Note: To Give up your Prejudices: You'll just have to wait and see! BTW, Fang is not with the rest of the flock. He was just trying to find Max. And I'm afraid answers won't be coming really soon. Just so you know :D And, also, keep in mind that I post these chapters while I have a few chapters head already written. I can't use all of your ideas because of this. Sorry!

Reviews! (Jumps up and down) Updating because I'm just so happy. Listening to No Air again. Still addicted to that song. Continuing on now.

Ch.33 Eavesdropping, Volume II

Iggy suppressed a giggle.

"Oh! But, I mean, I don't mean you're not pretty or anything, because you are, but, I mean, you are beautiful, really beautiful, just…" Fang's voice stammered from afar.

Iggy covered Gazzy's mouth with one hand and Nudge's mouth with another. He didn't know what he would have done if Angel were there. Use a foot? Nudge grinned from under his grip, and he could tell she was suppressing the urge to blabber.

"Mflufluaxndfngstmmmgfffny!" she laughed, but it sounded like a dying/choking squirrel.

"Shhh!" Iggy hissed, and she giggled a little quieter. Gazzy glared at her, and she glared back, still smiling.

Sudden laughter erupted from the direction of Max and Fang.

"Gazzy, why are they laughing?" he whispered.

"I don't know," Gazzy answered, sounding perplexed.

"Nudge?" he whispered to his right. What he wouldn't give to not be blind at timed like these.

"Uh, I – oh! Max was laughing at Fang because he stuttered!" Her smile revealed how proud she was to Iggy. True, no one ever knew what was happening when those two laughed. The world coming to and end? One would think so, considering how different they acted when it was just them.

A deathly scream echoed through the forest, and a moment of absolute silence followed, everyone's previous joy forgotten.

"What was that?" Iggy's voice was low, because he already knew the answer.

"Angel," Gazzy whispered, then flew off into the forest.

Note: Still giggling that I made Fang say Max was beautiful. Thought that was a realistic way to make him do it.
