Party time
Today, Yuzu was going to have a party with all her underage friends! She's been real down lately, so she figured having a nice get-together would cheer her up. But there was something missing, a cake! Yuzu had about 2 hours before her guests would arrive, so she'd better start baking now.She rummaged through her pantry, taking count of her ingredients. Sugar, vanilla, milk, flour, cocoa powder... but no eggs!! "Oh jeez oh no! I need to find eggs stat!!" Yuzu yelled in a panic. She rushed out the door, heading straight to her local grocery store. What kind of host won't have a cake for their party? Yuzu could only imagine the embarrassment.
Qfeast town was so gloomy today. Trudging through the chilly rain was more than unfortunate, Yuzu cursed her past self for not checking her inventory. She pushed open the grocery store doors and sighed. "I'll just buy a premade cake, that'll make up for the lost time," she huffed. Quickly walking to the bakery isle, she discovered that there were no more cakes to be found. Looks like she'll have to bake one instead. She hurried to look for eggs, but it seems there was also none left. "Aw damnit! Why'd this have to happen today- of all days!" Yuzu paced around in frustration.
"Hey man, why are you so upset?" Yuzu perked up and started looking around her. "Who said that??" she asked, before having her eyes land on a cat below her. It's collar had a shiny heart-shaped name tag with the name 'Dave' etched into it. "Yeah I'm a cat that's talking to you. What are you gonna do about it? Nothing," Dave said. Yuzu shook her head, she's seen weirder things. "Well, I'm upset because I need a cake, and there's none left, nor are there anymore eggs!" Dave paused for a moment. "Your name doesn't happen to be Yuzu, does it?" Yuzu nodded. "I see, now I understand," Dave murmured. "You'll find a cake at the peak of Qfeast hill, that is all I can let you know." Yuzu didn't ask further questions, she just took a random cat's word for it and made her way.

The rain had calmed down a bit. Yuzu checked her watch, she still had a decent amount of time. She promised all those minors she'd have cake, it'd be cruel to let them down. Focused on getting to the hill, she almost missed the strange homeless yiff artist calling for her attention. "You! Edgy groomer! Come saw off my leg and I'll pay you in mountains!" Yuzu promptly declined this request. "Do not ignore me traveler, I was once a respected sovereign followed by the Qfeast lords themselves!" Yuzu did not look back.
From a distance, music began to come into earshot, Yuzu knew what this meant. Getting closer, she saw Brea was busy nailing pictures of David Bowie pissing into a toaster on everything she could find. It was obvious she hasn't slept in a hot minute. Yuzu ducked her head, "If I have to listen to Word on a Wing one more goddamn time...," she grumbled. Brea immediately turned to Yuzu's direction. "EX-FᑌCKING-SCUSE ME WHAT DID YOU SAY!?!!??" Yuzu booked it as Brea fired nails at her with her limited edition Elton John nail gun.
Yuzu ran with every ounce of adrenaline in her body, she didn't even realize when she began to fall. Tripping on the cold pavement was not a pleasant experience, luckily she caught her fall so not too much damage was done. She gathered herself, realizing that someone actually tripped her on purpose! She looked up to see Estella standing above her. "Hehe look at this dweeb, I bet you don't even have eggs for a cake." Yuzu gasped, "H-how did you know that?" "Oops, looks like I've said too much. Hey wife come look at this cringy lil groomer!" Estella and her wife started making out super hard and it made Yuzu upset because she was jealous. She got up, wiped the dirt off her, and started back again.
She spotted a small multicolored car. "Oh- maybe I can hitch a ride!" She stepped up to the car, it was running but there was no one inside? She tapped the glass and looked around. "WARUM BIST DU NEBEN MEINEM AUTO?" She flinched. Oh dear, not the second scariest language. A clown in an old Beatles shirt yelled to her from across the street. "I-I'm sorry sir... ma'am... clown but I don't speak nazi!!" The clown continued yelling while Yuzu was already walking away. So much for a ride.
She checked her watch again, oh god she needs to hurry. She broke into a sprint, starting to see Qfeast hill ahead- until she ran into someone. Nobody fell over, but it was rough collision. "Oh man I'm so sorry!" She noticed who she crashed into was Sam, who now looked at her like a disappointed parent. "I just took a killer shit earlier, I'd use you to wipe my ass for your apology but I don't want MAP remnants on my taint" Damn that's cold.
Yuzu was so done with today... was the cake even worth it? She sat down on a nearby bench. The hill was close, it's time for a break. Everything was quiet for a moment, until Yuzu noticed someone in her periphery. "Whoa- I didn't notice you! How long have you been-" "Your journey is almost finished," said Rock Lee. "...I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean I was just paid to recite that." He gestured to the top of the hill. "You best be on your way." Almost finished? Yuzu didn't have time to ask questions for Rock Lee was already gone.
With a speck of determination, Yuzu trudged up the hill. Which wasn't actually that tall but man it was windy up there. Before she knew it the top was in sight. Full of accomplishment, Yuzu saw her prize. The cake. She could practically hear the choir music before being interrupted by mysterious slow clapping. The source began stepping toward her from the other side of the hill. "I've been expecting you..." Yuzu froze. "Do you remember me? You edgy ass groomer?" Chiba said. "N-no, I'm not-" Yuzu couldn't believe this. From the corner of her eye she saw Sam appear as well. "Wait a minute- you guys don't underst-" "Shut your whore mouth," another scoffed. Estella and her wife have arrived as well. "Omg babe chill she's not worth it," said Estella's wife. Oh god, this can't be happening. It's the trio of jackasses.
"Yeah that's right, we crashed your pedo party," Sam said. "People like you don't deserve this $7 cake. Yeah I paid seven whole dollars for this ordeal!" Chiba yelled. Yuzu didn't know what to do- they weren't dumb enough to manipulate, and it was too late to run. "You trio of jackasses g-got it all twisted!! You s-sick bastards!!"
"Trio of jackasses? Nuh-huh we're the QFBI," said Chiba.
Yuzu shifted a bit, "That's a dumb name..."
"Silence dickhead."
Chiba kicked Yuzu in the gooch so hard she died.
