It's About Time

Chapter 2~It's About Time

In the center of our little tree top village is a sort of mega tree house, bigger than even mine that consists of a large kitchen, dining room, living room, and of course a bath room. We call this the Flock House. Here is where we, the flock, have meals, meetings, or just hang out together. Tonight we were all sitting at the dining room table enjoying the delicious meal Iggy had prepared for us. Chicken and pasta and soap oh my! Anyway, we were finishing up when Iggy asked,

"Yo Max. I left the pie at my place. Could you go get it for us please."

"Did you just say please?" I scoff, shoving another chunk of chicken in my mouth.

"We'll you want pie don't you?" He raised an eyebrow, ignoring her comment.

"Uh yeah. Why are you so intent on having me retrieve the dessert?"

He snorted and sketched his hairless chin. "Well, the rest of us are stuffed and would rather sit and watch a movie. Correct everyone?" I was outraged as my whole flock, my family nodded, siting back and patting their "stuffed" stomachs. I glared at Fang as he agreed, but seemed to be lost in thought.

"We'll then I'm not getting it either." I replied, being as stubborn as ever. I caught Fang shoot an alarmed glare at Iggy. Hmm... Little did I know that it was him who had told Iggy to say those words.

"It's cherry. Made completely from scratch. Your faaaaavorite." Iggy urged. My mouth watered as I thought of the savory, warm pie slipping across my tongue. I almost gave in, almost. If I was going to do this I was going to make it very clear to everyone that I had won,

"Well if I get the pie it's only fair that I would get double the amount." I said, a smile growing across my face, "No, how about who ever gets the pie can have three large slices while everyone else only gets one. Any takers?" I was a genius. Or so I thought. I knew all those lazy bums wouldn't jump at the challenge. So what? I get three times the amount of pie which it totally worth it. Everyone just shrugged and continued to pat their stomachs, awaiting my decision.

"Hmm well I look forward to eating my pie." I say while jumping out the open window. Gracefully I swoop and dive through the air towards Iggy's tree house.

Back at the Flock House Gazzy and Iggy were jumping up and down, high-fiveing in mid-air. Everyone else was focused on Fang. When the two maniacs finally settled down Nudge asked the question they were all wanting to hear,

"So what was all that for mister, 'you'll find out soon enough'" Fang raised an eyebrow as he started to speak. Then Angel interrupted him,

"YES!" Angel screamed! "I KNEW IT! I KNEW YOU WOULD FANG I KNEW IT!!

"Oh yeah." Fang mumbled, keeping his cool, "forgot there was a mind reader in the room." By now everyone was asking what, what, what is it! Angel was jumping up and down with her hand over her mouth. "Ok, ok, ok." Fang said, attempting to calm the group, "Nudge would you please go and retrieve something?"

"What?" She asked, perplexed.

"It's in my coat pocket. You can't miss it." He concluded, waving her away with a wave of his hand. Nudge burst out of the room, slipping on the wooden floor. The others waited silently until suddenly Nudge screamed. Covering her ears Angel warned,

"Here she comes." Nudge slid into the room too excited to control herself. She was almost literally jumping wall to wall, cradling something small in her arms.

"Ugg this is killing me!" Gazzy shouted, "what is it?" Nudge, to pumped up to speak looked at Fang, who nodded. She held out a small, simple, black box for everyone to see. Slowly, being as dramatic as she could she lifted the lid, reviling a...
