Me: Another chapter? Hm, I think I can deal with that.
Iggy: Merry Christmas everyone!
Me: it's late, but it's also the thought that counts, right?
Iggy: We don't own Maximum Ride, however we do own the Pack and the plot line. Oh, and the Academy, that's ours too.
Me: right, now onwards with the chapter!
Fang grabbed a stick and quickly began sketching a rough square out in the dirt. "Um... what's that?" Ari asked, pointing at it.
They had landed a few hours before and slept. It was morning now and they were in a state park somewhere. "The Academy." Fang said, "we have to come up with a plan of attack."
Nikki snorted. "That looks nothing like the Academy!" She said, taking the stick from him.
"Not like I've been there." Fang pointed out.
"Lucky for you, we have." Shadow said, pulling Ari and Nikki into headlocks. Ari laughed and Nikki swatted him away, blushing a light pink.
"Lived there almost all of our lives. For one, it isn't a square building, it's more like... this." She drew an indistinct shape on the ground, her tongue protruding from the corner of her mouth.
"Don't forget there's the runway to the left." Shadow pointed out.
"And a dock over here." Ari pointed to a spot on the ground.
"I'll draw the island, first." Nikki scratched out a large, bumpy oval around the Academy drawing before adding a rectangle where Shadow pointed and another, smaller one where Air pointed.
"Runway?" Destiny asked.
"Dock?" Fate sounded worried.
"Easy to get back up and deliveries..." Nil said, staring at the drawing intently.
"Can you guys draw a lay out of the inside?" Fang questioned.
"Erm... yeah, I guess. A lot of the rooms won't be labeled though, and it probably won't be right." Nikki said uncertainly.
"Try your best." Fang said.
" 'Kay..." About half an hour later, the three called everyone around.
"Um, we think we have everything right. Well, everything we know anyways." Shadow said. They had done a bigger picture in the dirt, a close-up of the building. Fang noticed that there was the lowest level, several layers below ground, hastily labeled 'the garage' and left alone after that.
"Under no circumstances are we to go into the Garage." Nikki shuddered, pointing at it.
There was silence for a moment, then, "what's in the Garage?" Nil asked, looking at them with icy blue eyes.
"Something even a Nightmare itself has reason to fear." Ari said in an uncharacteristically serious and quiet tone.
There was a moment of silence after that.
"Alright, let's get planning." Fang finally said.
Me: yeah, yeah, I know it's short.
Iggy: she almost kept going but didn't know how.
Me: got that right! Erm, well... reveiw if you love me!
Iggy: *snorts* reveiew if you love me.
Me: damn, that'll get more revwis, won't it... *cries in emo corner*
Iggy: click Fred the Button if you love me.
