A/N: Hello! Jessica here! Since it's easier, from now on who ever writes the chapter gets to write both the header AND the footer, mainly because I have a habit of doing both on my own stories and its too complicated for us to keep editing the chapters just to add an authors note. So yeah.
Lately I've been obsessing over Codename: Kids Next Door more than I do with Maximum Ride, so don't be surprised if the vibe of the chapter screams KND instead of Maximum Ride. Or if I say "crud." Also, we have decided to do a contest! We're gonna put some quotes from other things in the next two chapters and who ever is the first to tell us where it's from gets to appear in chapter 13! Woohoo!
We don't own Maximum Ride. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but we are not the people you can attack for the rights to the story. Go stalk someone else.
Chapter Eleven: Birds On A Wire
Jessica POV
"Alright, this is all fine and dandy," I began as me, Abby, and the flock sat around lazily, "but why do I feel like we're forgetting something?"
Everyone sat in silence as I tried to remember.
"We were supposed to call Matt!" Abby reminded me, she had just remembered. I jumped up, grabbed the phone from Abby (Wipe that smirk off your face, I told her when our fingers brushed) and dialed, walking into a quieter room.
"Opinions are immunity from being told you're wrong. Paper, rock, and scissors they all have their pros and cons!" Matt sang as he picked up the phone. I laughed at that.
"Good to know," I giggled.
"What's shaking?" I could hear the smile in his voice.
"We found the flock," I reported with a grin.
"Alright! We met up with Fang. He said the old flock was led by some dude named Max, right?" Matt sounded a little uncertain, trying to remember what Fang had told him. I snickered. "What? What did I say?"
"Max is a girl," I told him. That got him to laugh as well.
"Oh, oops. My bad."
"It's okay. What are you doing?" I questioned.
"We're just chilling. Want to know what I'm gonna do when the food comes?" He said mischieviously.
"What?"
"I'll take a potato chip... and EAT IT!" he crowed happily. I, of course started cracking up.
"You are so weird," I told him matter-of-factly.
"Hey! Don't knock a classic quote!" he snapped jokingly.
We talked for a little while longer before I hung up.
As I headed back into the main room, I heard Abby and Iggy playing checkers.
"Face it, you've lost the game," she said to him, as he did in fact lose.
"Crud! I just lost!" I shouted loudly, causing everyone to stare at me. Abby of course just smiled at making me lose the game. Iggy laughed once he figured out what I was yelling about. I sighed and sat down next to them. "You're like two birds on a wire," I told them.
"Err.. don't you mean 'birds of a feather'?" Iggy gave me a confused look.
"It's Jessica. She's just weird like that," Abby stated and I grinned.
Stupid and pointless, I know, but I just can't come up with anything. At least we got the important phone call over with.
Okay, so there are three quotes and a song lyric. The first person to get them correct gets to be in chapter 13. (If you only know one, you'll still be in it. Like if four different people each get one, they'll all be in it) If you get all four, we'll try to give you a major role. :)
Laterrrr...
