"So, what did you and Felicity need help with?" Athena asked as she, Miguel and Yana entered Felicity's house.

"From what she told me, she said that she was going to-"

Miguel was cut off when they gasped as they walked into the kitchen and, with wide eyes, saw something shocking: Felicity laid on the floor, sprawled out and unconscious. Without a second thought, Miguel frantically dashed for Felicity, cradling her in his arms.

"Felicity! Are you OK?! Speak to me!" He cried.

Her eyes weakly fluttered open before they landed on the blue chihuahua. The cat's paw touched his face.

"Miguel?" She whimpered.

"Felicity, what happened?" Miguel asked.

"Yeah, you can tell us." Yana chimed in.

"There's... something I... have to tell you." He choked out.

"What?"

At this point, they were all close to tears. Felicity coughed and took a deep breath before wheezing out.

"We're out of peanut butter."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Miguel howled in despair.

Then, his distraught wails devolved into uncontrollable laughter. Felicity then quickly perked up and started laughing her head off as well. The owl and the yeti just looked on in utter confusion as their friends' laughter left them wheezing and sounding like braying donkeys. After a full minute of laughter, it finally started to die down as they wiped the tears from their eyes.

"My stomach hurts to bad!" Felicity guffawed.

"I can't breathe!" Miguel wheezed.

Another several seconds later, they finally stopped laughing completely and were able to pull themselves together. They were left panting and exhausted.

"What did we just witness?" Athena asked, absolutely bewildered.

"You remember that Miguel's been teaching me Spanish for months now, right?" Felicity began to explain.

"Yeah?" Yana replied.

"Shortly after, I introduced to telenovelas." Miguel added, saying the last word dramatically.

"Are they cheesy? Yes. Are they fun to watch?" Definitely. Do we like occasionally acting like we're in a telenovela? Absolutely!" Felicity beamed.

"But, why are here?" Yana aksed.

"Oh! I found a new abking recipe online and I was dying to try it." Felicity said before turning to Miguel. "And I was serious the peanut butter; the recipe call for it. Could you get some, please?"

"Of course, mi amor." Miguel replied in a tone like that of a telenovela character before chuckling.

He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before dashing out the door and to the store to go buy the peanut butter.

"Could you introduce us to these telenovelas while we wait?" Yana asked.

"Sure!" Felicity agreed.
