California Beach

Chapter 1: Fang's jealousy

-Max-

We were headed to California. I had been out voted because Nudge had to mention the beach. The minute the beach had become an option I knew I had lost when I saw the gleam in the flock's eyes. Not only did we have to fly four hours to get there but I would like to see you try to control a bunch of mutant bird kids. Things such as "are we there yet" and "I have to go to the bathroom" were common used to drive me insane. Fang oh so kindly didn't bother to help out so I was alone. Finally I couldn't take it anymore so we decided to stop for a bathroom break and something to eat.

The restaurant's neon lights flashed brightly from a top the roof. "Papa Joe's Family Restaurant" was right next to the restrooms. The building itself was homey looking with bushes along the edge of the building. The walls were painted white with red shutters surrounding the square windows along the sides. When walking into the restaurant you were met with oldies music and the smell of fried foods. It was just the place we needed to settle down for lunch.

As we waited in the lobby I noticed a waiter in the corner. The waiter was a guy who was about 6'2, with brown hair, dark eyes, cute, and he was staring right at me. I looked away quickly hoping he didn't see me check him out. After a few minutes I looked back around to see him coming our way. He started to greet us and I could feel Fang watching us. The waiter made a special note to talk with me while we were being led to our seats. In the corner of my eye I saw Fang tense.

-Fang and His Mental Rant-

Who does this guy think he is going and flirting with Max? I mean really could you be any more obvious this is a family restaurant. If only I could get my hands around his neck. And his name is Roger how plain is Roger. (Sorry to any Rogers out there I have nothing against the name Roger it is just for the sake of the rant). Wait a minute what did I care if someone flirted with Max. She was only my sister sort of, my really hot sister. Darn it Fang get your head together. My thoughts were broken when Max jabbed me in the ribs. I was standing in the middle of the restraint while the rest of the flock was sitting at a booth. People were starting to stare at me and I decided to slip into the booth before I attracted anymore attention.

-Max-

What was with Fang today he was acting really weird? Not only was he constantly daydreaming but also got tense whenever the waiter came by.

Finally Roger came back and asked us for are order. I ordered three hamburgers, two sodas, three baskets of fries, and some onion rings. The waiter was shocked. His face went pale; his eyed bulged out of their sockets. He probably would look at me after this.

"Are you sure you want all that miss," he asked. I couldn't tell whether he was shocked, impressed, or extremely grossed out.

"I am very hungry".

"Yes Miss', he turned to the rest of the flock and took their orders. Roger left sort of dazed but not before he glanced my way one more time; that was new. I guess he was not completely grossed out.

"Hey Max, that boy thinks you are cute," said Angel in my mind. I blushed which is something I don't usually do. Fang looked at me with questions in his eyes but I ignored him. It was none of his business anyways. Soon the waiter came back.

"Sorry to bother you miss but my manager saw your order and would like to know if you can pay for all that food," he asked. I thought this guy was sweet but I was going to snap if someone asked me if I had enough money to pay for something one more time.

"Don't worry I have it covered". I was trying my best not to go mutant bird girl on Roger's ass. I felt accomplished by my anger control and was even able to end the sentence with a smile. Roger nodded and smiled back before returning to the back.

Soon the food came out. We ate all of it and the waiters and people around us just gazed in shock. I tried to suppress a smile this never got old. When we were finished the waiter gave me the bill. I in return gave him my credit card. When he returned the credit card was not the only thing I got back. On the back of the receipt was his phone number.

"Have a nice day miss," the waiter said while giving me a wink. Fang was giving him dagger eyes and looked like he was gonna flip. All this emotion from him today was both shocking and hilarious. I tucked my credit card in my back pocket and guided the group outside. Next stop California.

AN- Hey guys I am back! Though probably since this story is so old anybody who used to read this has moved on. I want to just inform you guys that this story will not continue but I am going to rewrite it. I don't plan on changing anything in the plot, but am mostly just going back to lengthen some of the chapters with more detailed description and correct grammar mistakes. However If I do find something out of character or just plain stupid I probably will alter the story when rewriting. Please also note that I am not a constant writer and these reforms will probably happen in bursts from time to time. However since it is summer I do expect that they should frequent enough. I do hope that you guys will review because that encourages me to write more and your constructive criticism helps me improve as a writer.

Till next time
