A.N. This chapter was part of the last chapter but it was turning way too long so I decided to post it as an extra. I changed it a bit.
I'll answer reviews in the next chapter. I shall post it tomorrow.
Today is my birthday! April 10th!
Don't forget to review me as a birthday present!
Warning: Chapter in Pudding's point of view. Sometimes in Japan kids speak in the third person so Pudding may refer to herself as pudding sometimes.

A day on the Fong household
The sun was peeking through the window curtains already so I quickly scrambled to wash my face and brush my blond locks. I like to get up early. It's quiet and no one will disturb me when I'm trying to finish things fast.
Today is still very warm so I chose a yellow summer dress to go with today. Before going to the kitchen to start breakfast I stopped to watch my husband sleep. Yes, despite being only fifteen, I, Pudding Wong, am already happily married. My husband Taruto, or Taru-Taru as I call him, is currently sleeping in my bed with me. Because Mint said that real married couples do that. We need to get in tune with things but I think we're doing great so far! I may need to buy a bigger bed though. Taruto hogs a lot of space. I don't understand why couples like to sleep in the same bed. Not that I'm not used to it now but in the beginning, none of us could move without it being awkward.
Oh, well! I can't daydream forever! As quickly and silently as possible I head to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. So busy-nanoda! Breakfast for Hanacha! Breakfast for Chincha! Breakfast for Lucha! Breakfast for Honcha! Breakfast for little Heicha! Breakfast for Taru-Taru! And maybe some for Pudding… So busy…
When my family wakes up its very noisy! My four brothers run down the stairs like their buts are on fire! Heicha stays a bit behind because her legs are shorter. Then Taru-Taru teleports here and they immediately start eating. They're noisy! And the food disappears way to fast! But since Taru-Taru is here, he always saves me some. He's so nice-nanoda!
After breakfast my brothers went to wash their faces and brush their teeth. And then they get dressed for school. I used to help them but now they're all grown up! It's helpful. And meanwhile, I can do some laundry. Taru-taru helps me lots!
At seven-thirty we all leave the house. Hanacha, Chincha, Lucha and Honcha go to their school. Me, Taru-Taru and Heicha go to her school. Sensei is always there waiting for us. It's sad that next year, Heicha will be going with her brothers to the big kids' school. But Sensei will still come to help us and to visit us! So it's going to be fine!
"Good morning, Pudding, Taruto, Heicha-chan!" She waves at us smiling brightly.
"Good morning!" The three of us cheer, hand on hand, Heicha always in the middle.
And then we say goodbye and leave my sister with Sensei. I and human Taru-Taru walk to the Café. Because Pudding is such poor teleporter… But, even bad things have a good side! Taru-Taru pretends that he doesn't see or know, but he lets Pudding hold his hand on the walk there. It makes me so happy-nanoda!
When we arrive Zakuro-one-san, Shirogane-oni-san and Keiichiro-oni-san are already there. Always! So me and Taru-Taru get dressed after greeting everyone and start working. Today is our sweeping day so we head outside to… sweep.
Shortly after we start Lettuce-one-chan arrives and greets us very politely. She's always very polite. And after her, arrives Mint-one-chan on her limousine. She just waves at us.
Next has to be Aoyama-oni-chan! He smiles at us looking very sparkly and princely. Ichigo-one-chan doesn't have bad taste but Pudding prefers Taru-Taru a thousand times more!
"It's almost time to open." Taru-Taru calls me and we start to head inside but Pudding knows. I just hold the door open because Ichigo-one-chan should be almost here. And sure thing, she arrives in the nick of time with a piece of toast on her mouth, yelling "I'm late! I'm late!".
And that makes everyone. It's always a mystery to Pudding when Kishu-oni-chan arrives because he always teleports directly on to the inside of the Café. Mystery!
And our day working starts.
Shirogane-oni-san dazzles the costumers and shows them where to sit, and turns into a slave-driver in regard to his waitresses (at least according to Ichigo-one-chan). Keiichiro-oni-san and Kishu-oni-chan make delicious and beautiful parfaits and cakes. Lettuce-one-chan breaks some dishes. Taru-Taru and me serve our clients and preform our wonderful tricks together! Ichigo-one-chan tries too hard. Aoyama-oni-chan works perfectly. Mint-one-chan drinks tea and teases Ichigo-one-chan. Shirogane-oni-san and Lettuce-one-chan talk to each other, get awkward with each other and steal glances at each other all day. Zakuro-one-san scares some costumers. Ichigo-one-chan makes a fool out of herself. Kishu-oni-chan nearly hugs her and ends up getting awkward between the two. And finally I almost catch fire to the Café with my fire breathing stunt. A typical day.
And then it's time to close the Café. Everyone helps clean the daily mess and runs to receive its own daily profit. Things are looking better since Taru-Taru contributes with his money on the house.
When we are fully dressed, Taru-Taru and I say goodbye to all our oni-sans and one-sans and go shopping for some groceries. Today Sensei will bring Heicha so that we can go.
Taru-Taru pushes the car and I look for the things we need. In mid-way we end up arguing about wherever or not to buy ice-cream and candy. I let him have one piece. It's no good! Pudding has to be stricter! But then Taru-Taru holds Pudding's hand while eating his chocolate very happily and I forget about everything.
And as soon as we get home it's time to cook dinner. But before we must evade the attack my brothers prepared for us. No fear! Pudding was prepared for it so she teleports directly to the kitchen. It's a success! Almost… I ended up on top of the counter. Uuuuuuuuhhhhh! Why is Pudding so bad at this?
Taru-Taru shows up in the middle of preparations to help make dinner. Aaaawww! It's so nice when he helps!
What's not nice it's the war that follows! If I didn't know better I would think that my brother were starving the whole day. They just don't eat the table because I painted it with a special awfully bad tasteful paint. It was a clever idea-nanoda! Me, Sensei and Taru-Taru have to fight for our share. The strongest survives!
After dinner, always follows a quickly chase to force my brothers into the bath and bed. When it's finally quiet, the three of us clean the mess in the dining room and Sensei leaves for the night.
I and Taru-Taru take our baths and finally head to bed.
"Good night Taru-Taru!"
"'night Pudding."
And that's how Pudding's day goes! After this, all that is left is sleeping and waiting for another fun day! Pudding is a very happy girl-nanoda!
