Sorry for not updating! Okay, a special shout out to maxridelover123 for being such a great reader/reviewer! Thanks, you really motivate me! Everyone should thank them because they asked me to update, which is the reason I am right now! Okay, on with the story…
Nudge's POV
When I realized that it was Fang who was splayed out on Angel's rug, I squealed and ran forward to hug him. The Flock followed suit, and we had a big group hug, even though Fang isn't the huggiest person around. When we all broke apart, smiling and laughing (even Mr. Emotionless), I saw Fang scan the room. "Where's Max?" he queried softly. Oh my gosh I totally forgot Max wasn't here.
"She is currently sitting at a table and clutching a pen, scribbling away for dear life in the autograph books of a long line of ecstatic little girls," Angel announced. Fang grinned, and tried to walk towards a chair. He stumbled on his way there, and Iggy somehow caught him (don't ask me how my blind husband can catch falling emo bird ki- adults). I then noticed that Fang's face was pale under his deep tan, and that his outspread pure black wings were drooped and trembling.
"I've been flying for days with little rest," Fang explained as Iggy helped him into a chair (again, I have no idea…). "I couldn't stand the thought of my poor Max being sad about me any longer than necessary. I can't believe that I didn't come…" Fang fell silent as Gazzy handed him a cup of hot chocolate. He smiled in thanks and chugged the whole thing.
"Why didn't you come back? I mean she was so-" Angel shot me a look that read shut up now and I stopped talking. Hey, I was curious! Fang's expression hardened. "I forgot, like the stupid idiot I am."
"Oh," I whispered, and set about redeeming myself for that careless remark by picking out the biggest muffin and offering it to him. He gratefully accepted it and started chewing.
"So you're still the best blind baker ever, eh Ig?" Fang asked, tearing huge bites out of the poor defenseless pastry. Iggy nodded proudly. "So what's the Flock news?"
My cue to babble! "Angel is an interrogator for the FBI, Gazzy is a flourishing comedian, Iggy and I run an ice cream shop in town which you really must go try out, and Max is, as you know, a musician. Oh yeah, and Fang, while you were gone, Iggy and I got married." Ah, that's better. All of my pent up words out…
"Oops, sorry for missing that," Fang apologized. "When can I see Max?" Hello, did he just tune all of what I said out? Jeez, that guy really had a one track mind. Max, Max, Max… You may think that's random, but she's been on his mind the whole time. He is in love with her Nudge. Yeah, I had kind of wondered. Thanks Ange. No problem.
"ZOMG I have an idea!" I squealed suddenly, jumping out of my chair and clapping my hands excitedly.
"Are you sure you're thirty Nudge?" Fang asked with a serious face.
"Oh shut up. I think you should totally like surprise Max!" I love my ideas!
"Shall I fall through her window too?" Fang suggested sarcastically. I frowned at him.
"I was thinking more of a romantic thing, like if she's standing on her balcony swoop down and kiss her." I broke off and stared into the distance dreamily…
"OOH! I have an idea too!" Angel cried.
"Uh oh," Fang shrank back into his chair. Angel batted him with the back of her hand.
"How about we take Max to dinner at a place where people can dedicate songs to people and have Fang dedicate one to Max? That would be cute," Angel suggested.
"Nah, how would she know it was from Fang?" Iggy countered. Angel pouted playfully.
"Or we could go to the beach or something and have Fang leave a message for her, then while she's reading it he can sneak up behind her and hug her or something," Gazzy piped up. We all stared at him, surprised by this outburst. "What? It's better than all of your ideas!" He said defensively.
"Well, that is true," Iggy admitted, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
"Well Fang, choose!" I prompted impatiently.
"Umm, I kind of have my own idea…" Fang muttered. Oh, what's this? Mr. Silent is speaking up! My curiosity was piqued.
"What is it? Spill!" Angel prodded him excitedly. Fang explained his plan, and we all agreed his idea was the best. Then we decided to hide Fang at Angel and Gazzy's place until it was time for Fang to appear on the scene. We all stacked fists, just like old times, and went our different ways, happy the Flock was back together again.
Phew! I just typed that all in one sitting. I hope you're satisfied maxridelover123! Just kidding! Well, I have to type the next part quickly, because I have to get to bed quickly, because I'm getting up at 4:00 AM tomorrow to watch Greece play in the World Cup! (If you've seen my profile, you know I am Greek and proud of it).
Will you please follow maxridelover123's example and review? I love it so much when you do! Hey, that rhymed… kinda. Anyway, ciao!
