Ch1. To Europe

Right after that cute teary reunion, the flock ( and by flock I mean me) decided that we should fly back to Europe, but this time, just for a big head-turner, we were going for this uber-crazy thing called vacation.

So we had a certain six-year old with mind reading skills convince the air port attendants that we already paid, that we actually had ticketsand that Total was Iggy's seeing eye dog. Cuz I like to teach the flock good morals and yadda yadda. Anyways, we were on the plane, me on the aisle, Fang right across the aisle from me, Nudge and Angel sitting in window seats. Iggy and Total were next to Fang and the Gasman was next to me.

Then, miraculously, nothing happened. It really was like we had totally destroyed Itex. But, I knew better, I knew they weren't going to be destroyed that easily. I also knew how much the younger kids needed a home, how much I needed a home.

I stole a glance at Fang and saw that he was staring intently at the flight attendant. As she walked passed, his head turned, but once he saw me he gave me one of his trademarked and rare Fang smiles. I gave shot him a No! look and he didn't look at a flight attendant again.

Max why can't you just admit you're feelings for Fang? You know, he's crazy about you.

Thank you, Jeb, but I'd really prefer it if you just kept your nose out of this one eensy weensy problem, okay? I'd rather deal with Fang by myself.

Okay, sweetie, and not to rush you, but you didn't destroy Itex completely, there is still another major headquarters. It needs to be taken care of, and soon.

Okay, Jeb, I'll put it on my to-do list.
