I've been updating much sooner now, so hopefully you guys are happy now and that this makes up for taking forever to update. Again, I might actually go past 75 chapters but not much more past, it is almost over. And the Flock is going to get Kristy and James back, so don't think I forgot about them. Here is the 73rd chapter. ENJOY!!!

Chapter 73 Pouts and Flying Food

Max's POV

"We have some scheming to do when we get home," I told the Flock. We do need to get back to Kristy and James. Who knows what they'll hit us with if we don't plan something soon.

Evil grins spread across everyone's faces at the sound of scheming. Fang had the scariest evil grin spread out across his face.

It took us a few hours to fly home, Ari transported me to somewhere in the middle of Utah. I wonder why Utah of all places.

"Fang, we are leaving come on. You can stay if you want to and then I can share a room with Max. Ohhhh, that would be so cool, can I share your room with you? Please? Your room is so cool and then we can stay up late talking and hang out all the time. Wouldn't that be…?" Gazzy slapped his hand over her mouth. Only Nudge can change subjects so quickly.

The flight home was extremely quiet and I was surprised no one asked to stop for food. It's rare that we fly this long without any kind of food, even a little snack.

"I'm hungry Max," Gazzy complained. I guess I spoke a little too soon. "Can we stop for food?" Gazzy wrapped his arms around his torso showing us that he was starving and would bug us for food until we got home.

Max turned to look at me. "How long did it take you guys to fly to Utah?"

Hmmm, I wasn't keeping track of time on the way here. "About two hours maybe three."

The cranks were turning in her head and I could see that she was calculating how long we have already been flying.

"Gazzy we should be home in about thirty minutes and I recognize this part of Arizona anyways," she turned to face him, which was a bad idea on her part.

Gazzy's eyes were huge and his lips were out in an adorable pout. At least we know where Angel gets it from. Angel's laughter interrupted my thoughts; she must have been reading my mind. A smile spread across her face indicating that my thought was correct.

"I can guarantee that mom will have a buffet of food for us when we get home," I told him but the pout stayed plastered on his face. "Do not give me that face."

He pushed his lips out more, which just made him look silly. A round of giggles slipped through my lips.

Gazzy cocked his head before he realized I was laughing at him. To make me laugh even harder, he grabbed his bottom lip and pulled it out as far as he could and then he turn his pout to a smile that showed all his front teeth.

The whole flock burst out into laughter, including Gazzy while he still held onto his bottom lip.

"So…can…we…stop?" He asked between deep breaths.

My laughter halted and I raised both my eyebrows at him, "I said no, you are going to have to wait until we get home."

"We are going to home in ten minutes," Fang told Gazzy, helping me calm him down. No one else was complaining about food, except for Gazzy.

Besides Gazzy's stomach grumbling so loudly, there was pretty much silence the rest of the way home.

As I predicted, the house wafted with the smell of freshly crisped bacon, mouth watering waffles and pancakes, and dozens and dozens of scrambled eggs. The sizzling of another batch of bacon being cooked sounded in my ears. My mouth started watering and droll spread down the crook of my neck and hit the neckline of my shirt.

"Um…Max? There is a little drool on your neck," she had trouble saying that with a straight face.

I turned away from the flock, while I heard everyone trying to stifle their laughter, and wiped off the drool and realized that I was drooling a lot.

When I turned back around, most of the Flock had their hands over their mouths.

I opened my mouth to reply to their laughter but was interrupted, have you noticed that I get interrupted a lot? "DINNER TIME!!!" Ella yelled from inside the kitchen.

Those two words set off the Flock and everyone raced to the buffet spread out across the table.

Food splattered all over the table and some of it even landed on the floor. It seemed like none of us had eaten in weeks.

"I have an idea," Iggy shouted to the table, food spewing out of his mouth and hitting Nudge right in the face.

"EWWW!!!" She screamed and started hitting the food off of her face. "Get it off," she hit the table extremely hard.

The table started to tip from the impact and Gazzy's plate fell right into his lap. Syrup running down his neck and into his shirt. A big stain showed right smack in the middle of his shirt.

CRACK!! Gazzy's plate hit the floor and broke into a million pieces. Waffles and eggs flying all over the floor.

"What a mess," mom yelled once all of the chaos died down.

The walls were covered with syrup and chunks of waffles. Bacon was smeared all over the floor and we were all sticky from the syrup. The broken plate was joined by a couple of other plates that were dropped.

"Um…sorry about that," Angel was the first one to break the silence.

With all sixteen of our hands, the kitchen was spotless in no time. It was hard to believe that there was ever a mess in that kitchen, well besides the fact that we were all still covered in bacon, waffles, pancakes, eggs and syrup. Well…we were mostly covered in syrup. The sticky goop stuck the front of my shirt to my skin. Syrup also covered my thighs; don't ask how it got in my pants. Nudge's hair was spiked up with syrup, courtesy of Gazzy and Iggy. We all looked so silly.

A round of laughter sounded throughout the kitchen and it took a while to realize how silly we all looked. A waffle was sticking out the top of Ella's shirt, my mom had bacon chunks all over her hair, it seemed like she had on a bacon wig.

We all raced to the showers, shoving past each other to get in a shower first, everyone but mom that is.

"What were you trying to say earlier…," I asked Iggy after everyone had washed up. "…before we were interrupted." Everyone burst out with another round of laughter. Tears were running from our eyes and we had trouble catching our breaths once the laughter died down.

"Well…the dinner we had kind of gave me the idea."

Hope you guys liked that chapter, it was more of a filler but I hope it was good anyways. Thanks for all of the reviews.
