What Happened in the Kitchen

This is how Ryan and Martha became closer in High School Musical 2

I DON'T OWN THE CHARACTERS OR MOVIE

After dance lover Ryan Evans taught the East High Wildcats a couple of moves in the dance studio portion of the Lava Springs Resort, he was totally famished. He hummed an upbeat song all the way to the kitchen. When he had reached his destination he stopped dead in his tracks. There she was, dancing around the kitchen with the most amazing moves he had every seen. He knew it was rude to stare but his shimmering blue eyes were captivated. Then with a graceful turn, she froze.

"Oh. I um I didn't realize anyone was um coming in here since every one well still is um on bbbreak," Martha smiled and blushed completely embarrassed.

"You're an amazing dancer. I mean um, you're an amazing dancer. I mean um," Ryan squeaked. As he spoke he looked everywhere except at Martha. I've never felt this afraid. Well except when I'm around Sharpay or loose one of my hats or that one time I forgot my lines for the play or…Hold on how long have I been standing here thinking. I better say something before I completely freak her out.

"I'm hungry," Ryan shouted not realizing how loud he was since he was still half stuck in his trance. Great now she is going to think I'm just as rude and bossy as Sharpay.

"Well I had just finished wrapping some of Zeke's baked cookies for some guest baskets, there are a few extra and I can fix you a glass of milk," Martha smiled as she walked towards a plate of cookies.

"I'm sorry I shouted," Ryan said with a half smile. "I just get a little nervous sometimes when I'm around um."

"Don't worry about it Ryan." Martha sat the cookies and milk down on the table, smiled and walked towards the door.

"Where are you going" Ryan quickly said.

"Oh. I know Sharpay hates it when I talk to her during her snacks so I just thought I'd…"

"Did you have fun during the Wildcat dance rehearsal today?" Ryan desperately interrupted. I can't have her thinking I'm anything like my twin.

"Um, yeah. It was really fun, you're totally going to have those Wildcats became the next cast of Grease," Martha giggled and took a seat next to Ryan. Ryan offered her a cookie and got another glass and poured her half of his milk.

"Hey Mar Mar! I really need your help delivering these cookie baskets. By the way, they look awesome! In fact I'm going to show one to Sharpay!" Zeke grabbed a few of the baskets and flashed a smile as he ran off to find Sharpay.

"Well duty calls," Martha said as she stood to grab some baskets. "I'll see you later!" And with that she walked out the door.

Ryan stood to return the plate when Martha came back and peeked into the room. "By the way, you're an amazing dancer too," Martha winked and returned to help Zeke.

Ryan blushed and nearly dropped the plate as he mimicked the dance moves he saw Martha doing earlier.

This is my very first fanfic so please go easy on me : ) I thought since we really didn't get to see Ryan and Martha's relationship in the movie, except for the dancing at the end, I'd write something. : )
