(Hiya, everybody! I'mmmmmmm baaaa-aack!! And I'm here with another funny fic [at least I think it's funny. I hope you do too. ^_^]. I am also here
to say that I sadly do not own Escaflowne [but if I did, BOY what a series that would be! ^_^]. I also don't own Disney World, and if Mama Rosa's
Bakery actually exists, well I don't own that either. Anyway, enough of me. ON WITH THE FIC!)
Escaflowne at A Bakery:
Chapter One
"Well, I think this is the place."
Dilandau looked up at the sign that read "Mama Rosa's Bakery". The "Help Wanted" sign in the window matched the flier they had been given.
They walked inside.
It smelled like heaven. The scent of sugar and chocolate wafted up to the nose of every passer-by. Behind the counter were shelves laden with
cookies, fudge, candies, cakes, muffins, pies, biscuts, donuts, bagels, (am I making you hungry? ^-^) caramel apples, and.............
"COTTON CANDY!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Dilly's eager voice echoed throughout the mostly empty seating area. Those who were there, including Mama Rosa, gave him long, hard stares.
Dilly looked around at the people. Feeling offended, he pulled out his flamethrower (out of mid-air, I guess. shrug) and asked innocently,
"What?".
Everyone turned away. Mama Rosa came out from behind the counter. She was a rather fat woman, dressed in a pink T-shirt, black jeans, and a
white apron. Her brown hair was wrapped in a bun underneath her hairnet. "So," she said to the group, " whaddya want?"
Everyone except Dilly replied, " A job." Dilly said, " I'm here for the cotton candy."
Mama Rosa rolled her eyes. " I'm not making YOU the taste tester. Here, fill these out first." She handed the group applications.
They filled them out and gave them back. "OK, let's see here..." She looked over the papers. "We got a pyro, a cyborg, a prince, a princess, some
guy with long hair, a tomboy in a skirt, and a cat...person...? Wha? Just where are you people from, anyway? The freak show?"
"Hey..."
Hitomi slapped Folken in the face. "Shut up, you numbskull!" She turned to Mama Rosa. "We come from all sorts of places."
Sweatdropping, Mama Rosa nodded. " I'll believe that. Okay..." she tossed aprons and chefs' hats at the group. "Here. I need all the help I can
get. I'll give you the jobs according to...uh,well...to whatever will work. Alright...Pyro - oven."
Dilly literally floated to his new position.
"OK, uh, I need two taste testers---"
"Memememememe!!!!" Allen stepped forward. "Oh, and uh...her too." Allen reached behind him and, coincedentally, grabbed Hitomi's hand.
Mama Rosa just nodded. "Uh,okay. Yeah. Um...Cyborg - Mixer."
Folken smiled. "I was hoping for that part anyway."
"I don't DARE ask why." flip, flip, flip "Let's see here...Princess - cash register."
Millerna smirked. "Of course. Money is truly my area." She sauntered over to the register, adding a little swing to her hips. She glanced over her
shoulder and cast a seductive look to Allen.
Mama Rosa, however, was less pleased at Millerna's act. "Uh, sorry Miss, but those aren't the kinds of buns we sell here."
Millerna, now highly offended, harrumphed under her breath and stormed to her place behind the counter. " I'm ready," she gruffly replied.
Mama Rosa shook her head and continued. "Okay...I need a stockboy. Princie, that's you.
Van's eyes shone brightly as Mama Rosa handed him a special package. "...the...key...ohhhh..." Van skipped happily towards the back of
the store.
Mama Rosa turned to Merle. "You can do freezer stock. You have a nice fur coat to keep you warm."
Merle pouted. "Why can't I be the mixer?"
"Your coat is why. All your fur would fall into the batter...unless you consider a hairnet suit."
Merle's heart skipped a beat as she envisioned an image of herself wrapped up in hairnets. Quickly she grabbed the freezer key and scampered
after Van. " I'm freezing! I'm freezing!"
With everyone in their proper positions, the work began and before anyone knew it, it was time to close. Except there was one problem - our
group had no place to sleep. Mama Rosa agreed to let them sleep at the bakery, under the one condition that they don't touch the machinery or
the food. With that problem solved, Mama Rosa left, and everyone curled up by the fire (except for Dilly, who slept IN the fire) to dream of the
morning to come.
