Chapter 11: And now for today's cooking segment.
Austin awoke to the gentle sound of waves rolling against the beach. He simply lay curled up like a dog, fur-coat serving as a decent blanket against the morning chill. It may be Hawaii, but mornings could still get chilly. As he listened to the sound of the waves he realized, the sun was up. Just like him to sleep in past 11'o'clock. Austin stretched across the couch, flexing his muscles for the day ahead. He was going to meet the rest of the experiments today. Austin could hardly remember any of the lesser-known experiments, he just didn't recognize them when introduced, and he never was good with faces to begin with.
'Just think, another 311 today. Oh-well, at least I'll have some free time to hang out with some experiments afterwards.', he thought as he yawned and stood up. Austin glanced around at Bonnie's living room. She had a pretty big house for someone so small. His eyes scanned across the room and spotted a note on the television.
Austin,
I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you woke up. I had to got to work though. I left some cereal on the counter in the kitchen. The milk is in the fridge. Lilo called and wanted to let you know that she'd b there to introduce you to the rest of the ohana at 9:30. There's a clock in the kitchen.
Your friend, Bonnie
Austin smiled at the note. She wanted to be there when he woke up, but hey, duty calls. Austin walked to a door thinking it was the kitchen. It turned out to be a broom closet.
"Wow! Who knew Bonnie had a Firebolt!?", Austin said jokingly grabbing an old looking broom. He chuckled to himself as he felt the urge to pretend he was riding it. He mounted the broom and zoomed out of the closet. Austin kept making little 'whoosh' sounds as he tried another door. This time it WAS the kitchen. Austin set the broom down and looked at the cereal.
"Raisin Bran... Ew. No offense Bonnie, but you need better cereal." Austin went over to the fridge and looked inside. There weren't a lot of things inside, but that's to be expected of someone who lives by themself. Austin spotted a eight eggs, some milk, some syrup, and a lemon among the mismatched food items. An idea struck Austin. He closed the fridge door and looked around in some cupboards. Salt, Check; Flour, Check; Blender, Check; Lemon, Check; Powdered sugar, Check; Butter, Check; Cooking spray, Check; Large frying pan, Check: And last but not least, Oven, Check! Austin looked at the clockon the stove and discovered it was only 8:00.
"Sweet! Well, Let's make some Dutch Babies! I'm sure Bonnie won't mind if I drop half of it off!", Austin said excitedly as he began the measurements,"Now let's see if I remeber this correctly."
6 eggs
1 cup of milk
1cup of flour
1/3 teaspoon of salt
3 tablespoons of butter
Austin quietly recounted the measurements and steps to the cooking process,"Let's see, Preheat oven to 420 degrees. Spray large frying pan with non-stick spray and melt butter in oven as it warms up."
Austin continued following the steps from memory, mixing the eggs, milk, flour, and salt in the blender for 90 seconds, then pouring the mixture in the frying pan and baking it for 15-20 minutes. He set the timer to 18 minutes, just to be safe. He looked for a tupperware container to put Bonnie's half of the Dutch Baby in. He grabbed the perfect one and noticed it was the type to keep hot foods hot till you open the container. Austin took the Lemon and Maple syrup out of the fridge and cut the lemonwith his claw. His eyes wandered across the counter in front of him. An old looking radio lay on the counter, and Austin smiled.
He reached over to the radio and turned it on,"I wonder what's on?"
A song that Austin didn't recognise was finishing, and a new song began to play. Austin laughed happily and began to sing along with the lyrics.
"Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin' ev'rybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day hey,hey"Austin started dancing around the kitchen while singing,"Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mister blue sky is living here today hey, hey", Austin continued to dance around the kitchen and grabbed the broom as if it were a mike."Hey there mister blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around, see what you do
Ev'rybody smiles at you",Austin ended on his knees singing the last note to the heavens above. He panted with exhaustion.
Mister blue sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long
Where did we go wrong?
Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration, mister blue sky's up there waitin'
And today is the day we've waited for
Mister blue sky, mister blue sky
Mister blue sky
Mister blue, you did it right
But soon comes mister night creepin' over
Now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way
Mister blue sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long
Where did we go wrong?
Hey there mister blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around, see what you do
Ev'rybody smiles at you
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
"Thank you Hawaii!", he shouted dramaticly. He paused and laughed hystericlly. He was having a great time doing completely random things. He regained his complextion and sat down listening to the radio and waiting for the Dutch Baby to rise. Severals songs passed, only a few that Austin recognised, and the timer went off.
Austin's antennae stood straight and his eyes perked up,"It's ready!"
Austin grabbed a hot pad and pulled the giant german pancake out of the oven. It looked delecious!
"Ha! It's better than I planned it to be!", Austin smirked. 'Gordon Ramsey, eat your heart out!'
Austin carefully lifted the Dutch Baby from the pan and laid it inside of the tupperware container. He put a cap on it and grabbed two smaller containers, to fill with powdered sugar, and Maple syrup. Austin put the containers in a plastic bag, and he grabbed some silverware and the lemon halves. He smiled.
