So this is a new story by me and my dearest sister Annabelle. She's new to fanfiction and has her own account that I'll mention later when she gets it squared away. It was something we were both really excited about this and I hope you are too. Some details you should know. Iggy is not blind and Jeb doesn't exist. Dylan… we don't know about him yet. This story is full of many surprises.

Coming Home

Max's POV

It's been four years. Four years since anyone has seen our face, four years since our story has went public. Four years of hiding, but not in the way you think. We've been hiding in plain sight. We could be living in your town and be friends with your daughter, and you wouldn't even know.

We didn't abandon people like all those blogs said, we fulfilled our duty. Our duty was to save the world and we did. We just didn't stay and be thanked, we didn't need it. Being able to live is enough payment. It was four years ago that we decided this is what we wanted.

We wanted to be able to go through a normal life, with normal things. To go to school, to go on a date, to just be a typical teenager and that's what we did. Of course we were still nothing but normal, but that didn't matter. We were the best of both worlds and that's how we liked it.

Nudge's POV

Flying is one of the best things to do in my spare time. I fly with my family and it's like nothing in the world can stop us, we're invincible. I spread my beautiful brown wings and soar down to Angel's level.

She is spiraling through the air so fast she looks like a fluffy white blur. "Angel!" I yell at her excitedly. She stops spiraling to look at me. Angel has really changed over the past four years, actually all of us had. Like we were older, of course but we actually looked the part of teenagers and well whatever Fang, Iggy, and Max were. I think they are more like young adults? Or would they still be teens? I don't know they are all 19 so I don't know if that still counts as a teenager.

Me, Nudge I'm 16 and so is Gazzy. Angel is our baby still even though she's 15. Oh, and who could forget about Ella. Ella is 17. We live in a not so shabby two story house with a wraparound porch. It is so chic! I know what you guys are thinking. No parents?

All of us aren't really much for an authoritative figure, we get that snarky trait from Max but there is one person we can stand and that's Dr. Martinez. She is Max's and Ella's real mom, but she's all of our moms too. We love her to death and can't live without her. Right now she's in Brazil helping out the needy with the CSM. Leaving, you guessed it. Max in charge.

Max is so different from before, well different and the same. She still has her beautiful blondish brown hair and chocolate colored eyes. But gone is the fear and anxiety in them. No more bags under her eyes from not being able to sleep. It makes her face even more flawless then it already is. Leaving her freckles shining golden, and her eyes wide and proud. She's still snarky and sarcastic, but she wouldn't be Max without it. Also, she shows more tenderness to us, I think we can thank Fang for that. She still finds a way to be a total tom boy but be the prettiest girl in the room at the same time. I mean OMG I'm so jealous I spend an hour and a half on my hair to get it to look as nice as hers!

Max and Fang finally made it official and have been boyfriend and girlfriend for four years! They are so cute! I hope one day that me and Ga- ZOMG silly me, I mean someday me and a nice boy will save me and give me a love like Fang and Max.

Hopefully, he's not all sulky and brooding like Fang though. I would want someone who would be able to take me shopping, and take me to movies, and and well whatever I wanted to do. Like he appreciated that it takes forever to be a fashionista like this. I don't get how all the girls drool all over Fang.

Whenever we go somewhere there's always a group of giggling girls pointing at Fang, Fang though, being the smart boy he is chooses to ignore it, otherwise Max would be in a lot of catfights. ZOMG that would be like so fun to see.

I wonder if I look any different? I think so. I'm still 5 4' but everything else has altered. My messy mane of hair now falls in uncontrollable curls down my back instead of at my shoulders, and my skin is an even lighter tone than before. Angel always said I looked supermodel gorgeous, but I wasn't sure if it was sincere or if she was just being the sweet little angel she is.

"Nudge!" Gazzy cackled dropping to the side next to me. "I'll race you. Last one to the house has to clean the toilets! I left you a present by the way."

I gaped at him in an exasperated manner. "Pig!" I screamed before flying after him. No one beats Nudge, it's just common knowledge. Okay, it's not common knowledge but it will be soon. I was NOT going to clean those icky toilets! I just did my nails and just for them, I would strangle Gazzy.

