Oh the tragedy AU! Dandy's World does your dares! [CLOSED 4 NOW]

~🍓❤️~

"Hello there, Sprout, Cosmo. What are you two up to today?" Tisha entered the kitchen, curious. 

"Oh, we're making a fruit cake. Wanna help us?" Sprout asked, smiling at the tissue box. 

"W-We're going t-to need all the h-help we can get, so y-you're welcome to j-join us," Cosmo added, his voice almost a whisper. 

"Of course I'll help! And I'll watch out so you two won't make a big mess like last time."

...

Sprout prepared all the ingredients while Cosmo took out all the other things they'll need. Tisha, ever the clean freaky she was (/aff, I love Tisha/p), was getting all her cleaning supplies ready. 

"Okay! Let's start with the boiled fruit mixture!" Sprout said. 

Cosmo took the ingredients for the mixture and left it to simmer under medium heat. Once it was ready, Sprout put it in the fridge to speed up the process.

The cake roll then preheated the oven and they started making the fruitcake batter.

*Wow, this is a lot of work...*

Cosmo watched Tisha already cleaning the mess they've made. He was feeling a bit guilty for making such a big one. Poor Tisha, she always cleaned until she was too tired to....

Sprout poured the batter into a cake tin and spread it out. He then lightly dropped the not baked yet cake a few times to get rid of unwanted air bubbles. 

The strawberry let Cosmo put the cake in the oven while Tisha began scrubbing the counter where they made the cake. 

....

The two sat down in front of the oven. They liked doing that. The warmth of the oven was always very comforting. 

"T-Tisha, you can j-join us if y-you want to..." Cosmo said, shyly smiling. 

"Yeah, come here, Tisha! There's plenty of room and warmth here for all of us," Sprout made some space for Tisha to sit.

The tissue box gave them both a grateful smile and sat down. "Aw, thanks, you two!" 

They watched the cake, Sprout checking from time to time if the cake is done by inserting a skewer in it. 

...

Finally, it was done.

"I'll take it out of the oven. It then has to cool for around 30 minutes," Sprout explained as he took the fruit cake out.

He left it on the now clean counter. 

"Oh wow, you really cleaned it, Tisha! And everything else too!" The strawberrie's eyes widened in wonder. 

Tisha blushed slightly. "Thanks, I really like keeping the place clean!"

"A-And you do i-it so well, Tisha!" Cosmo praised.
