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.

"Hi," Brooke tried again. "Here for the cookies, aren't you?"

[momslilassassin]

Absolutely.

"There are cookies?" Ben replied, all innocence.

[gobrookeyourself]

She pointed to the plate. "Have at it, it's what they're there for."

[momslilassassin]

"Thank you," Ben said politely. "And you didn't even dump glitter on the table!"

[gobrookeyourself]

Brooke paused, like she wasn't sure if she'd done something wrong. "I have turkey confetti for tomorrow?"

[momslilassassin]

Ben was going to have to run this past Aravis. "Because the lady on the television told you to?"

[gobrookeyourself]

"Ew, no," she said. "Because it's sparkly and goes with the color scheme."

[momslilassassin]

"Color scheme," Ben repeated. "Does that go with 'tablescape'? Am I going to have to match the food or something?"

[gobrookeyourself]

"I have centerpieces," Brooke said, sounding confused. "What the hell have you been hearing?"

[momslilassassin]

Ben pointed at the television. "There was a scary blond lady on a few nights ago."

[gobrookeyourself]

"Yeah, we have to take the scary blondes on TV not too seriously or our heads explode," she advised. "Especially when they say words like 'tablescapes'."

[momslilassassin]

"Oh, thank the Force," Ben said, looking honestly relieved. "I was a little afraid of your holiday."
