So without further ado, I present the fourth chapter of 'Rebellious' enjoy!
Disclaimer: sadly, I do not own Escaflowne, nor its characters. I wish I did. That way I'd be a multi billionaire and have people worship the ground I walk upon. But alas, I do not. Hence, people do not kiss my feet. sigh guess I have to resolve to taking over the world…mumbles what a pain…so yeah…no suing me…I'm broke.
Chap4-Dinner+Dessertmayhem!!
"Hey van, what took you so long? And why is your face all red? You look like you just ran a marathon." Hitomi said looking at Van's still red face.
"Umm I uh, never mind- say what are you making?" Van asked trying to cool his face and change the subject.
'Hmmm….something really embarrassing must have happened. Oh well' hitomi brushed the thought aside. "I'm makin' a roast chicken, mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn, garlic bread and of course, gravy!" Hitomi said with a huge grin on her face.
"Hitomi, dear don't worry about the dinner, you and van go ahead and make the desert. You said it was your specialty." Varie said a she entered the room.
"Are you sure? Cuz I can-
"Not to worry dear, go now, and run along. The ingredients for whatever it is you are going to make, are in that room over there." Varie said as she pointed to a room that was connected to the kitchen.
"O-okay, c'mon Van!" Hitomi said as she grabbed his arm and lead him to the second room.
'He even allows her to hold on to him, she may be the one to break him out of his cold side...' Varie thought as she watched the two disappear to the other room. "Well, now on to that chicken" Varie said aloud as she marinated the chicken.
"Well, what are we gonna make, 'tomi?" Van asked as Hitomi grabbed some random ingredients.
"I have no idea…." Hitomi answered.
"Well, then how do you know what ingredients you'll need?" Van asked, intrigued by her methods.
"Well, this is how I bake. I grab random ingredients, and mix 'em together and volia! I come up with the dessert. Hehe……, well, I guess we should start, huh?" Hitomi said trying to avoid Van's deep, mahogany, piercing eyes.
"Ok..." van replied, never leaving hitomi's gaze.
"Well, first I need ya to pass me a couple dozen eggs, not sure how much we will be needin', two bags of flour, sugar, cinnamon, chocolate frosting, cookie cutters, and that's about it." Hitomi said. "You need all that stuff!?!?!? What on Gaea was the stuff you grabbed from the cupboards?" Van asked.
"The other stuff. Like the butter, vanilla syrup, cupcake holders, cookie trays, muffin trays, aprons, timer, marshmallows, sprinkles, chocolate chips and chocolate!! Now go get me the stuff!!" Hitomi ordered.
"Hai Hitler" Van grumbled as he headed to fulfill his task.
Van came back with all the stuff Hitomi asked him to get.
"Thank you. Now, I need you to pass me that giant bowl." Hitomi said. Van did.
"Now the eggs and flour." But when Van handed her the bag of flour, Hitomi sneezed, and she ended up throwing the entire bag of flour on poor van.
"Oops….hehe…umm…I'm sorry?" Hitomi said trying her hardest not to laugh at the site in front of her. Van covered from head to toe in white flour. It didn't work. She burst out laughing slapping her hand over her mouth to muffle the snickers. That didn't work.
"I-I'm s-so s-sorry, haha, I didn't mean it Bwahaha…oops, um…forgive hehe me snort." Hitomi said between laughs.
"You think this is just hilarious don't you?" Van growled, glaring at her. "Look, I said I was sorry and – HEY!!!! WHAT THE HECK!!!WHYDID YOU THAT FOR???!!!!!!?!?!?!" hitomi screamed. Van had dumped her with the second bag of flour, so now both of them were covered in the white powder.
"There, now we're hahah, even, muahah, hahahheheheh..." Van started laughing hysterically.
"You're so gonna pay for that Fanel…. Grrarr!" "
Wha- Van was suddenly tackled to the ground by hitomi.
"Oof! Hey, get off me!!" Van complained.
