Hey, I am so, so sorry that I posted my 2nd chapter week and weeks after my 1st chapter went up. I didn't really have much time to write because I was up to my shoulders in homework. I am being extra kind and hopefully going to get this chapter in a couple of days or today if I write enough. But be warned, I am kind of ill at the moment and I really don't feel too good so this chapter might suck... and yeah, that I have posted this chapter weeks and weeks after my 2nd and I am disappointed in myself for holding this story up. It is the half-term now so I am going to try to write more and finish this chapter.

Also, in the reviews it would be so helpful if you guys left a little story idea, I will read them all and choose the best one that will link in with my plot. :)

Thanks, Rockena6 –x Enjoy...

"Nudge, wake up honey," Everyone else was awake already but of course, Nudge was having a lie in. "Nudge? Please just wake up!" I was nudging her quite violently, but she was being a lazy so and so like she is. Nudge is rather strange if you think about it. At night, she wants to stay up and she doesn't want to go to sleep. But, when it comes to waking Nudge, her dreams don't want to change the channel.

"FIRE!!" Iggy shouted around where Nudge's ear was. Nudge almost jumped up. With her head bash on Iggy's chin, making Nudge cry out in agony and Iggy mutter a few extra-colourful words and hold his jaw tightly.

"Oi! Cummon guys! Please behave. Iggy, that was really unnecessary and Nudge, you really shouldn't sleep in,"

"What! Unnecessary?! She needed to wake up didn't she?" Iggy complained. He was looking in my direction and I find that a little freaky how a blind kid does that...

"Just drop it, Ig. It's over now. 'Kay, we really gotta get on our way to Washington now. So this is your last chance to go to the loo or anything 'cause, we are looking at, at least, a five hour flight ahead of us." I looked around at my flock and saw Total trot off to a corner of the cave and lift his hind leg. I turned away to give him some privacy.

Angel giggled slightly.

Just because I actually let people have their privacy, doesn't mean that you shouldn't. Get out of my head. And do it now!

I gave a serious look at Angle and I felt here leave my head.

"All ready to go now? Total?" I asked. Total was coming back towards us.

"Yes, very much ready now."

I stepped to the edge of the cave entrance and unfolded my wings. I jumped, knowing the rest of the Flock were doing the same thing that I was doing. Smiling. Only smiling because I knew that we were finally going travelling again. I pushed myself upwards with big down stroke which kind of hurt. It proves that I need to be flying more if that hurt, I mean, that was nothing compared to my warp speed. Ahh… the joys of flying.

I tilted my left wing ever so slightly downwards to catch a breeze that glided me for a moment.

I looked back at the Flock and they were positioned in our usual 'V' shape that we fly in. And yes, of course, I am the head point of the 'V'. Why's that? You ask, well my friends, it is simple because I am the leader of the Flock; I look after the Flock and it up to me to plan everything and keep everything in order. …She says with a smug smile.

I felt a shadow cast over me and I looked up.

There were possibly about three or four Golden Eagles. And wow, they are stunning. They were flying more in an east-ish direction compared to us. They changed their flight path and were flying in a line with us.

"LOOKS LIKE WE'VE GOT COMPANY!" I yelled to the rest of the flock. They all either 'whooped' with joy or they punched the air. Most of them did both, but Fang. He just gave his signature smile and looked me straight in the eye. He swooped down so he was next to me.

"So they are joining us on our way to Washington?"

"Well, I guess so. I don't know what they are planning to do when we have to walk on the ground." I said.

"Maybe they can hitch a ride on our shoulders. We would get odd looks from people who are passing by though." Fang replied.

"Hum." And I smiled again. "You don't usually talk this much, you know. Who are you and what have you done with the real Fang?" I joked. I would always be able to tell if Fang had been replaced. Just like he had been able to tell when I was replaced my Max II. Bitch .Oh..Wait. Damn! I basically just called myself a bitch 'cause she is exactly like me. Except I don't offer to cook because I can just burn water, and I Don't offer to fix Nudge's hair in the mornings. No, Na-hah.

I shivered at the memory of being tied up with duck-tape being place over my mouth in the motel room a few months back.

"Max? You alright, Max?"

"Yeah… yeah I'm cool. Just thinking about Max II. Shouldn't have brought it up really, but everything links together doesn't it? I can't just have one good memory and then that's it. It always has to be ruined in some way like Erasers or Flyboys or one of Gazzy's and Iggy's stink bombs. Or when I keep running away." For my own purpose I happened to mumble the last part.

"Hum." Was all he said. I guess he didn't hear the bit I didn't want him to hear. But that's good right? I don't know. Oh man.

OKAY! OMG I HAVE FINISHED THIS CHAPTER! WOOOOOOOOP! :D:D I'm happy.. lol. Damn I got side tracked again. I really, REALLY need to do this essay! I keep getting distracted! Grr.. ;/ oh well. I might actually start on my 4th chapter.

Please read these boring author's notes and please, please leave a constructive review that I can take into account.
