Don't Worry - KOTLC - One Shots!!

Toaster Troubles (Dexphie)

Okay, so I know how some of you are a little sceptical about the Sodex/Dexphie ship because technically they are cousins. THATS WHY, I wrote this without a label, so you can think of them as dating or not. It's completely up to you. Enjoy! 😅 

Requested By: @KotlcHPHamiltonLOV3R

Name: Sophie Foster 

Lover: Dex 😊

Background Info: 

Dex made the mistake of trusting Sophie to go warm up some food....

Sophie POV:

"IT'S ON FIRE!! QUICK!" 

Flames took over the kitchen of Havenfield. Smoke filled the air. And I'm pretty sure that I peed my pants...

"GET THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER, DEX!"

"FORGET THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER! WE. NEED. LINH!!!"

"WE CAN'T CALL LINH! SHE'LL NEVER MAKE IT IN TIME!!"

"WHAT DID YOU EVEN DO SOPHIE?!?" Dex screamed. "I THOUGHT YOU WENT TO GO WARM UP A SLICE OF PIZZA?"

He was right. I did go to warm up a slice of pizza. 

"I used the toaster!"

"THE TOASTER?"

More flames erupted. Half the kitchen was on fire.

"HANG ON!" Dex screamed, and I was soon left in the smoke filled kitchen...

As I was alone, I reflected on my day:

- Dex came over and we sat under Calla's Panakes tree

- He brought pizza, lemonade and English playing cards

- Suddenly, while we were in the middle of an intense game of Go Fish, I went to go take a bite of my pizza

- It was cold so I went to warm it up... 

I think you know what happens next. A few minutes went by since Dex left me in a hurry. I was starting to lose hope when he came running back into the fiery kitchen.

"I'VE GOT WATER!!!" He exclaimed.

Apparently, when Dex rushed outside to go get Linh, he saw a hose instead.

Good O'l Dex. Always calm and collective. I don't know how he does it sometimes. I guess that's one of the reasons why we first became such good friends. But, back to the story. 

The fire started off in the toaster, if you were wondering. A topping must have fallen off or something.

Or maybe I just have incredibly bad luck?

But either way, the toaster was on fire, the entire kitchen was soon gonna be on fire, and we had no way of stopping it...until Dex used the hose like a flame thrower, and extinguished everything. 

"Phhhhheeeewwwwwwww." I sighed, wiping the sweat off my forehead. 

Dex shook his head in disappointment, then smiled. "I don't know how you do it sometimes, Sophie."

"Do what?"

"THIS!" He pointed to what was left of the used-to-be gorgeous kitchen.

"I was just trying to warm up my pizza!"

"BUT IN A TOASTER?!"

"YES!!"

Dex walked closer to me. He raised his hand to wipe some ash off my face.

"Why not use the microwave?!"

"Because it always comes out mushy!"

Dex just stared at me. His face was a mix of confusion, amazement and a little bit of joy. When he didn't answer back I continued, "Why use the microwave when I can have my pizza be nice, steamy hot, and crispy all in two minutes?!"

He crossed his arms. "The oven works too you know."

"Yeah, but the oven takes forever."

He chuckled causing me to smile. "You never cease to amaze me, Sophie Foster."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"Not at all--but this is!" He gestured to the burnt kitchen. Honestly, it wasn't that bad. The area where the toaster was is now all black and the oven is kind of destroyed--but, it's still functional...maybe...

"Actually, Edaline was thinking of remodeling the kitchen." I told him.

"Really?"

"Yeah, at least now she has the perfect reason for it."

"Really!"

"No, who am I kidding! Edaline loved this kitchen like it was her own child!" I strode over to the couch--which by the way was not burnt---and sat down with my palms glued to my face.

"She's gonna kill me..."I barely whispered. Dex followed me to the couch and started rubbing my back to try to comfort me.

It was helping a little, but I still couldn't believe what happened. 

"There's no reason to worry, Sophie. I'm sure Edaline will understand." 

She might...or she could totally freak out and decide to kill me instead. "Wow, now you're starting to sound like Alden. It's kinda creepy, not gonna lie."

Dex frowned. "Maybe I'm spending too much time with the Vackers..."

I stared into space for a few more seconds trying to come up with a plan. I have gotten used to it when trying to fight off the Neverseen. "Welp, you're gonna have to see them again because we are going over there right now!"

"What, why?" Dex asked.

"Edaline is probably gonna be back soon, and I DO NOT want to be here when she arrives."

It was stupid, but I had to leave the 'crime scene' before Edaline shows up, and the Vacker household is basically my second home. 

"So you're running away from your problems." Dex narrowed his eyes at me.

"Yep, pretty much!" 

He smiled. There was a little bit of sympathy in it. "Fine." Knowing him so well, I knew there was more to his sentence.

"As long as we stop somewhere first." He added.

I raised one of my eyebrows--it was a trick Keefe taught me. 

"Can we please stop by McDonald's?"

I sighed. "Why? You want a Happy Meal?"

"How did you know!"

********Later at McDonald's**********

"Aww, man! They forgot the pickles again!" 🥒 🥒🥒

Avo-great day! 🥑
