"Maximum," Chu nodded towards me politely. Pht, as if. I just sneered at him. I learned when old people are being nice, it's never good unless it's my mom.

"Oh, Maxie, don't worry it's merely a social visit."

"Hmm yeah and I'm part water elephant." His eyes lit up…Did the creep actually believe me? Psycho … "So what do you really want, Chu?" He gestured toward a booth.

"Shall we sit? We are drawing attention." I looked around to see that he was right. The few people there were starting to stare, as our conversation grew louder.

"No," I sneered icily, "We won't be long. Now, as I said before, what do you want?'

"If you insist…I want an army…and you leading them," he whispered mysteriously.

Shivers went down my spine as what he said clicked in my mind…Chumister over here was going to try to take over the world... again. Fang tensed beside me, as my mind reeled with thoughts. Laughing with dry humor, I just stared at our large "friend."

"Are you sure you want to refuse? Things may… happen." With that he looked around at my flock one by one, and finally his eyes landed on my right…Fang. Yeah, like that didn't have a double meaning.

"Thanks, but no thanks. I'm happy just the way I am. But I'll keep your offer in mind…maybe, possibly, most likely not…" With that my flock and I marched out the clear glass door, not knowing how much we really would think about his…offer.

"You're going to regret this!"…yeah right.

*2 hours later*

My black clad feet hit the gray gravel lightly as I descended from flight. I heard the others land behind me and Fang jump up to walk with me. Walking through the revolving fancy hotel door, Nudge did a little spin in awe.

"Wow!" she exclaimed, taking in the luxurious lobby. "This is even fancier than that private jet we took that one time. Do you remember that? Oh, look, a bellhop! Let's ask him to take our bags!"

"Nudge will you shut up?" Gazzy exclaimed, exasperated.

"And anyway Nudge…we don't have bags," I told her lightly.

"Oh right…I forgot, well anyway this place is so fancy! We should really stay at more places like this. That would be-" Before she could really get started Iggy placed a hand over her mouth. I nodded a quiet thank you and dragged Fang away to the front desk.

"Two rooms, please," I asked the older man working the front desk.. "Can we have them connected though?"

"Certainly," He told me happily. "Here are your keys," He handed the key cards to me, with an odd grin on his face…creep. "Room 201 and 202,"he said cheerfully. Sometimes happy people just sicken me. I gave him a quick thank you and scrambled away with the two room keys in hand. Fang was quick to follow behind.

"Ok, Flock! Listen up, we are in room 201 and room 202. Boys in one girls in the other." Everyone agreed, and we all trudged towards the steps off to bed.
