Second floor common room, Wednesday afternoon

[gobrookeyourself]

With the Food Network on for noise and inspiration, Brooke was cooking.

No, seriously. There was food in the process of being prepared, and she was all cute in her apron and everything. The food would probably even be edible when it was all done. She'd sort of taken up the whole kitchen with stuff that needed to go into the oven, things that needed to get saran wrapped and put in the fridge, and cookies that were already done and waiting to be eaten and shared because she wasn't very good with self-control. Look, you had to get the important stuff done first.

Chad had a little bit before he was going to head into town to bring Teddy dinner, so he and Prince Oscar Pedro were wandering around, and neither of them could resist following their noses a little.

"This stuff for tomorrow?"

"Yep! Except the cookies. That's for today," Brooke said. "Wanna try one?" She'd probably improved since last time she made them.

"Sure," Chad said, never one to refuse free food, especially not from a sibling. Even if they were terrible, he'd still eat another just to make Brooke feel good. "Need any help with anything else?"

[gobrookeyourself]

"I need onions chopped and really don't want to do it," she said sweetly.

"I'm on it," Chad said, lifting a thumb in a thumbs up. "After I have a cookie, anyway."

"Well, you have to have priorities," Brooke allowed. "Are you sticking around for the weekend?"

"M'not American," Chad reminded her, picking out a cookie. "Not my holiday, so I don't really have anywhere to go. So, yeah. What about you?"

[gobrookeyourself]

"I didn't really feel like going home," she admitted. She wasn't sure her parents would even care either way. "At least if I stay here, I'm being productive, so productive it is."

"Productive's good," Chad agreed, nibbling on the cookie. It was hard to tell, because it was Chad, but his expression generally was one of approval.

Brooke watched him closely, mainly trying to see if he was going to try and spit it out or something without her noticing.

Sure it had been a while, but once you managed to suck down Orihime Inoue's cooking without flinching, you could eat anything.

And they weren't really all that bad. He ate the rest of the cookie in just a few short bites, and then wiped his hands on his pants.

"Onion?" he asked.

[gobrookeyourself]

"Right there," she said, pointing to where she'd placed them on the counter. "Thanks so much."

"No problem," Chad said, moving over to start cutting it up. "Glad to help."
