Chapter Five

Fingers and Cakes

"Frosting the cake should be pretty easy." Umi said.

Ascot nodded.

"So I won't need your help." Umi sniffed as she took out the frosting.

"Oh." Ascot mumbled as he kicked at nothing on the floor.

He actually felt like crying. He felt so hurt hearing that.

Just then Nova popped in.

"Hidy-ho neighbors!" Nova said as she plopped down on the counter.

Umi glared at Nova.

"What do you want?" Umi snapped.

"SUGAR!" Nova replied instantly.

Umi and Ascot sweat dropped.

Umi then went on to spreading the white frosting on to the cake. Nova looked on and drooled.

Drip.

Drop.

Drip.

Drop.

Drip.

Drop.

Drip-

"Ahhh quit drooling already!" Umi yelled.

Nova blinked. "I can't help it!" Nova cried.

Umi grumbled as she put some frosting into a tube. One of those kinds you use for frosting a cake.

Nova looked around to see what she could do to help. she spotted the food coloring. Red blue and yellow. She dipped her finger in the red dye.

Her eyes began to gleam. "ooo red...." She whispered.

She coated both her hands in the very dark dye, which was almost black.

"Ahhh I'm covered in blood!" Nova cried as she put her hands in Umi's face.

Umi screamed and fell back on her butt.

"Ha-Ha!" Nova said as she rubbed her hands on Umi's arm. "It's just food coloring!"

Umi looked less than pleased. "What the dingbats do you think you're doing Nova?!" Umi cried.

Nova shrugged. "Fuu doesn't like red anyway."

Umi's head got really big and she yelled. "GET OUT!"

Nova's eyes filled with tears and her bottom lip trembled.

"I'm sorry," Umi said with a sigh.

Nova cheered up instantly. Umi then sighed. She put some green food coloring into the tube she had and then began to make little green flowers using the nozzle on the end of the tube.

Nova poked her finger in the side of the cake when Umi wasn't looking. A finger sized hole appeared. Nova poked another hole.

"OoO! This is fun!" Nova cried as she poked yet another hole.

"What is?" Umi asked slowly.

"Umm.... Watching you make dinky stupid flowers." Nova replied.

Umi rolled her eyes.

Nova poked one more hole. But by then she was bored.

"Can I help?" She asked.

Umi shook her head. "I don't need help."

Umi then turned around to get out another container of frosting. Nova took this time to lick the top of the cake. Looking at the cake it was obvious that someone had licked it. Umi turned around and freaked.

"DID YOU JUST LICK THE CAKE?!" Umi shrieked.

Nova shook her head. "Nope. It was Ascot!"

Ascot sweat dropped. "No it wasn't!"

Umi pulled out her mallet. "Both of you are gonna get smashed!"

Umi chased after Nova and Ascot. Just as they neared the door way Umi was gaining on Nova. She swung the mallet, just as Clef walked into the room. She hit him right in the head.

Little Mokona's swirled around his head.

"Uh-oh." Umi said as she sweat dropped.

Nova sat down all out of energy. She sat right in the cake.
