Take 2 on the sequel. Needed to take a break. This is a story I intend to keep.

MAX'S POV:

We fly home and eat some leftovers from the fridge. And then we sit and compare how our day was before we ended up in a lab,.

Fang describes his "bachelor party," and I talk about the spa. We both decide the day went pretty well and go to sleep in the newly declared "our room."

Yes, "our room." Apparently we have to share now. Which I'm not totally happy about. Hence, I will be getting up before dawn to shower and change.

As I lie in Fang's arms, my mind starts going all over the place. I go from my agenda for tomorrow to shopping through a gazillion other things, and finally doze off to thinking about some movie that's coming out. "City of Bones" or something.

I wake up before dawn as planned(no, I didn't set my alarm clock. I have an internal alarm) and get in the shower. Turning on the water, I wait the required 5 minutes for the water to heat up. Hey, living in the middle of nowhere really takes it out of you.

After just sitting and letting the water run over me for a while, to my horror I hear the door open. We have one of those bathrooms where the shower is behind a door in the back, and the door's closed, so I put on this stupid fluffy bathrobe Nudge gave me, grab a box, and open the door to slap whoever's there...

And hit Fang so hard that he falls down. Great. Now I have to sit him up so he'll regain consciousness faster. Serves him right for sneaking up on me.

I take this opportunity to towel off my hair and grab my clothes off the counter to run back into the tiny room and change. Just as I walk back out, Fang is slowly standing up.

"What was that for?"

"I told you to not do that anymore!"

"Do what? Breath?" He smirks as we remember that time last year when our lives were turned upside-down. The first event that lead to the beach. Which lead us to Sam and Lissa. Which led to the cave. Which led through many other things to where we are now.

After hitting him softly on the head, I walk out so I can eat breakfast. Iggy is frying bacon. And teaching Ella how. And other stuff.

For the 10th time in the past 2 days, I cough. They turn, and Ella starts stuttering. "Oh! Hi Max! How long have you been here? We were just..."

I hold up my hand. "Ella. It's okay. Iggy, finish the bacon, and then you two lovebirds can go into the living room for 15 minutes. But that's it. Fang and I are the married couple here, not you."

She sighs, calls in Cece, who finishes the bacon with some flames, and then Ella and Iggy head off to the living room.

Cece sighs. "I came into the room that Ella and I are sharing last night and had to kind of set Iggy on fire a little. I was about to barf. That will never happen to me."

I give her an "Oh, really" look, which she frowns at. In runs Gazzy with a bomb. A stink-bomb. After a quick look, he chucks it out the window seconds before it explodes.

"But Max, I was gonna throw it in on Iggy and Ella. Until I saw them climbing out the window giggling like that stupid couple in some movie Nudge made us suffer through. It really makes me..."

"Wait," I stop him. "They've had this going on for what, a month? And they're already running off into the woods together. Wow."

Fang comes in, and reports that he saw the lovely couple heading off toward the waterfall. And that something that reeked woke up Nudge.

We laugh, and sit down to eat the food.

After breakfast, we headed out to find the future Mr. and Mrs. Iggy Ride. It had been an hour.

We came across them bleeding to death on the beach.

Take 2 okay? I think this may be more in character. I spent the whole afternoon yesterday reading some Eggy fics.

Review, so I can continue.
