"So…what are we gonna do Max?" Angel said slowly pulling away.
"I don't know. I guess we just move forward without Fang. I mean, we still have that 'saving the world' thing that we have to do right."
"I guess" she said.
I sighed. "So, anyone hungry?" everyone stared at me. "O-o-o-k, stupid question, Iggy could you cook something" I asked.
"Yeah sure who wants bacon and eggs?" he said rubbing his hands together.
"Oh yeah" said the gasman.
"SO TOTALLY" Nudge screamed.
"Yes PLEASSSSSE" Angel said practically jumping.
I looked around. "That would be great Ig" Ten minutes later Iggy made enough eggs, bacon, fried tomato's and toast to feed a whole herd of Indian elephants which I found out (the hard way)that they were really but REALLY big.
"Oh god, Iggy this bacon is so but so…..oh my god" Nudge sighed having another bite of bacon.
"Seriously Ig, you're the best chef I have ever met." Gazzy said.
"He's the only chef you have ever met." I corrected. He shrugged.
"What do you think Fan-"suddenly the place was quiet. Shoot, why did you say that Max.
"Can you pass me the salt please Nudge." I said trying to ignore what I just said.
"Sure, but Max are you ok, I mean…."
"Look, NOTHING HAS CHANGED WE ARE STILL THE FLOCK! AND I KNOW THAT FANG ISN"T HERE BUT IT'S HIS PROBLEM NOT MINE AND CENTENLY NOT YOURS CAPISH." I sighed. "Sorry" I said lowering my voice.
"Just, I know that everyone is upset ok. I get it, but Fang won't come back, he meant what he wrote and if both Angel and Fang thought that would help us then he was probably right. What I mean is…he's gone and we will just have to deal." Everyone gave me a slight nod. "Now everyone off to bed, it's a new day tomorrow." Everyone hugged me except for Iggy who just shook my hand, and walked to their bedrooms without saying a word.
The next day was….weird. Seriously, I couldn't tell if the flock was happy or sad or angry or confused. It's like they tried to act normal, well as normal as us bird kids can get, and then BAM they start acting like flyboys, and that's NOT good.
"Mornin Max" Angel said walking over to the kitchen bench.
"Morning sweetie"
"MAX, MAX, MAX!" Gazzy ran down the stairs holding Iggy's wrist.
"What's up?"
"LOOK! Ok Iggy, tell me what the colour and object this is" Gazzy said opening his wired magazine in front of Iggy's hands.
"Ok, so" he ran his fingers gently on up and down on the pages. "Cool red with a tinge of yellow in the middle. Judging from the colours and where the colours are positioned I would guess I am feeling a picture of a race car possibly a Ferrari." Iggy cracked a smile. That's exactly what was printed on the magazine. I stared at him in surprise for a few seconds then stepped forward and embraced him with a hug.
"Iggy…I…I am so proud!" I said close to tears. "I can't believe it! you are…AMAZING!"
"Thanks. Still working on it though." He said.
The rest of the day was quite boring. Iggy's hands were on magazines like all day! I guess he really enjoyed it and so did Gazzy. Both of them really knew how to smile when they wanted to. Nudge and Angel watched some TV while and went into one of the rooms to listen to some Kasha.
I on the other hand spent half of my day flying, and it felt great. I really don't know how humans can live without wings.
I landed on a tree trunk and closed my eyes. How on earth am I gonna save the world? God, I wish Fang was here…No max that's not the way to thing come on you know he won't come back.
My eyes slowly became heavy as I closed them forbidding myself not to cry.
I kicked off and opened my wings. The wind was blowing my hair back and I was feeling great. But of course, it had to be ruined. So I normally wouldn't be surprised if a flying eraser came out of nowhere and started to tackle me in the air. But you see, erasers expired like a few months ago so yeah, I was surprised when one landed on me.
"What the freakin Hell?" I screamed trying to get' im off me. I grabbed his shirt and threw him over my head. He fell down a couple of metres and FINALLY realised that he had to flap his wings to stay up. "Jeez, these scientists really forgot to put in a brain." I said looking at him miserably. He put his head up and charged at me again. "Are you really that thick?"
"The Master wants you dead" he said in his enchanted voice.
"Oh wow, really, never knew" I responded sarcastically. He put his hands on my breasts. "HEY, NO TOUCHING!" I grabbed his hands and stabbed them in his stomach what? He deserved it.
I spined around and kicked him on the same place for extra pain. Ha I am so evil sometimes. He started to look up and I quickly flew over and behind him. "Boo" I whispered in his ear grabbing his head. I turned it around heard a sickening POP and that's when I knew that my job was done, and I was freakin good at it.
