The flock and I were flying high over NYC, when I saw Nudge glide over to me (of course she'll be hungry, like usual…)

"Maaax, I'm hungry" Nudge whined

(Of course! What did I think!?)

"Okay…" I mumbled and glanced at Fang, he gave me a nod,

"Okay, uh… we'll land over there" I said, pointing to an alley near a McDonalds

"Yay!" The younger kids cheered in unison

We descended down to the alley, tucking or wings in and putting on our windbreakers.

Then Nudge started racing to the McDonalds and shouted, "Come on guys!" and of course, we were all starving so we followed her wordlessly.

Once we got in we ordered and I paid (Technically the MaxRide bank card did), we went over to a table, eating like a bunch of starving orphans… wait… we are a bunch of starving orphans! Anyways, once we finished and got out of there and up into the air, the whole city blacked out (Snap). This can't be good (A/N: Sarcastic No!)…

"Max!" Angel screamed, "I can't see!"

Then Iggy piped in, "Well, now you know how the blind guy feels"

I couldn't see either but I remembered Iggy being next to me so I smacked him with my wing,

"Okay, just try and land up over in the woods... If you can find them... and in the morning we'll keep going, got it?" I asked.

Then I heard a yea, sure, okay, fine, and of course a whatever from tall, dark, and annoying, then I decided to go ahead and fly low for a minute to see what was going on down there, and when I did, WHAM! I flew right into a pole! Suddenly I heard some voices saying my name... right before I blacked out.
