Sorry for the slight delay, I lost track of the days as I'm rarely looking at a calendar during vacations.

Inspiration: Well, the breakfast gotta go somehow and I got this funny mental image of an imaginary kid(he'd be around two years old) eating ramen with his hands. And looking perfectly innocent too. But I think chibi Gaara is a little older than that, my mom said he sounded like four or five years old when I let her read through this story.

Whatever, on with the story...


Part five – Pancake mountain

Little chibi Gaara was a mountain climber and was just about to climb a mountain of pancakes. There were many obstacles to overcome if he was to reach the top but Gaara wasn't going to back down. This was a mission and missions has to be completed. Armed with a fork, a knife and two spoons he went to work.

Rivers of syrup crossed his path every now and then, lakes of jam stretched as far as he could see, vast plains of sugar to get lost on, glaciers of ice cream to breach and pits of whipped cream to avoid. This was indeed a perilous quest as the wrong move could leave him sinking in a pit of whipped cream forever. And mountain climber Gaara wasn't planning on staying here that long. Not was just the terrain treacherous but the weather as well. It would hail sugar over the vast plain, pour syrup into the rivers, snow whipped cream in huge drifts blocking his path and the pancake mountain would quake and spit jam at him from newly opened ravines.

Suddenly an especially forceful earthquake heaved the pancake mountain high and shattered it all over. Pancake rubble laid everywhere partially covered in syrup, jam, ice cream and whipped cream decorated with sugar. What a mess! Mountain climber Gaara must find his lost equipment among the rubble as a spoon was missing from the earthquake. He immediately dug in as time was against him...

"Gaara, quit playing with your food" came Temari's voice. Gaara looked up at her. Temari almost had to bite her hand to avoid laughing. Gaara sat by the kitchen table with a plate in front of him and slices of the pancakes she had made him laid on the plate and a half foot radius outside it on the table among splatters of syrup, whipped cream and jam, half-melted bits of ice cream and lots of sugar. His hands were coated with jam, ice cream, whipped cream and syrup and he had smudges on his face where he had scratched himself. And he was now sucking his fingers while looking innocently at her. It is at times like these you curse yourself for hiding the camera.

"Look at the mess you've done Gaara. Ain't you gonna eat your pancakes?" she smiled. Gaara looked at the mess he had caused through the earthquake. He suddenly transformed from mountain climber to a clean-up monster and literally dug in on the mess before him. Licking his fingers Gaara decided he should take it easy for a while. Eating a pancake mountain gets you quite full. If he hadn't been Gaara he would've taken a nap.


Needless to say, this was the chapter I had the most fun thinking up, I almost couldn't breathe from laughter at a few times while writing XD

Oh yeah, and I won't be posting next chapter before I've figured out this word I just can't seem to find in my dictionaries. I'm not native English, just very good at it, and imagine a single word hindering you from posting, how frustrating! It's an important word too, dammit! sighs I need to find a better dictionary... or you'll have to wait until I get back to school next week. It'll probably be the latter...
