Chapter nine
Making spaghetti sauce…with a tomato smasher
Kya p.o.v
"Hey mom, whats for dinner?" I asked as I danced in the kitchen. My mom growled lowly seeing the faded bruise around my eye.
"That dance thing happened a month ago and your eye still won't heal?" she asked. I shrugged and pointed o the garlic she was cutting.
"Oh, I was just going to ask if a couple of you could juice some tomatoes. We're doing spaghetti with homemade sauce since it seems that they don't sell sauce at the local store." she said. I nodded and went to get Demi and Win since they tend to enjoy this kinda thing.
"Hey Grandpa." I called as I passed Lokar in the hallway.
"What's your rush?" he asked.
"Gotta find a couple people for making homemade spaghetti." I explained.
"I'll help." called Zane as he came out of his room.
"So will I." Lokar put in. I shrugged and beckoned them to follow me. My dad mumbled something about it being weird that Zane was his age yet looked only a few years older than his daughter to which mom replied by smacking him. Lokar laughed and he got whacked by Grandma.
"Um hello, dinner is more important." I spoke up, stopping a smacking war before it even started. They all looked sheepish before returning to their previous duties. Once we had the ingredients together we began. Boy it was a mess. Most of it made it to the bowl though. Well until I got both bored of doing this and tired of the dirty looks my helpers kept shooting my dad. I grabbed a particularly juicy tomato and stuffed it into the machine, before taking the wooden cylinder stick we used to get them completely smashed and smashed said tomato. I ducked just in time but the boys got covered in it. Zan grabbed our fattest tomatoes and jammed them in to the thing. MERLIN!
"IT'S GONNA BLOW!" I yelled. We ducked but Mom, Dad, Aunt Zair, and Uncle Boomer ran in and got the full blast of it. We couldn't help but laugh looking at them.
"WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS!?" My dad asked. Lokar and I pointed to Zane who looked highly offended before going to wash up and change.
