(MaxPOV)

"Ok guys, who's idea was it," I looked at them with a mixture of happiness and frustration. Neither of them responded.

"Look guys, we love you, but you need to tell us the truth. Whose idea was it," I looked more sincerely. I sighed a little and looked over at Fang. He was staring into space, looking like he was thinking "what are you doing," and sure enough…

"Max, let me try," he said finally turning to pay attention.

"Be my guest" I responded.

"Tell us, or your both grounded till your mom and I get tired," he said with a devious smile on his face.

"It was Kyle," Dani confessed then snapped her head away from Kyle to avoid his pouting face.

"Dani!!!! U.C.K.C!!" Kyle screamed. Apparently, so says Fang and Dani, the U.C.K.C was the Unwritten Code of Kid Conduct. Basically saying that you don't get grounded, don't kiss other kids, and don't tell on your friend/ sibling to get them in trouble.

"Well you did trip me!" Dani cried back. Which explained the cheek thing.

"Well you stepped on my foot on purpose!!!," Kyle whined, explaining the hurt foot.

" Mommy, Daddy. Hey!!! Quit it. You first!!! Me?!!! Hmph!!!," they said at the same time. That, I must say, is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Even though I couldn't let them know I was enjoying this, I was… well… enjoying it.

" Both of you, to your room, now," Fang said chuckling from the screaming. They both pouted and actually didn't claw each other's eyes out. They went inside as we followed.

" Way to sound like a dad Fang. Never knew you had it in you," I said under my breath. Fang seemed to hear it for the most part because he shunned me quietly, turned his head and blushed a little. Just as the kids were going to their room, the doorbell rang. They were stunned by the loud bell and froze in shock. Even I jumped a little, and Fang, well, he was Fang. I opened the door and found a young highschooler with bright blond hair and a boy, a little older, that looked exactly like her.

" Max!!!!" the girl pounced on me and the boy just stood and smiled.

" Angel? Gazzy? Hi guys long time no see. How's it goin?"

" Great!!!" Angel finally let go and gave Gazzy a chance to have his hugs and handshakes.

"Where's Fang, and…"

"Aunt Angel!!! Uncle Gazzy!!!!" two tiny high-pitched voices exploded from behind me. Dani and Kyle ran through my legs and hugged Ange and Gazzy.

" Hey big fella'. How's it goin," Gazzy picked Kyle up and gave him a noogy. Angel hugged Dani and gave her a light kiss on the cheek.

" It's been sooo long. You've grown Dani!" Angel said.

" Ooo, ooo, ooo and guess what. I can fly!!!" Dani said with excitement so quickly I barely understood her.

" Oh that's wonderful!!! I'll take you for a fly later, ok?" Angel responded, stroking Dani's hair. Dani nodded with a smile. Angel and Gazzy put down the kids. Dani stuck her tongue out at Kyle, but before they could start another fight, Fang stepped in beside me.

"Fang, how are you?!!" Angel hugged him. Fang shook hands with Gazzy through the hard embrace.

"Wow, Angel sure has gotten stronger. Poor Fang, he must be miserable. He never has liked hugs." I thought.

" Oh, I'm sorry Fang!!" Angel said after reading my mind.

" Good, you can still read minds as well as ever," Fang smiled. Afterwards, we let Dani and Kyle off with warnings and let them play in sight this time. They needed some time to visit with Angel and Gazzy. Apparently, Gazzy found a house after living at our old house and graduating high school. He found a job at a restaurant while Angel finished up her classes. She lives the average life of a highschooler: Drama, Tests, and apparently Boyfriends. She's had several make-ups and break-ups that Gazzy had to sit through while he neglected to date much when he was growing up. Until he graduated, I got in touch with Dr. Martinez to mail them money for food water, lights, and everything else. She surprisingly had enough to support them until Gazzy graduated. Now he's on his own, well, I send money every once in a while. Forgot to mention where I work too? Jeez, I'm losing my mind. I joined the school district after we settled here in Maine. We decided to settle here on the east coast after not feeling like flying all the way back and, wanting a little *cough* private time with Fang. Iggy moved in with Ella and Dr. Martinez, starting a business joining CSI in identifying samples, especially fingerprints (not telling them how he got so good at identifying fingerprints). Nudge went back and forth from our house and Ella's, going to college to be in computer tech (duh!). She got a job in computer maintenance in this store in Washington DC ( again not telling how she accomplished these skills). With this job, she helped pay for Angel and Gazzy. Yep, even though we're separated, we still help each other out. That's the flock for you.

