Fifth Floor Common Room, Wednesday Evening

[proudsidekick.livejournal.com]

Layla was seriously disappointed by the lack of Pie Day celebrating that was going on. So, early in the afternoon, she made a trip into town for supplies, and came back to the fifth floor common room to bake. A few hours later, there was a line-up of pies on the counter, some from her own baking, and some from J,GOB, along with a sign:

Happy Pie Day!
Please help yourself!

She wondered idly if it had been such a good idea to buy so many cream pies. Only time would tell.

[Open! Feel free to be dirty pie-modders and make up what kind of pies you want there to be.]

Molly headed to the common room after cheer practice. "Oooo! Pie! What's the occasion?"

[proudsidekick.livejournal.com]

"It's Pi Day!" Layla replied. "Like, the number? 'Cause it's 3/14. So, everyone has an excuse to eat pie."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly laughed. "That's awesome," she said and looked over her choices. Finally deciding on cherry, she cut herself a small slice and sat down. "What's new with you?"

[proudsidekick.livejournal.com]

"Not much. I'm on my mid-week break from classes," she said. "How are you?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"I'm good," Molly said with a grin. "Wednesday is my lazy day too. No classes and only cheer practice to worry about."

[proudsidekick.livejournal.com]

"How's cheerleading going? I heard you guys won your competition."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"We did!" Molly said with a nod. "It was a lot of fun. Cheerleading is great. It doesn't even feel like actual exercise. I do wish we still had something to cheer for though."

[proudsidekick.livejournal.com]

"We need to get the guys off of their butts to do some sort of sports. Preferably in really cute uniforms."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"That is an excellent idea. Do we care what sport?"

[proudsidekick.livejournal.com]

Layla thought about that for a minute. "Probably not hockey. There's too much gear the guys have to wear."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly giggled. "A very good point. How about soccer? They usually take off their shirts at the end of the game."

[proudsidekick.livejournal.com]

"Ooooh, I like the sound of that! And they have to run around a lot, so they get really sweaty and shiny too."

It's like Jaye is just drawn to the pie. "Ooh, high calorie counts," she says, in lieu of greeting.

[proudsidekick.livejournal.com]

"The fruit pies are probably lower in calories than the ones with chocolate in them," Layla advised.

[fates_jaye]

"Yay chocolate," she says, going straight for the chocolate ones. "I have to make sure I have fattening food around when I watch models prace around on my TV. Just for full ironic effect."

[proudsidekick.livejournal.com]

"Models prancing?"

[fates_jaye]

"It's America's Next Top Model night," Jaye says, a little disbelieving. Everyone should know it.

[proudsidekick.livejournal.com]

"Oooh. Is that the show where the women are like 'Oh, I'm fine with getting a makeover, they can do whatever they want' and then they get makeovers and cry a lot?" Layla asked. "I'm not as knowledgeable about reality TV as I should be."

[fates_jaye]

"Yes! And there's not a lot of reality TV worth watching, but this one? I keep hoping Tyra will yell again." Jaye might be a little too excited about this.

[proudsidekick.livejournal.com]

"That sounds kind of mean. Which is probably the point..."

[fates_jaye]

"Uh huh. It's like a horror movie, only kind of prettier," she says. "Definitely less gore, too. You can't mess up the face, you know."

"Hey, pie!" said Dick as if no one else could clearly see there was pie there. He stood over them, trying to pick the right one to start with.

[proudsidekick.livejournal.com]

Layla giggled. "Everyone should have pie on Pie Day. Or, well, any day, really. But especially today."

[surferboy-09er.livejournal.com]

"There's a Pie Day?" asked Dick, amazed. "Why wasn't this on my calendar?"

[proudsidekick.livejournal.com]

"It's on every calendar - 3/14. Like the number pi," Layla said, giggling.

[swerval_zero]

Zero popped around the doorframe. "I smell pie."

[proudsidekick.livejournal.com]

"You smell correctly," Layla said, grinning. "There's still a lot left, so take your pick."

[swerval_zero]

Zero sidled over to a banana cream pie and picked it up. "I'll just take this one off your hands."

[proudsidekick.livejournal.com]

Layla giggled. "Oh thank you, that's very kind of you."

[swerval_zero]

"I'm very generous like that." With her finger, Zero carved an O with a slash through it in the pie's whipped cream topping to denote her ownership.

Irulan entered and looked at the sign curiously, "There is such a thing as a Pie day?"

[proudsidekick.livejournal.com]

"There is!" Layla said brightly. "Today's March 14th so it's like 3/14 which is like pi the number which means everyone has an excuse to eat pie!"

It's possible she sampled a bit too much of her own baking and is on a sugar high.

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

"Oh. That makes sense." Irulan said, "In a way. What flavors of pie do you have?"

[proudsidekick.livejournal.com]

"There are a bunch of fruit pies that I made," Layla said, pointing. "And some ones with chocolate and cream and tasty sugar from the bakery in town."

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

She approached the cream pie, "And you baked all these?"

[proudsidekick.livejournal.com]

"Some of them, yeah. I like cooking a lot," Layla explained.

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

Irulan was impressed, "You're quite..." What was the word? "Prolific." She cut a slice and began eating. "Delicious."

Kabuto was distracted from his homework by the sheer amount of pie. "...Who's celebrating White Day?" he asked curiously.

PIE!!!!!!!

Sokka was there in the corner. You might not have noticed him, because he was stuffing his face happily and not really saying much. Then again, he was also waving at people cheerfully, so you might have.
