I have been asked by a few people to continue this so I'll try and see if it works out.

Later that day after my little blowup I was sitting in the room of the hotel sweet that Nudge and I shared. I felt bad about trying to strangle Fang though. Maybe it was a little unnecessary.

"Knock knock."

I looked up and saw Fang leaning against the door to my room. I didn't say anything but he read my eyes and came and sat down next to me anyway.

"I'm sorry." He said

I was surprised to hear bitterness in his voice. If anything I should be saying sorry but that's not something I say very often.

"Apology accepted." I replied stiffly.

He sighed heavily and put his hands behind his head and leaned back so that his head was resting on my pillow. Automatically I stiffened and scooted away from him. How did we get like this I thought to myself as I rubbed the promise ring that I still wore on my finger.

I saw Fang eyeing it probably wondering why I still wore it. Sometimes even I wondered why I still wore it. All his promises had been broken.

"How did we get like this?" Fang said voicing my thoughts from before.

I just shrugged.

"Max can I ask you something?" he asked.

"Sure." I said quietly.

"Are you actually going to go to Germany with Dylan?"

I was silent for a moment. I hadn't expected him to ask something like that. Something that I hadn't thought about and didn't have an answer for.

"No," I replied, "well not soon anyway." I got up off the bed and left. When I was out the door I stopped and looked through the small space where I had left the door open a crack.

Fang had sat up and he ran his hands down his face tiredly. He just sat there with his head hanging for a few minutes before he got up and kicked the wall in anger.

It gave me some satisfaction that I was putting him through this. But I was also ashamed because I loved someone and when you love them you shouldn't want to cause them pain.

We all went out for Pizza later, and I still avoided Fang, but I was surprised to find that everyone was getting along okay. Well almost everybody. Iggy just sat there and stayed quiet. Afterwards when we went to get ice cream I pulled him aside to talk.

"Iggy what's up with you?" I asked.

"Nothing." He replied solemnly.

"I took a closer look at him but he seemed fine. Maybe he was just becoming anti- social. The rest of the night went fine but when I got in bed with nudge sleep wouldn't come. I guess I was keeping Nudge awake because after an hour of tossing and turning she asked me if I wanted to go out flying for awhile.

"Yes!" I said suddenly relieved. So she and I got dressed and jumped out the window to fly.

I looked over at Nudge and she was smiling while the wind whipped her wild hair around her face. I smiled too; flying was one of the best things in the world.

"Do you want to land?" I asked her after awhile. She nodded and we started to descend.

We landed near where we had Pizza earlier that night. Nudge Looked around at all the shops and restaurants that were there.

"Max can we go see a movie? That new one about smurfs came out and I really want to see it! Because we never ever get to see movies! Not that I'm complaining or anything because we've been really busy helping you save the world and stuff so-" I cut off Nudge's insane rambling by slapping my hand over her mouth.

One little issue we had was that we were broke and I had to sneak in to the movie. But it was all okay. I watched nudge as she bounced up and down in her seat getting excited.

"Nudge I love you." I said suddenly. It was true, I didn't tell the flock how much I loved and cared about them nearly enough. They were the only family I had.

"I love you too Max." she said and leaned over to hug me, "You're so much better than any normal mother ii could have had. I'm glad I'm a bird-kid." She told me. Wow that was a change in attitude from the kid who wanted to get her wings chopped off a few months ago.

But just as the movie started I caught sight of a tall boy with shaggy black hair and an oversized windbreaker sitting five rows away from us.

Fang.

Please review and tell me if I should continue or what you think of it. Because this is no longer a one-shot! Woo!
