Ok! So here's the new chapter! This is Alex, btw. I'm writing this while Elli watches my sisters copy of "17 again". A movie that I hate, but She loves. I mean, I sort of like it, but I just don't really like the… awkwardness of it… Aaannyyywwaaayyy, Here's the new Chapter!

Disclaimer: We do not own Maximum Ride. If we did, Iggy would have his sight back.

Claimer: We DO own Alex, Elli, Jacob, and other OC's that are scattered throughout the story. Please ask before using them.

I stood there a moment, my mouth hanging open, but I shut it as a gnat tried to fly in. (book 5 reference!).

"You..can't..exactly…fly…yet?" I managed to choke out. I mean, I know that he wouldn't be as cool with the Wings as Elli and I were, but, still! You think he would have at least tried!

"Well, I tried...but I fell, and it just kind of wrecked it for me."

Ok, so he did try, but only once?! I mean, really! It's like getting an X box for Christmas, and you only play it once! I squelched the sudden desire to whack him on the head.

Elli, sadly, did not.

"Ow!" Jake exclaimed, rubbing his head where she had hit it.

Elli looked over at me with a devious smile.

"Well, this should be fun!" she said, while I fought a grin. I nodded, and turned to walk toward Jacob.

"Jake", I said slowly, "we don't want to hurt you, so unfold your wings".

He hesitated, seeing our expressions, and then slowly rolled his shoulders to unfurl his Wings.

Immediately, we grabbed his arms and took off, rising powerfully into the sky. Jacob screamed (a lot like a little girl, I might add), and shouted at us, "let me down!"

I glanced at Elli, then turned back to Jake and said,"Ok!", and let go, seeing him drop like lead.

Slightly worried, I flew down towards him and yelled "Flap your wings!"

He must have heard me, because I saw his wings start to work frantically to get him aloft, and he rose unsteadily into the air.

"What did you do that for!?" He exclaimed, giving me a glare.

I shrugged, "It was the quickest way to teach you how to use those things", I said, gesturing toward his wings, which now seemed to be working strongly to support him. He gave me a look of pure Evil and looked at Elli, who was now practically falling out of the sky because of her laughter. "Shut up!" he practically snarled.

She looked up, her laughter stopping abruptly. Then a smile slowly spread across her face

"How can I shut up if I am not talking?" she said, and I had to work hard to contain the giggles that bubbled on my lips.

He sighed, knowing that arguing with her was hopeless, and instead asked me the question I had been thinking for awhile.

"Well, what now?"

Truthfully, I was surprised by the question, simply because I didn't know. I shrugged and said, "I guess just lie low for now, get used to the wings, and see if we get any new powers."

His eyes widened.

"P-powers?" he stuttered out, "like, superman? Flying and all that?"

Elli rolled her eyes.

"We already can fly, genius."

He stuck his tongue out at her, looking very childish.

"You know what I mean", he pouted.

I almost laughed at his expression. He was frowning, sticking his tongue out, and pouting all at the same time, making him look very ridiculous. I allowed a small laugh to escape my lips, in an effort to prevent the fight that was probably going to happen, in which I didn't know who would be the winner.

Elli, noticing his face for the first time, burst out laughing, dropping about 50 feet before being able to compose herself and remember how to work her wings.

Sighing, I veered off toward my house, calling to Elli and Jake, who were still hovering in the same spot, and still bickering like Magpies.

Ok, so a short chapter at best, but I don't really know how to continue, and Elli is too distracted with her Zelda game to help me out. So, I decided that I might as well leave off here, on a fairly good note. This is really just a filler chapter... oh, and sorry for any grammar mistakes or misspelled words... Elli usually fixes that… lol.

Elli: she's right, I do.

Alex: but I think of the plot!

Jacob: well, what do I do then?

Alex: Your not even real, Jake.

Jacob: Really? But… but….. I WANNA BE A REAL BOY TOO!!!

Alex and Elli: Shut up, you Idiot!!!

Jacob: Make me!

Elli: *grabs a flamethrower* are you sure?

Jacob: *whimpers* mommy….

Alex: ok! While I keep Elli from burning Jake to a crisp, make sure to Review!!!
