As the sun set over the marine park, we flew away from it. Everyone had been fed, Angel had talked to the dolphins, Iggy and Gazzy had ridden the rollercoaster's until they could take no more, Nudge had been on the log flume, the ferris wheel, the rollercoasters , she'd won a giant teddy bear, (that'd we'd had to leave behind, there was no way I was dragging that halfway across the world) and she'd been to the show with the whales. How she managed all of it I had no idea. Fang and I had just relaxed. Well, relaxed as much as two paranoid genetic experiments can. We kept an eye on everyone else, we even had a ride on one of the rollercoasters. It was cool, a bit like flying. But flying is better. Fang even looked bored. We also kept up our ever vigilant watch for Erasers, flyboys or anyone who looked like they wanted to dissect us. All in all it was a good day. That was, until Iggy called me as we flew over the ocean.
"Er Max? Gazzy doesn't look to good."
I quickly stopped in mid air and flew back to where Gazzy and Iggy were hovering. Iggy was right. Gazzy looked green.
"I think I ate too much." He moaned, clutching his stomach.
"I think you went on the rollercoaster's too much as well." Fang said, appearing out of nowhere behind me.
"We'd better land. There's a little island over there," I pointed to the land mass not too far away.
"I'll carry you Gaz," Fang said making me Aw inside my head. Angel giggled. "Just don't puke on me ok?"
Gazzy nodded and we speeded towards the island, touching down about 5 minutes later among the trees bordering the sandy beach.
I put our jackets on the ground and made a sort of bed for Gazzy. "Angel, go get some water, Nudge, go find some firewood." The girls hastily disappeared into the forest to find what I'd asked for.
I stroked Gazzy's fluffy blonde hair. I hated seeing any of them in pain."I'm ok max, really." He said, still trying to be my little trooper.
"Dude, you're green." Iggy laughed. My glare was wasted on him.
"She's glaring." Fang told him, smirking, until I turned my glare on him. I felt Gazzy's forehead. He was getting hot.
"Iggy, maybe you could be helpful? Do you have anything that might help him?"
Iggy quickly rummaged around in his bag. "I got alka seltzer, gaviscon, Tylenol,-"
"Give him the Gaviscon, that's what mom gave me when I was sick." I said, holding out my hand for the medicine.
Angel and Nudge returned and Iggy started a fire. I almost sighed as the warmth of the flames swept through me. I was so nice. After half an hour Gazzy was fast asleep, the medicine seemed to be working a little; the green colour had disappeared from his skin. Nudge and Angel were asleep too, curled up next to each other with Total curled up in the crook of Angels arm. The girls looked so cute when they were sleeping. And Nudges mouth wasn't moving. Iggy was lying next to the fire, looking up at the stars. I could see his eyelids drooping softly. He wouldn't be awake much longer I knew.
A little way a way on the beach sat Fang. He was watching the surroundings while I watched my flock. Quietly I stood up and stretched my legs. Iggy shifted his head slightly registering my movement but he didn't say anything. I walked slowly down to where Fang was sitting, feeling my bare feet sink into the sand. (I'd kicked off my shoes a while ago).
"Nice night huh?" I said, dropping to the ground beside him. As usual, Fang didn't say anything. No surprise there. I leaned back on my elbows and looked at the sky. It was beautiful, the crescent moon hung amid the midnight blue backdrop, dotted with little diamonds that sparkled. The moon gave off an eerie light and was reflected in the waves. It was like a picture. Sighing I lay my head on Fang's shoulder. "Do you think Gazzy'll be alright?" I asked
"He'll be fine. It's Gazzy." Fang said and I smiled. He was right. I closed my eyes for a second and must have drifted off to sleep as the next thing I knew I was in someone's arms as they set me down gently on the ground next to the rest of the flock. I could see day was dawning as the sun peaked over the horizon.
"Fang?" I mumbled sleepily.
"Shh," His deep voice said next to my ear. "Go to sleep Max, get some rest. I'll wake you later."
I nodded sleepily and drifted back off.
