The good smell of pancakes and fried sausages wafted from the house to where Myra was sunbathing. Phoebe was making another nice breakfast for them all. She smacked her lips, and her tummy growled. All that energy she expended with Kenny had made her hungry. Her hangover had all but disappeared and right now she was ready to eat a horse. Grabbing her robe, she stood up and headed into the house. Phoebe came stumbling on wobbly legs down the stairs. Myra was cooking. She just read her groggy mind. How did she get back home anyway? She didn’t remember anything.
They both ran into each other right at the foot of the stairs. They stared stupidly at each other for a few moments, and both stumbled into the kitchen. They were mildly surprised to find Asuka in an apron hovering over the cooker. The table was set with plates of steaming pancakes and scrambled eggs, and a bunch of sausages was sizzling in a pan on the fire.
Asuka smiled at them cheerfully as they gawked at her. “Good morning.”
Phoebe and Myra glanced at each other for a moment. “Good…morning Asuka”. Myra replied, still not believing what she was seeing.
“Er…Asuka? What gives?” Phoebe asked.
“Look you guys, I know I’ve been acting like a jerk lately. I apologize. The least I could do was to make breakfast of everyone.”
“You…cook?” Myra asked in disbelief.
“I’ve not even seen you boil water since we’ve known each other.” Phoebe exclaimed too.
“Yes, I do cook. I’ve been cooking since I was ten.”
She scooped the sausages from the pan and served them onto the plates. The aroma of the food made the two astonished girls water.
“Well, let’s tuck in. Where’s Kenny?”
Myra dialed Kenny to come down for their late breakfast. They were all surprised at the sudden change in her. Asuka who was more content to listen quietly at the table was today bringing up discussions after discussions. Phoebe and Myra kept glancing at each other while she yakked on? Who is this new Asuka? Even Kenny was amused at her sudden cheerfulness.
Cheerful Asuka stayed with them for the next couple of days. She no longer bullied Kenny during their tutoring sessions. She spent more time explaining things better to him and for once, he was beginning to warm up to her.
On Thursday while they were lounging by the pool, Asuka told Phoebe and Myra she was going to be away for most of the following day.
“Where’re you going?” Myra asked.
“Manhattan.”
“Manhattan? Who do you know in Manhattan?” Phoebe asked suspicious.
“No one. I surfed the net and I found a nice Japanese store in a place called SOHO. I want to prepare one of my mum’s special recipes for you guys.”
“Okay Asuka, that’s enough.” Myra said. “What’s going on?”
“What do you mean?”
“Your sudden change in attitude. Your cheerfulness this past week.”
“Yeah.” chipped in Phoebe. ”We know you to sometimes be the stuck up bitch, but come on, this takes the cake. We want our old Asuka back. Why all the sudden niceness?”
Asuka ignored the insult. “Well, you guys complained I was acting up a lot. I just want to make up for all my….bitchiness” she said as she glared at Phoebe who broke out into a smile.
“Well, why don’t we all drive down? It would be fun.”
“NO!!!” Asuka said rather hurriedly. “I mean…don’t worry. I’ll take the train.”
Phoebe looked at her suspiciously. “O….kay.”
Both stared after their friend as she stood up and walked to the pool.
“She’s up to something” Phoebe said.
“You think so?”
“I know so. I just can’t put my finger on it.”
“Well we have to wait and see, don’t we? Maybe she’s just changed.”
“Changed? A leopard can’t change its spots. She won’t be Asuka if she doesn’t have that bitchy attitude of hers.”
“Well, let’s give her the benefit of doubt. We’ll see what she’s up to when she gets back.”
