Fang's POV

Nudge's driver drove the Flock to the airport sometime close to 10 at night. Max and I went around saying our short goodbyes before entering the terminal. Iggy and Nudge held hands as they waved us off. Gazzy had his hands on Angel's shoulders promising us he'd take care of her.

"What's the first thing you want to do once you get there?" Max asked on the plane. She had a smile full of excitement.

"Whatever you want."

"We're living close to the beach right?"

"Of course. Courtesy of my parents. I made sure it'd happen."

"Let's take a walk right along the shores. Will we make it there by sunset?"

"We'll probably be there by maybe four."

"Good. I love watching the sunset."

"Really? Since when?"

"Since you asked me to go with you to Privil Island. Now it's a memory."

"Then Thunder is your new favorite song?"

"Correct."

"You used to have a weird sense of logic. Now you just have no logic sense."

She laughed quietly. "That's okay. We've graduated already. Logic is no longer necessary. I could live my whole life doing stupid things now, and it'd be okay."

I chuckled. "Just don't get yourself killed."

"Or kill myself. Got it."

After the ride on the plane, we boarded a ship that took us to Privil Island. It was a small ship, and Max turned out didn't do good on ships. While other couples who had gotten houses on other sides of the island was asleep, Max was hunched over the side of the ship pouring out the contents of her stomach.

"I'm sorry, Max. I didn't know you get sea sick."

"I'm sorry I didn't know either." She laughed and placed a hand on my cheek. "I've never been on a ship before. No one would've known. Don't feel bad."

We sat together leaned against the ships side, Max's head on my shoulder. I rubbed her back trying to make her feel better.

"You know we can't fly straight to Privil Island right? There's no airport there."

"You mean, I have to do this again on our trip home?"

I nodded guiltily. Max groaned then suddenly hauled herself up and well… blllleeeehhhhhh…. Broooooaaaarrrrr…. Huuuuuurrrhhhhhh…. I kept her hair out of her way and rubbed her back until she stopped.

"Maybe I can ask around and see if anyone brought seasick pills." I offered. She shook her head.

"Don't bother. Everyone's asleep. No use waking them up. Why don't you go in and get some rest too? It won't help if both of us are a mess tomorrow."

"You sure?"

She nodded. "Yeah of course. Go."

I shrugged and headed back to the bed. Please, she seriously thought I was going to leave her there alone? It's as if she doesn't know me at all. I took two pillows and a blanket, and then I went down to where the captain was. Two people partnered up to steer the ship. The one that wasn't steering greeted me at the door.

"Something you need boy?" he asked with his hands in his pocket. He short and stubby but had a gentle smile.

"Yes sir." I decided to be respectful since he seemed so nice. "My friend's really sea sick, but she didn't know she was so we didn't prepare anything. I was just wondering if you had any medicine that may help her get some sleep?"

"Certainly. We're always prepared since you'll never know. I've got some Bonine that may help." He handed me a pack. "Here you go. Hope it works."

"Thank you sir."

"Oh and son."

"Yes sir?"

"Your girlfriend's lucky to have a guy like you."

"My…"

He laughed a haughty laugh. "Everyone's been talking about the adorable coupled youngsters with the beautiful girl and handsome boy. I couldn't miss it."

"Oh… uh well yes sir, but I'm just as lucky to have a girl like her."

"I'm sure of that. Have a goodnight lad."

"You too, sir. And thanks for this."

He saluted me farewell with two fingers and then went back into his cabin. The beautiful girl and handsome boy eh… these people are starting to make this thing sound like Cinderella and Prince Charming.

I gathered up all the items and brought them to Max who was still hurling. I placed a hand on her shoulder and she jumped almost punching me in the nose.

"Oh, it's you. God Fang don't do that!"

I snickered. "It's not purposeful. Anyways, I got us two pillows, a blanket, and your possible life saver… Bonine."

"I thought you were going to bed."

"You honestly thought I was leaving you out here? Woman you've lost it."

She laughed. "I can take care of myself."

"Not in this state. Besides it feels nice out here. Come on hurry while you're at peace." I threw her the Bonine and took it swallowing it without water. Dang she's good with drugs. She heaved a sigh and slid down to sit where I had set up the pillow and blanket.

"Thank you. Where'd you get it?"

"The captain who's on break."

"Nice."

"You know, he told me a funny story."

"I could use some humor." She made herself comfortable leaned against me and cozy under the blanket. I wrapped an arm around her to protect her from the night's cool breezes.

"Once upon a time there was a beautiful girl with big brown eyes and long brown hair. She lived a lonely life, but she was a hard worker. She never gave up and anything she did. She had little siblings to protect and she was a mother to them even when her own father was a cruel being. Once upon a time there was a prince who had all the money in the world. He was spoiled, but lonely and he rejected his possessions. One day, that beautiful girl and prince met and fell in love. They were noticed by so many that people talked of the young couple of the beautiful girl and the prince…"

"Fang." Max laughed. "He did not say any of that."

"No he didn't, but doesn't it sound like Cinderella and the Prince?"

"Prince Charming, tall dark and handsome. Yeah, yeah it does. Except I'm not like Cinderella."

"Nope you're better. You can kick ass. He told me the other passengers have been talking about us. Sounded like a fairytale to me."

"Yeah but fairytales are stupid. They all have a happily ever after ending, but an ending nonetheless. It makes me think that this… all of this… will end too."

"Never. They all say happily ever after so happily ever after it is. Now come on, I think that Bonine worked. Go to sleep."

She groaned. "I don't feel like moving."

"Then I'll carry you."

She smiled and wrapped her arms around my neck burying her head against my chest. See Max? Happily ever after.
