Chapter Two: The Chosen One

"Man, I'm stuffed. You scallops sure know how to cook!" Norma patted her satisfied stomach.

"We're not scallops!" exclaimed the three oresoren.

"So what'd y'all want us to come for?" asked Moses.

"Actually, we wanted to ask Norma something, kyuu!"

"Told you," said an exasperated Jay. "They didn't want YOU to come Moses."

"Some host you are," grumbled Moses.

"I didn't do it!" said Norma suddenly.

Jay's eyes widened. "You broke something!" he accused.

"I didn't! I just said I didn't, dammit!"

"So that's why the oven wasn't working..."

"It wasn't me! What would I do with an oven!"

"Cook," put in Moses helpfully.

"Yeah," agreed Jay. "You cooked with my oven and broke it!"

"I didn't! I don't even come here that often! When would I cook with it!"

"You were just here yesterday!"

"I don't even know how to cook!" wailed Norma.

"That would be WHY," shouted Jay.

"Y'all sound like an old arguing married couple," said Moses with a smirk.

"Why would I marry someone with a broken oven!" shouted Norma.

"You're the one who broke it!" shouted Jay.

"Jay...we still want to ask Norma something kyuu," said Quppo.

"Oh yeah, let them otters speak," said Moses.

"I-it's not about the oven though is it?" asked Norma. "Because I totally didn't touch it."

She definitely broke it... thought Jay and Moses.

"We think that you're the Chosen One, Norma. Kyuu!" announced Pippo.

"The...the what?" chorused Norma, Jay, and Moses together.

"The Chosen One, kyuu! You match all the signs!" added Poppo.

"You mean loud and bubbly? (Moses) You mean stupid? (Jay)."

Norma crossed her arms. "Hey...One of you said something mean."

"Yeah! The Chosen One is loud and wears all yellow and is a human! Kyuu!" put in Quppo. "And the Chosen One is a crystal eren!"

"I'm sure there are other people who match that description..." mumbled Jay.

"According to the Clam Scriptures, kyuu, one of the signs is that the Chosen One will break an oven!" continued Quppo.

"I said I didn't do it!" said Norma defensively.

"Bubbles, we know it was you," said Moses.

"And the Chosen One is greedy, kyuu. Jay always says you always want money, kyuu," said Pippo.

Norma coughed. "I wouldn't say...greedy..."

"You're greedy," said Moses.

"The Chosen One loves to sleep too, kyuu," said Poppo.

"Yeah you're always sleepin' all over the place," said Moses.

"Shut up Red!" huffed Norma.

"What are ya gettin' all angry for, Bubbles?' asked Moses, scratching his head.

"The Chosen One gets angry a lot, loves to eat, and found the Everlight kyuu! It has to be Norma kyuu!" finished Quppo.

"For real? The Clam whatevers say all that?" asked Norma, whirling to face Jay. He just shrugged.

"So will you be our Chosen One, kyuu?" asked Poppo.

"I don't know..."

"Please? kyuu, kyuu, kyuu!" The Scallop Brothers started dancing. Norma fell down to her knees.

"You scallops really know how to get a girl to say yes! Okay, okay! I'll do it!"
