For those of you who are wondering 'what is she talking about?' Breanna reviewed to me and gave me some ideas and I LOVED them! So I'm going with what Breanna wrote. Thanks again!

Once we got going, Iggy flew over next to me. His wings lightly grazed mine on each down-stroke. "Where are we going?" he asked. "Um… we are going…" I thought hard. The Virginia Coast, my voice said. "We're going to the Virginia Coast," I announced to the flock, silently thanking my voice.

"Virginia? What's in Virginia?" Nudge asked. I was wondering the exact same thing. The beach, my voice said. Why would I want to go to the beach? That's the last place I wanna go to, I thought.

"Yoo-hoo. Earth to Max," Gazzy said, interrupting my thoughts. "Sorry," I muttered. "Just talking to the totally rude and uninvited voice."

You still haven't answered my question, voice, I thought. No answer. I shrugged, not surprised. Just trust me, it said. "I'm not convinced," I said out loud. "What are you not convinced about? Huh?" Nudge asked, confused. "Nothing," I told her. "We're going to the beach," I said, avoiding Fang's glare.

We flew east for a couple of hours, and Fang taught us some new flying techniques he learned from the hawks a while back. It felt so good to stretch my wings out and just have the air in my face.

Since night was approaching, we landed and checked into the nearest hotel. Angel used her mind-controlling powers to 'persuade' the hotel manager to give us a free room, complete with free laundry and free room service.

Half an hour later, the little ones had crashed, and Fang, Iggy and me were the only ones awake. "So… what's going on between you and Nudge?" Fang asked Iggy, giving him a playful shove. He turned deep red, and managed to utter a 'nothing' before changing the subject. I raised my eyebrows. "You and Nudge?" I asked. I guess that kind of made sense, in a weird sort of way… I mean, they do spend a lot of time together. I guess I never thought about it… just had my mind on me and Fang. I pushed that thought out of my head.

"Yeah, but… whatever," Iggy muttered. Fang flashed one of his rare smiles. "You totally dig her, don't you, man?" he asked, grinning. Iggy turned a deeper red, if that was even possible. "I'm going to bed," he said, walking out of the room.

Fang watched him leave, his smile slowly fading, leaving an expressionless face. He looked at me. "Why Virginia? And most importantly, why the beach?" he asked. I knew what he was thinking: we had some bad times there. "Well… I thought it would be a good opportunity for the kids," I lied. He gave me a look, and I knew this conversation was far from over.

------------------

The next morning we ordered room service to bring us breakfast. "Mmmm, these sausages are amazing," Nudge said, her mouth full. "Yeah," agreed Angel. An hour later we checked out, and headed for Virginia. When we finally reached our destination, we landed behind some sand dunes, tucking our wings in tightly.

It turned out the beach was pretty crowded. We found a spot next to some children and sat down. "Can I go in the water?" Angel asked. "Of course, sweetie." I replied. Angel, followed by Total, Gazzy, Nudge and Iggy, went to play in the ocean, while me and Fang talked.

"So what now?" he asked. "I don't know," I admitted quietly. I couldn't admit that I didn't have a plan to any of the younger kids, but I could trust anything with Fang.

I skimmed the beach, seeing Gazzy and Angel playing tag in the water, and Nudge and Iggy talking. I looked at all of the different faces here... but a particular one stood out… one with bright red hair… it couldn't be…

Told you there was a cliffy…. if you want more, you have to REVIEW! MWAHAHAHAHAAAA!
