Ok guys. I don't have a lot of time. I was flying around with Nudge cause she's awesome.

Nudge: Damn straight I am. Nobody ever gives me credit. It's about Fang and Iggy, Fang and Iggy, Fang and Iggy. What about the rest of the Flock? Do we not exist anymore? I know I do, and I know they do. I also know that they feel left out. Even Ella. Speaking of which, I remember one time-

Me:NUGDE! KEEP IT DOWN OR THEY'LL-

Eraser 1: I've found the subject!

Me: CRAP!

Eraser 2: Subjects DT387530, and MO340281, return with us immediately, or we'll be forced to take extreme measures!

Me: Screw you! (Throws Flash bombs at them) Cover your eyes Nudge!

(Both cover eyes)

Erasers: ARGH!!!!

Me: Fly!

(Both pull out wings and start flying away)

Me: (Sighs) that was close. Next time we try to sneak into the school to get the records on you guys, DO NOT hit the Eraser with his spoon when we pass the cafeteria!

Nudge: But it was funny….

Me: So being chased by Erasers is your idea of fun!?

Nudge: (Sniffles) Wah! You're mean! (Flies in a different direction)

Me: Crap. Now I gotta apologize to her. But I also have to tell you why you're here. I came up with a new story I like to call "School Troubles". Here's the summary: Dr. M enrolled the Flock into school with Ella, and all's well…except for the fact they're all failing and getting serious trouble…all the time. Now they have to deal with dates, homework, pranks and report cards. So join them for all the fun-

NOW!

"Oh man, you are so dead when we get home. Mom is gonna murder you." Nudge teased Iggy and Gazzy. Oh yea, I'm Max. You should already know the Flock: Fang, Iggy, Gazzy, Nudge, and Angel. We all moved in with my Mom and half-sister Ella about 6 months ago. Then, Mom decided to enroll us in school. So far, so boring.

Back to what Nudge was saying, Iggy and Gazzy set off another stink bomb this week. It was the 4th time this week cause they were getting cocky. Well I guess they weren't so cocky cause they got seriously busted this time. And of course, me being the oldest, I got called down to the office, and was yelled at for how "such tom foolery and nonsense will not be tolerated." I told him I was sorry, but what I was really thinking was why the hell am I getting yelled at for what these two did?

"You guys better hope that she does." I said turning around to look at them. "Cause if she doesn't I will!" I said, punching my fist into my hand.

Fang walked next to me and smiled at my threat. Angel and Nudge were giggling, and Ella was holding Iggy's hand, trying to reassure him. Oh, did I forget to mention that they've been going out for about a month now? Fang and I have been going out for 6 months.

"I can't believe we got caught." Gazzy said, looking at the ground as he walked. "Where did it all go wrong?"

"I don't know. We had everything planned out perfectly." Iggy said, shaking his head.

"Maybe it was when you set off the 4th bomb this week and the principal found you in the janitors closet laughing your butts off." I said like it was obvious. Which it was.

"I told you we should have hid in the boys bathroom. There were more people in there so it would have been less obvious." Iggy said turning in Gazzy's direction.

"But then we wouldn't have seen the girls run from the locker room when it went off." He said.

"True, but here's the thing: I can't see at all!"

"Yea, but you could hear the screams that came from them, correct?"

"Yea. And they did sound disgusted." Both started laughing hysterically

"Yea laugh it up guys. We're home, so you only have a couple of hours before Mom gets home and kicks your butts." I said with an evil smile as I watched the smiles fall from their faces and them grow slightly paler.

"Max, you're not really gonna tell Mom, are you?" Gazzy asked. Actually, more like pleaded.

"Yea. Please don't tell." Iggy begged. "We'll do anything."

And that's when an evil thought came to my head. "Huddle!" Next thing I know, Angel, Fang, Nudge, Ella, and I are huddled into a circle. "Guys, we could totally use this to our advantage."

"What did you have in mind?" Ella asked.

"Oh Max! That's a great idea!" Angel said, agreeing with me. "I think that'll work out perfectly for us."

"Thanks Angel. And I'll let this one slide." I said, mentioning the mind reading thing.

"What are you two talking about? I wanna know. I bet it's good. Is it good? I-"

"Nudge!" Fang said, shutting her up.

"Thank you Fang." I said. "Back to what I was saying. We could totally blackmail them into doing our choirs and being our personal servents."

"That's great!" Nudge commented.

"I'm in." Fang said.

"Me too!" Angel agreed again.

"I don't know Max." Ella said, skeptically. "I don't think that it's right for us to do that to them."

"Ella, if you do this, you can have Iggy do anything for you as your personal slave."

Her face brightened up, and she cracked a huge smile. "I'm in!"

"It's settled then." I said as we broke apart.

"What's settled?" Gazzy asked.

"We have to do all their choirs and be their personal slaves." Iggy informed him.

"What!? Why?"

"Cause they're black mailing us."

"That's right. Now, I believe you guys have some chores to do." I said, opening the door to the house. Both groaned as stomped into the house.

"This is gonna be sweet." I said to the others, who were all smiling back. Even Fang.

By the time Mom got home, they had finished all our chores, and theirs, and now we were just ordering them around. "Yo Iggy, I need another soda." Fang called from next to me on the couch.

"Yes sir." He said through clinched teeth. He came out of the kitchen and handed Fang an ice cold soda. "Anything else!?" he said angrily.

"Nope." Fang said, returning to the TV.

Iggy walked back into the kitchen and continued dinner. "Hey, where's the Gasman?" I asked.

"He's having a tea party with my stuffed animals and recording it so me and Nudge can put it on youtube." Angel said deviously.

"You two are so bad." I said as Mom walked in. "Hey Mom." I said.

"Hey guys. How was school today?" she asked, taking a seat in the recliner.

"Fine." I said nonchalantly.

"Oh really?" she asked, eyeing me suspiciously. "Iggy, Gazzy?" she called.

"Yes?" Iggy asked as he walked in.

"Yea?" Gazzy asked, walking into the room with a green dress and make-up on. Wow. Angel really did a number on him. We were all holding back our laughter for when Mom was done talking.

"I got a call at work from the school. You two have been causing quiet some trouble with those stink bombs." Crap. Didn't count on that. "You guys are grounded. 2 weeks. No bombs, no tv, no video games. We clear?"

"Yes ma'am." They said simultaneously.

"Good. Now let's have dinner." She said heading toward the kitchen.

"I guess that means we don't have to worry about them blackmailing us anymore, huh Ig?" Gazzy said, whipping the make-up from his face.

"What was that?" Mom asked, turning to look at all of us.

"Everyone was blackmailing us into being their servants and doing their chores." Gazzy explained.

"Really? Well you won't have to worry about that anymore since you're all grounded for the next two weeks."

"Thanks a lot you stool pigeon." Nudge said.

"Great. Now we're all screwed." I said groaning in my head.

And this is just the beginning. I promise it'll get better. Tell me what you think. And also, let me know if you see Nudge. I really need to find her. Nudge! Nudge!
