Chapter 8 :Chocolate Macaroons
"You have an absolute sense of taste" Bubbles and Boomer looked at him in confusion. After finally regaining his train of thought, boomer asked "What the hell is that? I've never heard of it..." Bubbles nodded her head in agreement. Blaze Chuckled and shook his head " You'll see soon enough, anyways. Its getting rather cold. How about you come to my place Bubbles?" Bubbles shook her head. "I c-couldn't possibly intrude!?" Blaze chuckled once again "But even if you do go to the airport, there'll be no flights tonight " He smiled as Bubbles blushed and looked down in shame. Blaze smiled and lifted her chin so he could look at her "Just think about it, for tonight alright?" Bubbles nodded her head as Blaze grinned then looked over at Boomer. "Boom-"
"I'm not going home!" He cut before Blaze could finish, Blaze smirked then pulled Bubbles close to him as Bubbles blushed bright scarlet "Then Bubbles and I will go home~ Alone~" and that was all it took for Boomer to follow after the two. They walked in silence as the three walked to the house. Once they went in Bubbles looked around in wonder "Wow!" She exclaimed "What a gorgeous house!" She smiled then blushed and looked around for their parents. Blaze chuckled and said "Our parent's aren't home, so you can relax" Bubbles sighed as she heard that then sat on the couch beside Boomer "So you're both from a good family Bo-boomer" Boomer looked at her with a tired stare "Don't say my name like that" He said simply as Blaze walked in with a small tray of tea cups filled with tea. "Here you go" He said as he set it down. Bubbles grinned then smiled up at him " Thank you~!" She said as she looked at the three tea cups
"Take your pick" said Blaze as Bubbles looked at each cup "These are... different kinds?" She picked one up while looking at the others "Can you tell which is which?" He asked. Bubbles looked at each cup then look a small wif at each "I smell citrus, This one is Darjeeling, ...a sweet smell, Assam,... this one smells refreshing... this is Nilgiri tea?" Blaze Smiles and Nods his head "Yes, I'm sure you can see your gift now?" Boomer looked at her in awe "How you tell 'em apart?!" He took a whiff at his cup seeing nothing different, and scrunching his nose. "They all seem the same to me" He muttered. Bubbles giggled then looks at the three cups, thinking to herself. "So basically her ability is...?" Boomer stopped mid sentence looking at the two. Blaze nodded his head "An Absolute sense of taste, Basically, she can judge a taste without comparing it, and once she tastes something, she can't forget it. She can also tell what's in it and how it was made." Bubbles looked at Blaze then looked down at her cup. "To think this idiot has that ability..." Muttered Boomer.
Blaze gave him a firm whack, before smiling at Bubbles "If you're who I think you are,... then you can fulfill your parents dream,... and become the worlds best pastry chef." Bubbles looked up from her tea and frowned, she then shook her head "How do you know about my parents?" She asked, almost in a whisper. Blaze walked to a small cabinet and took one of the frames on there, then walked back to Bubbles and handed her the Frame. "Our father was really fond of your parents work, When He found out they had passed in an Accident, he was shocked." Bubbles stared at Boomer for a good while then glanced down at the fram. It was both her mother and father, standing beside a man. They were all smiling at the camera while holding a pose of shaking hands. Bubbles smiled as tears dropped from her cheeks and down to the frame.
"My father used to tell me they had a daughter,... He said she probably had the same ability they did" He looked at her with a smile and continued " I always wondered who you were, what kind of girl you were like.." He stared at her a good while before finishing "I've been looking for you my whole life" Bubbles' head snapped over, her cheeks red, partially from crying and the other from embarrassment. Silence took over and the three took their tea then headed to bed once they had finished . Boomer took his old bedroom while Bubbles was shown to one of the guest rooms.
The next day Bubbles woke up and trotted down the stairs, she peeked into the kitchen while mutter 'sleepy' the whole time. When she finally opened her eyes completely, she was greeted by a cloud of black smoke and started coughing. She looked around in alarm and yelled "FIRE!" Then ran the rest of the way into the kitchen. Which alerted Blaze and Boomer that someone else had entered the kitchen.
"Ah, Hello Bubbles!" Grated Blaze. Bubbles managed a small smile then continued coughing while muttering a small 'good morning'. She looked at the two, Boomer was on his knees, trying to clean something off the floor, while Blaze was cooking something in a frying pan. Boomer blushed then stood up as quickly as he finished. "m-morning' He muttered. The two then told Bubbles to sit down as they finished up and she did. When they were done, she was presented with a burnt-bunned sandwich. She looked at the food then glanced up the boys "For me?" she said shyly. Blaze nodded his head while Boomer muttered "You don't have to eat it if you don't want to"
The two sat down across from her with similar plates then picked up their sandwiches. "I'm sure they don't taste as bad as they look " Said Blaze as the boys took a bite the quickly looked away from Bubbles who was watching then curiously. The boys swallowed the food with a look of disgust then turned back to Bubbles slowly. "And the credit should go to my adorable little brother for working so hard-!"
