Author's Note
Another chapter this week, how about that, maybe I'll make a third (probably not).
Enjoy.
Normal POV
Hero woke up to the smell of food being made.
"Mmmmmm something smells good." Hero said.
"It's one of the new recipes I learned as an adept cook." Yuelia said.
"What's it called?"
"It's called southern stew."
"If that is its name, then it's got to be delicious."
"You forget Hero, the quality of the item depends on how I made it."
"Well then I got a great cook in the house." Hero said making Yuelia blush lightly.
"Thanks Hero."
After the food was done, Hero ate it and was in heaven by the flavor, along with Yuelia, who ate proudly by her food making skills.
"This is heavenly." Hero said in total bliss.
"Hero this is adept cooking, just wait till I'm expert."
"Ohhhh great Celestia (not mlp), I'm coming with you." Hero said enthusiastically.
"Wait, what?" Yuelia said confused.
"I'm coming with you."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm going to help you reach master chef." Hero said enthusiastically.
"How are you going to help me exactly?" Yuelia said questioningly.
"I will help you by fighting off monsters, buying ingredients, and help teach you how to get better quality food."
Before Yuelia could say anything else, Hero was already prepared to help his best friend out.
"So, what are you waiting for, let's go." Hero said hurryingly.
"Oooohhhhh, great Divinus."
They left home and treaded onward to Port Puerto.
"Can I ask why we are here? Yuelia asked.
"Well, if you're an adept cook, then Port Puerto is the best place to get all the best ingredients for the foods you're going to make." Hero said happily.
"Well, alright then." Yuelia said.
"What are the challenges do you have to complete?" Hero said.
"I have the list of challenges."
"Well show me."

(Yes, I got this from Wiki)
After going through the list a few times to memorize it, they talked again (I had nothing better to add to that).
"Well ok then, they shouldn't be too hard then, considering we can go every-where and get all this stuff." Hero said.
"Yeah, and maybe I could become master in less than one week." Yuelia said excitingly.
"Actually, it will take you two days to become a master."
"How can you guess?"
"Well, depending on the challenge and how long it will take to complete, then yeah, you can make it."
"Alright, thanks Hero." Yuelia thanked.
"No problem, you know I will always be there for you Yuelia." Hero said making Yuelia blush.
"Yes, I know, thanks Hero."
After their talk, Yuelia went into Cocina Rica to start cooking while Hero went to buy all the ingredients and make Yuelia a new Frying pan when her cooking skill increases.
After, a few days of cook, gather, make, and repeat, Yuelia finally became an expert cooker (I don't go into a lot of detail about this stuff because I'm trying to rush it a little).
"Congrats Yuelia, I never had a pupil who could become an expert in less than a week, you have no idea how impressed I Am." Said Master Alfredo impressed.
"Thank you master." Yuelia said.
"And Hero, it is such a selfless thing of you to do to help your girlfriend reach expert, when you are an adept yourself." Alfredo said happily.
They Yuelia blushes at the mention of this.
"Mr. Alfredo we are just friends, nothing more." Hero said coolly.
"Oh I was just teasing." Alfredo laughed.
"Well hope you two have a wonderful day now, good bye."
"Good bye Alfredo." Hero said and took Yuelia along with him.
Yuelia's POV
How could Hero say such a thing, I know I keep telling people that we are just friends, but that doesn't mean that I have feelings for him.
Normal POV
After they got home, they were eating dinner in silence.
"Hero?"
"Yes Yuelia."
"How come you told alfredo that we weren't a couple in the way you told him?"
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, the way you told him how we weren't a couple just sounded, like you didn't have any feelings for it."
"Well, we aren't, now are we?" Hero said rudely.
Now at this, Yuelia left.
"Yuelia, where are you going?"
"I'm going for a walk."
"Well, don't get lost again, alright." Hero laughed.
"Right." Yuelia said not laughing.
Yuelia went to Elderwood Forest and hid behind a tree, and then started crying. Danuta, appeared from the other side of the tree.
"Now-now child, what's wrong?"
"Danuta, how did you get her?" Yuelia asked surprised.
"Don't avoid the question, I asked first!" Danuta said.
"It's Hero, he said that we weren't a couple." Yuelia said angrily.
"Why would you get mad at that?"
"He said it with a straight face and showed no emotion."
"Ohhhhh, I see, young love is always the hardest to deal with." Danuta said with a yawn.
"I'm sorry Danuta, I didn't mean to disturb you." Yuelia said and was starting to leave.
"No child you weren't disturbing me at all, now tell me what you were just saying."
"Well, he-"
"With a calm voice child."
Yuelia took a deep breath and released.
"He looked at me and said that he and I, weren't a couple." Yuelia said more calmly.
"Well, isn't that true? You've been saying the same thing to, so I don't see what the problem is."
"He said it like he really had no feelings about the idea of us being a couple." Yuelia said getting mad again.
"Child, please calm down, you'll wake the children." Danuta said warningly.
"Sorry."
"It's alright, and I see what the problem is now, you have feelings for Hero and not the "where just friends" kind of feelings, I mean the "I love him kind of feelings." Danuta said.
"DANUTA." Yuelia yelled while blushing like it's no tomorrow.
"Child please." Danuta begged.
"Sorry, but Danuta, why do you think that?"
"I think it because it's true, isn't it, Noelia told me about how you saved Reveria, about your wish."
"Well yes, but I meant as friends, not something more." Yuelia said with her cheeks still burning.
"Well child, I think it's sweet how you have feelings for him." Danuta said motherly like.
"Do you really think so?"
"Yes child, I do."
Yuelia started crying and hugged Danuta's fur and Danuta did the same (only not crying).
After a few minutes of embracing, Yuelia let go.
"Thank you Danuta." Yuelia said wiping her tears away.
"Your welcome child, your mother would have wanted me to do it in her place."
"Well thank you."
"Your welcome, now it is getting late, I'll teleport you back home alright."
"No, I'll walk home, but thanks."
"Are you sure child?" Danuta said worried.
"Yes Danuta."
"Well, alright then, you be safe alright."
"Alright." Yuelia said and left.
Before Yuelia had gotten ten feet away, a bright white light absorbed her and she was at the front door of hers and Hero's home.
"Thank you Danuta, good night." Yuelia said went inside.
"Your back." Hero said relieved.
"Sorry I wasn't home sooner." Yuelia said apologetically.
"Don't worry, if you'd been gone any longer, then I would have to go find you myself." Hero said.
"Well I'm back."
"Good, now I can go to sleep without you being in any danger." Hero said and plopped in bed.
Yuelia was astonished by this, and quietly smiled to herself.
"Night Hero."
"Night Yuelia."
They both slept soundly through the rest of the night.
And that's that, I hope you all are enjoying this story so far.
Anyway, I'm thinking of doing Noelia's POV just to see how she's doing, coping with Robin and Aurora, and taking in Yuelia's idea that there is someone out there for her, I don't know, send me of what you'd guys like to see.
Also, sorry if I'm rushing the story, a little bit, I just want to finish it so that I may make another story after this. Or give me an idea of a story I should make (can't be lemon).
