====MCKENZIE====

Every once in a while, I catch Adrien looking at me. He has been doing it more as every day passes that I have been here. And I just love it here! No major worries, I'm constantly around the man I love, things are so fun, and there is so much more. It's just amazing! I feel like there is nothing in the world that could bring me down.

"Heeeeyyy, Adrieeeeen," I drawl out in a voice that is usually assumed to be a voice one uses when wanting something.

"Yeeeessss?" he replies back in the same tone, but more just mocking me. He closed his book and set it down to look at me. 

"Can you take me to the stooooore?" I ask, then give him a big smile.

"Yeeeeees, hehehe," he says and laughs.

"Yay! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I run out of the room and pull my boots on quickly, almost putting them on the wrong feet. When I leave my room, Adrien is heading out the back door and begins petting Claudia, his beloved horse. I haven't gotten very skilled with climbing up and down the wagon in the too-big robe yet, and I refuse to let Adrien buy any other clothes that would fit me. For one, he didn't need to be wasting money like that if these clothes work just fine. Second, I like these clothes. They smell like him and always make me feel as if he's wrapping me in a hug or something. It's just a nice feeling to be wearing them. Besides, he has more than enough robes and such. I'm sure he he has enough for every day for three yeards! I know he made them all and really doesn't mind me wearing them, so why change that now?

Adrien picks me up and puts me on the wagon seat up high and climbs up next to me, grabbing Claudia's reigns and we soon take off to the store. Thankfully, Adrien knows what I mean when I say 'store'. He knows I'm talking about the market shops and such around town.

Before long, we arrive at the place and Adrien hands me a sack of coins. "I'll be right back, I promise!" I say before running off, casting one glance backwards to see that Adrien was waiting patiently for me to return. 

I make my way around, soon finding a place selling things I need for baking. I grab flour, chocolate, strawberries, apples, cream filling, bread, sugar, and eggs. I grab a few more things and pay the shop owner the right amount of money, then I walk happily back to the wagon, where Adrien climbs off and helps me up. He climbs up next to me, and soon we are heading back to Adrien's parlor.

Once back, I go into the kitchen and set out all the things I bought at the store. After that, I get some bowls, cups, and spoons out of drawers and cupboards. I set them on the table next to the ingredients. I plan on making some tasty treats for Adrien to thank him for everything he's done. I then start to hum a tune, and suddenly start twirling around the kitchen, 'my' robe twirling with me as well as I stir together some sugar, eggs, water, and flour.

I'm so lost in my singing and spinning and 'dancing' that I forget about the oven because I need to put the batter in. I then chop up some chocolate into small chunks and stir them in with the batter before finally putting it in the oven.

====UNDERTAKER====

Once we get back to the parlor, Mikki darts through the back door and into the kitchen. I laugh and walk in, closing the door behind me. I walk into the reading room (or.. well, I suppose it could be called the library, though it's rather small), and pick up my book and start reading. I've really never been so hooked on a book before.

I just turned to chapter seven, when I hear some humming turn into singing. I mark the page I'm on, then stand up and quietly walk over to the curtain in the doorway to the kitchen. I pull it a little to the side and what I see causes me to smile. It wasn't a smile of finding something funny, though. In fact, it was one when finding something interesting and amusing in a good way. I couldn't look away. I just kept watching the twirling and singing woman in my kitchen. Mikki is stirring and adding things into a bowl and then soon puts it in a pan, then into the oven.

Once Mikki closes the oven, I walk fully into the kitchen and start clapping my hands slowly. Mikki turns around with a gasp and blushes so much I thought she would explode. She covers her face with her sleeve-covered hands, hiding her blushing face from me. I can't help but laugh. I walk over to her and wrap my arms around her. Her face is still covered, and I pull her hands away and kiss her nose. Her blue-brown eyes widen.

"Adrien?" Mikki says quietly after I quickly pull away. 

"Yes? Oh.. Well! Hey, would you look at the time?! Better go!" I fake a yawn. "Welp, I'm exhausted! Did you have a fun day today? I sure did! Maybe that's why I'm--" I fake another yawn "so tired! Wow, I'm so tired! Woo! Better go to bed! Goodnight, darling! I mean! Mikki! Yes! Goodnight!" Without even thinking about what I said, I run off to my room and close the door before jumping into my coffin and closing that as well.
