The fourth of July

Got this cool Fax idea while watching Fireworks (of course, duh!)

I don't own Maximum Ride or the characters!

Max and the rest of her flock were flying over New York, it was already dark out so they decided to call it a night. They landed near a hotel when got inside and asked for a few rooms, the lady at the desk handed them three room keys and wished them a happy fourth of July. Max didn't know what that meant so instead she led the others to the elevator and up to their rooms, the gang of six broke into their usual buddy parings Nudge and Angel in one room, Iggy and Gazzy in the other, leaving Max and Fang with the last room.

Max's P.O.V

So Fang and I went into our hotel room and got ready to go to sleep, it had been a long day and I was tired. I was sprawled out over the bed while Fang was watching TV, I had my eyes closed with my arm over them drifting off into unconsciousness.

"Max, come take a look at this." Fang called to me.

"Hhm, what is it?" I asked walking over.

"Sorry did I wake you up?" he answered looking over at me.

"No, so what's 'this' supposed to be?" I replied.

He turned back to the TV and turned the volume up so that I could hear it, on the screen it said 'tonight in town square is bound to be the most explosive night of them all'. I turned to Fang thinking this was another attempt to blow the world up; he gave me the same look. "You get Ig and Gazzy, I'll get Nudge and Angel." I told him. he nodded and made his way to the guy's room, I went into the girl's room and told them to meet down in the lobby in three and that it was urgent. We all meet up and left the hotel, we all launched ourselves into the sky once we didn't see any people around. I noticed that town square was only two miles away from the hotel, Fang, the others, and I landed then tried to blend in with the crowed. We waited and waited but, nothing seemed out of the ordinary till I heard the sound of what sounded like a huge gun. I looked up into the sky and saw a huge ball of sparks fall, what was wrong with these people why weren't they running? I shrieked when another one sounded catching me off guard, before I could jump into the air and kick whatever's ass it was I felt a hand being placed on my shoulder.

"So that's what they meant by 'explosive.'" He chuckled.

"What are you talking about Fang?" I demanded.

"Those things in the sky are fireworks, they won't hurt anyone. They're little flashes and sparks of light that disappear before they even leave the air, so don't worry about it." He answered.

"How do you know that?" I asked curiously.

"On my blog, someone emailed me a vid of fireworks." He replied.

"They're really pretty." I said looking up at balls of exploding light.

"Not as pretty as you." Fang replied.

He turned me towards him and locked his lips against mine, I didn't know If the others had noticed us yet or not but frankly, I didn't care. Fang and I held the kiss until we broke apart in need of air, when we got our rapid breathing cut down to normal we continued to watch the fireworks. Both Fang and I walked over to a nearby bench; I sat next to him then felt him pull me towards him. I looked up into his handsome face then I snuggled against his muscular chest, Fang put his arm around me holding me tighter. He kissed me again as another firework launched; he gazed into my eyes as I watched as the light lit up half his face.

"I love you Max." he whispered in my ear.

"I love you to Fang." I replied snuggling closer to him.

He gave me one of his rare smiles then kissed my forehead, he pulled back and rested his head against mine as we watched the fireworks ignite the dark sky above.
