"Max is wearing a bikini!?" gasped Nudge
"Don't worry. You look awesome Max!" yelled Angel who was on Iggy's back in the pool.
Sam whistled making me blush harder and making everyone laugh harder as well. I sighed and took off my shorts before sitting on the edge of the pool letting my feet hang in the water.
"Oh come on Max!" coached Nudge "Were going to play chicken! And Marco Polo! And that game with shark! Ohohoh! And red rover and monkey in the middle too!" she went on until Gazzy yelled with frustration and dunked her head in the pool.
I laughed "We can't do ALL of that Nudge. But well play a few games. I'm just gonna get used to the water a little."
I watched as Iggy threw angel up in the air and Nudge and Gazzy had a splashing war. Then Iggy went over to stand by Fang who was watching from the far corner and they started talking about who knows what. I realized that Angel and Sam had disappeared and looked around frantically.
"Sam! Angel! Where'd you two go?" I shouted and I heard a voice in my mind…well 2…
Hey Max!
Don't worry mom were breathing underwater
Yeah it's more fun now that Sam can do it too!
OK just don't stay down there too long ok? Where are you anyways?
Were right below you mom.
Sure enough, I looked down and saw Sam and Angel sitting on the bottom of the pool. They waved and then swam off to the deep end. I sighed and stood up. I pushed my hair behind my ear and then the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. I stun around. Fang was standing behind me looking way too innocent.
"Don't you dare!" I said and he smiled before jumping at me and making the both of us fly into the pool. I broke the surface and took a gasp of air before whirling around wildly trying to find the traitor.
"Wow Max. You look wet. What happened?" asked a grinning Fang.
"UH!!" I exclaimed frustrated and lunged at him. We fought and the flock laughed.
"Max can we play a game now?" asked Nudge after Iggy had successfully pulled me away from attacking Fang.
"CHICKEN!!" shouted Gazzy and there were yays from the others
"Fine. Pick your teams guys. And make it fair!" I said
In the end, we had three teams. Me and Sam, Iggy and Gazzy, and Fang and Nudge. Because we had an odd amount of people, Angel volunteered to referee first and we switched off every.
Let me just say…playing chicken is NOT something I would include as one of my many skills. I only won 1 game! And that was only because I got frustrated and used my new power to knock out Fangs feet from under him which sent Fang and Gazzy sprawling into the water.
We played just about every game you can think of that is possible to play in the water. After a very violent splashing war between me, fang and Iggy, I glanced up at the clock and gasped in surprise.
"Guys! Out of the pool!" I shouted and they all stopped to look at me.
"Ahhhh come on Max! Just 10 more minutes? PLEEEEASE!" begged Gazzy but I shook my head and herded the flock upstairs.
Despite their denials, I knew that the younger kids were absolutely dead on their feet because Angel didn't even make it out of the elevator before she fell asleep in Fang's arms and Gazzy's head didn't even hit the pillow before he dozed off. Sam and Iggy went off to bed obediently waving goodnight.
Nudge on the other hand took a little more persuading.
"Seriously Max. If you want to be able to hang upside down like monkeys do, then you have to learn how to play chess! Don't ask me why but that's what you have to do." Nudge explained as I tried to push her out of my room.
"Nudge just go to bed ok? We can talk about this in the morning."
"Actually Max," she said turning around. I sighed and put my hands on my hips waiting. "I changed my mind. You don't really NEED to know how to hang upside down like a monkey. What you REALLY need is to learn how to SLEEP hanging upside down like a monkey. That would be so much better!"
"Let me guess. I need to learn how to play checkers now?" I said pushing her out the door and shutting it.
There were a few knocks on the door. I heard Fang snicker from the other side of the room. I sighed and opened the door. "No. Actually, you need to learn to play solitaire." Said a waiting Nudge.
"Goodnight Nudge!" I said starting to shut the door again.
"But-" she started but I closed the door in her face. I heard her muttering something like "never learn" and "no monkey skills".
I sighed in relief and turned around. "I swear, after I save the world and were safe and sound, that girl is going straight into counseling."
Fang laughed and continued to lay out a few blankets on the floor. He completed his makeshift bed with a pillow and then walked into the bathroom. I heard the shower start up.
I changed into a pair of dark blue pajama pants and a white tank and then laid down on the makeshift bed on the floor that Fang had set up. I closed my eyes waited for sleep to come.
I was woken from my sleep some time and opened my eyes to find myself not on the ground. "Sheesh Max. Lay off the fast food." Teased Fang.
"Please put me down." I said.
"Well you were sleeping on my bed." He said and then through my lightly onto the queen sized bed in the middle of our hotel room.
I sat up "You know you were supposed to sleep on the bed right?"
"Get over it Max. Goodnight." He said lying down on the floor.
"Men." I muttered as I got comfortable. I heard a light chuckle from the floor before sleep overtook me once more.
Omg I am SOOOOOO sorry this is so late! I thought I'd have more time cause its summer but turns out that I don't. I'm sorry! I'll try hard to update again soon!!
