Erasers surrounded us at every angle. The six of us were back to back, trying to plan our 下一个 move, trying to calculate their movements. Total huddled up close to 天使 in her arms. There were erasers in front of us, behind us, above us, any spot 你 could think of. Flying was out of the question. If we attacked we would fail, there were too many. All of a sudden, I heard a scream. Not like a scream of fear, 更多 like a battle cry.
"KYAAAAA!!!!"
A girl burst through the erasers, kicking them left and right. She wore a white oversized tee shirt, with nothing on her feet. And I noticed, she had WINGS. She pulled me out of the pile of groaning erasers 由 my wrist. We battled the remaining erasers together, side 由 side.
Once they decided to retreat, we celebrated. I suddenly realized -
"Hey, thanks for saving our butts. We never caught your name," Iggy said.
"You 偷了 the words right out of my mouth," I smirked.
"Name?" The girl 说 it like it was a question. "I don't... I don't have one."
"Wait, I remember you! You're the girl from the institute." Realization punched me in the face. Those calm eyes, sleek hair... I knew exactly who she was now!
"Yeah," she said, "I saw 你 guys in trouble, and remembered 你 saving me. Decided to return the favor."
"Now, about that name..." Nudge said, "Why don't we make one for you?"
"I... I kind of like that idea."
"How bout Wingy?" Fang joked. "I mean, 你 have wings, so it fits perfectly!" He smirked.
"I..." She hesitated.
"Why don't we let her have a suggestion, Wingy," I said.
"I... I like... I like Evelyn...." She whispered.
"Why are 你 whispering? That sounds like a great name!" 天使 was excited.
"I... My 老友记 have always just called me 嘿 you... Having a name will be so different."
"You'll be fine. Having a name is better than being 嘿 you. Why don't we get 你 some clothes?" I pulled out Anne's credit card.
"I would 爱情 that," she said, noticably not stuttering this time.
We flew to the nearest clothing store. There were all different clothing items, although some were 更多 modest than others.
"I like these," Evelyn pulled out a pair of sneakers. They were black, with a neon green logo.
"Try them on, see if they fit!" Gazzy exclaimed. "I think those are really cool."
"Um, how do I tie them?" She looked at the laces with a puzzled expression on her face.
"Like this," Iggy bent down and tied both shoes in a perfect bow.
"But...aren't 你 blind?" Again, she looked puzzled.
"He likes to be a show-off," I said, giggling.
"No, I just don't like being the kid who can't do anything but be blind," he pouted. "Why are 你 so mean..."
"Geez, Ig, I was kidding," we both laughed. "You're such a Debbie downer."
"Look, they fit!" Evelyn stood up and did a little twirl. "I 爱情 them!"
"Alright, put them in the basket. Let's go look at some clothes," I said.
We left the store with three bags full of gym shorts, sneakers and t shirts. "Happy?"
"Yes! Oh my goodness, thank 你 so much!"
"Happy to help," 说 Angel. "I'm hungry. Can we get food?"
"Yeah, sure. What kind of 食物 do 你 like, Evelyn?"
"I'm not sure," She looked at the 街, 街道 and kicked a stone. "Anything but 松鼠 dogs."
Nudge had a disgusted look on her face. "Does this mean..."
"I was only kidding, Nudge," Fang said.
...
"I think."
"Ewwwwwwwww," Nudge stuck her tongue out.
"Ok guys, let's all get some GOOD food. There's a MacDoonalds across the 街, 街道 from here."
"YAYYYYYY!!!" The flock cheered, including Evelyn. She started skipping across the street.
I sent the flock a look that meant, "I know she looks innocent, but remember, never let your guard down." They nodded the smallest, unnoticeable nod.
"Okay, let's go."
About an 小时 later, we came out with our stomachs full. Actually full. I didn't know that was possible!
"Ahhhh," Evelyn sighed. "That was the best thing I ever ate. Thank 你 so much."
"Anytime," I said.
"Well, I should probably be on my way now. I wish I could stay with you, but people are depending on me."
"I totally understand," I answered. "Have a 安全 flight."
"Aw, you're leaving?" The three younger flock members 说 in unison. Kinda creepy.
"I'm sorry, but I'll definitely visit," Evelyn said.
"Safe travels," Fang said.
"If we meet again, be sure to stay awhile." Iggy smiled.
"Thanks again. Byeeee!!!!"
I watched her fly into the bright blue void. Most people would've thought, "she was nice." But since I'm not most people, I thought, "I hope we didn't just help a traitor."
"I got mixed messages from her," 天使 said. "They were pretty hard to read."
"Well, she seemed like a trustworthy person," Gazzy looked at where she flew off to. He had a sad expression.
"You can never be so sure," I said. "C'mon. Let's go rest somewhere."
Epilogue
Evelyn flew until the flock was no longer in sight. She pulled a transmitter out of her pocket.
"I have their coordinates," she said. "I can tell 你 where they'll be sleeping tonight."
"Thanks," Ari said. "Step one is complete. Now all I have to do is capture Max and kill the rest of the flock."
"KYAAAAA!!!!"

I know 你 wanted Max and Fang to be together, and 你 guys totally HATE Dylan (Don't worry, I do too), but maybe Fang was right and leaving the flock really did help. Max does 爱情 Fang, and Dylan is just too... Personal. He's like a complete opposite of Fang, but is being different a bad thing? And Maya and Fang don't like each other! (If you're still on Fang, oops! Spoiler moment!) Is it that hard to believe that there can be 老友记 in the world too?! ... Sorry, just expressing my inner thoughts here... :)
