Good lord :D I checked my email at around 9:30 last night, and there were 13 emails, all saying [New Review], or new follow or favorite. Every word of your reviews made me smile! The feedback is all very positive, and it's extremely encouraging and motivating to see them. Also, I have more than 1,000 views on my story already! *muscle spasm* YOU ARE THE BEST, M'DEAR FELLOW FAN FICTIONERS. Fictioners. Is that even a word? If it wasn't before, it is now :3 We should all make a dictionary of awesome words we could up with :D We'd freakin' be billionaires together. Diggity. Anywho, I'm posting at 9:30 this morning because I woke up today and felt really dizzy . Gahh. So I'm staying home from school today. I don't like staying home from school, because you miss all the work and then you have to make it up. You know what I mean? I'll shut up now.
Disclaimer: Really? *exasperated sigh* I don't own a series about winged mutants, or a cruise line for all ages. It's sad, I know. (Ermergerd, my dog is making zebra noises in his sleep. Is that bad?)
Chapter 6, Max's POV:
My magic? Yes, it's actually quite simple. My magic is shoving people out of my way and/or being extremely violent. I'm stronger than you think a girl would be. Prejudice people. Anyways, the line for the chocolate was literally like, 100 people. Technically speaking, it wasn't really a line. It was really just a mass of people who were gently shoving people around a little to try and get some chocolate. Fang and I made eye contact, and we nodded. Great minds think alike, dear reader. Ella and Nudge were already in the mass of people, avoiding hands covered in chocolate and trying to make their way farther in. As if pulled in by a force at the exact same moment, Fang and I rushed forward side by side, and damn, did we make some progress.
"Oi!" shouted a man who nearly fell, and slammed his head against someone else's.
"Oops!" I yelled, rolling my eyes. Fang chuckled. We slowed down, and using my arms, I shoved people back by their shoulders, making them turn towards us and making themselves narrower, and our path wider. Put that in slow motion, and Fang and I would look bad-ass. But then again, we already do. That's about right, I thought as people started irritably muttering and crowding back around the tables and counters covered in chocolate.
"Well done!" said Gazzy, appearing behind Fang and I, chocolate covering his face. He must be back for seconds.
"A spiffing job well done," Iggy said in a terrible British accent.
"Why thank you, good sirs!" I said, laughing and grabbing a plate. Fang merely chuckled. Ella and Nudge finally found us, and Nudge went on a rant on how awesome Fang and I looked by parting the crowd, and Ella commenting on how all the people looked hilarious they were pissed at us for shoving them. The rest of them grabbed huge plates, and moved with some difficulty to the different tables. Minutes later, we all emerged from the crowd. "People check?" Fang asked.
"SIR YES SIR." yelled Iggy and Gazzy, straightening up and saluting Fang.
"OMG, yes! They have so much choc-" started Ella and Nudge.
"Got it, Nudge and Ella. We know," I said with a grin. "Yep," I added to answer Fang.
I took a minute to look at everyone's plates. Iggy and Gazzy each had plates with matching chocolates that were warm colors, like fire. Pyro alert! They also had milk chocolate with what looked like an caramel filling. Yum! Nudge and Ella had the girly colored chocolate, light pink and purple. They also had caramel filled chocolate, and white chocolate with what I think was an orange crème filling. Huh. Fang had a plate will all sorts of dark chocolate with a few pieces that had caramel drizzled over it. As for my own plate, I had milk chocolate mostly. Some caramel filled, but mostly raspberry filling. If you haven't tried that, try it. It's like heaven in a square of epic chocolate.
"I guess caramel suits all of our fancies," I commented casually as the 6 of us trudged back downstairs to the eighth floor.
"Mmmphh," Iggy groaned through a mouthful-sorry, faceful-of chocolate. We all stopped outside of Fang's room.
"Wow. We're all already done," said Gazzy. "This is why America is the second fattest country out there. Or are we the first?"
"Thanks, Gazzy. Now I feel really fit," I said sarcastically.
"We could go swimming in the rain," Ella suggested excitedly.
"ZOMG, Ella! We so should! It's so much fun, because the water gets warm when the air's cold," Nudge said.
"Woah. Two things. How did you know that? And how did you only say that much?" Gazzy said in awe. Nudge giggled. "But I'm in for swimming. How 'bout you guys?" Everyone, even I, nodded.
"Meet in 10?" Iggy asked.
"Yup," I said. Ella started whispering in my ear, describing the swim suit she wanted me to wear. It didn't sound skimpy, so I nodded. "Fine."
Fang POV:
Swimming. In rain? Nudge would pay. And so would everyone else, especially Max. I haven't forgotten when she pushed me into the pool yesterday. I changed into a pair of black swimming shorts with a white and grey skull on the side pocket. I grabbed my-you guessed it-black towel. I hear Ella yipping in the room next to me.
"Max, please keep it on. Your other bathing suit is so boring!"
"Ella," Max groaned.
I chuckled. Max was so stubborn, but I guess Ella had some trick, because Max muttered something that sounded like "Fine" and said nothing else. I shook my head, and snapped open the door, and stepped into the hallway. Moments later, Max and Ella appeared. Ella was wearing a pink bikini with white flowers. God knows what kind of flower. Not me. Max was wearing a simple black bikini, with a silver black circle connecting the top halfway. Okay, chill. I'm not checking either of them out. If I didn't describe their bathing suits, I'd feel like a crappy author. You're welcome. Without a word, the three of us set off quickly to the 12th floor. I think it's called the Promenade Deck, I'm not sure. None of us talked, but it was a comfortable silence. We heard Iggy, Gazzy, and Nudge from an elevator. They're the loud bunch, huh?
"C'mon!" Iggy yelled, sprinting towards the automatic doors. Unfortunate for him, the doors didn't open quite fast enough. He smacked into the glass and stumbled backwards. He glared at all of us as we laughed. Max quickly turned her laugh into a cough.
"Sorry. I think I'm getting a cold," Max coughed out, shaking in silent laughter.
"Oh, sure," Iggy huffed angrily. Drama queen. The doors squeakily slid open, and we all ran outside much to Iggy's envy. He hobbled after us, rubbing his forehead. We snapped up an umbrella, and placed our towels on a relatively dry table. Before anyone could do anything, I pushed in 4 of them. Who was the fifth? Max. I scooped her up, and threw her into the pool. She didn't yell or anything, just smirked at me as she went under the water's surface with a look that said: Game on.
Success! I think this was my favorite chapter to write so far :3 Maybe because it's kind of raining outside currently, so I could relate to this more? I durnur. Anyways, review. I'm not even going to give a limit. Just review? Anyways, if you read the top of this chapter, I mentioned a dictionary that we should make of words we all created. If you have one of your own, post in the comments! :D I'll make a chapter later on that isn't really a chapter, I'll just post some awesome words that people came up with. That'll be in a few more chapters so we can get a lot to make a page worth, if not more.
I'm not even kidding. This is going to go down.
A presto,
Ezio.
