Me: Valentine, can you do the opening please?
Valentine: Sure! Luna doesn't own the MR characters JP does. She also doesn't onw any stores mentioned in this chapter.
Me: Thanks sweetie! Has anyone ever told you how adorable and pretty you are?
Valentine: Awww, thanks!
Valentine's POV
"Valentine! Can you go to the mall and get some clothes for us?" I smiled. Max rarely asks for clothes so it's funny when she does.
"Sure Max!" I come out of my bedroom and walk downstairs.
"Here's some money, but don't go crazy with it like you did last week." I laughed. Last week I had gotten $100 to spend on clothes and I went over by about $50.
"I won't. Promise!" and I walked out the door. I took a running start and snapped my wings out around me. They weren't as long as Max's wings, but they were really pretty. They were a ruby red with specs of black in places. I sometimes think that's why I'm named Valentine; cause red is for Valentine's Day.
By now I had reached the mall so I flew over the woods and dropped down. I walked inside and looked at the shop directory. I've been here millions of times, but I always go to one store, so I'm going to see what other stores they have. I studied the board, my face serious with concentration.
"You should go to Old Navy. It's really cool." The girl made me jump, but I quickly recovered.
"Yea, I've never been there."
"They have some good jeans." Max told me not to trust people, so I lied to her.
"Yea, I wish I could go, but I've got to stop by Starbucks." Well, it wasn't a total lie; I needed some coffee.
"O, ok. Well stop by later!" I watched as she walked off and joined a group of friends. She's weird. Who walks up to a random person and starts talking? Whatever; let her be weird.
I walked over to the Starbucks stand and grabbed a coffee plus some extra for Max and Hunter. Well, I might as well go to Old Navy; I haven't been there in a while. I walked over and started picking out shirts and putting them in a basket. Finally after getting 10 shirts, 5 pairs of jeans, and a headband, I walked up to the cash register.
"I'm ready to check out." The lady looked at me.
"Is your mom with you?" Max told me that they might ask this.
"She's waiting in the car for me, but she said to hurry." I smiled sweetly.
"Ok" and she started to check out items. Finally she gave me the total.
"$110.00." Crap; Looks like I'll have to charge on Max's card.
"Here's 100 and you can charge the rest to a credit card." She eyed me suspiciously for a second.
"Do you have the credit card?"
"No."
"The number?"
"No." She started frowning.
"Do you have anything?"
"Yes, I have the name."
"I'm sorry, but I need something besides the name." I frowned. Crap; the name always works.
"Well all I have is the name. Can't you just like look it up or something?" Now I was getting mad.
"Fine. I'll try. What's the name?"
"Max Ride." I heard someone gasp quietly behind me. I chose to ignore it.
"I'm sorry, I don't see a credit card under that name." now I was really mad.
"Look; You did something wrong. Now just fix it and charge it to the card!" Just then I heard someone walk up to me. Probably security; I looked for all the exits.
"Hey! You decided to come!" Crap; just what I needed. The weirdo girl.
"Yea, can I talk to you in a sec?" I looked back at the lady.
"Just find the card! It's on there! I used it the other day!"
"Do you need help?" I turned to her. Only if you could find that card.
She smiled. I can do better.
"Angel! Come here!" A little girl walked over and the other girl told her something. She looked at the cashier and said something I could hear. I heard something like "Don't..card..forget." The lady smiled at me and handed me my bag.
"Um, thanks" I looked at the girls.
"And thank you. I owe you." She smiled.
"I overheard you say you knew Max?"
"Yea, why?"
"We're old friends of hers and we wanted to see her."
"O, but to be on the safe side, could you describe her?" I didn't want to bring people Max didn't know to the house; I'd be dead before dinner.
"Sure. She's got blonde hair, really sarcastic, and she has a necklace with a ring on it."
"That's her. Come on, let's go."
"Just hold on a sec. My friends are her friends too, and their here right now. Just give me a sec to go get them." She and the other girl walked off. That's weird. Max never seemed to mention her past. I saw her come back with her "friends". They were a weird bunch. There was a little boy who looked a lot like the girl who said something to the lady, another boy who had blonde hair, but he was walking caustiouslly; probably blind. The last boy screamed dark. He was wearing black jeans, shirt, and had black hair. He had a slight bump on his head, but it looked like it was quickly healing. But I could tell one thing about them; they could fly. It's this thing when someone walks. They either hunch or lean from the weight of the wings. The girl who talked to me walked up.
"Hey, these are my friends: Fang, Angel, Gazzy, Iggy, and I'm Nudge." I almost snorted but stopped myself. What kind of names were those? Angel; I saw how that was her name. Her golden ringlets formed a halo around her head and she was so sweet and innocent looking.
"Let's go." I walked outside and into the woods. I took a running start and spread my wings. I turned around and saw that the little kids were shocked before flying after me.
"Ohmigosh! Why didn't you tell us you could fly! We can too!" As the house came into view I landed.
"This is my our house!" I saw them all gape.
"This is like a castle!"
"I know right!"
I opened the door and heard Max from the kitchen.
"Valentine, is that you?"
"Yea Max! I brought some people with me! They said they knew you and they helped me!"
"Ok, I'm coming!" I saw that the tall boy looked a little sad, and everyone else was either smiling or sad. I saw Max come in and gasp.
Max's POV
I was going to have to have a talk with Valentine about bringing people home. As I walked in the front hall I gasped. My old flock was there.
"How dare you come into my house!"
Fang smirked, or , half smirked.
"Technically, we were invited." That was it. I let out a scream of anger before I lunged.
Who did Max lunge at? Review to find out!
