Chapter 2

We knew that we had to do our research first, before we could find the perfect island. There are surprisingly few islands that are uninhabited, large enough to build a shelter on, and having an abundance of food.

That was gonna be another problem – where and how to make sure that we had enough food. We were gonna be living in the wild, with no Burger King near by. Of course, if we found an island near the mainland, we could fly to the nearest 7 Eleven for some groceries, but that wasn't practical to do every day. We would have to hunt and fish for most of our food. Sounds like fun, doesn't it?

Of course, there were other important things that we needed before we left. That's what we were trying to figure out in our flock meeting – what to bring to our island.

"Max, can we have a water-slide?" asked Gazzy excitedly.

"Yeah, 'cause we're gonna fly a water-slide over there? Uh-uh, Gazzy. Whatever we bring, we have to be able to fly there." I said. Turning back to the sheet of paper I held.

By then we had decided on a list of the things we definitely needed:

1 First aid kit

6 Water-proof sleeping bags

Sunscreen

Insect repellent

6 Bathing suits

Soap

6 Towels

Hot weather clothing

Fishing tackle and hooks

A Swiss-army knife

A safety axe

A jacket in case it gets cold

1 collapsible lawn tent

3 collapsible cooking pots

Beef Jerky

The last entry was Fang's idea, not mine, though I don't think we could survive on an uninhabited island without it.

"So, Angel and Fang, you're in charge of buying the stuff we need. There's a Super Target north-east of us, about four miles away. Okay?" I said.

Fang grimaced, hating any kind of shopping trip.

"What? Did you want me to send Iggy?" I asked, "He already has a job".

Grumbling the whole way, he stretched out his wings and took off, joining Angel, who was already up. Their shadows passed over my face, and I shivered. It was surprisingly chilly in the pine forest we were in. Or maybe I was just me, because everyone else looked fine. Once they were completely gone, I decided to check on Iggy and Nudge. They were in charge of using Fang's laptop to find an island for us – Nudge because of her power, and Iggy because of his good ideas.

I walked over to where they were sitting. They didn't see me. Nudge had the laptop in her lap, and Iggy was sitting next to her. He was whispering in her ear, very close to her neck. She giggled and squirmed around. They both looked up and saw me standing there.

Blushing, Nudge said," Ummm……I think I found an island…"

"Ok, tell me about it later. I'm going for a quick flight." I said softly. If Iggy and Nudge liked each other, then I was just gonna let them have space. Plus, I needed some time to clear my head. I got a running start and flew into the air, whipping out my wings at the last minute. I flew high, thinking about today, the island idea, and Nudge and Iggy.

Staring at the clouds below, I wondered why I was feeling so, I don't know….flustered, about this. They had every right to be happy together. I felt lonelier than ever before at that moment. My thoughts flashed to Fang. Strong, silent Fang. He was my best friend, but lately it was different. I was feeling something way different than sisterly affection for him.

Fang's POV

Angel and I got back with the supplies, and were greeted by Nudge. She looked worried.

"What happened?" I asked.

Of course, because she was Nudge, it all poured out in a rush of words. "Well, I'm not sure what made her feel bad. She walked over and saw Iggy whispering to me. I think she thinks that we like each other. But really, he was just telling a dirty joke, and Max walked in and it was awkward. Then she took off all sad looking. What do you think that means?"

Oh no, I thought. What if Max got upset because she likes Iggy? If she likes Iggy…well, that makes the whole tell Max that I love her plan go out the window. I've liked her for a long time, but I never was able to tell her. What if I told her, and she didn't like me back? I would loose my best friend, because it would be too awkward to talk. I have to find out the truth.

"I'm gonna go find her. See if she's alright and stuff." I muttered.

Max's POV

Hot tears coursed down my face. I had no idea why I was crying. After a while, I noticed through my tears that someone was flying beside me. Crap! It could be an Eraser about to kill me and here I was crying. I swung around and in a roundhouse kick, but met only air.

I heard cursing from below me. "Damn it, Max! It's just me!"

I wiped the tears out of my eyes and looked below me at a very angry Fang. "Will you still be mad at me if I say that I'm sorry? " I asked, using bambi eyes against him.

He softened. "No, not really. I came up here to see if you were ok. Nudge said something was wrong."

"No, I'm alright. I must have gotten something in my eyes", I lied.

His eyes tightened. "Ok. I just want you to know that you can tell me anything. I'm here for you."

"Thanks, Fang. That means a lot."

"Ok, well, the flock's probably wondering where we are. We should probably head back." he said, gesturing towards the ground. He looked at my face and asked "Are you sure you're ok?"

I nodded, and dived for the ground.

Once I was back in the clearing, I checked on everyone. Angel and Gazzy were sitting by the fire, animatedly discussing whether unicorns were real or not. Iggy was cooking us a lovely dinner of ramen noodles and ketchup. (Seriously. That stuff tastes just like spaghetti.) Fang was blogging on the beat up old laptop, answering his adoring fans' comments. Nudge was sitting in a tree, flexing her beautiful speckled wings. I flew up to her tree, and sat on a branch opposite from her.

"Hey sweetie." I said

"Hey Max." she said back.

There was a companionable silence for a while, and we looked at the beautiful trees around us and listened to the forest sounds.

I looked at her again and saw a question in her eyes. "Do you have something you want to ask me?" I prompted her.

"Ummmm….yeah, kinda. I just wanted to know what upset you earlier. Was it anything I did?"

"No, sweetie. I just want feeling good, that's all."

She gave me a look that plainly said that she didn't believe me.

"If you think that I was upset about you and Iggy –" I said, only to be cut off.

"Me and Iggy what?"

"– liking eachother. That's not it. I'm totally fine with that. Really."

"Uhhhhh….where'd you get the idea that we like each other?"

"Well, when I walked in to the clearing….I don't know. And then you blushed…"

"He was just telling me a dirty joke, that's all. We're just friends. Seriously. I don't like him that way" she confided, making an ewww face.

"Oh." I said, completely dumbfounded. Ooops. I felt pretty stupid. I'd made all this unnecessary drama over nothing. Maybe I was PMS-ing….

"Dinner time, children" called Iggy sarcastically, pretending to be a mom.

My stomach growled audibly.

"Well, I'm glad that got figured out." Nudge said, hopping off the branch and landing softly on the ground. "Let's get some chow"

Dinner was really good. I had worked up an appetite today, preparing for the trip, freaking out about nothing, and crying.

Over dinner we discussed our destination. Nudge and Iggy had decided on a group of small islands near a nature park island off the coast of Australia. There was plenty of fish, small animals and game, no large predators to kill us in our sleep, and an abundance of plant life. The main island might have a few people on it from time to time – mostly park rangers, but the outlying islands were completely uninhabited, yet large enough to build shelter on. The smaller islands weren't named, but the central island was called Lady Musgrave Island. It seems perfect!

"Iggy, you would make a good mom", Fang joked.

I laughed, accidentally snorting some ramen noodles.

Fang winked at me across the circle, a sardonic grin on his face.

To avoid more embarrassment, I said loudly, "Yo. Time for bed. We've got a big day tomorrow, with a lot of miles to log. I've got first watch, Iggy's got second. Got it?"

Everyone slowly made their way to their sleeping bags, leaving me to wonder what the hell we were doing. It was gonna be a long night.
