I'm baaaaack! For the second time today! (I'm seriously trying to make up for my lack of presence, okay?) I've momentarily shut Zach in the closet so I could have a moment of peace and so you all could start the story a little earlier! I hope you're enjoying my (slight) comeback!

Zach: *from somewhere in the distance* Emphasis on slight!

"You know, Iggy, I didn't realize you felt that way about Fang. Maybe you should give her a piece of your mind," I shot at him, smirking. "You know, that 'America's Next Top Model' thing you had going was really convincing. Thank God we got that on tape!"

As Iggy started to lunge at me, I quickly dashed away, seeking safety. What a day.


28) Sing 'The Song that Never Ends', 'The Song that Gets on Everybody's Nerves' and 'Banana Phone' over and over.

29) Keep asking if he saw that fly by

30) When he explodes at you go tell Max

31) Laugh while he gets punished


NUDGE POV

After everyone had calmed down over the mind control spiel, we all got together to eat this totally delicious and awesome meal that Iggy cooked up. Man, I swear, on his cooking alone, I would give up this prank war! I mean not that I want to bail on the rest of the Flock, but like what if he stopped cooking for us! OMG! I couldn't handle tha—okay, Nudge, keep it together and no mind-babbling.

"Wow, Ig, you've really outdone yourself with this meal! I mean this pasta is cooked, like, super well and the chicken is blackened, like, just enough. It's crispy and crunchy but still super tender on the inside! Wow, did I just describe Fang or something? LOL I crack myself up sometimes!"

Everyone turned to stare at me as I continued to babble, and Fang shot me a bitter stare. I continued to talk about the banana smoothies he had blended for dessert when Angel interrupted me.

"Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring banana phone! Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding donana phone! It grows in bunches, I've got my hunches! It's the best! Beats the rest! Cellular, Modular, Interactivodular!"

I cracked up at the perfect timing of her prank and dared to join in.

"Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring banana phone! Boop-boo-ba-doo-ba-doop! Ping pong ping pong ping pong ping panana phone! It's no bolagna, it aint a phony! My cellular bananular phone!"

Iggy remained silent as the rest of the Flock started to pitch in. A puzzled look reached his face until he shook off the confusion and continued eating his fettuccini.

"Oh, my gosh!" Gazzy exclaimed from the other side of the table. "That song seems to never end! You know what other song never ends? 'The Song that Never Ends!' This is the song that never ends, yes it goes on and on, my friends!Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just because this is the song that never ends, yes, it goes on and on, my friends! Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just because this is the song that never ends, yes, it goes on an—"

"Oh, for the love of wings! Will you quit that! That song is seriously getting on my nerves you freaks!" Iggy hollered, annoyance climbing up his reddening face.

"I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves, yes everybody's nerves. I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves and this is how it goes! I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves, yes everybody's nerves. I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves and this is how it goes! I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves, yes everybo—"

"Everybody? Apparently not everybody's nerves, because YOU keep on singing it, Nudge! Mamma Mia! Holy cow. Merry Christmas. Where's the advil?" Iggy rubbed his temples as the rest of the Flock sat still. I somehow simmered up enough tears, (though in hindsight I realize this was pointless since Iggy can't even see them, duh!), and started crying to Max.

"Max! Do you hear him? I'm just trying to add some festivity to our lunch! It's so unfair that just because I'm a bit loud and talkative that my parade gets rained on when it may not be others' cups of tea! Like maybe it's not my cup of tea to sit here in silence while we all eat like little vulture birds, craned over our plates! Call me a tattle tale, I don't care!"

As Max smirked and started nagging on Iggy for his lack of patience with the "younger ones of the Flock", I sat back and silently laughed, my daily job done. Man, always having enough words is great. OMG! What if one day I no longer have enough words to explain myself! What if the Merriam-Webster's dictionary is not enough for me! Would other dictionaries have new words for me? What about Urban Dictionary, do they count? Nah, I bet they don't, that's just for the really mean people to make up fake definitions of made up words. But hey, at least they are wor—seriously, Nudge! Enough with the mind-babble!


Let me know what you think! As you all already know, these chapters tend to be on the shorter side, due to the brevity of the original list, but it is what it is! And that is why I've cranked out two chapters in one day! I really miss my presence on this website and the incredible community that comes with it, so hopefully I can maintain my writing status quo!

Love and Double Postings,
