Lunch Duty

"I'm supposed to do what?" Link repeated, staring at Niko in shock.

"You heard me swabbie," the small dirty pirate grunted from where he was working on the laundry. "The crew needs lunch! It's your job to make it."

A scowl creased the youth's face and he folded his arms. "You've got to be kidding me. I can't cook!"

Niko surveyed him grimly over the laundry tub. "You can either make lunch or work on Gonzo's underpants."

"Going, going!" he responded hastily, backing out of the room and heading for the galley.

Once he had stepped into the room, he stopped, staring around. Pots and pans hung gleaming from hooks over the counter, packaged food stored neatly on the shelves, and utensils he didn't even have names for sparkling in their proper drawers.

Overwhelmed, Link sat down on a stool with a dazed thump, his head hitting the counter with a groan. "I'm doomed," he moaned miserably.

An hour later, Tetra came down the stairs of the galley for an apple to hold her over until lunch, and was startled by the sight that met her eyes. "Link- what on earth. . .?" she stammered, stepping back.

"For the love of the Goddesses, don't ask," he sighed grumpily, staring down at his flour coated tunic and at the mess of food that covered the once sparkling counter space.

She gingerly picked her way over to him, fighting back a smile as she surveyed the damage. "I take it you were given lunch duty today?" When he nodded gloomily, she sighed. "Why didn't you tell Niko you couldn't cook?"

"Because he would have made me wash Gonzo's underwear," Link grumped, brushing the white powder from his clothing.

"That makes things clearer," Tetra responded with a straight face. "Would you like some help?" The expression on his face said it all, and she couldn't help but giggle. "Alright, get to work cleaning this mess up, and I'll start on lunch. You can help when you're done."

He took the cloth she handed him, beginning to wipe down the counters as he watched her take a loaf of fresh bread down from one of the shelves. "What are we making, Princess?" Link asked curiously.

She smiled, tapping him on the nose. "Sandwiches."
