I woke up and stretched out my legs, hitting someone in the process.

"Ow!" Said the person who I hit.

I just laugh. "Don't be a baby, Iggy."

Iggy rubs the red mark on his leg where I accidentally kicked him. "That actually hurt."

I just roll my eyes at him, which is lost on him, because, you know, he's blind.

I roll out of my bed made of sand and look around me. Iggy and I are the only ones up; Max rolls around in her sleep, Fang is motionless, Nudge is talking(not surprising), Angel is cuddling her bear, and Gazzy is exerting, let's just call it his "special skill."

Groaning, I open my wings and flap them, getting some fresh air in here. Then I grab Iggy's pan from his bag, and a stick and bang them together.

"It's another morning, get up and face it!" I yell at the flock, laughing.

Groaning, they all sit up.

"Snow, why are you waking us up?" Max asks tiredly.

I look at her expectantly. "Well, it's morning, so we have to go."

She looks up. "Okay then."

Nudge groans. "Can't we sleep for longer?"

"Don't you want to find your mom?" Max smirks. In a second, Nudge is up and combing her hair.

I laugh and nudge Iggy with my shoe because he's still laying down.

"C'mon Iggy, get up!" I say to him, rolling him onto his back with my shoe. Iggy groans uncomfortably.

"Don't make me sleep on my back, you know that's uncomfortable," he groans.

I slam the pan and stick together right next to his face. "Then get up!"

….A FEW MINUTES HAVE PASSED….

Max smiles at everyone. "Ready to go?"

"Yep," everyone choruses.

"All right, let's go."

So we take to the skies, on our way to Washington D.C. There's no better feeling then flying. Letting your feathers soak up the sun, the wind flowing through your hair…..I guess you guys don't have wings…. HA HA.

Anyway, flying is great. Watching everyone around me in perfect formation, we look like fighter jets or something, we just look awesome.

….SOMETIME LATER WHEN WE'RE CLOSE TO D.C. BUT NOT THERE YET…..

Max looks around us. "Okay guys, I think we'll be in D.C. in an hour or so."

Everyone choruses "okay," except Angel. She's squinting into the distance in front of us.

"Max, what's that?" she asked. She sounded a little concerned.

Max squints at the black dots approaching. "I don't know, hawks? Eagles?"

We all squint as they get closer. Then I realize the truth.

"It's flying Erasers," I say in shock.

Everyone looks panicked. Then Max gives out orders.

"Guys, split up! Nudge, top! Angel, right! Iggy, left! Gazzy, down! Snow, middle with me and Fang! And Fang, ditch the dog!"

"No Fang!" whines Angel. But then the Erasers are here and I don't think, just act. I immediately launch myself at one's stomach. The air is knocked out of him and as he gasps for air, I karate chop the back of his neck, and he falls.

I look around quickly. Angel looks fine, she's making Erasers fall out of the sky by just telling them too. Kind of funny. Nudge is in trouble though. An Eraser has her by the neck and is moving his fangs toward her. I jump onto him, poking him in the eye and kicking him in the mouth, breaking a couple teeth.

"Move it!" I say to Nudge, kicking my Eraser in the head for good measure. She nods and flies away, coughing.

All around me, Erasers are falling. We seem to be winning. Then I see Ari, and I feel red hot anger. But Max is already on it. She flies at Ari and kicks him in the head and flits away. Roaring, he lunges for her but she flies out of range. I turn back to my own fight, and knock out two more Erasers before turning back to Ari and Max.

Max smiles victoriously as Ari pants.

"This won't be the last time we face off," he promises. "Next time, I'll win." She spits at him as he turns to go after an unsuspecting Fang.

"Fang!" Max yells as Ari slashes at him. Fang jumps back, but Ari still slashes his jacket. Oh where's Total, you ask? Oh, he's in Fang's backpack. Kinda forgot to mention that. Ari flies away panting. "Next time we'll kill you all. We were just going easy on you."

He gives us a toothy snarl and flies away with the remaining Erasers.

Max looks around at everyone. "Report?" she says expectantly.

"Nothing here," I smile at her. I got one slash on my leg, but I can feel it healing already.

"Umm…I have a broken nose, but besides that, I'm good," says Iggy.

"I have some cuts, but they stopped bleeding," reports Nudge.

Gazzy rubs his thigh. "I got some bruises." he shrugs. "No big deal."

Angel frowns. "Yeah, I have a couple cuts, nothing serious."

Max nods and looks to Fang. He nods back at her.

"Are you sure?" she asks. He nods.

"Okay," Max sighs. "So is everyone all right to move on?"

"Yeah," everyone says with varying levels of enthusiasm.

So we fly on, Fang hanging in the back. Max flies back to him after a few minutes to take Total, but she comes back to the front after that.

I hang next to Iggy, looking at his broken nose with sympathy. Gazzy is flying with Angel, and Nudge is with Max, so I'm talking with Iggy.
