Grover Cleveland Campfire - Sunday Morning

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

Claire was up and about pretty early this morning. She had skipped all of the parties going on this weekend and it wasn't like she had to worry about hangovers anyway.

There was a fire going and she had a bunch of breakfast food set out to use with the pie irons she had picked up.

"At this rate, I'm never going to have to cook a damn thing around here," Alex observed, stumbling out of the cabin and shading his eyes from any sun that might try to assault him.

Claire looked up and smirked. "I heard it's your turn tonight."

Not that she had met this boy yet. Though deductive reasoning led her to assume he was Alex.

Her deductive reasoning was spot on. He had yet to deduce who anyone in his cabin was. He was a sharp guy sometimes.

"Not unless you want rice cakes," he said, taking a seat and rubbing his eyes. "And peanut butter."

"Oh, sounds delish," Claire joked. "Am I correct in assuming you're Alex?"

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah. I'm a gourmet chef," he said and settled more comfortable on the log. "I'm Alex, yep. How'd you guess?"

"Because I've met everyone else in the cabin except you and Yakko and, well, you don't look like a Yakko."

She grabbed one of the pie irons and a loaf of bread. "I'm Claire."

"Claire," he repeated, nodding. "I haven't met Yakko either. I assumed he was some misplaced hippie whose parents were high on LSD when they named him."

Claire giggled. "That's entirely possible. Then again, given this place, it's just as likely he's the high prince of some planet we've never heard of."

She gestured to the moddable supplies. "What do you want in your camper pie?"

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"This place," he repeated, shaking his head and looking over at the food. "What usually goes in camper pie? Roadkill?"

Well, camping and driving. They kind of went together in his mind.

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"Ew." Claire made a face at him. "You can put pretty much anything in them, but I bought fruit fillings and some lunch meat and cheese."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Right." Much better than roadkill. "Recommendations?"

"The apple pie is pretty good if you're craving something sweet," she said.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

He wasn't really craving anything but he figured he needed to eat something more than peanuts and beer.

"I've got nothing against apples," he decided. "Let's try that."

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"Okay," Claire said. She put two pieces of bread in the pie iron and scooped some apple pie filling on top. Then she closed the iron and held it in the fire.

"So, Alex, where are you from?"

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Midwest," he answered idly, keeping his eyes on that pie. That would have been useful back home. "Somewhere out in the middle. They all run together anyway."

"I don't think we've met before, but I think you are my new best friend," Hurley said with a grin as he walked over.

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"Sounds thrilling," she said, flipping over the pie iron. "I grew up in Texas."

Claire was a smart girl with a good memory. Big guy with long curly hair, she had a feeling this was the Hurley that Penelope had mentioned.

"I was in the market for a new best friend, Hurley," she said, taking the guess.

"What the hell are you doing all the way up here?" Alex asked, more curiosity than interest. "You don't seem like the type of person to smash some girl's head in a locker because she slept with your boyfriend."

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

That was a very specific theory. "Is that what you did to end up here?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Whoa," Hurley said. "That's the first time anyone's known my name already."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"I don't do boys," he replied. "So, no. I got here on a bus. It had four wheels."

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"I'm psychic," Claire said, grinning at him.

It... was probably obvious she was kidding.

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"I got here on a plane," she said.

"You up for sharing?" Riggins asked as he stepped into the campfire area. Yeah, this wasn't his campfire but nobody was cooking anything in his.
