Third Floor Common Room, Sunday Brunch

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn decided the time was right to attempt to make french toast. What could be better on Easter Sunday than brunch, right? So she'd handwavily bought some good bread, eggs, sugar, and vanilla, and was currently trying to figure out the right proportions of things. The griddle wasn't heating yet.

Being Dawn, in addition to syrup, she'd also bought strawberry jam, nutella, tobasco sauce, chocolate chips, walnuts, bananas, raspberry sauce, caramel, and peanut butter. There were also bacon and ham available if someone wanted to make them, and plenty of extra eggs and bread in case someone didn't want to go the french toast route.

She sipped at her pineapple juice and contemplated going to look up a recipe.

"You could totally tell me!" Buffy protested, giggling. "I wouldn't tell the squirrels or anything!" She took a bite off her sandwich while thinking. "I'm good too. Am working on something really secret though."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Ooooh, secret?" Dawn asked immediately, "Like what?"

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

"No, it's a secret secret!" Buffy grinned.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn pouted and bit back the instinctive you never tell me anything whine. "I could keep it!"

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

Buffy looked around cautiously. "Maaaybe, but there could be squirrels here! In the vents or something!"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"You could whisper it! Or pantomime!"

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

Buffy stared at her, trying to picture miming a yearbook. "Uhh." She shrugged. "I can try miming?"

She made a square over her eyes with her fingers, and then she placed her hands together palm up at about chest hight and gave Dawn an expectant look.

"You're getting glasses and collecting donations for charity?" Dawn scratched her head.

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

Buffy sighed and resisted the urge to kick Dawn in the shin. "No."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Um..." Dawn thought and was very mature about not sticking her tongue out, "You're building a birdhouse?"

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

"Definitely not," Buffy said firmly. She started making herself another sandwich. "I don't think I'd be good at it."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Why not?" Dawn asked, then realized she already knew the answer. "Never mind. So, um, I give up."

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

Buffy grinned at her. "It's still a secret secret!" That totally wasn't a neener in her voice.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn kicked out, aiming towards Buffy's ankle.

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

Because she hadn't expected it, Dawn made contact before Buffy danced away, holding the peanut-butter-covered-knife up like a stake. "Hey!"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Oh my god, not the peanut butter!" Dawn shrieked, giggling, "Anything but that!"

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

"Totally the peanut butter! I'll get you, little girl, oh yes!" Buffy threatened in between giggles. She jabbed the knife playfully at Dawn, making there was no way she'd accidentally hurt her.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"EEEEEEE!" Dawn dodged out of the way, "I will never yield to you, when I have the power of the..." she grabbed an object at random, which happened to be an empty egg shell, "Shield of the egg!"

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

"Noes! Not the shield of the egg!" Buffy protested, snorting. "That's just not fair! You have to give me a fighting chance!"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

She thought about that. "No." Then she brandished the egg shell at Buffy.

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

Buffy jerked away from it, flailing with the knife, probably leaving lumps of peanut butter all over the place. "Mean!"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Little sister," Dawn corrected, scowling as a lump of peanut butter landed on her arm, "and watch it with that stuff!"

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

Buffy considered. "Mean little sister, then!" She waved the knife some more, just because.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn ducked down and covered her head with both arms. "Mean big sister! You...peanut butter flinger!"

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

Buffy gasped in mock outrage. "Oh my god, you take that back!"
