If you are confused, this is eight years after the third book: Saving the World and other Extreme Sports. It is from Angel's P.O.V. and now she is 14, Gazzy is 16, Nudge is 19, Iggy is 22, Fang is 22 & ½, and Max is 23. Since Total's DNA has been combined with homo-Saipan and avian he has the same life span as a human, now he is about 200 years old in dog years (18). They have taken Itex down, and now they are on the search for Angel, Gazzy, Nudge, Fang, and Total's parents and Jeb… Also looking for more "Schools." They haven't been attacked by Erasers or Flyboys for five years. They now live at Dr. Martinez's house as they have for three years. Hope you like my story! I would also like to add, Italics are mind-speaks which you will find out about in a minute.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

I am lying on my bed practicing my telepathic powers, if you are looking for me. Seriously, I just found out that I can hear people's thoughts from a mile away, and can mind-speak with them from three quarters of a mile away. I can also move thing with my mind, but, that takes more energy than flying, but I'm still practicing. I heard a gentle knock on my door, then Mom walked in, her name is Dr. Martinez, and, she is Max and Ella's mom, but, by now we all call her Mom. I tried reading her mind, but it was just a jumble of veterinary medicine, so I decided to talk out loud.

"Hey Mom. How was work?"

"Do you need to ask?"

"You have to be consciously thinking about it for me to 'read' it"

"It went okay, but I had to put a dog down." He looked like Total, She added in thought. I sniffled a bit, then Total came half running, half flying

"Dinner's ready, ready, ready. Come on, so that I -we can eat." He said. "I swear, that kid's cooking improved, if that is possible, with his new sight." Oh, yeah, Iggy can see now. Mom fixed an inflammation in his brain 'cause he got a really, really, really bad concision, and Mom fixed that up and then his sight magically came back. Viola, and she didn't even mean to do that, his luck, but not Max's… 'Sexist pig' as she would say.

"I am not watching another foreign movie with subtitles!" I heard Gazzy yell from the kitchen.

"But, I can finally see these without someone reading the sub titles!" Ig said

"I want to watch something in English so that I can look away from the screen for two seconds without missing the whole story." Gazzy replied.

"You both, SHUT UP!" Max and Ella cried in unison.

"Fine" and a couple of cusses under Gazzy's breathe. 16 year olds. Tsk tsk tsk.

"Hey" I said casually as walking in. "When's the date set for" I aimed at Ella, just as much as at Iggy.

"Date for what?!?" practically screamed at Iggy, Ella, and I. Ella and Ig's cheeks turned into rose colors.

"Our wedding"whispered Ella

"Did I just hear 'our wedding'?!?" said Max

"Yep" said Iggy, walking over to Ella.

"……." Was Max's response.

"We were going to break the news after dinner, but…" Thanks Angel said and thought Iggy.

"Are you being sarcastic?" I said.

"No, I'm genuinely thankful that you saved us some embarrassment" a line that would have made any mother proud, especially coming from Iggy. Ah, grammar…

"So, date?"

"Not set yet, but Ella wants it to be in August, after she gets her master's degree. And thanks for asking out loud instead of dinking around in my head."

"So, about seven months from now?" I said. We were all home from Collage for Christmas, or, at least Fang, Iggy, Max, Nudge and Ella. You should have seen the tears in September. Scratch that. You don't want to see that. EVER, in a million years. Or, the September before, when it was just Fang, Iggy, Max and Ella, or the year before, when it was the first year before flock members left. Thankfully they are all going to ITT, which is nearby, (one hour flight, two hour drive)

"It will be next to my birthday." Said Max "my brother and my sister are getting married…" giggles in the back ground "Let me rephrase that. My real sister and my adopted brother are getting married!"

"Let's eat." Complained Total, running in from the dinning room.
