Hey guys. I'm feeling very inspired so today I wrote this chapter and the next one. But I think I'll wait a little while to post the next one. I hope you like the way this is going. Any criticism or ideas are welcome. There is a lot of Fax in this chapter, tell me if it's too much. Just anything regarding the story would be great. I love reveiws and if one day you just want to slash my entire story, and tell me how to make it better, just go ahead and pm me. Thank you lots for the reveiws! I AM EXTREMELY happy to announce that I am doing much better. I got another inhaler a few days ago, and it has helped tremendously. :)

Disclaimer: Me and JP are still negotiating a price.

Max POV

Fang walked out of the gloom that hung about the woods and came to stand beside us. "Okay, guys. U & A ." I said. Total hopped up into Iggy's arms. We ran at the trees, and just before we hit them, our wings snapped out and carried us high above the forest, and as we gained altitude, everyone seemed to burst into excited conversation at once. Iggy and Gazzy were a little envious of Fang's new talent. They were listing the many bomb-related things he could use it for.

" Just think of the possibilities. At the very least, you would never need a lighter to ignite fuses." Iggy said, smiling.

"You are so lucky, Fang." Gazzy told him. Fang didn't say anything. He seemed to still be thinking about it himself. I remembered how getting my recently-new power had been. The whole thing was quite overwhelming, and insanely exciting. I was happy for Fang, knowing how happy he must be right now.

We had been flying for almost twenty minutes now. I glanced at my watch. "Ok, it's 2:37 right now. It'll take us about thirty, maybe forty minutes to get back to the hotel. That should put us back around three. Any ideas on what you guys wanna do the rest of the day?"

Of coarse that sent everyone into excited uproar again, and I couldn't make out the separate voices. Laughing I said, "Guys, I'm sure you all have great ideas, but one at a time, please." Everyone was silent for a moment then Nudge said cheerily, "We could go shopping some more!"

"No!" Gazzy and Iggy said in unison.

"I think we've had enough of that today Nudge, but maybe another day." She nodded at me, and Gazzy said, "We should go to Italy!"

"Whoa Gazzy! Let's try to limit it to this state! We don't have time to go to Italy this afternoon and be back before bed." He seemed to think about this for a moment, then said, "Well the hotel has TV. That sounds good to me. And we can rest our wings." I nodded. "That is an option. Iggy?"

"Whatever Gazzy wants is fine with me." Gazzy beamed at him, and even though he couldn't see it, Iggy seemed to know. He returned Gazzy's smile.

Total spoke up. "I don't want to sit around. I've been sitting still all day in that bag."

I sighed. " We'll see Total. How 'bout you Fang?" Predictably, he shrugged. Angel spoke up for the first time, " I saw a pool at the hotel. There weren't many people at the hotel last night and I don't think there'll be any when we get there. "

"Oh yeah!" Nudge and Gazzy said. Total and Iggy nodded. "Ok. That is a good idea, Angel. If there's nobody there, that sounds good to me."

There was another chorus of 'yeahs!' among the little kids and I smiled.

At the hotel.

We landed behind the hotel and walked around to the doors.

"Nope! There's nobody here except the receptionist Max." Angel said. We opened the doors and saw the front desk. There, behind it, the receptionist sat in an office chair, sound asleep. We all shared a smile and quietly made our way up to our suite. I slid the plastic card in the slot, and the green light flashed. I opened the door for my flock and they all spread out to the bedrooms. I followed Fang to ours and shut the door behind me.

Tossing the bags down, I walked over to the bed and plopped down, closing my eyes. I felt the bed beside me sink, and I opened my eyes to see Fang laying beside me, our feet dangling off the side. "So." I said.

He smiled at me. "You have no idea how cool it feels."

I smiled back at him and he said, "It's like you're on fire, but you're not. It just feels awesome." "It doesn't hurt?"

"Nope." He said simply.

"So...It's like your really hot, but it doesn't hurt, and it feels awesome?" I mused.

"Yeah." He said his grin getting wider.