"I think it's time to give Bonnie a thank you present!", Austin said to the empty house. He cleaned the pan, put away any left over ingrediants or measuring cups, and turned the oven off.
Austin smiled and started humming as he left Bonnie's house.
"I'm off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz! Because, because, because, becaaauuuse, of all the wonderful things he does!"
Austin skipped down the road till he calmed down. Hawaii really was a beutiful place, the tropical flowers, the wild animals, the cool sea breeze... A wind blew and Austin spread his arms as he inhaled the smell of the sea with joy. It felt so good, the wind blowing across one's skin, or in his matter, fur, contrasted against the warm sun beating down. Austin's stomach growled and he rubbed it.
"Don't worry, you'll be satisfyed soon enough.", He continued walking down the path, past the wildflowers and trees, until he spotted a certain flower. It was blue with a yellow center and many little stamen's that turned blue at the tips. It looked so pretty.
'It would look even prettier if Bonnie wore it...', Austin thought. He smiled and picked the flower, carrying it with him as he walked to the police station. He looked at the flower in his hands, admiring it's elegent beauty, and smiling as he continued to walk down the path. He turned onto the sidewalk and hummed a quiet tune to himself. Nothing in particular, just a little hum to pass the time as he walked. The police station came into view and Austin thought about Bonnie. She had been a real flirt to him when he first showed up, then quickly became his closest friend on the island. He really liked Bonnie, but didn't know if she really liked him back, or if she had her eyes set on someone else. Austin didn't like to think about what is and what might be so. It just hurt to think about it for too long. He walked up the steps to the Police station, and walked up to the front desk.
A sweet looking Hawaiian woman looked at him and asked," Hi! What can I help you with?"
He smiled at her politeness and nodded,"Yes, I would like to know, is Bonnie in right now?"
The woman nodded,"She is. Why? Are you a friend of hers?"
"Yep! Also, do you know if she had breakfast this morning?", Austin asked nonchalantly. The woman looked up, trying recall.
"No... No, I don't think she did... You want to talk to her?", She asked him nicely.
"Yes, I brought her some breakfast for the two of us to share!", he raised the bag up.
The woman smiled some more,"Well aren't you a little sweety? C'mon, she's right through here."
Austin blushed lightly and followed her through a door and walked down the halls of offices. The woman knocked on a door and peeked inside.
"Hey Bonnie? You got a visitor."
"Oh? Thanks Julie, send 'em in.", Austin heard Bonnie say.
Austin poked his antennae around the door waved them. Bonnie giggled,"Mornin' Austin. What are you doing here?"
Austin let Julie walk out and he walked in,"Weeeellll, a little birdie had a feeling that you didn't have breakfast and told me. I deceided to make something for the two of us. No offence, but Rasin Bran isn't nearly as good as a Dutch Baby."
Bonnie laughed,"Yeah, I'm with ya' there. I just didn't have a lot of breakfast foods. Sorry. Wait, you made a Dutch Baby?"
Austin smiled and pulled the tupperware containers and opened the large one.
"Wow! You weren't kidding. This looks delicious! Well, let's dig in!", Bonnie said. Austin held up a hand.
"Hold on. Close your eyes first.", Austin told her.
"What? Why?"
"Don't ask, you'll find out in a second.", he told her. Bonnie rolled her eyes but closed them anyway. She felt something get placed between her ear and head.
"Okay, you can open them! I hope you have a mirror."
Bonnie raised an eyebrow. She pulled a drawer from her desk open and pulled out a small mirror.
She gasped. Austin had placed a beautiful blue lily between her ear and her head. It fit perfectly, and made her feel beautiful.
She smiled, blushed, and batted her eyelashes,"Thank you. I love it!"
She leaned over her desk and gave him a hug. Austin blushed himself, and rubbed the back of his head as he smiled.
"No problem. I was right you know.", Austin said slyly.
"Oh? Whaddya mean by that?", Bonnie raised an eyebrow curiously.
"Well I was right, you do look even more beautiful with the flower.", Austin told her. Bonnie blushed even more and looked away.
"Ooohh! You! So sweet!",Bonnie squeeled like a giddy schoolgirl. There was a knock on the door. Clyde opened the door to and glanced in.
"Everything okay? I thought I heard a scream.", Clyde asked with concern. Austin chuckled.
"It's fine, I just told her a fact. The fact that she's beautiful!", Austin explained happily. Bonnie squeeled again, only quieter. Clyde laughed heartily.
"I see. Now you take good care of this one Bonnie. He'll make a good boyfriend. I can tell.", Clyde said with a smile. He ducked and narrowly avoided a shoe to the face. Bonnie was standing on her desk with an agry and embarrassed expression plastered on her face. Clyde quickly ducked out of the room, obviously to prevent anything else from being thrown at him. Bonnie jumped off her desk and grabbed her shoe off of the floor. Austin was still a little shocked at what Clyde had said. His brain was sort of on the fritz right now.
"Umm... Let's eat?", Austin suggested. Bonnie turned around and smiled.
"Sure!"
Today was going to be an eventful day, Austin had a good feeling.
