Leftover Alphabet Soup
A/N: So it's been a while since I've written anything un-Max Ride-related. Well, TOO BAD, SUCKAHS, 'cause I'm here to stay. For now, anyway. I hope I get this fic right; it's been twenty-something days since I updated anything.
-looks back at that statement shaking head in disgust-
Oh, God, I have fucked-up priorities.
Disclaimer: I know you thought I was James Patterson, but surprisingly, I'm NOT. I don't own any of this. –jaw drop-

"Fang," Max called before she entered the bathroom in the mall. Fang trotted over from where he, Gazzy, and Iggy were waiting while the girls went.
"Get us a funnel cake, 'kay?"
Fang looked at Max. "…What?" he finally said.
"Get us a funnel cake. You know, one of those big, sugary ones?" Max used hand gestures to demonstrate.
"Why?"
"Because I said so, Fang," Max said, and then darted into the restroom with the girls. Fang resignedly slouched off to the food court.
When he returned to the rest of the flock, Nudge and Angel had persuaded Max and the others to let them wander about the mall. Together, of course, as Max had insisted.
It actually ended up that Iggy and Gazzy decided to go to a hardware store, where they were instructed not to buy anything, and for the love of God to NOT SET OFF ANY ALARMS. This left Fang, who could care less about hardware, with the girls.
Where did Angel and Nudge want to go first? Limited Too. Of course. Fang looked back in the direction of the hardware place, regretting his choice.
"Hey!" Max called from the entrance of Hell. "Come on! You've gotta help me rein in the girls!"
"So they can't buy any fancy new clothes, eh?" Fang asked, striding into the store.
"We can not afford to carry anything else, Fang," Max replied.
"Why? They can wear clothes on their backs."
"Because I said so!" Max stomped away to where Nudge was trying to enter a fitting room carrying at least twenty articles of clothing.
Fang sighed and began to tail Angel.
After another hour in Not-So-Limited Too, Iggy and Gazzy joined up with the rest of the flock, and they picked up Total and Akila. (The dogs had been left in the park. Usually, this would not settle with Total, but Akila was there, so there was no need to fear mutilation.)
Max held Total in her arms and Iggy had Akila, but right before the flock took off, Angel's shoe magically became untied. Max immediately turned to Fang.
"Hold Total, will ya?"
Fang took the dog, but not without an unnecessary "Why should I, oh leader?"
Max grabbed Fang by the shirt collar. "BECAUSE I SAID SO," she said through gritted teeth, and then bent down to tie the bungled laces.
"Whipped," Iggy muttered to Fang.
"Shut up," Fang growled back as they finally became airborne.
"Why?" Iggy snidely asked.
"Because I said so, dammit!"
A/N: Oh my god, the failure is crushing me. The end was obvious, the entire premise boring. It's obvious that I should not write past midnight. What a way to debut my part of this fic. Wait… I mean… re-debut… or something… whatever.
Tassel, you've got C is for Chivalry this weekend.
