A/N: Sorry, I don't really like this chapter, but I'll post it anyway. It's only really a filler chapter. I'll post more soon, please review!!!
Fang's POV
Ok, I know I made a mistake, but Max would have understood, or so I though until I saw her leaving the health lodge, streaked with dirt and tears. Just as I was about to go up and apologize, I saw Iggy running back over to me, and he stopped me from going over there "Look man, I think she just needs to calm down before you go over and apologize. Maybe tomorrow, but I have something else to tell you, something important." He said. "Ok," I said, catching his nervousness, "How about when we go flying tonight?" "Great." Was all the reply that I got. Look who had the annoying one word answers now!
Max's POV
I just need to clear my head, and Mel suggested that we go for a flight tonight. I agreed, and now here we are, sneaking out of the unit. It's around midnight, so some people are still awake, and we have to be extremely quiet. But still, I'm enjoying the thrill of sneaking out with my best friend. "Hey Max," she whispered and I looked around "come on, just a little further, then we can take off." "But there isn't a clearing any where around here." "We don't need a clearing, just follow me!" she sounded excited. Suddenly, the forest opened up around us, and Mel spread her wings, taking a running jump into the air. She folded in her wings, so they were close to her back, but still un furled. And made a swooping turn, zipping in and out of the trees with an agility I had never before believed possible. I watched for a moment, trying to figure out how she did it so I wouldn't crash into a tree. Then I jumped into the air, keeping my wings partly unfurled. Swooping in and out of the trees, with the agility of sparrows, and the speed and power of a falcon, is really something, let me tell you. Eventually however, we had to stop to take a break. Sitting in some really tall trees, maybe 80 or 90 ft off the ground, we rested, while eating leftover goldfish Mel had been able to mooch off of Jamie (a.k.a. the snack fairy), we heard two people flying over the water (of the lake) coming towards us. We melted into the shadows. "You seriously have to tell her man, it's not like you can go on pretending that you don't like her. She's bound to figure it out sometime, but after what you just did, I don't really expect her to give you a chance, if you don't apologize first." I recognized Iggy's voice. I had a good idea of who the other one was, and didn't exactly want to reveal myself to him. Besides, I wanted to hear his answer. "Well, it's not like I can just ditch Abby, she asked me and I did say yes, I can't exactly go back on my word no matter how much I like Max, besides, you have to admit, Abby is hot." " Unfortunately I can't exactly confirm that, I am blind you know!" "Right, sorry I forgot." "That's fine." And with that, they turned and flew away.
