Third Floor Common Room [Wednesday evening]

[weldedtomyspine]

Jaime had mostly nursed his headache from Monday into something reasonable, so now he was ready to do something. Anything, really. As long as it didn't involve lying around in his room.

Fortunately, there was a common room. And Jaime knew how to bake. At the moment he was whipping up three different cookie recipes at once. Not that he was planning to eat three entire batches of cookies on his own, of course. But this was Fandom, and he was in a common room.

He figured he'd have help.

"He is! But he lets her do some amateur stuff sometimes, though; she's wanted to be a pro-wrestler for the longest time and neither of her brothers seem to care."

[weldedtomyspine]

"Wow..." Jaime frowned, trying to imagine that. "She must be pretty strong, huh?" And big, too. Bigger than Momoko, for sure.

[heromaniac]

Momoko nodded and puffed up a little, extremely proud of her friend. "She is! And she's good at any sport she tries. The school she got into is totally famous for athletics! They were so confused when she showed up! They were totally expecting a boy, with her background. Not a cute girl."

[weldedtomyspine]

Jaime barked a laugh. "Bet they'd have been even more surprisedif you'd shown up, though." Because while he hadn't met Kaoru, Jaime bet Momoko was cuter.

[heromaniac]

"Since all I'd be able to do would be a few tumbles and maybe a short run? Totally surprised. Sports are not! not! not! my thing." She crossed her arms in front of her face, groaning self-mockingly. "Although I am a fairly good bowler!" She peaked around her hands and grinned at him. "Years of throwing a yo-yo, you know."

[weldedtomyspine]

"Ha! I bet. We'll have to go sometime, you can give me some pointers."

[heromaniac]

She laughed. "You mean like, 'knock down the pins'?"

[weldedtomyspine]

"Hey, that's better than I usually do!" Actually, he wasn't that bad. Except last time he'd gone bowling there had been more making out than actual bowling.

[heromaniac]

"Which means we totally have to go sometime! A sport I kind of like, can play, and I won't have to cheat to win? Awesome!"

[weldedtomyspine]

"You say that now, but I know you'll cheat anyway. If I get close to winning." She would! He was onto her!

[heromaniac]

She would! He was on to her, darn it. She put on her most innocent expression.

"I don't know what you mean."

[weldedtomyspine]

"You should try that on someone who doesn't know you," Jaime suggested with a chuckle.

[heromaniac]

"You're just a sore loser." She gave in and chuckled, too. "And you totally cheat just as much as I do."

[weldedtomyspine]

"What?" Jaime objected stridently. "How do I cheat? It's not like I have the eyes!"

[heromaniac]

"No, but you have the cookies!" She picked another off the plate and waved it at him. "And you're always threatening to leave me behind. That's totally cheating." She chomped the cookie.

"But I was actually thinking of how you always tickle me when I'm winning." Very distracting!

[weldedtomyspine]

"Tickle you? I'd never do that!" Unless it were important. Or he she was winning.

Or it'd be funny.

[heromaniac]

"Ah! It must have been that other guy, then. Right. Sorry!" She rolled her eyes, giggling.

[weldedtomyspine]

"Yeah! My evil twin! Did you remember to check for a goatee?"

[heromaniac]

"I always forget to check for the goatee." She snapped her fingers and shook her head sadly. "I should know better by now."

[weldedtomyspine]

"Seriously! I mean, this is Fandom." Jaime shook his head in disappointment. Because, really!

[heromaniac]

"Right! I mean, it's been two years! I should totally know by now that the cuter ones are totally the evil twin."

[weldedtomyspine]

"Yeah, you--" Jaime paused. Wait. What?

"Cuter ones?"

[heromaniac]

"Yep! You know, the evil twin is always the cuter one? It's totally Heroing 101," she looked innocently at him. "And the most gorgeous lady in the whole case is always evil too. Basics. You should totally learn them."

[weldedtomyspine]

"I'm pretty sure we watched something a week or two ago where that wasn't true at all!"

Then he smirked. "And are you suggesting I'd look cuter with a goatee?"

[heromaniac]

She tsked. "You can't believe everything you see in the movies, Jaime. And no, we're talking about your evil twin, remember? Not you. You would never tickle someone to distract them mid-game."
