A/N: Er... lets see here... I'm really bored and I don't feel like continuing any of my other fics, and I couldn't stop thinking about the yellow jello thing from science so... yeah. This is the dangerous result of not having a life.

Disclaimer: Not mine. Well, the Tortall characters aren't. Maybe there will be some lord of the rings or harry potter characters in here, too. I don't know yet. I may never know.I suppose the Cook King is sorta mine. Heh. Well, the yellow jello thing isn't my idea either. I took it from my science teacher. Well, she didn't actually write a story about it, but... OK I'LL JUST WRITE THE STORY ALREADY!!! Enjoy! (as everyone shakes their heads and goes "Yeah... riiiiight...")

Yellow Jello Chapter 1

The cooks were in the kitchen preparing a tasty treat to keep to themselves (greedy little cooks)to celebrate Midwinter and the end of all the young knights' Ordeals. They were very surprised when a young and jolly person came skipping through the kitchen doors.

"Hello, cooks! Isn't it just a jolly day?!?" Owen demanded. He sounded more like he was threatening them then asking them a question. "Well? Isn't it?!?" He demanded again. The cooks just gave him strange looks and tried to conceal the treat they had been working on all day.

But Owen was too quick for them. "What is that?" He demanded. "Is that...." *dramatic pause* "YELLOW JELLO?!?"

"Yes..." The Cook King gave in. (A/N: Sorry I had to type that) "It is..." *dramatic pause* "YELLOW JELLO."

All the cooks gasped in surprise. Their Cook King gave away the secret of the Yellow Jello. It was a sacred jello, and the recipe was passed down from Cook King to Cook King. No one but a cook could ever learn of the existence of the Yellow Jello. But, alas, their king had told this... jolly... youngster about the Yellow Jello. All the cooks held their breaths as they waited to see what the non-cook would do with the information.

"YELLOW JELLO! Sweet! Can I have some?!?"

All the cooks gasped. This was the worst they could possibly expect. They all turned to their Cook King and awaited orders. Perhaps they could make this youngster into a human stew that Duke Roger would enjoy... (A/N: Read Tortallan Fairy Tales Chapter 1 and you would understand that...)

"You most certainly canNOT have any Yellow Jello." The Cook King finally said. But Owen payed no heed to the Cook King. Everyone gasped as Owen dug his hands into the Yellow Jello and proceeded to shovel several handfuls of the sacred Yellow Jello into his mouth.

Full, Owen burped, leaving the kitchen wordlessly. The cooks, including the Cook King, just stared at him as he left, then at the kitchen doors after he had left their sight completely.

"Oh... hello Owen." Kel said as she passed Owen in the palace halls. "Hey, Kel! Wazzup?" Owen replied. Kel just looked at Owen uncertainly, then up at the ceiling. She looked deep in thought for a moment, then shook her head, still uncertain.

"Is there something wrong, Owen?" She asked instead. "You look sort of... yellow."

"Huh? What? Ye-yellow?"Owen stuttered.

"Well... yes. Yellow."

"As in Yellow Jello?" Owen asked.

"I suppose...." Kel trailed off uncertainly. Owen was getting much to complicated these days.

Suddenly Owen looked less yellow and more green. He looked at Kel and ran straight towards the bathroom.

**********************************************

"What will we do? The jolly youngster has eaten the sacred Yellow Jello!" One cook asked the Cook King, as if the Cook King hadn't seen Owen dig into the Yellow Jello.

The Cook King just rubbed his temples and looked deep in thought. "We can only wait..." he concluded finally. "If he tells anyone else about it, we will be forced to kill him...." *dramatic pause* "Aztec style." (lol morgan&katie if ur reading this.)

The cooks faces looked grim but decided. They nodded and bowed to their king and continued on to their cooking.

*********************************************

"Kel! Kel! Kel!" Owen exclaimed as he raced down the hall. ( lol No running in the halls! Do you have a hall pass?) He raced to Kel's door and didn't even bother to knock before flinging open the door. He opened the door onto a scene that looked like it could have been from the movie Twister. (actually i wouldn't know, I've never seen the movie)

"K-Kel?" Owen stuttered for the second time today. "Might it be better if I came back another time?"

He heard no answer, so he crept further into the dimly lit room. "Kel...?" he questioned carefully. Finally he found her. She and Yuki were lying on the floor in the corner, motionless, with pink streaks all over them.

Owen was about to scream with despair for his friends when re-examined them. Pink streaks? Why pink streaks? He looked puzzled for a moment before seeing Kel and Yuki both stir, then sit up and yawn. Once they were fully awake, they looked at each other and laughed hysterically.

"That was great!"

"Oh my gosh, I got you soooooo bad!"

Owen looked from Kel to Yuki uncertainly. (No you sick minded fools, I know what your thinking. Your wrong) Then he looked at the pink streaks on their arms again, for the first time noticing almost-empty lipstick-sticks (?) clasped in each of their hands.

He just gaped at them. "You gotta be kidding me. Did you guys... have a... lipstick fight?!?" He demanded. Kel and Yuki just giggled some more. "Kel! I'm ashamed of you!" Owen reproached. "Acting like a girl! Its not at all like you!"

Kel suddenly turned more serious. "Owen... I AM a girl."

Owen looked embarassed, then looked away. Finally he spoke. "Kel, there is something very important that I have to tell you.... about me looking yellow and the Yellow Jello...."

Didja like it??? Hmm... Today is Monday, but I think I'll wait till the weekend to post this. More people read and review on the weekend. Will Owen tell Kel the secret of the Yellow Jello? Will the cooks find out and be forced to kill Owen.... Aztec style???
