It is Sunday morning when I woke up because of a strange noise coming from downstairs. Probably mom. But a few minutes later the noise were still there like things are falling off and utensils are dropping but mom's not clumsy. I wonder who. I was starting to get nervous so I decided to check downstairs.

When I was on my last step, I peek in the living room and saw no one. Then I realized that large noises are coming from the kitchen.

"DAMMIT!" someone suddenly shouted in frustration. I know that voice, it must be Toby. Then I freakishly remember that Toby stayed with me last night. Maybe he didn't went home yet or maybe he went home but came back. But what was he doing?

"OH. MY. GOSH" the only words came out from my mouth as I stepped in the kitchen. I saw toby in his messy hair with a bag of flour in his hand.

"Good morning, princess." He smiled. I hate it when he smile knowing he did something wrong. I just find him cute. Well, I find my bestfriend cute.

"What the hell happened in here? Why is our kitchen in a huge mess?" I placed my palm in my forehead.

"First of all, your mom told me that she wen't shopping for your school supplies for tomorrow."

"and this?" I asked

"Oh. I tried to make you a breakfast. Here's some bacon and egg, sorry if the bacon is kinda over cooked. And now, I'm trying to make pancakes." Then he smiled like a 5 years old.

"You want to make pancakes? Oh my dear toby. Look at you. Those flour all over your face and all over the kitchen counter, those eggs scattering on the floor, spoons everywhere, and this? bacon on the sink?"

"Sorry?" he frowned.

"Okay. I'll just help you clean everything up and since you were the one who cooked the bacon and egg, I'll be the one who'll make the pancakes." I said with a smile. I could never get mad at this guy, he's just the cutest.

He just smiled and hugged me. Then we started to clean everything up.

~after half an hour~

Yep. It took us like 30 minutes to clean Toby's mess.

"Oh god I love your pancakes!" Toby says happily.

"Well next time, learn from the expert" I smirk.

"Whatever" he said.

I stick my tounge out, then he was about to get off from his chair maybe to get his revenge when suddenly the doorbell rang.

"Toby, get that" I insisted.

"Nu-uh. It's your house, plus I'm eating pancakes." He place another two pieces of pancakes in his plate.

"Du-uh. My house, my rules. Get the door or you'll never get to taste any of my pancakes again."

"Then I'll packed this pancakes you just made and learn the process on how to get this formula just like how plankton did."

"Too much cartoon, Tobius" I rolled my eyes but he gave me a cheeky grin. He was about to open his mouth to say something but the doorbell kept on ringing. "Go open the door. It will take you many years to finally know my secret formula on this pancakes." I chuckled and he finally stood up.

"Okay." As he pulled both of his arms up in surrender. "I already know your secret formula anyways."

"Really? Then what is it?"

"Love." He gave me smirk before he went to the door.

I don't know but there's something that made my stomach hurt. Is this what they call butterflies? Nope. I just find Toby cute and attractive? Wait. I find my bestfriend cute and attractive? Why am I even thinking about these stuff. I should stop.

TOBY'S POV

As I opened the door, I saw two of my older brothers, Connor and Riley.

"Hey." I greeted.

"Hey. Can we come in?" Connor asked.

"No" I replied

"It's not even your house, Toby. Where's the owner?" Riley said and gave me a fake glare.

"Ella! Can Connor and Riley come in?!" I shouted so she could hear it.

"No!!" She shouted in reply.

"You two are really bestfriends" Connor said as he enters.

"Bestfriends huh?" Riley smirks.

"Whatever" I replied.

"Good morning Ellaaa!" Riley shouted. Except for myself, Riley and Ella are very close too but not compare to mine and Ella's friendship.

"Good morning, Riley." Ella greeted back.

"Wait, since you woke up I still haven't got my good morning." I frowned.

"Aw. Good morning, sunshine." She walked towards me and gave me a hug.

"Stop with the lovey dovey. That makes me wanna throw up." Connor complains.

"Bitter" Riley commented.

"I heard that." Connor glared at Riley while I laughed at them.

"So, what's the plan for today?" Ella
asked.

"I don't know." I replied and looked at my brothers.

"Well, I'm not in the mood to go out." Connor said.

"Of course, because you're not allowed to drive." Riley said while taking a seat on the couch.

"Can you ever shut your mouth?" Connor said annoyed and Riley gave him an evil grin.

"Why?" Toby ask

"Because mom spent an hour trying to find the car keys this morning. She even asked us both and said we don't have it, but then mom caught the car keys was inside of Connor's pocket in his pants from yesterday." Riley explained.

"I didn't know it was inside my pocket! Ugh." Connor exclaimed as I tried to hold on my laugh.

"Fine fine." Riley laughs and we all took a seat on the couch. Connor was on the single couch and I was in the middle of Riley and Toby on the longer couch.

"I'm in the mood to watch a Disney movie." I said. "Peterpan!" All boys shouted like they were a five year old child.

This is their favorite childhood movie and as a coincidence, same as mine. So we never got tired of watching it again and again.

I laughed at their childishness and stood up to play the movie Peterpan.
