I don't own Ben 10 characters.
Sublimino focused on a television screen as he rested on a living room sofa. That was when he noticed his father. He viewed him trembling.
His eyebrow went up. ''Why are you trembling?'' Sublimino asked. He tilted his head to one side.
''Your mother is cooking!'' Sublimino's father said.
Sublimino gasped. ''Mom is never a good cook. What is she cooking this time?'' Sublimino began to shudder. *Maybe I don't want to know what Mom is cooking. I'll eventually find out what I'll have to eat.* Sublimino shuddered another time.
''I don't know what we're going to eat tonight. I saw your mother near the stove a few minutes ago.''
Sublimino and his father walked to the kitchen. They saw a large chocolate cake on the counter. They gasped again. They smiled at the same time.
Sublimino's mother stepped in front of the cake. She scowled at Sublimino and his father. ''I know how you feel about my cooking. You never enjoy eating anything I cook. This cake is not for you. It's for me.''
Sublimino's mother seized her relatives' coat collars. After dragging Sublimino and his father into the living room, she placed them in a closet. Frowning, she closed the door and took a key out of her coat pocket. She locked the door before she returned the key to her coat.
Her frown remained as she returned to the kitchen. She found a fork and carried the cake to the closet.
Grinning, Sublimino's mother took one bite. ''Wonderful cake,'' she said. She heard Sublimino's voice.
''Let us out! We'll eat everything you cook from now on. We are very hungry. Just one cake slice? Maybe a crumb. Please let us out.''
''You aren't eating one crumb,'' Sublimino's mother said. She took another bite. She faced the door. ''I'll cook spinach tonight,'' she said.
Sublimino's mother smiled after her relatives shrieked. She continued to enjoy eating cake.
