Chapter 1:

MAX POV:

Up, down, up , down. I made huge arcs in the air as I flew above my flock. "One, two, left" I muttered to myself as I made formations in the sky.

Ok, I admit it. I was bored. Bored out of my freaking mind. Not even the Gasman and his crazy imitations could entertain me. I was on the verge of going insane. Can you die of boredom? I think you can. Its one of my theories. If you do nothing for long enough, you just go insane and totally lose it.

I did a three sixty turn in the air. No one was following us. Usually when I was this bored it meant that we had been off the radar for so long, that Flyboys would appear any moment. So far, that wasn't the case.

I began my formations in the sky again, tuning out Nudge's voice as she explained to Fang the importance of hair products. Should I go save him? Nah…

I did big swoops in the air, spinning round and round until I felt like I was going to hurl. Then I stopped, held my stomach and flapped on the spot until my stomach had settled.

Wow. I was insanely bored. It was time to do something.

"Guys! Listen up!" I said, making five heads, six including Total's, swivel towards me at an alarming speed, shocked.

Go to the School. In California. Information about Itex is kept there.

I blinked, shocked by my Voice's sudden reappearance. I should of gotten use to it by now, but still every time he popped up, I couldn't help but give a little jump.

Without bothering to ask any further questions, I went with it.

"We're going back to California. To the School." All of ours worst nightmare.

PAGE BREAK

So, we changed direction and headed to California. Nobody was happy about my announcement, but they knew I meant well and wouldn't just drag them down there for no apparent reason. We were flying against an air current, adding about forty minutes to flight time. That meant…three hours, four hours to go? We would have to stop and rest, of course, and get food breaks, which added another hour and a bit onto the flight. I sighed, it was going to be a long day.

I know you want to hear what happened through the next hour of our flight, and too be honest, nothing did. Nothing beyond the ordinary, anyway. Angel and Gazzy fought, Nudge talked, Fang didn't talk, and Iggy held Total. Oh, and Total talked. In fact, I was about ready to blow it with all this talking.

"Shut up already!" I screamed suddenly at Total, who was complaining to Iggy about animal rights.

"Well, sorry, Mrs. Crabbypants" Total said with a huff.

I shot him a look and he quieted instantly. It was then, that Nudge, and I do admire her bravery for this, told me she was hungry.

"Ok ok" I sighed. "We'll get food as soon as possible. Can you hold on for like, two minutes?" I gave her a pleading smile.

"But…" she whined.

"Ok! Jeezums! I understand your hungry, but unless you want to stop in the middle of a forest" I pointed down below us, where acres of rolling hills and trees waited "and eat rats and rabbit, and anything else we can kill for food, you are going to wait until we near a town. Comprende?" Nudge, and the others looked at me in utter shock. I sighed, letting all my anger out. "Please Nudge. Hold on for like, two minutes."

She nodded, her eye still wide in fear.

"Thank you. Now, as soon as anyone sees a place to eat, holler." The flock nodded just like Nudge, except for Fang, who just stared at me. I shot him the bird and turned my focus back to the ground, searching for a restaurant. Things had been awkward between Fang and I lately. Don't ask me why, our relationship was as complicated as ourselves. We never knew when to be pissed, and when to be happy with each other. Normally, Fang would of came up beside me and asked me what was wrong. But not today. Right now, it was one of those bad days, and I was practically fuming from the ears.

I kept my eyes on the prize: food. No sense in worrying about Fang right now. I would worry about him later, when we had a chance to rest and we could talk in peace. If it did turn out to be a peaceful talk, when in some cases, it wasn't.

The forest below us turned out to be larger than we expected. It took us fifteen minutes to locate the nearest town and do dive bomb. I watched the others, including Fang, head down before I tucked in my wings and aimed downward.
