The morning sun shone through the window. Even, slipping its way past the blinds. The way Ash was sleeping, pointed her face right at it. So, the moment she awoke, it practically blinded her. She noticed Johnny was still fast asleep. She smiled and cooed softly. She slipped herself out of his arm and put on a pair of sweat pants. Looking at the still snoring gorilla in the bed, she smiled and hustled out the door and into her kitchen. Ash began to hum a tune to herself as she opened the refrigerator. She shook her shook her his to the beat. She grabbed a small carton of milk and still humming the tune, pushed the door shut with her heel. She half shuffled, half danced her way to the counter. Flipping the milk onto the counter, Ash spun her way to the cupboard and pulled out a box of pancake mix. Ash stopped humming as the tune turned into a full song in her head. Her dance escalated very quickly. She leaped to the cabinet and pulled out a pan. She spun around and placed it on the stove. Finally grabbing the vegetable oil from a shelf, she poured some onto the pan. With one last twirl, she flipped the stovetop on. She smiled as she spun to face the stove, but then her heart sank. She saw him, standing there, his jaw wide open, his eyes were gaping voids. Ash's cheeks went ablaze, she gasped in fright. Loosening up from her scare she began to play with her quills.
"I uh… I… erm…..." She gulped. "H-how much of that did you see?" She asked, not realizing how high pitch her voice was.
"I saw… pretty much all of it."
He started to approach Ash. She tried to hide her face from him, he already saw how embarrassed she was.
"Ash, love, you don't have to hide yourself… You were astounding. I mean, who knew you can dance that good?!" He encouraged.
Ash's face suddenly lit up, she looked at Johnny with a smile on her face. Her cheeks started to cool down.
"You really think so?" She asked.
"Love, I know so." Johnny cooed.
Johnny knelt to gently rub Ash's cheeks. She smiled and pushed her head into the palm of his hand. Suddenly, a loud beeping was heard. They both new what it was; the fire alarm. Johnny turned his head to see that the pan was smoking. The oil had gotten too hot. Johnny sprang into action. He grabbed the pan by the handle and dipped it into the sink before the oil caught on fire. His breathing was heavy, but he still turned to Ash.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, I-I'm fine…" Ash said, still trying to comprehend what just happened.
Holy cow, Johnny knew what to do fast. I mean, I would've thought of that!
Johnny turned back to the pan. He made sure it was cool enough. He then put oil back into it and placed it on the stove. Johnny turned to Ash, smiling and chuckling.
"How about we go for Pancakes, take two." Johnny joked.
Ash couldn't help but giggle a bit. She turned the stove to low and pecked Johnny on the cheek. She then began to mix pancake batter in a bowl.
"Alrighty, Johnny, honey bunches, the pancakes will come out in a moment, why not have a seat in the living room?" Ash encouraged.
"Why don't I help-."
Ash playfully shook her head.
"Nope, you cooked for me last time, it's my turn to cook for you."
"Well, if you say so." With that, Johnny went into the living room.
Ash leaned back to peek through the archway that led to her kitchen to see if Johnny could see inside. Johnny most likely couldn't. She smiled widely as she pulled out one of Johnny's favorites; chocolate chips, from the fridge. She dumped half the bag into the mixing bowl and gave it a few more stirs.
Johnny waited patiently. He sat on the somewhat, big enough, couch and whistled to himself. Suddenly, a call came from the kitchen.
"Johnny!" Ash sang. "Breakfast is ready!"
Johnny walked into the kitchen and instantly knew, these were no ordinary pancakes. No, these were…
"Chocolate chip?" He asked.
"Yep, your favorite." Ash confirmed.
Johnny felt a wave of joy overtake him, as he swooped has in a tight embrace.
"You know me too well, love." He said, before lightly kissing her and setting her down.
The two ate, somewhat slowly as they wanted to savor the taste of the pancakes. Ash sat on the couch next to Johnny, at some points, "bumping" into him for giggles. Johnny would lightly bump her back, careful not to drop each other's plate. Ash soon finished her serving, but she waited for Johnny to finish. Johnny was taking is time.
"Boy, you do like those pancakes don't you Johnny?" Ash teased.
Johnny could only nod, his mouth was full. Ash chuckled at the sight, and the fact he muffled a "Mhm". She soon began to stand up as Johnny finished his last bite. Ash soon snatched his plate before he could take it himself.
"You washed dishes last time." She said, smiling. She obviously loved the turn based system they got going.
"I gotta say Ash, those pancakes were fantastic." Johnny said, patting his stomach.
Ash smiled.
"You thought those were good, just you wait for what I have cooking for Saturday." She teased him.
She walked into the kitchen, cleaned the plates and put them away. During this, Johnny had changed into his normal outfit. Ash passed him on his way out of the room. She wanted to beckon him back in to tease him again, but decided against it. She changed into her normal outfit and stepped back out. She grabbed her guitar case and met up with Johnny in the living room.
"Ready to go?" He asked.
"Yep. I heard Buster's got something big to announce today."
The two walked out the door side by side, and holding hands.