Angel's POV

I brushed my long blonde curls and stared at the mirror. My aqua blue eyes staring back at me. Tomorrow was the first day of school. The first day of high school, where I have to pretend to be a helpless freshman. If only they knew how wrong they were. I bet I could kick everybody's butt in that high school, aside from Nudge and Gazzy of course. I already got this pretending to not exist thing in the bag so maybe high school is my chance to be noticed. I don't see why not I'm nice to people if they do what I say.

All those years on the run and I have grown stronger than the average adult and I'm only 15. I sighed and released my cloud white wings. I really loved them, they were as much of a part of me as my soul. Without them I would feel lost.

Ange? Max thought to me. I smiled. Yes Max? I sent to her. Dinner's ready. I replied back and went to go downstairs. I have resigned from trying to be the leader. I still feel petty for trying to pull that on Max.

I may be able to read minds, but that didn't mean I always make people do what I want when I don't get my way. I've grown up a little in the past couple of years and want people to trust me not to cheat all the time by reading their mind.

"Hey Angel, oh my gosh so Gazzy was being such a jerk! He made me race him and then I ran into a tree! It took me like 2 hours to get all those branches out of my hair. I swear I'm going to end up strangling that boy in his sleep." Nudge ranted on talking about Gazzy as they went down the stairs. It was good to be home.

Fang's POV

"This can't seriously be all you're going to bring today?" Max said angerly.

"Yup."

She looked at my nearly empty backpack with only my laptop and a water bottle.

"What about school supplies like binders, a notebook or at least a pencil?" Max complained.

"Nope, everything I need is in my laptop."

Boom!... Boom!

I smirked Gazzy must of set off a bomb with Iggy. Max frowned but pretended she didn't hear it and went back to ranting on about my backpack. It's not like I need help putting stuff into my own backpack but it's kinda cute watching her get all flustered over little things so I let her continue…

"What if they ask you to read a chapter out of the text book you're supposed to bring?"

"Max it's our first day I doubt their going to make us read out of a text book and besides I can always use that charm you find so irresistible to get out of it."

"Fine but at least bring a lunch; I don't want you trying to take some of mine."

"You don't want to share a lunch? I figured you would find it romantic to share a lunch together, maybe a picnic under the big tree in the courtyard where we can have some privacy and talk about each other's feelings."

"Haha very funny being all mushy isn't going make me share with you."

"Okay suite yourself. Don't try cuddling up to me if you're not going to share your food."

"Fine." She said sadly as she sat on the edge of my bed.

"I'm just messing with you Max." I said as I gently kissed her on the forehead. She smiled but only for a second before she started thinking about college again.

"Okay I'll go make your lunch while you finish getting ready. We have to leave in 20 minutes if we want to get there on time." She said as she stood up and left the room closing the door behind her.

I'll never understand why girls get so stressed out about the first day of school, it's just college it's no different from our first day of high school. People still don't know about us so they'll still ignore us like they always do except the ladies of course.

They try not to make it obvious that their staring at me but Max always notices. I ignore them though because there's only one girl I want to be with and that's Max. Plus, I'd probably be in the hospital if I didn't. She's always been there for me and understands me, plus she's absolutely beautiful. You can't help but give in when you look into those beautiful eyes.

I still don't get why she said to finish getting ready I'm already dressed, which is of course a black t-shirt with dark jeans and a pair of converse. Uuugg sometimes I don't understand girls.

I decided to go to the bathroom to check on my hair since I didn't know what else to do. I opened the bathroom door across from my room but it wouldn't open all the way. Someone was blocking the way and wouldn't move.

"Hey I need to use the bathroom!" I yelled.

"Sorry there's no room Gazzy and Iggy stank up the other two bathrooms and me, Ella and Angel are already crammed in here. You'll have to wait we have to finish perfecting ourselves for school!" Nudge yelled back.

"Whatever.." I mumbled to myself. I'm sure my hair looks good anyways it's just a little shorter than before so it only covers my eyes a little because Max made me get a trim last week. Apparently she didn't like it too long because she couldn't see my eyes. Not much has changed about me I only grew a couple inches so I'm 6'2 now and my arms are more toned but other than that it's the same old me.

I walked downstairs and sat on the couch propping my feet on the coffee table to watch some t.v. before we left but Max ran in…

"Are you ready we have to leave right now?" Max said as she ran into to kitchen to grab our lunches.

