Chapter One

"Oh my…"

I was staring up at the largest, most expensive looking hotel I had ever seen in my entire twisted up life. And how, you ask, did we get here? Well, don't ask me, because I. DON'T. KNOW. The last thing I remember is that the Flock and I were camping out in a cave near the beach where Angel, Nudge and I had met up with the boys about a month after the whole saving the world thing…

Flashback- I was sitting on the ledge near the cave opening, trying to figure out our next move. Gazzy and Iggy were talking quietly inside (my guess making plans for some more bombs, oh joy.). Fang was being, well, Fang and had himself propped up against the back wall of the cave looking like an emotionless stone. Nudge was with little Angel…wait. Where were Nudge and Angel?! I sat up straight, listening…

"Hi Max!" Two happy voices chimed from behind me. Whew. I tilted my head back, only to see Nudge and Angel staring down at me with THE biggest bambi-eyes I had ever seen… Oh great, what now?

"What's up?" I asked, while trying extremely hard not to look either of them in the eye. I had a strong feeling that if I did, I'd regret it.

"Can we go to that GINORMUS hotel we saw while flying around a few days ago?? You know, the one that was soooo tall that Iggy almost ran into it, and then Fang saved him just in time, and then we went out to eat? OH and speaking of eating, I'm starving! Can we go eat, maybe at-" I swear Nudge could talk anyone to death.

"Nudge!" I practically yelled. She stopped rambling and looked at me apologetically.

"Sorry." She mumbled. I smiled and playfully tugged a loose strand of her hair, and winked, bringing her smile back.

I had gathered enough from what Nudge had said to know what she was talking about. But a hotel? I hadn't really thought about us staying at a hotel, but it would probably be safer now than before...

"I guess we could stay at a hotel, but it should be a small one. Nothing big and expensive." It would look too suspicious for six raggedy kids and a dog to walk into some fancy shmancy hotel, especially with no parents.

"Aww but..!" Whined Angel.

"No buts!" I said sternly. Ha! How's that for parenting?

Angel and Nudge both walked away pouting. Man that was easy. I got up, stretched, and headed into the cave. Now that I had our next move, it meant it was time to pack up our stuff and try to find a…

Just then, I heard some hushed whispering from behind me, followed by a bunch of giggles. Everything started to go fuzzy, and darkness consumed me. - End flashback

And now here I am. Great.

"Well, now that we're here, we might as well go in!" Said Angel, looking extremely exited. Of course! Angel was the one that did it! She probably used those mind powers of hers to knock me out and control my movements!! Wow, that was new; I didn't know that she could do that. That could come in handy… But nevertheless she was in BIG trouble.

I glanced over my shoulder at Fang. He was just standing there, hands in his pockets, looking all cool and calm. He caught my gaze and gave me a look as if saying, 'why not?'I heaved a lengthy sigh, and nodded my head, giving the 'ok' that we could stay. Angel and Nudge hopped up and down in a quick happy dance, and headed into the building, along with Total trotting complacently beside them. Iggy and Gazzy followed behind them, looking somewhat exited, but not nearly as much as Angel and Nudge. Fang loped in after I was able to drag my reluctant feet through the polished door.

About 10 minutes later, the wary secretary at the desk had given us three big bedrooms; and guess who I ended up with? Yeah, you guessed it, Fang.

Only Iggy was willing to share a room with Gazzy(I'm STILL wondering if along with blindness, Iggy somehow lacks a sense of smell), and Angel was used to sleeping with Nudge. Henceforth- room number three became ours.

After we had both settled in, and by that I mean chunked our backpacks onto the bed, we took showers; nice, hot, relaxing showers. Oh, man did it feel good to be clean. It was time for bed, which I was kinda nervous about. But it was Fang, so why should I be nervous? I mean, we'd had to share a blanket more than once whenever we camped out in a forest or cave... I was making to big a deal about it.

Ok…here we go.

Fang was already in bed when I got out of the bathroom. He'd kept the light on so I could see, and once I slipped under the covers of the big, king-sized bed, he switched off the light on the night table, and everything went dark. See, not so bad.

I turned over on my side, yawned, and slowly let sleep overtake me.

'THUMP!' My eyes snapped open. What was that noise? Oww, my head felt like it had been slammed against a wall. Pretty close. I sat up rubbing my throbbing forehead.

What the?? I was doing a face plant on the floor with half the bed sheets tangled around my waist. Oh, I guess I fell out of the bed…whoops.

I stood up, about to climb back into bed, and that's when I spotted Fang. He was spread out across the whole bed, his mouth hanging wide open. So I didn't fall off! I was pushed off! Great. But on the bright side, now I had something to use against him. Man, I was never gonna let him live this one down!

