I present thee: The Wrath of the Goddess
How dare they? They're trying to fool me, that's preposterous. Grrrr. I won't fall for their lame tricks. If my minions think they can get away without scrubbing my pots, cleaning my kitchen, or making hundreds of cakes, they're wrong. Why do they always think I'm not looking? I see them. They're chatting about video games, licking the icing, making stupid faces, having a water fight, reading books, drawing, and laughing their heads off. I'm looking and I see I just caught them, but they don't realize it.
Wow. That's kinda sad.
Why did I even hire them since my slaves act so airheaded? Oh wait, that's right! I captured them. Hehe.
This is no time for laughing when they're slacking off. My slaves are supposed to make me sweets, candies, chocolates, cookies, cakes, pies and they aren't making them. Only one of them is trying to make the sweets and it's too much work for one person. It's time to punish them.
With my powers, I shall…
Wait, I'm just a pastry goddess. I can only make awesome desserts.
DADDY!
Please help me out here, won't you? You see, my slaves aren't doing what I told them to do. What? Why do I even bother to keeping them? They're fun to boss and mess around, especially when they give me looks of misery and despair. Ok, they don't look too miserable and sad, only because I haven't given them a harsh punishment. Dad, I like mortal slaves. I don't care about the immortal ones; they're not fun even though it's easier to get them to do stuff for me. It's more entertaining to watch their mortal expressions.
I want them to suffer, but not too much because I don't want them to hate me when they come back to work under me. Yes, I care about their feelings and yes, I know they'll die someday. You already gave me the talk.
Just transport them to a world full of hardships and dangers. You know, tons of wild beasts, add some bad guys too, a scary environment wouldn't hurt either.
Oh, I have the perfect idea! Send them to a world of a video game, something like Halo or Yu-gi-oh since they play so many games. Hey, what are they playing right now? Pokemon? Hmmm, Pokemon. I like it, it's perfect. They're going to panic once they figure out they've been caught. Send them there. Which game? Whatever game setting they're playing right now.. Yeah, that's a good place. Remember Daddy, just give them a small scare, don't overdo it. *big smile* Wait, wait, wait. Spare Gilly, She's the only one working.
Meanwhile in the kitchen…
"Guys, we have so much work to do. It's not even funny. Did you see the list of desserts she wants to eat? They're so hard to make. New York cheese cake, strawberry shortcake, baklava, Crème Brule, crepes, Black Forest Cake, cream puffs, éclairs, fudge, caramels-" Gillian stood over her friends who were sitting on the floor and stools as the blond with glasses waved her arms franticly.
"And the list goes on," Jessie rolled her ever-changing blue eyes and made a face at Hannah. "Knowing that goddess, she could make all of that in a flourish. Instead, she makes us do it and complains about how bad they taste."
"I don't know, Jessie. Last time we made those chocolate dipped strawberries, she seemed pretty happy when she left," Erin piped up from her book, a typical bookworm with medium length brunette hair.
"Um, Erin? You always have your nose buried in a book. You did not see that goddess storm out, ranting about how we used the chocolate fondue fountain." Hannah said flatly. She was the shortest girl of the group with medium length brown hair.
"She did like the patterns on the strawberries," Raven said in defense of Erin. She was the palest and had really light brown hair.
"Are you sure?" Dakota joined in on the conversation. The other guys noticed his abrupt leave in their own conversation and focused their attention on the girls'. He was one of two guys who had glasses unlike the girls who had them were Gilly, Hannah, Becca, and sometimes Raven. "That goddess is never satisfied with anything. She always complains how mortals suck at everything and brags about only immortals can bake. Can she even bake?"
"Shh," Alec made the sound but clearly enjoyed how the conversation was going. Goddess bashing was always an enjoyable subject.
"Yeah, seriously." Evan turned off his Gameboy SP. Evan's black hair beat Dakota's brown hair in the category of curliness who in turn only had a slight wave.
"Ok, can we please go back to the subject of us baking?" Gilly asked. Raven made a weird groaning sound and everybody gave her a weird look.
"The chances of us baking all that stuff are impossible. The goddess will come in a hour to have a bite and right now, we have nothing to present." Alec pointed out. He was the only guy with dirty blond hair no one could tell due to his length of hair
"But if we start now and make a quick batch of fudge, she will be kind of appeased." Gilly said.
