Hello, again.

Yup, once again, you guys suprised me.

I wasn't really planning on updating AGAIN for this story, for a couple of weeks (remember, finals are coming for me soon...BLAH!), but I got what I wanted.

I love all of your reviews, and this chapter is dedicated to my latest reviewers: V-ball runner, 4everreadin', BaNaNaWaffles, Pocks, Moonfrost-InuKag-7768, and -xXx 'M' NaMeS RoCk xXx-.

Thanx for all your support, and BaNanaWaffles, it's true- Max can't handle bambi eyes, and neither can I (and I might take that Fang falls out of the tree thing).

I'm still weighing the idea of making Max find out about the boy's wingness (I made up a new word!), but again, I'm thinkin' 'bout it.

I'll try to get some new story samples up, but I'll definitely keep updating this one, wether it wins in the polls or not. The next one I'm going to be writing is Trials And Errors, and then I'll update Till Death Do Us Part, and then All's Fair In Love And War.

Onward with the story!!!

Chapter 3: Darts Suck

I looked around, but the coax was clear.

But I still had a paranoid feeling, that I was being watched.

And little did I know, I was right.

In both a good, and a very bad way.

So there I was, sleeping peacefully in a tree in New York, when I woke up to a bellowing voice.

"Get out of the tree! According to law, you are not allowed to climb these trees!"

I cracked my eyes open slightly, and saw a police officer staring angirly up at us.

"Oh, go milk a duck," I muttered. (A.N. I've always wanted someone in my stories to say that! LOL!)

"Excuse me, Miss? Come down at once!"

I gently jumped down from the tree, landing in a crouch.

As I stood up, I noticed another police officer standing and yelling up into the tree across from us.

Who could possibly be sleeping up there? I thought.

But my thoughts were answered as someone fell out with a THUMP!

Can you guess who it was?


FPOV

I was sleeping up in a tree (very peacefully, might I add) somewhere smack dab in the middle of new York, until I was woken up by a very loud, very annoying voice.

"By law, you are not permitted to climb these trees! Come down at once!"

I was so suprised by the voice, that I actually fell out of the tree.

Yes, everyone. I, Fang, did not jump out of the tree, but actually fell out of it.

Call it karma, I guess.

I shouldn't have been so picky of which tree to sleep in.

I looked past the yelling police officer in front of me, and saw a familiar face.

Can you guess who?

Max.

Rolling in the grass, laughing.

At me, probably.

At least she was enjoying herself, until something strange, and very unexpected happened.

The two so called "police officers" morphed into Erasers.

Just our luck, right?

"Iggy! Gaz! Get up! Fight time!" I scalled into the tree.

"Wha?" Iggy asked, rubbing his sightless eyes.

"Erasers!"

After Iggy and the Gasman jumped out of the tree, I saw Erasers just pouring into the park.

Great.


MPOV

Currently, I was rolling in the grass, laughing until I cried.

Mr. Dark and Mysterious fell out of the tree.

My laughing fit was broken as I watched the police officer in front of me morph into an Eraser.

"You guys always ruin my fun, don't you?" I jumped up.

"Angel! Nudge! Eraser time!"

That got them moving.

Great.

Not only were Erasers pouring into the park, but we also had to protect three normal kids.

But to my suprise, the three slipped into a fighting stance.

"Ready, girls?" I asked.

"Yup!"

And the fight began.

We punched left and right, while Angel used her mind control to knock the sorry things unconscious.

The three boys were putting up quite the fight, to my suprise.

They didn't look scared or firghtened or curious.

They looked slightly annoyed, but like this was an every day experience.

Who were these guys?

I saw the Erasers swarming around the boys, so we ran to help.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I'll explain later!"

I shrugged my shoulders, and fought back-to-back with the dark guy.


After what seemed like forever, we finely got rid of the last Eraser.

"Report!" I yelled.

"I'm good." Angel looked perfect, not a scratch on her.

"I'm okay," Nudge answered, wiping blood from her cheek.

"So...explain." I turned toward the boys in front of me.

"How about this for an explanation?" Mr. Mysterious smirked.

I was just about to comment about nothing happening, when all three of the boys unfolded their wings.

Yes, wings.

"You guys are...human-avian hybrids..like us?" I mumbled.

"Yup. We were trying to tell you that, but you kind of slammed the door in our faces, Max." the blue-eyed one smiled.

"How do you know my name?" I raised an eyebrow.

