The rest of the flight was pretty uneventful. We stopped for dinner without incident, and I called Max. She told me everything was fine, except for the fact that she had done really badly in my schoolwork (I'm homeschooled) and my mum was mad at her. I let her know we'd be there in a couple of hours.
Finally! Below me I could see the small town of C-----, where I lived. I contemplated possible landing spots, then pointed to a huge field.
"The C----- Airport. It's close to my house."
After landing, we walked down the familiar streets, each lost in our own thoughts. Except for Nudge. She was lost in talking about her thoughts. We walked up the stairs to my home and I rang the doorbell. My family had just finished dinner.
It was the weirdest feeling in the world as I saw myself open the door. Max just stared at me, then squeaked and hugged me.
"You guys made it! You're here!"
She hugged everyone as they looked at her. Gasman said to me, "So that's what you look like." I smiled and ruffled his hair. "Rachel?" I heard Shane, my brother, call. "Who are those people?" Max smiled at us and told us to come in.
Once we sat down, Angel looked at my mum, then at Max. "Rachel's mum is mad at you for bringing us in without letting her know."
My mum blinked and sat down.
"Mum, this is Angel, Gasman, Nudge, Fang, Iggy, and... Max's body," Max explained. "Yes, the actual characters from Maximum Ride."
Eyebrows were raised. Shane and Mum's mouths dropped open and Dad slumped in his chair. "Prove it. Those kids have wings. Yes, they look like the descriptions of the kids but I don't see any wings."
We all spread our wings for their benefit. "Now you do." Eyebrows went up higher and eyes widened considerably. "Now, I'm going to ask you to trust me on this," I said. "I'm telling the truth just like she did," I gestured to Max.
"That's not really Rachel. That's Maximum Ride. And I'm Rachel. I don't know how we switched bodies, but it happened sometime early Sunday morning."
Angel looked up at me. "They want to believe you, but don't know if they can. They're very confused."
Complete silence.
Well, Rachel, you're getting there. Now only Fang and Max remain, and your mission will be done. But of course, you've got to convince your parents. So, here you go...
I fell off my chair and started writhing on the floor, pain resounding in my head. Everyone rushed to group around me. Surprisingly, it was Iggy who held me, stroking my hair and telling me it would be okay...
The pain cleared and I stood up, wobbling slightly.
"So it's giving you brain attacks too, huh?" Max was mad. "That Voice! Aargh! I'm sorry!"
Mum, Dad, and Shane looked at her, then at me. "Okay, we'll believe you." Dad spoke to the whole Flock. "Do you guys want to spend the night here?"