I shoved him over to the other side of the bed as gently as I could, while quietly laughing at the sight. Yeah, well I thought it was all so funny until about five minutes later, when he started snoring. I bet your thinking, 'snoring, that's not so bad.' Well normally no, but in his case, let's just say that I'd be very surprised if the sound of it wasn't causing an earthquake in china right now!

I tried everything to block out the noise; putting a pillow over my head, taking some cotton balls from the bathroom and stuffing them in my ears, but nothing was blocking him out!

After about an hour of this, when I had finally given up, out of nowhere the snores stopped and there was complete silence. OH, THANK YOU GOD! I rolled over onto my back and sighed in relief and closed my eyes. Silence. Pure heaven.

Now, you'd think my torture was over, but nooooo, he had to start talking in his sleep! I bet you've also been wondering why I haven't just woken him up right? Well there's a simple answer to that. He'd kill me. Fang does NOT like it when anyone wakes him up if it's not an emergency or if he's not on watch. Ugh. Men.

"Max, no…" I heard from the other side of the bed. Oooooh, was he dreaming about me?

I propped myself up on my elbows and listened closely.

"Max, we can't…" He mumbled. Whoa wait, what can't we do!?

He shifted over on his side. "Not while the kids are around… No wait, that's nice, keep going…"

UGH! MEN! They're sexist pigs, every one of them!!!

I scooted away from him as far as I could manage without falling off the bed, and shut my eyes, all the while desperately trying to block out the thoughts of what Fang could POSSIBLY be dreaming about.

Soon his murmuring began fading and eventually stopped, but I knew it wasn't over, not even by a long shot. And of course, I was right.

I almost jumped out of my skin as I felt a strong arm wrap securely around my waist and pull me right up against a warm body. Oh my-

He was hugging me so close I could feel him breathing in and out peacefully against my back. Whoa, was that a six pack? Man, has this guy got some muscles on him! Oh well. At least now I could go to sleep and hopefully stay that way.

But wow…this felt good, almost natural, Fang hugging me that is. Maybe I could—NO BAD MAX! Can't think about Fang like that, he's my best friend, and he's like my brother… isn't he?

A sudden push from behind jolted me out of my confusing thoughts. Wait, he was trying to unconsciously push me off again! Well not this time bud! I quickly flipped around to face Fang, who was apparently having some sort or nightmare by the looks of it. I kind of felt bad for him for about a split second, that is until he started kicking and thrashing at me. I planted both my feet on his stomach as he grabbed my ankles, and in unison, we both pushed each other, sending both of us flying onto the floor, on either sides of the bed.

'OOF!' I landed flat on my back. Ouch. Slowly, I righted myself enough to check what had happened to Fang on the opposite side of the room. I was sure I'd heard him land pretty hard on the floor. But I didn't have to look too far, considering he was lying flat out on his stomach over the bed. How did he-?! You know what? I didn't freaking care, ANYMORE!

I slumped back down onto the floor. The floor is my friend. I like the floor. I'm going to stay ON THE FLOOR.

Grabbing what blankets and pillows I managed to get out from under 'The Hulk', I spread out on the ground next to the bed.

"SCHNOOOORRRRRRR!!!!!!!!"

I sighed as I placed the pillow firmly over my head. This was going to be a long night.

-8 Hours later-

I didn't sleep a wink all night long after that, and I was still wide awake when the sun came up and started shining in through the window. I was also STILL awake when somebody (cough Fang cough) decided to wake up from their beauty sleep.

"Max?" I heard from above me.

"Who else would it be??" I asked crankily. But who wouldn't be cranky after the night I'd had?

"You look horrible; you look like you didn't sleep at all." He examined.

"Gee thanks…" My left eye started to twitch.

Fangs eyebrows furrowed as he cocked his head slightly to the side. I could tell what he was thinking. It was something like, 'She's finally lost her marbles'( and I won't deny it, the marbles are on vacation in Cuba and won't be coming back till i get a 12 hour nap …).

Fang opened his mouth getting ready to say something, but quickly thought better of it and closed it.

He looked worried. Aw man, I couldn't tell him what happened. First off, he probably wouldn't believe me, and second, if he did believe me, it'd embarrass him to high heaven. The least I could do was not mention it. After all, he was worried. I think...

"Nightmare?" He asked.

Ha! I wish.

"Uh huh." Was all i said. I didn't have either the strength or the energy to argue.

He nodded in understanding and slid off the bed, heading for the bathroom before I claimed , I knew one thing… Next time, Iggy was sharing a room with Fang- I'd take Gazzy any day.

The End (for now...) MWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