"Not yet. I'm gonna see to it that you pay for what you did. Take this!" Hitomi grabbed a bag of sugar a dunked it all over Van.
"Hey!! That does it!" Suddenly Van flipped hitomi over, so he now had her pinned down. "You think that was clever?" Van asked in a husky voice. "Umm… yeah…." Hitomi said nervously becoming lost in his red eyes. "Well, think again-"suddenly, Van jumped off hitomi. Just in time too, for the door opened and Varie came out smiling.
"Well, I just put the chicken in the- "She stopped mid-sentence to see Van and Hitomi covered with flour. " What happened?" Varie asked. "Ummm, well I accidentally dropped a bag of flour and van got angry and dumped a bag on me and well, there you have it. Two flour-covered teens." Hitomi chuckled nervously.
"Van, you should have known better, I'm very disappointed in you, Van Salezar de Fanel!!" Varie scolded sternly.
"Umm… you shouldn't blame him, I mean it was my fault too, ya know…" Hitomi cut in trying to ease the tension.
"Oh don't worry dear, I'm not mad…. Well, dinner will be ready in about two hours." Varie said reassuringly.
'That's weird… mom usually would have a hernia…..something's not right….'van thought. With that, Varie left the two to clean up and make the dessert.
"Okay van! Let's get started on that puddin'!" Hitomi said.
"Ummm… okay?" van replied.
"Now. We need vanilla sauce, sugar, flour, icing, fudge, and course…. Chocolate!!!!"
"We're gonna need all that to make pudding'?" Van asked.
"Of course not silly!!!!! We'll need at that stuff inorder to make: brownies, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate dipped marshmallows, regular cookies, gingerbread men, vanilla and chocolate sundaes and of course... A REALLY BIG CAKE!!!" Hitomi squealed with delight.
"Uh… we're gonna make ALL that by 6:00pm?" Van asked, looking at the clock. It was already 4:30 pm.
"You're with me, and when you're with me, buddy, you can make an entire pastry shop in 2 hrs." Hitomi said grinning.
"Okay, let's get started then." Van said. So the two began to bake.
"That was a delicious meal, Varie. " Hitomi complemented as she helped to clear off the table.
"Of course it was delicious, hitomi… my mother made it!!!" a pink haired girl said.
"Now merle, be nice hitomi's a guest and you must treat her with respect." Varie scolded.
"Yeah, yeah, whateva…" Merle said rolling her blue eyes. "MERLE!!!" Van's booming voiced came in. "WHAT DID MOTHER JUST SAY?!?!? YOU'LL TREAT HITOMI WITH RESPECT!!!! AND HOW DARE YOU THINK YOU CAN SPEAK TO MOTHER THAT WAY?!?!? HUH? WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE??!!!?!?" van screamed. Meanwhile Hitomi watched the whole thing with wide eyes.
'How can van be so gentle one minute, and then so, so…. Mean?' hitomi thought.
'It's because of his past, hitomi…' Varie's voice sounded in hitomi's head. Hitomi spun her head around to see Varie calmly washing the dishes. "Van, calm down….." Varie said.
"But- yes mother…." Van murmured giving hitomi an 'I'm sorry you had to see that' look.
"Well, I'm dying to know what Van and hitomi have made..." merle purred, obviously not affected by her bro's outburst. With that the four headed to the second dining room.
"Oh. My. GOD!!!!!" merle screamed when she saw all the dessert Van and hitomi made.
"Wow…" was all Varie could say. Van and Hitomi just grinned.
"I take it you guys like it?" Hitom'i asked.
"YOU BET!!! OH MY GOD HITOMI, I LOVE YA!!! I WANT YOU TO COME OVER EVERY DAY AND-"
"That's enough merle…" van said calmly.
"Well, dig in!" Hitomi said cheerfully.
"Okay!" with that, the group filled their stomachs with the sweet goodies made by Van and Hitomi.
