I do not own anything other than the plot and Savannah and Jessie.

CHAPTER 2

Max

We all gathered into the living room which had a couple different color sleeping bags and matching backpacks, a bright yellow and a dark green one, also Ella's magenta coloured one, as she called it. "Girls, why don't we leave our sleeping bags in here so that way we can all sleep in here. If we move the couch back and…Max, can you help me move the table across to the wall? Thanks! We're also going to need many more sleeping bags for Max and everyone else."

"Ella, I'll help with getting the other blankets and sleeping bags! Remember how last time we were here we all bought a sleeping bag from the store in the mall that you took us to and they had one in every color, well—"

"Tiffany, she gets it!" Iggy who had been sitting on the newly arranged couch got up and walked towards where Ella was, "I'll help too, but remember the white one is mine…" with that, Nudge, Ella and Iggy went upstairs where all of the sleeping bags were.

Angel sitting beside Anna giggled. All eyes turned to Angel who immediately waved it off. I would ask her later. "It's nothin' I just thought of something funny"

"Nick! Can you come help me for a second?" As soon as Fang was out the door, Anna who was obviously the quiet one in the group said quickly, "So does this mean the boys are sleeping down here too? I was thinking that maybe when they are sleeping we can put makeup on them and dye their hair funky colours with food colouring!" You could see the growing excitement in Angel's mind that may have been relaying this to Nudge in her mind.

Suddenly Iggy, Ella and Nudge, who had a huge smile on, walked in with a sleeping bag in each hand followed by Fang carrying an extra-large tray of her famous taco recipe that I helped make once. My mood temporarily brightened with the sight of food, add the aroma of her chocolate chip melt-in-your-mouth cookies.

"Well, I have no idea what the boys are going to do but us girls, after we finish eating, should start the makeover fun. Max I could not help but notice the state your poor nails are in! So that means it'll have to be fixed but not till later tonight!" At the wretched words that Jessie let out of her mouth, I could literally feel the color draining from my face. Sure, I could handle Erasers, a voice in my head and a seven year old mind reader but this foreign girly stuff I could not deal with and it looked like tonight I would have to.

"Oh man! You guys can pack the food down, I mean, I just saw Ariel finish three tacos and Max, I think you're on your fifth… sorry but I like to observe random things and people". At this she laughed and I noticed Angel regarding Jessie with a look of amusement.

"Hey! I know! I'll do Ariel's nails, Jessie can do Max's nails and Ella can do Nudge's nails" Savannah was already heading over to her bright yellow backpack. Huh, I would have guessed the dark green one was hers she seems to have similar taste as Fang.

"Anna good luck with getting Max to have her nails done" I shot a glare over to Iggy even though he couldn't see it. Fang who was leaning in the doorway went over to sit by Gazzy who was on the couch, and when I looked closer, I could see that he was tinkering with something. Oh no! I do not want them to suspect anything other than our calorie intake.

Just then Mom walked into the living room to get the empty trays the tacos were on. "Amazing that you guys finished all the tacos I think I made more than thirty of them!" She said smiling. "Did anybody want anything more to drink or another taco or something?"

"No thanks Dr. M, I want to get started on those nails because if you look at my nails and the nails of the girls who are joining us on this lovely night, you'd have to agree, even if it's still early because we got a long night a head of us with three more girls to make over and three boys to torture". At this, the girl Jessie started to laugh. The room was slowly being turned into a mini spa by the three girls with Angel and Nudge helping by setting up all the nail polish, makeup and other girly crap. The boys sat on the couch that's now tightly fitted to the wall. Me, I was taking refuge on the chair in the corner away from this soon becoming nightmare.

"So Anna, what movies did you bring this time? I hope you brought that new one I wanted because last time you forgot…twice!" Nudge looked up then at Ella who was pulling nail polish after nail polish out of someone's bag. There were all the colours of the rainbow plus more.

"Umm, I brought I Am Number Four, Soul Surfer and Beastly. Hey you boys! What one do you want to watch first? The first one has a lot of action, the second is based off of a true story, and Beastly is romance, oh and it has this blind guy in it that's amazing and funny, though I'm not sure if he's blind in real life but-". Iggy cut Jessie off and said, "Actually I'm blind; I don't think any of us mentioned it yet, sorry. As for the movie I want I'd like to watch, well listen to, Beastly. It sounds interesting" Jessie stared at the movie in her hands than back up to Iggy. "Your blind? I would never have guessed, Anna did you know this?"

Without even looking up from painting Angels nails pink, Anna replied by saying "Yup! I found it a bit obvious; I mean he did do a bit of stumbling around after the furniture was moved. My question though is; why has the dark haired boy, Nick right? Not said a word? Is he mute or something?" At this she looked up at Fang, who regarded her calmly before speaking his words in a quiet low voice, "No, I'm not mute, and as for the movie, I'd like to watch I Am Number Four. I think Max would agree with me on that, right Max?" He looked at me then waiting for me to reply.

"Sure! I'm all in for the movie with the action; I'm an action movie kind of girl". Fang gave me one of his small smiles that brighten up the room.

"So, it's I Am Number Four or Beastly first. Let's take a vote! Who wants Beastly?" As Ella said this she held up Beastly along with her other raised hand adding to the fact she wanted to watch it. Nudge, Jessie and Iggy who probably only wanted to watch to see who the blind guy was, raised their hands. "Okay, four of us want's to watch it… who wants to watch I Am Number Four?" Gazzy, Fang, Anna and I raised our hands; I think that just then we all came to the same conclusion that Angel did not raise her hand because every pair of eyes turned their attention to the seven year old and tie breaker.

"An-Ariel, pick I Am Number Four it has action and blood!" the Gasman begged.

"But I wanted to watch Soul Surfer, it sounds interesting" Angel voiced back, putting on a very determined look. I shock a panic glance to Fang who shrugged a shoulder. I glared back at him, thanks for the help you twit.

"Angel, we have all night to watch the movies, so how about I Am Number Four?" Is it so hard to just agree on a movie?

"Fine then, I pick I Am Number Four" Max, you do realise you called me by my real name. Jessie didn't seem to notice but Anna is about to-

"Max, you called Ariel Angel, why? Is it her nickname or something?" Anna stared at me her eyes full of curiosity and we all know the saying 'curiosity killed the cat'. I could feel a touch a panic coming.

Ella was the one to cut in, "yup it's a nickname Max gave her it a long time ago. I don't know the story but her appearance matches an angel right?" She shifted over to do Nudges other hand with the sparkly orange nail polish. I didn't even notice the nails were being done. Gazzy happily went over to put the DVD in the player as Fang dimmed the lights out enough but still for the girls to do their nails. Anna, I guess, decided it was my turn to have my nails. She carried over some blues and reds. I narrowed my eyes at her; she did not expect me to have painted nails. Across the room I could see Fang with his fingers casually brushing over his mouth looking at me from the corner of his eye, a sign he was holding in a laugh.

Anna must have noticed this exchange, "you know Nick, I could do your nails next because I have black and it would go lovely with your whole emo/gothic look then you have going on, all you'd need is some eyeliner!" She started to laugh as Fangs face contorted into a slight grimace. "Or I could do pink!" Oh great, this night is not going to be so much fun, note the sarcasm people.

WOW that took a long time for me! How was it? Please read and review!
