[Action]

[After an interesting conversation a while back, Fuuka couldn't help but wonder a few things. While she was new at being a trainer, she didn't want to seem like a heavy to her fellow friends. Sure, she was still getting use to making and creating new things but the fact was? It was going to take her some time.

As Fuuka was wandering around the city, she simply stared at the pieces of chicken she created. While she knew better than to cook anything, if she wanted to get any better, she had to listen to other people. Even if those harsh words were going to hurt her.

With a heavy gulp in her throat, she gave a nervous chuckle as she prepared herself for the worst]

U-Um...excuse me, do you think you can try this? I want to hear what you think about it?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Yukiko blinked at the offered food. The little bits of Torchic smelled fine. The color was a little off...but.]

Um, okay. I can. But is it...supposed to be grey?

[And of course, out of all people she had to run into, it's Yukiko. With sweat running down her back, she was the person who she hoped would never eat any of her cooking.

But alas, it was never met to be.]

U-Um...I suppose?

[Suppose she said]

[Fuuka...why are you nervous? Yukiko smiles fondly, and looks at it again. She doesn't mind. Especially not since it's Fuuka. She does trust the other girl, after all, and she wants to help.]

Well. Okay then. I'll give it a try.

[She lifts the spoon to her mouth...

LAST CHANCE TO STOP HERRRRR]

[And as Yukiko took a handful, both her pokemon and her just stared at her with big eyes. It almost feels like they were watching a massive storm that was about to blow through!

As Fuuka gave a gulp, she eventually decided to speak up!]

Y-Yukiko, wait! I...I think that might not be a very good idea! I did cook it but it's...not that good?

[Yukiko blinks in surprise and stops.]

Um. I thought the point was to...uh...test to see if it was or wasn't?

[She shakes her head.]

I mean...I'd like to try it, since you asked, and you cooked it.

[And Fuuka continued to mumble even more. As much as she wanted to make Yukiko proud of her? She had a confession to make!]

...I-It was but I tried my cooking before and I think it's not that great?

[Mumble mumble] But I suppose I want someone to tell me wrong and that it's not as bad as it seems...

Well. I know I'm not good at cooking either. So...let's try it together? And then we can reevaluate after.

[She's willing...]

And if it's not great? well...we can study together, okay?

[Somehow? That made Fuuka feel slightly better. But only by a little bit. Although, there was something else that was bothering her.]

Even if we were to study together at cooking......you're not mad? That I didn't tell you the truth?

[And it felt like she was using others?]

Why would I be? You were nervous...but you told me the truth in the end didn't you?

[And rather than argue...she takes that bite.

And immediately turns that lovely shade of Persona Blue, whole face freezing up...]

[And at this point? Fuuka didn't bother to look at Yukiko. Instead, she just looked at the ground trying to figure out what to say back to her.

Eventually, once she saw her friend turning blue?]

A-Ah, Yukiko! Are you okay? Do you need something to drink? You need to breath!

[She...coughed and opened her mouth, spitting out the contents and trying not to gag.]

That...we...wow. That was...sour? Did you mean for it to be sour?

[...

.....

..........]

N-No, I didn't. I wanted it to taste sweet but...it didn't turn out the way that I thought, did I?

[Yukiko shakes her head sadly.]

No, unfortunately. [She smiles, weakly but still smiles.]

We can work on this together.

[For a moment, Fuuka didn't say anything. She just continued to stare down at the ground before a small smile appeared.]

Y-Yeah, I suppose so!

[...] But...I guess my cooking was as bad as I thought...

Hey, it's okay.

[Yukiko sets down the bowl and steps in to give Fuuka a hug and a shy smile.]

Mine's...worse, probably. Chie won't let me near the kitchen.

[When she decided to give her a hug, her eyes widen. She wasn't expecting a hug much less even encouraging words from her either!]

Oh? How so? But I don't think it's that bad! I bet yours even better though!

[Yukiko's cheeks colored too, mostly embarrassed to admit it...]

Well, I made Ganesha very, very sick last time I made anything that was more complicated than a salad. I'm...pretty sure I'm worse.

[Blink blink.

Okay, Fuuka couldn't help but giggle just a bit]

Then I think we can be worse together? But it does feel nice, knowing that there is someone out there who isn't good at cooking like me.

[Harsh!]

I...yeah, I guess it is nice, isn't it? I mean...I always thought there was nobody who could be as dreadful as me. [She laughs lightly and elbows Fuuka a bit.] I guess we're just peas in a pod.

And what is that suppose to mean?

[She chuckled a little before allowing herself to be elbowed] But I guess this just means we need to get better that cooking don't we?

Or unless we'll have to see a few angry people when they eat our cooking!
