Me: So. Here we are again. It's barely been a week and I suddenly feel the need to update!

Kekei: You got bored and wanted to avoid doing that one overdue assignment didn't you?

Me: Eheheheeh ^/^

Kekei: Well let's get on with this then. Ksadran doesn't own Yumerio Patisserie

I had almost stuck my head down and my bum up by the time I started on the cake. A mudcake was... harder to make than I expected. I had been hoping that it was easy. Simple even! But no. I wasn't the greatest at chocolate - or anything really. I guess I had humiliated my namesake. Yarg. My life couldn't get any worse.

Taking a break, I stared at my completed sweet treat. It... looked nice enough. Decent. Even up to standard at this crazy Japanese cooking school. I took a deep breath and cut a piece off to stick in my mouth. When I did, my mouth scrunched up and I spat out the contents.

"SALT?! AGAIN?! SERIOUSLY?!"

Defeated, I sighed and collapsed on the bench. This cooking thing was way too hard and I had only attended this school because of a... well it wasn't a friend but someone I knew. She had recommended that I apply for St. Marie. Apparently I had a talent of some kind... well I ain't seeing it.

Then something fluttered in front of my face and... ATE MY CAKE?! The thing had the same reaction I did but stuck out her tongue instead of spitting out the cake.

"You really should be careful. I know that it's easy to get the salt and sugar mixed up, but this much salt could be detrimental to your health!"

Looking up, I saw a tiny person. With wings. And a Spoon. And... IT WAS A FAIRY! A fairy godmother maybe? God I hoped it wasn't one like Cosmo from Fairly Odd Parents. I seriously wouldn't be able to handle that.

"Y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-"

"I-I-I-I-I-I- What Keiki?"

"Uh. You're...tiny. A...fairy?"

She giggled and ran her hand through her candy-pink hair. "No silly. I'm a sweet spirit. My name's Lollie and I specialize in all kinds of boiled lollies and candies!"

"So... you're a cooking fairy."

"Pretty much." she said, dropping her 'sweet' act for a microsecond. "Anyway. You caught my eye as soon as you entered St. Marie! You have talent but don't use it. Or at least you don't have a reason to."

"Me talent? Unlikely. Just take a look at my 'cake'" I said, gesturing to my once again salty cake.

"EXACTLY!" the 'Sweet Spirit' who had introduced herself as Lollie said as she spread her arms out wide. "It looks amazing! You have the texture just right and just the right amount of icing! If you had added the sugar as you were supposed to, this would be the best mudcake ever!"

"You're just saying that to make me feel better aren't you?"

"Yeah pretty much."

Welp. That sure hit home.

"Ouch."

"Hehe. You asked."

Sighing, I pulled myself off the bench and picked up Lollie in my hands.

"Well, you probably know this already, but my name's Keiki."

"I know. But it's nice to finally meet you officially!"

I smiled softly and nodded. Maybe this would be mu lucky break. I mean I finally have someone who may have been considered as my friend. Someone I might be able to rely on. Hopefully, she could help me with my 'problem'.

"Now!" she said as she clapped her small hands together and waved her spoon which sent my salty mudcake away. "Let's try that again shall we!"

"But I spent all night..."

"Just trust me!"

The two of us spent hours trying to make the cake. I knew what I had to do and Lollie basically helped me along when I was going to add sugar instead of salt. I would never, EVER say this to her face but I was grateful for her assistance. It gave me a bit of extra confidence. By the time it was almost done, she waved her spoon again and two different round candies appeared on top. One bright orange with what appeared to be a pink center and the other was candy-floss pink with an orange center. I looked at Lollie and she smiled.

"It represents us! I feel like we're going to be good friends Kekei Gale!"

I grinned - which was an unusual thing for me to do.

"Yeah. I think we will!"

Little was I to know, there was another person hanging outside the door. In fact, he'd never left.

"What do you think Mikan?"

"It's certainly Lady Lollie!"

"Lady?"

"Nothing~"

"So. Gale has a Sweet Spirit..."

"I told you she had talent didn't I!"

Me: And there we have it! The introduction of two cute little spirits!

Kekei: So wait. Is Lollie really a jerk too?!

Me: *calls hush* Spoilers.

Makkai: What am I?! A STALKER?!

Me: *repeats* Spoilers.

Lollie: WHO ARE YOU?! RIVER SONG?!

Me: Hehe. We'll see... anyway! Please review! I'd love some feedback on how I'm coming along! See you again next chapter!
