Alex POV:
"Okay, who wanted whipped cream on theirs?" I ask, turning from the fridge with a can of whipped cream in my hand. Almost everybody's hand shoots up. Should have known...I mean, you can't have hot chocolate without whip cream, it's just wrong.
I start popping whip cream dollops on everyone's cups when I notice Max and Fang aren't in here. They must be in the living room.
They are I hear Angel say in my head. I smile at her.
We all start sucking down the hot drinks when I hear...
HEY ALEX!!!! shouted in my mind. I know it's Angel's voice and I turn to look at her but she's not even paying attention to me. That means only one thing. It's not younger Angel....IT'S AUNT ANGEL!! If she can talk into my mind already then they're 1 maybe 2 miles out. 5 minutes tops till they touch the porch. CRAP!!!
"CRAP!" I yell and I nearly break my mug as I toss it harshly into the sink.
Everyone's eyes meet mine, and I quickly see understanding filling them. I flick my wrist toward the living room and we all rush in. I see Max and Fang in each other's arms, panting slightly. If it wasn't right now I might think it was sweet....but right now it totally ain't.
I shoo the younger flock towards Max and Fang and whisper shout for everyone else to stay calm and find something normal looking to do.
"What's going on?" I hear Max say. I spin to face her.
"They're here. It's showtime guys!" Oh boy is it showtime.
Max's eyes look confused so I start explaining as quick as possible.
"Ok, I'm gonna put an invisibilty field around you, so you'll be able to see each other, but no one else but me and Ash will be able to see you. I'll also have some mind blocks up so Aunt Angel won't be able to read your minds. You'll have to stay quiet though, because my field doesn't block out sound."
"Why are you doing this?" She asks using that no nosense tone I know all to well. I take a deep breath and my exhale unknowingly comes out as a groan sound.
"Were losing time so here's the short version. Me and Mel are going to try and explain a little before we do introductions so hopefully we'll avoid any meltdowns this may cause. I'm hoping that explaining some will help prepare them a bit. But, we're about to see how well that works."
I hear a few sets of pounding landings on the porch and I immediatly throw up mental blocks. I spin on my heel and open my hand behind my back, focusing all my energy on making the people behind me unseeable. I glance over at Ash, who is lounging on the couch with a truck magazine (how is heck is that normal??)
They invisible? I question him through the telepathy connection.
He rolls his eyes
For me, No.
I send him a glare.
Please no games, no time.
He sighs and nods. They are.
The door knob starts jiggling and I suck in what I'm hoping isn't my last good long breath.
Here goes nothing....
A/N: sorry, there is going to be alot of Max describing their future selves here before any talking or meeting goes on so bear with me!
Max POV:
Crap crap crap crap. My mind is repeating this phrase over and over as the door lightly swings open, revealing...
Angel!! And what's weirder is seeing her as not 7 and more like in her mid 20's!!! Her light blonde hair is now in a short, sassy bob and is no longer in curls but is stick straight, while her round blue eyes, fringed in mascara, still shine like they do now. She wears black leggings (learned what those are from Nudge) and a short denim skirt, with a tight white tee and some kind of short black vest over it. I see how pretty she's really going to turn out.
Next I see a woman I don't recongize at first come in. It isn't until I see the man she's linking hands with that I realize it's my half sister Ella. Wow she looks different. Her hair is now really short, almost pixie like and her face is more aged and rounded, now reminding me more of my mom. Her plain green v-neck tee and light wash jeans make her look so mom-ish. I then turn my eyes to the very, very tall future Iggy she is clamping hands with. Gosh, I didn't think he could get any taller, but what do I know. He pretty much looks the same, except for the light 5 o'clock shadow around his jaw. He wears a polo and dark jeans plus a huge smile.
Suddenly Alle pops off the ground like a bottle rocket and runs over to Iggy and Ella.
"Mommy! Daddy!" she shrieks with happiness and wraps her skinny arms around Ella's legs. Ella smiles sweetly and bends to hug and kiss her daughter, pulling her up with her as stands. I watch Iggy's smile widen and he pets Alle's hair before grabbing her up in a hug. It's so sweet that I almost want to cry.
"Hey my Alle!" Iggy crows as he tosses Alle up in the air once. She screams in excitement. He then blows a rasberry on his little girl's cheek then places her down. I then faintly see Air and Melanie jog up to their parents and hug and greet them. My attention is pulled from the sweet reunion when two more people limber in the front door, shutting it behind them. Fang and I.
