Fourth Floor Common Room, Monday evening

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

Charlie had a huge pot of water for spaghetti boiling, tomatoes and onions chopped up, garlic diced into tiny pieces, and hamburger browning.

She was sure she was forgetting something. Anyone who wanted to help her make dinner was more than welcome.

After spending the afternoon in the common room, Isabel had gone to her room for a while. Now she came back, debating what to make for dinner.

"You're cooking? Awesome! Please tell me you're sharing."

"Anybody who wants some can have some! It's a thank you to Ronan, the Nomadic Celtic Chef." She smiled, and ducked her head over the chopping board as she cut up some peppers. "And you. And Dean. And everyone who's been cool, the last week or so."

"Ronan, the Nomadic Celtic Chef? Did I miss something?" Isabel pulled up a stool to the counter. "Don't worry about it, I was glad I could help."

Spotting people he knew was still an exciting event for A.J. "Isabel!" he lifted a hand in a wave. "Hey!"

"Hi AJ," she smiled. "You've discovered the secret of Fandom. Common room food."

Even before it was cooking, Ronan could smell the garlic, even from a floor up. That's how it seemed, anyway, as he made his way down to the fourth floor. "... Food?" he said, plaintively, grinning as he saw Charlie at the stove. "Hey."

"Nomadic Celtic Chef!" Charlie blurted, then covered her face. "I mean, hi, Ronan."

Ronan looked at Charlie for a very long moment. "... I suppose you'd be one of the fangirls I heard about, then?" he said, grinning, as he stepped towards where she was cooking. "Want some help?" he added, as he gestured at the knife and cuttting board.

"Hey Ronan," Isabel smiled. "She's going to feed us!"

Ronan smiled back. "I can see!" he said, grinning. "And there's garlic!"

A.J. was looking at Ronan, looking a little confused and thoughtful as he tried to figure out if he'd met this guy or not. He wanted to figure it out before he said hi or anything, but, at the same time, he was doing a piss poor job of hiding his considerations on the matter.

Johnny stopped by, just like he told Charlie he would.

"Two plates of spaghetti! To go please!"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"What do I look like? A waitress?" Isabel laughed.

"Hey, Johnny!" Ronan said, grinning. He totally wasn't thinking about their very successful date over the weekend.

Charlie was tasting the sauce, and almost spluttered it all over the kitchen. "Hey! Hang on! We are almost ready! And taste this, does this taste right?" She shot Ronan a glance out of the corner of her eye, and said, "Ronan made the cheese sauce."

A.J. John had to wave to Johnny when he spotted him from where he was helping with a salad (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/1158624.html?thread=97328096#t97328096). "Hey, Johnny!"

A.J.'s head poked into the common room. "Hey, anyone know any good places around here to play po--ooooh, food." Eyes a little wide with excitement, he forgot his original ideas to go investigate.

"Have some!" Charlie waved a slotted spoon at him, splashing a few drops of water, then looked abashed. "We've got bolognese sauce, and cheese sauce, and olive oil and herbs if you're a vegan. And French bread." She frowned. "I should've made a salad."

After not seeing Ami in their room for a while and starting to feel a little worried, Setsuna went to go look for her, stopping by first in the common room. She inhaled deeply at the wonderful smells coming from the kitchen area. "Whatever you're making, Charlie," she complimented idly, "it smells wonderful."

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

"Thanks! Spaghetti, with bolognese sauce, or cheese, or oil and herbs. Those last two are all Ronan," she added, happy at how the food had turned out. "And Isabel did lots of the work too. Want some? I don't want it to go to waste."

Dean wandered in, following his nose. "Something smells good."

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

"Dean!" Charlie grinned, spreading her arms in victory. "Spaghetti! Nomadic Celtic Chef did the cheese sauce, and Isabel helped make it great, and A.J. did the salad, and we've got way too much, so there should be just enough if you're here!"

Free food and an invite, Bart was so there.

"Hi! Need any help?"

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Bart! Glad you came. It's just about ready." Charlie grinned, looking around, then said, "Buttering the bread, maybe? It's the only thing left."

"Hey Bart," Dean said, around a mouthful of spaghetti. "How's things going?"