"Puh-lease," Jessie, the tallest, flipped her long hair with purple and pink streaks, stood up, and folded her arms. Besides Gilly, she was only girl with blond hair."First of all, she didn't ask for fudge. She asked for all of these fancy-schmancy desserts. Second of all, we're going to have to look busy while she eats and she's going to assume that us looking busy is making more sweets for her. And we don't know how to make those desserts." Jessie dropped to the floor again.
"There's recipe books in the library." Erin said.
"Do you know how hard those recipes are?" Becca asked.
"They can't be too bad." Erin said.
"Oh, they're hard." Hannah nodded her green and blue zebra patterned hair in a knowing fashion.
"Really hard," Evan echoed.
"Really, really hard," Raven mumbled.
"Really, really, really difficult!" Dakota wagged his eyebrows.
"Extremely difficult to point of near death after all of backbreaking baking, to point of tears, to the point of-" Alec started to wave his arms around to emphasize his words.
"Ok, I get it!" Erin yelled exasperated. "No need to get all dramatic."
"We all get it." Hannah said and gave a wry chuckle.
"Um, guys, just a question that I just thought up right now?" Dakota said.
"What?" Everybody looked at him, questioningly.
"Where's Sam?" Dakota asked.
At those words, everybody stood up and began looking for the other kitchen boy, but they did not see the tallest boy anywhere in the kitchen. He simply was not there. Apparently, Sam must have disappeared and went off while everybody except Gilly lounged around. They all sat down again on the floor, confused.
"He ditched us!" Erin stated the obvious.
"I know," Becca said sulkily.
"He's gonna be in so much trouble when the goddess finds out," Jessie crowed.
"We're gonna be in trouble when the goddess finds out," Alec corrected.
"That's gonna be fun." Hannah fake-smiled.
Raven groaned. "I don't even want to know what she going to do to us or him!"
Gilly finally plopped on the floor and sighed. There was a long pause. Dakota and Evan exchanged looks and shrugged helplessly, not knowing what to do. Hannah mentally cursed Sam as Jessie and Raven leaned on each others' shoulders. Becca thought of many ways to cook Sam alive and Erin pouted. The silence was terrible, each wallowing in a mixture of sadness, anger, and fear. No one knew how to comfort each other or themselves. Alec looked around at the group, their usual cheery dispositions was gone. Finally, he said:
"We're screwed."
…
They couldn't help it, nobody could hold it in. They were in agony, trying not to. But someone let out a breath of air out with an unusual sound. Pfft. It began with a nervous chuckle and a small giggle, and then Evan guffawed, leading everybody else to laugh. Somebody accidentally let out a snort and Erin began tearing up, tears running down her face which escalated the mood where everyone was bending over, holding their stomachs, laughing until their sides hurt.
Becca finally said, "We're royally screwed."
"No," Dakota corrected Becca as the laughter died. "We're immortally screwed." Becca rolled her eyes.
Hannah let out a yawn. "Sorry." She began to lean on Jessie's shoulder.
"You're excused." Jessie also began to also lean on Hannah.
"Guys, we can't fall asleep like this." Gilly protested weakly as she sank to the floor.
Nobody noticed the shroud of tiredness that was over them. Becca rubbed her eyes. Raven and Evan leaned backwards, their backs touching the counter. Alec drooped his head down. Dakota just sprawled onto the floor while Erin curled up into a ball and Gilly dozed off, laying on her side. The sleep that fell over them was peaceful and soothing. Nobody knew nor imagined what was about to happen…
Gilly woke up, the only one on the floor. In fact, she was the only one in the room to her surprise. She stood up in a panic. Indeed, there was nobody in the kitchen. It was totally empty! Where did everybody else go? Why?
"Oh, my goddess! Oh, my goddess! Oh my goddess! What am I going to do?" Gilly said over and over to herself, clutching her head and pacing in circles.
Just then, the door swung open and Gilly stopped.
"I'm back!" Sam announced quite loudly. The tall, big kid who had black eyes and hair looked around. "Hey, Gilly, where's everybody else?"
At this point, Gilly freaked out, also quite loudly. "Where were you? Jeez, everybody was worried about you and now they're missing! Probably because of you, they're probably out looking for you. It's all your fault!"
"Jeez, calm down. We'll just look for them and then we'll pretend that I never ditched you guys." Sam turned away from her and started to the door.
Just then, the door swung open, hitting Sam in the face, sending him sprawling to the floor. There stood the goddess herself.
