I...

I want cake.

I don't think there's chiffon cake here, but I bet... I bet I could eat a whole cake by myself... or... or something... maybe... maybe jam... something sweet...

Oooh... everything hurts all funny like...

Really?

...I can't remember if I've had pound cake. Is it sweet?

[shockinglycool.livejournal.com]

Actually, a sponge cake would be better...

[pilot_princess]

That one's sweeter, right?

[shockinglycool.livejournal.com]

Well, it might not be sweeter by itself, but you're supposed to eat it alongside sweet things.

[pilot_princess]

I want a sweet cake...

[shockinglycool.livejournal.com]

Well...

Without butter...

[pilot_princess]

Butter? What's butter got to do with cake?

[shockinglycool.livejournal.com]

It's an ingredient. The tricky thing about baking in comparison to other cooking is that... if you're making for example soup, you can kinda improvise and say, "I don't want potato, I'll use carrots" or "I want beef broth instead of chicken broth." But with baking, you have to follow the recipe exactly. Butter is a critical ingredient in cakes and most sweets, but no one knows how to make it...

...How many eggs do I have, anyway...?

[pilot_princess]

Well, I know what butter is...

Didn't know it was so complicated, baking a cake...

Well, that just sucks then!

[shockinglycool.livejournal.com]

It's tricky, but it's not impossible. I can promise you a great cake. I'll run to the ends of the earth for it if you'll eat it when I return.

[pilot_princess]

That's... a really far way to run... you don't have to do all that, really...

[shockinglycool.livejournal.com]

I don't have to, but I'd like to.

[pilot_princess]

....why?

[shockinglycool.livejournal.com]

...Because you need to eat. Because you want a cake. Because it's something... I can do.

[pilot_princess]

You're... you're really nice to me... I don't know how I could ever pay you back for that... a whole cake too...

I don't need to eat, though... I'm a freaky alien.

[shockinglycool.livejournal.com]

I ain't doing it for payment. Actually, just doing it is kinda payment in itself.

If you're hungry, you should eat. Freaky alien or what.

[pilot_princess]

Why's that?

Well... my tummy doesn't know if it's really hungry or not... I just know I want cake...

[shockinglycool.livejournal.com]

...I just like helping people, that's all.

Then I'll make you a cake. Simple as that.

[pilot_princess]

That's really really nice of you... and you don't want anything?

Can you make a cake with one hand?

[shockinglycool.livejournal.com]

...

[pilot_princess]

...you can't, can you?

[shockinglycool.livejournal.com]

Of course I can. No sweat. I made that curry, right?

Was hoping you wouldn't catch on to that.

[pilot_princess]

Y-yeah... you did.

If you can't, it's okay, though... Shinji might bring me candy!

[shockinglycool.livejournal.com]

Of course I can.

[pilot_princess]

Okay!

How long does it normally take to bake a cake? What kind of cake is it? How big is it gonna be - like, one of those small lovey sharing cakes, or a really really round one for a whole party? And it'll be sweet, right? And it won't look bad, or lumpy or deformed or strange or--
