14 (13) Cooking with Aria

Opening her eyes, Aria saw Annie looking down on her. Annie anxiously said "Are you alright" Aria sweetly smiled and calmly said "Don't worry, I'm fine." She got up and rubbed the back of her head. "It hurts"

"Well you did fall to the floor" Annie quietly laughed. She also got up and said "It's time to go" Aria and Annie snuck all the way to the kitchen. Along the way, Aria accessed the shop and bought cooking ingredients. Pre-made pizza doe, a few tomatoes, piece of ham, grated cheese and slices of chicken. All of it cost 100 coins. Aria quietly cursed because it cost so much.

Entering the kitchen, there was a large work surface and a oven next to it. Annie turned towards Aria. Aria nodded and said "I'll get the ingredients now."

Walking over to a random cupboard. She opened it and placed the ingredients inside. She next picked them up and walked back over.

Annie saw the meat and was shocked "how did you get so much meat!"

Aria smiled and winked "Secret"

Placing the ingredients down she looked for a bowl and place it down. She turned to Annie. "You can help if you want" Annie nodded and suppressed her excitement.

"While I turn the oven on, could you mash the tomatoes into a paste with the bowl? But wash your hands first." Not forgetting hygiene. She nodded and cleaned her hands and got to work.

The oven was simple to use, put some coal in and light it. After shovelling coal in, Aria got a match and lit the fire. She then walked back over and handled the doe. She put some flour over the worktop and placed the Doe down. Needing the doe took some time then she started putting into a circle shape. Flattening it she then asked Annie "if your done, could you spread the paste all over the doe?"

Annie nodded and got a knife and started spreading it. Luckily the paste they had was just enough. Aria quickly spreaded and cheese and until it was fully covered

The next step was cutting up the ham. Finding a large knife wasn't hard in the kitchen and Aria begun cutting it into small pieces. After spreading it onto the pizza Aria asked if Annie wanted to do the chicken. Annie nodded excitedly and cut it into fine strips. Doing the same as Aria, she spread it over the pizza doe.

Annie nodded satisfactory and turned towards Aria. "Do we just put it in the oven?" She nodded and put it in.

"All we do it wait until it get golden brown around the edges and it should be good." Aria said as she sat down and placed herself against the counter. Annie sat next to her and waited.

After a while Annie finally said something "Aria, why do you speak that language"

Aria was surprised "What language?" Before Annie could retort, they could hear a door being opened. Both of them quickly dashed behind the large counter. The walking got louder and suddenly they heard sniffing.

Aria heard this and jokingly said "Who sniffs so loudly" Annie quickly covered her mouth and waited. After a few seconds a girls voice could be heard "whoa, why is the oven on and is that food?"

"Wait, that's meat. Who's making it"

Hearing this, the two of them looked at each other and stood up. "Sasha, why are you here" Annie also chimed in "Potato Girl"

Hearing her name called out, Sasha looked over surprised. She saw a silver haired girl next to a blonde haired girl looking over.

"Aria, Annie?" Surprised, she looked at them.

Coming out of their hiding spot, they started to talk "Why are you here Sasha?"

Sasha put an embarrassed face on and said quietly "I was hungry"

The three of them talked for a bit before the food was finished. Aria looked down and found it to be finished. "It's finished" Hearing this

Sasha got excited and Annie smiled slightly.

Taking it out carefully, she placed it on the counter and got the knife. Cutting it into 8 pieces. "Dig in"

The three of them grabbed a slice and bit into it. "So heavenly" Sasha was the first one to exclaim. "Very good" Said Annie while staring at it. Aria just smiled.

"Sasha were are you?" Another girl's voice called out. As the girl entered, they looked over to find Yimir standing there.

Yimir on the other hand was dumbfounded, three people were eating in the middle of the night. "Why are you guys here" she then looked down at the food. Her stomach let out a noise. She embarrassingly tried to cover it up. "We are here just for that" Sasha called out

Aria giggled and said "what to try a bit?" Yimir nodded and grabbed a piece. She bit into it and smiled. "It tastes so nice" they all smiled hearing that.

After they had finished, they sat in the kitchen around a small candle. Sasha suddenly said "So, any of you like someone" After that was said, It became quiet. The first one to talk was Yimir. "Well, Christa is really cute" she sighed "youth". Sasha was confused "Your the same age as us?" Yimir thought about it 'if you count being stuck as a Titan for 60 years, I'll be your grandma'

Aria smiled and said "what about you Sasha" Hearing this, Sasha became flustered and said "w-well I don't know. Maybe C-Connie" she suddenly became red.

Surprised by the answer, Aria thought about it "Well he does have a similar attitude to you. I don't see why not"

Sasha, said "what about you then"

"Hmmm, I don't know. I haven't thought about if that much" Aria unconsciously glanced at Annie. Yimir saw it and giggled. Aria noticed and angrily glanced at Yimir "Shut up you Loli-con"

"Wait, what's a Loli-con" said Yimir confused. Aria smiled and said "someone who likes little girls"

Yimir retorted "she's the same age"
