[Hey House 49, guess who's gonna try his hand at being a productive little hero? That's right, Toonie is - he's going to be using the stove for the first time all by himself!

Of course, he wasn't going to try anything too overwhelming. Just spaghetti and meatsauce. He had taken some notes in his journal about how to make it, so it's sitting on the counter nearby. He's got everything else ready, but he's still just... waiting for the huge pot of water to boil.

Impatient as he is, he frowns. And since his journal is wide open, you might hear him growl and mutter to himself.]

Geez, how long does it take water to boil? It never took this long when Grandma did it... [You also weren't watching the pot when Grandma did it, bro.]

Are you keeping too close of an eye on it? Water always seems to take longer to boil when you're constantly watching...

[voice]

[elixirsoup]

Wah!!

[OH IT'S JUST HIS JOURNAL... He goes over to it.]

Forgot I had this open! ...So you think I should just stop watching it, then, Jeb?

[voice]

[sketchingideals]

I'm sorry anyway--I didn't mean to startle you.

[Well...]

Well, don't stop watching it completely. That's probably asking for trouble! But don't watch it every second.

[voice]

[elixirsoup]

Oooh. ...Maybe I should do something else, then? While I'm waiting?

[voice]

[sketchingideals]

That's a good idea, but don't forget to check it once in a while!

[voice]

[elixirsoup]

Okay. I'll get the meat ready, then!

[You may or may not hear squelching noises as he stirs up the ground meat...]

[voice]

[sketchingideals]

[Oh, he hears it.]

How often do you cook, Link?

[voice]

[elixirsoup]

This is my first time actually. Grandma did all of the cooking when I lived at home, eheh...

[voice]

[sketchingideals]

That must have been really nice! What's your grandmother like?

[voice]

[elixirsoup]

Grandma's the best!! She's been with us ever since we were born, and she raised me and my little sister all by herself when Mom and Dad died. She's really sweet, and she makes the best soup ever!

[He pauses a bit.]

...I miss her a lot. And I feel bad, too, 'cause I make her worry about me so much.
