Brownies are good for the heart and soul....
Rated- PG-13Harem: Brownies! Brownies!!! We want our brownies!!
Small Taiki-like voice: And our tea!!
Harem: Yeah!! We want our tea too!!!
Chibi: Yeah, yeah!!! We're going as fast as we can here!!!
Makoto: Give us a break!! We're only two people ya know!!
Yaten: So? You're Sailor Jupiter! You sure as hell should be able to bake brownies and make tea for a hungry Harem if you can save the world.
Makoto: Listen you...*grabs Yaten by his shirt collar*
Chibi: *Seperates the two* That's enough. We have bigger things to worry about Mako! The Harem's getting restless, those *refers to Usa and Yohko on the over-sized cough, acting stoned and looking at the lava lamp* two aren't helping, and WHERE THE HELL did Xellos run off to with that bowel and spatula!? I tell him, he can lick the bowl, and he runs off with it somewhere. That commie bastard...
Makoto: Here, I think I can hold off the hungry adolescent males for a while. You go track down the bastard, and get back our equipment.
Chibi: Thanks. Usa! Yohko! Get your arses over here and make some tea!! If you don't, I shall be forced to expell you from the Harem Ownership!!!
That got their attention. At the fear of losing her bishounen, that she fought so hard to dominate, Yohko immediately busted out the kettle, and Usa, with just fear of Chibi, busted out the tea packages. Chibi, looked smug, and walked off towards the darker reaches of the Color Rooms.
Down the hall, all light became a rare thing, until Chibi could barely see, even with her glasses on. Suddenly, her ears picked up a faint sound, a twisted perverse laugh, and slopping sounds. As she drew closer, it really started to sound like Ataru Moroboshi having one of his perverse dreams (when is he ever not.) Finally, she found a small door, that was actually smaller than her, and that's hard to accomplish considering how short she actually is. She opened it partially to find Xellos, seated on a black bean bag chair. His face was covered with chocolate from the brownie mix, and he was acting like a child (No, more than usual), whose Mum just made cake. Oh, the humanity.
Chibi: Xellos! I told you not to run off with that bowl and spatula! We're seriously under staffed and need all the equipment we can get! And then you bloody run off with one of the only bowls we have around here big enough to bake crap in!! That's it! You don't get to lick the bowl anymore. *She said grabbing onto the bowl, to which Xellos held fiercely.*
Xellos: No!!! I don't wanna!!
Chibi: You had your chance Fruiti-Boy!!!
Xellos: Meanie!! *And he promptly, began crying and throwing a huge tantrum, Chibi hadn't seen the likes of since she had been the one throwing them.*
Chibi: Sigh...Okay, okay Xellos, just calm down. Here, I need the bowl and spatula, but once I'm done with them, I'll let you lick the bowl again if you promise to stay in the kitchen. Okay?
Xellos: Sniff...Okay.
Chibi: ^_^ Good. C'mon now. *She took the bowl, patted his head, and held him by the hand as she led him into the kitchen. All the while, Xellos continued acting like a little boy (No, more than usual), and was sucking his thumb.*
When they returned to the kitchen, the Harem Boys were seriously about ready to kill something. Testosterone was flying, and they were a bit perturbed about no brownies to feed their adolescent, male metabolisms. Oh, the horror, the horror.
Makoto: Chibi! Thank Kami-sama!...What's with him? *She motioned to Xellos.*
Chibi: Uh, I think he's regressing to childhood with the familiar memory of baking brownies.
A few eyebrows raised.
Chibi: I was meant to be a shrink okay? Not that that will actually happen. Now, let's start baking, they're about ready to burn down the house.
Usa: Which is most likely to happen if Tasuki doesn't get some food soon.
Chibi: Okay!! Yohko, Usa, step on the tea making!! As soon as one batch is done, serve it out; first to the bish that look dangerous and ready to kill something, and then to the less needy. Mako, how's those brownies coming?
Makoto: *In bad Scottish accent* I'm sorry Chibi, but I just don't have the power!!!
Chibi: *grabs Makoto by the shoulders, and shakes her* Never give up! You'll lose with that attitude. C'mon, we've got a life or death by bish situation here! Let's get making those brownies! Seiya, Yaten, Taiki!!! Do some entertainment, or you're gonna be bunking with Xellos, and Akio for the next few weeks!
They went pale at the thought, and got to singing, which distracted the easily absent- minded (i.e. all of Usa and Yohko's guys.) And in a few minutes, the most easily aggitated and homocidial (i.e. all of Chibi's guys) were fed and the less needy were served after that. And true to her word, Chibi let Xellos lick the bowl. Soon, the crisis was averted, and life could go back to normal in the Harem House, well, what could be considered normal for the place. Usa and Yohko went back to the Lava lamp, Chibi went back to sleep/reading/on the internet/bothering the bish. Makoto went back to Tokyo to be her regular self after the work day for her was done.
And of course, they all had their brownies.
