A/N: wow. I feel horrible. I haven't written in forever. I know I promised a long, actioney chapter, but that would take a couple more days to post. So please excuse me for putting up this short, sucky, filler chapter for right now. Also, I want you guys to have a say in this. When should I start having a little romance? I don't want it to be too quick, but if you want it sooner I can try to comply. Also, I'm planning on following the books, like including when Angel gets kidnapped and when Max gets the voice, but I'm only including important parts. Ok? Without further ado, tiny sucky filler chapter!

Cali POV:

For the next couple of days, life went on as normally as possible. We eat,we sleep, we talk, we laugh, we goof off. Nothing really happens. This weird, freakish life with wings is actually more relaxing than the one I used to live. All was happy and peaceful. Until, that is...

Gazzy asked if we could play Life. You know, the board game one with the little people in the cars? Well, Angel and Nudge both wanted to play too, so Max went and dug the game out of the hall closet, blowing dust off it as she walked back in.

As you may know, the game comes with six cars. And there were seven of us. Everyone immediately touched their noses, saying "Not it!"

"Cali loses!" Gazzy exclaims.

They all do the nose thingie again to see who has to be on my team. For some reason, Iggy doesn't even bother to try and beat out the others. Instead, he moves towards me and sits on the couch beside me.

We select a car (the white one) and the game begins.

"That was my Life tile! Give it back you son of a b****!" Max shouts at Fang, legitimately twelve seconds later.

"That wasn't yours that was mine!" he shouts back.

"Guys it doesn't matter! Can't we all try to play without fighting or at least be in the same room together without an argument starting I mean you seriously need to have me as one of your role models or something cuz I'm sooooo calm and levelheaded about everything and GAZZY YOU LITTLE WEASEL DID YOU SERIOUSLY JUST TRY TO TAKE ONE OF MY FREAKING KIDS?"

Do I even need to tell you who said that?

I thought not.

"...six, seven, eight. Uh, Iggy? We don't have room for any more kids in our car," I say, picking up one of the little pink people. We already have two girls and two boys in the backseat. I place it so it's balancing on the shoulders of the four other kids, thinking how I'd be arrested if I did that with real people.

"You have to be cheating!" Gazzy says, gesturing to our Cash Stash. He has a point. We have the best paying job, plus a ton of Life tiles.

"This isn't fun anymore. I quit," Nudge says, pouting.

"Okay, Iggy and Cali won. I'm putting this back in its hiding place," Max says, packing up the game and letting out a sigh of relief. "Everyone go to bed," she calls over her shoulder as she walks down the hall. We all trudge up the stairs, grumbling about how much we hate bedtime.

Iggy POV:

As I turn reach the door to the bedroom Gazzy and I share, I turn quickly and grab Fang's shirt. I pull him into the room and shut the door.

"Dude, what the hell?" he stage-whispers.

"I need to talk to you," I tell him.

"Okay, shoot," he says.

"Iggy! I need to get in!" Gazzy shouts from the other side of the door.

"Deal," I tell him.

"So, what is it?" Fang asks.

"You have to promise not to kill me for saying this..."

A/N: so, there you go. A fight, a Nudge rant, a secret, and a cliffhanger. So sorry I haven't updated in forever. Like it? Hate it? Tell me in a review. Virtual cookies for anyone who reviews!
