A/N- YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!! We made 100 reviews! I'm so happy! Sorry it took so long to update, I've just been really busy.
Disclaimer- What? I don't own Maximum Ride? You're kidding me. (Note the sarcasm)
We walked in the hotel and stared around in awe. The hotel was huge inside, with marble sculptures and huge diamond chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. Rich guests and employees moved around like ants in an anthill, busy talking and carrying heavy bags..
But the commotion all stopped the second we walked in.
Dozens of keen and searching eyes hooked onto us, taking in everything.
We stared right back at them.
I thought about what we must look like.
Six unsupervised kids, and a dog, ages ranging from about eight to seventeen (by appearance, cause we're super-tall for our ages) with long, dirty, ratty, disgusting hair, shredded, bloody clothes, pale faces drawn with exhaustion, skin covered in dirt, and rainwater dripping off them, onto the marble floor.
All in all, not a particularly trustworthy bunch.
I swallowed, and took a few steps forward.
When I realized that no one else was stepping forwards with me, I turned around and grabbed Fang and Nudge's hands. Nudge grabbed Iggy as I dragged them forward with me.
While Iggy and Fang went over to some plush couches to put Gazzy, Angel, and Total down Nudge and I walked up to the check-in counter. The lady there looked to be about nineteen years old, and was shorter than Nudge. She had beach-blond hair, and a perky smile.
She actually looked like a model.
She smiled at me. "Hello, miss. What can I do for you?"
I raised an eyebrow and stared at her. "Uh, we'd like a room. Actually, three presidential suites with a two double beds in each and a rooftop, or private, pool."
She stared at me blankly, then started typing and muttering to herself. "Okay, so… three rooms…" Then she seemed to realize that we were still standing there. "Oh, hi!"
"Hi?" I glanced at Nudge. She had a confused expression on her face, and was staring at the check-in lady. Her nametag said Abbey.
Then Fang came up to us. "Hey Max, almost done?"
I jumped when I realized how close to me he was standing, but composed myself. "Uhhh… Yeah, almost."
He nodded and walked back to Iggy.
When I turned back to Abbey she was smiling at Fang's back. I didn't like the way she was smiling. She looked at me. "Who's he? Your brother? Close friend?"
I narrowed my eyes at her. She better not…
"Ooh, is he your cousin? Cause he is hot."
I glared. "He's… my boyfriend." I blushed. Well, he is technically. He did kiss me.
Nudge glanced questioningly at me.
Abbey frowned. "Ohhh… Well, what about the red-head? He's hot too! You can't be dating both of them!" She looked at Nudge appraisingly. "And he can't be dating her…" She trailed off, but all three of us knew what she was saying.
Nudge was stiff as a board beside me, and I could feel anger rolling off her in waves. When she spoke, her voice was the coldest and most menacing I'd ever heard it. "Oh, well, he is actually my boyfriend, so step off!"
Now it was my turn to look at her questioningly.
Abbey looked embarrassed, and cleared her throat. "Um, so, how long will you be staying with us?"
I thought for a second. "Ummm… I don't know. Can I get back to you on that in the morning?"
.Abbey nodded. "Yep."
I handed her my credit card, and she scanned it. I took the keys she handed me and turned to Nudge. We were just about to leave when Abbey called after us.
"Have fun with your boyfriends!"
Nudge wiped her eyes angrily, and glared at Abbey with my patented "Death Glare".
Then she spun on her heel and sprinted over to Iggy.
Iggy had been staring at the floor, concentrating on the sounds around him. When he heard Nudge's light step running towards him, he looked up with a confused expression on his face.
Then Nudge crashed into him, and started sobbing into his chest. He wrapped his arms around her, bewildered, as she threw her arms around his neck.
I walked back slowly, and signaled to Fang to wake up Gazzy and Angel.
When I got there Angel and Gazzy were wiping their eyes sleepily. Angel came up to me and put her hand in mine.
"Max?" Her voice was incredibly quite.
"Yeah, sweetie?"
"Are we staying here for a little bit?"
"Yeah."
Angel nodded sleepily and noticed that Nudge was crying. "Why's Nudge crying?"
Gazzy and Fang looked at me when Angel asked, clearly waiting for an answer too.
I sighed. "Why don't we go up to the rooms? We're kinda causing a scene here."
They nodded, and we walked to the stairs with Iggy, his arm wrapped securely around a sniffling Nudge, following.
A/N- Just two reviews'll do. Thanks so much! Sorry it's so short. The next chapter will be up soon!!!
