Higher...higher...higher!
Her eyes watered as she increased her speed. The wind rushed past her in a streamline of air. The clouds above her seemed to be so close! And the sun was to her left as she felt its heat rays. Max pushed on as it got slightly colder in the atmosphere. She smile slightly as she shot upwards.
"Urk!" She yelped as she was shocked from all the anklets and the thick collar on her neck as well as the ones on her bony wrists. It had started out tingling and Max ignored it, wanting to go as high as she possibly could. But now it was too much to bear.
She slowed her ascent and curved around to face the ground. Almost sighing, she dropped down another thousand feet like a feathered bullet. She slowed down at two thousand feet and began to slowly descend to the ground. Max landed lightly and did a few stretches to her wings upwards.
"That sounded pretty cool, Max," Iggy smiled.
She jumped then cleared her throat modestly. "Nah, it was nothing."
He stretched his own wings and sent her a gentle breeze. She laughed and sent him a big breeze with her wings. Iggy staggered slightly and only grinned, snapping his wings harder at her. Max took off into the air yet again and laughed.
"Oh no you don't," Iggy took off into the air and listened for her carefully.
"Boo!" Right next to his ear.
"Gah!" He jumped in the air as she did laughing summersaults in the air.
"Gotcha!" Max shouted teasingly.
Iggy snorted and did a swooping circle around her, winding tighter and tighter until she shot up again. He followed her and grabbed her ankle, yanking her down again and twirling her in the air. He let go of her, sending her sprawling through the airspace disorientated.
"Iggy!" Max shouted threateningly. "I'll get you!"
"Not if I get you fiiiirrrrst!" Iggy called back with his hands cupped around his mouth.
Nudge idly played with Angel's hair. "What do you think those two are doing right now?"
"I don't know," Angel shrugged, ignoring their screaming thoughts of battle inside their heads from outside. "Maybe they're training or something."
"I wonder..." Nudge sighed.
"Me too," she smiled innocently.
