Max POV

I was just telling the others we were going to land with various reactions form my flock. Nudge seemed relieved, Gazzy definitely thought he was in trouble, Iggy seemed annoyed, and Angel seemed to be concerned. I turned back towards Fang so we could look for a spot together when I realized he wasn't there. Great. It took me a good minute and a half to spot him because he was already on the ground, and he appeared to be enjoying lying in the grass, looking like an idiot. I banked right and the flock followed me downwards. Gazzy and Iggy were playing chicken on the way down, seeing who would put their wings out first to prevent becoming a bird-kid-pancake. Iggy always won, even though he couldn't see the ground.

We landed in an open, green field. Angel and Nudge saw some black berry bushes on the way down and were hungry so they went looking for them and Gazzy and Iggy had mysteriously vanished which was a bad omen just waiting to bite me in the butt later. Since the younger flock members had disappeared I went to check on Fang; I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. I walked up to him and he didn't move, at all, very unusual for him. Strange. I lightly shook him and I found out he was asleep. Fang hardly ever sleeps; he can function perfectly fine on four hours, and thinking about it, Fang slept for at least nine last night. I reached over to brush some hairs out his sleeping eyes when my hand brushed up against his forehead. He was warm, no he was burning up. Typical Fang, let's not tell anyone we feel sick until we're going to fall out of the sky. What am I going to do with him? "Hey Iggy!" I called in the general direction the two boys went.

"Ya Max"

"Come here for a sec"

"K in a minute"

"Iggy NOW!" Iggy is a smart kid. When he hears the angry Max voice he either comes running, or he runs away. Since he probably couldn't figure out anything too bad that he had done recently, he came running.

"What do you need, your Maxness?"

"Does Fang feel warm to you?" Iggy bent over and lightly brushed his hand across Fangs forehead, "Ya he does. That's not good Max."

"I know, don't remind me."

"Hey, chill out. He's always fine Max, let him sleep whatever it is off and we'll see how he is tomorrow Ok?"

"Ok. Thanks Iggy. Please don't blow anything up, not today."

"Uh… sure Max" Iggy quickly ran away in the direction he came from probably rushing to stop Gazzy before he tested their latest device. One disaster averted one more to tackle.

R&R please! I love getting reviews. You guys always make me smile!
