Max walked stiffly down the hall. For some reason her wings had been killing her! As she made her way to Jebs study she bumped into Fang. A small hiss of discomfort made its way from her lips. Fang turned to look at her.

"You ok?"he asked. Max rolled her eyes. Always little talk with this one. Why couldn't she make Fang and Nudge switch?

"My wings hurt,"she admitted."I wanted to ask Jeb about it but I-"

"He's out. Want me to help?"Max smiled. Fang always made it better.

"Sure why not?"Fang grabbed her hand and took her to his room. She was the only one he ever let in there, actually. He only trusted her.

"Lay down,"he commanded pointing to the bed. Max turned and flushed, but did as she was told. She crawled up to the pillows and flopped down. Though she was 12 now, she had read all the books in Jebs study. And she knew what happen went boys and girls were alone together.

Fangs hands gently touched in between her wings. Max stiffened as there was a sharp pinching pain. Then, slowly, he started to rub. Max sighed as the pain began to fade. Soothing pleasure washed over her and she slipped into a deep sleep.

He sighed knowing that him and Ig were next for this pain. It was a proven fact that women hit puberty a lot sooner than men. Fang wondered it Max would do this for him.

Fangs hand stopped moving when he heard little snores. Smirking he leaned over and looked at her face. She was sound asleep. He decided not to wake her. This was, realistically, the only time they ever looked peaceful.

He gently slid off the bed and out the door. As he was closing it Nudge ran up to him. She was 9 now. Her hair was growing out long and she had all kinds of colors on.

"Fang! Fang!"she yelled. Fang put a finger to his lips telling her to be quite. She nodded understanding."Fang, Ig and Gaz are making things again,"she tatled.

Fang nodded and went to Iggys room. Sure enough Iggy and Gazzy were sitting on the floor. There were chemicals around them. Baking soda, Flour, Vegetable oil, and so on.

Suddenly Iggy looked up,"Fang?"

Gazzy turned around."Fang!"he shouted.

"Wanna see our latest bomb?"Iggy held up a little red sphere.

"What is it?"

"It's a cherry bomb. Wanna test it out?"Iggy smiled. Fang shrugged and they left the house. They got over 300 miles away before Iggy throw the bomb. It exploded making Gaz fly back and shove Iggy and Fang.

At the house, Max heard the explosion waking her up. She punched the bed and ran to the dinning room. Angel and Nudge were putting stickers on a sheet of paper.

"What was that?"she asked.

"Bombs of boom!"Angel yelled gaining goofily.

'Iggy Gazzy when I get my hands on you Ill kill you,'Max thought flying out the door. Since they had found out Angel could read minds they beleaved everything she said. Max figured that she read one of there minds.

Gazzy and Iggy were talking about new bomb blue prints and such when Max popped in front of them.'Uh oh,'Iggy thought.'Shes going to tell us to stop making bombs.'

"Gazzy Iggy what did you do?"she asked.

"Made a bomb,"Iggy stated dejectedly.

Max sighed, no matter how much she hated bombs it was a good defense."Next time throw it in the lake. I don't want anyone hurt."

"Fine no more- what?"

"You can still make bombs, just throw them in the lake to see if they work,"she repeated.

"Yes! Come on Gaz we have some work to do!"they flew off. Before Max could leave Fang grabbed her.

"How are you wings?"there was a lace of worry in his tone.

"My wings? Oh, there much better thank you. Now let's get to the house,"she took his hand and they flew together. When they got their, Nudge was cutting Angels hair really short.

"Nudge!"Max gasped. Where had she found the sissors?"Nudge what did you do to Angels hair? Oh itll take forever to grow back,"Max sighed grabbing the broom."You two go to your rooms and think about what you did,"the frowned walking away.

"Your acting like a mom,"Fang commented.

"Well someone has to Fang. Jebs not here and I will not let them destroy the house. We have to take care of it because this is our home,"Max was surprised when she felt the broom taken out of her hand. She almost thought that he would throw them down and kiss her passionately. But then she realised she was watching too much romantic T.V.

Fang bent down and cleaned up the floor. Max smiled and ruffled his hair. He shook his head and smirked.

Later that night they made microwave meals. Max looked around and noticed that Fang wasnt at the table. She put her plate down and went to find him. The others were too busy watching T.V.

Max walked around checking every room until there were none left. Well there was the bath room. Without knocking she opened the door.

"Fang dinners- oh lord!"Fang was dripping wet with a towel around his waist. His olive skin glistened and she blushed. She should have knocked! She ran out slamming the door. That was so embarrassing!

"Dinners ready!"she called walking away. A mumbled 'ok' was heard. Max flushed realising something. The flock was growing up.
