Fifth Floor Common Room, Thursday Evening

[wasthecuteone]

Petra was, she would readily admit, not what one would call a great cook. She could do the basics and maybe even get a little creative from time to time, and she could catch and clean a fish and cook it over the campfire like a pro, but she wasn't about to start whipping out five-course gourmet meals. But she was pretty confident in her ability to follow directions, and she'd been poking around on the internet earlier when she found the perfect recipe for the club fair tomorrow: cupcakes. And not just any cupcakes, but rainbow cupcakes. They were so cute, so cheerful, so on-theme, so delicious!

Sure, there were a lot of fiddly steps involved in making the layers come out right, but as long as she took her time and read through carefully, and didn't freak out when some of the yellow batter somehow got in her hair, it was all good. She even made the frosting, although she was tempted to just use Funfetti. Also, her apron was super cute, if she did say so herself.

((Open common room is open! But Petra'll swat your hand with a spatula if you try to take one of her cupcakes. They're for tomorrow.

Well. Maybe if you're really nice she'll let you sample one for quality control.))

"Ahhh. And that's not to be passed up," Scully agreed. "I think I have to -- let's see. Had children. Turned into a child. Turned into a guy. Turned into an animal. Went crazy." She was ticking things off on her fingers, then looked at her black talon-nails, and held them up for Jack. "Acquired permanent physical change. I think I just need to ... uhhh..." Really, what was left?

"You could go bald," Jack pointed out. "That would be different."

"Pass," Scully said, pointing the ladle at him. "You? You got here at the beginning of the summer, if I remember right."

"And I still have my hair intact," Jack agreed.

"Let's hope it stays that way. Although if you stay friends with Sam," she cocked her head to the younger girl, "I get the impression that may be out of your hands."
