Organization XIV
Sorry it took me so long to post this chapter. I've been doing lots of other stuff for school and my own time. I've been making plushies of Organization XIII members in my freetime because I want a collection of them. XD Well anyway, I've done Zexion and Marluxia and started Saix I pick them randomly by putting their names in a bucket... now other people have seen them and want me to make some for them...
Disclaimer: I don't own Sly. And I took the recipes from different cookbooks.
Chapter 5: Who's Doing Dinner?
Evening came to the Castle that Never Was and it was time to play the daily chef-for-dinner game. Everyone met up in the kitchen to play the game, even Mikoru who woke from her "coma" moments ago.
They all wrote their names on pieces of paper, and placed them in a small bag. Then Xemnas shook the bag, pulled out a piece, and read off the name. Everyone hated cooking so there was nothing but silence and high anxiety in the room.
"...Mikoru."
"You've got to be kidding me!!! I'm not eating her food!!!" Axel and Larxene yelled.
"Ha...this I gotta see," Saix said.
"Think I'll pass," Marluxia said.
"Me too," Vexen said.
"Hey. Give her some support," Xemnas replied.
"But look at that... that-thing!" Xigbar shouted and pointed to Mikoru who was poking around the kitchen the entire time playing with the knives.
"I don't think her temper could show its traits in her food. Besides, do you want me to have Vexen cook for us again?"
"AAAHHHH!!! HELL NO!!! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!" Everyone shouted.
"He practically experimented on the cutlets with those chemicals!" Axel yelled and attempted to run to a corner to hide.
"Xemnas, I honestly think you shouldn't let me cook. I don't want the same thing to happen like last time," Vexen suggested.
"Then Mikoru shall be our chef for tonight," Xemnas answered.
"Huh? I get to cook dinner? Cool!" Mikoru said happily.
"See! There she goes already!" Xigbar shouted.
"Enough! Mikoru. As fate has it, you were chosen to cook dinner tonight. You can make fish, salad, meat, chicken, seafood, anything you want and can find in the fridge. Have fun," Xemnas informed her.
"Thirteen people. I'll be here for hours...Or will I? Well, I know one thing...it's prank time..."
Everyone went over to the living room to hang out. Luxord, playing his card games with various members, Marluxia talking to the plants, Zexion reading his book, Demyx watching TV, Xaldin next to the fan enjoying the "wind", Vexen with his experiments, Saix leaning over the window to watch the moon, and Xigbar playing Sly on the Playstation enjoying the thief-stealth character. Everyone else has just hanging around.
Eventually, the fragrance of the many different meals being made filled the room. They were actually good too.
"Oh man. What is that?" Xigbar said putting the controller down and sticking his nose in the air.
"It's bruschetta sauce, shrimp sauté, hot wings, tiramisu, antipasto, creole chicken, steaks, veal fricassee, baby back ribs, roast pork, baked salmon, trout meunieré, fish au gratin, shrimp pasta, zucchini noodles, garden salad, fruit salad, mozzarella sticks, triple chocolate rolls, carrot cake, chocolate chip cheesecake, pecan pie, apple pie, chocolate mousse, and classic spaghetti with meatballs. Not to mention the beverages," Zexion said amazed at all the different things he smelled.
"Who knew that power of scent of yours can actually come in handy," Xigbar replied.
"Are you serious on the food, Zexion?" Lexaeus asked.
"Yeah, and it smells like more are on the way..." Zexion answered.
"I can't believe she could cook that stuff," Axel said amazed.
"I can't believe she even found that stuff in the fridge! Everytime I look in there I can only find water and bread!" Demyx yelled and pouted.
"That's because we hide the food from you during the day," Xaldin spilled.
"Xaldin!! That was supposed to be a friggin' secret! Why did you have to say it out loud! What's wrong with you?! Damn!" Xigbar scolded at Xaldin.
"Oops..."
Then a few moments later, Mikoru came in.
"Dinner's ready guys!"
"Alright! I'm starving!" Xigbar said getting up and being the first one at the table.
"Wow!" Everyone whispered lightly.
No one had ever seen so much food before. There were tons of dishes, drinks, desserts, and seasonings scattered across the table. From fancy Italian dishes to classic American styles. Everyone sat accordingly to their numbers, as planned...
"Okay, here we go."
"I hope this food is as good as it looks," Luxord said while taking his seat.
"Oh, it is..." Mikoru said mischievously.
"Very impressive, Mikoru. I think having you here will be a pleasure," Xemnas told her. He actually enjoyed her company in that he loved to see how she bugged the other members so far...
"So how did you really make all this stuff?" Vexen asked.
"I am very quick and multi-tasked," Mikoru told him.
"Wow. This spaghetti is really good. And so is this sauce...huh? AAAAAHHHH!!! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT!!!" Zexion yelled when ate a huge portion of the hot sauce that was plotted to be on his spaghetti dish.
"Here! Drink some water," Mikoru gave him the glass knowing that drinking all that water that fast would give up hiccups that can last for hours.
Zexion gulped it down within a blink of an eye.
"Thanks, I-HUP! Oh man!" Zexion yelled out loud.
There was a slight rise in laughter in the room.
"Hey, Mikoru. Can you pass the salt?" Demyx asked Mikoru.
"Sure Demyx! Here is the special salt said to add tons of flavor on your steak," Mikoru said giving Demyx her "decoy" saltshaker.
Demyx started putting tons of "salt" all over his steak not realizing he was falling victim to Mikoru's plan.
"Hmm, hmm, hmm. There we go!" Demyx cut a big piece of his meat and stuffed it in his mouth...
"...emm...What is this?" Demyx asked and stopped enjoying his food.
"White garlic powder," Mikoru answered.
"AAAAHHHH!!! I SAID SALT NOT GARLIC POWDER!!!" Demyx yelled as he tried to scrape the layers of the garlic powder off his tongue.
"Really? Hmm...I could have sworn you said 'pass me the white garlic powder'?" Mikoru naively said.
"This won't come out for weeks!!!" Demyx shouted as he though about his breath for the next few days...
Everyone glared at Mikoru suspecting things in their food that she planned but it was too good to resist. So everyone kept on.
Across the table, Xemnas took a sip of his soda and had a strange look on his face.
"Xemnas, what it is?" Saix wondered.
"...RESTROOM!!!"
"Yes! He got the laxative!" Mikoru whispered to herself but loud enough that everyone else heard.
"HaHaHA!!!...woah..." Suddenly Xigbar landed face flat in his spaghetti dish and was out cold. Xaldin poked him with his fork but he didn't move.
"Uh buddy? You okay?" Xaldin asked.
"Yes! And the crushed sleeping tablets!" Mikoru yet again whispered out loud and caught everyone's attention...
"That's it! I'm outta here!" Marluxia yelled out and left his chair.
"Yes, so I am!" Luxord said getting up.
"I'm not falling victim to any of her plans again!" Larxene hollered.
"I'm not going to even try," Vexen said.
"And it was such good food..." Demyx whined.
"What a waste," replied Xaldin.
"I'm not going to sit here and wait to be humiliated either," Axel said.
"You're telling me," Lexaeus answered.
"Waste of time as well..." Saix said.
"Hey wait! Where are you guys going?...Oh, man. I didn't get all of them... oh well! At least I have all this food to myself!" Mikoru happily said while eating everyone else's dishes. And of course, the pranks couldn't have effected the mastermind...
Coming in the Next Chapter: Mikoru checks out the Organization coats and mocks them of course. If you notice, each member's coat is slightly different... Many have-a-nice-trip-come-back-next-fall moments...
Hooray for chapter 5! Chapter 6 is better! And fun!