"Don't even try to pretty boy your way our of this Blaze!" Yelled Boomer as Blaze pouted, annoyed with being cut off. Boomer continued "Its your fauly for mixing the salt and sugar!"
"Hey! I'm not the one who put mustard instead of mayonnaise!"
Bubbles watched the two bicker back fourth then let out a giggle. The two sopped and watched the small blonde as she picked up her sandwich. " Its been a while since someone cooked for me" She took a bite and happily ate it while the boys looked at her in shock. "Its good! really!" She smiled as the boys smiled back. When she finished her sandwich, she stood up while pulling up her long sleeves. "To take you I'm going to make a snack my father used to make for tea! just wait a bit kay?"
The two waited for a short while while Bubbles working in the kitchen. She came out a bit after while a plate of round cookie-looking things. "These are chocolate Macaroons! " She said while setting the plate down. The boys each took one and ate them along with their tea. The boys then joked around a bit making Bubbles blush. That night, Bubbles called Ms Lulu. "Yeah, I'm sorry" She said into the receiver. "The director arranged so I could stay in the dorm though, so I'll be alright." She stayed silent a bit, listening to her reply. "Yes,.. I'm having fun" She replied while looking down at the small spoon. The two kept chatting for a while then they talked with some of the kids at the orphanage, all were happy to talk with Bubbles.
The Holiday passed and soon the teens were back in school. Bubbles was yelling at the top of her lungs at Boomer, who was resting on the roof of a short building. "Boomer! hurry up or you'll miss the opening ceremony!" Boomer pouted and turned away from Bubbles who only pouted in response. "I'm not going, I'm ditching, plus brother'll give a speech and I don't feel like listening' " As Bubbles an Boomer bickered, A girl was looking at them through the window. Mandy looked away from the window and to Blossom, who was reading a book. "Blossom, look" She said. The girl looked up from her book and walked over as soon as she saw the sight, she glared. "That girl, she's still here?" Blossom stomped away from the window as the bell for the opening ceremony rang.
After the opening ceremony Bubbles made her way to her class. The halls were empty, which Bubbles found odd. She stood in front of the big wooden doors and took a deep breath "here I go.." she muttered then she walked forward while opening the doors. She stooped in her tracks when she noticed everyone looking at her, all with envious and death glares. Bubbles walked to her Desk while looking down. 'they're still...' she only walked past a few desks when she suddenly tripped over something and landed head first towards the solid white floors. When looked up the three girls where looking down at her. "Thats what you get for coming back theif" Said Mandy as she smirked down at her. Ruby looked down at her in disgust as she said "I can't believe it" Blossom then walked forward, while glaring at Bubbles she then leaned down so their faces were inches apart. Bubbles 'eeped while muttering 'blossom' under her breath
"Why didn't you go back to Viotown? You lied" Blossom said, her voice losing all kindness. She looked over a Bubbles backpack, seeing the small spoon tied to a baby blue ribbon, hanging from one of the zippers. "And you still have this?" She said as she reached over to grab the spoon. Bubbles beat her to it and snatched it away before glaring up at Blossom with tears in her eyes.
"You were the one pretending to be my friend" Blossoms glared hardened, she took a step back and raised her hand while saying "Your calling me a liar!?" and just as she was about to bring it down, a hand caught her mid way. She turned around, glaring at the person then stood shocked as she noticed who it was. "B-boomer, b-blaze" She stuttered out. Bubbles looked up at them as Blaze helped her up.
"So you're the reason she wanted to go back home" stated Blaze, Boomer half glared at Blossom "Stop doing stupid things Blossom" he said. Blossom looked over at them at the brink of tears as she 'tried' to explain. " You two just don't under... understand how we feel.." She started, letting tears roll down her cheeks. "How a g-girl like her..." She stopped midway, and broke into a fit of sobs. Mandy continued after her while Ruby held onto Blossom .
" We just don't understand how a girl like her can be in our class! only cuz she can cook good!" Ruby looked over while nodding " She doesn't belong here!"
Blossom stopped her fit and looked up at Blaze "Now, i-if a p-professional Chef were to acknowledge her skills... th-then.." She stopped, letting a small smirk cross her cheeks as Blaze was lost in thought, though it quickly disappeared. Blaze looked up then smiled.
"Alright, We'll have a cooking contest, You can bring a judge from Cantina or wherever " Bubbles looked at him in Shock as she walked over "p-president?" she muttered, Blaze turned around and smiled down at her "I know you can do it, I trust you Bubbles" As this was happening, behind them Blossom was smirking. "Fine" she said, snapping the two out of their chat " But if Bubbles Looses then she has to leave this school, Permanently" He smirk grew wider as she saw Bubbles scared face.