"Yeah I'll go start the car." I said as I grabbed my backpack and went outside.

Gazzy's POV

"Get up! Get up Gazzy you have to get ready for school!" Nudge yelled in my ear.

"Uuggghh." I groaned it's 7:40 I don't see why I have to get up it only takes me 5 minutes to get ready.

"You better get up or you'll be sorry," Nudge warned but I ignored her it's way too early for me to get ready. Next thing I knew Nudge flipped my mattress and I fell right on my face.

"Nudge!" I screamed scrambling to my feet to go after her but she was already out the door laughing down the hallway.

"That's what you get for trying to make me clean the toilets!" She yelled between giggles.

I considering chasing after her but I had to go grab my "supplies" out of my closet. I decided today was the day to leave my mark at North Valleys High School. Since people still don't know who I am they'll never suspect a little sophomore like me to pull this off.

In case you're wondering I've spent two weeks on this plan and it's absolutely foolproof. The GASMAN was going to make a mark on this high school. As I finished packing my backpack I got the perfect idea to get back at Nudge. I ran out of room to go find Iggy which was of course in the kitchen making breakfast.

"Hey Ig do you want to help me get back at Nudge," I said trying my best not smile evilly.

"What did you have in mind?" Iggy said raising an eyebrow the way he always does when he has an evil plan.

"Just set this off in the downstairs bathroom, I'll take care of the master bathroom," I said as I handed Iggy a tiny stink bomb.

"Yeah let's do it! Max took all of my stink bombs last week,"

"I've had that hidden in my dirty laundry she never looks there," I laughed. Iggy grinned and ran to the bathroom. I casually walked past all of the girl rooms so they wouldn't be suspicious and couldn't help but chuckle once I made it into the master bedroom.

Boom!

I took that as my cue , I closed the bathroom door and concentrated Boom! My work here is done. I left the bathroom triumphantly and laughed when I passed by Nudge's room. It only took her 5 seconds to realize what just happened. Ha that's what she gets; no one messes with the Gasman.

"Gazzy! Iggy! I'm so going to kill you two!" Nudge screamed.

"What's wrong Nudge? What did they do?" Ella asked as her and Angel went into her room.

"They stank up the bathrooms so now we have to share the small bathroom!" Nudge cried trying not to scream. Ella and Angel both groaned as they sadly walked to the small bathroom.

"Victory is mine!" I cackled as I ran down the stairs to go high five Iggy. Girls make it almost too easy to get pranked. I sat down next to Iggy and had some chocolate chip pancakes. This was going to be a great first day of school I've already set off the first bomb of the day.

Iggy POV

Whoa first day of college already it feels like just yesterday I was saving the world with the flock. I'm actually really excited for college because other than the core classes I have to take I have all cooking classes. I pretend like I don't care in front of Fang because he thinks everything is lame other than himself.

I was so excited that I ran into Dr. Martinez's room when I found out I got accepted to the University of Mullingar in Bradford, Colorado. Of course Max and Fang were accepted too but they weren't excited about it. Probably because Dr. Martinez is pretty much forcing them to go to college because it's something that normal people do.

They don't really mind because at least they get to go to the same college. I can't imagine Max and Fang having a long distance relationship. Max would have a hard time writing down her feelings through text or even funnier love letters. She would die of embarrassment if she wrote one and any of us found it, we would never let her live it down.

It would probably be something along the lines of "Dear Fangles, I love you to the moon and back. I miss you soo much I wish you were here." Blah just kidding she would never write that but I know she says that stuff to Fang all the time. She thinks if she whispers "I love you Fang" thinking I won't hear her even though I'm sitting right next to them. Eww and get this he whispers "I love you too Maxie" back. That's just bleh, the Igster doesn't roll like that. I can't commit to one woman, I have needs you know.

I mean it's not that I can't a girl, if you haven't already guessed I'm kinda a ladies man. With my strawberry blonde hair and pale blue eyes, I am one hot commodity. Gone was the lanky albino and in replace of him was one hot dude. My biceps were to die for if I do say so myself and the ladies went crazy for it. There is this one girl though. She could change my perspective. She would be someone I'd be okay settling down with, we've known each other so long though, I don't know if she would even feel the same. Okay enough of that lovey dovey stuff I need to start getting ready for school.