"Kind of like a kiss?" I asked him. Suddenly he grew serious, and he slowly angled his face closer to mine. I met him halfway and our mouths collided gently. Very slowly, I began to move my lips and his followed. After a while we broke apart for air, breathing heavily and looking surprised. He smiled widely and whispered, bringing his face back close to mine, "Something like that."

Smiling I towed myself off the bed and fished around in my bag for that red bikini I had bought earlier today. Finding it, I stood up and turned to look at Fang. He glanced at what I had in my hand and, still smiling, he raised one eyebrow. I laughed and walked over to shove him off the bed. He landed on the floor with a thump and his laughter sounded like music.

He got up to push me back, but I ran to the bathroom shutting the door on him, almost smashing his fingers. Still laughing I paused to catch my breath and told Fang, "Go get your bathing suit on." I didn't hear a response, so I undressed and but it on.

I listened intently for a moment and didn't hear anything. "Fang?" I said as I tentively opened the door a crack. Seeing nothing I straightened up and opened the door wider. I walked over to the bed, when strong arms grabbed me from behind. I screamed and kicked my attacker.

I was released and turning around, I saw Fang crouched on the floor, head down, hands between his legs. "Oh Fang!" I said collapsing on the floor in front of him. "Im sor-" But that was all I got out, because he snapped his head up and pecked my lips. That little... "FANG!"

Laughing, he backed away as I swung a fist in his direction. The second time I didn't miss and I punched him in the arm, knocking him down, back against the floor.

"Ow!" He said. And as I got on my hands and knees and leaned over him, one fist raised he held up his hands in surrender, still laughing. I relaxed and put my hands on the floor, his head laying between them. I then noticed that his chest was bare, and that I was in fact pinning him to the floor while we were in bathing suits, half naked. Embarrassed I jumped up and walked to the door.

Angel POV

We got to our suite and, I walked to our room with Nudge. We plopped our bags down, and got our bathing suits out. Nudge and I had found an entire rack of swim suits that were on sale earlier today.

Total trotted through the door and jumped up on the bed. "Did anyone buy me a bathing suit?" He said sullenly. "Total! You can't wear a bathing suit!"

"I know," he said. "But it's the thought that counts."

"That's silly, Total." Nudge told him and then we made him leave so we could change.

We walked out of the room to find Total sitting on the couch beside Iggy and Gazzy. Iggy's swim trunks were red with black flames, and Gazzy's were blue with black flames.No surprise there.

"Where's Max and Fang?" Nudge asked. Just then I heard Max's laugh from their bedroom. I turned to look in that direction. Then I heard a dull thump, and Fang's laughter followed.

I looked over at Iggy, who's eyes went wide when he heard it, too. His lips were pressed in a tight line to keep from laughing. Nudge giggled and Gazzy looked confused. Wanting to stay out of Iggy's head I distracted myself by talking with Nudge.

"I'm so glad I bought this one instead of the purple one." I told her gesturing down to the pink one-piece I was wearing.

"Oh yeah. I like that one a lot more." She told me nodding. "How do you like this one on me?" She asked and pointed to the turquoise tankini she was wearing. It offset her brown skin and looked beautiful. I told her that and in no time at all we were annoying Iggy and Gazzy to death with our chatting. Talking with Nudge always made the time pass faster.

Max came out of her room then, followed by Fang.

Max POV

I opened the door, and I heard Fang's light footsteps behind me. Everyone was waiting for us in the small living room and with a stab of embarrassment I realized that they might have heard everything. Iggy was grinning from ear to ear and I took that as a confirmation.

Ignoring him I said, "Ok who's ready to go swimming?"

"Me!" Angel, Gazzy, and Nudge said together.

They ran past me over to the door, and Iggy and Fang stayed behind me. I heard Iggy say to Fang, "Hey, you are getting pretty lucky today."

He laughed as Fang shoved him forward, which out him closer to me. I whirled and was about to punch him, but he caught my fist in mid-air, still laughing.

"Grr, Iggy!" I growled and followed after the kids over to the pool, hearing Iggy and Fang roar with laughter.

(A/N) There it is, I'll have the next chapter up soon! R&R
