Ch.7: Cookie Fiasco

"Bright New Future"

The next day when Gohan, his twin sisters, Akurei and Marai Trunks arrived at school, everyone was talking about the mysterious gold fighter.

"Can't they talk about anything else?" Akurei questioned her friends.

"Obviously not." Peresia answered. The gang walked down the hall to their first period class. Since it was B day, they would all have Home Ec together. They turned the corner of the walkway and stepped into their first period classroom on the right hand side.

Once they entered the room they first noticed the many different smells and all the sets of kitchens lined up on the walls with tables in the middle of the room. Each kitchen was a small square and consisted of a stove, refrigerator, cabinets, a microwave and an island in the middle to do the food preparations.

"Hey guys!" Gohan and the others turned around and saw Nami walking towards them with a guy that had black hair and a single orange stripe on the right of his face. "This is my boyfriend, Luke. I told him all about the bikers and what y'all did for me." She smiled in appreciation at the small group.

"I appreciate what you guys did for Nami. I'm truly in your debt." Luke reached out and shook both Gohan and Trunks' hands.

"It's no problem. We were glad to help." Trunks smiled in return.

"They really should put a fence around the school so stuff like that wouldn't happen." Yuki stated.

"I heard the principle talking about how they are going to put one up to the police chief this morning." Akurei spoke, not even mentioning that she used her super hearing to listen upon the conversation.

"Ok class." Everyone turned their attention the teacher who stood behind a large desk in the front of the room. She was an elderly lady with stark white hair and blue eyes, hidden behind a pair of circular glasses. "My name is Mrs. Kooki. There is a card at each station with the recipe for a type of cookie that you will bake for me today. There are 29 students and only 10 stations, so get into groups of three with one group of two and choose a station. All your ingredients should be in the cabinets, if not, just let me know."

The class broke up into groups. Akurei, Peresia and Yuki made one group; Trunks, and Gohan made up the group of two; and Nami, along with her boyfriend, paired up with another friend.

Akurei and her group chose the kitchen closest to the door, and Gohan and Trunks took the one right behind the girls.

"The groups you are in now will be the groups you'll have this quarter." The teacher began to speak once moor. "And also, remember which station you are at because you will be responsible for it as well, that means keeping it clean and etc. Now begin your baking and during the last twenty minutes of class, we will all taste test the hyper cookies." (a/n: this is a 90 minute class, but it may not seem like it)

"Look. We get to make chocolate chip peanut butter cookies." Peresia stated with glee as she looked at the card on the center of the island.

"Yummy. My favorite." Yuki smiled with happiness.

"Me too." Akurei chirped in. The three giggled in joy, which did not go unnoticed by Trunks and Gohan.

"What are y'all laughing about?" Gohan leaned over.

"Oh.nothing." The trio tried to hide their smiles, but it didn't last. "What kind of cookie are y'all making?" Peresia asked nosily.

"We get to make." Trunks flipped over the card and looked at it. "M&M cookies."

"Yummy. This is going to be my favorite class yet." Yuki closed her eyes and rubbed her tummy.

"What did you guys get?" Gohan asked the girls.

"We got chocolate chip peanut butter." Akurei stated matter of factly.

"That sounds good." Trunks smiled.

"Yeah, but we better get started before we get in trouble. Gohan and Trunks went to their own jobs and so did the trio of female saiyans.

"Let's get our ingredients together first." Akurei looked at the list and the twins got ready, as if they were racing. "We need the peanut butter of course." Peresia rushed to the cabinet and grabbed the jar labled 'PB' and placed it on the counter. "Chocolate chips." Yuki grabbed the chocolate chips from the cabinet and placed it with the peanut butter. "Flour and eggs." Peresia rushed to the refrigerator and Yuki ran to the cabinet, all three smiling with glee. Now the eggs, flour, chocolate chips and peanut butter were sitting together on the counter. "And milk, sugar and butter." In an attempt to gather everything first, Peresia and Yuki ran about and grabbed the last of the items.

