A/N: my last one was really, really stupid. I can't believe I made people read it. This one will be better. I promise.

CHAPTER 1

"Fang?" I asked my husband. Yes, I'm Max, and yes, Fang is my husband.

"Yeah?"

"Have you seen Iggy or Nudge? I can't find them."

"Have you looked in the pond?" he asked. Iggy and Nudge have been spending a lot of time together lately. And they usually spend evenings down at the pond, a 2 minute flight from our house.

"Yes, I did, but they're not there."

"Well, they have to be somewhere. They won't miss dinner for the world," Fang said, turning back to the boiling pasta.

I was about to correct him, saying that they have missed dinner for the world before, 7 years ago, but I decided not to. "Yeah. Yeah, you're right. I'll find them."

At dinner…

"Max?" Gasman asked me.

"Yes, honey?"

"Where's Iggy and Nudge?"

"I seriously don't know. I've looked everywhere, but I can't find them."

Just then Fang came in. "Well, they probably went to see a 4 hour long movie."

"Come on," I said. "Moves are not that long."

Fang was about to answer, but just then, Angel came in. "Max?"

I sighed, thinking I knew what was coming. "I don't know where they are, angel. They're probably on a little trip. They'll be back soon."

"I do. You're right. They are on a trip, but they're not planning on coming back anytime real soon," she said.

"What?" the rest of us, including Total, chimed.

"I have a note. They're going to Las Vegas. Then they're going to go to Hawaii, or some place like that." She didn't sound too happy.

"Well, what are they doing in Las Vegas?" Fang asked, showing real concern now.

Angel brightened at this. She smiled, well, angelically, and said, "they're going to elope."
