A/N : I made this chapter extra long to make up for the late Chapter 8 and also because it was really short. Wanted to finish this yesterday but it's hard to write because we kept going out x.x Anyway , hope you like it (:

Fang POV

"Everybody know what to do?" Angel asked. Iggy smirked and nodded. Gazzy burst out laughing and nodded his head too. Nudge smiled and nodded her head.

"Do we really have to do this?" I asked Angel.

"If you want her to regain her memory then yes."

I sighed and nodded my head.

"Quick! She's coming!" Angel hissed as she ran to hide.

"Action!" she hissed just as Max stepped out the door.

Iggy punched me hard in the gut. Really hard. Then he kicked my shin , making me fall over in pain. He continued punching and kicking me. He was probably using this chance to get back at me for all the times I won him in mock fights.

"Max help! Iggy's beating me up!" I shouted. This part of the plan was the worst part ever. Not only do I have to get beat up , I have to beg for help too. Ugh , how humiliating.

"Oh , come on! He's blind! You could take him down even with one hand tied behind your back!" she retorted , rolling her eyes.

Iggy whacked me in the back of my head and I fell on my knees and lay down with my face in the ground. I didn't move and pretended to be unconscious.

I heard footsteps and then Max rolled me over. I expected her to kiss me just like she had on the beach after Ari had almost killed me. Instead , she started slapping me.

I snapped my eyes open.

"What the heck?! Why are you slapping me?!" I demanded.

"To make you wake up , duh ," Max replied.

Ugh. This plan is not going well at all.

Max POV

So I walked out of the house to get some air and I see Iggy beating Fang up. Probably another one of the mock fights they love to play. I was about to walk away when I heard Fang shout.

"Max help! Iggy's beating me up!"

What the heck?! Am I hallucinating or what? Since when could Iggy beat the crap out of Fang? And secondly , Fang is asking me for help?! No wait , correction , he's begging me to help?!

"Oh , come on! He's blind! You could take him down even with one hand tied behind your back!" I rolled my eyes. I wheeled around to walk away but then I heard a sickening thud.

I turned around to find that Fang had fallen flat on his face. I would have burst out laughing , but he wasn't moving.

I quickly ran over and rolled him over. He was unconscious. Then something weird happened. I quickly started slapping Fang on his face.

"What the heck?! Why are you slapping me?!" he shouted.

"To make you wake up , duh ," I replied. I got up and went to my room and locked the door. I flung myself onto the bed and buried my face in my pillow.

What the heck am I thinking?! When I saw Fang unconscious , I had this sudden urge to kiss him. It was weird. I covered up my feelings by slapping him.

Control yourself Max I thought.

Angel POV

The earlier part of the plan was a total backfire but I'm sure this next part will work!

When we were living in Virginia with Anne , Max was acting really weird. Her thoughts were weird too. There was once I picked up that she was upset because Fang had kissed some redheaded girl. She was really angry and jealous. So I'm sure this next part of the plan will work!

Nudge walked into my room scratching her scalp.

"Angel! This wig is making my head itch! Can I pleeease take it off? Pleeeeeeease?"

"No. It will only work if there is a redhead. Now let me do your make up so Max won't recognise it's you."

Nudge sighed but sat down on the only chair in my room. I went to her room and brought over all her make up. I got her to apply powder all over her body so she would look fairer. I applied foundation and some blue eye shadow for her. She did the rest. Then I curled her hair with the curling iron. When we were done , she looked quite different. I made her put on some blue contact lenses as well.

I pushed her out of the room and into the corridor where Fang , Iggy and Gazzy were waiting. When she stepped out , Gazzy laughed his head off. Fang even managed to smile a little bit.

"What's going on?!" Iggy demanded. "Hello? Blind person here. Fill me in please."

"N-n-nothing," Gazzy said before bursting into uncontrollable laughter again.

I sent a mental image of what Nudge looked like to Iggy. He burst out laughing as well.

She doesn't look that bad I thought to Iggy and Gazzy.

Yes she does They both thought back simultaneously.

"Okay guys , focus. Back to the plan," I said , hoping to get them to listen.

Iggy and Gazzy both stopped laughing. They would snicker occasionally but at least it was better than laughing aloud.

I went over the plan with Nudge and Fang again. When they were both clear on what to do , I had Gazzy and Iggy get Max out of her room.

Max POV

"Oh shoot , Gazzy! We just ruined Max's new Mickey Mouse alarm clock! We're so dead. Quick , hide it so she won't find out!"

What?! Not again. Ugh , they were dead meat.

"Iggy! Gazzy!" I screeched and ran out of the room. I skidded to a halt and gasped , staring at the scene before me.

A redhead was leaning against the wall of the corridor and Fang had either hands on both sides of her head. He was leaning in , about to kiss her.

Just as their lips were about to meet , the redhead started laughing. Her laugh was all too familiar. I had heard it at least a thousand times.

Nudge!

I looked at the redhead closely and true enough , Nudge's facial features were there. They were just covered up slightly by make up.

"Nudge?" I asked. She turned and looked at me.

"What the heck?! What are you guys doing?!" I asked.

"Uh ...." Nudge stuttered.

"Never mind. Where's Gazzy and Iggy?"

"I don't know," Fang and Nudge answered at the same time. I nodded my head and turned back and walked into my room , forgetting about my alarm clock.

I slammed the door and walked over to the window. I opened it and jumped out , unfurling my wings as I did so. I felt myself rise into the air. I didn't need to think about flying anymore , it was instinctive.

I kept going until I spotted a cave. I landed at the entrance to the cave and kicked off my shoes. I lay down on the rocky cave floor and thought about what had just happened.

2 main questions. First , why was Nudge dressed up like that? She looked like a freak. Secondly , what the heck was Fang trying to do?! She's only ten! Okay the Flock keeps saying she's thirteen but whatever.

There was also one more question I refused to answer. Why did I feel like my heart was crumbling into a million pieces when I saw Fang about to kiss her?

Thanks for reading (:
Review please :D
