"Angel doesn't like me best" Max protested, watching as Fang walked up and down the stairs to get what the little girl wanted.

"Fang, go to bed" I pushed him towards his room when he walked past me for the millionth time.

"Fine," he kissed my forehead then Max's. "Night" he trudged into his room, dragging his feet on the wood flooring.

"Good night Max" I gave her a hug and disappeared into my room.

"Happy Birthday Baby" I kissed Gasman's forehead as he slept, and sat down next to him.

"…what?" he grumbled; still half asleep.

"Happy 10th Birthday Gazzy" I moved his hair from his face.

"Yeah, yeah, okay" he muttered, burying his face in his pillow.

"Gasman, get off your butt!" Nudge yelled from the doorway.

"It's my birthday, I want to sleep in" he groaned.

"Iggy! Get up!" I kicked the underneath of the top bunk.

"Why?" Iggy groaned.

"You're making Gasman whatever he wants for breakfast. Get up" I kicked the bunk again.

"So if I wanted a chocolate bar for breakfast, I could get one?" Gazzy asked curiously, opening one eye.

"A chocolate bar and some toast, sure" I looked at him and ruffled his hair.

"Iggy!" Gasman pounded on the bunk. "Get up! I want breakfast!" he shouted.

"Okay, okay, I'm up!" Iggy shouted, as he jumped off the top bunk and onto the ground.

"Thank you" I smiled, as I walked out of the room and down the stairs to the kitchen.

After singing "Happy Birthday" to Gasman we all handed him our presents, and then he got to sit on the couch all day and play video games with Iggy and Fang.

"Alex! C'mon! You have to get ready!" Nudge shouted from the bathroom.

"Get ready for what?" I shouted back, hoping she didn't mean what I thought she meant.

"The Club!" Max answered this time, and pulled me into the bathroom.

"I don't have a dress to wear" I said dully, hoping that would keep me from going.

"Then wear this one" Nudge held up a dark blue cocktail dress, with a sweetheart neckline and a silver lining on the edge.

"I don't think I want to go anymore, Nudge" I stated truthfully.

"You're still going, even if we have to drag you by your wings" Max pulled out a pair of silver heels and thrust them into my hand.

"…god" I muttered, and slipped the dress over my head, and tied the shoes around my ankles. The dress was skin tight; not that it mattered, us Avian-Human hybrids had perfectly shaped forms.

"You look amazing" Max smiled at me.

"So do you" I said, and brushed my hair back into the same ponytail Max was wearing.

"Take it out" nudge glared at me.

"Take what out?" I asked, looking at her.

"You're hair. It's supposed to be down" Nudge yanked out my hair tie.

My hair fell in warm curls down my neck and shoulders. It felt odd to have it brush the skin of my back, it covered my wings. "Fine" I grunted, and moved out of the bathroom.

"Wait! You need eyeliner!" Nudge shouted, and pulled me back.
