This is a continuation of Protoman32x's story, "Love is a Strange Recipe" which takes place four years after the show's initial storyline and features his OC, Aaron, a snow leopard who is Chowder's adopted brother. Protoman32x has been unable to continue this story due to computer problems, and has asked for me to continue this story for him, which I've been more than happy to do! I've also added a couple of my own fan-made characters, who are listed in "My Chowder OCs." Please enjoy!

Chowder's little sister Pudding traipses down the streets of Marzipan City, singing softly, "Oh, I'm terr-i-ble at singing songs, can someone help me sing a-looo-ooo-ooo-ng?"

At that very moment, Panini crosses paths with her. "Hi, Pudding."

"Oh, hi, Panini. I hear you went out on a date with Aaron last night."

Panini smiles and blushes. "Yeah. He saved me from a group of bullies; I really think I like him."

A sad expression slowly crosses Pudding's face. "Panini, I…heard about the trouble between you and Chowdie-oops!" she quickly claps her hand over her mouth, blushes, and giggles. "I can't believe I just let that slip! I haven't called him that in years." she takes a deep breath and continues. "You know…I know Chowder very well, and I know that he didn't really mean those nasty things he said."

A surprised look crosses Panini's face. "Really, Pudding?"

"Yeah, the truth is, he actually really likes you. In fact he loves you! He just has a hard time admitting things sometimes."

Panini smiles contentedly, and a wistful look crosses her face. Knowing this had certainly made her feel much better.

"Chowder and I have always been very close," Pudding continues. "Maybe I could talk to him about this sometime, I'm sure he'll understand."

"That would be great." Panini replies; she looks at her watch. "Oh, look at the time! I'd better be on my way. Bye, Pudding, it's been nice talking with you!"

"Thanks, it's been nice talking with you, too!" Pudding waves to Panini as she leaves.

Panini, suddenly feeling very light-hearted, skips merrily down the street on the way back to her house, singing, "I'm very good at singing songs, especially when I play ping-pooooooong."
