Chapter 2 - A Sweet Rascal!

] After school ~ The Clubroom...

((Beep, blip, bleep))

Askka asked, antsy, "Hey Kliff. First you were `unpunctual to our club.. Now its Renna?"

Kliff said, fearful, "Yeah, she is... Askka? Are you bothered by our dawdling?"

"Nah, don't fret over it. *Grumbles* At this rate, my TamaPocket pet will grow up before she arrives." She said, concerned.

((Door clicks))

''Hey, my friends!" Renna said loudly. "My apologies, would you believe I was wrapped up!?"

Askka replied, amused, "Being your BFF, I could `spect that."

Kliff added, "I thought I had -the perilous worries illness... "

Renna explained, jokingly, "Hey Askka? Know that Pastry place my family handles? It turns out, things have just fell behind for us lately."

Askka gasped.

Kliff asked, "Wha~a?"

"Renna! What do you mean!" Askka asked, gripping the table.

She answered, "Well, our customers don't favor our goodies anymore. Recently, my parents have been looking down when those people stopped visiting us."

Infuriated, Askka groaned, "This is_ outrageous..."

Anxious, Kliff said, "Askka... Please cool your -nerves."

((Door clicks open))

"Pleasant Afternoon." The serious lady waved.

[x3]"Miss. Eirika?!" They asked.

"Our advisor? What are you here for?" Askka asked, still irritated.

"Please, don't mind my presence." Eirika calmly stated, taking a chair. "It's my duty to overlook your activities for one day. Carry on. *Waves hand*"

"Rrng... " Askka groaned. "Renna! Have you thought of any way to aid your family?"

"Yes, I have_" Renna answered, with a crunch of Berry Pocki sticks.

] A bit later, Home Ec room~

"Just put together what you guys think would sell. Point taken?" Renna remarked.

"Got it!" Askka spoke.

"If I have to... " Kliff spoke.

Meanwhile, Eirika thought, /"ahHah~ How ironic. To save their friends' business, they're baking specially made bakery.

It's ironic because_ an Economics teacher is overseeing random true economics."/

] Then!

"Okey-doke. Your friend, Renna is gonna test your treats." She announced.

"Go ahead homie." Askka remarked.

"Rrm*mrmm*roh???*" She munched, swallowing awkwardly. "Whyy did I taste chewiness?"

"I give you -sweet squid cakes!" Askka revealed, proudly.

Renna stated, staring intensely, "Please don't offend anymore people with this flavor, OKAY?"

She asked, "What- WHY!?"

] And then~

"eRmm*lrm*MrmUrh?" Renna asked, realizing, "Kliff? These are_ whipped cream soybeans?"

Kliff said, panicked, "Eah! You dislike them, -don't you... "

She replied, tasting again, "Your idea isn't very bad, but still..... you didn't cut it."

((They sigh))

She said, lost in thought, "Oh well, maybe more Pocki chewing will yield me with more ideals."

. . .

/''She's snacking again? -o-ahHah~!"/ Eirika thought, as she called, "Renna! Please, listen closely. (...) You want to save your family store from failure, am I right?

Perhaps you've been snacking on your answer, in that mouth of yours all THIS time."

"Mrmuh...? Rhuh?!?" Renna exclaimed.

] Days later~

"Mom! Lookit all our sweet visitors! It must be a few dozen." Renna said, content.

A happy father said, "Thanks. My son can't get enough. We'll come again."

She said, staring gladly, "Enjoy your Pocki Biscuits. We'll be waiting."

] The end!!!
