Altessa often practiced making pastries during her training to become the best princess of the Mysterious Planet. Many times she practiced cultivating gingerbread houses for Christmas, sculpting chocolate hearts for Valentine's Day, and even a brownie cheesecake for whatever occasion. Sometimes, if Bright wasn't busy studying or doing whatever he normally did, he accompanied her into making confections and sweets with her. Most of the time, Altessa would be the one who would end up making everything, since Bright was often called away for his princely duties. Still, he usually nabbed the first bite of Altessa's creations right when she presented them to him for an opinion.

One afternoon, Altessa showed Bright something she called the "Diamond Sparkle", which was just a cake with tons of sugar sprinkles to give it a glittering effect. The moment Bright received a slice from her, he pulled out a pair of two pairs of eating utensils from out of the blue and began eating with it.

"Onii-sama, what are you doing?" asked Altessa, frowning at the random action Bright committed.

Bright continued picking at the cake as if nothing had happened. It quickly occured to him that she was referring to what he was eating with. He stuck out his hand, showing Altessa the two sticks in his hand, casually saying,"These are chopsticks. I read about them quite a while ago, but I've never managed to have enough time to receive a pair. I've always wanted to try them out."

Altessa glanced at them in curiosity. "How can someone eat with two sticks?"

Bright shrugged. "Some people just manage,"he answered with a sly grin.

The blonde plopped down into her chair and picked up her own eating utensils. "I'd rather eat with a fork and a knife."

Her brother only broke out into a round of amused laughter at her response. "You should try something new once in a while,"suggested Bright between bites.

"Maybe later,"replied Altessa, carefully pushing a bite of her cake in between her strawberry-colored lips.

Bright pointed to the cake. "This is scrumptious,"he commented.

"Do you like it?"

Bright shook his head. "No. I love it. You should make more of these often if you have the time, Altessa."

Altessa smiled. "Sure,"she responded, "but only if you ditch those sticks."

Bright laughed again. "Maybe later."
