Airplanes are probably the best invention created by humankind. I mean, anything that gets you closer to this feeling is seriously amazing. I can't even begin to explain how great it is being fifteen thousand feet above sea level watching dinky little planes go from place to place while we can play tag-a-feather, wing-wing-fly, and-even though Total hated it and Angel yelped whenever Gazzy accidentally missed-Hot Dog (Like hot potato except instead of a potato we use Total). Looking at the faces of the other members in the Flock, I think they were feeling the same amount of bliss as me as we floated on top of an air current. Man, this is the genetically-engineered life.

I did an automatic 360 as I felt something around me. Fang. Fang and I had begun to *gulp* go out. And despite the Flock's obvious excitement about it-Angel wanted a summer wedding and Nudge swore if I chose someone else to design the dress she'd kill me-I still felt weird whenever I was by him. I've never read any teen magazines-surprisingly the School didn't have Teen Vogues lying around anywhere-so how was I supposed to know what to do? At least we weren't stuck in a weird love triangle. Only then would I think my life was only a joke to the big guy up there.

Max, Fang loves you. And you love him...And I was actually thinking about a spring wedding.I jumped and looked at Angel the demonic/angelic mind-reader. She smiled brightly before turning to look at Nudge and talk excitedly. Crap.

Iggy snickered and I turned to give him my death glare. "You know what? This is so not funny! Why don't you go date someone and be totally embarrassed and already have your wedding plans made when it's not even legal yet!" Except in New Hampshire, Angel chimed in.

I fumed as he just continued to laugh harder. He pointed below us and I practically bust a vein in anger when I saw Gazzy futilely trying to hide behind Fang and only managing to cause Total to yelp as Gazzy jostled Fang's backpack.

"And besides, I'm already dating someone" Iggy said while looking straight at Angel with a confused expression that was quickly turning to anger. That was enough to stop me from chasing after Gazzy.

"What?? Who?" It's not like he had even talked to anybody besides the Flock, Mom, and Ella...Ella! Oh my god....Iggy dating Ella. It was almost incomprehensible how strange that was. So that was why Ella always blushed when Iggy came into the room...

"Err... Nobody. Forget I said anything" He backtracked while trying to achieve an innocent expression. I was suddenly reminded of Angel's mind powers.

"Angel!!" I whipped around to give her the lesson I must have told her a thousand times, "NO using your mind to control the Flock...Ever!!" and then realized that. She. Wasn't. There. I heard a small shout and realized that she was thousands of feet below us. And I swear on my wings that I saw blood on hers.

Deja Vu. Once again I was going to drop through clouds to try to catch one I loved. But this time I knew if I didn't catch her that I will never, ever be able to forgive myself.

With a quick look at Fang I went into super speed and dropped trying to catch up with Angel as she dropped lower into the sky.

-get me!! Please Max hurry!! I can't move my wing and it hurts... Max please come get me. I CANT FLY!!!, Angel screamed into my head as I pushed my wings to carry me down faster.

I'm coming, Angel just hold on!

Angel was only a couple hundred feet away when I noticed the group of dirty, dark teenagers far down below in the forest. I shot down faster and went fifty feet below Angel to scoop her up. First take care of Angel... Then beat the hell out of those teens for messing with my baby.
