  Quote of the day: No matter where you go, remember the road that will lead you home.

   
        Ashley turned on the soft bed sniffing as she did so. Something smelled refreshing in the air but she couldn't place a finger on it, she wanted to wake up and just pick whatever it is up but she felt too lazy.

   The bed dipped beside her, she scrunched her nose at the obvious distraction still not opening her pretty eyes, she was enjoying her beauty sleep way too much. She felt something drop on the bed beside her a little too gently.

   Ashley felt heat seeping from whatever just dropped on the bed, maybe it was one of Chloe's babies, we all know how hot they are.

      "Wake up sleepy head," she heard a sweet voice say beside her. The voice belonging to no one else but Chloe Anderson, she scrunched her nose harder definitely not wanting to wake up. "Wake up before I drench you in hot coffee."

   She shot her head up instantly, slowly opening her eyes, she saw a tray laying beside her, on it was a cup of coffee and some pancakes, since when did Chloe start making pancakes? 

    Ashley stared up to behold Chloe's gorgeous face. Chloe had a huge smile on her face, her grey eyes twinkling as she did.

  "Good morning," Chloe said.

     "Morning to you too," Ashley said picking up the coffee. She took a sip and gave Chloe her biggest smile. "Thanks my Chloe."

    "You're welcome," Chloe said with a wide grin. "I made the pancakes, what do you think?"

     Ashley picked up one of it and took a cautious bite. Don't blame her, she doesn't want to get food poisoned. Ashley must say that she was pleasantly surprised, it was actually good. It was a bit shocking because Chloe was as clueless as Greg when it came to anything that has to do with kitchen. "Wow, its nice." She picked up one more.

     "Really?" Chloe asked.

   "Yeah it is," she said between chewing. It wasn't until she finished the last on her plate before she looked up at Chloe with a cute pout. "Do I get more?"

       "Uhm about that...there are still more in the kitchen," Chloe said stuttering. Ashley got up instantly heading for the kitchen, on getting to the kitchen, what she saw horrified her so much.

       "Chloe what happened here?" Ashley asked when she heard Chloe's footsteps behind her. She turned back to look at Chloe who had a sheepish look on her face, not knowing what to say she turned back to face her disfigured kitchen.

    The countertop was littered with several bowls and pans, and there were burnt pancakes all over, the whole kitchen looked like it had a bath with flour. Ashley walked over to the counter and picked one of the burnt offering that Chloe prepared. Ashley was immensely shocked, she wondered how anyone would burn pancakes.

      "This was just a little hazard that happened while preparing the delicious pancakes you just ate," Chloe said nervously.

      "Okay let's forget that for a second, where are the remaining pancakes?" She asked, because she really wanted to have a taste of it again.

     "Actually, the ones I gave to you are the only ones that turned out well, the rest were part of the kitchen hazard."

    Ashley gave Chloe a bewildered look, now this was the reason why she never let's Chloe anywhere near her kitchen. "So you mean that you haven't eaten?"

    Chloe nodded her head in answer, Ashley felt her heart melt at her sweet friends gesture, so she had sacrificed the edible ones for her. "I wanted you to eat those, and moreover I don't want to get food poisoned."
