Alright, yes I had put her name as Courtney but than one of the reviewers reminded me of Nudge's real name so I fixed it and than I fixed that one chapter so now it has her name right in all chapters.
Here's the new chapter...Not so great, just figured I'd leave you hanging on that cliffie with Nudge and I would fill you in on Max too. By the way this is like 5 days later from when Max first got too Vegas.
"Can we go see the fashion show at the mall next?"
"No, Total. Wasn't the Mamma Mia musical enough torture for the week? I think so." I replied. Yes, Total had me take him too see Mamma Mia. "But Max, it's a classic! We can't not go!" He had kept insisting. The only reason I agreed was because I hadn't let him stay at the Mirage.
It was stupid if you wanted too know. Those idiots prancing around in their frilly dresses and breaking into song every five minutes! I hated it, but I had known I would before I even saw it.
"But….We can go get some new clothes; these ones are starting too look pretty bad." I commented, but instantly regretted it. He was going too turn a quick shopping trip into a five hour shopping trip.
"Starting?" He said, looking over my clothes with disgust.
"Oh just shut up and hop in." I retorted, holding open my backpack. Total snorted in contempt but got in anyways. Zipping up the backpack two thirds of the way, I slung it over my shoulder not bothering too be gentle.
"I amvery delicate you know!" Total complained, his voice high and whiney almost like a girl really. It reminded me of the Red Headed Wonder. God, I hated that girl. The way she batted her eyelashes, her squeaky little voice, her face coated in make-up and especially the way she flirted with Fang. Ugh.
"Max? We going yet?" The Terrier asked from behind me.
"Oh yeah but we are only spending one hour there. No more but we can certainly spend less."
"But Max!"
"No buts." I muttered, sliding a room key into my pocket along with the Max Ride card. There'd probably be an ATM in the mall so we could get some cash.
It was around 11:45 when we reached the mall. Took about 15 minutes too get there in a taxi. The taxi had smelled gross. Obviously the driver was a big smoker. I had already gotten about 600 dollars from a variety of ATMs and now I was trying too figure out which store would be best for me too go to.
"Abercrombie and Fitch!" Total coughed from my backpack. I wasn't sure if it was the right store for me but the display window looked alright. Taking Total's suggestion I entered the store. First thing I noticed was the almost unbearable scent of perfume. I walked over too the girl's side and for the most part, Total just coughed out what I should grab or smacked into my back so I would pick something up. I didn't like a lot of the things he suggested but whatever. It would make him get his mind off the Flock so I would just have too live with it.
When we came out of the Abercrombie and Fitch store I had 4 shirts that I liked, 5 shirts that Total had made me buy and 2 pairs of jeans.
Personally I thought that was more than what I needed but Total insisted I needed more. So we also went too Kohl's, American Eagle and Aeropostle. You know, all of the trendy, fashionable and expensive stores. Last night I had woken up four times too hear Total crying over the Flock so I was pretty much letting him have whatever he wanted today.
It probably wasn't the best idea because by the time we got back too the hotel I had bought, 24 shirts, 6 pairs of jeans, 3 pairs of shorts, a suitcase, a pair of flip-flops, a pair of shoes, some socks and some stuff for Total. It was ridiculous but it made Total happy so I guess it was okay.
Maximum, it's time too start saving the world again.
Dun, dun, dun! The Voice was here.
What about Total? Isn't he feeling bad enough?
Don't worry Max. I didn't say you couldn't have fun in between saving the world. I'm sure Total will enjoy this one.
"Alright Total. Time too save the world." Total's smile automatically fell. "Don't worry Total. The Voice says you'll like where we are going." I tried too smile enthusiastically.
"Yeah right." He muttered, taking some clothes in his teeth and packing them into the suitcase.
All right, where too?
Barcelona, Spain. I'll give you more information once you're there.
"Okay Total, too Barcelona, Spain."
"Plane?" He asked, jumping up excitedly this time.
"Well no duh Total. What, are we going too fly across the ocean?" I asked sarcastically. "Let's get going." I said, taking over the packing job. Once we were packed, Total automatically took his place in the backpack.
We easily checked out but the bill was a little larger than I expected.
"Total, how much room service did you order when I was out for a fly that one night?"
"A lot…" He mumbled.
"Total!" I complained and people started too stare at me. "Ooops." I muttered, looking down at my feet as I left.
Alright hope you liked that one...Next one I think will be in Max's POV with a cliffie..than Iggy's POV too help you off on the cliffie from the chapter before this one. Ummm...Than I think it'll be uhh...Fang...But that's just a rough outline so...don't expect that exact outline.
OH! And...If you've seen the new Maximum Ride Final Warning, paperback it has a preview of Maximum Ride; Water Wings at the end...just a tip if you want too read the first 3 chapters..
