I walked into the room. The entire flock was staring at me. I briefly looked up at them then walked past into the kitchen. I pulled out a cookbook and Iggy looked over at me as if to protest but I held up my hand. I looked at the ingredients and the entire flock watched. Angel had a surprise look on her face, Gazzy looked like I was making a bomb, Nudge had a fire extinguisher in hand, Iggy was pouting, and Dylan and Fang looked scared like I was going to poison it. I might just.

I threw the ingredients together very very carefully following directions. I had to make sure it tasted absolutely perfect. I reread and reread each label on each container and reread and reread the ingredients list. I was almost shaking. I cooked the way I watched Iggy cook just to show off a bit. Iggy walked over and asked if he could help. I finished putting it in the oven and set the timer. Then I flipped through a couple pages and pointed to something. He began cutting while I threw the things he cooked into a frying pan. It sprung to the perfect sound of sizzling. I almost ate it right out of the pan. I left the stirring to Iggy and turned the corner to my room.

Now I had to put on something nice.

I threw together an outfit that I knew Ella and Nudge would kill me if they knew I owned it but never wore. (A/N: If you'd like to see the outfit there is a link on my page :D)

I walk out my door and was shocked to see my sister-she had been staying with us recently because Mom and her got in a fight- and Nudge standing outside my door.

"She has good taste," Ella admitted.

"But her hairs mess!" Nudge pointed out.

"Oh no!" I said, it being the first thing I'd said to anyone in 4 hours. They spun me around and dragged me into the bathroom. Me being in heels you can tell that wasn't easy for me.

"No! No! No! No! No!" I screamed as my heels dragged against the wood.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" Ella cheered. She sat me in a chair in a bathroom and locked the door. They began doing... Who knows what to my hair. And frankly, I was worried. For my health, and when they're done with me, theirs.

"These heels are sharp." I nodded at them, Ella immediately yanked my head back though with a hairbrush trying to get a knot out of my long hair.

"So?" Nudge asked.

"So, these'll be my new weapons, against Erasers, Mad Scientists, and you two." I growled out the last two words and I'll admit. They looked kind of afraid. But it still didn't stop them.

When they were done my hair was in magnificent curls. And I loved it.

"Okay. You two win. I like it."

"So you'll let us do this more often?" Nudge asked.

Ella and I looked at each other and busted out laughing like that was the best joke Nudge had ever told. It probably was.

We walked out of the bathroom and I walked into the kitchen. I could tell everyone was looking at me. Iggy looked over. He was blind, but he could feel it in the air.

"Do you look totally hot or something?" Iggy asked.

Ella leaned over and whispered something in Angel's ear and all I heard was "Show him." I was scared.

Angel walked over to Iggy and said, "Hey Iggy don't block me out." She must've showed him a picture of how I looked because he dropped his spatula.

"She brushed her hair?" Iggy said, clearly shocked.

Gazzy ran over to the food I cooked that Iggy must have pulled out of the oven. He took a bite.

"And she cooked properly?" Gazzy said, clearly shocked.

"I think we all know whats going on here." Iggy stated as if he was the president.

"This is an impostor. Obviously this is not Max but really is..." Gazzy continued for him.

"MAYA!" Iggy yelled out pointing his freshly cleaned spatula at me.

"I walked home with you Iggy." I said looking over at him.

"It talks!" Fang said, angrily. Everyone in the room shot him a glare.

"Okay so its not Maya... But whats wrong with you?" Gazzy said.

"So I'm acting different. Sue me!" I said.

Of course no one knew that I was trying to do this to make Dylan and Fang mad, or jealous, or all of the above. One person knew though. One person who had paid closer attention, didn't joke around but knew me well enough to understand. Ella knew. And Ella was going to make damn well sure that it made them all of the above. And I had to find that out the hard way later that night.

Yeah. I can explain... No I can't. Hope you liked :DD
