Melts in Your Mouth

Sweet Venom
Somewhere in the middle of a desert, a siren blared deep in an underground keep.
"Sir!" came the powerful voice of a military man.
"What is it, sergeant?" answered the man's superior.
"We have a problem!" the sergeant reported. "The radioactive containment tank has a leak."
"A leak!" The senior's face began to turn scarlet with rage.
"Yes, general!" The military man began to pant heavily. "It seems that the radiation has seeped through to a four-mile radius from our camp."
"But with the radiation reaching that far off," This time it was general's turn to gasp for air. "It must have been leaking for five days at least!"
"I'm afraid so, sir!" answered the weakening officer.
"How could you have let this happen?" the general roared. "We've got the best technology in the world, and we couldn't even detect a leak!" slamming his fist on his desk. He knew he had no time to ask for questions. He had to act to save as much people as possible.
The general huffed out a huge sigh, reaching the end of a difficult decision. "At least it won't cause more damage."
The sergeant had collapsed; but to himself, the general said, "We're in the middle of no where, no one else can get hurt." Grasping at his chest he reassured himself, "Five miles is all it can reach. No one else can get hurt."
And with that, he pushed a red button, which read, "Lockdown".
But just within the underground nuclear plant's five-mile radius…
"Okay! Take those boxes labeled to the United States!" commanded a stern lady, with her hands on her hips.
"Yes, ma'am!" responded a huge utility man, and carried the boxes into one of the many, lavish, top-of-the-line jets.
"Is everything ready?" She bellowed, while, beside her, a meek, younger-looking girl flinched.
"Yes ma'am. Everything is set." The young girl, probably in her twenties, answered. "All the jets are set to fly out to their destinations at your command."
"All right. Now—" The madam had raised her hand to give the signal, when
"Wait, ma'am!" interrupted a young man, probably as young as the woman's secretary, came rushing in.
"What is it?" The woman demanded.
"I'm sorry ma'am, but this is the special batch you had rushed." The man brandished a box in his hands.
"Ah, yes." The woman's voice softened. She took the box and carried it to its jet herself. "We wouldn't want to lose this batch."
The box was addressed "Alice Academy, Japan."
After the Alice Academy box was secured, the dozens of jet engines roared. The top of the hangar lifted, revealing the pale blue sky, and letting in the scorching heat of the desert sun. The jets began to take off, one by one, to their respected destinations.
The stern-looking lady let out a little chuckle as she popped a tiny candy-apple-green bead into her mouth.
"Well, I think we've finally done it." She said to the young employees behind her. "We've finally created the perfect formula that not even the desert heat can undo."
The two workers could only stare at her, if not for her genius, but for her insanity.
"It will forever only melt in your mouth, never in your hand."
Against the pale blue sky, the sun was shining brightly down on the Alice Academy. It was another beautiful day, for the teachers and students alike. The clouds where so white and puffy, the birds were singing…
'…and best of all the flowers are all in bloom!'
Mr. Narumi entered the faculty room that day in high spirits, if it was possible to be higher than normal. There he found a huge box in the middle of the room, which Mr. Jinno was staring at intently.
"Wow! What is that, Mr. Jinno?" Mr. Narumi asked, unusually interested about the contents.
"It's a box, Narumi," retorted the poker-faced teacher.
"Yes I know it's a box. What I want to know is what's inside it." The younger teacher was itching with curiosity at this point.
"Well," Mr. Jinno wanted to hold back. "I don't know."
"Let's open it and find out, shall we?" Mr. Narumi reached for the box, not being able to hold himself back.
"Wait! Don't, Narumi!" yelled the other teacher, a tone of alarm in his voice. "It could be a bomb!"
"Nonsense," was all Mr. Narumi said, and, in one fell swoop, ripped the top of the box off.
Author's Note:
Hey everyone! Another one of my fics dedicated to chocolate. Hmm, I wonder why? I guess it's the sugar. Haha, well, I thought I should try something light (and, dare I say, frothy?) for a while. After all, Gakuen Alice is one of those Anime that's so fun to watch. Hope you liked!