~*~

Trunks and Gohan had gathered their items in a pile as well, and were just about to begin mixing everything together when Videl walked in the door.

"Sorry I'm late Mrs. Kooki. I had to deal with a few jewelry robbers." Videl spoke innocently as she stood in the doorframe awaiting directions.

"It's quite alright." The teacher smiled and pushed her glasses up. "We've already began class. Gohan and Trunks will be your group since they only have two members. They'll explain what you're doing."

"Thanks." Videl made her way to the kitchen where Trunks and Gohan stood, patiently waiting for her. "Hey guys, what's the recipe?" She smiled softly.

"We're making M&M cookies." Gohan answered handing her the small white index card.

"Oooh! My favorite." Videl clasped her hands together happily and took the card from Gohan.

"We were just about to mix the batter."

"Well let's get to it." Videl earnestly spoke as she reached for the bowl and whisk.

1 hour later:

"Everyone's finished so we'll begin the taste test ten minutes early. I have placed a plate with a sample of each cookie in front of a chair at the center tables. There is a piece of paper and a pencil for you to write what you think are the top three flavors. Go have a seat and eat away!" The teacher put a lot of emphasis on the last sentence, she was always so effervescent (a/n: this word means giddy in case you didn't know. We just had it for a vocab word so it kinda stuck. ^-^) when it came to cooking.

The class took their seats and began tasting the sweet smelling sugar high pills (talking about the cookies). Peresia ans the others were enjoying this. They were getting a chance to eat, but as they all reached one cookie in particular, Peresia, Yuki, Trunks, Akurei and Gohan raced to the trash cans. Their faces had turned pale then green as they all attempted to reach the garbage before it was to late.

They spat out the disgusting cookie and rinsed their mouths with water from the sinks. Videl and the whole class had watched the five in confusion.

"What's wrong?" Videl asked as the groups sat back in their seats with sour expressions, trying to get the taste of the deadly (not literally) cookie out of their mouths.

"You taste the caramel cookie and see for yourself." Yuki insisted in disgust, pointing to what seemed to be a very delicious looking cookie cooked to perfection. Videl and the whole class took a bite of the cookie they had been told was nasty, all with a little hesitation.

All at once, the whole class began to run for the garbage cans, everyone's face green. On their ways, they knocked Yuki, Akurei and Peresia to the ground (they were sitting on the inside of all the tables) and began to trample them.

Gohan and trunks quickly shoved their chairs back and got to the floor, and reaching their hands into the mass of feet, they grabbed the girls legs and yanked them, pulling them from the crowd of feet and legs, safely to their sides.

"Thanks." The females stood up, wiping their clothes to get all of the dirt off of them. "Remind me to move next time we say something like that to the class." Peresia and Akurei knodded in agreement. The five looked to the mob of students swarming the sinks and garbage cans, and a sweatdrop appeared on all of their heads.

~*~

Once everyone had finished, the teacher collected the surveys and began to tally each different type of cookie to find the winners.

"It looks like the top three cookies are M&M, peanut butter chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin. These three flavors will be the ones used for the Valentines party in two weeks."

"That's right. I forgot all about Valentines Day." Peresia stated in awe. She couldn't believe she had forgotten a thing like that.

"The party sounds like fun." Videl added.

"You're telling me. Free food." Yuki rubbed her belly and Peresia and Yuki, along with the two boys smiled.

: RING:

"Have a great day!" The teacher yelled as all the students filed out of the class and headed to their second period class.

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

A/N: Sorry it took so long for the seventh chapter. You know how it is when you have schoolwork to do. I promise to get the next chapter up soon, but only after I get some reviews, so please review. K? Talk to you later! ^_~

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

Next Time:

'New Found Love' (This is kind of a filler chapter to introduce the two guys that Akurei and Yuki fall in love with. Not much action, but I can't just skip the rest of the day. Anyway, like I said, Akurei and Yuki fall in love with these guys in their chemistry class. It looks like sparks are gonna fly. The next chapter after that one, however, shows Gohan and Trunks being overprotective of their baby sisters. You'll see. ^-^)

Stay Tuned!