"I heard the litle blond one-Angel, I think- say it." he explained.

"Okay. What's your names?" Nudge piped up.

"I'm Fang. This is Iggy, and that's the Gasman." The man in black pointed.

"Okay. I'm Max, and that's Angel. But I guess you already know that. This is Nudge. Oh, and the dog in the tree is Total. He can talk." I explained.

"Yes. The "dog" would like to get down, now." Total huffed.

Angel climbed up and grabbed him.

"So...how old are you guys?" I asked.

"I'm 14 and so is Iggy. Gazzy is 8." Fang answered.

"Ok. I'm 14, Nudge is 11, and Angel is 6." I stated.

"Angel is my sister." I smiled.

"Iggy is my brother." Fang smirked.

"I'm blind." Iggy mumbled.

"How?" Nudge gasped.

"Blame the whitecoats."

We stood there, explaining everything to each other, for what semed like forever.


The talking finally ended, and we all stood there in an akward silence.

"I'm hungry!" Angel broke the silence.

"Well, let's get something to eat!" I smiled.

We began to walk away, but the boys just stood there.

"What are you waiting for, an invitation?" I yelled over my shoulder.

I smiled to myself as I heard the sound of quick footseteps behind me.

"We don't have money, but we have a credit card." Fang and I said in unison.

"Okay...who's are we going to use?" Iggy asked.

"Mine." Once again, in unison.

"We'll use mine." I confirmed.

"No, it's okay, I insist." Fang glared.

"Listen, I don't know you, and I don't really want to. If you want to waste your money, go ahead." I said through gritted teeth.

"Fine. We'll use my credit card." Fang smirked.


After getting something to eat, we realized that we were all super tired, and that it was already getting dark.

"Okay, let's vote. Dirt, tree, or hotel?" I asked.

Everyone agreed on a hotel, so we flew to the nearest one we saw.

As we finally reached the Reception Desk, we asked for separate rooms.

"Sorry. There's only three rooms, each complete with 1 King-sized bed." The Manager said, bored.

"Okay. we'll take them." I handed her my credit card, before Fang could get his out.

After she gave us directions to the rooms, 510, 511, and 512, we were about to vote on who went with who.

But before we got the chance to, Gazzy and Iggy took one key, and Nudge and Angel took another.

Leaving two people, and one room.

Me...and Fang.

"Little rats." I mumbled.

"Hmm?" Fang was smirking.

"Wipe that smirk off your face, or I'll wipe it off for you." I threatened.

His smile faded, and he took the key and unlocked the door.

I jumped onto the bed.

"I'm taking a shower first." I called.

"Got it."


After I finished my shower, I walked out with a brush and sat on the bed.

"Go ahead." I told him.

After he walked on quietly, I laid down and watched T.V.

He walked out in 10 minutes, and laid on the other side of the bed, with a grin still plastered on his face.

"Listen, if you try anything, you'll be sleeping on the ground," I warned.


The next day came all too quickly.

"Tell the sun to go away." I mumbled.

Wherever I was, I was warm.

Until I opened my eyes, and noticed that my face was extremely close to Fang's.

And we staring down at me, still smiling.

"Don't say a word." I jabbed my finger at him.

He put his hands up in a "surrender" motion.


After we managed to get everyone up and ready, we checked out.

"What should we do?" I asked everyone.

"Go shopping!" Nudge cried out.

Before I could agree, I was being dragged along to go shopping.

Someone shoot me now.

And I got my wish.

As we were walking by some deserted park, all six of us were hit by darts.

Darts suck.

We all watched in horror as a bunch of Erasers and Flyboys loaded us into a white van.

But before I was knocked out by the dart, I saw two familiar people in front of me.

"Hello, Maximum."

"Hello, sweetheart."


HA HA!!!

I managed to stop at yet another cliffhanger.

No one kill me, or else...you won't get any more chapters.

Anyone and everyone who get who one or both of the people are, will get honorably mentioned in the next chapter, and...

A Cyber COOKIE!!!

Fresh out of my cyber oven, complete with cyber choclate chips, and cyber milk.

Yum, right?

LOL.

And BaNaNaWaffles, I decided to take your "Fang falls out of the tree because of his pickiness" thing. Thanks. It was a nice touch.

Well, I want 15-20 reviews until my next chapter.

So...guess who the people are in reviews.

Hint: There IS sarcasm in the last person's comment.

LOL
