The Cupcake Catastrophe

Intro: Natsu asks Lucy to let him help bake cupcakes for a party at the guild that is coming up. What is to come out of this baking day?

Lucy's POV:

I looked over at Natsu on the ground on his knees. "Please Luce! Please! I want to help." Natsu begged for the 20th time today. I was starting to get a headache, but I just continued to get the ingredients out as I moved around my kitchen. "No Natsu, I told you before. You don't know how to cook. The last time I left you to, you burned down my kitchen and almost my entire house!" I screeched at him. I know I may sound mean, but I really want a house to live in when I'm done making these cupcakes. Natsu once again spoke up. "I promise I won't do anything you don't tell me too! Please Luce, please!" I sighed loudly and finally spoke up. "Fine, but you have to follow my instructions!" I said irritatedly.

Natsu happily jumped up and came running towards me. As much as I tried to hide it, I couldn't help it and wound up giggling at the sight. "So, what's first Luce?" Natsu asked me as he stood in front of me ready to help. "Well, first we have to get the ingredients." I say as I start moving towards the fridge for the eggs. "Can I help?" Natsu asks. I nod and tell him where to get the rest of the ingredients at, while I get the mixing bowl, mixer, and cupcake pan out.

Me and Natsu happily chatted and joked around while we put the ingredients in and started mixing. Every now and then we would flip some of the mixture at each other. By the end of it, a fifth of the mixture was on us and the counter, but we just shrugged and put the rest of the mixture in the cupcake pan holes. "Alright, let's put it in the oven and set the time!" I say excitedly. Natsu grabs the pan and starts to walk towards the oven. I turn around to get the frosting ready when I hear a bang. I slowly turn back around and see the horror in front of me. Natsu, right beside the oven, dropped the pan. My floor and oven now covered in cupcake batter meant nothing as I stared up at him with anger in my eyes. Natsu looked back at me with wide eyes. "Luce..I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!" He exclaimed as I advanced on him and threw the closest thing to me. Which so happened to be the eggs. The box hit him and caused the eggs to crack. Some of the yolk got on him and some got on the floor. But I had no care at the moment.

Natsu looked at me surprisingly. "What was that for?!" he yelled angrily. "For ruining my cupcakes!" I yell as I grab the sugar and throw it at him. He dogged the sugar and ran to the counter beside me, and grabbed the sprinkles we were going to use on the frosting. "IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!" He yelled furiously as he opened the sprinkles and threw them at me. I glared at him harder as I grabbed the frosting can and took the lid off. "Well, maybe you should have paid closer ATTENTION." I yelled as I threw some frosting on him. Natsu smirked at me as he grabbed the 3 eggs that hadn't cracked and threw them at me. "Maybe you should have put the cupcakes in!" he yelled. By now I had forgotten the real reason we was doing this and we continued to throw ingredients at each other, forgetting all about the reason we was doing this.

By the time we realized, it was really late at night. We let out a laugh and I looked around my kitchen. It was destroyed, and our clothes and skin was covered in cupcake batter, frosting, sprinkles, and everything. "We can try again tomorrow. But don't drop them." I say as I walked out of the kitchen and towards my bathroom. "Uh, Lucy, don't we need to clean this up?" He asked. I look back at him and smirk, "What do you mean? You're the one who is standing there, thanks for offering Natsu!" His jaw drops in surprise and I walk into my bathroom laughing evilly.
