Chapter 2

You walked down the stairs to see a table lined up in the kitchen and the kitchen all clean and the bakery that was once full was now empty and the sign was flipped to the side that said 'closed' and hanji sat down as you walked to the station she told you you'd be working at.
"Jean, Sasha, Armin, and I will be your judges."
The three sat down in that order so that Jean was next to Hanji, then Sasha, then Armin on the end.
Jean winked at you when you looked at him, you rolled your eyes. Sasha, already drooling slightly, held two thumbs up in encouragement, and Armin smiled shyly.
"Alright [y/n] you know what to do. I want you to..."
Hanji paused for affect.
"make..."
She did it again and your new friends watched her wondering what she was gonna make you bake.
"Molten Lava Cakes! Ready, Set."
Hanji pulled out a pocket watch and pressed the button on top.
"BAKE!"

You rushed around the kitchen trying to fine the ingredients you needed, thinking of the recipe in your head 'of course it had to be Molten Chocolate Cakes...' you thought with a small groan. You had made it many times as a practice and your grandmother always corrected you when she tasted it. She said you didn't put your soul into it. You suddenly stopped, you took a breath and closed your eyes you felt the air rush into your body. That's what happened when you cooked you calm yourself figure out where everything is and then...

All the thoughts suddenly left your head aside from your recipe, and how to make the desired sweet and the soft tune in your head. if you had been paying attention to the others you would have noticed that they had noticed your frozen stance and the mumbles asking if you were too stressed and mumbling if you were going to forfeit. Suddenly your legs took over and you smiled confidently opening your eyes. You felt your Future friends watch you in awe all doubts dismissed to the back of their minds. You ignored it and forgot about them, you were free at the moment you were dancing around the kitchen gathering ingredients and setting them down you loved cooking, and cooking was your music to dance to when there was none.

You pulled out bittersweet chocolate, semisweet chocolate, butter, sugar, six large eggs, vanilla extract, and orange liqueur.
You worked on the recipe paying no attention to the awe stricken looks of your friends, soon you Melt the chocolates and butter in a double boiler. You add the flour and sugar to the chocolate mixture. You Stirred in the eggs and yolks until they were smooth. You also stirred in the vanilla and orange liqueur.

You divided the batter evenly among a couple of custard cups and placed them in the oven and bake for 14 minutes. You had two extra when they were done you tested the edges they were firm but as you cut into the center it was runny exactly how it should be. You tasted it. YES you did it! You were proud of yourself as you Ran a knife around the edges of the rest of the crusted cups to loosen the molten cakes and invert onto the dessert plates.

You sprinkled the tops with sugar and cleaned up your station then handed you creations to your judges and packed up your extra into a to go box for your grandmother and placed it under the heating lamp and sat back and watched your judges faces. First to take a bite was Sasha who took a bite and before you knew it it was gone. Then Jean took a bite his eyes widen and his fork almost slipped out of his hand before he started eating again.

Armin was next he picked up his fork and cut the pastry and put it to his lip and popped it in his mouth this was one of the funniest reactions you've seen from the shy boy he sat there frozen before making a small happy scream and melting into his chair. Then was Hanji who was surveying her's she picked up her fork and took a bite. Hanji made a whooping sound and screeched a bit before eating more and you watched them all eat theirs and Sasha stared at you pleadingly her eyes looking back and forth from you to the one you tested. You smiled and picked up the plate handing it to her, she ate it slower this time savoring it.
