Second Floor Common Room - Thursday Evening

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

Look, everybody needed some form of cake on their birthday even if they had to make it themselves. Which is why Meg was in the kitchen making her favorite type of cupcakes; chocolate with peanut butter icing. And since you couldn't just make one cupcake (unless you had an Easy Bake Oven) she was making a ton for those who wandered in the common room.

Lee found himself bored, found his own common room empty so he wandered down one floor to the second floor common room.

"People really like to cook in this place," he said by way of greeting.

"Isn't it great?" she said. "If you don't feel like cooking just head out to the common room and there's food."

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Seems so," Lee said, coming further inside. "What're you making?"

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"Birthday cupcakes." she said. "And by that I mean I'm going to make chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter icing and then stick a candle in one of them."

Billy had a bag of handwavily bought snacks for the sharing, and followed the smell of baked goodness.

"What smells so good?"

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"Cupcakes." Meg said.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Any special occasion?" My but those looked good.

"It's my birthday." she said proudly.

Dean was bored and wandering; Dean also had a good nose for free food. Which explained him wandering in. "Hey Meg," he greeted her, coming over to lean on the counter. "Whatcha making?"

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"Chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter icing." she said. "My favorite."

"This would be when I tell you you have good taste then," Dean teased with a grin. "Peanut butter icing? Never tried it, but it sounds damned good."

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

Meg smirked. "It's the best icing ever. You pretty much just mix powdered sugar and peanut butter together. Horrible for your teeth but so worth it."

Annette was on her way to Dick's room but thought she'd poke her head into the common room first... "Oooh, something smells yummy."

Then she noticed Meg. "Uhh."

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"Hey." Meg said. She wasn't smiling.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Annette replied and like turned around to head in the opposite direction.

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"Dick's probably in his room." she said. He had given her a Milky Way bar as a birthday gift earlier.

"We got off the wall," Lee said and smiled weakly at her.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette couldn't help but grin. "I see that. I'm sorry again that I couldn't help."

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Not your fault," Lee said and shrugged. "Thanks for trying. Whatever Professor Kerrigan used withstood just about everything."

Jack wandered in, wondering if Cass was returning the favor from yesterday and cooking for him.

No, that didn't look like Cass. He waved.

Meg waved back. "Hi!"

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Hey. What's that, cupcakes?" He looked puzzled. Did he know her?

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"Yep." she said. "Chocolate ones. I'm Meg, by the way."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette looked at the guy who makes really weird food. "Hi."

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

Hey! It's good food! Just because Annette doesn't like it and that monkey didn't know the goodness of peanut butter bacon and jam sammiches...
"Hi!" He waved at her.
