The drive to Dr. Martinez's was really short.
The flock kept me busy and distracted from the pain in my leg.
On top of that, I knew it would be a while before Fang decided his debt was paid. I could have a lot of fun during that time.
My mind swirled with ideas until I decided on the perfect one.
"Dr. Martinez…could we please pick up a movie on the way to the house please. I'd love to have an-I'm still-alive sleepover with Ella and the flock tonight. Could you please somehow let us, even if it's a school night?" I used the guilt trip to make sure she said yes.
I needed this plan to work out perfectly.
"Of course we could, Fang! Plus, it's not even a school night! This is actually working out great! I'm sure Ella would love that! She hasn't ever met you all, and she is really looking forward to meeting Max again," replied Dr. Martinez.
"Great and one more thing, I would appreciate it if Ella would choose the movie, because my flock and I aren't very experienced with good movies…with the exception of Max, she reads all the reviews…but she'll get a horror movie." I answered innocently.
Fang played along, feeling really guilty for doing all that.
I don't think he realized that he was doing just what I wanted him to for an evil plan; he just thought I was really happy to be alive.
I smiled at her from the front seat of the van, and lay back and schemed for the rest of the ride.
Soon enough, we pulled up at a blockbuster and Dr. Martinez told us to wait in the car.
While walking away, she whipped out her cell phone, to call Ella presumably.
The car was silent much to my surprise while she was gone, and looking to the back, I saw the whole flock with the exception of Fang, asleep.
"Shh…" he said pointing.
I smiled calmly and turned around and watched Dr. Martinez run through the store and then run out of the store as fast as she could.
When she saw the kids sleeping, she sighed and quietly opened the door.
"Sorry Fang, I tried to get Ella to choose a comedy or something else, but she said that none of you had seen her favorite movie…and she just wouldn't budge," she winked at me and started the engine.
" Its alright, I think Max told her once, that she would love to here all about the movie The Titanic…I think she said it was. Isn't that the movie?" I said.
Dr. Martinez narrowed her eyes at me suspiciously for a minute, but then her expression relaxed and the horrible minute passed.
I couldn't have anyone catching on that the pranks were still going on until they actually started again.
The ride from the store to the house felt longer than the ride from the hospital, but eventually, we reached the familiar house. I wanted to run in and hug Ella, but I had to make sure she knew about the switch.
"Dr. Martinez…does Ella know about…" I trialed of suggestively, letting her guess the rest.
"Yes, Fang, she knows about everything…EVERYTHING," she replied.
Most of the flock misinterpreted it, and moved on, but Angel snickered, reading my mind.
We piled out of the car and towards the house.
Proudly, I started to lead the way, but thinking quickly, I pushed Fang ahead of me, so the flock wouldn't have a reason to question out identities.
The door opened before we reached it, and Ella threw herself at Fang.
"HI MAX!" she yelled, holding on tightly.
Fang tried to make it believable by not turning into stone, but he didn't seem to be able to make himself hug this girl he had never met before back.
I snickered at his expense, and that made Ella notice me.
"Oh! You must be FANG! How wonderful to meet you!" she ran at me next, hugging me tightly.
I had seen her wink at me while she switched hugs, and I stood as unresponsive as I possibly could.
"Ella, stop! You must be scaring the poor boy!" said Dr. Martinez with an amused look at my expression.
"Mom…hello," Ella added.
She didn't look very happy with her mother for some reason.
In fact, she looked furious…for Ella.
She disappeared into the house ahead of us, and we followed.
She appeared a while later carrying a batch of cookies…still warm from the oven.
'Attack it,' I mouthed to Fang.
He stepped forward and grabbed one.
I grabbed two and the rest of the flock followed suit, until there were none left.
Ella and Dr. Martinez laughed, "Don't worry, we have looooooooots!" said Ella, her dark mood passing quickly, though I noticed she still wasn't looking at the mother.
"Listen Max, and Fang, Gazzy, Iggy, Nudge and Angel…are I correct?" she waited for us to nod before continuing. "We don't have enough rooms for everyone so I'll give the guest room to Fang, since he is hurt, and the rest of you can put your things in the basement. Also, we are having a sleepover…of sorts…starting in a half hour approximately. Everyone can unpack and start settling in around the television. I'd appreciate some help setting up sleeping bags etc." said Dr. Martinez.
Everyone nodded, and we went off towards where we needed to be.
Ella started helping me towards 'my' room.
"So, Max, how are you feeling…by the way, you are really hot," she said.
"Thanks," I said very sarcastically.
"No really, you are. I can't believe you and Fang still aren't going out! On top of that, you are still pranking him! What's with that? You just got back from the hospital young lady," she said in a low voice.
We looked at each other for a minute before we both burst out laughing.
Unpacking didn't take long.
Ella told me about her boyfriend, and her friends and high school and pretty much everything else you could think of.
I filled her in on saving the world, and buying a house and everything you could think of.
On our way out though, her face suddenly turned serious. "Hey Max, remember those jerks with the guns that you fought for me? They got ARRESTED! When going to the hospital for the broken nose, the got caught for speeding, and while the guy driving reached down to get his license and registration-that he had dropped-a pack of some drug fell out of his pocket! They all had it on them, and in the car, the got arrested! Thank you so much!"
"Oh my god Ella! That's really great news! So no more trouble?" I said.
She shook her head and we sat down to watch the movie with everyone else.
Slowly, people appeared out of the kitchen.
There arms were loaded with armfuls of food.
Everything was put down, and the movie started as everyone chewed on popcorn.
I didn't really watch very much, I was having a conversation with Angel in my head.
'I need you to make me cry at the part when the guy dies. It needs to be loud and sniffly. Please Angel?'
'Okay,' she agreed happily in my head.
Soon after that, the movie caught my interest and I actually felt like crying when the Titanic started to sink.
Angel was doing her job well.
When Jack died, I started bawling loudly.
"Oh gosh…how…how could he die? There should have been a happy ending. There should have…." I said through my sobbing.
Everyone was staring at me and then Ella started to laugh, and slowly the whole room except for me was in hysterics.
"God Fang! Grow up…since when are YOU like this?" said Nudge laughing so hard she couldn't even tease me properly.
I started to sob harder when the old lady died and went back to the Titanic in her own personal heaven.
The movie ended, and then the real teasing began, starting with a round of laughter.
Listen guys, I know its been really long since I updated, but I have a really huge writers block. I NEED INPUT! I need story ideas, and prank ideas and etc. I don't really know what to do anymore. I really appreciate all your help in advance. Thanks so much, and if reviews hit 200, I'll give everyone a cookie...or pie...or something. Love my reviewers forever, and I'd love it if all you twilight readers would read my story Search For Memory. I really love that story, and I think it has a promising future! Again, I love all my reviewers!!!!!!
