AN: Sorry for not updating. But well, here it is, gonna try for 3000 words, but I have no way of knowing how many words I'll have because the word count isn't on WordPerfect as far as I've seen
Max's POV
I was the first to awake. I always was. It was still dark though the sun was about to come up. I did a head count before I started anything. I starred out into the ocean, then the sky. It was beautiful there were so many colors as the sun arose.
Everything started out as a dark navy blue dotted with stars. As sun began to climb up the sky the dark blue turned to a majestic light purple. The light purple stayed in the sky for a while then slowly darkened to a pink-ish color. From pink to slightly red. The sun came higher. The red bursted into vivid orange and yellow colors. The sky was lit up with color.
As I turned around and looked to my sides I saw Iggy, Angel and Chase. I smiled at them, they had obviously been watching the sky too. We stayed silent for a while, but Iggy wouldn't let that last.
"Max I love sitting here watching the sun and ever thing but I'm really hungry." I gave him a look.
"Alright fine lets go." I decided.
"Where to?" Angel asked. Honestly I didn't know, but something told me to head to New York.
"New York. But first lets head to the mainland and get some grub, Kay?" That was my decision.
Fang's POV
I awoke to a beautiful sunset full of many colors. Everything started out as a dark navy blue dotted with stars. I felt someone lean against me on my right side, I knew it was Tara. She looked up at me with tired eyes and smiled. As sun began to climb up the sky the dark blue turned to a majestic light purple. The light purple stayed in the sky for a while then slowly darkened to a pink-ish color. From pink to slightly red. The sun came higher. The red bursted into vivid orange and yellow colors. The sky was lit up with color. It made being in every situation we've ever made it through seen worth it to not have given up.
"That was spectacular," Tara beamed at the sunset. I looked at my watch, 10:04am. "I'll go wake everyone up." she trotted off toward the others. Tara knew everything I, or anyone else, thought and wanted done, though she's not a mind reader. I don't know how to explain Tara.
When Nudge was up I told her she was in charge and that I'd be right back. Spreading out my 15 foot span deep black wings, I took a running start flapping and began to fly. Soaring at about 200 feet up I examined the island carefully. Though, as I flew over te other side of the island my eyes saw four figures. The kids from my dream! Nervousness came over me as I realized that the beautiful girl from my dreams could be real. A second thought came to mind also; what if it's just a trick from the School. Rushing back to my Flock, I made the decision to move us to New York.
Landing, I noticed that Tara had gotten everyone ready to leave. Without saying a word we all took off.
"We're going to New York." I told them as we flew.
"Oh, this is going to be so wonderful! We're going to the city of lights, the city of Newborn Stars, the city of adventure!" Nudge went on.
"Nudge our life is a never ending adventure, and not just any adventure an action adventure, with death around each corner. We live a video game, New York is just the next level." I honestly wouldn't believe that this wisdom came from Gazzy.
"Wow dude, that was deep." Those were the only words I could say. He grinned innocently.
"Hopefully I get to blow something or maybe someone up on this level!" Gazzy's innocent grin turned in to a devious one.
We decided to go to McDonald's before heading out, landing in the second closest island, Maui. We walked up to the first register and eyeballed the menu. I could tell their mouths were drooling. I looked at the girl at the register, she had long, curly, auburn hair and sky blue eyes. Her skin was darkened and by her dialogue she was obviously a native.
"How may I help you?" She asked. I looked back at everyone.
"Can I get," I looked down at Tara, she put up the number 3. "Three hash-browns, two sausage biscuits, and a large orange juice." I looked at Nudge and Gazzy.
"Four sausage, egg, and cheese biscuits, and three hash-browns, hotcakes with sausage, and a chocolate milk." Gazzy said with a smile.
"Three Mcskillet burritos, a fruit and maple oatmeal, two orders of hotcakes and two apple juice boxes." Nudge said looking up at the menu.
"Alright and for me four bacon, egg and cheese biscuits, and two orders of hotcakes, three hash-browns, and some milk." Tara looked at me.
"Can I get some cinnamon melts too," She asked the register girl, the lady just nodded. She could barley tell me how much it was, it seemed like she was in awe of how much we could eat. Anyone would be.
"Your total is $47.63."
I gave her my platinum credit card.
We sat at a table near the door and wait for our order to be called.
Max's POV while Fang's group is at McDonald's
We decided to get some breakfast at IHOP, something was pushing me to go to McDonald's, but Iggy, and Angel wanted IHOP, Chase didn't care where we went as long as we got some food. We landed in the Hawaiian island of Maui and began to search and ask around for IHOP. There was a 18 year old guy working the counter. He had short light brown hair, and brown eyes, he seemed bored by his job, I know I would be.
"What do you guys want?" I asked. Iggy was first to respond.
"Three plates of cinn-a-stack pancakes, a smokehouse combo, three funny faces, a breakfast sampler, a bacon and beef cheese burger-" I cut him off.
"Really Iggy? That's not breakfast." I interjected.
"Fine, a bacon and beef egg and cheese cheeseburger, and a tall glass of chocolate milk." He finished.
"Um, double blueberry pancakes, macaroni and cheese, chocolate chip pancakes, french toast, and the silver five, oh and orange juice." Chase said.
"Alright, Angel your up." I said, somewhat rushing her.
"Okay, I want a funny face, macaroni and cheese, two bacon temptation omelets, some chocolate chip pancakes, and two fruit bowls and a chocolate milk." Angel had a satisfied look on her face.
"I'll have four orders of chocolate chip pancakes, french toast, bacon and cheddar stuffed crepes, and a fruit bowl and orange juice." I told the teen at the counter.
