Max, Fang, and Iggy all sat at the 'dinner' table, Watching and listening out the window, to make sure that Gazzy Angel and Nudge were okay.
Children's laughter could be heard coming from outside as the youngest of the Flock played. They were splashing in the mud, covering each other in dirt and grime as they laughed.
"Should we go out there and disturb their fun?" Iggy said, listening hard as the kids played and they supervised.
"I wouldn't." Fang said, softly.
"Well, it's get dark. It's harder to watch out after them in the dark..." Max said.
Suddenly everyone thought what Max was thinking: Erasers; School; kidnapping.
"Let's get them inside and washed up." Iggy and Fang said at the same time. They both got up and started to the door.
"Okay, I guess, even though I'm the leader, you guys can decide." Max said, standing up and putting her hand on her hips.
Bothing boys looked at her and hung their heads, "Sorry Max."
She grinned, "Good I still have me leadership powers. I don't care, you should know that. But get them inside. It's hitting eight, and the suns starting to go down.... Than's a bad thing." Max said, before walking out of the room, to start bathwater for Nudge.
Both boys looked at each other and smiled, "Okay then." they both said, shrugging. They both got through the door and called "Nudge, Angel, Gazzy, Max said it's time to come in!" They called, As three very brown children ran up to them.
"Hun...gry!!!!" Nudge said, more out of breath then struggling to speak. She was grinning ear to ear, and her cheeks, from what Iggy could tell, were flushed and rosy.
"Nudge found a really deep mud puddle farther away from the house and tomorrow, if you and Max say yes, can we all go play in it?" Angel squealed, literally hopping in excitement.
"I don't care, but you'll have to get Max's approval. She's really tight about the leader thing right now... She thinks that we got too used to be the leaders..." Iggy said, grinning a little.
"You did." Gazzy said, running up, his blond hair roughly mopped into a mo-hawk with mud. He grinned at Fang when he saw the look on Fang's face about his hear. "Now if I could get it to say like this all the time!" He exclaimed, laughing.
"Sure..." Angel said, hitting his shoulder as she walked through the front door of the house. Behind her, Nudge, Iggy, Fang and Gazzy followed.
Max suddenly appeared in the living room, smiling. "Nudge, I filled up the bathtub for you." She said, smiling.
"But I'm the one that gets the bath first!!!" Angel pouted.
"But Nudge is handicapped." Max said, as a comeback.
"Oh fine." Angel pouted again, trying to use her manipulating power on Max.
"Not going to work. Though you look cute with that concentrated face on." Max commented, escorting Nudge out of the room. "Iggy, while I'm helping Nudge in the bath, can you start on dinner?" She said, in a sweet voice.
"Sure." Iggy said, disappearing behind her, but down a different hallway.
"Okay, and Angel, can you clean off Nudge's bed?" Max asked, still in a sweet, kinda motherly voice.
"Sure!" Angel said, grinning ear to ear.
"And Fang, can you clean the 'dinner' table? We haven't used it in a while." Max said.
"Okay." FAng said, following Iggy.
Max lastly, turning to Gazzy. "Go wash your hair in the bathroom in my room. It's disgusting." Max requested.
"Fine." Gazzy pouted, but went anyway.
"Okay, And Nudge, sweety, come with me." Max smiled, as she escorted her to the bathroom.
