MY THANKS TO LYNN AND GREENSHAI FOR YOUR REVIEWS! Now that school has started again, chapters will becoming up shorter. Not only that but I have other stories I am writing too that still need to be updated. Anyways, this chapter is based off of a Shell Silverstein poem that I remember from a long time ago. In the poem, the king's mouth ends up getting stuck because he ate too many peanutbutter sandwiches. I honestly don't think that is even possible so I kind of changed it up a bit and added Howl and his family. Please enjoy this chapter, review, and stay human!
I do not own Howl's Moving Castle but I do accept requests.
Peanutbutter
Sophie, who's stomach was starting to show a little, and Michael were returning home after going to the market. The two had just entered the castle when they heard Howl's muffled cry and Calcifer's shouts. Sophie and Michael ran to the main room where Calcifer was in.
"Sophie, thank goodness you're here! Howl ate a peanutbutter sandwich and now he can't open his mouth!" Calcifer shrieked when he finally noticed that the two were home. Sophie and Michael started laughing. Howl, who had calmed down, glared with irritation at his wife and apprentice. Sophie eventually forced herself to calm down before starting to speak.
"How did you get your mouth stuck with a peanutbutter sandwich?" Sophie asked. Howl shrugged before looking to Calcifer for help. Sophie walked over to the table that the sandwich was made on while the fire demon explained.
"All I know is that Howl put some white, spreadable cheese onto the sandwich before putting peanutbutter on it." Sophie found the jar that was supposed to be the white cheese and read the label. "He said that he wanted to try that new cheese you got from the market with peanutbutter in a sandwich."
"Is this what you used?" The female asked while she helped the jar up so the boys couldn't see the label. Howl nodded to his wife and Sophie tried to hold in a snicker. She turned the jar around for the boys to see. The label read: QUICK GLUE. The label was in large, fancy letters. Calcifer and Michael began laughing. Michael was even on the floor and holding his gut in pained laughter. Howl just let out a muffled groan. "Come on Howl, mother taught me a trick to get that stuff off." Sophie led Howl to the bath room to help him get it off.
There is that chapter! I have started a couple of fairy tale (as in little mermaid or Cinderella) fanfictions if anyone would like to read them. I am debating whether to make one of them a reviewers choose kind of thing where I place a few options at the end of a chapter and have the reviewers vote which way the story should go but I am not sure if I should. So if anyone would like to help me decide, please let me know so I know how to end the next chapter for it. Also, I think I might start doing that to my Spirited Away fanfiction but, again, I am not sure. Please let me know in your reviews. It will help a lot. Don't forget to stay human!
