Thanks everyone! I got 1,052 hits on my other story!
Iggy POV
Well, another school, another shot, right? In Virginia, no one knew I was even blind, so when Dr. M told me that these guys knew about my 'situation,' I was jumping for joy (eyes roll).
I got up at 5:45 to get ready for school, so I got dresses in jeans, a tee shirt, and a hoodie. It doesn't matter what color they are because everything matches everything else. I went to the kitchen and made breakfast before Fang or Max were even up. I liked Dr. M's house. After we moved to her old house, she decided that it was too small for all of us, and moved to an old farmhouse in the countryside. After I did a little fixing to the technology (with a little help from Gazzy), it was pretty sweet. When the whole family came to claim their rooms, Dr. M decided to take us to Home Depot and get paint.
Flashback:
"OK guys! Pick a good color, 'cause you'll be living with it for a while." She smiled, and I heard my flock and Ella run off and look at colors.
"Iggy, aren't you gonna go look at colors… Oh, I'm so sorry!" she said after seeing me turn my head and clench my jaw. I'm blind. Yay!
"Do you want to" she lowered her voice so that only I could hear "feel the colors? We could do anything you want!" She brought her voice back up to regular.
I thought about it.
"Yeah." I finally said. "I want to splatter paint my room."
End Flashback
I finished eating my bacon and went upstairs to wake up my flock. Since we had defeated the enemy, I had taken to getting everyone up before noon. Because of this whole 'school' thing, everyone had to be up by 6, and to avoid problems, we all showered last night. I got up early… well, I don't know. I always have… since I got… well…. Blinded.
I walked up the stairs, following the railing. The first room was Fang's. I opened the door and felt the black on the walls. Black, the color I was soooo familiar with. Black. I flipped on the lights.
"Wakey Wakey Fang!" I said with false enthusiasm. "You wouldn't want to be late on your first day of school, now would we?" He shifted around, and I heard a muffled voice distinctly say these words.
"Bite me." Gasp! He used my catch phrase!
"Fang, I believe you're the one with the biting capabilities." I walked over to his bed, and grabbed his ponytail. "Get up you lazy butt!" I growled, then dropped the ponytail.
"Bye Fang… Get ready or all the bacon will be GONE!"
Fang POV
Owwch! That was my ponytail! It hurt a lot! Well, I can't resist the bacon! Lets see… Which all black outfit shall I wear today? These skinny jeans, or these skinny jeans? Ooh! This black tee shirt or this polo or this button up or this Jack the Ripper shirt? Well, the Black shirt is kinda boring, but the Jack the ripper is too gory. Both hide my wings well, though. The polo and the button up are too fancy for this. I'll go with the Black tee with the least tight jeans I own and combat boots (duh). Yeah. Emo/Goth, but not too emo/Goth.
Iggy POV
Next door was Max's room. I opened the door and touched the walls. Green, but not like a forest green, more like neon. Apparently, the ceiling of her room was high, so she could fly a little, as were everyone's, and a baby blue. I decided to be nice, because it's the first day of school, and from what Fang told me, she's kinda freaked about it.
"Hey Max… Wakey Wakey!" I said as I turned on the lights. "Ready for school?" She groaned.
"Iggy… Umm… Cough cough. I'm sick. Oh dear. Can I stay home?" She gave a nervous giggle.
"No. Get up or I'll send Gazzy in here after eating your mom's refried red beans. Do you want that?" I heard Max gulp.
"N.n.n.! I'm up!" Max sounded scared, and I heard the sound of covers and clothes being ripped off her body. "Bye Iggy! Save me some bacon!"
I got shoved out the door and into the hallway.
Max POV
Well, we don't want a bean eating Gazzy in my room, now do we, I mean he's not called 'the Gasman' for nothing, now is he? Ok Max, what to wear? So you wanna impress Fang but not make the boys drool, so what? Ooh! Skinny jeans, but not TOO skinny, my combat boots (duh!), my lime green tee shirt, and my leather jacket. I picked it up at a thrift shop while we were in Canada. It's got lots of zippers and pockets. (YAY!) Now for my daily dose of BACON!
