Maximum Ride The Story After Forever

Chapter 1: The Good Old Times

A/N: Hey Guys!! This is my FIRST fanfic so it might not be as great as the pros but I hope you enjoy!!! Ooh! By the way, disclaimer: Since I don't even look like James Patterson or am him, I OBVIOUSLY DON'T OWN MAXIMUM RIDE. Duh. All rights go to James Patterson. Got that? Read on, Readers! (Oooh ooh ooh! Watch the video above! It's one of the videos created by Pietra Forde. It's set in Maximum Ride School's Out Forever.)

Max's POV.

(A/N: PS: This takes after Forever if you didn't read the description.)

The few months after Phoenix learned how to fly was quite peaceful, actually. Well, compared to the rest of my life. Iggy and Gazzy continued to play pranks, create bombs and Gazzy still held the title of the Gasman, maybe even stinkier. Nudge still raved about fashion, Angel created a deck of cards with a pen and leaves and played poker. Total talked to anyone who bothered to listen, and Fang and me took care of Phoenix. Of course, few months ago, if a day was peaceful, I would totally freak out, like I said before. But now, I'm glad. Although I've managed to accept a peaceful day, didn't mean I'd let my guard down and gotten soft. Well.... at least not that soft. Most of the time. Phoenix makes me melt like butter when she wants to.

Please don't tell Iggy I said that, he would totally try to turn it into blackmail. Although he probably already knew that, hearing that I actually admitted it would totally make it worse.

Phoenix must have been learning 'how to be Max's baby girl' lessons from Angel because she knew every way into my heart. Okay, that sounded cheesy, especially for me. ( BTW, I think the sentence before this that I have written sucks. :P) (Another A/N: I am soooo sorry if the characters are OoC because it has been quite a while since I read Maximum Ride. ○~○)

Today was the 5th year anniversary of the day when we were finally free
from worrying for our lives. We managed to have a supply of food, thanks to the seedlings, and apparently there was still some animals that weren't...dead.

We discovered this just about a few weeks ago when we had carried out a outing to search for more food. I finally got a taste of my sweet sweet meat. ( Hey, that rhymed!) Since we didn't want our not-of-plant-origin food to run out so we decided to leave the animals alone for a while. Every year we would celebrate our anniversary with pizza. Yes, you heard me, pizza. Well, an attempt at vegetarian pizza. Cooked by Iggy of course. I would probably burn down the whole kitchen.

But, since it was our 5th anniversary, we decided to do something different.
Flashback:
For some reason, Nudge called for a 'meeting' at our treehouse, the one only for the Flock. At seven in the morning. Phoenix, unfortunately for her, didn't count as a member of the original flock. I yawned as I flew into the treehouse, followed by Fang. "Nudge, what was so important that you had to wake me up earlier than 7 just so you could have this so called 'meeting'?" I asked grumpily, making air quotation marks with my fingers when I said meeting. I was shot back with "OmgIamsoexcitedIjustgotareallyfabulousideaandIcan'twaittotellyouguysallaboutitEeeeeeeee-"(Translation: "Omg I am so excited! I just got a really fabulous idea and I can't wait to tell you guys about it! Eeeeeeeee-")

The only reason she stopped was because I interrupted. "Hold up," I said, holding up my hand, "Can you repeat that? Just more slowly?" "Oh. Sorry," Nudge said sheepishly, " I said I had a fabulous idea and I can't wait to tell you all." "Well tell us then," Iggy said impatiently. "Woah. Slow down your roll, Mr CrankyPants." Fang teased, raising his hands in the air. Iggy only smirked and shot back, "Whatever you say, Fnick."
