...Don't kill me. I know I haven't been alive for a while, but I'M BACK!

It's funny actually, this whole time I had the chapters written down...I just had to type them up you know?

Iggy: That's not funny.

Well...at least Iggy is still with us.

Fang's formal part II

"Do I look okay?" Mum asked in an urgent tone, she was playing with her hair and smoothing out her dress.

I sighed "Mum you look totally young."

She looked up at me "So is this too casual?" she took a deep a breath "Oh no I should've worn the other dress! Oh Max this is a disaster he's going to be here any minute."

I stared at her seriously. My mother, my logical matured mother, was freaking out over her dress. "You look fine."

She took out a small mirror from her pocket, this shocked me. My mum was acting like a teenager and testing her lipstick in the mirror. Suddenly she stopped and took a closer look at her reflection, she gasped. "Max! My lipstick how's my lipstick?"

I took her by the shoulders and stared into her eyes. "If he really loves you, he'll accept you no matter what."

Oh Maximum...what the hell are you doing giving your mother boyfriend advice?

She nodded seriously and took my hands "You're right sweetheart. You're absolutely right."

"I am?" and then I caught myself. Act in control because your mother obviously isn't. "Yeah mum" I said pushing my shoulders back. "I'm right."

My mum looked at me. "So I look okay?"

I sighed and rubbed my forehead. "You look hip"

"I look...hip?" My mum repeated.

I laughed so hard.

"Hip...I'm hip...yes, HIP!" My mother muttered to herself as she walked towards the door. "Super hip. I'm a hot sexy mama."

And that was my cue to leave.

I walked upstairs to Ella's room because Fang was gone and I needed company. I knocked twice on the door and heard a grunt. I scrunched up my face and was about to leave when a messy haired Ella opened the door. I looked over her shoulders and saw Iggy adjusting his shirt...oh brother...that's sick.

"Hi Max" Ella smiled at me "Need anything?"

"Yes" I said still looking nervously between the lovers. EW...lovers. "Mum needs a pep talk"

"About what?"

"Boyfriends" I said rolling my eyes and sitting beside Iggy on the bed.

"Max" He growled at me. "I was having a moment."

"Yup" I said "I know all about your moment"

He straightened up nervously. "No you don't" He said.

"Uh-huh"

"Nuh-uh"

"Uh-huh!"

Ella put her hand over Iggy's mouth so that he couldn't protest against me. We were still kids at heart; I do believe we have a right to argue about insignificant matters.

"So" Ella sighed. "Is Jeb here yet?"

"No, but mum is chucking a spazz anyway."

"I see" Iggy said nodding thoughtfully.

"No you don't" both Ella and I said together. Iggy grunted at our lame blind joke and then all of us stopped at the sound of mum chucking a fit.

"Oh my god! HI Jeb! I'm so glad you could make it, this is my daughter Max and" there was a pause as she realised we weren't there. "One moment" she said. "Max, Ella, Iggy down stairs this instant!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.

Iggy sat there with a shocked face. "Since when do women scream like that?" he turned to Ella's general direction "Why can't you scream like that?" He said with a smirk.

Ella blushed and I faked being sick all over Iggy's shoes.

One by one we ventured down the stairs and greeted Jab with...well...with as much warmth as we could muster, since he was kind of causing our mother to hyperventilate in her little corner if shame.

And there you have it. My mother...is in love. Wow. It was all I could do not to shake at the thought.

Wow, I can't believe I forgot to write this at the beginning of the chapter...I feel so ashamed.

I GOT MY BIRD!

I know. Awesome. Uh huh, yeah, she kicks ass! So she's a Cockatiel, white pearl pied if any of you are interested. We named her Skye...wait for it...SKYE RIDE!

Iggy:* Yawn*

Haha, Iggy is just acting uninterested because she ate the paper we used to write our convos on. It's all deteriorated around the edges now...
