Iggy's legs rested on the beige coffee table that sat in the middle of the spacious living room. The T.V flickered as the evening news came on. "It's been months since the bird kid stunt in a popular restaurant in New York. Where are they now? We now go live to..." The T.V went black. Iggy sighed. He often found himself growing tired of the publicity his wings brought him. These last few months had been relatively easy. Dr. Martinez's house was nice enough and Iggy was generally accustomed to where things were. Kitchen behind where he currently sat in the living room. Stairs a little to the left of the counter. Max's room was the first door to left upstairs. Then Fang's, then Nudge and Angel, Gazzy's, and finally his own.
He really couldn't complain too much. He had a family, a house, and… well he had a family and a house didn't he? Iggy pulled himself off the couch and started toward the stairs. What time is it? I should probably jump in the shower before Max…"Ouch!" His thought was interrupted as he fell on top of Fang in a less than graceful manner. "Ouch! It would be nice if you could tell someone when you enter a room and spread yourself across the floor!" Iggy teased. "You could tell someone before you give them a concussion!" Fang teased back. Iggy pulled himself off the floor. "I thought you were upstairs." Iggy stated as he pushed his bangs out of his eyes. "Everyone's playing monopoly. I got bored." Fang responded. "Want to see what's on?" "Sure" Iggy said sitting down next to Fang on the floor.
Fang grabbed the remote and started channel surfing. Even though he wouldn't admit it, Iggy enjoyed how quiet Fang was. It left room to think. The exact opposite of Nudge. Fang flipped through the channels stopping on some cooking show. "So now we take the pan of sautéed pepper and mix them with our garlic sauce to create…." "HEY!" Gazzy yelled from upstairs. "Angel! No fair! You cheated!" "It's not cheating; it's using my god given talent." "God given my…" "Gazzy!" Max stopped his sentence before he could finish it. "Fang! Get up here and help me!" She yelled. Fang sighed "Kay. Sorry Igs. Gotta go." He ran upstairs leaving Iggy alone with his thoughts once again.
Max is lucky to have Fang. If only I had someone to help me with things. Ella was a lot younger than he was and not exactly a good match for him. She talked almost as much as Nudge. Almost. Iggy enjoyed peace and quiet. He wanted someone who knew when to just stop and listen. The clock beeped as it hit 11:00. Eh. What's another night without a shower? Iggy pulled himself of the floor and headed up the stairs to his room.
