Hey everyone! Thankyou for waiting I had terrible writer's block but I wanted to put at least something up here so you would know I haven't really forgotten about you guys. Anyway thanks everyone who reviewed, this chapter's for you.
Angel flopped down onto the couch beside me and looked up smiling.
"So now that Itex's finished what do we do now?"
I took a breath out and looked across to where Fang and Ella were standing.
"Well first of all call mum and dad now we know they're not planning some evil thing for the school."
"Which I am very glad about," Nudge added in and I gave her a smile in agreement.
"And then I guess we spend the rest of our holiday doing whatever people our ages do when they're not saving the world."
Ella smirked at me.
"I can think of a few." I just glared back.
"How about we just call Jeb first and see how they're going." Gazzy looked up at me from where he sat cross legged by the coffee table probably working on something mom would never allow in the house, i.e. explosives.
"Could we watch a movie later?"
"Yeah sure," I smiled. "We can grab some pizza or something for dinner too."
Ella entered the room after disappearing for a few seconds, house phone in hand and passed it over to me. The last few days I remembered would have been even worse for her so she would be eager to hear from her parents and now I had the phone I was too.
It didn't take long for Jeb to answer his mobile and we all chorused a hello into the speaker. Cheesy I know but that's what happens when 24 hours ago you thought your parents could be working for the School.
"So how's your parentless holiday been?" Jeb asked and I looked around at the Flock.
"Yeah it's been great fun. How's it over there?"
"Things are going pretty well the incident is almost fully cleaned up, it was a train derailment so we thought it was going to take much longer but luck was on our side so we should be coming home soon."
"If you turn on the news you'll probably see it," mom added in the background as Jeb's watch started to beep.
"Sorry guys our shift is up so well have to leave you there. I'll call later today to tell you when we'll most likely get out of here."
We hung up and I flopped back in the chair with a grin.
"Who wants to take Ella out flying?"
We'd had a great night full of food and games. We'd terrified Ella with flying tricks and as much as she enjoyed being up there with us she'd decided she preferred just watching especially after Total told her about his flying incident, when he'd accidentally been dropped. In our defence I had to remind her he had been caught in time but now it was getting late so we were waiting for Gazzy and Angel to pick a movie. But that was turning out to be an argument that evolved almost the whole Flock. I couldn't help but groan from in between Fang and Ella on the couch as a sharp pain ran through my head.
"You know you guys arguing over there is terrible on this headache."
Ella got up from the couch with a 'up to no good smile' on her face.
"Come on guys," she said to the rest of the Flock. "Let's let 'mum and dad' have some quiet time."
I attempted to glare at her but due to the headache it seemed to not work as well as I'd hoped.
"We're not that old," I retorted back but she just grinned as she grabbed a random video from the table.
"Actually in bird years you're way ahead of us humans. So yeah, you are."
I couldn't be bothered to argue back so I just threw her 'the bird' as she left the room still grinning at me.
"Argh sisters," I groaned resting my head of Fangs shoulder.
"Do you want something for the headache?" he offered softly stroking my head. I shuffled my head slightly so I could see him and shook my head.
"Nah, I just need some sleep." Fang smirked at me.
"You look like it. Jeb's going to come back and think you've been out partying all this time." I rolled my eyes.
"Speak for yourself." I cringed as headache stabbed my brain again.
"You sure you don't want a painkiller? Or I could kiss it better. It worked for me last time."
I looked at him seriously but he was still smirking at me. Then suddenly I was scooped up in his arms.
"Come on, a kiss and bed rest; doctor's orders."
I raised an eyebrow.
"What doctor?"
"The wonderful doctor Fang of course."
I nodded, rolling my eyes. It wasn't until we were at my door I started to wonder why I hadn't thought to protest against Fang carrying me the whole way up to my room.
I expected him to drop me on my bed but was being a gentleman and lightly laid me down, careful not to agitate my headache.
Laying down next to me Fang gave me a peck on the lips and asked "So how do you think Ella took that?" as he threw the quilt over me. I paused for a moment before answering.
"I think she went well considering she's had a relatively normal life." I said as I threw the quilt over him too. Fang raised an eyebrow probably wondering what the others would think if they came in at this point. Well more Ella actually, the Flock probably would think anything of it." I shrugged, "its cold in here."
We laid back in pleasant silence for a while before I added to Fangs question.
"Having your parents on the top of the suspects list would have been probably the worst. But I think that applies for all of us really. We've just had it a bit longer."
After that we just chatted for a while before ending up falling asleep.
The next morning we woke up to the sound of someone giggling and I gave a little stretch inside Fangs arms. I opened my eyes just in time to see the door start to close.
"What?" I asked grumpily, I didn't like getting woken up especially after having to be on watch the night before.
The door slowly reopened and surprise, surprise Ella had been the one who once again had woken me up. At least she looked partly apologetic, well that was until she saw Fang who like usual probably had a case of terrible bed hair.
I frowned at her.
"Why are you in here?"
Ella pulled a face to try and not laugh.
"Well it's past 10 and since you weren't up I was looking for Fang because the other's wanted to go out flying and I thought you'd probably kill me if I let them go out themselves but then I couldn't find Fang and so I was going to ask if you knew where he was and well yeah, here he is."
"You've been around Nudge to much," Fang commented to Ella as he go up rubbing the sleep out of his eyes and then pulling me up out of the bed as he went past. "If I'm up you're up."
I didn't miss the quick look of disappointment as Ella noticed we were still dressed from last night. I was tempted to smack the back of her head as I walked past to round up the Flock so we could head out.
