Terrorizing the Cook.
Seiko sat on the floor of the kitchen, a hand clasped around her ever-swelling stomach. Only three months into her pregnancy and already, the strange cravings had begun.
The fat cook took a look at the Fire Lord's pitiful wife and sighed.
"What would you like today, Lady Seiko?" He asked.
"Do we have any watermelon, from the North Pole?" she asked hopefully.
The cook held up a finger as if telling her to wait a moment, and smiled. Turning his attention to the many shelves and cupboards, he searched for the said fruit.
"Ah-ha!" he cried finding a square melon and pulling it out. When the water tribes shipped goods to other nations they grew them in boxes, so that they wouldn't take up as much room, making them square. "As a mater of fact we do!"
Seiko stood up heavily and licked her lips hungrily. The Cook took out a long knife and chopped the melon in half. He cut it in half again and handed a slice to Seiko.
"Actually," Seiko said, refusing the fruit. "Do you think you could fry it?"
The Cook looked at her as if she had gone mad. "You want me to fry it?"
"Yes please." Seiko asked kindly.
The Cook looked to the pregnant girl. Her eyes were shining with desire. The old man sighed. "It'll be ruined, you know that. The flavor will be completely lost. But for you my Lady, I'll do it."
Seiko smiled and put her arms around the man's large belly.
"Thank you! Oh, thank you!" she cried and ran out of the kitchen. The old Cook shook his head and began to prepare her meal. He was about to put the melon into a frying pan when Seiko's head popped out from around the corner.
"Do you think you could add a little Pepper as well?" she asked. "Just wondering."
The Cook choked on the small amount of vomit that made its way up his throat. "First you want me to fry it, now you want me to add pepper? What next, ice cream on top?"
Seiko's eyes widened. "Oooooohhhh…" she said. "That doesn't sound too bad."
The Cook slapped his forehead with the palm of his hand in frustration. 'I'm going to ask the Fire Lord for a vacation, a very long vacation.' Thought the Cook and started Seiko's meal.
