Mood: Awesome!
Listening to: 'One More Night' by Maroon 5
It took Max a good five minutes to dislodge Nudge's spoon from the wall. Her mom walked in by the time Nudge had finished eating the pudding with said spoon. Nudge ran up to her with Angel in tow, Ella stood back slightly. Nudge had the newest magazine behind her back, opened to about the middle of the issue. Max rolled her eyes and left the kitchen, assuming her sisters wanted to ask for the new 'cute' swimsuits that they had been talking about earlier. Max went up to her room to put on some pants so she didn't hear what Nudge said but she did hear her mom reply when she came back down.
"You know, girls, I think that would be a great opportunity for all of you. I'll go make the phone call now."
Max heard Nudge and Angel cheer and then enter the living room with Ella. She walked in after them. Dr. Martinez walked off to her office to make the phone call.
"Girls," Max all but growled, trying her hardest to keep her voice friendly. It didn't work in the least and the three quickly backed up, Nudge farther than the others. "What did you talk Mom into signing us up for?"
Angel hugged her dog, Total, closer and looked to Nudge, who stammered incoherently before looking to Ella.
"Don't look at me!" Ella complained. "I told you she would freak out."
Max sighed. "Just someone tell me and get it over with," she said too calmly.
"I thought they had a great idea," Dr. M said as she walked back in.
"Well can I hear the idea, Mom? So I can judge its goodness for myself," Max asked.
Her mom smiled happily and exclaimed, "You're all going to be models!"
"What!?" Max yelled. "Who in their right minds would think I would want to be a mode? I have wings, hate make up, and oh yeah what am I forgetting… I HAVE FRICKIN' WINGS!" Max glared at everyone and Total ran from the room with his tail in between his legs.
"Come on Max," Ella coaxed. "It won't be that bad. We could get you, Angel, and Nudge fitted for covers for your backs to hide your wings.
"Oh, like that's going to solve everything," Max said sarcastically. "Our wings are going to cramp. What are we going to do about that? We can't just fly out around there like we do here."Max was still glaring at everybody.
Angel looked down and muttered, "Oh, we didn't think of that…"
"Oh don't worry about that, my old friend Alfred is great at sewing costumes. I'll take the measurements and send them in to him," Dr. M told the girls.
"Fine," Max huffed, "Just know I'm not happy about this." Everyone relaxed now that Max was on board. "Now if you excuse me," Max said and then walked out the door and unfurled her wings, "I need some air." She launched herself into the sky and took off towards the sea. Max used her super speed and shoot off like a rocket. She lost track of time from the high of flying and before she knew it there was nothing but water for miles.
"Oops. Guess I should head back now," Max spoke aloud, her head feeling clearer.
ZOMG-WHAT'S-THIS-?-THE-ALL-EXCITING-BREAK-LINe-OF-COURSE
Fang cleaned up the explosion in the kitchen before Jeb got home so he wouldn't be mad. He set the garbage bag near the door and checked on what Gazzy and Iggy were doing. After the explosion, Fang had banished them to the family room. The two sat on a couch looking over a girls' magazine. Fang didn't even know where they got one but at least they weren't watching 'My Little Pony' again. If Fang ever heard the Cutie Mark Crusaders song again... he was going to shoot something.
It's mid-May so it must be a swimsuit issue, Fang thought to himself as he grabbed the trash to take it outside. Just in time too because Jeb had just pulled up in the driveway.
When Fang got back inside he saw Jeb nodding at a question Iggy or Gazzy had just asked. "Okay," Jeb said.
"Yes!" Gazzy and Iggy cheered and then proceeded to do a happy dance that would scar Fang for the rest of his life.
"What did you tell them yes to?" Fane asked Jeb, moving his eyes away from his crazy brothers.
"It's what I approved for all of you to do," he said with a smile on his face, clearly pleased about it.
Fang groaned internally and then asked, "What exactly got approved?" Despite the emotionless mask on his face, his voice implied that he was ready for murder.
"Calm down Fang," Jed said, "You're just going to be models."
"We have wings? How do you expect us to hide them? Who in their right mind would sign us up to be models, of all things, in the first place?" Fang barely raised his voice but Gazzy was already on the other side of the room to avoid his older brother's wrath. "Oh wait, you're not in your right mind Jeb, so why do I even ask?" Fang turned around and stormed out the door.
"Let's be reasonable, Fang!" Jed hollered after him. "We can talk through this!"
"No," Fang growled. He ran all the way to the barn and got on his dapple gray horse. He was in too much off a mood to saddle him so Fang rode off on Tug bareback. It took only five minutes to reach to cliff that the boys loved diving off of. Fang got off of his horse and tore of his jacket and jumped. He opened his wings at the last second, just reveling in the adrenalin high. A smirk spread across his face as he flew towards the ocean. He stayed out to watch the sunset before it dawned on him just how long he'd been gone.
Damn, Fang thought to himself before turning around.
So yeah, I named Fang's horse after my favorite fictional horse, Tug, from Ranger's Apprentice. And Dr. M's old friend, Alfred, is the most amazing and awesome butler in the history of forever and he's from Batman.
Review and tell me about your first day of school! Even if, like me, your fist day of school was a while ago. :)
