.... thinking. 'Well, that was easier than expected. I guess I should have expected as much, considering I used to do the same thing with my pens back in the university when I was bored. Anyways, this place seems like it will be fun.'

The group makes another turn down a street filled with fantastical lights hovering above slim wooden designed pillars. And these are some street lamps the people had made, so it would not be as 'normal' at night.

Leading the group, Yin says. "Here we are."

Yue quickly questions him. "Is this not the residential district? Why would there be a shop here, rather than with all the others in the shopping district?"

Then Rei swiftly intervenes. "I think I may know the answer to that one. ... If I am not wrong, there is an eccentric young lady among us, who loves cooking, as well as sharing that passion with others. She is a chef, that I believe you named Veronica. She is one of the few people among us who actually researches every aspect of gastronomy or in other words food rather than some form of technological advancements."

Hearing this, Yue continues by asking curiously, with his stomach growling a little. "So are we going to knock, go in, or just wait until she comes out some time this year?"

Seeing the hunger making him impatient, Yin, walks forward and knocks on the door, as the two follow behind.

*Knock *Knock

One could hear the knock echoing through the house, as well as a feminine voice a few seconds later kind, and gracefully saying. "I will be there in a moment."

A few seconds later, the thick dark wood door, engraved with elegant designs, pulls open before them inwardly. Looking at Yueliang, a beautiful lady with dark red hair, in a dark late Victorian era dress, with the shoes and accessories to match, greets her guests. "Hello dear guests, my name is Victoria, and may I ask as to what has brought you here today? Have you come for cooking, tea, or maybe me?"

Not phased in the slightest Yue answers with a serious face. "I think these two came for cake decorating, while I came for you milady."

Victoria blushes and asks with a hint of hope. "Really?"

Replying to her question with a sly smile and a shy voice. "Not today, but maybe one day. We were hoping to do the cake decorating, I hear it is positively delicious, as well as fun. However, I am not sure that, I am talented enough."

Conflicted she starts turning around while saying. "Follow me to the kitchen." As she starts walking toward it, the three follow and she says. "It is not about skill, but passion. As skill comes with experience."

Leaning to his right, Rei whispers to Yue. "I told you she was an eccentric one."

Yue just shakes his head, before whispering back. "Maybe, but personally I call it morals, and it is attractive."

"Hahaha. Alright, I got it." Rei laughs, as the two seperate and head to an island table.

Victoria, after guiding them to their spots, asks. "Alright, so what kind of cakes would you like?"

Curious, Yue replies with a question. "What are they having?" Yue asked while looking at another table surrounded by what seems to be a few couples.

Following their gaze, she giggles a little before saying. "Alright, I will be right back. Also, the knives are in the top drawer, icing in the bottom biggest drawer, and the caps, as well as anything accessories are in the middle drawer." Having finished letting them know where things are, she goes to a door leading to another room.

Coming back out, she is pulling a cart with three cakes, all of about .3 meters in height, and .3 meters in diameter. Rolling them across the room, she see the three young men with their tools in hand and ready to begin, thus she lifts tray by tray, placing the cakes before them. "A Chocolate cake for Yin the lich, to enjoy something sweet in life. Here is a Funfetti cake for Rei, to have something fun, to relax. Then last but certainly not least, a red velvet cake for Yueliang, that you may soon find romance in your life." Passing each around as if they were a philosophical present that would change their futures.

Not saying a word further, the three got to work, as though their life depended on it. And seeing this, Victoria just walked around watching the various couples enjoying their time together, with a smile on her face.

---- Thirty Minutes Later ----

Victoria comes back to see how the three young men where doing, as she presumed they would just decorate them messily, and then eat them. Arriving at their station her eyes bulge as she sees the seriousness and dedication in each of their eyes, working on their own individual materpieces.

Looking at the one on the end closest to the wall she exclaims to Rei. "Isn't that the Eiffel tower from Yueliang's old world?! And you even used frosting to make the christmas lights! Not to mention the fact that it is some how staying standing with all the holes in it, just like the real thing!"

Rei without even looking up responds. "I wanted to challenge myself, plus by the time I was done taste testing, there was not much left."

Hearing his response she could not help but laugh before moving onto the next one in the line Yin. "That is beautiful, where is that?"

"Well, this is a landscape from my old world before war set in again. The beautiful waterfall that bears a cave I lived in for a while and the trees, and animals that lived there." Yin continues the same as Rei, with out lifting his head. Then as he was almost finished making cuts and icing it, he accidentally cuts down a tree.

Seeing this, Victoria, comments. "Wow, how realistic. Hehehe" After her comment, and light laughter she moves on as Yin looks down, saddened that part of his project broke.

However seeing Yues' work, she asks in curiosity and wonder. "You created a wedding cake, how classic, yet appealing. However, the stand for the second and third layer appear to be made of cake. How did you manage such a feat?"

Unlike the others, Yue raises his head, saying proudly. "I just did some rough calculations in my head, and my luck probably attributed to the success. But the Juliet roses were the hardest to make them look real." He says as he places his hands down on the counter. Pushing down on something he looks down, before looking a Yin.

Although before Yue could say a word, Victoria not noticing his mistake says. "I love it. If you want to help out here sometime just let me know, as I intend to make food for all occasions and a skilled hand such as yours, Yins', and Reis' are more than welcome."

"Yue, you!!!" Yin exclaims, kind of annoyed that his frosting sprayed over his work of art, where even the icing waterfall looked as if it were flowing. He quickly without thinking squeezes the icing in his hand, adding flair to Yues' wedding cake.

Noticing the situation, Victoria sighs before saying. "Please do not fight in here. If you wish to continue your dispute, please take it to the arena, where you will not break anything."

Yet, not hearing a word she said, the two start throwing cake at each other, and Victoria mumbles to herself while turning around to get some rags and buckets. "This is so troublesome. Why do people with such skills have to not think when it comes to their pieces of art."

She walks into the back room only to come back to the door hearing loud noises, thinking to herself. 'What in the world is going on in there? I hear laughter, and it seems they are having fun. Well, I guess they do not have to stop just yet, if it means they are happy, as happiness is the reason I do this.' Thus she walks into the room only to see the other couples in the room have joined in, with smiles on their faces, and guarding their sides of the room as if it were a snow ball fight.

Seeing this, Victoria picks up one of her warm brownies, that she made for her guests before they leave mumbling as she throws one. "Is this how you do it?"

---- About 10 Minutes Later ----

Everyone starts falling on their rear ends, laughing, and taking deep breaths. Feeling a bit tired from all the adrenaline finally leaving their bodies. One lady says to her husband while looking at the ceiling. "Wow, that was so fun. We should come again. Who knew she has food fights here all the time. What a delicious, and fun way to enjoy yourself even as an adult." The lady just presumed as it is her first time here.

Hearing her comment, Yueliang says to Yin. "Sorry about your cake of your home. Also, I think we may have gone over board, especially since the walls are covered in multicolored cake and frosting. However on the upside at least they are edible. Hhaha" The two laugh at the comment, before hearing Victoria saying. "You think. Well, at least we all had fun, and I had a new experience. Although, would you mind helping with the clean up? I mean it will take days by myself, and getting vermin in here is not exactly sanitary."

Yue quickly replies. "Of course, and I am sorry about this, but at least we all had fun. And look, it seems everyone bonded, and are closer together as a result."

"You are right Yueliang, and thank you in advance for helping." She replies.
