Third Floor Common Room, Saturday Morning

[peace_n_war]

It was morning, and morning meant breakfast! And there weren't enough adults around to feed them, and Warren needed food. So he was gonna make some, 'cause he liked cooking anyhow! Anemone and him were going to make pancakes, and cereal, and scrambled eggs, and... Well. Mostly pancakes.

With mouse ears on them!

And on the counter. And on the fridge door. And on the floor...

"It's supposed to go in the pan, you know."

[Common room open! Breakfast on the way!]

"I don't feel that I need to explain my art to you, Warren," Anemone replied cheerily as she used the chocolate sauce they'd found in a cupboard to outline another shape on countertop. "I'm practicing."

[peace_n_war]

Warren watched for a moment, his eyebrows raised a little as he worked through ways to fob off cleaning the mess onto maybe the next person who entered the common room.

"They'd prolly taste better if you practised with them in the pan, though."

He could probably cook them on the countertop like that, but then there would be messy scorch marks and he'd get in trouble or something.

Robin hopped onto a chair, then onto the top of the back of the chair, and then onto the counter.

"Whatcha doin'?" he asked in tadpole.

Dean had been on his way to his brother's room but stopped in to see if there maybe was some food he could scrounge.

He stared at the mess for a minute and then told the other kids, "You're doing it all wrong!"

[peace_n_war]

"Nuhuhhh," Warren protested, crossing his arms over his chest and frowning. "We have it all mixed up and everything, we just have to cook it!"

Using the counter. And the fridge door. And the floor. As you do.

"I don't have to explain my art to you!" Anemone announced, licking batter off her fingers. "Or my pancakes."

A small blond girl walked into the common room wide-eyed. She was dragging a fuzzy pink teddy bear behind her.

"I'm hungry," she complained.

[peace_n_war]

"We're cooking," Warren noted, "kinda!"

They were totally kinda cooking. Mostly, it involved squeezing chocolate syrup on things.

"The cereal's ready, though. But it was boring to make."

Because it didn't involve actual cooking. Stupid cereal.

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"Then find food!" Anemone replied cheerfully. "We gots cereal an' pancake stuffs, but the pancakes aren't ready yet."

[heromaniac]

Momoko blinked when she saw the pink bear and she quickly ran up to the blond girl with a huge smile. "Hi! I have a bear too, but he's not hungry so he stayed in my room and his name is Mr Bear and he isn't pink he's brown only he's not mean like a real brown bear, okay? How come you has a pink one?"

Robin waved to the girl. And to the bear. He gurgled a hello in tadpole.

"You guys are making a mess!" Peyton said, rescuing an apple to keep her tummy occupied. "You're gonna be in big trouble!"

[peace_n_war]

"Well, we're gonna clean it," Warren stated flatly. And then, for good measure, he added a, "Duh."

Which was, in turn, accentuated by a gooey handful of pancake batter being waved toward the kid with the apple. Because, even wee, Warren was a bit of a bully when he wanted to be.

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"So?" Anemone shrugged, squirting more chocolate sauce into the pancake batter. "Big deal. Adults are always mad anyway. At least I get pancakes."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"You going to tattle?" Dean asked. Not that he didn't agree they were making a mess, but some things were more important.

[heromaniac]

Momoko was hungry and after making extra sure Mr. Bear wasn't, she ventured out alone in search of food. And since the smell of cooking was coming from that way, she ran excitedly to the common room and waved cheerfully to the other kids. "Hiii! Is you making breakfes cause Momoko is hungry and I can even help if you'll let me! I'm really good at breakfes cause it's an aportant start to the day and specially ceril cause they have toys in them sometimes, you know?"

[peace_n_war]

"Hi Momoko," Warren said with a sloppy little wave of one batter-smothered hand. "We're makin' pancakes! And scrambled eggs. And cereal, but cereal is boring."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Blav glee thththththpp!" Robin agreed.

Not only was Buffy still big, but no one had warned her about this.

Which was why upon going to the common room to grab something for breakfast, she was left with "...Oh god."

[heromaniac]

Momoko looked up from her cereal and waved. "Hiiii! Want some ceril? There's a whole bunches left and it's the good kind with lots of moshmellows and there's some with red berries! Want some?"

[peace_n_war]

Oooh, an adult! Or something kinda like one, which was close enough.

"Hi," Warren said, waving with a somewhat gooey hand. "We're making pancakes. Want some?"

His mom always told him he was supposed to share. His dad had told him that his mom was silly, but if sharing meant that someone else would be put to use...

"I need help working the stove."

Peyton had a lot of batter on her clothes and in her hair. "It wasn't me," she said quickly. "But I'm not saying who it was 'cause I'm no tattler!"

Robin hopped up and down waving cheerily.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Robin was exploring! There was so much to see outside his fishbowl.

That was why a tiny tadpole was hopping on his tail into the common room, gurgling happily.

[peace_n_war]

Some things just required staring, really.

"I didn't know pollyfrogs could do that," he said, wandering over to investigate.

He was totally the kind of kid that brought home snakes and spiders and frogs to hide in his mother's bed.
