This choice: "Oh yeah! I've been eating tons lately, its fun!" • Go Back...Chapter #4"She doesn't need a diet at her age!" by: Shinuto   "Gorging?...Yeah I've been eating a bunch lately!" Yotsuba exclaimed proudly. {She acts like it's a good thing... sigh so naive...} Fuuka thought in response to what the green haired girl said. Asagi merely half-smiled at her young neighbor's sense of wonder and cheerfulness. Fuuka then said, "I wonder why your dad hasn't noticed this..., otherwise he would of told you by now.". "Maybe since to him it was gradual, he didn't notice Yotsuba-chan gaining a little weight over the past week..." Asagi responded to Fuuka's curious statement. *grumble grumble* Yotsuba's stomach then started to gurgle and growl, it begging for sustenance. "Haha! It's hungry again!" Yotsuba laughed as she stared down at her slightly rounder belly poking our from her midsection, the growls of her stomach making her ripples in the small layers of fat that now rested upon her body. "Again? When was the last time you ate today Yotsuba?" Asagi asked in curiosity. Yotsuba thought for a moment, her eyes becoming blank for a second and her tilted as she began remembering her last snacking.
"Ummm...oh! It was at 3:06!" Yotsuba then ran over to a small clock sitting on a shelf in the living room and brought it over to show the time. "It was right here..." Yotsuba then pointed at the Big six. "What?! That was just thirteen minutes ago, just before you came over!" Fuuka exclaimed learning just how "long" it was since Yotsuba had last eaten. "We had Gyūdon!" *Japanese dish consisting of a bowl of rice topped with beef and onion simmered in a mildly sweet sauce flavored with dashi (fish and seaweed stock), soy sauce and mirin (sweet rice wine).* Yotsuba said, oblivious to her inaccurate telling of time and Fuuka's exclamation. Suddenly, her hunger rang through again and she ran to the kitchen...
"Mom! Is there anything to eat?" Yotusba said to Mrs. Ayase, who had been currently reading the newspaper and had been to in it to pay attention to what had been happening in the next room. "Hmm? Oh well sure, take a look in the fridge Yotsuba." Mrs. Ayase said, putting down her newspaper to help the five year old. Looking into the fridge Yotsuba's eyes gleamed in awe at all the wondrous foods, mostly sweets. "Wow! so many delicious stuff, you must have baker here!" Yotsuba said quite cheery at just how much sweets were in the refrigerator. "Hehe, trust me if we had a baker here she'd be a whale." Asagi said pointing a finger at her mother. Mrs. Ayase just glared angrily at her eldest daughter, clenching her fist in hopes that her daughter would get her karmic retribution for that remark. "Oh wow, a whole sundae! Can I have it?" Yotsuba shouted in sheer joy at the sight of such a delicacy. "NO, that's mine." Mrs. Ayase said rather bluntly. Then, the middle-aged woman finally noticied the change that Yotsuba had gone through. "Hmm? Say Yotsuba... did you gain a little weight since I last saw you?" she said kneeling down and poking the girl's peeking gut. "Oh yeah, Its good, and now I'm like Fuuka!". "Ah, yes... I can see that, you've seem to put on a little weight as well Fuuka." Mrs. Ayase said seeing how the both of them had put on weight. "Agh, Mom!" Fuuka cried, seeing that she just couldn't find any sympathy in her family at certain times. "Don't you think she could use a diet?" she said. "Fuuka... she doesn't need a diet at her age! That could have detrimental effects on her body's system, she should just focus on eating normally." Asagi said in response to Fuuka's statement. "Hmm..., you also seemed to have put on a little weight Asagi." Mrs. Ayase said, noticing how both of her older daughters' gaining and in retaliation to her elder daughter's earlier remark. "Ugh it's only 12 pounds!" Asagi shouted, putting her hands to her hips.
Meanwhile, Yotsuba had taken to now raiding the pantry looking for anything large, sweet and yummy. "Ohhh! What about this?" the girl then grabbed out from the back of the pantry, a rather large sized box of cake mix. "Hmm? Oh will lets see..." Mrs Ayase looked at the back of the box to check the ingredients and remembered that she did have all the requirements. "This'll be fine." Mrs. Ayase smiled down to the now drooling girl, sweat-dropping at the sight of the tranced state she seemed to be in. After getting out all the ingredients, mixing them all together, and keeping Yotsuba from licking too much of the batter in the bowl, Mrs. Ayase had finished the large chocolate cake, decorations and all.
Yotsuba and the others sniffed the sweet aroma coming from the pastry. Mrs. Ayase then got out knives and forks. "Well, who wants cake?"  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
