A chorus of "We're back!" 's came from the hotel room entrance.
Immediately Max jumped over the couch over to Iggy. "YOU'RE. STILL.DEAD." she growled, pulling him from the collar a few inches down to her level. "You too." she said looking down to a very frightened Gasman.
"No T.V. and no Ipod, no laptop, no bombs, no candy, no . . . "She stopped suddenly to cock her head to the side, sniffing the air.
"Is that . . .?" she asked incredulously, releasing Iggy from her grip and all but running for the grocery bags to grab a box and open it. "Cookies!" she squealed stuffing an entire one in her mouth at once, looking very much like Usagi (Serena) from Sailor Moon.
Both Iggy and Gazzy let out an audible sigh of relief knowing they were off the hook.
For the time being.
MAX'S POV
By the time I was done with my cookie bingeing spree I decided I might as well eat the real dinner brought back for us. Wow. Chinese food and chocolate chip cookies, in one night, what more could I possibly ask for?
Oddly, Iggy kept giving me these weird looks, as if he was afraid I would suddenly decide to bite his head of or something. Weird. Oh, wait, aren't I supposed to be mad at him for something? Damn it, I can't remember what it is., i thought biting into a piece of general thous.
"Hey Max," Nudge said, "while the boys were getting the food me and Angel stopped by the mall and bought you some clothes. Since we only had a little time we kinda had to rush it a bit. We only got you two outfits though" At that moment I remembered why I'd been pissed off at Iggy, and turned to give him a death glare, which he, of course couldn't see. So, I instead opted to give it to Gazzy, but soon felt bad at seeing how terrified the poor kid looked.
"The reason we only got you two is 'cause we're on the run and all and I didn't know if we'd be okay with carrying any more. See, now since I'm older I'm starting to think ahead and be prepared and all that, like you, Iggy, and Fang. I mean, after all I'm only three years younger, I should be able to do whatever you guys can do." she stopped, a disgusted look on her face," Gazzy! Ew, ew, ew!" she yelled, scooting down the table farther from him.
For the first time ever I was thankful of Gazzy's um, talent; who knows how long Nudge would've gone on?
A BIT LATER
Upon seeing the clothes Nudge and Angel got me I decided to go easy on Iggy and Gazzy. I mean Iggy bought me cookies, and Gazzy shut Nudge up, and besides the clothes the girls bought me were even better than the ones they took for bombs.
See, I'm such a nice leader.
But of course, that didn't keep me from giving them a two hour long lecture about stealing others' things, and about making bombs in general.
Once I was done I could tell Gazzy was starting to get a little drowsy. I turned around to find that both Nudge and Angel had already fallen asleep, but there was no Fang in sight. Before I could even open my mouth to ask Iggy informed me that he went out flying a moment ago.
I told Iggy that he could go to sleep if he wanted since there was plenty security around the hotel as it is, and with his super hearing there was no way they could go past him un noticed anyway.
I opened the window, free falling for no more than a second before my wings began beating, taking me higher before sweeping forward to find Fang.
I didn't have to look far though, because there he was, perched on the roof.
"Hey. what are you doing here?" I asked, sitting down beside him.
"Thinking." he said quietly. One word answer. I'm not suprised.
"Oh." I replied. I decided it wasn't best to press him about it. It was non of my business anyway, I wasn't about to pry. Regardless at how much i really wanted to know.
"What to know about what?" he asked. What, is he suddenly a mind reader now too?
I turned to him, my plainly curious eyes giving him his answer.
