Chapter 2: Kitchen Troubles
"Location: Royal Woods, The World Of Nickelodeon, February 17th 2134"
Lemy had been tasked to supervise Loni in the kitchen of his, Liena, Leni, and Chaz's house, in making a strawberry cake for Linka's eleventh birthday. The blonde haired boy had been instructed in a variety of cooking endeavors before and knew how to cook, but now he had to make cake for at least forty seven people, not counting friends, so baking the cake would be a very hefty task. But Lemy was confident in his older cousin's ability, as Loni had yet to ever fail making or baking something, and to see him fail would be a major surprise.
"Let's look at the ingredients." Lemy said.
The brown haired boy glanced at the recipe. He was wearing a cooking apron over his usual rock gear. Loni took the recipe from his younger cousin and looked at it himself.
"Twelve boxes of cake mix, twelve boxes of strawberry gelatin, 12 packages of frozen strawberries, 48 large eggs, 24 cups of vegetable oil, 12 cups of water, 12 cups of softened butter, 12 packages of cream cheese, 24 teaspoons of strawberry extract, 84 cups of sugar, some cream cheese frosting, fresh strawberries..." Loni started to read out loud.
The blonde haired boy took a deep breath and glanced at Lemy.
"I don't think I'm cut out for this, Lemy." Loni said.
While instructing his cousin, Lemy started to write a love letter to Lizy, after nearly two weeks of endless constant promising. He had had feelings for the white haired girl for awhile, but could never reveal his crush to her until finally managing to convince himself to at least try talking to her.
"Don't let the list of ingredients overwhelm you, Loni. Just let your hands do the work." Lemy said.
Just then, Londey intruded on Loni's preparations.
"That's right, Loni! No duty is too difficult for the likes of you! In fact, I'll even help you bake this cake to perfection, for I am your courage!" Londey said.
"I don't need any help, Londey. I got it all covered." Loni said.
The test of baking his white haired cousin's birthday cake would prove to the rest of their family and relatives that he was fully capable of making something with any guidance, and he would have to undervalue the advent of help to please Lemy.
"Cuz, do you not know what you're going up against?" Londey asked.
The ponytail haired girl showed Loni the recipe. Even though the teenage boy had already went over it, the younger girl showed it to him again, just for good measure.
"Look at all the ingredients! Lemy is essentially setting up you for failure!" Londey said.
Lemy frowned.
"Whoever said that I was setting Loni up for failure?" Lemy asked.
His duty was to instruct and encourage his older cousin, not fail him.
"A master chef could bake this cake without any problem whatsoever. But Loni, on the other hand, is not a master chef by any means. A one-layer cake would be best suited for his caliber." Londey replied.
Lemy got in her face.
"Will a one layer cake serve an entire neighborhood? You know how big our family is! Not to mention, others may come over as well." Lemy asked angrily.
"Enough bickering, you two!" Loni shouted.
All the arguing was preventing him from making any preparations, like preheating the oven for instance. A baker couldn't forget to do that simple step.
"Londey, if I'm ever in need of trouble, I'll call you for assistance. Other than that, I don't want you anywhere near the kitchen. I need as little distractions as possible." Loni said.
"But I am your courage!" Londey whimpered.
"Just chill out, Londey. Everything's gonna be alright." Lemy said.
Loni showed Lina out of the kitchen. With the blonde girl gone, the boy could finally focus on baking the cake. He suddenly gave a gasp.
"Agh! I forgot to preheat the oven!" Loni cried.
So there's the first chapter of my first Loud House story. I hope all of you like it and any future chapters. I'll try my best to make a great story.
Reviews:
Mzkermuun: Don't worry, they won't. If the powers even do appear, they'll have a very small role.
Hatoralo: Sorry, but I didn't know who to ship Luna with. And I can actually see Luna secretly being into older men. But if you have any suggestions on pairings for her, let me know.
