"Ve! _! _!" I looked up from my book to see Feliciano bounding into the house through the back door. He was carrying a bucket filled with some kind of berries. I smiled at the bubbly Italian as he set the bucket in my lap. "Look at-a what I found!" he said excitedly. I laughed as I looked at the berries.

"And where did you manage to find black berries?" I asked, picking up one and popping it in my mouth. He laughed and pointed towards the backyard.

"I was following after-a Blackie to make-a sure she didn't get lost and I found-a her eating these," he told me, picking up one of the berries and eating it. He grinned and I laughed as the berry stained his pearly white teeth purple.

"You know what these would be good for?" I asked him. His honey colored eyes widened and he leaned forward eagerly. "Blackberry cobbler." He grinned widely and practically tackled me out of my chair as he hugged me.

"That's an incredibile idea!" he cried excitedly. "May I-a help you?!" he inquired hopefully. I set my book to the side and opened my mouth to answer him when two voices interrupted me.

"Help? Viz vat?" "Vhatever it is I vanna help!" I looked up and saw Ludwig and Prussia walking out of their indoor gym wearing sweats and their tank tops. I smiled and stood up from my chair, the blackberries held tightly in my hands.

"I'm making blackberry cobbler," I told them as I headed towards the kitchen. I was expecting them to react somewhat similarly to how Feliciano had, but I was greeted with silence. I turned to look over my shoulder and saw them looking at one another with raised eyebrows.

"Vhat?" they asked simultaneously. My jaw dropped and I looked at Feliciano who had completely stopped paying attention and run outside with Aster and Berlitz. Probably for the best. I sighed and looked back at the two men.

"Neither of you have ever had blackberry cobbler?!" I asked incredulously. They shook their heads slowly and I placed a hand over my heart. "You poor, poor souls," I said, grinning up at them. "Well follow me and I'll show you boys what you've been missing." I turned back to the kitchen, honestly only expecting one of the men to follow me.
