❝ ＷＨＯ ＡＴＥ ＩＴ？ ❞

In Gummy's bright and joyful living room, Kala, Harry and (Y/n) were lounging almost to the point of sleep on Gummy's long, pastel green couch. Meanwhile Gummy himself was plopped neatly onto his pink beanbag beside them, also almost to the point of collapsing into deep sleep.

Suddenly, the sound of the doorbell ran through the apartment.

"Your turn to get it..." Gummy whined to the others, only slightly opening his eyes to see them.

"I got it last Tuesday, it's Kala's turn." Harry confirmed, only opening his eyes to look towards Kala.

"Wrong; because I got it twice the day before that, that means it's (Y/n)'s turn." She said, lazily looking towards her sister on the other side of the sofa.

"Nah, I got it twice last Friday AND Saturday! That's more than all of you, so it's definitely not my turn to get it." (Y/n) reminded them, not even opening her eyes.

"You did not!"

"Did too!"

"Double did not!"

Soon Kala, Harry and (Y/n) were all arguing about who's turn it was to welcome whoever had taken the time to visit.

Gummy was trying to return to his relaxing mental and physical position, so was ignoring the debate beside him until he heard his friends shout "BACK ME UP HERE, GUMMY!"

He sighed. "Double double was... maybe. Look, I'll just get it." He said, sliding off his beanbag to open to door, hopefully to end the argument.

"Don't you dare!"

"It's his turn!"

"No it's her turn!"

"Well whoever's turn it is, it seems kind of silly for us all to-" Gummy began, until the doorbell ringing a second time stopped him in his tracks.

All four friends ran to the door, opening it aggressively out of pure annoyance, screaming "WHAAAATT???" at the unfortunate person who had come to pay a visit.

The visitor was Gummy's neighbour, Granny Peters. She was holding a plate of interesting looking donuts.

"Hello neighbours, I had a few extra, so I thought I'd bring you over a plate of my absolute favourite donuts!" She said, offering the plate to the group.

"Wow, thanks Granny." Gummy said, his irritation of the previous argument becoming gratitude as he accepted the donuts.

"Hope you like them as much as I do. Bye!" Granny left.

Gummy and his friends surrounded the kitchen table, looking at the donuts from Granny.

"Well, that sure was nice of her..." Harry said, to break the awkward silence.

"The thought was anyway, but the donuts look, well, kinda strange." Gummy said, curiously looking at the donuts. The dough was an interesting, 'off' shade of creamy brown, and the icing decoration was a mixture of unappetising brown and green.

"They do don't they. I've never actually seen donuts that look like these before. How about you guys?" Kala nervously asked.

"Well, the hole part in the middle looks pretty familiar." Gummy said, making (Y/n) quietly giggle on the stool next to him.

"But all the rest is well..." (Y/n) started.

"Weird..." Harry finished.

"You're just saying that because you're a picky eater!" Kala said, almost trying to start up another argument.

"Not as picky as you!"

(Y/n) sighed, rolling her (e/c) eyes placing her folded arms onto the table and slamming her head down onto them. Gummy noticed and chuckled quietly to himself. (Y/n) felt his cute blue eyes looking at her, making her blush into the table.

"Or you either come to think of it..." Harry turned to Gummy, making him snap back into reality.

"Hey! I'll admit I may be slightly picky when it comes to trying new foods, but that still doesn't make me anywhere near as picky as you two!"

(Y/n) sighed into the table, zoning out so she wouldn't have to put up with another silly argument.

A few minutes later she zoned back in, hearing her sister trying to end the argument. "Good thing none of us are picky eaters! And if ever we were, we would admit we were wrong if it wound up being good?"

"Exactly... if you're gonna try the donuts can you just do it?" (Y/n) sighed.

"Yeah... because we probably shouldn't be rude and not even, you know, taste them..." Gummy started.

"After you!"

(Y/n) rolled her eyes and giggled slightly.

"Actually, I had a big breakfast just... uh, last Saturday! You first!" Kala said trying to delay her opportunity to try the donuts.

"And I just ate a grape a few hours ago..." Harry said, also trying to come up with an excuse.

"Me too. A really big one, so I'm feeling pretty full..." Gummy added.

"AFTER YOU!" They shouted in unison.

They finally took a donut each, taking the tiniest bite they possibly could just to taste them. (Y/n) noticed Gummy's expression changing from a look of uncertainty to pleasure. He just didn't want to admit it.

"It was OK, I guess." He eventually stated.

"Not bad." Harry agreed.

"Could've been worse..." Kala added. "But what about you, (Y/n)?" She continued, noticing her sister hadn't taken the last donut.

"Oh, no I'm good..." she said nervously.

"Who's the picky eater now?" Harry joked, earning a glare from his friends. He laughed nervously.

"I suppose we should..." Gummy started.

"Finish it off?" Kala finished off the sentence.

"I mean, just to be polite..." Harry added.

