Disclaimer: MINE, ALL MINE. I wish! No, sorry it's all J.P. & M.L'E.
Author Note: All right every one, last chappie!!! Ok, so you all want to know more about Mel and Iggy, and (of coarse) Max and Fang. Well, sorry to disappoint you, but this is all about Mel saying good bye to the only "parent" she's ever known, and departing Blue Lake. sob However, because I love the Mel and Iggy pairing so much, I'll write a sequel. yay
Max's POV
Ok, so I guess you're wondering what's going on with me and Fang now, and we've decided that now the School is gone, and Itex has been destroyed, that it's safe enough to be a couple, but, and yes, there's always a but, we've all decided against telling the flock, they can work it out themselves. And there's nothing I hate more than PDAs, so if we do make out, it'll be in private. Any way, so it's the last day of camp, and I still haven't figured out what to do with my paintings, they're too nice to just dump somewhere in the woods, if I do say so myself. However, that's what I'll most likely do.
Mel's POV
I can't believe what's happening. It's like a wonderful dream, and a horrible nightmare at the same time. I've met people just like me, I'm going away with them, and I've met Iggy, he's… well, he never ceases to amaze me. But at the same time, I'm loosing Aunt Rita, and I'll probably never see Ananda, or the farm ever again. I'll never pick apples from the orchard, sit on the star gazing rock, or listen to one of Uncle Sandy, or Uncle Denise's stories ever again. I almost cry just thinking about it. And that's saying something, because I NEVER cry. Like ever. The last time was at Uncle Charles –Wallace's funeral, when I was seven.
Aunt Rita walked up to me, looking none too happy. Then she sighed, and said "I knew it would come to this eventually, but before you go, I'd like to meet these people." I grinned, and hugged her. She smiled sadly, and hugged me back. "I'll miss you, child." " I'll miss you too, auntie, I'll miss you too." Max walked over to us, with the rest of the flock in tow. "Hey Mel, is this your Aunt?" " Yep. Auntie, this is the Flock. This is Max, she's the leader, and he's her b- er, friend is Fang, over there is Angel, then Nudge, then Gazzy, the dog's name is Total," I said "And who is this strapping young man?" she asked nodding at Iggy, who was standing beside me. "I was getting to him, his name is Iggy." "Nice to meet you all. Come visit if you can, the farm is plenty big enough for all of you, and I'm sure Ananda would like to meet Total. Take care of her." This last bit was directed at Max, but it was Iggy who put his arm protectively around my shoulder, and said "Don't worry ma'm, we'll take good care of her." I smiled at him, (which I knew he couldn't see) and hopped my aunt caught the drift. She did, and didn't push the subject. A little while later, after all our final performances were over, we all went over to the art barn, and collected Max's art work. It was beautiful, I didn't know she was good at art.
Neither did I.
Oh, no. did I have a voice as well?
Nope, guess again.
Angel?
She shoots, she scores!!!
Ok, then.
But what is Max gona do with all that? I really don't think we can take it all with us.
I think I have an idea, but Angel, could you please stay out of my head?
Fine. But only because you said please.
Thanks.
Auntie was cooing over a particularly nice painting that max had done. "Hey Auntie," I called. She looked up. "Could you take some of this art back home? We can't exactly carry it all with us." "Mel, that's a great idea, I was just going to dump it." Said Max. "Ok, sure! That way I'll have something to remember you all by!" she replied.
3rd person POV
In the end, all Max kept was her sketch book, and a couple of pencils. After everything was finally loaded into Aunt Rita's car, and she had driven off, the flock (and Mel who is now included in the flock) changed into some of the normal cloths that were in the suit cases left by Anne, crept out of the camp, and no, they didn't take off into the sunset, they went into town for supplies (courtesy of the Max Ride card), waited till nightfall, and then flew off into the sunset.
