5th floor common room, Wednesday morning

River had discovered how to make popcorn, and she mad them in a lidless pan. This wasn't a mistake, as it wasn't as if she was stupid. It was just a lot more interesting that way.

River added four more pans.

Pippi added oil and popcorn to the pans.

River watched more popcorns fly, while grinning widely.

"We could make popcorn angels!"

River flapped her arms and legs.

Pippi was trying to make a Popcorn Man, but it wasn't sticking together.

River handed her the maple syrup bottle. "Maybe this could work."

"Oh yes!" Pippi said as she took the bottle. "This should do nicely!"

She poured some into her hand and scooped up a handfull of popcorn.

River watched Pippi experimenting.

The syrup wasn't working very well.

"Hmmm, maybe we should try melted butter and marshmallows?"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"What's marshmallows?" River asked.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"They're fluffy white sugary things, and when you mush 'em up or melt them they get sticky but they cool they're less sticky."

River nodded, a grave expression on her face. "Do we have any?"

"Hmmm, there should be some in the pantry. The long cabinet there." she said getting up and sloshing her way through all the popcorn on the floor.

River lay down on her back on all the popcorn.

Pippi added more corn to most of the pans and cleaned one of them out to melt down the marshmallows.

"Here, try one before I melt the rest down!" She tossed a marshmallow at River's head.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River caught the marshmallow with her mouth. It was sweet, soft and sticky. "Mmmm," she said.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi popped one into her own mouth before dumping the rest of the bag into the pan she had with some butter.

"Mmmm indeed."

River still lay on the pile of popcorn, her mouth full of marshmallow, giggling.
