Just a cute Fluffy story with Iggy and Ella. This is my first two shot so wish me luck!

Disclaimer: I don't own Maximum Ride!

Iggy's POV:

So, there we were. The flock I mean. Gazzy and Nudge were chasing each other with a water hose, Angel was swimming in Mrs. Martinez's above ground pool (that's basically a kiddie pool because it's only about three feet tall, which is cool for Angel and Total). Max and Fang were sitting on the roof holding hands (in which they thought no one could see them). And Mrs. M was cutting watermelon in the house.

How do I know all this? Because Ella and I were sitting on the porch as she told me everything that was happening. Finally the flock and I could have an actual summer vacation with Ella and Mrs. Martinez considering the fact that Ella was finally out of school. Well, for three months anyway. It was absolutely perfect. The temperature was perfect and the sun was going down soon. The kind of say where you just sit back and say "ahhhh."

"Gazzy I swear if you spray me one more time I'm gonna kill-" Nudge was stopped in the middle of her sentence as her head got drenched with water. "GAZZY YOU ARE DEAD!"

I laughed. I turned my head and listened to Angel.

"Okay so total just think really hard, about my head."

"I'm trying! Maybe I'm just not a mind reader after all." Total whimpered.

"Nonsense. Just focus!" She said going a hand stand underwater. "Okay, what was I thinking just then?"

"String cheese?"

"No silly, you are so food obsessed! I was thinking about how cool this summer's gonna be! Let's take a break and get some watermelon."

"Hey, Iggy?" Ella turned towards me. Previously she was taking everything in, just like me.

"Yeah Ella?" I asked her.

"I was wondering, you know that cake you made last night?"

"The one with the chocolate or the one with the rainbow sprinkles?" Geez that sounded girly. Believe me, that wasn't my idea. Angel came up to me and said, well I don't really remember what she said but suddenly I was cooking. Hmm . . .

"Yeah, the chocolate one, well it doesn't really matter. Anyway, it was really good and I was wondering, maybe you could maybe help me make it. Mom's a good chef but every time she tries cake, lets just say, a white cake comes out black and it ain't chocolate. I had to bake a cake for a home economics class once, I got a c-. I guess it runs in the family."

"It just takes the right practice and patience. Come on, let me show you." I took her arm and dragged her in side.

"Oh hey honey, Iggy, do you guys want some watermelon too?" Mrs. M asked us. I shivered. It was slightly colder in here than outside.

"No thanks mom, actually Iggy was going to show me how to bake a cake-" I interrupted Ella.

"We need the kitchen to make the most amazing, marvelous, fabulous, mouthwatering, delicious cake anyone was ever tasted ever! So everybody out!" I yelled dramatically. I waved my hand, and everyone did leave. Ella giggled.

"Before I go, I just wanted to say to hurry up, I need to cook dinner in about thirty minutes while the cake is cooking." Mrs. M (I like saying Mrs. M, it's just cooler.) said before she left the room.

I sat out the eggs, flour, and other ingredients to make the cake.

"Okay first things first. Chocolate, or rainbow girly crap?" I said putting a tall chef's hat on Ella. I had gotten it for her fourteenth birthday the month before, along with some makeup stuff that Nudge insisted on me getting. She was thrilled as far as I could tell.

"Oh come on! Admit it, you loved the cake!" She poked me, playfully.

"I have no earthly idea what your talking about." I wouldn't budge.

She scoffed. "Fine, be a sourpuss. Chocolate it is."

I smiled. "Okay, so first step, other than getting the ingredients, would be creaming together the butter sugar and then eggs and flour."

She did what I said. "Crap." She said slowly.

"Let me guess, the eggs?" I asked.

"I tried cracking two at once. Oops." She laughed. "Now I've got it all over, everywhere."

I got a towel. "Where?"

She put my hand on her face. It was like my eyes connected with hers because I could feel her staring up at me, despite the fact that I couldn't actually see her. After a moment I could feel her cheeks getting hot, so I put the towel down.

"Did I get it?" I asked blushing.

It was a while before she responded so she probably nodded. "Oh, yeah you did."

So, when I helped her crack the eggs I could hear her start to mix it all together.

"Um Iggy?" she asked.

"Yeah?"

"Could you, um, it's kind of glopping together . It's not stirring smoothly."

"Here." I came behind her and put my hands where hers were and helped her stir. I felt my cheeks get hot and I pulled away as quickly as I could.

I could hear the door opening of the house. "You guys almost done?" I heard Mrs. M say.

"Yeah, almost." I said quickly and the intense awkward moment between Ella and I was gone.

So there is the first chapter, tell me what you think!
