[ Author's Note: The last prewritten chapter is now posted. I start band camp today, so I do not have time to write new chapters as quickly as I could edit these. I promise I will try to get at least one up a week if not more, but I won't have a new one posted everyday. ]
Daphne followed Scuba out of the restaurant with great effort to keep up with his strides. He was his usual comical self earlier, but now he seemed pissed at nothing. "Scuba! Wait up." she shouted which seemed to work. Daphne ran to catch up and was panting by the time she reached the boy's side. "I need to pick up a few things from my house before we go to your apartment. You can join me or go straight home." Daphne suggested. Scuba nodded and climbed in his car before turning back to Daphne. "I'll follow you." he said before motioning for her to get into her own car and lead the way.
Daphne climbed into her own automobile and took off towards the Kennish household. Every so often she would glance in her rear view mirror to make sure she had not lost Scuba. Once they pulled into the circular driveway, Daphne put her car in park and waited for Scuba to react. "Woah. You never mentioned you live in such a grand mansion." he commented as he observed the expansive property. "It was never brought up. My biological father is John Kennish, the baseball player. It was a big change from Riverside where I use to live." Daphne explained as she led him inside the main house. "Why would you have lived in Riverside with such a rich family?" Scuba inquired when they entered her house. "Well. The Kennish's are my biological family, but I was switched at birth and grew up a Vasquez until my 'sister' found out about the switch." Daphne told Scubas while gathering what they would need for the lesson. She had not really told anyone at her work about her personal life. Scuba nodded and took the box that he was handed. "We should get going. Our break is only so long/" Daphne noted before heading out the door and loading the baking equipment into her car.
Twenty minutes later, the duo was at Scuba's apartment with their aprons on. "I want you to make chocolate zucchini bread while I start prepping for today's recipes. I want to see if you have been practicing. I think we are going to try to make some cookies from scratch." Daphne ordered as she unloaded the boxes full of baking supplies. She was not one hundred percent sure if he had actually practice, but he was serious about learning he would have. Daphne sorted out ingredients while Scuba prepared the bread. His mind recalling each step as he mixed ingredients in a bowl. Daphne was finished getting ready and had made her way to Scuba's sofa. She settled herself in and peered over to where Scuba was stirring his batter. He seemed to be doing well on his own. Maybe he had practiced. If Scuba picked it as quickly as Daphne hoped than Chef Jeff would allow her to start doing pastries and desserts for Maize.
Scuba's attempt at chocolate zucchini bread was decent. He might have left it in the oven for too long, but otherwise he had mastered it pretty well. Daphne complimented him on the job well done before diving into the art of cookies. She had brought the supplies to make triple chocolate chip and snickerdoodles. Daphne had already measured out everything, so Scuba just had to follow her orders as she instructed how to mix the batter.
[ Author's Note:Short chapter, I know. It will get better. I promise. This is where the story is completely turning away from the show. I cannot really use anything from a majority of We are the Kraken of Our Own Sinking Ship because it all references to Scuba being fired. You will now see my own original work taking over from here on out Please leave reviews. ]