Iggy POV
I'm in my room, just to hang for 5 minutes while I grab my 'blind gear'. I honestly don't need it, but just in case, Dr. M had bought me a retractable white stick and some sunglasses (Ray Bans, 'cause the blindy cares what he looks like). I touched my splatter painted walls and found a new color in a new place.
Guess I gotta go wake up Nudge now, everyone's favorite morning avian-human hybrid! Not.
I walked into her room. I knew it was hers because of the walls. Gosh were they fancy. Lots of shades of purple were zigzagged and striped up and down the walls. EPIC WALLS FOR THE BLINDY! Anyways, I walked over to her touched her shoulder.
"Hey Nudge! It's morning!" I said as enthusiastically possible. I can only imagine (literally) the look she must have given me. I received a grunt and the sound of covers being pulled.
"Fine," I said, trying to sound suave, like that Axe guy, "Then you'll miss the first day of school AND bacon." I turned around, then heard a voice, hoarse with sleep, call to me (Ok, that's kinda dramatic.)
"Did you say bacon?" Nudge seemed to be brightening up at the mention of school AND bacon, but mostly bacon.
"Yep, and if you don't hurry, I'll eat it all myself. Hehehe" I walked out, laughing to myself manically about devouring the rest of the flock's bacon.
Nudge POV
Was he just laughing about devouring my bacon? Uh Uh! No man eats MYYYY bacon! Ooh! First day of school! What should I wear? Umm… I want to make the boys DROOL! Not literally, but you get the picture. I got it. Ok, so I'll wear my black, high waist-ed skirt with the chains, my white blouse with the top buttons undone, and my ankle boots. I'll wear a cardigan to cover the wings. Oh yeah, I almost forgot the locket Iggy gave me. It's a pair of wings, and it holds four pictures. One is of Max and Fang, one is Iggy and I, one is Gazzy holding a burrito (don't ask.) and one is Angel and Celeste. I'm ready to be a knockout! (oh yeah. I'm also ready for some bacon)
Iggy POV
I walked into my third favorite room of the house: Gazzy's room. Want to know how I knew I was there? The faint smell of Sulfur. I know it's poisonous, but it doesn't seem dangerous to us. I flipped the lights on, opening my eyes, and letting the light reach them. It feels good, to let my eyes take in the light.
I yelled "Gazzy do you want bacon or broccoli? Answer now or you'll get broccoli instead! Do you hear me?"
Gazzy woke with a start. "Bacon!" he shouted. "Gasp (literal gasp)" He seemed to be sputtering to try and breathe,
"Dude!" Gazzy said, his voice sounding exited. "Best wake up so far!"
"I agree, little G, but seriously, bacon or broccoli?" I asked, knowing what the answer would be.
"BACON!" he shouted, then ran to the corner of the room with the most stuff in it, probably the hamper, to try and find something decent to wear.
I walked out, ready to wake up the baby.
Gazzy POV
Umm… I think I know what I'm going to wear. Camo shorts that come to mid thigh, vans, wrist bands that conceal my bomb making supplies, and my favorite shirt of all time: A tee shirt that has a little bomb graphic and says 'I can haz blow you up!' Spike my hair back, with the black spikes at the top straight up. Now, I'm off to eat my reward for getting up early.
Iggy POV
Now for Angel. She is a morning person, definitely. I walk into her room and turn on the light. I run my hands along her wall, feeling the pink on my fingertips.
"Hey baby! Wake up for the first day of school!" She shifted and I felt her breath become more regular and even.
"Morning Iggy!" I heard her sweet voice say. I smiled at her. "Celeste says good morning too!" I gave her a smile.
"Hurry up so that you aren't late for school… or the bacon." I smiled and left her room.
Angel POV
Mmm… Bacon! Well, I'm really excited about school. I'm gonna be in 4th grade! I hope it's like the school at Anne's house, except without uniforms… or Anne. Anyways, I can't decide what to wear. Hmm… I like this dress. It comes to my mid-thigh and is dark denim. Cool! Wait… Max would NEVER let me wear something like that. Ooh! I got these cute tights from Nudge for my last birthday! And I have that light blue tee shirt… with pink hi-tops! Sweet!
Iggy POV
I came down the stairs after waking my family, and found my kitchen, my precious kitchen, in chaos.
