Hi-please review thanks.
After the meeting was over, we all were itching to move around. We couldn't go flying because it was literally a blizzard outside, so we asked permission to play tag in one of the huge ball rooms. Of course Vera, Emil, and Vince all said yes. So now we were playing tag. It felt good to be moving, burning some energy, and hopefully stop jittering. All day I've either been tapping my leg, bouncing, or twiddling my fingers, I couldn't stay still. Which is super annoying.
"I can't wait to go into outer space!" Gazzy exclaimed, right after I tagged him.
"I know." I responded, before running away. "Just be safe up there."
"I will." Gazzy yelled over to me as he chased Iggy, who was amazingly good at tag, especially since he couldn't see.
"Yeah, I know you will, because I don't feel like getting fried." Ig joked, before veering left, narrowly avoiding the Gasman's extended arm. Good, that means he'll be at least halfway responsible.
"So, who goes where?" Fang asked me from the sidelines where he was leaning against the wall.
"I was thinking I want to be with you Fang." Nudge started her babble. "Because of that one time at Lake Mead, when we were waiting for Max to catch up - that was super fun. Well not fun, fun, like this, but it was enjoyable to be with you." Nudged paused a second, realized Gazzy had turned his attention to her started running then continued her rant. "Okay, that sounded wrong. Oo I so don't love you like that, I do love you but like a brother, like I love Gazzy and Iggy. Anyways, I just liked talking to you, even if I did most of the talking. Plus I think Max will want to be with Angel, I don't know why, but I just think that they need some one on one time, and what's better one on one than saving the world together?"
"Got You!" Gazzy yelled excitedly at Nudge, who turned towards Fang.
"Okay, I'll go with Nudge." He said before he started to sprint away from her. "Just remind me to pack duck tape."
"I'll get you for that!" Nudge screeched. "Fang, I will not let you duck tape my mouth! That would hurt!!" Nudge pushed herself a little faster, before veering toward me, and catching me by surprise.
And I was it again. I looked at my flock, who should my prey be? Fang was leaning on a wall again. Iggy was standing in the middle of the room, ready to run, but calm and concentrated. Angel, running circles around Total trying to convince him join in the game. Nudge was running away from me, while Gazzy was watching me waiting. Who should my prey be…?
I ran towards Angel. "So Fang do you want to take Antarctica or China?" I asked as I watched Angel carefully plan her course, zig-zagging around the room trying to get me closer to the other flock members.
"Don't care." For the reference that is a two word response-in a very monotonic voice.
I thought about where I wanted to go before, switching my target to Iggy, who caught on quick and started running away from me.
"Would you mind if I go to Antarctica? I want to find out what they are doing down there, something tells me it's not pretty and well I want to deal with any experiments first hand." I tagged Ig.
"I like China." was Fang's response.
"Good, cause that's where you are going now."
"Okay."
The game had kind of come to a stop. "Are we still playing or what?" Ig asked.
"I don't know." Gazzy looked thoughtful.
"Well I think its dinner time." What happed to lunch? You ask, well we ate during the meeting, which was an all day affair.
"I think you are right." Iggy started to walk towards the door. "It should be ready about now."
So we raced down stairs to the dinning room, where the food was being laid out, perfect timing. We just dug in like wild animals, not even waiting for Vera and Emil who were came only minutes later.
After dinner we just hung out. Nudge convinced us to play board games, so we just sat around in the entertainment room. After loosing at Clue about 5 times I decided Maximum Ride, doesn't like loosing - naturally.
"Guys, can we do something else? Please." I pouted towards Nudge who was weighing Monopoly and Scrabble in her hands. "No more board games."
"Yeah-I think they have the word BORED in them for a reason - they are boring." At least I had Iggy on my side.
Nudge put down the games she was holding. "Fine, but then what should we do?"
"Go for a fly."
I stared lasers at Fang. "Sorry, not happening. I like my flock in one piece."
"But Max, it's not that bad outside, it's only snowing."
"And what did we learn in Colorado about snow, way back when? Hmmm, that it could freeze onto our wings rendering them useless." I said just quickly enough to stop everyone at the door.
"What do we do then?" Gazzy asked, playing with his foot.
"Maybe we should talk about getting help with the media? I mean I thought we also needed to talk about the economy and all today. We only talked about where we were going and how to get there, not what to do while we are there. And probably before we get there. Max, I seriously think we need to publicize this." Nudge said.
"No we are not getting into the news, then how are we supposed to stay…"
"We could go in disguise." Fang interrupted.
"Wearing head to toe clothing, and like ski masks or something, only letting our eyes, and wings show. That would work, wouldn't it??" Nudge was bouncing.
"Fine. Go find Emil, and tell him that you found more that needs talking about Fang." I clenched my jaw, scrunched my eyebrows, said "I am going to bed" and defiantly walked out.
And I thought the meeting was over. Can we finish all this planning already I am rearing to kick Itex butt. Ready to get off my bum, ready to get this over with. Ready to save the world already…again.
Obviously I'm not very good at keeping my promises, and I'd like to say sorry. But truthfully I think that I've become to serious about this, making it less fun…making it hard to make myself write. So…I will update when I have something to give you, beg you to review, hope you read AND not care if I take three months to update. This is a promise I can keep.
Thanks-pwease review.
