DISCLAIMER: I do not own Maximum Ride or any of its characters.
CLAIMER: I do own the fanfiction plot line and any self made characters.
"Mum, before I start reading the next entry, could you please explain to me what is going on? I mean you're talking about flying and talking dogs and a bunch of our relatives. What is this book?" Dawn asks me with a very serious expression.
"Dawn honey, keep reading and in the end, if you still don't understand then I'll explain it to you." I say with a small smile, still eyeing the weird meatloaf the hospital had given me. Thank god Dawn had given me some stir fry. Dawn sighs and begins reading my next entry.
It's been a few days since the flock flight with Total and now he's gone back to be with Akila and his pups at the Arctic research center. The entire flock is still buzzing with excitement about the upcoming wedding we'd be going to in about 8 days. I was quite surprised by the couple getting married though since the last time I saw them, Ratchet and Star had been at each others throats with a crazy passion to kill each other.
"Max, it's time to head over to the dress shop!" Nudge hollered as she and Angel skipped out the door. Yes, Nudge said dress shop. Yesterday we'd gotten an actual 'invitation' to the wedding that stated we had to be 'dressy'. So today (much to my animosity) Nudge, Angel, and I are going to this apparently 'amazing' dress shop in the next town over. Once we got to a forested area behind the house, Nudge, Angel, and I took off into the air.
"Wait, Nudge, is there even going to have stuff for Angel there?" I ask.
"Of course there will!" Nudge states matteroffactly.
"Fine, just remember it has to be a dress with no back for our wings, and we have to be able to fly in them."
"Okay, no problem." Nudge says happily as she flies ahead of me with Angel, leaving me to my thoughts.
"Mum, wings?" I asked my mom who had been listening contently to my reading.
"I'll explain later, keep reading, honey." My old and weathered mom said.
Once we got to the dress shop we landed in the back alley and walked around front to the shop door. We walked in and Nudge squealed in delight, I on the other hand was amazed by the wide array of dresses. Angel and Nudge quickly darted off in search of dresses for themselves and for me. I took a seat on an over stuffed leather chaise and waited for them to come back. Getting bored, I started texting Dylan who was out suit shopping with Iggy and Gazzy.
M: Hey, how's the suit shopping going?
D: Hi. Pretty good, what about you?
M: Nudge and Angel are looking for a dress for me…I'm slightly terrified of what they'll bring back.
D: Ha ha, don't worry.
M: I'm worrying anyways. I mean we're going to see Fang for god's sake. Who knows what'll happen.
D: True. Oh well, good luck. Need to get measured, bye.
I sighed and put my phone away. About an hour later Nudge and Angel came back. They were both wearing what I suspected to be their chosen dresses and both were holding about 10 dresses in their arms for me to try on. Nudge's dress was a tiffany blue one-shoulder that went just below her knee. It had a high-waist and had a flowing skirt. Angel's dress was coral pink and look like something you'd see at the ballet or in a fairytale. In other words Angel looked like a princess. Suddenly Nudge thrust a dress at me and pointed to the change room. I sighed, grabbed the dress, and went to try it on. This continued till about the 18th dress.
"Ohmigawd, this is it!" Nudge squealed and asked me to do another turn.
"It's so pretty!" Angel said cheerily. "Look in the mirror, Max!"
I decided to listen to the ten year old and I looked in the mirror. They were right; the dress was perfect for me. It was a mauve cocktail dress that had a long slim skirt that brushed the ground. There was a slit on one side of the skirt that went to mid-thigh and it had the draped-toga top. There was no back of course and so there was enough room for me to stretch out my wings a bit in the private change gallery. Nudge and Angel started jumping together and cheering at my reaction.
10 minutes later we'd paid for the dresses, changed into our normal clothes, and taken off for home. By the time we'd gotten back the boys were already there with their suits and my mum was busy cooking dinner. Ella was out with a few friends. We ate dinner as a flock and discussed the plan for getting to and from the wedding.
"Mum, can you please explain to me now?" I asked again.
"Dawn, keep freaking reading." My mum said with a stern tone. I sighed and once again began.
Later that night Ella came home and told us that she didn't want to go to the wedding. So it was decided. It was just the flock and I.
There we go, better than the previous chapter I hope still on the short side though... Review and keep reading!
