A/N- Oh my god, I am so sorry. I don't know what happened, but I am so sorry I haven't updated in forever. Tell me if there is anything I should fix, and I'll do it. Promise. To my old readers, sooooooo sorry. To the new ones, hope you like my story!
Disclaimer- JP, if your selling Max, I'll buy her.
"Okay, guys, we're leaving."
I held up a hand to stop the complaints that flew at me.
We were at breakfast in the hotel's 5-star restaurant, and I had just told them phase A of our new plan.
They ignored me though, and everyone was strongly opposed to leaving. Well, everyone except for Fang. We'd already gone over the plan.
"Ohhh, Max! I like it here!"
"Why?"
"I still haven't gotten my spray paint!"
"Where're we going?"
"Gazzy, you don't need spray paint!" I rubbed my forehead. "We've got a new plan, and that plan involves leaving. Got it? Any questions?"
Nudge munched on a piece of toast half-heartedly. "Where are we going?"
I smiled. "I'm glad you asked. We're going to New York!"
Iggy grimaced; Nudge, Gazzy, Angel, and Total cheered.
"Yes! I can finally find out what New York actually looks like!" Total cried, smacking a high five with Angel.
"Max, I can't hear anything there!" Iggy moaned, clutching his forehead. "It's too loud, and noisy, and I hate it!"
Nudge grabbed Iggy's arm. "Iggy! Come on! Please? I love New York! Don't say that you hate it!"
Iggy sighed resignedly. "Okay, fine. But on one condition."
Everyone looked at him. "What is it?" I asked warily, ready to say no and make him come with us anyway.
Iggy smirked. "We go back to the Garden Tavern."
I groaned, Fang smirked, and Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel laughed.
Total looked at all of us. "What's the Garden Tavern?"
"Okay, you guys got everything?" I looked over my flock, making sure they all had their backpacks, and that Total was secure in his carrier.
Everyone nodded, and we walked out of the hotel. I had already checked out that morning, so we were completely ready to go.
We walked until we were out of the city limits, then took off.
It felt great to stretch my wings out. I could feel my muscles groaning from being unused, but I ignored it.
Instead I looked over everyone, smiling at their exuberance at being in the air again.
Angel caught my glance and flew over to me, flying next to me so our wings brushed every time one of us flapped.
"Max? Can we stop in Chicago on our way to New York?" She asked, batting her eyelashes. "We're flying right over it anyway."
I sighed. "Angel, we need to stop detouring. Every time we do, something bad happens. Let's just go straight to New York, and stay far away from any big cities, especially Chicago. I-"
Nudge perked her head up at Chicago. "CHICAGO?!" She screeched, so high that I'm surprised Chicago's population couldn't hear her. "I LOVE CHICAGO!! WHEN ARE WE GOING!!"
I winced. "Nudge, lower the decibels, please. And we're not going to Chicago. Ever."
"Besides," Gazzy piped up, "You've never even been to Chicago. How can you love something you've never even seen?"
"I can't see ice cream, but I love it, Gaz." Iggy said. "I love tons of things, but I can't see any of 'em."
Gazzy frowned. "You're just siding with Nudge because she's your girlfriend!"
Iggy blushed, and Gazzy smirked happily.
Nudge frowned and shook her head imperiously. "It doesn't matter, Gazzy. I've seen Chicago on tons of TV shows and movies. I've read about it. I know so much about Chicago, I could be the Queen of the place!"
Total laughed. "Yeah right, Nudge. The day you become the Queen of Chicago, I'll kiss Fang."
Everyone was silent for a minute.
"Nudge, if you ever become Queen of Chicago, I'm gonna kill you." Fang said, deadly serious.
We all laughed. Gazzy laughed so hard he forgot flap his wings for a second and fell a couple feet, which just made us laugh harder.
When we had finally stopped Angel turned to me. "So, Max, can we go to Chicago?"
I closed my eyes for a second, ignoring the cacophony of voices begging to go to Chicago. "Fine," I said, my eyes still closed. "I guess we're going to Chicago. But then, straight to New York."
Everyone cheered.
As we kept flying towards our new destination, Nudge blabbered on excitedly to Angel about what we should do in Chicago.
"Hey Max, while we're there we should definitely get some chili. Chicago has great chili."
I groaned and rubbed my eyes. "That's Cincinnati, Nudge. Cincinnati chili, not Chicago chili."
Nudge blinked. "Oh. Oops." She cocked her head to the side. "Are you sure?"
A/N- Again, sooooo sorry. I'll update again as soon as I can. Until then, please review.
