Author's note: Hey there! This is my first ever fanfic, so YAY! I was inspired to write this by a question that would always pop up whenever the flock was fly, and I if I remember correctly, Nudge asked Max a question about this sort of thing in the first book. I'm sorry if it seems OOC-ish because I have only read my way through about half of the first book, but I really wanted to write this and get this up and posted. So, read, enjoy, and review peoples!

Disclaimer: Think. Would I be here typing this and posting it up here if I owned the plot and stories? The correct answer is: HECK NO!

Max's POV

Clouds. Until now I've never really thought much of clouds. Until today I've never really thought about how scary they could be.

I was flying high and feeling good, watching the rest flock flying along below me. Then I did the stupidest thing someone like me could probably ever do.

I flew into a cloud. Without even knowing it until I couldn't see the flock below me and I could only see the fluffy whiteness of the cloud.

Now, I know what you are thinking. I should just fly downward until I exit this seemingly endless cloud or that I could just turn around and fly out the way that I had come in, but before I could do either of these things, it hit me. I collided head-on with the strongest wind current that I have ever felt in my life. It was so strong that I tumbled and spun ever which way in midair in mid-cloud. When the wind current eventually died down after giving me the ride of my life, I was completely confused. I had no idea as to which way was up, which way was down, right, left, and even backwards and forwards. I started to panic. We could not get separated again. Not after what happened the last time. I shuddered as unpleasant memories came flooding back to me. I tried to calm myself down. 'Okay, relax. I can figure this out. I'm going get back to the flock in no time. I hope.'
