Peony may have placed second in the highly popular cooking show Space Battle Lunchtime, but with a girlfriend and a royal catering gig for a space empress, she's on top of the world! Until she discovers that her old rival, Melonhead, is catering the same event. But that's a piece of cake - she's dealt with Melonhead before. What she hasn't dealt with is her girlfriend Neptunia's mysterious past, which comes to a head when Nep's sister turns out to be the empress's bodyguard. And what Peony absolutely can't deal with is an attempt on the empress's life - especially when she's the prime suspect!

All this cutthroat culinary sabotage was supposed to be over when Space Battle Lunchtime ended... but in the competitive world of catering, there's always someone ready to stab you in the back.

Peony had always thought that she had it all. She had won the highly competitive cooking show Space Battle Lunchtime, had a loving girlfriend named Neptunia, and was even hired by a space empress to cater her royal events. But as she prepared for the biggest event of her life, Peony couldn't shake off the feeling that something was not quite right.

She had always been aware of her old rival, Melonhead, who had placed second in the show the year before. Melonhead had always been a bitter rival, and Peony had done her best to ignore him. But now, as she looked over the list of caterers for the empress's event, she saw that Melonhead was listed as one of the main caterers.

Peony couldn't believe it. She had always thought that she was the better chef, and she couldn't understand why the empress would choose Melonhead over her. She tried to brush it off, telling herself that it was just a coincidence. But as the event drew closer, Peony's suspicions grew stronger.

She started to notice strange things happening around the empress's palace. Food was disappearing, and there were strange noises coming from the kitchen at night. Peony knew that she had to do something to investigate.

One night, as she was working late in the kitchen, Peony heard a noise coming from the storage room. She quietly tiptoed towards the sound, and when she reached the door, she saw Melonhead standing there, holding a knife.

Peony was shocked. She had never seen Melonhead act so aggressively before. She tried to calm him down, but he lunged at her, and they struggled for the knife.

Just as Melonhead was about to stab Peony, Neptunia burst into the kitchen. She saw what was happening and tried to pull Melonhead off of Peony. But Melonhead was too strong, and he managed to get away.

Peony was left lying on the ground, bleeding from a wound in her stomach. Neptunia was beside her, crying and calling for an ambulance. Peony knew that she had to do something to stop Melonhead before he hurt anyone else.

She gathered her strength and got to her feet. She knew that she had to confront Melonhead and find out what he was planning. She went to the police station and filed a report, and then she went to the empress's palace to confront Melonhead.

Melonhead was surprised to see Peony, but he didn't seem intimidated. He laughed in her face and told her that he had been planning to take down Peony for years. He had been jealous of her success and wanted to prove that he was better than her.

Peony was devastated. She couldn't believe that someone she had once considered a friend could be so cruel. She tried to reason with Melonhead, but he was too far gone. He threatened to kill her and anyone who stood in his way.

Peony knew that she had to act fast. She went to the empress's palace and told her what had happened. The empress was shocked and angry, but she knew that she had to do something to protect Peony and the rest of her staff.

She called in the royal guards and ordered them to arrest Melonhead. Melonhead was taken into custody, and he was charged with attempted murder.

Peony was relieved that Melonhead was gone, but she knew that she had a long road ahead of her. She had lost a friend, and she had been hurt. But she also knew that she had been strong enough to stand up to him and that she had the support of her girlfriend and the empress.

As the empress's event drew closer, Peony worked harder than ever to ensure that it was a success. She cooked delicious meals, and she made sure that everything was perfect. And when the day of the event arrived, Peony was filled with pride as she watched the empress and her guests enjoy her food.

In the end, Peony emerged from the ordeal stronger than ever. She had learned that sometimes, the people we trust the most can hurt us the most. But she also knew that she had the strength and the support of her loved ones to overcome any obstacle.
