A/N: Because I like funny and random violence… I present to thee a love-aly story!
Enjoy!
Fang's POV
The flock and I walked to the party for the Congress people. Since the whole thing is presidential and related to government or whatever, we had to wear fancy-shmancy clothes. Whoopee! (Note the sarcasm.) Iggy, the Gasman, and I were wearing some pretty gay tuxedos. Nudge and Angel wore some lacey dresses with bows. They both curled their hair into little ringlets. Max looked very different. She wore a silk royal blue halter dress that made her look really hot. (Scratch the last couple words. My mind is playing tricks on me.) Her wings were sticking out. The good news is that all the Congress people are used to the wings and she would be able to go 'up and away' if necessary. Anyway, she looked… different from her usual tough self.
We walked through the doors of the big ballroom and just gawked at it stupidly. We could fly around it easily without hurting any of the guests!
"Fang!" said a voice I knew all too well.
"Hey Brigid!" I called turning to see the twenty-one year old scientist running to me with a big grin. She wrapped her arms around me and squeezed. I hugged her back but let go when I felt uncomfortable. I chanced a glance at Max. She had flushed cheeks and was looking at the ground. I smiled to myself. It's fun making people jealous…
"You look nice," I complimented Brigid, observing her flaming red strapless tube dress.
"You too!" Brigid giggled like a flirting idiot, "You look so…. Personable."
Before I could respond, Max did something unpredicted. She shoved me aside and away from Brigid and she stabbed her high heel into Brigid's foot. I winced when I heard Brigid shriek and saw her rub her foot. She gave Max a deadly glare and she pulled something out of her handbag, her eyes still locked on Max.
She then pulled out a… taser?! Not good. Max's eyes widened with surprise and she got into her famous fighting stance.
"You keep a taser in your purse?" Max asked incredulously.
"You'd be surprised by what I have in my purse," Brigid snarled back, " I don't think your cool avian hybrid powers can save you from an electric shock, you jealous freak!"
Ha! Brigid was gonna get it.
"Jealous?" Max asked quietly, "I'm not the one holding a taser to get another freak."
I smirked. I guess I can be freakish every once in a while but no need to broadcast it.
"Come on, freak!" Brigid yelled at Max, "Don't be a chicken!"
Max lunged at Brigid and knocked her to the ground. Brigid screamed furiously and shocked her. Max hopped off Brigid quickly and stumbled around. Brigid stood up awkwardly and cackled. Brigid has joined the dark side…
Max and Brigid chased each other around the ballroom, cutting in between groups of Congress members. The flock and I just stood in place and casually watched the fight. Eventually, Nudge stomped in between Max and Brigid and held up her hands.
"You guys are so immature!" Nudge shouted at them, "You don't fight at a professional, civilized gathering of Congress… You have a dance off!"
They just stared at her open mouthed. Angel nodded in agreement and stalked off toward the violinist, playing some screechy song from prehistory. She grabbed the violin out of the man's hands with super speed and threw it across the hall at the wall where it smashed into a billion pieces.
"Hey Gazzy!" she yelled, "Do you have that CD?"
"Yah!" the Gasman answered. He dug inside his tuxedo pockets and found his old CD with rap songs on it. He tossed it to Angel, who stuck the CD in a CD player.
"Alright everybody: clear the dance floor! We have a dance off!" Angel announced. "Right Round" by Flo Rida started playing and I cracked my face with one of my rare smiles that Max likes… I think.
All the adults looked pretty confused and backed away to the far ends of the ballroom. The flock backed up with them and only Brigid and Max were on the dance floor. They looked at me with longing and I just shrugged my shoulders and followed the flock to the back.
Brigid was first. She stepped forward and did a really lame disco move. Max stepped up nervously and...
