Ami was getting things ready to bake again. There were already cookies in the oven and she was contemplating what type of chocolate cake to bake.

Sugar met egg whites and both met the mixer. "I have to say, i think this is the part that provides the stress relief..." Ami said, as she produced icing.

Billy watched for a moment. "I think I can see why." he said. "Does it help that they're called beaters?"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Possibly. You want to try?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Sure." he said, stepping forward. "How beaten do you want it?"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Stiff peaks. Um. Some."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Okay. Huh?"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Um... you whip them until when you turn the beaters upside down, it stays and doesn't droop."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Oh okay I can do that." he nodded, and began mixing. He held the bowl with one hand to make sure disaster did not strike.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Good thing, as disasters strike the unprepared. Instead what he had was a girlfriend who buried her nose in his back and giggled.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

That startled him a bit. "Ack, what's so funny?"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Nothing. Just being goofy."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Oh, okay, then go ahead and be goofy. Just be aware that I have a bowl of icing here and an electric beater, thing."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Are you goign to use the icing as a weapon?" AMi grinned.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Well no I was merely warning against possible messes. But now that you mention it, it could be used in that fashion yes."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami reached over and sticking her (clean!) finger into the icing scooped some up and deposited it on the tip of billy's nose. "Yes, it can"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Aw now see? You made a mess."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Nah, a mess is if it was on the floor " Ami smiled.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Be that as it may, there's icing on my nose. I'm fairly sure it was supposed to be on the cake."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"True. But you totally deserved it." she nodded.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy sighed, and with ninja like skill, streaked a dollop of icing on her jaw. "So there."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Hey!" Ami grinned "I didn't do anything!" Her protests were however drowned in giggles.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Sorry, here let me clean that off." And he licked the bit of icing off.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Ah i see your fiendish ploy." Ami giggled And of course licked his nose.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy grinned. "You may have seen it, but you fell for it anyway."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"True"
