Fifth Floor Common Room [Wednesday evening]

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Sookie had gotten phone calls from both her grandmother and Tara earlier about the coming weekend. Gran had said she definitely wouldn't be able to come due to a recent storm taking out some pretty heavy damage on the house, so finances were limited. Tara had said she'd do what she could, but to expect a visitor no matter what. That was...cryptic and weird, but Sookie had kind of dismissed it as Tara being Tara.

In any case, to cheer herself up a little, she'd moved out to the common room and was whipping up a batch of chocolate-chip cookies. Partly because they made her feel better, and partly because she owed them to someone, so it'd be a good idea to have them on hand. She turned the TV onto Squee, because even if she couldn't sing, other kids could, and they'd make her happier. Plus, fake baby storylines were always amazing.

"I don't know, have you done anything cookie-worthy lately?" Bobby asked.

"I saved a girl from a sad deprivation of junk food just the other day," Jaime declared.

"That is a very noble deed," Bobby agreed with a solemn tone. "Totally cookie-worthy."

[weldedtomyspine]

"I'm glad you agree," Jaime nodded in approval. "And what about you?"

[longislandiceme]

"Sookie wounded my terribly fragile ego, so the cookies are supposed to make up for that," he explained.

[weldedtomyspine]

"Oooooh, dare I ask what she did?"

[longislandiceme]

"She reminded me of how I totally failed at making peanut butter cookies," Bobby said. "I was just starting to get over the crushing disappointment and then she brought it up."

"That is just horrible and wrong of her," Jaime shook his head. "And chocolate chip was the best apology she could come up with?"

Not that Jaime wasn't loving the chocolate chip.

"Well, I did request it. She offered to make any kind of cookie, though. I'm just a fan of the classics."

[weldedtomyspine]

"Well, they are classics for a reason," Jaime pointed out, munching happily on his cookie.