Of course with my paranoia we sat by the door. The guy who we ordered from kept looking at my and smiling. Was there something wrong? Did it look like I slept on the ground. I did sleep on the ground. He came to our table and brought us our food, then looked straight at me.
"Enjoy." He had on a smile that made me want to punch him. He seemed to know something that I didn't. Not one of my favorite qualities.
It took everything in me not to sock this guy in his jaw. I ate quick hoping to get out of there faster. This guy had something about him that I didn't like at all.
Fang's POV
Tara and Gazzy were playing hide-and-go seek with three other kids in the play-place and Nudge was talking to a girl and a boy her age. A twinge of sympathy for them. They have a moment to be normal kids, but in a few minutes it will all be gone, a faint memory in the back of their minds.
I was sitting on a bench that was by the play-place watching everyone, letting them get a chance at childhood. Nudge gleamed at me as she walked back my way.
"Fang, Fang, Fang, guess what, guess what, guess what!" Nudge started, jumping up and down excitedly.
"What?"
"I made some friends!" She squealed.
"That's great. You'd better hang out with them before we have to leave though." I tried my best not to ruin her mood. But I had to keep her in reality, unfortunately for all of us.
She just nodded.
I looked for Tara and Gazzy in the play-place, Tara was hiding under the steps that led you up inside of the place. How she got under there, I'll never know. Gazzy was hiding in a part where there was a slide on one side, a path leading up on the other, and a path down to the left of that and the path that go him there. Those were smart places to hide. A place that has a lot of exits, or a place that your 9,999.99% sure no one else can possibly get to.
"Um, excuse me," A girls voice said. I looked up to see a girl about 14 or 13 looking at me with sea green eyes, and curly brown hair that cupped her lightly tanned face perfectly. "Can I sit here?" She asked.
I nodded.
Looking back at Nudge I saw that she and her new friends were getting along perfectly. They were laughing and talking, and on occasion chasing each other around McDonald's. I guess that's normal life for preteens.
"Fang, I just won at hide-and-go-seek and Jack, that nine year old boy over there gave me a prize." Tara said excitedly as only a nine year old girl can.
"What did he give you?" I was curious. Since when do you get prizes for playing hide-and-go-seek?
"This mini Hawaiian snow-globe." She showed me the snow-globe cupped in her hands. It had Hawaiian flowers, tropical fish, King Kamehameha, and hula girls decorated on the glass, and multi colored glitter inside.
"Cool, try not to loose or break it though." Tara smiled sheepishly.
"Can you keep it safe for me while I go play, please."She asked. Unlike most little girls, Tara didn't have to bribe, talk sweetly, or complement to get someone to do something for her.
I took the snow-globe from her and put it in my black backpack. She smiled.
"Thanks Fang," and with that she took off.
"Your sister?"
"Huh?" I looked to the girl sitting beside me.
"Is she your sister?" She asked.
"Um, yeah." It sounded like more of a question.
"She seems very sweet." The girl smiled at me. "So your name is Fang? I've never heard of someone naming their kid Fang." Did she just scoot closer, or was that my imagination? Either way I scooted back.
"Um, yeah I guess." I didn't want to talk to this girl.
"I'm Kyla. I live two streets down from here" She held out her and. On it was a watch, and that gave me a plan. It may have been rude, but it was the most reason able thing.
"Do you know what time it is?" She looked down at her watch, it was white with plastic purple gems super glued on.
"12:42, why?" I pretended to be in a hurry, grabbing Nudge, Gazzy, and Tara's backpacks.
"Krystal, Zephyr, Jamie!" I called their fake names. Gazzy and Tara were quick with their goodbyes to their newfound friends and rushed over. Nudge took awhile longer, I assume they were trying to get each others numbers. I almost ran over there and swooped her up myself. "I'm sorry were supposed to leave 12 minutes ago, and now were going to be late." I told the girl.
"Where are you going?" She asked, by this time she was following us out the door. Crapple jacks, she just won't quit.
"Wedding." I answered, remembering what Nudge said.
"Where? Can I come?" She pressed. Wonderful this ones a grabber.
"No, you can't. We have to go to the airport and fly to California to pick up our Aunt Chandra, she's getting married, and then we have to go to Honolulu to help set up and everything. Our mom said its strictly family, no one else. Sort of a family tradition." Her face fell.
"Can I call you sometime then?" How she was keeping up with us as we basically ran, I'll never know.
"Sure, 887-3485." A fake phone number did the trick. She was out of my life forever after that.
We went through a forest path that lead to the beach. Walking away from everyone we found a place to open out wings and fly.
"Fang, what was that all about back at McDonald's?" Gazzy asked after we've been flying for a few minutes.
"Nothing." It was something to not be discussed.
"C'mon, Fang, tell us." He pressed.
"I don't wanna talk about it."
"Gazzy, it's simple. Fang didn't want to talk to the annoying girl but she was being a grabber." Of course Tara knew what happened, even if he wasn't there.
"What's a grabber?" Gazzy asked.
"It's when someone tries too hard, moves too fast, or latches on to someone else too much and is antsy." Nudge explained.
"I don't think I like grabbers." Gazzy said in disgust.
We laughed at him.
Max's POV
Unfortunately I came to the realization that we couldn't fly the entire way to California. Our only option was a plane. Again. As if the first time wasn't excruciating enough, but now we have to do it again!
"Chase, do you know where the airport is?" I asked him. Chase always seemed to know exactly where things, and sometimes people, where and a few other things that you wouldn't expect from the average 12 year old boy. But then again, none of us are average.
"Yeah, the Kahului airport is three miles East of Kahuluion the land bridge between the West Maui Mountain Range and Haleakala." He answered without having to think about it.
"Cool, then we go there." And that was are next destination.
