Kronk is worried Kronk

[squeak_squeaker]

Mun, I feel kinda worried! You know how I made all those new friends and I met all those nice people and stuff... everywhere? And how there wasn't anyone around to give me chores and-

[Kronk blinked slowly, before collecting his thoughts.] Mun, you went and posted on that one fancy thing. Uhh... that wish thing on that one meme about how you wanted Yzma and an Emperor Kuzco to roller-play with? I think that's what it's called, right? Roller-play. [Riiight. Ooh, a cute little turtle friend! It'd all been worth it!]

What I'm trying to say is... I'm sorta happy, being all by myself! I get to be my own Kronk and bake cookies whenever I feel like it. I even get to EAT cookies whenever I feel like it!

You know it's back to the diet once Yzma pops up. Do you... do you really want that for me, Mun? [Gasp!]

[muffled giggle] I don't think so, but I think this one is too big!

[squeak_squeaker]

Yeah! [Kronk swapped them, giggling just a bit. It was a manly giggle though!]

[turtletuck]

Thanks! Are we going to bake cupcakes now?

[squeak_squeaker]

Oh... yeah! Cupcakes! I almost forgot.

Do you got your little cape apron ready?

[turtletuck]

[Turns his cape around to the front of his shell and secures it] Yes! What do we do first?

[squeak_squeaker]

First, we got to mix up two eggs and flour and milk... and then...uh. [Scratching his head.] Oh yeah, sugar!

[turtletuck]

Sugar will make it yummy! I can break the eggs, I think the sugar and flour and milk might be too heavy for me.

[squeak_squeaker]

Oh... yeah, I'll take care of that for you, little guy!

Do you love sugar too? [A kindred spirit!]

[turtletuck]

I like it on celery!

[Takes an egg and tries to get it into the bowl, grunting]

[squeak_squeaker]

Wait up, I'll help you! [Kronk broke the egg for him, neatly in the bowl, before smiling.]

I bet you'll love these celery cupcakes... and then we can make a celery smoothie too!

[turtletuck]

Thanks, Kronk! And a celery smoothie sounds GREAT! [Hands him the other egg, which is almost as big as he is]

[squeak_squeaker]

[Kronk just beamed at him. How could he NOT help such a cute little turtle? He added the other egg and then the flour and butter and milk. And sugar!]

The celery goes in next... got to chop it up first! That's always kinda scary.

[turtletuck]

I can break up the small pieces by hand, if you want. Knives ARE scary.

[squeak_squeaker]

REALLY? [Kronk looked awfully relieved!]

[turtletuck]

Yep, no problem! [Tuck gets to work breaking smaller pieces off celery stalks like he's done it a million times before, and probably has.]

[squeak_squeaker]

[Smiling, Kronk added them to the mixture. And he put the knife away too; safety first!]

I should make you a little chef hat!

[turtletuck]

Oh, I'd LIKE that! Could you? I'd feel like a REAL chef then!

[squeak_squeaker]

I'll try! Or...uh. Or buy one and then ask Yzma's little tailor guy to make it smaller. [Yzma's tailor liked Kronk! For some, unknown, reason.]

[turtletuck]

Aw, I don't want to make you or anyone go to so much trouble.

[squeak_squeaker]

It won't be any trouble! You're my buddy. [Kronk smiled and carefully pat the little turtle's head with his pinky finger.]

[turtletuck]

[Smiles] Thank you, Kronk! I'm glad we're friends.

[squeak_squeaker]

Ohh, me too! I think you're my first... no. My SECOND friend! Bucky's my first, he's a chipmunk.

I dunno if Yzma counts.

[turtletuck]

You seem like someone who should have LOTS of friends, you're so nice!

We saved a baby chipmunk once! It was stuck in a bird feeder. Ollie the Bunny tried to save him first, but he got stuck himself. It was kind of funny.

[squeak_squeaker]

Ohh... if only that was true! [Other guys thought Kronk was a little strange, they didn't expect a big guy like him to be all about baking and hugs and small animals! He was also too innocent to be of any use to the ladies.]

REALLY? Ohh... I'm real grateful you did that! Did your bunny friend get un-stuck later?

[turtletuck]

Ollie was trying to compete with the Wonder Pets to rescue the chipmunk, but his companions for helping were toys, not animals. You need teamwork for rescuing, so we were able to rescue Ollie AND the chipmunk.

Well, I'm glad you're MY friend, anyway, and I'm sure Bucky is, too.
