"Nudge!" Someone called at Nudge from another room, "You're on in five."

"Okay," She said and looked in the mirror. It's just another show. Just this time you're modeling with your wings out… again.

"Nudge, now!" The show's manager said.

Here goes nothing, Nudge thought and snapped out her wings. She absolutely loved modeling; it was the best job ever. Nudge got to wear all of the newest and the most fashionable clothes that were being made, and nobody even cared about her wings. Actually the crowd loved her wings and her modeling agency made clothes to showcase them.

Nudge walked out onto the runway, as always the flashes from the camera were blinding at first but then she could see clearly. Now this is the life. She was twenty-one and living safely. Max and Fang had saved the world and now the flock was free to live and do whatever they wanted.

Screech! The tires of the car squealed. Angel looked at the driving school teacher innocently. Aw, can I have my license this time. I've taken the test four times! Gazzy can help me learn to drive. Please. Please!! Angel thought at the Teacher.

"Okay Angel I'll tell you what, you are going to get your license but your brother is going to have to help you. Okay?" The teacher said oblivious to what Angel had done.

"Yay! Thank you so much!" Angel cheered and gave the teacher a hug.

Within the hour Angel had her license. She stepped outside and showed it to Gazzy, "I did it!" she exclaimed and gave him a hug.

"Did you cheat?" He asked raising an eyebrow in disbelief.

"Well…" Angel trailed off, "They said if you helped me then I'd be fine."

"Angel!"

"The license is just for convince, we still will fly for the most part!" Angel pleaded to Gazzy.

"Fine lets fly back to Arizona; Max and Fang should be back from Asia by now," he said, "I think Iggy and Ella are back from Antarctica too."

"Okay then, let's go!" Angel said and together they took off.

Iggy and Ella stepped into Dr. Martinez's house, "We're back!" Ella shouted and ran up to give her mom a hug.

"Hey Dr. Martinez," Iggy said casually.

"Mom look!" Ella exclaimed showing her right hand to her mom. "Iggy proposed to me! I'm getting married!"

Dr. Martinez smiled, "I knew it would be coming up soon. So are you going to elope like Max and Fang or are you going to have a real wedding?"

"Whatever we can afford really, I wouldn't mind something big," Ella said but really hinting for the larger wedding.

"Something big it is!" Dr. Martinez said and gave Ella and Iggy a hug.

"I'm going to call Nudge and see if she can help me out with the dress," Ella said pulling out her phone, "Hey Nudge, you're never going to believe it. Iggy proposed! You're coming down for the week right? Everyone should be here."

"Fang, we have to get going. Ella is still mad at me from the last time we were late," I complained shaking his shoulders. He wouldn't get off the couch.

"Ugh, they'll live," he said flashing a smile at me. In the past six years his smiles had become more and more common. Maybe marriage has something to do with it. Yeah I know you're thinking, married at 18? Maximum Ride, you're kidding me right? Well… I'm not.

"My mom spent a lot of money for plane tickets to get us back to the states." I tugged on his arm but he wouldn't budge.

"Max, calm down we have to be at the airport in an hour and it's like a twenty minute flight to get there." He said and pulled me down on to the couch next to him.

I kissed him quickly and somehow I got him off the couch. "Let's go," I whispered in his ear and quickly we were packed and flying, literally.
