I'm so, so, so, so, so, so, so sorry it's taken me so long to update, but my computer broke or something. I had to take it to Geek Squad, so I'm not going to get it back for like 4 days. My computer wasn't letting me upload anything, so I'm on my parents' computer, trying to work on reports for school and I decided with some of the small amount of free time I had, I would update. So please enjoy this chapter!

Nudge POV

"Uhhnnhhhhh." Ow, what was going on? Why was I laying on a hard surface and why did I smell antiseptic-- oh no. No, I CAN'T be at the school. No, it was just a dream. All I had to do was open my eyes and the smell would be gone, so would the memories of that guy who turned into an eraser.

It's only a dream. I kept repeating to myself.


Iggy POV

Ugh, what is that smell?! I thought to myself as I woke up. Max must be trying to cook. That would probably smell this bad, right?

No, even Max's cooking couldn't smell like this. Even Max's cooking couldn't burn my nose as much as this smell could.

And there's only one place that could smell this bad of this stuff... The School. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks. Last time I had actually been in the school, they had messed with my sight, making me blind forever.

This is going to be fun. I thought to myself sarcastically. Why the hell do they even want us back? Wait, where is everyone else.

"Nudge?" I whispered, hoping a response would come from her.

"Ig? Is that you?" She whispered back. She sounded scared.

"Yeah, you okay?" I asked.

"Yep, I figure this will all go away in a minute, 'cause I know it's just a dream." She said cheerfully.

"Um, Nudge?"

"Yeah?"

"If this was a dream we would both be having the same one, which is virtually impossible. Therefore, neither you, nor I, are dreaming." I stated.

"Iggy? If I open my eyes do you think I'm going to see the school?" She said quietly. I sighed. I didn't want to have to be the one to tell her that she was actually here.

"Yes. I'm almost positive that you will." I answered hesitantly. I was kind of surprised that she hadn't opened her eyes already. I heard her whimper quietly, and assumed that she must have finally opened her eyes.

"Oh, Iggy. It's horrible!" She said softly. Her voice sounded closer that before. Suddenly, I felt her wing brush up against my arm.

"Nudge, are we in the same crate?" I asked.

"Oh, yeah. It's actually pretty big. You know, for, like, a dog crate." She chuckled sadly at her small joke and I was happy that she was able to. I took a deep breath through my nose and quickly regretted it. I winced as the smell burned my nose and eyes, which I had, unfortunately, opened.


Angel POV

I was laying on a fluffy bed and Max was kneeling next to me telling me to wake up because Iggy had cooked breakfast. I smiled and sat up, stretching, only to bump my head on something. I blinked a few times to bring my sight into focus.

Then I realized it. The bed, Max waking me up, Iggy cooking breakfast... it all was a dream. Because I was some place obviously much, much worse than that. I knew, as soon as my eyes focused, that this was no nice house with a comfy bed... no, this was the school.


Well, there you go. I know it's not very long, but I really just wanted to get something posted for you guys. Hopefully, I can post more chapters on this and Disappearing Act (please read that and review it too!) very soon. So please review! It makes me happy and makes me update faster. Can we try for 50 before the next chapter? That would be very cool if we could get there. Well, I really hope you enjoyed the chapter!
