Disclaimer: I do not own the character, places, or things, created by James Patterson. I do however own the character Danni Fisher, and other characters that I create.

Note: This story and "Out of the Shadows" take place after "The Angel Experiment". This is an AU and "School's out Forever" has never happened.

Chapter One

"Happy Birthday!" Iggy whispered a yell.

"Go away," Danni muttered throwing her blanket over her head. Four thirty-five o'clock in the morning was too early to be woken, even by her boyfriend.

He smiled and peeled the blanket from her hands. "I'm not leaving that easy, kitty."

"Kitty?" she asked. Fine so the school gave her two percent tiger DNA, but did he have to call her kitty? How would he feel if she called him birdie just because he, Max, Fang, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel were born with two percent bird DNA?

He made a face. "Okay, sorry. Now get changed and come open your present."

"No, too early." She yawned. She could see that the other beds in the room, arranged as best as the girls could but still managing to leave almost no floor space, was empty. Recently she found out that she could see in the dark if some light was present, for instance just the stars could help her see an entire field and everything in it.

Iggy sighed and lay down next to her. "If you don't wake up I won't give you the traditional kisses."

"A, it's spanks, and b, look at the clock. Too early."

"No, it's not," Iggy took her hand and rubbed his finger across her knuckles. "It's seven forty in the morning."

She snorted turning from her stomach to her side so she could face him and so he could receive her death glare head on. "That's still too early. Wake me when it's later."

"No," Iggy said simply. He stood with Danni's hand still in his own. With not much effort he pulled her to her feet.

It was December and the wood floor was cold. In a second Danni went to half awake to as a wake as a puppy on caffeine. So shocked from the cold she fell back onto the bed. Another glare to Iggy was sent as she reached for her blue socks that had yellow ducks with the word "quack" written by each duck.

Standing Danni and Iggy were close, each could feel the others heat coming off of them in waves.

She smiled her blue eyes looking into his. She lightly placed a kiss on his lips before nudging him to the door.

As they crossed the threshhold she wondered what they could have gotten her for her birthday.

"Okay what's so important?" She asked smelling breakfast already made.

"This," Nudge said pointing to a sheet-covered artifact that was the size of hardcover book.

Max smiled and pulled the sheet off. As the Flock looked at Danni to see her reaction she gasped for two reasons: one, the gift was the best she ever had gotten and two, her head filled with excruciating pain that brough her to her knees.

AN: I know that this chapter is short. The next chapters will most likely be short two, but as I am not able to use my computer and have limited time on the computer I am using this seems like the best way to get chapters up fast and easy. I hoped you all liked the first chapter, and sorry for the cliffhanger, but I couldn't resist.
