"I'm so excited!" Flanna exclaims, grabbing my hands and spinning me around the room, laughing.

"What is it, Flanna?" I ask, and she suddenly stops dancing,

"The Baking Festival is next week! They just announced it!" She shouts, jumping up and down.

"That's awesome. What're you going to bake?" I ask.

"I haven't decided! I need something new- exciting. Sweet? Savory? Maybe I could use something with a new ingredient? How about something from Italy? Do you have any favorite baked foods? Anything I could make?" Flanna rambles, grabbing me by the arms and grinning up at me, her absurdly large eyes brimming with excitement.

"Dolcezza, I'm Italian. I'm going to need to make a list." I joke. "Do you have a pen and paper?"

"Oh- uh..." Flanna runs off somewhere in her house and comes back with a notepad and a pencil. "Here!" She shoves them into my hands, and I begin to write.

"Oh god... There's so many... Let's see." I mumble, tapping my head with the pencil's eraser.

"Oh my... You really do have a sweet tooth, don't you? All of these are desserts!" Flanna laughs, looking over the list.

"Some of these can be eaten for breakfast." I defend.

"Really? That's interesting... I'll have to look over this some more, thank you!" Flanna exclaims, hugging me. Why does she have to be so cute? She's like a flippin' teddybear!
