A/N: Alright, I don't know if this has been done before, so I thought I'd try.
Disclaimer: Question: Does JP go on fanction to write stories for his own stories? No, no he doesn't. Because then they would be published. Therefore, this proves that I am not him. I do not own the characters, unless I decide to create a few, which I haven't yet. I do however, own this plot.
Note: Alright, this takes place in MR after the third book, and in TUO (The Underland Chronicles) After the fiftn. Gregor is thirteen, along with Luxa. Max, Fang, and Iggy, are fourteen as always.
Thank you! Enjoy the story!
After leaving Dr. Martinez, the flock decided to go back to New York. It took about 2 and a half days, but we got there. Too bad we couldn't stop Nudge's incessant babbling and a few of Gazzy's "gifts". Not to mention Total's endless stream of complaints.
Finally, we landed in Central Park, exhausted. Thankfully, It was midnight, and the place was deserted.
"Maaaxxxx…." Nudge whined. "Can we get something to eat? I'm starving…"
"Nudge, you're always starving." Iggy put in. She stuck her tongue out at him.
"Okay guys, stop it. Nudge, it's midnight, I doubt anything's open." I said.
"McDonalds." Darn him and his one word responses.
"Going there will raise too much suspicion." I answered.
"Can we say, paranoid?" Gazzy mumbled. I shot him the bird. Fang chuckled.
"C'mon Nudge." Angel said. "Fang has an endless supply of granola bars in his pack."
That's when everyone dove for Fang's backpack. It was all-out war until I had to stop it, being the kind, sensible person that I am.
"Okay guys!" I shouted. "Only three each!"
"I'm still hungry." Nudge mumbled.
"My point is proven." Iggy said triumphantly.
"Time for bed guys." I said forcefully. "I have first watch, no arguments." We stacked and tapped, then everyone but Fang went to a nearby tree and fell asleep. We sat in peaceful silence until a low clicking noise could be heard, coming from the street.
"What is that?" I whispered. He shrugged.
"Let's go check." Fang said, his voice devoid of emotion, as always.
The sound led us to a sewer cap which was slightly ajar. I just had to open it. Stupid human nature, I knew I would regret it later.
"Can you help me get it off?" I asked, placing my hands under the lid. He said nothing, but placed his hands underneath it too. It lifted off, and the clicking got louder.
"I'm too curious not to go in. What about you?" I asked.
"Yeah." He stepped in, I went in after. We went down a flight of stairs and ended up in complete darkness. The clicking was louder than ever.
"I wonder where that's coming from?"
Suddenly, a light flicked on. About twenty giant cockroaches stood right in front of us.
Oh, crap.
How's that for a cliffhanger? I'll update as soon as I can, but I have school tomorrow, so I don't know if that will work... Anywho, review if you want, it makes me feel loved.
