Human Kid (II)

18.

"Alright team!" Ashley started as she paced back and forth in front of her teammates.

"Let's cook!"

She looked at her younger sister who held lots of aprons in a box. Ashley grabbed three and passed it on to Suzanne, Andrew and Ethan.

"But first, we need aprons," she smiled as she gave it to them.

Andrew looked bored as he put his on. It was dark blue in color and it had a pink heart in the center.

He also rolled up the sleeves of his light green hoodie least it got stained.

Suzanne looked away as she quickly put on the white apron that Ashley had given her. It had flowery patterns all over it.

Andrew looks kinda cute domesticated.

She blushed as she thought of it.

"Right!" Ethan nodded as he tied the strings of the apron he wore around his waist.

It was light brown in color and it had a dark brown bear head imprinted on the two pockets of the apron.

"Sis Ashley, can I help too?" The small girl standing beside Ashley asked with a slight blush.

"It's okay Crystal, no need to be shy. They're my friends," Ashley smiled at her and bopped her nose.

Andrew nodded at the girl while Suzanne shot Ashley's smaller sister a grin and Ethan walked up to her and patted her ash colored like hair.

"Little one! Have no fear! You shall be one of the lucky witness of my cooking skills!" Ethan said passionately.

Andrew rolled his eyes while Suzanne face palmed herself.

What's that idiot saying? Suzanne groaned inwardly.

"Be brave! Are you ready to rise up to the challenge?!" Ethan asked.

"Yes," Crystal replied in a small voice.

"Are you readyyy?" Ethan asked in a dramatic voice.

"Yes!" Crystal looked at him with bright eyes.

"ARE YOU READY?!" Ethan yelled.

"YES!!" Crystal screamed after him.

"Then let's cook!" Ethan raised his balled fist in the air.

"Yay!" Crystal hopped around him happily.

Ashley chuckled. "Alright you two, we'll start cooking in a minute but first we all have to wash our hands. Good hygiene is important you know," she added the last part as she smiled at her sister.

"Okay, little minion! To the tap!" Ethan grinned at the eager looking Crystal as he held her hand.

Crystal happily hopped beside Ethan as they both headed to the kitchen sink.

Ashley followed them, so did Suzanne and Andrew.

Ashley helped her sister tie her hair up in a bun while Ethan fussed with the soap. It kept slipping off his hands, into the sink.

Suzanne, feeling annoyed, put off the tap and Ethan looked up at her.

"Quit messing around!" she snapped at him. "We have lots of things to cook and not much time!"

"Lots is an understatement," Andrew stated boredly and brought out a scroll from his pocket. He unrolled it and it rolled off.

Part of it fell to the floor and didn't stop rolling until it passed the kitchen door.
