The teacher of home economics class is Mrs. Berlitz, who is Platinum and Dawn's mother. She clasped her hands together and announced, "Today we will be having a dessert making contest!" A few children groaned in the back round as Mrs. Berlitz continued, "So you will randomly be assigned a cooking partner by me and then you are to quickly plan and come up with a dessert idea and then proceed to create it! You will be graded on the taste and so on. I thought this would be so fun instead of what we usually do!" Mrs. Berlitz exclaimed who couldn't be happier, "So for the first pair will be Yellow … and Black."
"What a coincidence, Yellow!" Black grinned like a fool at Yellow as he spoke in a sing song manor, "Black and Yellow, Black and Yellow, Black and Yellow-!"
"Would you stop!" Green shouted at Black, "You're going to make Yellow cry!" Green looked Yellow who gave her a slightly irritated look.
Mrs. Berlitz cleared her throat, "Okay, how about Green and …" she looked around the room, "Blue."
Blue looked blank except for the fact that he muttered words that only Silver and Crystal could hear because they were sitting next to him, "Annoying girl."
Mrs. Berlitz then named off the other groups which are as followed; Sapphire and Silver, Diamond and Platinum, Ruby and Pearl, and finally White with Crystal.

Yellow and Black were pondering the idea for a while or so when Yellow shyly and reluctantly spoke up, "We could do some sort of pie if you want." she offered.
"All right," Black nodded and agreed, "Is there any type that you want to do?" he asked
Yellow thought for a moment, "Ummm ... how about pecha berry pie?"
"Sounds good," Black answered as he began to grab the ingredients for it when White walked up to him and Yellow.
White asked, "Do you have any more frosting because Crystal got excited and started pretty much inhaling it."
Yellow went back to cooking duties so Black answered, "Yeah, we are not going to use it, so here." He handed White the frosting tube as their hands briefly touched causing White to say thanks and scurry away quickly to where Crystal was.

Green glanced at Blue without him looking. Blue glanced at Green without her looking. How awkward could this get?
Blue coughed to get Green's attention, "So, what do you want to make?" he asks.
"How about something easy, like cupcakes." Green states with a bubbly giggle.
"Sure, why not." Blue answers and shrugs as if he is bored. Both Green and Blue both just seemed to be frozen and not moving as they looked at where the ingredients were located.
Suddenly a laugh causes them to both turn around at who made the sound. It was Crystal. She spoke, "The sexual tension between you two is hilarious," she then just smiles slightly.
"Shut up," Green says at her as if not amused and annoyed. Blue was just was simply looking in the opposite direction and having the I-have-a-really-painful-headache-right-now look.
Crystal face palmed, "Of course I am kidding," she smiled a ghost of a smile again, "Kind of."
"I will be back. Get cooking," Green said with a firm voice to Blue, her fists tightly clenched at her sides as she stormed off violently to Crystal. Crystal seemed to be cooking some sort of small yet fancy cake with White who was intensely mixing ingredients together in a bowl.
Green poked Crystal to get adverted attention, "What the heck?" yet her voice was a harsh whisper like tone, "Why did you say that for?"
Crystal shrugged, "Sometimes I am too serious and I thought I would lighten your awkward and boring mood with Blue. You are so dramatic sometimes, Green."
White, who was now standing next to Crystal, shrugged with a sympathetic look on her face, "Everything will sort out someday for you Green."
For some reason Green's face didn't believe White no matter how hopeful she was, "Yeah, I better get back to Bl- I mean cooking." she frantically stammered and shot off to Blue and their collaboration cupcakes.

"Leave it to Mrs. Berlitz to put the two people who have no idea on how to cook in the same group." Sapphire sighed.
"Yep," Silver said in a bland, monotone and no emotion voice. He could care less about any of this.
"Hey!" Sapphire snapped and so did her fiery temper, "Is that all you have to say!'Yep'? Not even a sarcastic, dry humored or cocky remark! Well do I have a newsflash for you, kid! We are going to make the best dessert ever and we are going to win this!" Sapphire's minor rant left her panting ever so lightly, "Let's make some cookies!" she shouted it as if a war cry and making Silver mentally scared.

Pearl laughed and then grinned, "For sure Ruby, I bet not even Diamond will see his defeat coming!"
Ruby, with his glasses on, smiled only slightly since he was busy finishing decorating a gorgeous Cheri berry pie. Ruby and Pearl both randomly looked up to see Diamond and Platinum. Diamond was directing Platinum's hand by holding it gently at the wrist as he was helping her rhythmically stir up ingredients for a pretty pink and white cake.
Pearl could barely restrain a laugh, "You can't keep your hands off of Platinum, and can you, Diamond?" Pearl asked with slight mock but he was just joking really.
Platinum was very intent on stirring so she wasn't paying attention to Pearl really; something Diamond found cute was her serious concentration. But Diamond couldn't help but blush and say back to Pearl, "You really should stop eating all of that candy. You are naturally hyper and energetic, you know."
Pearl just grinned knowingly.
Mrs. Berlitz clasped her hand together as she smiled, "So I see everyone is done with your desserts. First, let's have Sapphire and Silver show what they made."
Sapphire held up Silver and her dessert which looked like lumpy blobs of black crusty ... junk. "No offence, but what are those?" A very confused Ruby asked to the cooking-challenged duo.
"Your mom." Sapphire playfully snickered at her boyfriend, "Just kidding. They are cookies!" she said with glee.
Ruby didn't have problems smiling at Sapphire but the cookies ... that's another story, "They look ... intriguing." he managed to say.
"Since you are so eager about cooking, why don't you try Silver and Sapphire's cookies?" Mrs. Berlitz asked.
Ruby almost passed out when Mrs. Berlitz suggested this but ... "Sure, why not." Ruby kept his cool until he found out that the cookie was like steel on the outside and when he bit inside it was flowing with still warm, white and gooey batter.
Besides Silver and Sapphire's (imposter) cookies Black and Yellow made a Pecha berry pie. Crystal and White; an elegant blue and white cake. Platinum and Diamond; a dainty pink and pure white cake. Pearl and Ruby; a Cheri berry pie. Green and Blue; cyan frosted cupcakes with a gorgeous blue cake.
"So in third place is ..." Mrs. Berlitz who was announcing the winners was leaving the everyone in suspense. But Diamond was practically jumping out of his chair. Anyway, Mrs. Berlitz continued, "Blue and Green's cupcakes!"
Green smiled and gave her classic wink she always does whereas Blue just sits there and looks pleased.
"Next, second belongs to ... Crystal and White's cake!" Mrs. Berlitz announced.
Both of the girls smiled at each other and giggled.
"Finally ... first place is Platinum and Diamond's cake!" Mrs. Berlitz congratulated them.
Platinum let out a noise of delight and grabbed Diamond's arm with joy. Diamond felt proud with winning ... and his crush showing so much affection even though Platinum was fairly in the dark about Diamond's more-than-a-friend feelings.
Mrs. Berlitz then dismissed them, "Well, have a good day everyone and see you at the school festival in a few days!"
