FANG'S BLOG

Welcome! You are visitor #: 49,568,189

Hey guys. So, after I started the blog, and all the while it's been up for that matter, I've gotten questions. Many of them being like this: Do you love Max? Does Max love you? Are you two going to get married? When will you just freaking TELL HER?! Will Max ever STOP with the running away after she kisses you?

The list is endless, I swear…

But, to the point of this blog: I can answer the biggest questions without Max killing me! (Ow! She smacked me over the head!)

Question one: Do you love Max? Yes. Yes I do. More than anything I have.

Question two: Does Max love you? Yes, she does. Finally, she does! (Ouch…. second smack to the head…) But, that's the honest answer.

How did this happen? Whew…that, my friends, is a long story. Let me shorten it:

A loco Eraser with major issues and some BAD breath, along with this mind-reading thing, captured me…So, Max and the flock came to save my sorry butt. She fought this Eraser, on a deal that if she beat him I went free…If she lost, we all died. Seeing as she is alive and smacking, she won. But she got really banged up and had to have stitches and stuff.

That's the story, with Max giving it the thumbs up and no smacks.

Fly on.

Fang

"Wow…People are gonna react to this big time." I said, reading over the latest blog entry. "Hey, can I borrow this?" I tapped his new laptop, stolen courtesy of the Ghosts.

"Why wouldn't I let you borrow it, Max?" Fang rolled his eyes.

"Hush up…"

"I think pain meds make you moody." Iggy said.

"No, you do!" Nudge said, elbowing him.

"But that's my job!" Gasman said, cackling like he was insane or something.

"Humph…" Total sighed, "I think you're all insane…I don't like it when Max is moody…She's a 'take my emotions out on the dog' person…"

"It's okay, Total, we love you." Angel hugged him.

"We?" Fang stage whispered to me, "I think she's confused…"

"Guys, be quiet, please." I rolled my eyes at my goofy, hyper flock. They were tired of being stuck here for only three days. All the ladies that were running this place had freaked out when they saw me healing so fast. The cut on my shoulder was almost completely healed. My side would need about three days before any strenuous activity. So, fighting was out of the question. Flying, not so much.

"Why do you need us quiet?" Gazzy bounced on the bed, "We're not meant to be quiet!"

"You are when I ask you! I want a little peace so I can write to Mom, Jeb, and Ella."

"Oh…So we're going back to Arizona?" Nudge asked, munching on one of the last doughnuts from a huge plate of them that had been brought in this morning.

"Yeah…Jeb finally got Ari's body back…so we can, you know…bury him…" My throat tightened.

I'd see Fang's lips purse when I mentioned Ari, but he still pulled me close when I stopped talking.

"Hey, Flock." Keez and Tonks stepping into the room.

"Hey, Ghosts." I said.

"We're gonna head outta here." Tonks told me.

"Why?"

"We don't like staying in one place too much, you know?" Keez said.

"Nope, I've never known the feeling in my life." Fang rolled his eyes, "Of course we know!"

"See ya around, Maximum." Tonks slapped me five.

"See ya, Tonks."

"Later." Keez nodded at Fang. "Don't make us have to save your butt again, all right?"

"Sure, sure."

Good-byes went around, and the Ghosts departed.

I sighed, and opened the laptop.

Dear Ella:

Sorry, we would have been back from the Big Apple by now, but some…stuff…happened, and we took a detour. To Virginia. It's a long story…I'll explain when I get home. Tell Mom and Jeb not to worry, all of us will be back at the house soon. Oh, and, so you guys know, Fang and I are officially together now! You can tell Mom and Jeb that, just so they know, but this I will tell only you: Sam is a wussy kisser compared to Fang. I'll see you soon!

Max.

I hit send, and then shut the laptop.

"I think I'm ready to fly out of here. I'm going nuts." I told the flock.

"Same here." Came a chorus of voices.

"You sure you're ready to fly?" The concern in Fang's voice and eyes made my heart skip a few beats.

"Yes. My shoulder and wing are fine. My side is tender, but I'll live. Besides, you could always carry me."

"I'm not going to object to that." Fang dropped a quit kiss on the top of my head.

"So, you guys ready to go home for a while?"

"After this, yes!" Iggy said, rising. "Lets go home, where there's ice cream, and plenty of food-"

"And a funeral awaiting us…" Nudge kicked the floor. "That's so unfair, I mean, Ari was just a little kid! Like, he was starting to act like one, too, for a while. I know it's hard to believe, and it's a weird feeling, but I really miss him…"

"I know, kiddo." I said, "We all sort of miss him. Come on. Let's go say our good-byes."

I got up and led my flock out into the hall, knowing we'd bump into someone soon.

"Oh, Max, dear!" Sure enough, there was Mary, busy and kind as always. "What on Earth are you doing out of bed?"

"Mary, I'm fine. Due to my…condition, I heal very quickly. I'll be able to fly, and we'll make several stops along the way."

"Well…" Mary pursed her lips, but her eyes softened, "Well, dear, I suppose I can't do anything to stop you. I wish you, and your little family, the best of luck." Then, without warning, she pulled me into a tight hug. "I'll miss you, Max."

"I'll miss you, too. Thanks so much for taking care of me."

"Well, it was nothing." She let go of me, looked us all over carefully, nodded, and continued down the hall, sniffing.

"She was so nice to us." Nudge said, "I'll miss her…"

"We all will." Fang said.

We continued to the door, meeting kids who gave us hugs, good-byes, and high fives. I really did like this place.

"So, the famous flock is leaving?" The boy called Snape asked us, leaning on the doorframe.

"Yeah." I said, tired of all the attention already.

"Good luck. From what Fang told me, you guys need it. Majorly."

"Thanks." I told him, and led my flock into the sun.

I looked back at the building, seeing many faces pressed against the windows, watching us.

"Up and away, guys. Let's give our friends a departure they'll never forget."

I opened my wings, got a running start, and took off into the sunlight.

One by one, my flock did the same. Fang pulled up next to me.

"Just cause I haven't said it today, I love you."

"I love you, too." I smiled.

Feeling the wind on my face, the awesome air currents beneath my wings, and my flock around me, I felt ready for anything that could be thrown at me.

Even saving the world.
