Chapter 102: Sweets
~Zane~

<<Disclaimer: I'm hungry>>

Cupcakes...

Cupcakes...

Cupcakes...

I really want some cupcakes right now.

I'm home by myself today though and I really don't want to make it myself. I also don't want to go to the store to get cupcakes, they don't taste as good as homemade ones. I want cupcakes that are baked from scratch, sweet but not too sweet and also has a creamy, soft feel.

I want Dove's cupcakes.

But they're tainted, they aren't made with love. I don't think they're made with 'like' either.

Instead, I must eat someone else's cupcakes.

At that moment, someone opens the front door. "Zane! We're back!" Zerenity exclaims as she walks in with groceries.

I rush down the stairs. "Make me cupcakes!" I demand.

"Really?! I can use the oven?!" Zerenity excites.

"No!" Mom and I exclaim as the same time. Mom also just walked in holding groceries.

Mom clears her throat. "I mean, one day you'll be able to, Zippy. Just... not now."

Zerenity sighs. "Okay..."

"Zane, help us put up the groceries." Mom wonders.

"Can you make me some cupcakes?" I wonder as I grab some bags from Zerenity.

"Ooh~! When Vylad gets home, we should make some together like we did when all of you were younger." Mom suggests.

"I CALL LICKING THE BOWL AND SPOON!" Zerenity screams.

"NO WAY!" Vylad bursts into the house. All three of us stare at him wide-eyed. "...What? I felt like you guys were talking about sweets so I ran home."

"Weren't you at your fencing class?" I question.

"Um, yeah. I'll go back." He starts to leave but he turns to Zerenity. "That bowl is mine."

"Nuh uh! I called it!" Zerenity protests.

"You two always get it! It's my turn!" I shout.

"All three of you can share the bowl." Mom suggests.

"Share?" We stare at her with our mouths hanging open. She never made us share.

"You're all seniors now, all of you will be leaving me soon. Who knows when we'll go through the cycle again. Since this may be the last time we make this together, I want all you to have the bowl." She sniffs.

"Oh, Mom, don't cry." Vylad soothes her.

"Yeah, it's not like we won't see each other for long periods of time. We'll always come visit." Zerenity smiles.

"Yeah." I nod.

"I know. I know." She smiles at us. "Now let's make some cupcakes."

"Yeah!" All three of us exclaim.

Vylad, Zerenity, and I flop onto the couch. "So... many cupcakes." We groan.

"I don't think I can touch another cupcake ever again. Ever." Zerenity sighs.

"That's an exaggeration and you know it." Vylad laughs.

"Okay, fine. I may have been a little dramatic... but STILL, it was like a bake sale in that kitchen." She shudders.

"How'd Mom go from making us share a bowl to giving us our own two bowls of cupcake batter?" I question.

"I don't know but it was a heavenly, delicious nightmare." Vylad shakes his head.

"... ... ...I know we just had a lot of cupcakes but... you know what sounds really good right now?" Zerenity raises an eyebrow as she turns to us.

"Brownies?" Vylad questions.

"How'd you know?! I really want some brownies..." Her mouth basically waters.

"Brownies do actually sound delicious right now." Vylad agrees.

"And cookies, don't forget about cookies." I insert.

"Cookies..." They mumble like zombies.

"That's it! I can't take this anymore! I need more sweets! I MUST have more sweets! Who's with me?!" Zerenity exclaims as she stands up.

"I am!" Vylad and I agree.

"Now let's go find ourselves some sweets!" She rushes off.

"Yeah!" We run after her.

~*~

Later on that day, we were so desperate for sweets that we let Zerenity help us make some and our house ended up getting burned down.

Kidding.

She just blew up our kitchen.

<<Author~Chan really wants brownies. I feel like I'm going to faint if I don't get a really chocolatey brownie right now. Like... now... right now.>>
