We're WHAT?!

Zander's POV

Luke and I are sitting on the shelf in Hailey's room, waiting for her to come home, when the door opens and Hailey and Milly come in, smirking. 

"Guess what we found out in the library!" Milly asks.

I tilt my head. "What?" I ask, although I know they can't understand me. 

"We found out what kind of bird you guys are!" Hailey says, grinning.

"Okaaaay," I say cautiously. Why did finding that out make them so excited? 

Luke steps closer to me, brushing my wing with his and making my heart skip a beat. The girls see this and their grins grow even wider.

"You're lovebirds!" Milly exclaims, then bursts out laughing. 

"W-what?" I stutter. Beside me, Luke looks a bit flustered as well. If we were human, we would both be blushing like crazy right now. But then, if we were human, we wouldn't be receiving this news.

"Alright, alright, I get it," he says.

"Anything new about Stacy?" I ask, trying to change the subject. But Hailey and Milly are both laughing too hard to hear us. 

Luke sighs. "This will take a while." 

After the girls are finally done laughing, they stand up and look us in the eye. I swoop over to Hailey's desk and grab a pencil with one foot. Trying to keep my balance, I write a shaky S on the paper in front of me. Once I'm done, I step back and shake out my foot. Writing is so much easier as a human.

Hailey comes over to examine what I've written. She looks confused for a moment, then looks at me. 

"You're wondering about Stacy?" She guesses. I nod and she sighs. 

"Nothing new yet. We'll keep an eye on her, just in case," she promises. 

I fly back over to Luke and sigh. He wraps his wings around me and I lean into him, grateful to have such an amazing boyfriend. 

"We can do this, Zander. I promise. We'll find a way to turn back into humans and put things back the way they were." 

"It's not all bad," I murmur. "I like having you all to myself." 

He smiles softly at me, the smile I fell in love with back in middle school. "I do, too. But we can't stay like this forever." 

"I know. And I miss being big. We're really tiny." I hold out one wing to prove my point.

He laughs. "You're tiny as a human, too."

"I am not tiny!" I protest. 

"Yes, you are," he grins, which is really annoying and distracting.

"Whatever," I mumble, burying my face in his chest. 

At least I still have you. 

A/N: Hi! I hope you all enjoyed this mini-chapter. The next one will be out soon. But in the meantime, I have a question: Who should Stacy end up with? Drew, Daisy, someone else, or no one? Please let me know!
