to their bedroom, knowing they wouldn't be going to sleep for a while. She smiled to herself, thinking about her twins talking into the late hours of the night about their own story they could make.

She opened the door to her own bedroom and her husband looked up at her from the magazine he was reading. "What was the story tonight?" he asked.

"Richie and the Monster."

His eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "That story we came up with when we were thirteen?"

"Yeah. They wanted a new story, so I figured, why not?" She climbed into bed next to him.

"And what did they think of it?"

"They said it was really weird. Personally, I was kind of insulted. I thought that story was pretty awesome considering a bunch of non-educated kids came up with it."

Fang laughed and kissed the top of her head. "They're only five, Max."

"That's no excuse." She said as he reached over to turn the bedside table lap off and threw his magazine on the floor.

"You would think something like that."

"Can you blame me?" She asked, curling up next to him.

"Not really, no."

They were both quiet, until Fang thought that Max was asleep. He shifted a bit though, when she spoke. "I think we did good."

"With the story?"

"No. With them. With our kids. When we were fourteen, would you have ever thought that one day things would be like this?"

"Not in a million years. If someone would have asked me that a long time ago, I would have said they were crazy."

"Me too," she said. He felt her warm breath on his bare chest and he wrapped his arms around her, holding her close.

"I never thought I'd be this happy." She said, breathing slowly.

"Me either, Max. Me either." He said, and both of them fell into a deep sleep, dreaming about what the next day would bring.

As I was writing this, I kept telling myself, 'all good things must come to an end, all good things must come to an end.' I hate that this story is over, but it's one of my best and was fun writing it.

I hope you enjoyed reading this story as much as I enjoyed writing it! Review one last time and tell me what your favorite chapter was!
