2nd Floor Common Room - Sunday Evening

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

Meg was bored. When Meg was bored she tended to get the urge to cook something. So now she was in the kitchen, making chocolate chip cookies. There was no telling how many cookies will actually end up in the oven since she kept eating the raw cookie dough. It was good, dammit.

Dean was bored of his room, so he'd gone wandering. And look, here was a common room with a pretty blonde of the female persuasion. Definitely a cure for boredom.

"You do know you're supposed to cook them right?" he asked after watching her for a minute.

"I'm cooking some of them!" she said, pointing to the oven. "Besides, the dough tastes almost as good as the cookies."

"I always tried to have an extra batch of dough for eating," Dean said.

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"That's always my plan too." she said. "Well, for eating and just in case I burn the first batch."

"I always needed something to distract Sammy with too," Dean said. "Especially before he fully grasped that baking took time."

"Hah, I wish my sister grasped that concept." Meg said. "Lizzie prefers instant gratification."

And that's now why Lizzie was in a girls-only school.

"I have to admit, now that we're almost the same age, I'm probably the one who has more of a patience problem than Sammy," Dean admitted. "He's almost disgustingly good at waiting for things now."

"I like to think I'm a pretty patient person." Meg said. "Except when it comes to cookies. Because, you know, the dough is sitting right there practically asking to be eaten."

Dean nodded. "It really has no one to blame but itself."

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"Seriously. If it really wanted to wait to be baked then it shouldn't look so delicious." And all that talking about it made Meg want more so got another spoon full.

Dean grinned and picked up some with his fingers. "Temptress," he said to it before shoving it in his mouth.

Meg smirked. "Good, huh?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Mouth full of cookie dough, Dean made a sound that sounded vaguely like "Yeah!"

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

Meg laughed. "Glad you enjoy it. I aim to please."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"You do," Dean said, then swallowed and repeated himself in English instead of cookie doughish. "You do. I had a good time Friday."

"I did too." Meg said, smiling. "After all the things I heard about the school I sort of expected space monkeys to attack Town Hall or something. It was surprisingly normal."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"I guess the space monkeys' invitation got lost in the mail."

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"Good thing." she said. "That would have really killed the mood."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"You'd be surprised. Sometimes there's nothing like a good invasion to get the blood pumping."

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"I can see that." Meg said. "But it would have sucked to fight off invaders in that dress."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean chuckled. "Yeah, not exactly hunt friendly clothes. Though you'd probably distract the hell out of the space monkeys."

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

Meg grinned. "I'd just be doing my part to protect the school."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"We all serve in our own ways," Dean agreed. He paused then asked, "Would you maybe like to do something together again sometime?"

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"I'd love to." she said, smiling.

"Maybe next weekend?" Dean suggested. "I've got a car; we can go to the mainland, do dinner, maybe a movie?"