I'm not really sure what to bring so all I'm going with a binder with some paper and a pen. I'm sure everyone is hungry and expecting me to make breakfast so I went downstairs to the kitchen to cook. It was weirdly quiet and its 7:00, the girls should be getting ready by now. I could be nice and wake them up or pretend I didn't notice and continue cooking. Yep that sounds like a good idea besides they'll probably wake up to the smell of my awesome chocolate chip pancakes.

The first one to come down was Ella she was still in her pj's and she had some serious bedhead but she looked cute.

"Good Morning"

"Morning" she mumbled. She looked exhausted even though she said she was going to bed at 9:00.

"Did you sleep good?"

"Not really.. I don't want to talk about it." She said and you can tell whatever it was really bugging her.

"Okay want some pancakes? You're the first one up so you get the first ones."

"Sure" Ella said still clearly thinking about her dream. I wonder what it was? Was it about me or was it a bad dream? Defiantly about me I decided. We didn't really talk much after that, I cooked while she ate her pancakes. When she was done she went back upstairs to get dressed.

A few minutes later I was almost finished with making pancakes when Gazzy came down stairs with an evil smile on his face. Whatever he's up to I'm in it's so boring cooking with no one to talk to.

Ella's POV

It was a beautiful day to go for a walk in the park the sun was shining and it was warm out. I love these kinds of days where you can get away from all the craziness that goes on at home. Don't get me wrong I love them all so much but there's always some sort of drama going on like everyone complaining that Max and Fang are making out again or Gazzy picking fights with everyone.

I don't really mind because it can be very entertaining watching them fight but sometimes I like to get away for a little to get some peace and quiet. I was enjoying the sun so much I sat on a bench and closed my eyes just to soak up the sun for a little while before I go back home. The sun felt so warm but it started to get colder like a cloud went in front of the sun. I opened my eyes to see but it wasn't a cloud, it was Iggy standing over me.

"Hey beautiful, what are you doing here by yourself?" Iggy asked with a huge smile on his face. Wait did he just call me beautiful? It caught me off guard and I can feel myself blushing.

"I was just walking through the park to get some fresh air," I replied.

"Well I can sit with you, no girl as pretty as you should have to sit alone," he said as he sat down making sure he was sitting close enough for our legs to be touching.

"Umm Iggy are you feeling okay?"

"Of course I am why wouldn't I be gorgeous?"

"Because your acting weird." I said, getting more confused by the second.

"I'm fine baby. Let's talk about you instead." He said as he moved a strand of hair from my face leaving his hand on my cheek. OMG is Iggy flirting with me? I mean I've always had a little crush on him but I never thought it would ever turn into anything.

"I don't really know what to talk about," I said stupidly, not knowing what to say. I mean Iggy is hitting on me! I need to say some before he loses interest. I was about to say something when Iggy interrupted me.

"It's okay we don't have to do anymore talking," he said as he leaned toward me for a kiss..BEEP…BEEP…BEEP…BEEP. I nearly jumped out of my bed when my alarm went off. OMG I can't believe that was all a dream and since when did my little crush on Iggy become a huge crush? I'm so confused I need to go clear my head. After a few minutes of arguing with myself I decided to go downstairs and see Iggy just to see if it's awkward between us. I hope it's not but the more I think about him the more I wish I really did kiss him. As I walked downstairs I got even more nervous and decided to just keep the conversation short and pretend I'm still groggy from sleep.

I eyed him suspiciously but he was the same old Iggy. Flipping pancakes and flexing his biceps. I swear he was obsessed with those things. Sighing I walked into the kitchen, pretending to be groggy.

We made light conversation but I could tell he was curious about something. I hope I didn't give anything away. That was something I DID NOT need Iggy to know. The self-proclaimed ladies man would just have to live with it. I wordlessly walked out of the room and upstairs to go get dressed for the day. Sometimes I wish Iggy was still an albino. Sigh, I hope the school day brings something good.

Hope you like this story lovelies! Review please! Much appreciated. Love yah from me Amberlynn and Annabelle. Oh and the lovely albino the Igster.
