Cookies
A married couple realized that they can't cook for the life of them. Something simple as baking cookies was a challenge enough for the bipolar elemental mages.
"Natsu, you burned the second batch!" The ice mage exclaimed in horror as he pointed to the charcoal–supposedly cookies.
The fire mage scoffed, "Not like you're any better. Look at yours," he accused, pointing the cookie shard-like icicles. "You can't even take a bite with breaking your teeth off."
They glared at each other, irritation rising towards themselves for they were incapable of cooking a perfect batch of cookies. The couple sighed in unison as they dropped the trivial staring challenge, and looked back at their failures.
"... We really suck." Natsu commented, and the latter couldn't agree more.
"... but at least we had some fun despite all that." Gray said, taking the mixer with left-over cookie dough in it.
"I guess," Natsu smiled as he fingered a bit of the dough and tasted the raw ingredient. "Wish we could see how idiotic we look when cooking."
The ice maker laughed, "Yeah, that'd be something," mixing the batter a bit more. "Wanna try again? And this time, we are so following the instructions exactly as they are written."
The dragon slayer chuckled, "Fine, fine, we'll try it the normal way."
"It was common sense to try that first you know," Gray sweat dropped at the latter's way of saying 'normal'.
"But there's no fun in that," Natsu whined, which made his wife sigh in defeat, mumbling an "Of course" in a sarcastic manner. And so, they tried baking a batch of cookies once more and hopefully, they won't burn their house down because of a cooking mishap.
Almost there, and then, I could finally comment/answer to a couple of reviews. I'm so giddy at the moment, but again, since I'm ill, I can't quite jump for joy... *Sigh* Sad.
