Maximum Ride: Around the World.

"What're you doing?" I asked Fang. He huffed and tore his shirt off, I put a hand up to my eyes so I wouldn't see and blush. "Um, Fang, I meant it when I said I-" Fang pulled my hand away and my eyes widened.

"What the hell is that?" The Gasman asked from the door.

"A clock." he said as if he were used to answering this question, then he poked the clock and it came out of his side. I furred my brow.

"How-?" Nudge started.

"I was - well, it popped up like Fuzzy." He said. Nudge giggled and laughed like Angel.

"Fuzzy?" I laughed too.

"Fang's power." I grinned. Fang glared.

"Anyway, yeah, a clock. So um...Actually, I was showing Max, she's turning fifteen soon and it picks up on it and it knows when an event will happen. Its already set for the festival. Its like a know all." He explained and pushed it back into his skin.

"Fifteen?" The Flock echoed.

"Yep." I said.

"Yay!" Angel said first.

"So I'm gonna be fifteen soo as well?" Iggy asked. "Cool." He added.

"When do I age?" The Gasman and Nudge asked in unison, Nudge hit his arm.

"Don't interrupt." She said, The Gasman gaped.

"I-! Oh shut up." He rolled his eyes. Total hopped up onto the bed and yawned.

"Remind me never to eat bugs again." He moaned. I laughed and rubbed his belly. "Ig...Carry him back to the room." I said, Iggy huffed and picked him up.

About ten minutes later the flock went back to their rooms. I sighed and looked back over at Fang to see him smirking as he dumped his shirt on the bed.

"Soo...You don't want to make-out with me?" I said, I gaped and chucked a pillow at him. He laughed and flopped onto the bed. "You sounded like Nudge when you started to ramble..." He added.

I rolled my eyes and looked back at him. "Aren't you going to put your shirt on?" I asked tickling that spot that made him giggle all those weeks ago. It worked, the sound from his throat escaped. I grinned, then he tickled me back and pinned my arms down, I wish he'd stop doing that.

"Am I making you uncomfortable?" He asked. My lips parted, an attempt of gaping, and I shook my head.

"No...Why would you be?" I asked quickly and my eyes traveled to his well toned abs. He's only fourteen for Christ's sake! I think any boy would want his muscles and any girl would want him...

"Like what you see Maximum?" An amused voice asked, I got my arms free and slapped his chest. Smooth, ah! No! Don't think a thing.

Tooold yooooooou.

Shut. Up.

"If I said yes would you get off me?" I asked. Fang shook his head a little as if wondering what I was going to say. "What if I said no?" I knew there would be the alternative.

"I still wouldn't get off...I like this too much." He said. Wow...

He's a little ... Hormonal like you at the moment.

I accidentally giggled. That word sounds so...Weird.

"Get your horny ass off'a me." I said trying to push him to one side. He laughed out loud.

"Horny ass?" He asked. I shrugged and grinned.

"The voice said you were hormonal." I said.

"...Oh." He muttered. Fuzzy popped up next to me and Fang groaned.

"Not now Fuzz." He said, I laughed.

"You nicknamed it! Aww how cute!" I gave his nose a small tweak and rubbed Fuzzy's head.

Fuzzy made a small sound and looked from Fang to me. "Mew." He said. I frowned.

"Uh...It's hungry..." He said. I raised my eyebrows.

"Get off then." I wriggled. Fang smirked. "Oh stop it!" I tried to hide my laugh. TRIED, Fang got off and tugged his shirt on and then got something out of his bag and laid it on the bed, Fuzzy gobbled it up, a small grin placing on his cute features.

"Is he happy?" I asked. "Are you happy?" I furrowed my brow.

Fang rubbed the back of his neck. "Um...No, remember, I said I have to take care of it-him- How do you know it's a him?" He suddenly asked.

I shrugged. "Fuzzy, are you a boy?" I asked it, Fuzzy's tongue lolled out of "its" mouth. "I think it's a boy."

Fang nodded and then carried on, "Anyway, take care of him, feed him...And stuff like that, like when I'm angry it's angry to and very big." I laughed.

"Oh." I propped myself up on my elbows and looked at the thing that was rolling about the bed, Fang sat down next to it and grinned a little, I watched with sudden fascination as he forgot that I was in the room and began to play with Fuzzy.

After a few minutes, I spoke up. "Thats cute to." I said with a small smile. Fang looked up a small blush taking over his cheeks, and Fuzzy's cheeks turned red and he buried himself into Fang's hands and then dissapeared.

I stretched and sat up fully. "So...Festival tonight?" I said working the kinks in my neck. Fang nodded and touched the mosquito net curtain.

I liked that thing, it was pretty. "How do you think we got this far? I mean... France, India then Africa? They're no where near each other, I think we're gonna reach the new year before we know it." He said with a furrowed brow.

I sighed and shrugged. "Thats the thing..." I said. Fang nodded and carried on...

"Maybe we should fly to ... No I have an idea." he hauled his bag up on the bed and pulled the map out. I raised my eyebrows and got a small stone out.

"Where ever the stone lands, we fly." He said with a small smile, I bobbed my head.

"Sounds good, go for it." I said, we closed our eyes and he dropped the stone. We opened our eye a crack and then peered at the map.

" Rome?" We chorused.

I huffed. "But its so far away."

Follow your heart?

What are you on now?

I mean ... Do you feel like you want to go to Rome?

I want to see the whole world.

Then go to Rome and work from there, you can miss India and Africa out, and fly to the places you haven't been to, like ... Asia ...

Riiight, I see where you're getting too. I like it.

"We'll work from Rome, miss out on Africa because we've seen and India, we will obviously stop for refreshments and stuff..." I trailed off, Fang nodded.

"Alright." He held his hand in the air. I slapped it and grinned.


" Ohi'mbube, Ohi'mbube. Ohi'mbube-" I slapped Iggy's shoulder, getting annoyed. And then The Gasman sung in a very high pitched voice-

"In the jungle the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight!" I cringed as heads turned our way, but finally we all burst out laughing, tears streamed down Angel's cheeks as she giggled, Total was trying hard not to bark with laughter.

We were waiting, like everyone else, for the small festival carnival thing to start, when it finished we were heading to Rome.

"Is that a real lion?" Nudge asked. I turned my head to the big lion.

"Is that safe?" Fang muttered, I smirked at him.

"Since when is our life safe." Iggy carried on for me. Fang rolled his eyes and chuckled.

Angel gasped. "A zebra!" She hissed.

"Giraffe?" Total said. "This is like a zoo guys." I smiled and scratched under his chin making his leg bounce.

After a little while, I leant into Fang as I became tired and he wrapped an arm around my shoulders and yawned too. "We wont fall asleep." I said with a small grin.

He laughed and tugged on my ponytail.