With that, the friends munched into their donuts, enjoying every bite and consuming every last crumb. (Y/n) giggled noticing that Gummy was literally checking that every crumb on his plate was gone.

"One. Donut. Left." Kala stated.

The group then stared at the final donut left alone on the plate, glaring at each other to claim the little pastry.

"This is getting us nowhere..." (Y/n) said.

Gummy nodded. "Let's just store the last donut for the night in the fridge. It'll be safe there."

His friends agreed and Gummy gently placed the donut in the middle of the fridge, with an ice cold shelf all to itself.

"Goodnight little circle of joy..." Harry said to the donut.

"Sleep tight." Kala added.

"Sweet dreams!" Gummy said.

(Y/n) giggled at their behaviour, then yawned after realising the time, heading to bed.

~

It had just passed midnight, but Gummy, Harry and Kala were still thinking about the donut, that was now all alone in the freezing fridge. The friends had woken up and were sneaking around Gummy's kitchen and living room, secretly heading towards the fridge.

The rustling of movement had also woken (Y/n), who had a feeling what was going on. She also headed for Gummy's kitchen.

She was greeted with her friends hiding around the fridge. Just as they all reached out to open the fridge, (Y/n) turned on the lights. Gummy noticed her and giggled nervously.

Harry laughed. "Uh... I was just getting some... uh, shoe polish!"

Kala turned to her sister. "I was just making sure the donut was comfortable! It's pretty chilly inside that fridge!"

"I was... uh, sleepwalking!" Gummy suddenly shouted, pretending to sleepwalk across the room, making (Y/n) laugh. He slightly opened one of his eyes to see (Y/n)'s cute smile before heading back to bed.

~

While (Y/n) had made sure the donut situation had left her mind to ensure she managed a good night sleep, the others were still imagining who could be the one to steal the last donut.

"It's Kala!" Gummy shouted.

"It's Harry!" Kala exclaimed.

"AAAH!! It's Gummy!" Harry cried.

The three friends all returned to the fridge, only to be faced with surprise and a little disappointment when they were greeted with the donut, still sitting there alone on the icy shelf. They nervously laughed at each other, slowly returning to bed.

But within minutes of their sleep, the sound of ringing alarm clocks filled the room as the sun began to rise outside.

~

Gummy, Harry and Kala returned to the fridge in the early minutes of the bright and sunny morning, only this time to be greeted with an empty plate.

"IT'S GONE!?!" the three friends cried in unison, out of surprise and confusion.

They turned to each other, all shouting "I KNEW I NEVER SHOULD'VE TRUSTED YOU!"

"You ate it!" Kala screamed, pointing at Harry.

"No! You did!" Harry shouted, pointing at Gummy.

"YOU BOTH DID!" Gummy shrieked, pointing at both his friends.

"How dare you accuse me of eating it, when I know with absolute certainty that you probably maybe might have eaten it..." Harry began shouting. "You... you... YOU EGGS BENEDICT ARNOLD!!" He angrily pointed at Gummy.

"And how dare you accuse me???" Kala shouted.

(Y/n) heard all the screaming, waking her up. She sighed, bashing her alarm clock to see it was only 7:45am. She sighed and headed for Gummy's kitchen to see what all this screeching was about. She could only guess... the donut...

"Sure! I'm not supposed to accuse you, but it's perfectly fine and dandy for you to accuse me!? And while we're at it, HE CALLED ME A SCRAMBLED EGGS OR SOMETHING!" Gummy shouted and pointed at Harry.

(Y/n) chuckled at this, smirking, and leant against the door frame.

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did three!"

"Either way, I know I didn't eat it, so why don't the two of you at least come clean and admit that YOU BOTH DID!!! YOU... DONUT RUSTLERS!!" Kala screamed.

"Did not!"

"Did two and three!"

"Actually, it was me."

The three angered friends quickly swirled on their feet to see (Y/n) behind them.

"I did it to end this silly argument, and I ended up wanting to try it. I have to admit, it was good." She said, smirking.

"You..."

"Ate..."

"The last..."

"Donut???"

(Y/n) nodded.

Harry sniffed and looked down at the floor. "Farewell... little round friend..."

"So long... sweet one..." Kala added.

"We'll never, ever forget you!" Gummy said, blowing a kiss up to the sky.

(Y/n) chuckled, but suddenly felt guilt rising inside her. She had no idea her sister, her friend and her crush- uh, I mean her best friend, cared about a donut so much. An idea then sprang into her thoughts.

"I'll be right back!" She said, running out of Gummy's apartment and down the corridor.

Gummy watched with curiosity in his eyes as he waited for her to return.

Soon enough, (Y/n) came back through the tall, wooden door with another plate of unique looking donuts, so full they were close to falling off the edge. She placed them onto the kitchen table, brining joy to her friends.

"Thankfully, Granny had some more. There you go, tuck in!" She laughed, as she joined her friends, enjoying the donuts with them.