" Why are you guys here so early?" Fang said sitting at the kitchen table.

" Just couldn't wait till tomorrow I guess. Even though it's just one day," Gazzy said. I had trouble adjusting to his deeper voice.

"Yea," Angel smiled " We really missed you guys. We need to visit more often." We all nodded our heads.

" Well, where's your stuff guys," Fang said.

" In the car," Gazzy said pointing out the front door.

" Car?! Where'd you get the money," I said.

" I'm not just dead weight," Angel said " I have a job."

" That pays how much?" me and Fang stared at each other. I really was hoping it wasn't something like using mind-control to kill for the mob, KKK, and the Crips.

" Max, relax. I'm not getting in trouble. Turns out Angel works for some kind of crime stopping service. She milked suspect for information that apparently lead to a catch of a huge clan of thieves. The government gave her a ton of money for the capture. Enough to pay the bills, and get a few things that weren't so necessary.

"A Porsche!!!," I yelled.

"What, the government was very generous. It's no big deal. And I promise I didn't mind control to mooch the money off anyone," she put up her hand defensively. No big deal. No big deal!!! Are you kidding me?! Compared to our little SUV, a Porsche was… was…was totally unfair!!! Ok Max, don't get jealous of your little sister.

" Sorry, love you Max. But we saved some of the money and well, got you guys this. We also got the kids a little something," Angel pulled an envelope from her pocket. She handed it to Fang, and I anxiously watched over his shoulder. He slowly opened the mail. Inside was a note. It read: Dear Max and Fang

Thanks for all you do and all you are. We love you guys so much. We recently came into some money and so decided to share it with the family. We already sent this same message to Iggy, Nudge, Ella, and Dr. Martinez. Now I guess it's your turn. Enclosed is a check. Spend some on yourselves and some on Kyle and Dani. Thank you for putting up with us for so long during our adventure.

Love,

Angel and Gasman

Fang reached back into the envelope and pulled out the check. He didn't express much emotion, but cleared his throat and blinked a little. I looked at the check. I almost fell over where I stood. My head even started to feel weird. Six zeros, did you hear me? S-I-X. SIX ZEROS!!!!! Not to mention the number one in front.

" Gaz, Ange, are you completely sure. This is a lot of money. You don't have to give this away. We're doing fine here. Nothing ever happens in Maine anyway," I said, awestruck of the large amount of money.

"Well, we could always rip up the check…" Gaz started.

" Don't be silly Max," Fang cut Gazzy short " Thank you guys sooooo much. We can't say thank you enough. How can we repay you?"

" No need. We are paying you guys back. For the long, sleepless nights you guys went through trying to make sure we were ok. For helping to pay through my high school as well as the bills," Gazzy smiled.

" Thank you guys so much then," I said reaching over the table to hug them both.

" And we managed to get some stuff for them too," Angel said pointing her finger towards where Kyle and Dani were supposed to be playing. I glanced over to the area and saw no one.

" Fang, have you seen the kids?" I walked out of the dining area and looked everywhere for them.

" Nope," he followed me into their room. Angel and Gazzy got up and ran to the staircase. They darted up and found that Dani and Kyle were nowhere to be found. I ran back into the kitchen. Angel met me back there.

" Any luck?" I said, beginning to worry.

" Nope, sorry Max," Angel slid her hand in her pocket and leaned against the wall. But for some reason, she began to fumble with her pocket.

" Gaz, you got the keys?" she yelled up the stairs.

" No, you're the one who drove here. You must have them," I sensed a little fear in his voice. Oh, this is lovely. A several million dollar car's keys were missing. Absolutely wonderful. We all braced when we heard the car crank up.
