Chocolate Fever
Wuya walked into a small convenient store around the block from Chase's lair. She had a scarf wrapped around her head and her hair was pulled back. Wuya had gone to buy milk but she discovered something else instead.
"What is this?" She asked in her husky voice. The cashier looked up and saw Wuya holding up a box of chocolates.
"Oh," He started. "Those have peanuts and caramel in them."
"What do you call it?" Wuya felt that she must know.
"Um… chocolate?"
"What does it taste like?" If it tasted half as good as it looked then Wuya knew it would be good.
"I like it." The cashier responded.
"Can I try it?"
"You'd have to pay." The cashier reached over the counter and grabbed a chocolate bar from the shelf. "Take a smaller one." He advised. Wuya paid for the candy bar and opened it. After one bite she was hooked. This 'chocolate' was scrumptious.
"Well?" The cashier inquired once she finished the bar.
"I'll take five!" Wuya quickly responded.
"Bars?"
"Boxes!"

Later that day Wuya was sitting on a rock in Chase's lair. She had already finished off one box of chocolate and was starting on another. Chase walked in the room and a funny look soon grew on his face.
"What are you doing?" He asked accusingly.
"I'm eating chocolate." Wuya answered in a high pitched voice.
"You need to wash your face." Wuya ignored his comment.
"You look funny," She said. The sugar was already starting to get to her. She framed her hand as if she were taking a picture.
"You look like you're constipated." She burst out laughing at her own joke.
"Consti-" Chase shook his head. "Wuya get yourself under control we have to go steal those twerps' shen-gong-wu." Wuya laughed at his tone of voice.
"Whatever you say, sweetheart."
"Sweetheart?" Chase studied Wuya. "You're acting drunk.
"I'm not drunk." She held up her candy box. "I'm just eating chocolate." Chase looked beside her at the other three boxes of chocolate.
"How much have you had?"
"Just one other box."
"Wuya!" Chase chided her. "You are on a sugar high!" Wuya giggled at the way Chase was talking to her.
"What is sugar?" Having been gone for 1,500 years Wuya didn't know much about what sugar was.
"It is what is in those candies that are making you so crazy."
"I'm not crazy, I'm in love."
"In love?" Wuya nodded and giggled. She stood up and walked to Chase.
"With you silly." She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. Chase smiled and looked into her sugar glazed eyes. He allowed himself a long moment of love and then turned serious once more.
"You really need to wash your face."
