Another chapter for the faithful readers! I love weekends! They're so relaxing...especially when you wake up screaming at 4am!

Here's the chapter:

Keep going, you'll get there

Yay! You made it! Good for you!


Max POV:

We both were standing there like idiots, not knowing exactly what to do at this point.

"Hey," He said.

"Hi," I replied.

More silence. I'm not sure how long we'd been standing there, but the sun was starting to go down. I looked at my watch, (When did I get a watch?). The time was around 5:30. If I wanted to make it home before dinner, than I had to leave now. I looked up at Fang, who was still staring at me…it was starting to get a little freaky.

"Uh, Fang?" I asked. He nodded. "I have to get to my mom's house now, so…" My voice trailed off, and I turned around when I heard him ask.

"Can I come with?" He was following me, and I guessed that, whether I said no or not, he would come with.

"Uhh…sure," I said. We rode off in silence to my mom's house. Flying always made me a lot calmer. I liked it. Suddenly, Fang flew up to my level, our wings brushing. He had one of those rare smiles on, which almost made me nervous.

"Race 'ya," He said.

I smiled. Didn't he forget I had super-speed? This was going to be an easy win. "You're on," I sped ahead, using all my speed. I looked back. I couldn't even see Fang. Ha! That'll teach him to never challenge me again! I didn't notice that I was coming dangerously close to the house, and turned to see it approaching me fastly. I stopped just in time, and my face was an inch from the doorway. I walked in to see…Fang sitting on the couch? How did he get here?

He yawned. "What took you so long? By the way, I got a new ability. I can teleport now," He said this very nonchalantly, like we were discussing weather or something. I was very intrigued by this, and pestered on.

"How does it work?"

"I just picture where I want to go, and blink."

"How far can you go?"

"I was in that park about a week ago. I was thinking back to when we had our house in Colorado. I blinked. You get the idea."

"Wow," I said.

Mom, just noticing the two of us on the couch, she walked over to Fang. "Hi! How have you been?" She hugged Fang, and he did nothing, waiting for it to be over. After awhile, she let go. "We're about to start dinner, so you two go wash up and join us at the table. Fang and I walked silently to the sink, and washed our hands before joining the table. An excited Nudge squealed, and ran up to hug Fang. Once again, he did nothing, and waited. Nudge let go and started talking to him.

"I can't believe you're here? Why did you come? I wanted to see Ella, because I hadn't seen her in, like, forever! Did you come to see Ella? Or maybe Max's mom? Or did you come for the cookies? I sure missed those, too. Ella said that she'd help me make some tonight, and-"

She was stopped by me clasping my hand over her mouth, she blushed, and rejoined Ella at the table. I sat down, and we ate dinner.

Iggy POV:

We were just crossing the state border into Arizona when I heard an all too familiar buzzing noise. Crap.

"Gazzy, where are they?" I asked.

"About…umm" I forgot! Gazzy could barely tell time. Mega crap.

"I got it! They're 8 o'clock!" He said proudly. Just then, a dozen flyboys came rushing towards us. I hear Angel tense beside me, and I felt her staring at Total. I remembered that I was still holding him.

"Total, have you tried your new wings yet?"

"Well, no, but,"

"Try them now!" I growled. He jumped out of my hands, and I heard wings flapping. I guess they worked.

Not a moment too soon. A flyboy crashed into me hard, and what I was sure was blood came out of my mouth. I hit it hard on its spine, making it fall to the ground in pieces.

"Remember what Max told you! The spine is their weak spot!" I heard two "ok"s, and went back to fighting. I kicked-ass. It was good to do this again; I hadn't had a good fight for about a week. I heard a huge boom and remembered that Gazzy still had some bombs from the last time we made them. That would keep him okay.

"You will fall," I heard Angel say. I then heard about 10 of them falling, and hitting the ground with a sickening thud. "Pffft! Artificial Intelligence!" She cried down to them. I smiled, and another one tried to hit me. I swiftly dodged the blow, and gave his spine a hard kick, sending him crashing to the ground. There was no more buzzing, and I called to my mini-flock.

"Is everyone okay? Angel? "

"Just a bloody nose,"

"Gazzy?"

"There's barely a scratch on me!"

"Total?"

"They pulled my tail. Other than annoyed, I'm ok!" I let out a sigh of relief. We we're all ok...for now. But what about the next attack? This showed me that we needed to get to Dr. M's, and fast.

Fang POV:

Dinner was great at Dr. M's. We ate chicken. It was very crispy, and I ate hungrily. I hadn't had a good meal in a long time. Nudge was really hungry, too, (well hungrier than usual that is). Max's mom smiled, and turned towards me.

"So how've you been doing?" Max shot me a sympathetic look. I guessed that she meant that this was question time.

"I've been ok,"

"How's the Blog?"

"Good,"

"What've you been doing for the past month or so?"

"Stuff,"

"Like?" She persisted. She wasn't going to take any short answers, so I figured I had to talk.

"Controlling my teleportation, and stuff like that,"

"You can teleport?" Her eyes grew wide.

"Yes," I answered simply. Nudge then interrupted her.

"Whoa! You can teleport? That is soo cool! I never get any cool powers! I mean, it's fun to hack into computers and stuff, but I want to have super-speed like Max, or maybe mind-reading like Angel. Ooh,-"

She was cut off by Ella. "Can you show us?" She asked.

I focused on the empty space behind Ella's chair, and blinked.

"Is this enough proof?" I asked behind Ella, making her jump.

"You scared me!" she accused, but her tone was happy. "That was cool!"

"I know," I said, and zwoomed (A/N: My new Fang-teleporting word: zwoom!) back into my chair. Many more long questions after that, Max's mom, exhausted, walked up the stairs to her room. Looking down at me, she said.

"Max is using the spare room, and I'm guessing that Nudge would like to share Ella's room, but you're welcome to sleep on the couch, if you want to."

"Okay, Dr. M. Thanks," I zwoomed to the couch, and lied down for a much needed sleep.


So there it is! Does 'zwooming' make sense now? I thought it would...

I am listening to nice, calm music while the breeze from the window isn't cold, but just nice enough to please me!

I am sooooooooooooooooo happy! I like being happy! Reviewing makes me happy! I wan't to stay happy, so please review. I still don't know if Max & Fang should get paired up... really no one has done my poll, so I want to know! What did you think? Did you like it? Tell me, tell me tell me!
