And when I said, in the last chapter, that the last chapter and this chapter were related? I meant possibly some other chapter. And yay for healylite, who guessed this word correctly!

...Flan is my favourite food...

Review responses naow!

healylite: Oh, good. I thought that the magical switch from all the fluffy stuff to serious might be a little... Eesh. But, y'know, it was all 'Wahey!' and worked out totally fine! Oh, and your guess was super amazing!

ArcanineTales: Oh, good, you forgive me. Reliiiief. And yeah, they are like a family! I'm just gonna keep the roles to myself... Because the fanbase can rip you apart in one swift motion if you say something they don't like. They're always watching... And it was my pleasure! *Hugs back*

Thanks, you two, you've reviewed every chapter so far =w= Love you guys!

F is for Flan

Leia Rolando was determined. She had been talking to Elize about cooking and they decided to each make something to test their skills. Elize chose to use some smokeshrooms from the Sapstrath Deepwood, wrap them in bacon and cook them. She had asked Jude about this idea earlier and he said it sounded great, so she decided to try it. She was successful and the food turned out great. Leia, however...

"It's an omlette!" She cheered, seeming proud of her creation. On the plate was something about as thick as a pancake, covered in lumps and green in colour. The younger girl tilted her head to one side, a contemplative frown set into her face.

"Omlettes aren't supposed to be green! You really can't cook, Leia!" Teepo shouted, floating teasingly around the teen's head. He continued to broadcast the words "Leia can't cook" over and over again until she finally had enough.

"You know what? I'll show you both that I'm an awesome cook!" Leia yelled before she ran out of the room and into town, searching for a cookbook.

When she returned, the determined girl had shooed everyone out of the kitchen and into the lobby of the Leronde Lodge. Every once in a while, Leia would yell something or other about how it was annoying her to the point where she was debating throwing it at the wall. What she menat by 'it', they would probably never know.

Eventually, the party drifted away to do whatever they wanted to do until only Alvin and Elize were left. Jude had went to his family's clinic to get some books, Rowen accompanied him and Milla went out to the edge of town in order to train some more.

After a little while, Elize stood up. "Teepo and I are going for a walk. We're counting on you to tell us how Leia's food is!" She announced, skipping out of the building just as a sweet smell wafted in from the kitchen.

A proud-looking Leia strolled into the lobby, carrying a plate with her. She looked around, a little confused at the absence of her friends, but shrugged it off and set the plate down on the table in front of Alvin. On the plate was a perfect example of flan, more than worthy of having its picture in a cookbook.

Alvin chuckled. "You sure this isn't store-bought? Or did you have your dad make it for you?" He teased, getting a powerful punch in the shoulder.

"Oh, just shut up and taste it..." Leia muttered, leaning back in the chair she was seated on. The mercenary did as he was asked and was surprised to find that it tasted as amazing as it looked.

As Alvin told Leia how great it was and the teen nodded with clear confidence, neither of them noticed Leia's father entering the lobby and approaching them. "Cooking for your boyfriend, Leia?" He commented, a smile on his face.

Leia's face, however, resembled a tomato as she got up and ran upstairs. Her leave was soon followed by the slamming of a door and the two men left downstairs looked at eachother. Alvin chuckled quietly and looked at the ceiling. "Not yet, but I'm pretty determined to make that a fact."

Flan brings people together. Just saying.

All of my friends say that my cooking is fabulous, and so I've made it a habit to make flan on a Wednesday and on a Sunday. I don't know why, I always give it away, but... Eh, why the hell not =w=

I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING YESTERDAY I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT I COULD DO WITH THE NEXT FEW WORDS PLEASE FORGIVE ME ;A;
