Max POV

I sat in the airplane chair, gripping the seat with dear life. My knuckles had turned white. Fang placed his hand on mine and looked at me reassuringly, I was so lucky to have him.

You're probably thinking, 'You have wings, why didn't you fly?' Well, Jeb didn't allow flying because he though it would "attract to much attention" and "normal kids don't fly". You know, all that crap. Anyways, I knew we were almost at the Albuquerque Airport.

"Here's the start of our 'normal' life." I whispered to Fang sarcastically and leaned my head on his shoulder.

"Same as saying 'here's the doorway to Hell.'" He scoffed. I chuckled sourly.

"Attention passengers, we will be landing in approximately 10 minutes." The pilot of our private jet said, conforming my thought. Nudge squealed in excitement in the chair behind me.

"Can you believe it Max? We are going to be NORMAL kids! OMG! We are gonna go to school and have friends an-." I turned around to see Iggy clamp his hand over her mouth.

"Thank the Lord for you Iggy!" Gazzy said from across the aisle. We all laughed. Maybe this wasn't going to be that bad after all.

If you have stuck with the Flock and I since the beginning of our adventures, you would know that the previous statement would be categorized as impossible.

…

Mom, Jeb, whom had flown to NM to make sure everything was settled, Fang and I, with the money left over from all the shows we did to save the world and stuff, we able to afford a 7 bedroom, 6 bathroom house on the outskirts of Albuquerque. We were about 20 minutes or so from the nearest Elementary/ Middle School and 15 minutes away from the nearest High School.

I was the first one off the plane. Gosh, I really hate planes. They remind of that horrid submarine we spent ages on. Yes, I said horrid. What? A 17-year-old, mutant bird kid can't look up words in a dictionary every once in a while? Any way, the minute I walked out the plane door, I was hit with a wave of heat. I quickly took in my outfit, which consisted of a turtleneck and combat boots, and decided that I was way to overdressed. The Flock was most likely overdressed as well, so I walked to the Airport gift shop and bought everyone some T-Shirts and caps. For me I picked out a simple green shirt, for Fang a dark blue, since black would attract so much heat, for Iggy a light blue one, for Nudge a, you guessed it, pink! For Gazzy an orange for, you know, explosions, and Angel a purple one. I was on my way to the bathroom when I bumped into someone in front of me.

"Hey watch where you're-" The guy trailed of when he turned around to face me. "Oh. Sorry." He said with a smile.

"Yeah, well next time, please keep your eyes on the road." I said with a smirk and began to walk away, when he stepped in front of me. He was pretty tall, almost as tall as Fang, and trust me, that's tall!

"I'm Leo." He said with a smile…again.

"Sarah." I said, quickly coming up with fake name. I tried to leave again, but Leo blocked my way again. Boy, was he persistent. But of course, being my savior, Fang showed up.

"We have been looking everywhere for you. Everyone is at the restaurant waiting." He said with his we-will-talk-about-this-later look and protectively wrapped his arm around my shoulders. Great way to make friends, huh?

…

When we arrived at the restaurant where to flock was, the table was stacked with food, along with some pretty nasty facial expressions from the neighboring tables. It was there that I realized just how hungry I was.

"Max!" Angel greeted me, with a mouth full of bacon and eggs. "Where were you?"

"Just getting some fresh air, sweetie." I lied, Fang scoffed behind me. I gave him my I'm-so-going-to-get-you-for-that-later-look and sat down next to Angel.

Jeb, whom had been checking our new house to make sure everything was set, arrived shortly after my arrival.

"Everything is set up at the house. I call you tomorrow to see how everyone has settled in. It's about an hour from here, so you are more than welcome to…you know." He did a flapping gesture with his arms so the other people in the restaurant wouldn't here the F-word. Gazzy put his fist in the air in celebration. I think we were all happy to be able to be back in the air, so we quickly finished our meals and blew that joint.

