I do not own Maximum Ride. James Patterson does.

Dinner blunder

Max POV

Me the Flock and Total were at my mom's house for the whole week! We didn't want to stay to long in case of people trying to kill us.

We were having a great dinner. Mashed potatoes and steak. We were all talking, laughing, and eating. I wish we could always be like this together and happy.

Max look at Ella. It took me a moment to relize that it was Angle talking to me. Then Angel giggled inside my head.

Who do you think it would be? Never mind. Just look at Ella.

When I glanced at Ella I noticed she was just staring at Iggy. Not eating, talking, or laughing, just staring.

Angel What is she thinking about?

She likes Iggy. A lot. As in loves him.

I almost started choking but stopped my self. Ella must have noticed me looking at her because she blushed then quickly changed the subject by asking "Does anyone want a refill of lemonade"

Who do you think wanted a refill? If guessed the blind pyro then you guessed correctly. Her face became an even darker red and she started pouring.

Max keep your eyes on Ella

Can't this wait I'm trying to eat.

Hurry look now! Your going to miss it.

I looked at Ella and saw that she had forgotten whet she was doing and was staring at Iggy again. His glass was now overflowing and pouring over the sides.

When Iggy noticed he started saying "Ella that's enough. If I want more I'll get a refill"

Angel started laughing and soon enough so did Nudge. "Ella!" Mom called loudly so that Ella would hear her. "Ella! Stop!" She called again. This time Ella heard her but was so surprised she dropped the pitcher on Iggy. His whole lap was covered.

"Oh My God! I so sorry! Iggy let me help!" Ella said

She went down to help Iggy wipe everything off the floor.

"Ella we need more napkins can you get more please" Iggy asked from the floor.

"Yeah of course!" Ella said as she went up to get napkins, but her head hit the table with a loud thunk and the mashed potatoes fell down on Iggy's head.

Gazzy joined the laughter when he saw the look on Iggy's face as he rose from the floor and Fang was trying to hide a smile.

I didn't want to laugh so I tried to hold it in but when I saw Ella's reaction. "Oh My God! Iggy what happened? Did you drop your plate?" Ella asked because she was to busy clutching her head to realize it was her fault.

I couldn't take I started to giggle hysterically. Trust me I never do. "Ella when you hit your head it it…" but I couldn't stop laughing.

I fell on the floor when Gazzy walked over to Iggy and wiped hid finger through the mashed potatoes on his cheeks. "mmm… Potatoes!" Gazzy said smirking.

Ella didn't need me to finish because realized it was here fault and here cheeks were as red as ripe strawberries. She sat down and hid her face in her hands. Muttering "I'm so stupid"

I glanced around at the flock, Fang was covering his mouth with his hand, Angel and Nudge were crying because they were laughing so hard, Gazzy was rolling on the floor laughing and Iggy was still just standing there with potatoes all over his face. It was too much. We were all laughing except Ella and Iggy.

When everybody stopped laughing he muttered "next time I'm not asking for refills" and walked away into his room.

After he was gone we looked at Ella who was still hiding her face in her hands.

Max I have a plan but, it involves you and the rest of the flock. Angle
