"Iggy you better get in here quickly" Angel called up the stairs. Ella whipped around to look at the little girl, flour covering her hair and bits of her clothes and face. "Angel I told you I don't need Iggy's help at baking" Ella said as she glanced at her burnt cookies. Max would have been ashamed.
"Ella your mixing cookie batter with a ladle instead of a whisk" Iggy answered a slight smirk on his face as he came down the stairs. "Just admit you need and WANT my help."
Ella blushed slightly at his last, comment, grateful Iggy was blind. Angel saw what was going on and left the two alone heading off to find Nudge. "I…well yea I guess I do need your help" Ella admitted finally.
"Good, now put the ladle down and empty your bowl. We are going to make the best cookies ever!"Iggy exclaimed as Ella rinsed the mixing bowl out and threw away the burnt cookies. "Wait, why are you making cookies?" he questioned.
"I wanted to help out in the school's bake sale to raise money for kids in Africa" Ella explained getting all the ingredients and put them on the counter. "But I guess I don't want to kill anyone with my food." The two laughed and continued baking in silence. Ella kept sneaking peeks at Iggy and was again grateful he was blind.
The cookies came out just right. "Thank you for all your help, I REALLY needed it" she said, cleaning up as Iggy stole a cookie, chewing it slowly.
"Well it was only right to make good cookies since I am friends with Max" was his reply.
Ella, after a quick thought, kissed Iggy's cheek, turned off the oven, and half walked, half ran up the stairs due to embarrassment.
"That was better than cookies" Iggy said to himself, smiling.
"No it wasn't!" Max called out to him.
