AN- Hey everyone! No, last chapter wasn't the last one. I have ten chapters planned for the fic and then it's over. I thought them all out last night and I'm quite happy with my ideas. Thanks for the reviews for the last chapter, you guys all rock! Each and everyone of you. I have 83 reviews! 83! 'I've never gotten 83 reviews on a fic before. I love you all! You make this fic fun to write!

Ok, sappyness over, lol. Here's chapter 7!

Iggy was torn between happiness that Nudge was back, relief that Max didn't seem to want to yell at them for slipping out while her and Fang were on a date, worry that Gazzy's injuries would be really, really bad and curiosity over how the big date went.

So, after giving Nudge a welcome hug and stopping in to see Gazzy, he cornered Fang in their small room.

"So? How did it go?"

Fang, who Iggy could not see laying out on his bed, sighed. "Good and bad."

"How was it bad? Did she run away?"

"No."

"Did she leave you for a roughish, devil-may-care kind of guy?"

"No."

"Did she knee you in the groin?"

"No!"

"Then how was it bad?"

"It was good at first. Really good. We ate dinner, we had ice cream, we walked around. I held her hand."

"Aww." Iggy interjected.

"Then, we kissed. And, that's about the time those robots found us."

"Ouch. Very mood-killing."

"You have no idea. God, I finally got to be alone with Max! Finally! And those stupid robots had to go and ruin it. She was kissing me back! Kissing! Me!"

"Fang and Max, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G." Iggy snickered.

"Shut up. I finally realize that I have feelings for Max and I finally get her alone and-"

"I know, I know. The robots mess it up. That sucks but please, get over it. At least you had a date with your dream girl."

Fang sighed. "Sorry, Ig. Tell you what, I'll make it up to you by typing an email to Ella. Right now."

Iggy perked up. "Yeah? You won't like make fun of me or hold what I say against me for the rest of our lives?"

"Maybe." Fang said, reaching under his bed for his laptop. "It depends on my mood."

"It's a risk I'm willing to take." Iggy said.

"Okay. Laptop is on. It's loading.......it's loading......it's loading......and, here we go. Get ready. Okay. Let's make an email."

Iggy cleared his throat. "Dear Ella. How are you? I hope you're not too worried about your mom. We're on our way to rescue her and bring her home safely. I promise, what? What's wrong?"

Fang had stopped typing. "Seriously? These are the kind of things you say in your emails? No wonder you don't have a girlfriend."

"Hey!" Iggy cried, offended.

"I'm just saying. When I talk to Max, in private, I usually let her know that I'm there for her. 'We're on our way' does not make you seem like you're there for her. It should be something like, Ella, don't worry, I'm currently on my way to rescue your mother and will bring her home safe and sound, I promise you. They'll have to kill me before any harm can come to her. See? Something like that."

"I don't think Ella really cares who's going to rescue her mom, Fang. You are just the fingers in this equation. Fingers do not speak."

"Fine."

"Okay. Uh, I miss you. A lot. Max and Fang went out on a date. They kissed. It's adorable. You should totally talk to Max about it once this whole mission is over. You guys can gush over Fang and compare him to me. It's obvious who wins in that comparison."

"Haha." Fang said, dryly, finishing out the sentence. "Okay, what else?"

"I know you're probably looking forward to seeing your mom more, but I hope there is a small part of you that wants to see me too. I mean, I really want to see you. Well, not see but, you know. I hope you know."

"It's awkward. It's clearly, Iggy. Very authentic."

"Okay, uh. Okay, take care, Ella. I'll talk to you in person soon."

"How should we sign this? Love, Iggy. Your friend, Iggy. Your secret admirer who's totally in love with you, Iggy?"

"Your friend." Iggy said. "I don't want to creep her out."

"You mean she doesn't know that you're practically in love with her? That's bad, Iggy. You should tell her."

"Just because the girl of your dreams feels something for you, doesn't mean that Ella will return my feelings."

"She'd be stupid not to." Fang said.

"Wow. Uh, thanks, Fang." Iggy said, quietly.

"Yeah. You should send Ella a poem. Girls love poems."

"I am not going to send her a poem."

"Why not? She'll get a kick out of it. It could make her smile! She needs to smile."

"I really don't like what Max is doing to her. I miss old, emo Fang. Is there any chance of getting him back?"

"Nope. So, poem. Yay or nay?"

"Nay."

"Yay it is. Okay. So, how can we write a poem and make it sound like it's actually coming from you? I mean, no offense, you're blind, Iggy. You can't exactly compare her looks to anything."

"Well, I could. It would be a huge guess, but I could."

"What do you like about Ella?"

"She's nice. She doesn't seem to care that I'm a, you know, blind, mutant freak. She's got a pretty laugh. She's just....amazing."

"Uh huh." Fang was typing. "Okay, how does this sound:

"You're nice and you're sweet
Being near you is a treat.
You don't care that I have wings
or other weird things.
You're laugh is quite pretty
You're just amazing."

"Wow. You have a gift for words. Except the last two lines don't rhyme. At all!"

"So? I'm sending it."

"Don't. You. Dare." Iggy warned, pointing a finger in Fang's general direction.

"'Your email has been sent.'" Fang read the little words on the little box. "Looks like I dared."

"You're a dead man!" Iggy cried. Then, he tried leaping over the beds to get to Fang. Well, to the general area where Fang was sitting. Instead, his foot got caught on the edge of the bed and he fell flat on his face into the mattress.

"You okay?" Fang asked.

"I hate you." came Iggy's muffled reply.

"No you don't." Fang said.

"Yes. I do. I hate with you a passion of a thousand flames created by the bomb I am dropping on your future home."

"Nice imagery. I'm going to go check on Gazzy. Later."

Iggy heard the door close and rolled over on the bed. He sighed.

"She better like that stupid poem."

AN- Aw, Iggy. All in love with Ella. And Fang deciding to help him out. Like a good friend. Hope you guys liked this chapter! I know it's probably shorter than the last one, for that, I apologize. Three more chaps til the