…

Jeb gave me the directions to the house, and I lead the way to our new home. The flock and I didn't rush to get there. I don't think any of us were all that eager to get to start our new life, all except Nudge. But lets face it, that girl gets excited over everything.

…

The minute we landed in a small valley behind the house, I reminded myself we needed to thank Jeb 1000000000 times! I'll sum it up in one word: Gigantic! There was a backyard, a pool, and so. Much. More! It was scary beautiful. Immediately, everyone went to check out the pool, Angel, then Nudge right behind her, finally Gazzy leading Iggy and describing the surroundings to him. Fang and I just kind of stayed gaping at the house until we realized that it was ours, like, ours, all ours. So, we walked hand in hand to survey the inside of our new home.

I was shocked when I walked in the door. Imagine this, like, Madonna's house, times 1000. That's how pretty our house was. I let go of Fang's hand and ran first to the kitchen, then to the living room, then to the 2 bedrooms on the first floor.

"Fang!" Look at this!" I called over to him. He quickly came over to one of the bedrooms. One other word: dark. Perfect for Fang. He looked over the room once and immediately yelled "Dibs!" and ran to the bed. I laughed and ran to the one next-door and gasped. It was the complete opposite of Fang's: light. It had a queen size bed to one side, a lightwood desk with a new laptop and a really big closet. It also had a big window and it's own bathroom. Fang's did too.

"Dibs!" I yelled and jumped on the bed! Next, I ran through the hallway and took a turn at what I thought lead to bathroom. But, I was mistaken, it lead directly to Fang's room. "Definitely not the bathroom." I said. Fang looked up and scoffed.

"I guess its going to take us all sometime to getting used to." He remarked, and nodded. I took him by the hand to go explore the rest of the house, when all hell broke loose.

…

No, don't worry. No Dr. God or Erasers or Flyboys. It was much worse; 4 mutant bird kids, racing to get the best rooms in the house. Since Fang and I had taken the 2 bottom bedrooms, the others were forced to go upstairs. It was fun to see Nudge and Angel walk past my room with shocked expressions, then to see how their face changed when they saw me unpacking. "Dibs." I told them, and they ran upstairs to go find another one. When the rest of the flock went upstairs, Fang and I walked into the kitchen in search of food. Since neither of us could cook, and Iggy was to busy in The War of the Rooms, Fang decided to go get some Chinese Food a couple of miles away.

…

It was 9:30 pm, and we sat in my new, awesome, totally cool, spectac-, sorry. The flock and I were sitting in my new room on my new bed eating the Chinese Food Fang had brought home.

"Okay, guys" I began. "We start school tomorrow an-" I bunch of groans cut me off coming from everyone else in the flock except Nudge, what a coinkydink. "-and that means that we have to keep a low profile. And remember, don't get too attached, because we might have to flee any second." I said.

"Where to next? Freaking Mars?" Iggy asked.

"Still, we should set some ground rules. No manipulating people into getting what you want." I said firmly

"Cough, cough, Angel." Gazzy smirked. Angel blushed.

"No setting bombs of in class." I said.

"Couch, cough, Iggy." Gazzy mocked.

"But what if it-" Iggy began to protest.

"No. Bombs. We don't want people thinking we are some Alien Terrorists. Also, please, please, please, try to keep your gastrointestinal systems under control." I said.

"Cough, cough, GAZZY!" Fang, Nudge, Iggy and Angel yelled. We all burst into laughter.

...

That night, Fang and i stayed up watching a scary movie in his room. It had the biggest TV in the house. i had made some popcorn from the box that I had picked up on my trip to the store after dinner. I was sitting next to him on the bed and his arms were around my shoulders. My head was resting on his chest. I was really glad to have him back. He was my best friend and my soulmate. I looked up at him and just thanked the universe for what a perfect family I had. I don't remember falling asleep during the movie I woke up in the same spot the next morning. A quick glance at the clock told me it was 7 am, Monday. I kissed Fang lightly on the cheek to wake him up.

"Rise and shine, time get ready to go to hell." I said with a smirk, and went back to my room to get ready for school.
