"Would you go get the sugar, Thor?" The cook requested.

Thor pursed his lips, crossing his arms. "But I just got you the sugar, and then you told me to put it back!" He huffed.

"That's because I was making soup," The cook explained patiently. "But now that that's done, I'm going to start making krumkake."

"KRUMKAKE!?" Thor exclaimed excitedly. "I love krumkake!"

The cook shook her head, laughing slightly. "Who doesn't? Now go get me that sugar, or else I can't make the dessert."

Thor ran off to the store room.

The cook got a large bowl ready while she waited for the prince to return.

She frowned when after a few minutes, he still hadn't shown up with the sugar.

"What could be taking him so long?" She wondered aloud.


Thor stared around the storage room. There was the small jar of sugar which he'd brought earlier, but surely it was not nearly enough for the amount of krumkake that needed to be made...

His blue eyes locked on a large barrel, which was almost as tall as he was, the diameter over thrice his width, labeled 'SUGAR.' He grinned.

Walking over to it, he tried to pick it up, only apparently it was full to the brim; he lifted it slowly and took a few toddler-sized steps, before it slipped from his arms and landed on his foot.

"THAT HURT!" Thor yelped, holding his foot and jumping around on one leg. "FOUL PLAY! THAT FOOT'S ALREADY BEEN BRUISED, YOU SUGARY FIEND!"

Thor kicked the barrel.

"OW!" He yelled, his bruised foot sustaining more damage than the barrel.

Thor glared at the sugar barrel for several moments.

Deciding that the best way to get the sugar to the cook would be to get the container onto its side so he could roll it out, he tried to push it over.

Only it wouldn't budge from its upright position.

Thor growled in frustration, putting his shoulder against the barrel and pushing with all his might, managing to make it tilt, its bottom lifting slightly from the ground. He took another step as he continued leaning against the container, only to have it slip, its bottom once again falling to the floor.

Right on top of Thor's foot.

"NOT AGAIN!" He wailed.

As his foot continued to throb, Thor regarded the barrel, sizing it up like a warrior would an enemy.

Finally he approached it, bending his knees and moving his arms behind him, then throwing his arms up and jumping as high as he could, kicking his legs out straight in front of him as he did so, so that they slammed into the top of the container with all the power of the young god.

The force knocked the barrel over onto its side, though it also sent Thor back-planting against the floor.

He pushed himself into a sitting position, placing a hand on his knee and getting to his feet, grinning triumphantly at the conquered sugar barrel.

Vaulting over the container to the other side, Thor began rolling it out into the kitchen.


The cook stared.

Thor stood in front of her, smiling proudly, one of the huge wooden cylinders of sugar, that was actually bigger than he was, in front of him. He was covered from head to toe in flour, as well as smelling strongly pepper and bay leaf from the sweet sauce that a kitchen staff spilled on him when they accidentally knocked into him and the barrel.

"Is there anything else you need me to fetch?" He asked brightly.

"Yeah, I need some butter—" The cook started before pausing, apparently thinking better of it. "You know what, I'll go get the other ingredients, and you work on getting the sugar upright."

She hurried off, leaving Thor to stare at the container and figure out how in Asgard he was going to accomplish that.


Eheheheh... }:)

Guest: Fer realsies ;D I am like, almost incapable of writing one-shots... I mean, the AU story's already at 9 pages, and it's still basically the beginning O.o I probably won't be able to get the story out till the summer though... which isn't actually all that far away :) Anyway, thank you so much love! ^.^ I'm so pleased you're enjoying my work!

On a completely different note, have you guys seen the Thor 2 trailer yet?! It just came out on youtube today and it is AMAZING! O_O (I had a total fangirl attack after seeing it XD)

But before (or after) you go rushing off to watch it... mind leaving a review for me? :3 I'd love to hear what you think of the chapter!
