Again, as I'm too lazy to type, my wonderful firend (and co-authoress!) typed this up. Thanks!

We walked down the street to go trick-or-treating. I know what you're thinking: "Maximum Ride? Miss I-need-to-save-the-world-so-stop-fooling-around Ride is going TRICK-OR-TREATING!?" Yeah, I'm surprised too. The world is supposedly saved, for now. Nudge and Angel were practically tackling me and attacking me with bambi eyes, so I gave in. Don't blame me, it's a weakness!

Fang was Zorro -the only outfit in all black besides a ninja-, Iggy was the White Knight, Gazzy wanted to be a toilet (......?) but decided to be a ninja, Nudge was a fashion model, and Angel was, well, an Angel. Total is with Dr. Martinez, and we bought a house for the Flock. It's about a 20 minute drive to their house, but it was getting crowded, so we moved! Guess what Angel and Nudge practically forced me to be. Supergirl. I. HATE. THIS. We've stopped at around fifteen houses.... We human-avian hybrids love some candy! Although, it usually doesn't turn out so well.....

We stopped at the next house (the thirteenth I think...) and Nudge ran up to ring the doorbell. The door opened.

"Trick or treat!!!!" A girl stepped out, wearing what I thought was a Phantom of the Opera type outfit.....

"HI! I'm Katie! Do you think I can go trick or treating with you guys!??" We stared. "I'll take that as a yes!" Nudge smiled.

"YES! Someone as crazy as me!!!!!! You, me, and Angel will be the best of friends!!!!" Katie laughed.

"I'm not that crazy until I get some candy. Yes Max, I'm a 15 year old human-avian, I read minds, and Fang; I'm NOT the Phantom of the Opera or the Phantomess. I'm the Vampire of the Opera." She showed off her fangs. Man, I hope those are fake...

"Maaax! Can she come? She's my friend," Angel said. Oh god. The last time Angel said that, her friend was a weird mutated monster.

Katie started laughing. "Maybe they're fake, maybe they're not. That's for me to know, and you to find out." Iggy laughed, and Katie decided to go with us. We stopped by at least thirty houses, getting trash bags full of candy. Nudge and Angel were practically high off of the sugar. Katie, Fang, and I stared at them.

"Uh oh." Katie said, staring at them

"You can say that again," I agreed. Nudge and Angel turned around grinning like maniacs.

"UH OH!" They screamed, hopping slightly up and down. Crap.

"RUN!" I screamed. Everyone sprinted up to different rooms in the house, locking their doors. When Nudge and Angel calmed down - as much as they could, anyway- we all came down to eat our candy.

Not very long, but I think it's ok. Erik will show up in a later chapter.
