AN: Hello everyone! My name is Nothin' above ya but you can call me Lily, 'kay!

This is my first Fanfic so I accept critics and tips (but don't be too hard on me please *bambie eyes*) Okay, let's get this party started!

I do NOT own Maximum Ride.

I love cooking!

Max POV

I was humming while preparing breakfast for the flock. Yeah, I know, the great Maximum Ride COOKING? There must be something wrong! Not if you knew from who I learned to cook…

********Flashback********

Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies (AN: recipe from )

Ingredients:

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup packed light brown sugar

½ cup white sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

3 cups quick-cooking oats

1 cup chopped walnuts

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C)

2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt, stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Mix in the quick oats, walnuts and chocolate chips. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.

3. Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Servings 42.

Okay, that can't be so hard, I thought. Well I was wrong. How do you preheat an oven? Ugh, this is so frustrating!

"Need some help?" I heard a deep voice say. I looked up and, yep, Fang was leaning in the doorway of the kitchen, arms crossed over his chest. This is what was going on in my mind at the instant I saw Fang:

ZOMG (AN: does anybody know what that means?) it's Fang! Okay Max, breathe in… and breathe out…

What? Fine! I admit it: I have a HUUUUUGE crush on Fang. But how can you resist those dark, piercing eyes or the way he crosses his strong, ropy arms over his muscular chest or the cute way he flips his hair out of his eyes or the cute way he smiles or how beautiful his black, shiny wings are…Mmmm, much better than Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies…

"Hello! Earth to Max," Fang was waving a hand before my eyes. Whoops, guess I was dreaming…again.

"What?" I asked, startled.

"Want some help?" he asked nodding his head towards the bowl I was holding.

"Thanks, but no thanks. I am perfectly fine," I said stubbornly as I turned my back to him. I read the recipe again: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Okay, I can do that. I walked to the oven feeling Fangs eyes on my back. 325 degrees F… 165 degrees C… There are so many buttons! I stared at the oven nervously. Suddenly a hand appeared from over my shoulder and started pushing and turning buttons. The oven turned on. I turned around and there stood Fang with a smirk on his face.

"Okay, maybe I do need a little help," I confessed. Fang smiled and reread the recipe.

"Well," he said after a moment, "step 1 is complete now step 2. I need a large bowl, butter, brown sugar, and white sugar."

I ran around the kitchen, gathering those things. I put them all on the counter.

"Check," I said.

"Now," he said as he came standing close behind me, placing his hands just outside of mine so I was trapped between his arms. He dipped his head so his mouth was at my ear. ", put the butter, the brown and white sugar in the bowl and stir."

I did what I was told. When I picked up the wooden spoon to stir the butter and the sugar warm hands closed around mine. One over the hand that was holding the bowl and one over the hand that was holding the wooden spoon. Together, Fang and I, stirred the ingredients.

"Next, beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla," I read off the paper.

"Now, take the eggs and break them." Fang whispered in my ear. I could feel his warm breath tickle my neck. I took a deep breath, just stay calm Maximum, just stay calm. That was easier said than done with Fangs face so close to mine. I took 2 eggs and broke one on the edge of the bowl… but a little too hard. The egg was completely shattered in my hand.

"Oops," I said. Fang chuckled.

"We'll do it together. Look, you break the egg like this." He wrapped his hands around mine again and showed me how to break the egg. This time the egg landed neatly in the bowl. We did the second one together too.

"Now stir in vanilla," Fang read of the recipe. I took the vanilla and threw it in the bowl with the rest of the ingredients. When we mixed the chocolate chips with the mixture I couldn't help eating them.

"Max, those chocolate chips are for the cookies not for your mouth!" Fang said.

"But they're yummy!"

"Do not speak with your mouth full!"

"Yes daddy," I stuck out my tongue at him when he wasn't looking.

"Okay, now we put the cookies in the oven for 12 minutes and then they have to cool for another 30 minutes."

"WHAT! I can't wait that long!" I said.

"Then I'll give you something to do in the mean time" Fang replied. He leaned towards me and touched his lips to mine in a soft kiss. He pulled back, smiling. I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him back, hard. We should make cookies more often.

********End flashback********

I was pulled out of my dream by Iggy shouting.

"Everyone beware! Max is cooking!" he shouted.

"Iggy, don't panic I know how to do this. I'm not stupid you know."

"Yeah Iggy, she learned from the best," Fang said, winking at me. I felt a blush kreep up my cheeks.

Tadaaaa! So, what do you think? Love it? Hate it? Too short (I think it's short)? Review!