I look us up and down, and see my Fang doing the same thing out of the corner of my eye. We look so much the same and so different at the same time. I'm so used to Fang's shaggy, always in his eyes hair, but now it's cropped short, a few pieces flopping onto his forehead but nowhere else. Dang he looks hot. Whoa, did I just say that, huh. He has that same emtionless mask on his face but somehow it looks...softer, less closed I guess. But at least one thing hasn't changed, he still is in all black, head to toe. Nice to see some normalness. I take a quick glance at future me and I don't look that different. Maybe a little less stressed. Huh. Future me has her hair back in a small clip, a few strands escaping along her face, with a pair of bootcut jeans and a navy blue graphic tee.
I feel a few questions bubble into my mind to ask them when Sky and Zach race to future Max and Fang. The older three haven't moved a muscle, only noticing their parents with a simple raise of the eyes. Zach plows into future me, throwing his arms around her waist.
"Hey mom!!" he shouts.
She smiles and hugs back, pushing his hair and tilting his head back at the same time. She then places a small peck on his forehead.
"Hey sweetie" She says softly.
Sky runs directly to Future Fang, crashing full on into his legs. Fang stumbles back one step, then smirks and picks Skylar up, hugging her close to his chest.
"Hey squirt" he says in a teasing tone while giving her a kiss on the head.
Sky looks him straight in the eye.
"Daddy! I'm not a squirt!! I'm big now!!" she says defiently, putting her hands on his shoulders. He chuckles.
"Your smaller than me. So you're still a squirt" he says pointedly.
"That's not fair!! I'll always be smaller than you!!" Skylar pouts
"Then you'll always be a squirt to me" Sky sighs then starts to wiggle, trying to get down. Fang lets her. He then goes to Max and puts one hand on her lower back.
Max, or future me, then eyes Ash, Alex and Blade carefully.
"Well? I don't get a hug from you three?"
Ash looks toward Alex for a split second before shrugging and getting up. Blade, who is sitting on the coffee table, also stands. They both make their way toward future me and Fang and give them both a hug. Well, Fang gives both boys more of a slap on the back than a hug but whatever. I notice that Alex doesn't move.
Max sighs, then walks toward us, or I guess more towards Alex. She wraps her arms around Alex's waist, almost accidentally touching Nudge, but Alex stays tense. I also see that she makes sure that her mom doesn't touch her open hand. Max pulls back.
She smirks slightly. "Not in a hugging mood." she exhales, "So much like your dad sometimes." She then takes a meaningful look back at Fang who is about a foot behind her. He grins at her.
"Are you at least happy we're home?"
"Of course Mom! Why wouldn't I be?" I notice that Melanie is mouthing what looks like 'WHEN' towards us.
Max shrugs then turns from Alex and goes over to where Ella and Melanie are talking. I take a deep breath but stop mid gulp when I see Alex's back, which is toward us, suddenly tense up. I look up and over a little to see future Fang coming toward her. He has a very skeptically look on his face. This can't be good.
He comes to stand right in front of her, and then gives her a gentle hug which she does not return. Unlike with Max, one of Fang's hands brushes against Alex's open one. He pulls back and tilts his head to the side and one of his eyebrows move up slightly.
"What do you have behind you back Alex?" he says quietly.
"Nothing" Alex retorts quickly.
"You sure about that?" His voice is quiet, almost a whisper.
Alex swallows. "Yeah Dad, I'm sure"
It appears as if Fang is about to turn around but instead grabs Alex's wrist and pulls her open hand around from behind her back. He looks her deep in the eyes.
"Alexa....what are you shielding?" he asks seriously.
"Nothing, just some mess I forgot to clean up. Nothing important."
He glances at her hand. "Then close your hand if it's not a big deal Lex" I thought I saw Melanie's eyes widen in the background. Actually now everyone's eyes are looking at Alex and Fang. Oh crap.
I look at the rest of my flock, and see their widened eyes and shocked faces. I'm not super sure whether it's about seeing their future selves or the fact that we're about to be discovered, but it really doesn't matter by this point.
I then see Melanie jog up behind Fang.
"Uhh...Uncle Fang, maybe me and Alex should say something before we do that." Melanie's voice sounds small right now.
"And why do you need to do that?" Future Max says in a serious tone of voice as she comes to stand beside Melanie. Her face has now gone from motherly tenderness to what-heck-happened in about 4 seconds flat.
"Umm..Alex" Melanie says sheepishly
I can't see Alex's face but I guess she's not giving the answer away because Fang moves his hand over Alex's and closes it. I see Melanie's eyes screw shut and then find myself staring out at some really shocked faces and a whole lot of gasping.
Not a great way to start to start this off
Please give me some feedback on this....I don't really know how to do the whole 'blow up' scene and if anyone has any ideas please share!!! If you don't I'm not sure how long it's gonna take me to get the next chapter up?? We'll see I guess.
All the clothes will be on the profile page soon if ya want to check them out!!
Oh, and you'll see why Gazzy and Nudge aren't seen in this chapter soon, promise!!!
anyway...Peace out!!
