A/N: WOOO! It hasn't been a year since my last update, it's only been a month! I'm getting better guys, I'm updating faster! Let's have a party to celebrate!

*nobody comes*

Anyway, this chapter was typed up for you magical starfish at a very late hour that I can't remember. Enjoy!

Certain words bring certain images to my mind. For instance, the word "car" makes me picture the Laytonmobile. The word "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" makes me picture people dancing and singing due to the fact Flora's made me watch Mary Poppins more times than I care to admit. "Robot" makes me picture the citizens of St. Mystere; "crazy" makes me picture Don Paolo's hairstyle, and "dentist" makes me picture an evil psychopath in a white coat attacking my mouth with sharp silver tools.

If you couldn't guess, I don't like dentists.

It's not that I'm afraid of them, it's that I don't enjoy people judging my mouth. I know for a fact that I have a beautiful set of pearly-whites, which was why I was particularly grumpy at the moment, and confused as to why I had just been given a filling.

"Professor," I whined on the way back from my checkup. "My mouth huuuuurts."

"Luke, it's not gentlemanly to whine. Try to relax, and once we arrive at the flat we can ice it."

Now, it may have just been the laughing gas still in effect, but as soon as I heard the word "ice", I pictured ice cream. Ice cream was cold, so eating it would help ice my tooth and make it feel better. Plus, I would be eating ice cream before dinner. What was better than that?

The professor, however, had another idea. Instead of handing me a bowl of deliciousness when we got home, he handed me a non-delicious ice cube with a paper towel wrapped around it so my fingers wouldn't get chilly as I held it against my tooth.

Seeing as I had just suffered minor surgery, I had the power to make others pity me on my side. So, I put on my loveable-little-boy-face and asked, "Professor? Could I maybe have some ice cream instead?"

He chuckled. "Nice try, my boy. The reason you got that filling in the first place is because you've been eating too many sweets, so giving you more sweets would defeat its purpose. The ice cube will help soothe the pain without damaging your teeth." I pouted as I took the ice and slumped into a kitchen chair. Professor Layton gave me a pat on the shoulder before leaving to take care of chores.

Opening my mouth as wide as possible, I managed to fit my hand in so I could place the ice cube on my back molar…and then realized just how uncomfortable sitting with an ice cube on your back molar was. Unsatisfied by the non-tooth damaging solution, I took out the ice cube and threw it and the paper towel into the garbage.

I needed ice cream. It was calling to me, serenading me with a song of sugary goodness and creamy bliss. I peered around the kitchen door to make sure the Professor wasn't coming back, and when I saw the coast was clear I bolted to the silverware drawer to grab a spoon, then pranced to the freezer and threw open its door. There, sitting atop various frozen items, was a large tub of chocolate ice cream. I tore off the lid, scooped some of the chilly decadence up, brought it to my mouth, and…

My tooth was immediately on fire. Eyes wide, I ran to the sink for water. I could feel the sugar attacking my tooth. I always thought sugar and I were friends, but the filling had torn us apart.

You know what? That's why I don't like dentists: they keep me away from sweets.

Nobody keeps me away from my sweets.

A/N: To actually spell "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" I have to sing the song in my head, and although it's in my head, it always ends up being sung with a british accent. Just a fun fact.

Gosh, I feel like I'm most inspired when it comes to food fics. The only problem with that is that after I'm done writing, I always find myself hungry! I mean, a cookie or twenty after a successful chapter can't hurt, right? 'Course not.

Thanks for reading, and as always I'm happy to take any requests. I'd love to hear your though and suggestions, so leave a review!

Until next update!
