'HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!!!' someone shouts behind me. It's not Izumi as I expected.

'M...mother!' Tomoka shouts.

'Looks like I made it just in time' mother says.

'That's right mother!' father says. He talks like a hero in a hero show.

'Father, mother, what are you doing here?' I ask.

'They came to see your special cake' Izumi says.

'We're home nii-san' Yae says.

'We're back' Ema says.

Everyone is together.

'Mmhmm, I see, this is the cake Kazuya and Tomoka made together.' Mother says.

'They did it mother!' Father says.

'After just one week practice too. Of course, they share my DNA' mother says.

'They inherited my special abilities too' Father says.

'Ehhhh? I'm way more capable a pâtissière than you' mother says

(some Frenchman yelled at me in another thread about my use of Pâtissière because I applied it to a male. Apparently the word is female only? Does anyone know the male equivalent? The only French I know is 'Oh zut mon pantalons' which means oh darn my pants).

'You two are going to argue the moment you come home?' Izumi says upset.

Mother apologizes to Izumi. She won't get upset at father again.

'We've got to get the cake out now,' I tell them both.

'Don't worry,' mother says.

'Check this out Kazuya, Tomoka!' father shouts. He takes a cake he held and shows it off. It's a fruit cake with lace frosting, sweet cream, and accented with chocolate decorations. It's completely different from the cake Tomoka and I made.

'Amazing!' Tomoka says.

'Ahahahaha, this is the true power of a loving married couple!' Father says.

'Stop bragging, don't be so rough all the time!' Mother shouts and hits him.

'Izumi helped us use your school kitchen' Mother says.

'Mother called me the day before yesterday and said we needed to make the special cake together. It was like a second proposal' Father says.

Mother is so embarrassed she's shaking. 'Don't get so full of yourself.' Mother says.

Just then the customer comes in asking about his cake. Mikoto is watching the front of the shop so she tells him we're glad we were able to make his proposal cake and it'll just be a moment.

'Go on Kazuya, Tomoka,' Mother says.

'But, you two made a special cake too, aren't you using that one?' Tomoka asks.

'What are you saying Tomoka? You and Kazuya worked hard together for the customer, this is the cake you promised to make together.' Mother says.

'Right, this is the cake you made with the customer in mind,' Father says.

'Mother, father, thank you' I say.

'Thank you Kazuya, because of you I got to hear mother's deredere voice again. Honey, we need to make the special cake together. It was so sweet to hear it again' Father says.

Mother punches him. 'It hurts but it feels good,' Father says.

'Go on, the customer is waiting' Mother says.

'Of course,' Tomoka says. She and I leave to go present the customer with his cake.
