Chapter 16 Peppers
"Hey guys." "Hmm?" Hummed Ventus and Aqua. "You guys up for a challenge?" "Like what?" Aqua asked. "The hot pepper challenge." "What kind of peppers are we talking here?" "We will just work up the Scoville scale." "The what?" Ventus asked confused. "Are you guys in or not?" "Yeah, I guess so." They spoke together. "Let's get started." Terra opened the fridge and started taking out all kinds of different peppers. "Where did you get all of these?" Aqua put a hand on her hip. "The Moogles cut me a deal." "If I die its on you." "Fair is fair. Now, first the green pepper." "This isn't spicy at all!" Ventus cheered. "It gets better, the banana pepper." They each took a bite. "What's the matter Ven?" Getting too hot for Ya?" Terra teased. "N-nope, I'm ok." "Alrighty then, the jalapeño pepper." Ventus started to brake out in a sweat. "Wait for it..." Terra nudged Aqua. "Oh spicy mamas! That's hot!" Ventus ran to the fridge and searched for somthing to ease his pain. "Make it stop!" He pulled out a pitcher of orange juice and chugged it. "Ven, the acidity in the orange juice makes the pain worse. You need milk." "Milk!? But Noite drank it all! Ahhhh!" Aqua and Terra watched as Ventus ran down stairs outside and head first into the fountain. "Terra he's going to drown!" "He'll be fine." "Fine? That one practically killed him!" "Shall we continue?" "Ok, ok." "Next, the Serrano pepper." "Woo!" Aqua said. "Feeling the heat yet?" "A bit yeah..." "Let's try the Tabasco pepper." Terra and Aqua's eyes started to water. "Giving up yet?" Terra smirked. Sadly that was all she could take. "Yes! Ahhheee!" She ran to the sink and doused her aching mouth in water for a few minutes. "Ha-ha victory!" Terra cheered and tried the last pepper. "H-ha-hot", he tried eating a habanero but failed. "Ugh!" Terra joined her at the sink. They took turns rinsing their mouths, Ventus walked back into the kitchen soaked from the fountain. "N-never again! Let's stick t-to less spicy foods, ok?" "Agreed!" Terra and Aqua continued drenching their mouths.
