Sugar and Pumpkin Spice

"Hehehehe," Schwoz laughed diabolically. Just then, Charlotte came strolling into the Man Cave.

"Schwoz? Are you wearing...oven mitts?" Charlotte asked, clearly petrified at the idea of Schwoz baking.

"Why, yes Charlotte. I am making some pumpkin spice chocolate-chip muffins in the spirit of Halloween." Schwoz grinned at her weirdly.

"Why are you smiling like that? And why are you talking so formally?" Charlotte looked at Schwoz oddly as he continued to smile.

"Oh nothing, I just...love muffins!" he exclaimed, slowly backing out of the room. "I need chocolate chips. Byeee!" He dashed out of the room.

"Wait, Schwoz! You can't put chocolate chips in a muffin after you've baked them!" She sighed and rolled her eyes. I do not get paid enough for this.

She looked at the muffins, and she would die before admitting this, but they looked delicious. They smelled delicious too. The scent of cinnamon and nutmeg wafted over to Charlotte. She couldn't resist it; she walked over to the tray of warm muffins. Her stomach growled and she couldn't help herself. She picked one up and took a bite out of it. Oh wowwwww. These are soooo good. Charlotte thought. Who'd have thought? Schwoz can actually bake.

As she was savoring her muffin, Schwoz walked back in holding a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips. He glanced at Charlotte and dropped the bag.

"Charlotte! What are you doing?! Put the muffin down!" he screamed, looking extremely panicked.

"Why? These are actually pretty good you know." She looked at the muffin and then Schwoz. "Hey, are you okay?" She added after looking at his concerned expression.

"Do you feel okay?" he asked her, waving his arms in front of his body cautiously.

"Schwoz," Charlotte said slowly and menacingly, "Is there something in this muffin?! Please tell me you didn't drug this muff-"

"Oh calm down Charlotte," Schwoz interrupted. I don't have to tell her it's a love muffin. It will ruin my revenge plan for Ray. Besides, she's not already in love with anyone, so it won't work. It only amplifies love by like 500 percent. "I just wanted to make sure that the muffin was not under-baked or something. You know you can get salmonella from raw eggs."

"Okayyy…" Charlotte said suspiciously. Nevertheless, she kept eating the muffin.

"Hey guys! What goes on?" Henry exclaimed, walking out of the elevator. He was closely followed by Jasper.

"Hey Char? Are you okay?" Henry looked at Charlotte with a concerned look on his face. Schwoz turned to her and saw that her eyes were glassy and that she was staring directly at Henry.

Oh no. Schwoz thought. All of the internal panic alarms in his brain went off. Glassy eyes. Schwoz took Charlotte's wrist. Pulse racing. He examined her breathing. Shortness of breath. Oh no. Oh no. All symptoms of the love muffin working. Wait, working? But- OH MY CYANOBACTERIUM, SHE'S IN LOVE WITH HENRY. I KNEW IT! HAHA! Okay, if the love muffin is working, she should pass out in about-

His thoughts were interrupted by Charlotte collapsing. Before she could hit the floor, Henry and Jasper grabbed her and supported her body with their arms. After setting her down on the couch, Henry turned to Schwoz.

"Schwoz, what the butt did you do?!"

Author's Note: Haha, this is getting good! I thought that I would have Charlotte eat the muffin instead of Henry because she's usually tougher and more guarded. It will be interesting to see a more vulnerable and love-sick version of Charlotte. As always, thanks for reading, and make sure to leave feedback if you have any! I'll be back with more soon! :)

Cheers,
