Max's POV
The most amazing thing had just happened. Fang asked me to marry him! We danced and laughed and kissed… and then I woke up from my dream.
Oh that's what I expected to happen, but instead I had slapped myself to make sure I was awake. I was!
"Max! What are you doing?" Fang said wondrously holding my wrist to keep me from slapping myself again.
"Making sure I'm awake!" We both laughed at my stupidity, but really this wouldn't have surprised me if it had been all a dream.
"Well? Do you want to or not?" Fang said raising his eyebrows and smiling my favorite half smile.
"Well duh! Yes! Let's do it… after we finish building that orphanage thing for the kids. That way everyone can watch."
It was obvious Fang didn't want to put it off, but he just nodded and said "Whatever you want!"
"Remember how you wanted a picnic?" he asked leading me to the food. I could barely stop myself from drooling. I only nodded staring at the food.
"Well knock yourself out."
Then, Fang did something very questionable. He seemed to be staring at the bunnies that were still sitting there patiently, then they ran off and can back with a bouquet of flowers.
I was amazed Fang could train them in a day at the most. I glared at him then the bunnies then him again. Finally, I took the flowers breathing in the sweet aroma.
"How'd you do that?" I asked.
"Do what?" He said picking up an orange.
"Train bunnies? And bunnies of all things?" I said laughing.
"Um… I didn't exactly train them… I asked for their help."
"Say what?"
"I talked to them." He said casually as if it was the most normal thing in the world: a dark mysterious Fang talking to bunnies.
"I can talk to them. I figured that out today when I was getting ready for this 'event'. They kind of jumped out of nowhere. I ignored them at first, but then I was about to go and pick those flowers, when they rushed ahead of me and came back with a bunch of em. So I asked them to do all this stuff like jump and run around in a circle and I told one to run into a tree… he did. They can hear me." I still laughed at the thought of Fang talking to bunnies.
"Well, what about other animals? Think you could talk to them, too?"
"I would think so, but I haven't tried."
"Try right now!" I suggested taking a big bite of chicken.
"Uh ok… how?"
I looked around a spotted a nest in one of the trees. "Hm… tell those birds to bring us a worm."
"A worm?"
"Well, I just want to test your 'ability'."
"Well ok then."
Fang seemed to stare intensely at the bird, and soon enough the bird was staring at us, too. Then, it flew away.
"Did it work?"
"I don't know. Either it worked and she's getting us a worm, or she got scared and…"
Before Fang could finish his sentence, we heard a chirping and as we looked up saw the mother bird flying towards us with a worm in her beak.
"You can talk to animals!"
I already had an idea of how this could be of our advantage.
